Chapter 95: Food reminder
“Brother Fang Mu, all the food in my family has been burned by this fire. If there is no food, my whole family will starve to death.”
“ My family’s food was also burned, and I really can’t survive.”
In front of Fang Yue’s house,
two villagers knelt on the ground, crying bitterly, and kept begging Fang. Wood help.
Behind them, there are their wives and children, who are very thin, with tattered clothes, sallow faces and dull eyes.
It was these two families that were on fire and smoking in the village just now.
There was a fire in the house, and there was not much water at all. The small fire quickly spread into a large fire, and the house was burned down. Naturally, all the food stored in the house was burned.
What could be more unlucky than encountering this kind of thing.
Now that we are on our last legs, our family has encountered this kind of thing again. If no one can help us, we will really not be able to live this life.
Now the only people in the village who can get food are the Liu Ju family and the Fang Yue family.
Because they are from the same clan, they came to seek help from the Fang family.
Fang Mu sighed after seeing it.
I asked Fang Cheng to move two bags of grain, which weighed almost a hundred catties, and gave them to these two people to take back.
With this matter settled, the crowd outside Fang's house quickly dispersed.
Back home, in my yard.
Mr. Chen suddenly said:
“Hey, boss, tell me, should we really move to the city?”
It turns out that the person outside the door just now Naturally, she watched the incident from beginning to end, noting how difficult the lives of these villagers were now.
Nowadays, the villagers in Daliushu Village and the tenants of her family are all sallow-looking and skinny.
Life was very difficult, and it was difficult to have enough to eat.
The day before yesterday in the ancestral hall, she noticed that when the idle men said the words "get your food back", many people present had their eyes twinkling.
Today, her family took out two bags of grain. Among the onlookers, some looked at the grain with a burning look in their eyes that could not be concealed at all.
Ms. Chen was unwilling to go to the city before, because she couldn't bear to part with the wealth that her family had accumulated over the years.
Today, I made up my mind.
We can no longer listen to She'er's words. Their family has to go to the city.
Otherwise, if we really have to wait until these people are too hungry to do anything, who can say clearly what will happen then.
~~~~~~
But at this moment.
On the road leading to Daliushu Village, a middle-aged man wearing a pale blue star-patterned robe was carrying a big gourd on his back and a ruler hanging from his waist.
His steps are not big, but his walking speed is extremely fast, which is no worse than that of an ordinary galloping horse.
“Hey, the water veins in a land are cut off. This is such a big deal. I, a little seven-star inspector, have no virtue and ability to handle such a big deal.”
“Those government troops are also incompetent. They have been for several years. We can't even suppress that group of rebels who rely on 'beast blood'! If we had been willing to do this two years ago, we wouldn't have let those guys cut off the Shanyang River!"
It turns out that this middle-aged man is Da Wei! Hui Hengli, a seven-star inspector of the Si Tianjian of the dynasty.
The Great Wei Si Tianjian is a very special department in the Great Wei Dynasty.
Unlike ordinary civil and military officials, Si Tianjian did not interfere in political affairs and was only responsible to the Emperor of Wei.
The status is transcendent. Although this person is only the supervisor of Qixing, his status is far higher than that of the county magistrate in Xiahe County.
From what this person said, Shanyang Mansion has been extremely short of water in recent years, and it is actually because the water veins in Shanyang Mansion have been cut off!
"The village in front should be the last pulse point. After solving this, the only one left is the one in Moshan."
"But that has nothing to do with me. , it depends on whether the master of Shanyang Mansion is willing to bleed.”
Fei Hengli had a sneer on his face, as if he looked down upon the Master of Shanyang Palace he was talking about.
The head of the Shanyang Mansion, the land of two capitals and thirteen state offices in the Wei Dynasty, was the real official of the frontier.
Which of these characters is not superior to Qi, and which one is not a true martial arts expert.
If they were willing to take action, the rebels on Mo Mountain would have been taken away from them long ago.
I won’t let it exist for so long.
In the end, the water veins of Shanyang Mansion were cut off by these rebellious people using secret methods, resulting in chaos everywhere in Shanyang Mansion.
The fighting between dragons and snakes, if this continues, will breed chaos.
Hen Hengli sighed, and then walked towards Daliushu Village.
~~~~~~
“She’er, She’er, Mom has something to say to you.”
Before anyone arrived, Fang Yue heard his mother Chen's voice coming from outside the yard.
“Hey, wait, I’ll come out.”
Fang Yue had just recovered and saw the smoke in the village, so he knew something was wrong.
Just now, he also went to the gate and witnessed what happened.
"She'er, you say, why don't we just listen to your father and move to Xiahe County."
"There were thieves at our door yesterday. I'm afraid there will be more people who don't have enough to eat in the future. How many people will be targeting our house by then."
Across the door, Mrs. Chen said as she has since ancient times. .
It’s not that I want to understand this truth, but I just feel reluctant to part with the family business.
"Mom, it's the same in Xiahe County. There's no one to protect you. It's the same everywhere."
With a creak, the door opened, and Fang Yue changed into a short undershirt and walked out. .
"At least, at least there are still government offices there, and the yamen should be more harmonious."
Ms. Chen said hesitantly, and the next moment he saw the short clothes Fang Yue was wearing, with his arms exposed.
"Xie'er, put on your coat quickly. Your injury is not healed yet and your body is weak. How can you wear such thin clothes? "Xie'er, Xie'er, are you okay? Have you stood up?!!!"
As he spoke, Chen finally reacted.
She covered her mouth with her hands and her eyes turned red instantly.
"Xie'er, you are finally fine."
The next moment, Mrs. Chen hugged Fang Yue and beat Fang Yue's shoulders a few times while crying.
"Mom, I'm fine."
Fang Yue patted Mrs. Chen gently, such is the family affection that blood is thicker than water.
~~~~~~
Fang is getting better and better,
Fang’s family soon knew about it, and the haze that had enveloped everyone in the Fang family was swept away at this moment.
Not to mention the lanterns and festoons, but there were also firecrackers.
Moreover, Chen also wanted to cross the brazier to get rid of bad luck and disease.
At noon, Mrs. Chen, Fang Cheng’s wife, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together to prepare a large table of sumptuous meals.
During the banquet.
“Here, Brother Zhi, eat.”
Fang Yue gave Fang Yue the chicken legs. His brother got better, and Fang Cheng was also very happy.
"Brother, if you don't pick up food for your sister-in-law, be careful that your sister-in-law ignores you."
Fang Yue did not refuse, but instead teased his elder brother.
Immediately, Fang Chengcheng hurried to see his wife sitting next to him.
It's just that his wife is holding the child at this time, so she won't pay attention to him.
Fang Cheng also hurriedly picked up vegetables for his wife.
This scene actually put more smiles on the faces of the family. This year Fang Yue recovered from his injuries and the Fang family also had a new family, which was even better.
Immediately,
Fang Yue took a mouthful of bean sprouts, took a bite, and immediately said:
"Mom, these bean sprouts are battered with egg, then deep-fried, with shredded chicken and chili peppers." Stir-fry, it’s my mother, this dish looks simple, but it’s delicious.”
Fang Yue easily told Chen’s cooking method and praised Chen in different ways.
The meal will be ready soon.
The family is in the main hall.
"Xie'er, you are fine now, but you just can't let people outside know that you are fine." Father Fang said.
“Well done to you, Fang Mu, it’s really a piece of wood. My pig is healed. This is a big happy event. Why can’t we let outsiders know about it? If we don’t tell them, we’ll let those crooked melons fall apart. Did Zao still call him "Little Cripple"?
Ms. Chen immediately pinched Fang Mu's ears.
Although Fang Yue was from Wuju, he was also a big landowner in Daliushu Village.
Many people from the same clan in the village are tenants of the Fang family.
But among these people, there are also some who are gloomy. On the surface, they dare not say anything, but secretly they say that their pig is a little cripple.
How can Chen not be sad and angry?
Now that Fang is getting better, how could he not let everyone know about it?
Let’s see who dares to talk behind my back.
"Fuck, fuck, it hurts, let go." Fang Mu grinned in pain and begged for mercy for a long time before breaking free.
“I am doing this for the good of Xie’er. Tell me, if the government knows that Xie’er is well, what will happen if Xie’er is sent to fight?”
Prefectural government, county government recruits and mobilizes troops It took so long to raise people and recruit many strong men to attack the Moshan tribe.
Even people as far away as Daliushu Village have heard a lot of true and false news.
Besides, the last time my pig was injured was at the hands of a Moshan tribe rioter.
Fang Mu still dared to let Fang Yue fight.
If the news of Fang Yue's recovery spreads, there is no guarantee that he will not be dragged into the war.
When the time comes, what will happen if I get hurt again?
“Ah, Shi’er, your father is right, hurry up, hurry up, Fang Cheng, why don’t you go and move the wheelchair? If someone comes to the house later and sees Shi’er, okay, But what to do!”
Ms. Chen also reacted and quickly directed Fang Cheng to move the wheelchair. This was to prepare Fang Yue to continue to pretend to be sick.
"Mom, it's okay, no need, no need." Fang Yue quickly refused.
Sitting in a wheelchair is really uncomfortable. There is no need to pretend at home.
At the same time, Fang Yue also looked at Fang’s father.
Fang’s father looked honest, honest, and the stupidest.
But in fact, I have a clear mind and understand everything. I am just not good at expressing myself.
Bang bang bang~
At this moment, there were knocks on the door.
"Is this Fang Wuju's home?"
A loud voice came along with the knock on the door.
The voice sounded strange. It was obviously not a villager from Daliushu Village, and he didn't know who came to Fang Yue.
However, through a courtyard wall, the sound can still come in clearly.
There is no doubt that the person Dingre is a martial artist, and he is also the kind with a good level of cultivation.
"Oh no, no, no, maybe the people from the Yamen know about it and are here to catch piggies and fight." Mrs. Chen immediately panicked.
"Mom, don't worry, you're not from the Yamen." Fang Yue said.
The people in the yamen are not clairvoyant, so how could they possibly know the news that he is getting well?
Even if he knew it, it would take two or three days for the Yamen to send someone over, and it was impossible to come over now anyway.
No matter who is coming, you will know it when you meet him.
A moment later, in the front yard of the Fang family.
The person who came was a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a police officer. He had a kind face and was very polite.
"Haha, Fang Wuju is really young and has a lot of talent. I, Lian Bajin, came here this time because I want to trouble Fang Wuju about something."
Immediately the man told him about the food requisition.
It turns out that in the past two years, every village has been experiencing a food shortage.
Food can still be received there, but now that the army is on the move, there cannot be a shortage of food and grass.
As a result, the Yamen turned to some wealthy families for food.
Of course, those big and popular families with strong backends don’t dare to think wrongly.
So, people like Fang Yue who have lost their future and have no roots are being targeted.
"The company officer is right. When the court is in trouble, it should support it. But look at my family's situation. The rent has not been confiscated at all in the past two years, so there is no surplus food."
"But , I also know the situation of the Yamen. If I don't express anything, I can't explain it. How about this, I haven't withdrawn the money from the Yamen for more than a year, so I just donated the money." Fang Yue said with a smile.
No matter this person is trying to extort money and extort money in the name of the Yamen.
Or, the yamen is really having a hard time and needs support.
Fang Yue can't control these things.
However, it has been more than a year since he was injured, and he has never withdrawn the money given to Wu Juren by the imperial court.
He himself did not go, and the court naturally did not send it to him. The amount of money should be at least a few hundred taels now.
It would be a lot to donate this money to the court.
"Fang Wuju, I am talking to you about business, not joking!" Lian Bajin frowned and his tone became stiff.
If Fang Wuju could really get the money, how could he come to the door?
Isn't it because of Fang Yue's current situation that he has become useless, and the White Tiger Boxing Gym has a relationship with him, that is, he still has a martial arts master's uncle.
However, Zhang Boyang was also recently recruited to attack the Moshan tribe.
So, if you are polite and call you Fang Wuju, if you are rude, you will be Fang Laizi.
"What I'm talking about is serious business. Why do you think I donated too little? Six hundred taels of silver is not enough?" Fang Yue said immediately.
A year's standard of silver is six hundred taels.
Six hundred taels is not much for a warrior, but for ordinary people, it is a huge fortune.
Just buying land can buy more than two hundred acres.
Those were the good times in previous years. In the current situation, you can buy at least four to five hundred acres of land.
This is a lot of money.
If you go to other provinces to buy grain, you can buy thousands of kilograms of it.
However, I thought that Lian Bajin would fall out, but then, Lian Bajin was beyond Fang Yue's expectation. Instead of falling out, he continued to persuade:
"The words are So, what the yamen needs most now is food. There is a shortage of food everywhere, so take money. I can’t buy food either.”
“In this case, I will go to other villages to raise funds. As long as the task is completed, I will not bother Fang Wuju again. If it doesn’t work, Fang Wuju will contribute.”
After Lian Bajin finished speaking, he said a few more polite words and then left.
