183 The war began
Shen Shuangshuang glanced at Aunt Wang.
"What's the situation with Liu Cui?" Asked.
Li Erya will marry a widower Wang, which she guessed the last time she heard the gossip.
After those things, Liu Cui is no longer the stupid person he was before.
She is smart and vicious, how could she be led by the nose by the Li family?
In addition, the Li family did not feel sorry for the girl in the family, and in the end it was only Li Erya who was sacrificed.
"She's already in touch with her mother's family."
"Someone from her mother's house took her back yesterday."
"Can the Li family agree?" Shen Shuangshuang asked.
"Where can you agree?"
"But Li Dalang's people are gone, and the previous child of the Liu family was tortured by the Zhang family, it is reasonable for the Liu family to take people back, where can the Li family stop it?"
"I heard that five or six men came to the Liu family yesterday. Li Lao Er and Li Lao San were almost overturned by that group of people. Speaking of this, Aunt Wang couldn't help laughing.
Shen Shuangshuang was also amused.
After a while, I thought of something and asked again, "What about Li Sanya?" β
"I heard before that the Li family wants to marry Li Sanya too."
"Not really!" An expression of hatred appeared on Aunt Wang's face.
"I'm still letting the matchmaker look at it."
"They say they look at each other, but they only choose the one with the highest bride price."
"The bride price is high, and you can look down on the Li family, who can it be?"
Shen Shuangshuang said in his heart: Sure enough.
I didn't continue to ask about the Li family.
"A few days ago, I heard Uncle Wu mention, auntie, are you going to send Xiaobao to Mengxue?" He turned to Aunt Wang and asked.
Aunt Wang was stunned for a moment, and quickly nodded.
"Hmm!"
"Our whole family can't read a single word, and we think that at least one in the family can write and calculate."
"I don't want Xiaobao to be able to take the examination or anything in the future, don't be blind like us."
The example of the Li family is there, he has been studying for so many years, and his family has become poor.
Where is the imperial examination so easy to take? It is enough to be able to read and do arithmetic.
Of course, if his Xiaobao has that talent, they will also give it.
"In the past, my family was poor and didn't dare to have such thoughts. But now, hehe, thanks to you, let all of us enter the workshop. My family's life is so much better than before! β
Yes, not long after the workshop implemented piecework wages, Wang Dabao applied to be transferred back to the workshop.
After Shen Shuangshuang weighed it, he recruited someone from the town to replace Wang Dabao to look after the store, and let Wang Dabao also enter the workshop.
After Wang Dabao entered the workshop, he did not do the work of ordinary workers, but engaged in transportation work. Transporting things back and forth between the town and the workshops of Dahe Village.
Because I need to load and unload goods, I bring some manual work, even if I don't work overtime, my daily salary is 100 yuan.
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
"Well, Xiaobao's age, he can indeed go to school. Is there a favorite kind of Mongolian learning? β
"Not yet? I thought about asking Dabao to take the time to ask people when he went to town. β
"By the way, does the owner know where Mengxue is less shackled?" Aunt Wang asked.
It costs money to study, even if the family is more comfortable now, you have to save it.
Besides, her eldest son will soon have a wife.
Shen Shuangshuang paused.
When she sent her son to the academy, she only heard Su Yuyan mention that Nanshan Academy wanted to open a Mongolian school, so she sent her son there wholeheartedly, and she really didn't inquire about other Mongolian schools.
"This ...... I haven't inquired. β
Aunt Wang looked disappointed.
"It's fine. I'll just ask Dabao to ask. β
Shen Shuangshuang nodded.
After chatting with Aunt Wang for a few more words, he let Aunt Wang leave.
In the afternoon, Shen Shuangshuang went to the academy to pick up his son.
By the way, he mentioned to Li Ling that Aunt Wang was going to send Wang Xiaobao to Mengxue.
"Great! Brother Xiaobao is also going to school in Mongolia! When the little doll heard this, her eyes lit up.
"Hmm."
"However, your little brother has no foundation at all, so I'm afraid that I won't be able to go to Nanshan Academy."
Disappointment flashed in the little doll's eyes again.
Shen Shuangshuang reached out and touched his son's head.
"Does Ling'er know about other Mengxue in the town?" When asked, Shen Shuangshuang regretted it.
My son is still so young, it's strange to know.
Sure enough, when he looked down, Shen Shuangshuang saw his son shaking his head at him.
"It's fine. Ming'er Niang asked people to inquire. Shen Shuangshuang said.
"Oh."
When the mother and son returned home, Li Ling obediently went to do his homework.
Shen Shuangshuang went back to the room, hid in the space, and cleaned up the peppers, peppercorns and peppers he had recently harvested.
It wasn't until it was dark that Shen Shuangshuang lit the lamp that he heard movement outside and her mother-in-law came back.
Leaving the work in hand, Shen Shuangshuang went to pick up Shen.
"Say goodbye, don't wait for me. Let's get to dinner. As soon as Shen Shuangshuang saw Shen, he listened to her instructions to Mama Zheng.
"Mother-" Shen Shuangshuang shouted and stepped forward.
Shen saw his daughter-in-law and his good grandson not far away, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
Let the daughter-in-law come over, hold herself, and lead herself to the hall.
"Don't wait for me next time. Just ask the kitchen to leave me some food to heat up on the stove. Shen said.
"It's okay, you need to be back before dark." Shen Shuangshuang replied with a smile.
Shen sighed.
"Don't wait for me."
"Yin Gongzi sent someone to deliver the message, the Liao State has invaded the border, and the war has started."
"There are the most knife wounds and arrow wounds on the battlefield, and there is a great demand for hemostasis."
"If the war continues, I'm afraid that the batch of hemostatic disperses we prepared earlier won't last long."
Shen Shuangshuang frowned.
"Yin Gongzi's sideβ"
Shen nodded at Shen.
"Well, I sent another batch of medicinal herbs."
"In addition, I also took some money and asked the Rejuvenation Hall to help purchase some medicinal materials."
Shen Shi looked ahead and sighed again.
"Not only medicinal materials, but also the people sent by Gongzi Yin said that the army is also a little short of food and grass."
"The imperial court didn't distribute military rations and medicines?" Shen Shuangshuang frowned.
"It's done. But last year, the year was not good, and several counties in the south of the Yangtze River were affected. The imperial court provided disaster relief, and a lot of silver was sent out by the household department. β
"It's spent over there, and there is less for the border guards."
"The prince now has 20,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, even if each person eats one steamed bun per meal, he has to eat 20,000 at one meal. The little food and salary issued by the imperial court was not enough. β
Shen Shuangshuang's heart sank.
Suddenly, I felt that it might not be a good thing for Murong Zhan to be crowned the king of war.
The imperial court was short of food, and the army could not afford not to eat, so he had to command the people below, so he could only subsidize it by himself.
What about 20,000? Every day, I have to eat a lot of food.
This is only food, clothing, military salaries, pension money, etc.
Since the imperial court can be short in terms of food and salary, there must be other shortages.
Before, she thought that Murong Zhan and Yin Song were rich, but now she ......
"With Yin Gongzi here, the problem will be solved." Shen Shuangshuang comforted.
Shen sighed.
"Hmm." Finally, I stopped talking about it.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law entered the hall, and Li Ling soon entered the house.
