Chapter 421: The Same Rice Feeds a Hundred People

When Li Yuan heard these nonsense words, she looked at her father and Li Qinghua.

The former bluntly said: "They can leave if they want to, and this kind of people with uneven hearts will not be good for us to take them on the road together." ”

The latter said: "Yuan Niang, they said they wanted to go back, but they would live in this cave first." How much ration do you have, can you get it if you take someone to Liufeng County now? We will go to the village and wait for you, and when you get the supplies, we will count them as them. ”

As he spoke, he changed his words: "If it's not enough, then let's do it first, let's directly convert the silver to them." Originally, when they helped deliver food, they confiscated any of their silver, so why should they toss because they want to follow and leave? Who pays for this round-trip journey? ”

Hearing this, Li Yuan replied directly: "Uncle Hua, my grain is only enough to compensate the two families if they cut down Baiyan and theirs." It's definitely not okay to just lose sweet potatoes, I mainly use rice. What they asked me to help transport away at the beginning should have been rough grain, and we will convert it back to them according to the price in the market before the disaster. ”

Li Qinghua and Old Man Li didn't want her to be involved in this unwarranted disaster, so they said: "Okay, then you go back and sort it out first, and I'll let people carry it." ”

Li Qinghua finished his words and looked at the people: "If you are sure that you want to separate, then you have to deal with it in our way." Now you have two choices, one, according to the previous records, the grain you asked Yuan Niang to help transport away, we will convert it into silver for you. ”

"Second, your rations will be converted into rice and returned to you. If there is a fault, as you said, we will borrow it from our people, and we will be able to repay it. But to sweet potatoes, sorry, no way! ”

Wang Erzhu and the others pursed their lips when they heard the words, and did not squeak.

They have so much ration that they can eat until the next year.

At this moment, what is the use of asking for silver, there is no place to buy it if you have money.

Besides, what's the use of changing to rice, you can buy two catties of coarse grains for one pound of rice.

It is equivalent to cutting their rations in half.

"No! We don't want silver, we want food, and we have to go with it. ”

Wang Erzhu's mother-in-law took the lead in making trouble: "His father, if you want to go back, go back by yourself, then let's split up now." I'm with my two sons, and you're on your own. The total amount of food in our family is counted as three, and you can just take one portion. I and my two sons obeyed the arrangement of the lieutenant. ”

"Yes, my mother is right! Dad, if you want to go back, just go back by yourself, anyway, we won't go back. It's a good day, but what's the toss? ”

The two families of the Li family, when they heard the situation on Wang Erzhu's side, also followed the family to make trouble.

In short, none of them wanted to go back.

If you don't go to Luyang Mansion with a bright future, you can stay and suffer hardships.

Furthermore, if you really want to leave, it means that you will be expelled at that time.

They were born as the Li family, and died as the ghosts of the Li family.

Where the Li clan is, they are there.

How much you can't think about it will be to break away from the clan, and you will be a rootless person in the future!

Those people were arguing and arguing, and they said that they were leaving because of the unfairness in the Li clan.

There are so many extra horses on Li Yuan's side, why should they use them for others, they don't have them, they can only walk on their feet all the time, which is unfair or something.

Li Qinghua didn't care how they quarreled, he went back to his carriage, took out the account book, household registration book and silver, and then asked people to go to Li Yuan's carriage to carry grain.

When they really got everything to the big cave, Zhang Cong and the others came.

"Shut up! This weather is still noisy, I think you are just full of food! ”

Zhang Cong's words are extremely deterrent.

After he scolded those who were noisy, he looked at Li Qinghua.

"Patriarch Li, what's going on?"

"Zhang Zhutou, these people saw that the county town was flooded, and they wanted to stay and go back with the county seat. No, they used to have food to let Yuanniang help transport it to Luyang Mansion first, and now they are shouting to ask Yuanniang to compensate here. ”

When Zhang Cong heard this, he immediately calmed down and reprimanded: "Nonsense! What is the situation out there, are you blind? Just you, what can you do when you go back? Let's go, give it all to me. If you don't want to leave, stay in this cave, and when the water recedes, you can go back if you still want to. ”

Wang Erzhu heard that Zhang Cong didn't mean to take them, so he said: "Zhang Zhutou, it's not that we did this on purpose. First, it is a long way to Luyang, and we have to walk on our feet, so when do we have to go? ”

As he spoke, he paused deliberately, and said in an accentuated tone: "The second is that there are so many carriages from Xiucai Niang, why don't we people with foreign surnames deserve it?" It's so unfair, how can we be good in Luyang at that time? If they had been willing to share a horse with our family, our cart would not have been swept away. ”

When the others heard this, they immediately chimed in.

"Yes, Erzhu is right! Zhang Zhutou, now that the rain is so heavy and the outside is flooded like that, even if you want to go back, you can't do it, so it's better to stay here with us. Among the people we left behind were high-yielding sweet potatoes, which were planted and sold when they were replanted, and it was all money. This disaster-stricken place should have been tax-free a few years ago, right? ”

"Yes, Zhang Zhutou, after the clansmen leave, the caves here will be empty, and when the time comes, we can live as much as we want, lying horizontally and vertically, which is better than crowding people everywhere now!"

"What's good, you guys really want to eat!"

Zhang Cong reprimanded them angrily, and turned to look at Li Qinghua: "Patriarch Li, the same rice raises a hundred kinds of people, and among your more than 800 people, there are everyone." Since they're leaving, be decisive. If you should decide, you will only cause trouble for yourself. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the people: "I don't care what you want to do when you stay, if you want to leave with me, it's impossible." It's hard for us to go back ourselves, let alone take you with us. ”

Li Qinghua was also very fast, and immediately converted the types and prices of grain in the record book, and then began to return them to the person who was clamoring to go back.

There was not enough rice, and while he borrowed it from his clansmen, he also made up some silver.

After these people asked Li Yuan to help transport the settlement, he looked at the family members who were unwilling to stay, and sighed in his heart.

"We'll leave early tomorrow morning, and you'll settle your own affairs. I'm going to stay today, and now we've settled the house with you, even if you want to leave with you. As Zhang Zhutou said, like rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, I am afraid that I will be a moth on the way back. I have to be responsible for my Li family, as well as the people with other surnames in Li Jia'ao and the in-laws who trust us. ”

Regardless of whether these people regret it or not, in short, when they make trouble, the cause has already been planted, and the fruit can only be tasted by themselves.
