Chapter 45: Chaos Grows Panic

The He family is an authentic farmer, and the people are not in the capital, except for a few relatives who are not close or far away, and they have no contact with the imperial court.

By November, there was a faint rumor that Emperor Shun had collapsed.

Soon, as if to confirm this news, the county town was replaced with sackcloth mourning flags, with a bright yellow notice, which was very scornful.

Emperor Heshun collapsed, and the six-year-old fifth prince Wu Xuan was enthroned Fengtai, and even Wang Wu Yiguang was an auxiliary country. In December of the same year, Emperor Heshun's crown prince Wu Xuan, with the support of the general Jiang Qing, raised troops in Weizhou to rebel.

When these news came over a long distance, I didn't know how many people had passed through the road, and they were always a little false in the truth, and there was truth in the false, and I didn't know how to tell the difference for a long time. Not only the He family, but the entire county seat and the entire county government are filled with a kind of panic and anxiety that I don't know if there will be a tomorrow, and even the most lively street is usually a little lonely and desolate when I walk up.

At such a time, Long Yue'er gave birth to a daughter almost quietly, and Master He, who had always loved her like an eyeball, only came to see it in a hurry, and hastily named her Ruyu, and there was no further expression. However, Chen Shuangchuan has seen it several times, and thinks that this is as white and tender as jade, and he really likes it, but because of this, his relationship with Long Yue'er has improved a lot, and he can slowly say some words.

It's been a bleak year.

The rent was collected safely, but most of the roads were impassable, either occupied by the army here or dominated by the army there, and the grain of the He family was piled up in the warehouse, and it was almost a mountain. The millet can't be sold, it can't be exchanged for cash, and the prices in the county are rising again and again, even the He family is a little unbearable, so they have to reduce the cost, and this year's share is much thinner than in previous years.

The family didn't have enough money, so Mrs. He moved her mind and discussed with Master He: "Why don't we go to the county town to sell it, I heard that the price of grain is soaring now." ”

The He family is a big landlord in this area, and there is a large amount of millet income every year, and in ordinary days, there are naturally special merchants to collect it, although the price is cheaper than the one on the market, but those merchants are intertwined with the government and have a little connection, and there is always some backstage. Therefore, in order to save trouble, the He family's grain is basically not sold out.

It's just that this rebellion is all messy everywhere, and the people who have come to collect grain have not yet come after the New Year, and the grain in the county town is about to go crazy, so Mrs. He has such thoughts.

Master He also thinks that this method is feasible, and at this time, the bureau may not know what kind of chaos will become, so it is better to change more money and exchange some yellow and white things to defend himself.

When the grain began to be loaded, He Jinfu hurriedly ran over when he heard the news, saying that the grain must not be sold.

is similar to what He Jinfu expected before, when the fifth prince ascended the throne, the Sima family finally expressed their attitude, supported the crown prince Wu brand, and began to recruit troops. Most of the grain and grass in Jiangzhou was purchased by the Sima family, and the road was chaotic, and other merchants could not enter, so the grain and grass in the county town rose again and again, and the Sima family also attributed the sin of the people's poor livelihood to the head of King Lian, and vigorously built momentum for the prince.

In the nearby village, the He family is naturally a big family, but in the whole country, it will not be the turn at all, and it will not be looked at by the Sima family.

This son has always been promising, and he has seen a lot outside, so he finally persuaded the two elders of the He family not to sell grain, and unloaded the car depressedly. ”

"It's always life that matters, and when things calm down, it's not the same thing that can be sold." He Jinfu persuaded with kind words.

Mrs. He thought about it, and hurriedly supported someone to carry the grain in again, afraid that what she said to He Jinfu would make others red-eyed, and she said cruel words, and no one was allowed to say anything about the food at home, and whoever said it would break someone's dog's leg.

A few days later, Long Yue'er received a letter from home, the world is not good, her uncle's Longyuan Building also closed early, originally wanted to go to the county to find a buyer, on the road I don't know which way with the army collided, although Uncle Long Yue'er saved his life and came back, but was frightened, and the road was not well adjusted, as soon as he went home, he fell ill in bed, and he was seriously ill day by day, and he was afraid that it was not good, so he quickly entrusted the letter and let Long Yue'er's house go.

Long Yue'er has always been close to this uncle, so naturally she cried sadly, and hurriedly packed her package. It's just that looking at He Ruyu, Long Yue'er is in a dilemma, Long Yue'er's family is in the west of Jiangzhou, and she has to pass through a whole county, and the road is far and not easy to walk, He Ruyu is just a few months old, so she naturally can't bear it.

Without a daughter, Long Yue'er relied on Master He's favor, and she had done a little too much before, and offended Mrs. He ruthlessly, afraid that she would take the opportunity to embarrass her.

It's just that the uncle didn't wait for anyone, Long Yue'er could only hug He Ruyu and cry for a while, but she still had to get into the car.

Long Yue'er left, just like a kite with a broken line, there was no trace anymore, Master He also sent someone to Long's house to inquire in distress, and he didn't see Long Yue'er come back there, just heard that there were some idle stragglers passing by here, after a long time, even Master He was a little dead, this Long Yue'er was afraid that he was murdered by these stragglers.

As soon as the world is in chaos, people's hearts will also be in chaos, and the Sima family is also recruiting, so some young adults in this neighborhood have some thoughts, just wear armor, and get a pony to feel that they can revolt and quell the chaos. It's just that after all, most of them are just beautiful on their lips, but secretly they are trying to fish in troubled waters, not only do they not work hard in serious places, but they rely on the momentum to do evil everywhere.

There are many complaints, and the people are not happy, but the new king and the new policy, the original county lord has been removed, and no one can manage it if he wants to.

For this kind of thing in the court, Chen Shiyou honestly can't understand, so he rarely thinks about it, in his opinion, no matter who becomes the emperor, the salt still has to be dried, and the monthly salt tax still has to be paid, so he still works hard and dries his salt, and when it comes to the day of salt payment, he still gets up early in the morning and carries the burden into the city.

Compared with a few months ago, there are almost half fewer people who also go to the city to pay salt, Chen Shiyou looked at it worriedly, and said worriedly: "Why are there so many people suddenly missing, what if you are fined?" ”
