Chapter 19: Natural and Man-made Disasters

Yang Zhengsong didn't plan to really go to the county bookstore to get the books and copy them back, although he made a lot of money, but he copied so many books at once, not only his heart was tired, but his hands were also tired, and it was not cost-effective.

He wanted to get some silver to cross the road before the drought came, so that he could have more food and help the people of his clan in the future.

How did they take stock at home, they still have a lot of things left, but some of the rice noodles are those polished rice noodles, which are very different from the color here, and they are not suitable for taking them out at all.

If you want to help your clansmen, you have to do it when you're safe.

There were actually quite a lot of silver tickets looted from those black-clothed people that day, and there were more than 20 taels of silver horns alone, and the two silver tickets wrapped in oiled paper, one was one hundred taels, and he didn't need this yet, but he wanted to disguise himself and change all those silver tickets into silver, and put them in the space so that it was safer.

After all, if there is a real change of dynasty, the first thing to be replaced is silver tickets and copper coins, and gold and silver will not change.

Anyway, they have a place to carry with them, and there will be no burden to change as much as they want.

However, with the serious business of copying books, I will go to the city more often in the future, and it will be easy to change some money.

Because of the low water level on the wharf, many large cargo ships can't get here, and there are fewer and fewer people waiting for work at the wharf every day.

The village chief simply asked them not to go, and let them follow Liu Dexin and Yang Xiuwen up the mountain together, how many things can be found, how many things can be touched, this kind of weather will not be bad if stored at home, and they have to prepare for the drought more or less.

There is also a need to go into the mountains to find a place to live temporarily, the amount of snow this year is too little, and the waterhole of the wild boar slope has dried up, and the old people in the village are worried one by one.

Ms. Lu Qingshang was also infected by this worried atmosphere, and was worried, but the little girl told them explosive news.

After eating last night, the family was sitting and chatting, and in the past few days, Yang Xiuwen and Yang Jinwen have followed the uncles and uncles in the village, running up and down the mountains all day long, and everything they can eat has been almost pulled by them.

Yang Xiuwen wanted to take them with him, but he found the place in the hot spring, but when the big guys heard that it was there, they all shook their heads and waved their hands, not daring to go over.

There are tigers there, and everyone in the village knows that when the old hunter took his son to hunt, his son was bitten to death by a tiger, and after so many years, who knows how many tigers there are? It's not worth it to take your life for a little bit of knowing.

Yang Zhengsong's family thought it was just a drought, but they never wanted to look at them like this, and wanted to find a temporary place to live here, Yang Yuqing could only say the reason why they had to leave here.

"Second brother, let's find a time to take the village chief and uncle to dig out all the sweet potatoes in the valley! Those can't be kept, you must know that the book says that the whole village has gone out to flee, not just because of the drought, but for another reason.

The place where they are now belongs to Song County, Song County is the jurisdiction of Ping Province, this place is the fief of King Yu, the fifth son of the current Shengshang, who is already old, and nine of the ten sons are already adults, and the old emperor still refuses to set up a prince, because he likes his son to be the youngest fifteenth prince, and the current fifteenth prince is not the youngest son born to the queen, but the illegitimate son secretly replaced by the old emperor.

The Hou Ye we saw that day was the brother of this illegitimate son, because of their mother's relationship, this little Hou Ye was in the Hou Mansion, and it can be said that he walked sideways, because the emperor would support him, and even his father and the old Hou Ye didn't dare to do anything to him?

And the real fifteenth prince suffered a lot in the Hou Mansion and almost died in the lotus pond of the Hou Mansion. If it weren't for his own brother, the eldest prince King Chu, who passed by when he went to a banquet and saved his life, he would not have lived to adulthood at all.

However, the emperor's favorite woman, afraid that the two brothers would recognize each other, directly sent the fifteenth prince, who was still sick, to a remote Zhuangzi, and no one gave him.

Later, it was rumored that the second son of the old marquis died of illness, but the villain at the end of the book is this prince.

Just around this year's Qingming Festival, King Yu will rebel, trying to seize the throne when the old emperor is old, this battle is six years, in these six years, the most bitter is the people of King Yu's fiefdom, drought year after year, coupled with heavier and heavier taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so that the people are not able to make a living, and countless people starve to death on the road. Yang Yuqing has not experienced those pains, and the descriptions in the book are still pale.

"I don't know if it's too late to leave now, and if I have to drag my family to another prince's fiefdom, people won't necessarily accept it, and there are people in such a big village, where can they just leave?" Yang Zhengsong was a little worried, you know, the ancient fiefdom management system was still quite strict, and it was not so simple to stay in a different place.

But when I think of natural disasters and man-made disasters, you can imagine how sad those days were.

"Dad, aren't there still those men in black who are buried near the cave? We can use those people to make a fuss and tell the village chief and the patriarch that those news came from the mouths of these men in black, both of them are already so old, they must know how to choose, let's wait for them to make a decision. Yang Jinwen felt that in fact, that valley was really good, and it was larger than their village.

And if they live in it and don't have to pay taxes on what they grow, will these villagers be able to live better? It's only been six years, and it's okay to come out again when the war outside is over.

And if you rebel, you must also draw strong men among these people, and their brothers are just the right age.

That night, Yang Zhengsong took his two sons to the village chief's house secretly, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the village chief and his son also followed the three of them to the patriarch's house.

The old patriarch was also frightened when he heard that he was smoking a strong man, but he still decided to go and see the man in black that Yang Zhengsong and they were talking about.

Early the next morning, while asking people to go to the city to call his son and grandson back, he took a few strong young men in the village into the mountain together, and Yang Xiuwen also took the village chief and the old patriarch to see the valley they found.

This place is very secretive, and it is also a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but since you want to escape from the world, you have to ensure that the people who follow you can work together, like their current situation, if someone reports it, then the whole clan will be destroyed.
