Chapter 68: Give me a long stick in your hand and some face!
"Fill the water. After filling the water, leave quickly!"
The water problem has been solved, but the refugees here still have a serious problem, no food!
Although they asked Liu Laohu and the others to drive away the carriage containing grain when they came, horsemeat is also grain!
They drove ten carriages, that is, ten horses.
In the eyes of the refugees, these are just obvious things that can fill their stomachs!
Sure enough, after a while, someone saw that they were all thin women and children, and wanted to attack them!
Shen Lanxi walked to the side of a wooden stake as thick as a water tank and picked it up with a long stick. The wooden stake was lifted to the height of a person.
The next second, a whistling sound was heard, followed by a crackling sound of wood being crushed.
A piece of wood as thick as a water tank was split into three pieces with a stick and flew rapidly in three directions.
The wood hit the soil twice with a solid muffled sound.
There was also a piece of wood that flew directly into the Moon Lake. The huge impact caused a splash of water more than two meters high on the lake surface.
Those who want to come up to make trouble will be soaked in water!
“Give me the long stick in your hand to save some face!”
“We are here just to get water. After getting the water, we will leave immediately. We all, the water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river!”
No one answered, and there was silence all around.
After a few seconds, the soaked people all left in despair one by one!
Fetching water went very smoothly after that. Even if Shen Lanxi left for a while, no one dared to approach the women fetching water!
Shen Lanxi walked around and found that most of these refugees drank raw water and were very unhygienic. Some refugees pour used dirty water directly back into Moon Lake, and wash their clothes directly in Moon Lake.
Although running water has the function of self-purification, it cannot be used by more and more refugees. If the drought is not resolved soon, Moon Lake will turn into sewage paste sooner or later!
Just water pollution is not a big deal. The scary thing is that a plague is very likely to occur!
"Tell everyone that no one is allowed to drink the water before it has been boiled!"
Chun Xue Qiu Shuang hurriedly went to inform.
After collecting the water, the group of people walked non-stop towards Yicheng, and happened to pass by the refugees who had previously formed a team!
“There’s a lot of water!”
“Where’s Mr. Liu? Hurry up and call Mr. Liu over. Be the first to drink!”
Where is Mr. Liu? He’s in exile. The prisoner and his party have arrived at the foot of the city!
“Shall we go in?” At this moment, Liu Laohu felt very unsure when asking questions!
The household registration obtained by Shen Lanxi has been handed over to Liu Yanhui for management. He carefully compared the gender and age of each person and distributed the household registration.
Liu Laohu and other government officials took the identity and household registration, said nothing, and silently hid the original household registration!
When Liu Yan was sent back to the Wei Jiajun, he hesitated and walked towards them.
"Did you bring your household registration with you?"
Wei Jiajun: "I lost it when I fled!"
Liu Yan returned and distributed the household registration to them.
"Half of the people went to the city to purchase, and half stayed. Come back in an hour and let the remaining people go to the city to purchase!"
"Okay!"
Liu Yan Hui called Liu Laohu aside and gave her the cost of going to the city and the money for purchasing alone. Of course, part of it is a benefit fee, which is given in the name of purchasing, which sounds nicer, and everyone understands it tacitly!
Liu Laohu entered the city with half of the cadres and one-third of the prisoners who performed well.
"Brother Wu, they will be back soon. They won't let us in, right?" Shen Yuanruan said deliberately.
Wu Youliang leaned lazily on the wheel, but his eyes were restless, greasyly looking at the female family members, and finally fell on Shen Yuanruan.
"No way, I'm not in a hurry now. If they don't keep their word, who will believe them next time!"
Shen Yuanruan: "That's not necessarily true. Even if they don't keep their word, we There is nothing you can do about them. They are government officials!" Wu Youliang thought it made sense and got up quickly.
“I’m going to ask!”
Shen Yuanruan also followed: “Brother Wu, I’ll go with you!” Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Yuanruan and looked at her backwards. So angry.
"Lao San, does your daughter still have any sense of shame? Why don't you hurry up and teach her a lesson! She will be completely embarrassed by our Shen family!"
Shen Congli had a look of helplessness on his face: "Mother, what time is it now? My life is about to die. Who cares about their integrity!"
Mrs. Shen reached out and beat her son angrily.
“Don’t think that I’m too old and blind to see you secretly asking for things from her. I’m not dead yet. Don’t let such a despicable thing enter the door of our Shen family again!”< br>
"Listen up, you guys. If anyone is like her, don't say that you are from the Shen family in the future. I can't afford to embarrass that person!"
Shen Congyi: "Mother, don't be humbled by someone who is willing to do so. The popularity is bad. Let’s see how much money we have and what we can buy when we go to the city!”
Shen Conglian: “We don’t have a penny for the second house. We spent it all on water before. !"
"Our third room is the same..."
Shen Congyi: "Don't look at me, we don't have any money! Mother, Yuan Jing and the others have such a good relationship with Lan Xi, they must Rich. "
......
Shen Yuanjing and others have been rejected four times when they gave gifts to Wei Jiajun and showed their courtesy.
Although they followed Liu Laohu and others into the city this time, they did not have much money in their hands.
I bought pastries, dried meat, and sugar water from my eldest sister, and I already spent almost all of it.
"How much money do you have left on you?" Shen Yuanjing asked his younger brothers and sisters.
Shen Yuanjun: “I still have four cents!”
“I still have a silver hairpin!”
“I still have a silver ring.”
……< br>
Shen Yuanjing: "I have an idea. I want to buy some special gifts for Master Hu and others!"
"Brother, what special gifts are you?"
"I I didn’t expect it.”
“Brother, even if you did, we can’t buy it with this little money.”
“…”
Liu Yan replied and asked about the price of water, which is comparable to the price of meat!
He asked about the price of food again, which was already higher than the price of meat. After that, he sat in the teahouse for a while and collected some information.
When Liu Laohu and the others were about to finish their shopping, they went to the teahouse to call Liu Yan back.
Liu Yan returned to the city in pain, bought some steamed buns and water, and hurried out of the city!
The second group of people had just entered the city, and Shen Lanxi came back.
Liu Yan reported the news to Shen Lanxi.
“More than a month ago, Jihou had a miscarriage and hemorrhage. Fortunately, the people from Yaowang Valley arrived in time to save Jihou’s life. Within a few days, Jihou suffered from excessive worry and grief. If you don’t advance, you will die!”
Xiaoxue had already brought this news to her, and it was more detailed than what Liu Yanhui heard!
“Last time in Anzhen, the people from Yaowang Valley left in a hurry, presumably they were summoned into the palace!”
Shen Lanxi nodded: “Continue!”
“ The King of Zhennan was ordered to go to the northwest, and his rank was reduced again and again. He is now the Zhonglang General of the Northern Army, responsible for escorting grain and grass! "
The corners of Shen Lanxi's lips curled up: "From a first-grade general to a fifth-grade general, he was demoted faster than he was promoted. He is truly the number one person in the Great Zhou Dynasty!"
