"You said, with the pitiful balance of these three people, it is considered good if I can guarantee that I will not starve to death. How can I help Xiao Yunyun upgrade and earn interstellar coins?"
She never expected that, The system levels of these three people are lower than each other, and the highest one, Mu Yuze, is one level lower than Lu Ruyun.
That’s outrageous.
“If you have a cheat and don’t hurry up and make money to marry Bai Fumei, what are you thinking about all day long?”
“.”
Shen Xingluo twitched the corner of his mouth and suddenly became speechless.
An orc is busy surviving, and a martial artist is busy improving himself. As for the remaining one, he probably doesn’t even know what Bai Fumei is, so what can you expect them to do?
Cheng Xi sighed, "So, it depends on us women to have a career!"
"You can recommend Mu Yuze to Miss Lu. There are fights and clans in the ancient martial arts plane. With extensive experience, the fabrics from the plant plane must be able to save lives at critical moments.”
“It seems like this is the only way.”
Shen Xingluo passed some pieces of dark-colored fabric in the storage compartment to Mu Lingze, but did not receive a reply for a long time.
Both people: "."
Tsk, they must be practicing martial arts in seclusion again.
***
Shen Xingqi was very fast and made four sets of clothes in two days.
"Why so many?"
Cheng Xi pinched the fabric and looked at her, "Have you stayed up late these days?"
"No, they were all done during the day."
< br>Shen Xingluo smiled and shook his head, "Sister-in-law, The fabric is good, and the scissors and needlework are also very easy to use. It makes clothes much faster.”
She didn’t believe it at first when she heard about the characteristics of the fabric. Yes, how could there be such a heaven-defying thing in the world?
Although she grew up in Lin'an Mansion, this does not mean that her vision is narrow. She usually reads a lot of books to learn about theory, but after trying it, she was shocked and a new world was opened.
What’s wrong with such heaven-defying fabrics?
Her sister-in-law is a heaven-defying existence!
Not surprising, not surprising at all.
Even if one day her sister-in-law says that she is a fairy in the sky, her jaw will not drop!
"Come and see if the clothes I made are good. Brother, two, and you two too."
"What's wrong with what you did?"
Cheng Xi took over the clothes smoothly Open, it is a white and blue dress, mainly white, only the collar and waist are made of blue fabric, the style is simple and elegant, and there is a circle of grand patterns embroidered on the outside of the belt.
“I like it very much, thank you for your hard work.”
Whether in ancient times or modern times, the embroidery work on this suit is top-notch.
Shen Xingqi smiled and picked up another piece and put it into her hand, "Then look at this one."
"This is men's clothing, right? Give it to your brother."
Cheng Xi's words Before he finished speaking, a pair of eyes looked at the unfolded cloth and he stopped talking.
The same color is white and blue, but this shirt is mainly blue, with white supplements on the collar and waist. The most important thing is that the outside of the belt is embroidered with the same style as the one just now. Color.
This little girl even dressed up as a couple?
Who said that ancient people were poor in creativity? At this young age, they are self-taught!
"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, do you look good?"
"Good-looking."
Cheng Xi glanced at her and saw that the little girl's eyes were full of teasing.
“But I have an idea, do you want to hear it?”
"Say."
"Most of the fabrics I gave you are brightly colored. How about making a few sisters' outfits? If there are any left, you can make Wangshu something more elegant."
< br>How cool is it to go out like this?
Not much better than couple costumes!
“It’s okay, like this?”
Shen Xingluo hesitated for a moment, then suddenly felt inspired, and his eyes became brighter and brighter.
“I’ll go right away.”
“Please rest and don’t be in a hurry.”
“I know!”
Cheng Xi saw her expression Even though inspiration was about to come, he didn't stop him. Just when he wanted to see how his master was doing with his research on medicinal plants, he saw Shen Xingluo and Su Zhan walking in, their faces seemed a little solemn.
"What's going on?"
"There's been some restlessness outside the city these days."
It's not just the outskirts of Beijing that are restless, the entire north of the Yan Dynasty is also restless.
The end of September is the day after the autumn harvest. In April this year, a cold wave swept through most of the country, causing all wheat and other crops to freeze to death, and the people had no food in their hands.
The refugees affected by the snowstorm have just been comforted, and they are afraid that trouble will happen again.
"Did something happen to Zhuangzi outside our city?"
"Back to Madam, there have been refugees visiting Zhuangzi in the past few days, and many nearby people have had their homes robbed."
"Nothing serious happened, right?"
"."
Su Zhan looked strange, "Ahem, madam, the red fruit tree behind Zhuangzi is bald."
"."
Cheng Xi blinked and was extremely confused, "What does it mean to be bald? What is the method of baldness?"
"I don't know where those refugees heard it from. The news said that the red fruit is very valuable. , they picked the remaining small fruits and ate them as food. Some people who were very hungry even picked the leaves and cooked them. ”
“.”
大. Venus is very sour, can you eat it?
Besides, hawthorn is an appetizer, so the more you eat, the hungrier you become, right?
Even if you eat leaves, you cannot pick them and eat them.
When Cheng Xi was speechless, he realized the seriousness of the matter. If even the refugees outside the capital were so unscrupulous in picking hawthorns to eat, then the situation in other places would only become more serious.
"Has the court taken any measures?"
"Not yet. These refugees have only gathered in the past month because the autumn harvests everywhere are not good, and they are afraid of starving again. , even the court didn’t react.”
It may be fine if you are hungry and suppressed once, but if you do it again, it may be more serious than the last time. Shen Xingluo said, "Pay more attention to the news outside Beijing these days."
"Yes."
Su Zhan quickly left the small courtyard, and the two of them Went directly into the study.
A letter came from Shenjiacun, written by Shen Mantun.
The second season of potatoes planted in Shenjia Village was all harvested a few days ago, totaling nearly 700,000 kilograms, which can be described as a bumper harvest.
The fifth prince has led his troops to leave Shenjia Village, buying and taking away all the seeds except the seeds reserved for them. Now every household has more than one hundred taels of silver in their hands.
In addition, Magistrate Xie bought half of the potatoes in the name of Lin'an Prefecture to keep as seeds for popularization next year, and the remaining ones will be escorted to the capital soon.
"Not in the future?"
Cheng Xi calculated the distance and time, "This letter was sent five days ago. If there are soldiers to escort it, it will only take about 8 days from Lin'an Prefecture to the capital. distance, which means these potatoes are coming soon?”
"If nothing else happens."
Accident
Well, there are a lot of refugees on the road to the capital now.
Thinking about it this way, it might be a good thing for Magistrate Xie to keep half of the seeds, so as not to be robbed halfway.
Seeing her thoughtful look, Shen Xingluo laughed and said, "No."
"What?"
"The fifth prince sent Song Zhi to transport potatoes. The refugees will not succeed. The real people who are on guard are not the people, but the officials and aristocratic families in the capital."
". "
"And it's not guarding on the road, but entering the city gate."
Cheng Xi suddenly realized, "You mean, the emperor can't keep him?"
".Ahem, that's okay."
"Then our Holy Lord is really pitiful."
He can't even keep his own things, and he has to be remembered by others. Give it, it's not the least bit pitiful.
That's so pitiful.
“An emperor can do this——”
Cheng Xi sighed and silently lit a piece of wax for the man on the dragon chair.
Shen Xingluo: "."
There is no need to sympathize with him so much.
***
The next day, news of a large number of refugees outside the city spread throughout the capital.
In a short time, most of the excitement due to the examination was gone. The number of women on the main street decreased at a speed visible to the naked eye, for fear that they would be hit by the sudden arrival of refugees.
On the contrary, there were more students staying in Beijing and students from the Imperial College, and they began to gather together to think of countermeasures as if they wanted to ask for orders for the people and for the sake of the court.
Shen Xingluo returned home quickly after going out for a morning, and locked himself in the study room not to go out.
Cheng Xi’s traditional Chinese medicine course has already entered acupuncture. At the end of the morning course, he heard noise coming from outside.
“Wangshu, go and have a look.”
"Yes."
Wang Shu's figure returned not long after leaving. "Madam, refugees have gathered outside the city. Many officials and gentry are planning to give porridge and help. People are queuing up at all the major grain stores in the capital. There are already The line reaches the entrance of the alley. "
"Is that an exaggeration? "
The alley and the main street are separated by two streets.
“Most of the boys who go to the grain store to buy grain drive carriages, so the queue is quite long.”
"Does a wealthy family need a carriage to buy things? Just ask the shopkeeper to deliver it to your door, okay?"
"." This was her common sense blind spot. Wang Shu shook his head and said she didn't understand either.
Wang Shu didn’t understand, and Cheng Xi, who thought she understood, was also confused. It wasn’t until Qin Zheng came over with the news that they suddenly realized it.
"What, because there are too many mansions that want to donate porridge, so the servant is afraid that he can't get it from his own mansion, so he just pulls the carriage and goes there?"
Both the master and the servant twitched at the same time. The corners of his mouth twitched, are your officials in the capital already so involved?
Isn't this too unreasonable?
Qin Zheng spread his hands, "It's a surprise this year. All the students who can be ranked are here. If any of the students don't go, they will probably be killed by these righteous people!"< br>
“If If I remember correctly, you are one of them."
"Can it be the same? I am a Qin family first, and a scholar secondly."
". Is it true that I am speechless?
"So your Qin's shop is making money?"
"Then, who gave these people not only a lot of money but also a reputation?"
Qin Zheng clicked his tongue twice and gave a pair of His eyes narrowed into a ram's horn symbol, "But my father The master said that the Qin family will also provide food for porridge, not only in the capital, but also wherever there is a Qin family food store."
"Oh!"
This. He wants to suppress other officials and aristocratic families by himself.
Well done though.
“Hasn’t the imperial court come up with a solution yet?”
“No method is the best method. Nowadays, although major aristocratic families are trying to gain a good reputation by giving soup, It has indeed solved the urgent need of the imperial court.”
Qin Zheng was not sleepy at all when it came to this aspect.
He analyzed it with his fingers and said clearly, "But I do know some inside information. The Ministry of Household Affairs does not have much food storage, and the major state capitals have also opened warehouses for disaster relief in the past few days. It is estimated that It will damage the foundation, so I guess the only thing left for the emperor is to reduce taxes.”
"."
After all, aren't the people left hungry?
