Chapter 13 Where Did the Food Go?

In winter, the road is cold and slippery, and there is sometimes snowfall, and the wheels are rolling forward, and the speed does not dare to be too fast.

The pale-faced young man, wrapped in a white fox fur cloak, leaned lazily against the wall of the car with his back, not knowing what he was thinking.

The crisp sunlight fell on his face through the window paper, a little dazzling, and the boy simply closed his eyes, and his long eyelashes hung down, like two butterflies had fallen.

Cui Lie don't look around.

Qi'er is too similar to her sister, just as thin.

The capital is about to arrive, do you really want to send such a nephew back to the Longtan Tiger's Den? According to him, since this is already the case, it is better to take the opportunity to pretend to fake death and go to Beichuan to have a happy life.

"Uncle, let's separate in Sanshui County in front." The boy suddenly opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.

"Qi'er...... You, listen to your uncle's advice. ”

The young man shook his head and interrupted: "My surname is Li." ”

There are some things that you have to try.

He lowered his eyes so that no one could see the obscurity in his eyes. Nowadays, the state-owned traitors are in charge, and the eunuchs are in charge; The gate valve party is endless; Local divisions do not end; Coupled with natural and man-made disasters, the people are not able to make a living, and the rebels are repeated, and Jibei and Weizhou are the best proof.

The situation in Ningguo is already in jeopardy, and the country is about to move, but at this time, what are his fathers and his brothers doing?

Oh, scrambling, I can only see the present, and I can't wake up from my big dream!

When Siyi sharpened his sword, stepped through the entrance of the Central Plains, and drove straight in, it was too late to say anything.

Therefore, there is not much time left for him, and he must return to the capital.

Cui Lie was dumbfounded.

"Uncle, do we have any manpower in Liangzhou?"

"Why do you ask this? That's the Xiao family's territory. "He and his nephew haven't seen each other for three years, and he's become a lot in the past three years. It turned out that he didn't know anything about the world, and he either chanted the wind and the moon, or locked himself up to study mechanics and build machines, but now he ......

Three years, can you really ask a person to change so much?

How could Li Qi not know the surprise in Zhou Lie's heart, but knowing it doesn't mean that he will explain.

It's not that he didn't think about hiding his name and secretly cultivating power, but after weighing all the way, he still decided to go back to the capital first and be his sixth prince again.

Li Xun killed himself, but by the way, the poison of incense has penetrated deep into his bone marrow, and he is a sick, weak, poisoned, and motherless young prince who has no mother to rely on, which is the most reassuring thing under his nose, and reassuring them that they have more opportunities to speed up efficiency.

Common sense infers that if you are not stupid, you will definitely find a place to hide and grow in secret, as your uncle said, but you are stupid!

Cui Lie couldn't think of his experience, but when he remembered his sister, he was still ready to persuade again, but at this time, he suddenly heard an outsider from the car reporting: "General, there is Sanshui Town in front." ”

…………

In the city of Jibei, Shen Qiutan was wrapped in a half-new jacket robe, holding a broken bowl in his hand, waiting in line for soup kitchen.

More than a month has passed since the fire in the Thorn Mansion, and Shen Qiutan is mixed among the refugees, so he naturally heard a lot of rumors, for example, the imperial court did not care about Jibei and Jizhong, and once allocated money for grain twice, but this disaster relief thing either sank or suffered from fire.

Several times, the officials in charge of escorting the materials were naturally not held accountable, but at that time, the imperial court was in an eventful time, and the power party was overturned, and many parties were disagreeing, which naturally affected the efficiency of disaster relief later.

She also heard that the Daning Dynasty had actually turned the sky upside down.

Two months ago, the king of Han Li Lang rebelled, although there were good ministers and fierce generals who defended the peace of Gyeonggi and suppressed the king of Han in time, but the crown prince Li Jue fell in this mutiny.

Not to mention how many people's minds float as soon as the prince dies, Shen Qiutan is more concerned about her stomach and the court's treatment of her father.

It's just that for some reason, there has been no relevant news.

The person who received the porridge in front thanked Dade and said auspicious words, praising the newcomer as if he didn't want money.

However, speaking in detail, this Xiao Jiedu envoy is indeed a stout tree.

I heard that the soup soup in Jibei Prefecture will last until the beginning of spring next year, after the first round of spring ploughing, and for more than a month before the arrival of the rice and grain escorted by the imperial court for the third time, it is this Xiao Jiedu envoy who is in charge of scheduling. Jibei and Jizhong suffered disasters, and the surrounding states and counties will naturally not be without impact, and Weizhou also rebelled, Xiao Yang is not easy from Jiludao, which has little food, of course, it is not that there is no food at all, but it can only last for half a month.

As for the remaining half a month, the Xiao family's own rice grain was in place, and the speed of arriving in Jibei was half a month faster than the relief grain of the imperial court.

Everyone sighed that it was good to enjoy the shade with their backs against the big trees, to have a good father, and then to have a good mother, what else is there to worry about?

A gust of cold wind hit, Shen Qiutan let out a white breath, perhaps, it was time for her to leave for the capital.

As early as after giving the account book to the Lord Xiao, she wanted to leave for the capital, she thought, the nurse with her younger brother must also be going to the capital.

But the road to the capital is not easy to walk, not to mention that Xiao Yang blocked the whole city after capturing Jiyang City, and then quelled the Weizhou Rebellion with lightning speed, and captured the rebel Guo Qi alive, I heard that Guo Qi is now on the way to the capital.

Until now, it is not so easy to go north alone. There is no car, no guide, even if there is an official road, but the official road also has a fork! What's more, in this day and age, winter walking itself increases the risk.

After waiting in line for a long time, it was finally his turn, Shen Qiutan thanked the little soldier who was giving porridge repeatedly, and then carefully squatted in the corner not far from the porridge shop with the porridge and drank it cherished.

The porridge has already cooled down, and the soup is thin, but after all, it is not easy to come by.

She drank very slowly, and while drinking, she was calculating how much food the Xiao family had filled in the past half month.

Speaking of which, there is still a suspicion that has been hanging over her head.

It stands to reason that with the planting scale of Jibei Prefecture, the surplus grain that was deposited last year should not last only half a year.

The crops in Jibei Prefecture are mainly wheat and millet, both of which are considered to be good to serve, and the yield is not low.

For more than a month, Shen Qiutan learned the language here and learned most of the past events of Jiyang City.

The drought lasted for half a year, and although it lasted far longer than other places, it was the local people's own grain stocks that were reliable.

After eating the small family's stored grain, he naturally wanted to eat the public's, but the public couldn't take it out, so in the end, he didn't even have to eat the roots and bark.

Shen Qiutan added the bottom of the bowl clean, but his brows did not loosen.

There is no food in the city, and my father is hungry, so where did the grain in Jiyang City go?
