Mr. Situ and Mai Xiaoji went back to Dongsheng Town together, in fact, Mr. Don't come back and tell Ji Rongjin that she also guessed a big difference, she was not nervous and afraid, the main thing was to inquire clearly to make the residents of Dongsheng Town feel at ease, so that they could continue to go up the mountain to pick blueberries, only when they received a large number of blueberries, could they start business.

I never thought that Mr. would not return to Linchun County for the time being, "Could it be that the king of Liaodong is in Linchun?" ”

"You guessed it right." Mr. Situ was lying under the porch blowing the wind, leisurely and comfortable.

"Does the gentleman think he will come to Dongsheng?" Ji Rongjin was a little worried.

Mr. Situ said, "The conditions in Linchun County are good, and it is closer to the garrison, so logically speaking, there should be no special things to come." ”

"Oh!" Mr.'s comfort did not reassure Ji Rongjin, but things are already like this, and he can only take one step at a time.

Mr. Situ had traveled to the capital, and he was literate, and Wu Tingchang respected him very much, and heard that he had returned from Linchun County, and came to him to inquire about the garrison on the mountain in the south.

As the head of a town, he knew that the time of the news was not earlier than Mr. Situ, "What can be done, if you don't come, Dongsheng Town is like a forgotten village by the world, and it is rare to receive an official letter from above." ”

"Don't worry, let the residents do what they want." Situ chatted with him and comforted him.

"Before I came, I just received the official letter, and I told them." Chief Wu Tingchang was still worried, "I'm afraid that these soldiers will come and disturb the lives of the residents!" ”

He was complaining to someone, and there was an eleven or twelve-year-old boy running over, "Grandpa...... Grandfather...... Dozens of middle-aged men from the south are coming towards us. ”

Wu Tingchang was so frightened that Huo stood up, and his face changed, "What should I do...... What to do...... They must have been a lot worse when they first moved in, and they must have come to grab something. ”

His legs trembled and he was about to ask the residents to close the door and lock it, but Ji Rongjin grabbed him, "Old Pavilion Chief, don't panic." ”

"Don't panic, they're going to come and grab something soon."

The old man in his fifties, like a frightened bird, made people unbearable, Ji Rongjin comforted: "They are going to stay here for a long time, and now they have just arrived, they shouldn't grab it as soon as they come up, it is estimated that they are here to buy it." ”

"Really?" The old pavilion chief didn't believe it.

You can't blame the old pavilion chief for not believing it, it has been like this since ancient times, even if it is a soldier to protect the family and defend the country, they still have to rob the people's food and property when they have no food or drink.

Since His Royal Highness King Qi was demoted to the king of Liaodong by the new emperor in April, Qiao Qingyu expected that there would be this day, fighting in the south and west, he had never seen anything, he guessed that Yidong was poor, but he didn't expect it to be poorer than he imagined.

Let's talk about Linfu City first, a large county is not even as good as a county seat in Gyeonggi, not to mention Linchun County, it is a small town at best in the south.

"General, I heard that this is a small town to the north."

"it, what a town." Qiao Qingyu looked ahead, "In our hometown, it's a big village. ”

At a glance, the low house in the middle of winter was dusty, as if it had been smoked, old and dilapidated, "If it weren't for the short food, Lao Tzu wouldn't want to come." ”

A group of more than a dozen people with knives and bows, stepping on their feet, the sound is quite loud, in normal times, it will definitely attract a crowd of onlookers, but today, there is no one at the entrance of Dongsheng Town.

"General, didn't the townspeople see us?"

Qiao Qingyu also wondered, "Don't worry about it for now, hurry up and find food." ”

"Yes, General."

At the entrance of the village, Wu Zhibo, the eldest grandson of Wu Tingchang, saw more than a dozen strong men about to arrive in front of him, and a cat turned around, and even ran and shouted, "They are coming, they are coming, they are coming, ......they are coming."

Wu Tingchang's hands trembled with fright, and the scene of robbing the strong man five years ago was still often shocked in a dream, "Ji ......"

Ji Rongjin patted Wu Tingchang on the shoulder, "Believe me, they must have come to buy food." ”

"If you rob ...... Rob...... What to do? ”

"No, it won't." Ji Rongjin had just comforted Pavilion Chief Wu, and when he raised his eyes, he saw an acquaintance, and he subconsciously wanted to hide, but when she saw the old pavilion chief who was trembling, she hesitated.

This hesitation made Qiao Qingyu see her.

There are very few counties and villages within a radius of 100 miles, and she can't hide in the city like in the capital, she should still come, this ...... Maybe it's fate.

"Ji Niangzi?" Qiao Qingyu was so surprised that he almost popped out his eyes, "You're not dead?" ”

"You want me dead?" Ji Rongjin gave him a big look.

The man who was like an iron tower realized that he had said something wrong, and his face turned red: "Ji ...... Ji Niangzi ......"

"Say, what are you doing?"

Wu Tingchang, who was so frightened that his face turned blue, found that the fierce and vicious strong man was like a child who made a mistake in front of Ji Niangzi, why did things change like this?

For some reason, Wu Tingchang remembered a dream he had on the first night when Ji Niangzi came to Dongsheng, and dreamed that a golden phoenix had fallen on Fenggu Mountain, and the golden phoenix had wings, and their village was flooded with gold ingots.

Qiao Qingyu felt heavy: "There is not much food, come and buy food." ”

Ji Rongjin sneered: "In the entire Dongsheng Town, there are only a thousand men, women, and children, how much food can be provided to you." ”

"That'...... So what to do? Qiao Qingyu used to be Ji Rongjin's follower, knowing her ability, he threw the problem to her without thinking about it.

The army has only been stationed for a week, and there is not much food, Yan Tao is pitiful enough to be degraded and oppressed by his brother!

It's July now, the first crop of rice has been harvested in the south of Yuedi, and the winter wheat in Wudi has also been harvested.

The questions she could think of, Yan Tao and his staff must have thought of it too, so did they do it?

Ji Rongjin pulled Qiao Qingyu aside and asked what he thought.

Qiao Qingyu didn't know much about confidential matters, "Your Highness wants me to last for half a month, I don't know anything else, but I think the food can last for five days at most." ”

Half a month? Five days?

Ji Rongjin's eyebrows moved, "If I help you last for fifteen days, how will you repay me?" ”

Qiao Qingyu is convinced of Ji Rongjin's ability: "Let me be a cow and a horse." ”

"No, I don't." Ji Rongjin said, "However, I need you to help me with two things." ”

"What?" Qiao Qingyu was worried that he couldn't do it.

"Don't worry, it's not difficult."

"......" That's good.

"First, don't let Your Highness know that I'm still alive."

"......" is so difficult. Qiao Qingyu's brain can pick up flies.

"Can't do it? That ......"

"No, no, it can be done." As long as he keeps his mouth shut, he should be able to hide it.

"The second point...... Ji Rongjin felt that the opportunity to make a lot of money had come.

Yan Tao didn't stop at Lin Chun's station for a few days, and hurriedly returned to the prefecture and county to secretly mobilize people to go to Jiangnan to purchase grain, "Be fast, after fifteen days, people will starve to death if the food is not enough." ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Ping'an is the steward of Yan Tao's side who is in charge of general affairs, and he is one of the four major stewards, he turned around, and with the heavy instructions of His Royal Highness, he flew pigeons and passed the book, and at the same time took people to go to Jiangnan in an urgent manner for 800 miles.

Seeing that half a month has passed, whether it is in the north or south, there is no news, and when he took a nap, Yan Tao woke up, "Kangtai ......"

"Your Highness......" Kang Tai came in with herbal tea.

Yan Tao waved his hand, "Is there any news from Ping'an?" ”
