Chapter 393: Finding a way out for the clansmen
"Yes! It's just sister-in-law, didn't your family stock up on water? ”
"Hoarded, but that was until there was really no water. It will not be moved unless it is absolutely necessary. Yuanniang, sister-in-law, thank you! ”
Li Yuan's house had already been emptied, and she took out the key from the space by means of her sleeve pocket.
"Sister-in-law, I see that the drought is getting worse and worse, and I don't know if there will be floods or anything next, haven't you thought about leaving here?"
Xiuniang's surname is Huang, so she shook her head when she heard this: "Our roots are here, it's just a drought and lack of water, maybe it will be fine in a few days." I've heard that there are some places where it hasn't rained for a year or two, and it's nothing. In the end, our side is in the south, where there is a lot of rain, and there is a big river, so it will not reach that point. But Yuanniang, you have a house in Fucheng, so it's okay to leave. When it's better to be here, it's the same when you come back. ”
Huang Xiuniang said, and asked with a serious face: "Yuanniang, are you going back to your mother's house now, or are you going to Fucheng?" If you go to Fucheng, then how will I return the key to you at that time? ”
"I've been staying at my mother's house for this time, and the day before I leave, I'll come to the county seat again, and then sister-in-law, you can return the key to me."
"That's it, I have to hurry up and stock up on more water when there is water."
"Hmmm! Sister-in-law, your embroidery work is good, and the family is not particularly short of money. If you can, I would recommend that you leave with your family. My brother Xie said before going to Fucheng to prepare for the township test that this year's year is abnormal, and maybe after this drought, it will continue to rain. My sister-in-law also knows my brother Xie's ability, since he said so, he should be sure, just like last year's snow disaster. You, serve more snacks. If there is nothing to do, we should spend money to buy peace. ”
Huang Xiuniang didn't think about it so much, but when she heard Li Yuan's words, she hesitated and asked, "Since that's the case, why don't you leave?" ”
"Cai Wei and Qing Sha have followed Brother Xie to Fucheng, and I stayed to take my grandmother and them away when the time comes. My sister-in-law also knows that my mother's family is in the countryside, and there is still food growing in the fields, and it will take a while for me to leave so soon. But fortunately, it is a drought-tolerant sweet potato, and it will be harvested early in a few days and left. ”
Huang Xiuniang was stunned for a moment, and then asked thoughtfully: "That Yuanniang, where do you think it is better if I leave?" My mother's family and my husband's family are here, and there are no relatives outside to go to. ”
"It's hard for me to say where it is, when I set up a noodle stall before, I heard those merchants who came and went that many places in our Xinyang Mansion are like this. Therefore, if you can, it is better for your sister-in-law to leave Xinyang Mansion. Of course, if you can be in Fucheng, after all, it is Fucheng, no matter how bad the situation is, it is better than in our county. I've heard before that Lord Xu said that it was chaotic outside, and that people should go together when they left, and let everyone go to distant relatives or something. ”
Wang Can, who had not spoken on the side, also spoke up: "Sister-in-law Huang, look, our Lord Xu is a county order." He is our parent official, if the people leave in large numbers for no reason, it is his dereliction of duty, and he will be questioned from above. But even so, he let everyone go. What do you think, what does that mean? Sister-in-law, you can understand if you think about the prosperity of our county before, and then look at what is happening outside the street now. ”
"Okay, I remember that. Yuanniang, you said that you would take your grandmother and them away when the time comes, so if we also want to leave, can we follow along? Also, when you leave, I think I'm ready to prepare if you can. ”
Wang Can didn't expect that the result of persuading people to leave would be that people wanted to leave with them.
There are more than 800 of them this time, and if you add Sister-in-law Huang's family, you will have to add several more people.
In case her husband's relatives and her mother's side also want to follow, wouldn't it cost nine hundred?
How can this be refused?
When Wang Can felt embarrassed, he heard Li Yuan reply: "Sister-in-law, I can't hide it, I want to bring not only my grandmother, but also people from my Li family this time." After they leave, they probably won't come back. The place I went to this time was the Luyang Mansion, that is, within the jurisdiction of the previous county commander Lord Chen. ”
When Sister-in-law Huang heard that it was Luyang Mansion, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
"So far, won't you come back?"
"Yes, the road guide was done before, and the whole clan walked. However, it was not just because of the disaster, but Brother Xie knew a big merchant from the capital, and he wanted to buy two mountains to open a tea garden outside Lanxia City in Luyang Mansion. He wanted to hire someone to do the work, and I wanted to find a way out for the clansmen, so he summed it up and decided to let the clansmen go there to make a living and learn a trade by the way. ”
"If it takes three or five years for the clansmen to learn how to grow tea, pick tea and roast tea, then they also want to open a tea garden or something in the future, which is also good. My sister-in-law should know that since ancient times, the salt and tea industries have been very profitable. It is impossible for us of the Li clan to be just an ordinary tea farmer, so it will take a little longer, so we want to simply settle down there. ”
As soon as Huang Xiuniang heard that it was Li Yuan who had found a way out for the clansmen, she ran so far, so she said, "Since this is the case, then forget it." But what you say, Yuanniang, I will sum it up. ”
"Good! In fact, my sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, just pay more attention to herself. It's best to leave first, if you can't, then pack up some softness, and you can walk at any time. Lord Xu is a good official, if the situation is really wrong, he should take everyone away. ”
"Good!"
This delay, by the time Li Yuan and Wang Can left Liuyun County, the time was already in the middle of the unitary hour.
At this time, although the sun is still very strong, it is a little better than before, at least it is on people, and it is no longer so hot.
It's just that after a day of exposure to the earth's air, the air is scorching.
Li Yuan drove the carriage, and when it was about five miles away from Lijiaao, she was replaced by Wang Can to rush, and she released the medicinal materials that had been prepared in the space.
The people in Li Jiaao all guessed that Li Yuan and Wang Can entered the city this time for medicinal materials.
So before the two of them returned to Lijiaao, they saw Li Qinghua and the elders of the Li family from a distance, waiting at the entrance of the village.
As soon as the carriage approached, I heard Li Qinghua ask: "Yuanniang, did you get the medicinal herbs back?" ”
"Well, I'll get it back when I give it back! It's all in the wagon, and each bag is marked. The medicines are all packets, including antipyretic, heatstroke, hemostasis, pain, diarrhea and so on. These medicines, when Dr. Liu comes over in a few days, Uncle Hua can let Dr. Liu check them. By the way, Uncle Hua, I also bought two 30-year-old ginsengs, just in case. ”
Li Yuan said, untied the purse around his waist, took out an oiled paper bag from it and handed it over.
When Li Qinghua heard the ginseng, he took it with trembling hands, and when he opened it and saw the complete ginseng inside, a big man suddenly burst into tears.
