Chapter 164: Man-made Disaster
Yun Xue naturally understands that if this ginseng is brought to the capital, it will be more than 5,000 taels, and maybe how much it can be sold for. But in this place, one thousand eight hundred taels is already Shen Shopkeeper looking at Shen Hongjun's face. If you can sell it for a thousand taels according to the price in the village, it is very good.
"Okay, then so be it, but it's still troublesome to shopkeeper Shen, we don't want a silver ticket." Yun Xue knew that this request was quite difficult. But in troubled times, it's better to have silver in your hands.
Shopkeeper Shen looked at Yun Xue and was a little embarrassed, "Miss Han, I can get 1,800 taels of silver here." However, you two siblings still have to go home, and it's too dangerous to go along the way. ”
Yun Xue thought about it, and it was right. I am afraid that the silver of 1,800 taels must be packed in a large box, and if half of the road is robbed, will it not cause trouble? But she didn't want a silver ticket. "This," Yun Xue didn't know what to do.
"Forget it, I'll go to the money village and exchange some gold for the girl, so that it can be safer." Shopkeeper Shen didn't dare to embarrass Yun Xue, and immediately called the guy in. "Shunzi, you take someone to the money bank and redeem one hundred and eighty taels of gold."
The guy was stunned, what kind of treasure did this girl send? It's time to settle the bill with gold. However, he was not the kind of person who inquired blindly, so he hurriedly did as the shopkeeper instructed.
The guy went out for more than half an hour before he came back out of breath. "Shopkeeper, this is one hundred and sixty-five taels of gold, and now the price of gold has risen, nearly ten percent higher than before." The two men put down the small box in their hands.
Shopkeeper Shen opened the box, and it was full of golden ingots, "Miss Han, this kind of thing, there is no way, now the prices of various items are high, alas." ”
Yun Xue also understands that in troubled times, many things are out of control. "Trouble Shopkeeper Shen, so be it, these are already very good." The antiques of the prosperous times, the gold of the troubled times, and thanks to the medicinal materials they sell, if they change to something else, I am afraid it will be even more worthless.
Yun Xue and Yun Zhen were about to go out carrying the box, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper Shen. "Girl, please wait. Now that it's so chaotic outside, if you go to stay, I'm afraid it's not safe. It's better to stay with me, there are a few rooms in this backyard, and sometimes they are reserved for the sick. The girl stayed here for one night, and hurried home as soon as possible tomorrow morning, and went out to find an inn in the province, I don't know the roots, what if I suffer again? ”
Yun Xue looked at the shopkeeper Shen and found that he was sincere, so she smiled and said, "Then it will be troublesome to the shopkeeper." She was also afraid, what about such gold, if people were to target her, she and Yun Zhen might not be able to deal with it.
"Junzi, go and lead Miss Han's oxcart to the backyard, get some forage to feed, and then go and clean up a room in the backyard so that Miss Han's sister and brother can live." Shopkeeper Shen hurriedly ordered. "Also, let the kitchen make something, it's not too early, Miss Han should eat and rest early, and hurry home early tomorrow morning."
Yun Xue saw that he had arranged it so properly, and couldn't help but nod and thank him, "Thank you Shopkeeper Shen, we are here to sell things, but we are going to trouble Shopkeeper Shen and the guys in the shop." ”
"Don't talk about this, the third prince has been instructed by a thousand times, let us take good care of the girl. This is what should be done. Please, girl. Shopkeeper Shen took Sister Yunxue and went to the backyard.
This night, the Yunxue sister and brother naturally lived in the backyard of Baicaotang, and the two sisters and brothers ate and soon fell asleep. But in front of Baicaotang, it still doesn't stop, and many people are lining up there to see the injuries and take medicine. Baicaotang was busy until midnight before it was settled.
Early the next morning, Yun Xue and Yun Zhen came out of Baicaotang and drove the ox cart back. The gates have not yet been opened, and many people are there. When the city gate opened, I found that a lot of people rushed in from Hula outside the city, and these people supported each other, and some even let others carry them, crying and calling for their mothers to enter the city.
Yun Xue looked back at these people, a little anxious in her heart, "Yun Zhen, we have to hurry home, I don't know what happened at home." ”
Yun Zhen raised his whip, and a crisp sound broke out in the air, and the ox cart hurriedly walked home. On the way, I also met some injured people one after another, Yun Xue was a little frightened, how many Gao Li people crossed the border? will cause such a big damage. The two sisters and brothers drove the ox cart, and they couldn't take a break on the way, so they rushed to Wudaogou Village in one go.
Before he could enter the village, he found that in the fields near the river, the corn stalks had fallen down, and many of the stalks were empty, and the corn cobs were gone. At a glance, I knew that this was broken by someone, and it was obviously done by Gao Liren.
When I entered the village, I heard many people crying and shouting, and some people scolding loudly. Yun Xue hurriedly asked, only to know that Gao Li really came over last night. A lot of corn was broken, and the patrol of the village met them, but they were no opponents, and they wounded two people.
"Yunxue, you're back, it's just right that our village is discussing, and a few more people will come out to patrol at night. We've worked hard for a year, but we can't be stolen by others at this time. Alas, the evil is done, and so is this court, so why don't you care? After Grandma Zhao saw Yun Xue, she hurriedly asked Yun Xue to go to Zhao's house as well, and everyone discussed things together.
Yun Xue looked at Yun Zhen, "Second brother, it's better for you to go, you are a man in our family, at this time, it should be you who come forward." "Yun Xue is slowly delegating power now, after all, Yun Zhen has to be in charge in the future, Yun Xue is not good at everything, it is good to be able to let Yun Zhen exercise more.
Yun Zhen nodded, "Okay, I'll go over, and the eldest sister will take the ox cart home." "There's still some gold in the car, so I'll have to take it home and hide it."
Yun Xue took the reins and drove the ox cart home. Yun Zhen went to Zhao's house, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that almost everyone in the village was in the courtyard of Zhao's house, and everyone was talking about crops.
"Village chief, I think let's just make up our minds, ten people come out to patrol every night, don't divide the first half of the night and the second half of the night, ten people together, you must not be separated. If something happens, we will ring the gong, and when the whole village will go out, we will have to protect our harvest. The man of the Zheng family said.
"Yes, what Brother Zheng said is that at this time, there is nearly a month before the autumn harvest, and we are working hard for this month, so we can save the crops. In addition, there is another thing, I am afraid that there is not much left of the crops on the roadside in the outermost way. Which family is this, waiting for the autumn harvest, our big guys will give a little food, even if it is a help. You can't just look at his family's food blindness, okay? The man of the Liu family also said.
The village chief waved his hand, "Forget it, that's my family's land, if you lose it, you can lose it, there's no way." Now that the family is in difficulty, there is no need to let you break the bank, as long as the big guys work together in the future and lose that little bit of food, it is nothing. "The Zhao family has a lot of land, and a lot of it is close to the roadside, which is also something that can't be helped. However, grain is the lifeblood of farmers, and when the village chief says so, his heart is also dripping blood.
When everyone saw the attitude of the village chief, they were very impressed, and the whole atmosphere was even better.
Village Chief Zhao said loudly, "Everyone, you can't just point at these patrols. Behold, he who has much land in his house shall pitch a hut on the land of every house, and watch it in it. Otherwise, if there is something, it will take a while to get from home to the field, and I am afraid that it will delay things. ”
When everyone heard this, they felt reasonable, "Okay, then it's decided, everyone, let's hurry home and prepare." The years are chaotic, and the court doesn't care, if we don't rely on ourselves, I'm afraid we won't even have a way to live. ”
So all the people dispersed, and went home, every man to prepare for the building of his tent. Yun Zhen stood next to him for a while, listening to what everyone said was very good, and there was nothing to talk about, so he hurried home and went to prepare for building a shack.
When Yun Zhen went home, Yun Xue had already hidden all the gold, and she was sorting out the medicinal herbs with Yun Ni at this time. Last night, thirty or forty people came to the village to grab food, and although they were later driven away, many people were injured in the village. Now that the big guys know that Yunni knows some medical skills, naturally they don't go to the doctor, they all come to Han's house and ask Yunni to help. Where could Yunni not care? So I bandaged everyone, and I was busy for a while before I finished it. At this time, I am sorting out the medicinal materials to see if there is anything missing.
Yun Zhen told everyone's decision, and everyone thought it was feasible.
"Okay, then that's it, let's start building a shack tomorrow, and then Tianfu and I will live in the ground, and Yunzhen will go on patrol. We've been working hard for a month, so we have to keep our food. Yun Xue sighed, now that the court doesn't care, only the people themselves have worked hard.
At this time, it was already dusk, Yun Xue and Yun Ni hurriedly cooked, and then everyone had dinner together, Yun Xue took Yun Zhen and Tianfu to go around the field for a while, chose a good location, and waited to come over to build a shack.
It was already dark, and after the three siblings finished reading it, they went home to rest. Regarding the sale of ginseng this time, Yun Xue did not tell her younger brothers how much money she sold. After all, they are all children, and if any of them don't say it strictly, it's a big deal. This amount of money is too large, and anyone who listens to it will be red-eyed.
It wasn't Yunzhen's turn to patrol today, so everyone went to bed early. In the middle of the day, there was a sudden commotion outside, and Yun Xue knew that something had happened again. Immediately get up, put on your clothes, grab the sticks at the door, and go out. Yun Zhen and Tianfu also came out. "Yunni, plug in the door, and no one will open the door." Saying that, the two of them also carried their own sticks and walked away with Yun Xue.
Rhubarb has also been at home for a while, heard the noise, and went out with Yunxue and them.
