"Do you know what's going on in Shuofang County?"

Thinking of what he was looking for Kuang Yao, Rong Ruo asked.

"Well, know some!"

Kuang Yao nodded.

"This year, the Huns froze to death because of the heavy snow, so those Huns hit the idea to Shuofang County, but Shuofang County's troops were weak and suffered defeat, and now I don't know if General Wei's reinforcements have arrived?"

When it comes to General Wei, Kuang Yao's eyes are bright, it seems that this General Wei is his idol.

"Since the Xiongnu have been committing crimes every year, why don't the imperial court send more people to garrison the border passes?"

Rong Ruo was puzzled.

"Also, didn't you say that there is a fierce general under General Wei? Why is there no news of him this time? ”

For many of the rules and regulations here, Rong Ruo has never had the opportunity to understand them clearly, so at this moment, Rong Ruo is like an ordinary ordinary person, and he doesn't know anything.

Kuang Yao glanced at Rong Ruo, and then whispered:

"After the founding of Da Chu, no matter which general leads the troops to garrison the border passes, the imperial court will not leave too many soldiers and horses, only when the war starts, the imperial court will send additional people to support!"

"As for the fierce general under the command of General Wei that Gongzi said, it seems that he is the son of an official family in the capital, and as soon as the battle is over, he will be transferred back to the capital!"

"This time, I don't know if the imperial court will send him out again, even if it is him, when he brings the troops over, it will take some time, which will hurt the people of Shuofang County!"

Kuang Yao's tone was indescribably lonely.

So, is this what the Great Chu Imperial Court did?

In order to seize power, he directly abandoned the people on the frontier and ignored it?

Rong Ruo couldn't say how angry he was!

This kind of inaction, but only calculating how to seize the power, is estimated to be short-lived.

It's just that this kind of rebellious words, Rong Ruo only dares to complain in his heart.

Right now, she is just a small person, at most a businessman with a little money, and those rulers at the pinnacle of power, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, and they can't get along!

Since he had a general understanding of the current idea of imperial power, Rong Ruo understood why Gongsun Nian, a concubine who leaned on the big tree of the prime minister, acted so flamboyantly.

The so-called upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked, which seems to be very reasonable.

Thinking about it this way, Rong Ruo suddenly felt that she should become stronger as soon as possible, otherwise, when she met someone stronger than herself, she would only be beaten.

Although we have no one in the officialdom, as long as the financial resources are strong enough and money can make the devil grind, it is at least better to have money than no money and no power.

Now that there is war at the border again, in such a turbulent era, it is better to have more family background.

That is, a profitable and reliable business, Rong Ruo thought about it for a long time, and felt that only the food ration business was the most realistic.

After a simple calculation, Rong Ruo decided that it would be most reliable to open a grain and rice shop.

No matter what kind of person they are, they always have to eat, and the grain and rice shop has the widest contact with people.

Although it is winter and the price of grain and rice is high, we can do business not only for now.

Only by opening their shops in advance will the farmers be willing to sell their grain to their shops when the next spring harvest comes.

Hearing that Rong wanted to open a grain and rice shop, Song Dacheng enthusiastically introduced several grain merchants to Rong Ruo as soon as possible, and in this way, around the half moon, there was another shop called Kangzhuang Grain and Rice in Longzhong County.

The food source is not worried, and there is Kuang Yao's vigorous publicity, after the store opened, the business was quite passable.

After Rong Ruo sat in charge for half a month, he saw that Kuang Yao could basically be in charge on his own, so he started to be the shopkeeper again.

"The gates are closed!"

Early this morning, when Rong Ruo's morning exercise was over, he heard a noisy shouting outside the door.

"What's going on?"

Rong Ruo asked the nursing home.

"Childe, it was said that the county ordered someone to close the city gate!"

"What do you do when you close the gates in broad daylight? Did the Huns call? ”

Rong Ruo frowned, this Da Chu's border guards won't be so useless!

"It's not, it's just another wave of displaced people in the north, the previous displaced people are in the city, which has caused a lot of chaos, if this group of displaced people enters the city again, I'm afraid there will be a disaster, so the county order ordered someone to close the city gate!"

The nursing home explained indifferently.

The so-called displaced people are ordinary people who have left their homes to escape the war.

Rong Ruo listened to the shouts on the street and gradually weakened, walked over, and opened the door to see what was going on.

"Childe be careful, it's messy outside!"

Nursing home reminder.

"It's okay, I'll just take a look from afar!"

Rong Ruo waved his hand and went out.

Walking on the street, you can easily tell at a glance which ones are locals and which ones are outsiders who fled some time ago.

Because the locals are at least cleanly dressed, either looking out at the door of their homes, or carrying food baskets or other items.

Most of the outsiders, dressed in dirty clothes, were women and children, old and weak, and they all looked at the city gate with fear and helplessness, as if they were afraid that someone would suddenly drive them out of the city.

There is still a shelter from the wind and rain and those vacant grass huts in the city, but outside the city, except for the barren and open space, it only takes one night to freeze people to death.

"Brother Cha, this city gate is closed, what if someone wants to leave the city?"

Rong Ruo approached the city wall and looked at the messenger in front of him and asked.

"Let's just do what we are told, if we want to go out of the city, go to the county order!"

The officer replied with a blank face.

"Young Master Rong, are you going out of the city?"

A person came down from the city tower, saw Rong Ruo, and opened his mouth to ask.

"It's County Lieutenant Zhao!"

Rong Ruo looked up and saw a black-faced man in his early thirties walking slowly down from the city tower.

The person who came was none other than Zhao An, the county lieutenant in charge of public security and the arrest of thieves in Longzhong County.

"Recently, Rong Gongzi still doesn't want to go out of the city, there are homeless people outside, and it's very chaotic."

Zhao An was ordered by the county order Gu Xianzhi to help Rong Ruo pass the scene, and he had a good impression of Rong Ruo, who was generous and bold.

"I just heard that the city gate is closed, come and check the situation!"

Rong Ruo nodded.

"It's okay, it's just some homeless people from the north, don't worry, we're safe here!"

Zhao An comforted Rong Ruo very intimately.

Rong Ruo returned home with an indescribable mood.

Throughout the day, Rong Ruo was a little absent-minded.

At night, lying in the soft and warm quilt, Rong Ruo did not fall asleep quickly as usual.

Turning over and over, Rong Ruo's mind always recalled the pair of eyes full of fear and helplessness that he saw during the day.

In his previous life and in this life, Rong Ruo has never really seen so many people who have been displaced by the war, and they are all vulnerable groups who are old, weak, sick and disabled.

Now it's a cold winter moon, and there is no shelter from the house, so whether you can see the sun the next day or not can only be resigned to fate.
