Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 364

"Xu's army has already captured the entire Yuyang County. If we wait any longer, not only His Majesty will be in danger, but Zhuo County will also be in danger!"

Liu Qi bowed heavily and begged: "I hope the prince will make a quick decision and send troops to rescue him as soon as possible!"

At this time, a gust of autumn wind blew into the hall, Zhao Yu suddenly felt a chill down his back, and couldn't help shivering.

He froze for a moment, looked up at the gloomy sky outside the hall, and asked suddenly:

"How is the people's harvest this year?"

Liu Qi couldn't answer this question, and was taken aback for a moment, wondering what kind of nerves Zhao Yu had lost, and suddenly became concerned about the people.

The waiter standing beside Zhao Yu replied: "This year's rain is not as good as last year, and the people's harvest is even worse than last year. I'm afraid that this year's plan will not be able to collect much food tax. Winter is coming, and this year's people will definitely have a hard time. "

As the saying goes, what kind of master there is what kind of servant, Zhao Yuren is kind to the people, and his servants are also very concerned about these specific numbers.

The master and servant looked at each other with a lot of melancholy in their eyes.

When Liu Qi didn't know what the master and servant were going to do when they sang and sang, Zhao Yu stood up and sighed:

"General Liu, to tell you the truth, the king sent his majesty the gold ten thousand taels before, which has already used up the government's stockpile of grain. In addition, this year's harvest is not good. If you send troops to Yuyang at this time, everyone will be hungry this winter. died."

Liu Qi stared, "What does the prince mean by this? Could it be that these common people are more important than His Majesty's golden body?"

Zhao Yu didn't like to hear these words, and his expression turned cold.

Liu Qi consciously made a slip of the tongue, and hastily changed his tone to save him. After all, there are some things that cannot be said on the bright side.

The common people don't care about these words, so it's fine to talk about it in private, but if you say it outright, you will be scolded by Confucian scholars!
"Your Majesty, your Majesty has been weak since he was a child, and left him in the hands of the rebels. If there is something wrong with the dragon's body, how will you and I explain it to the world?" Liu Qi said anxiously.

Zhao Yu shook his head helplessly, a look of unbearable flashed in his eyes, but what he said made Liu Qi's heart go cold.

"There is no other way, then please suffer His Majesty again."

Zhao Yu raised his hand to wipe the tears from the corner of his eyes, turned and left.

Liu Qi was left alone in the center of the hall, and Zhao Yu's words, "Then suffer your Majesty more," replayed in his mind repeatedly, gradually becoming chaotic.

Liu Qi hesitated to speak: "No, I, your lord"

It's a pity that Zhao Yu had already disappeared without a trace, no matter how much he had to say, he could only hold back.

In mid-September, the north suddenly ushered in a heavy rain.

The heavy rain poured down, as if a huge hole had leaked in the Tianhe River, and the bean-sized raindrops fell from morning to night, for a month in a row.

Just when Xu Yue and others who had just conquered Yuyang County thought there would be a flash flood and were always on alert, the heavy rain suddenly stopped.

The natural geographical advantages made Yuyang County stand firm in this heavy rain.

However, due to the torrential rain for months, the progress of the infrastructure construction has been greatly affected. The original plan to complete the cement paving of the main roads in the county by the end of the year was shattered.

Although the plan cannot be completed on time, Yuyang County is still lucky.

Most of Bingzhou and Jizhou, located north of the Yellow River, were flooded by the Yellow River, farmland was submerged, and countless houses were washed away.

The surviving victims began to rush to Youzhou further north, and Yuyang County under Xu Jiajun's rule became the first choice of the victims.

Catastrophic disasters are often accompanied by catastrophic epidemics. At this time, the northern land is full of hunger and death, like a hell on earth. A dead body eaten by wild animals can be encountered in three steps. The refugees who fled together lined up in a long line on the official road. The line can't be seen at a glance.

Xu Yue felt that she just woke up from a sleep, and there were countless victims outside the Weicheng on the border of Yuyang County.

After all, she now bears the name of the rebel army, so Wang Pingping's control over her own territory is very carefully arranged.

Immigrants should be blocked outside the walls of the Acropolis that has just been repaired. If the immigrants want to be in the mirror, they must undergo layers of interrogation. After confirming that they are not spies sent by other forces, they are allowed to enter the fishery. The boundary of Yang County.

In the early hours of the morning, the soldiers of the Xu family army stationed in the guard city had just shifted to a shift. When they looked up, they saw the densely packed victims under the city wall, and they were shocked.

The sky has turned pale, and under the faint light, with the help of the telescope left by the general, one can see that there are countless disaster victims walking towards this side on the official road outside the city.

During the few minutes of surveying the situation, there were dozens more people under the city wall. These refugees seemed to have made an appointment. Seeing hope.

They were ragged, and some even had no clothes to wear. They only barely covered their bodies with a straw mat.

There are men, women and children, but most of them are young people with stronger physical strength. Old people are rare. Even if there are, they are protected by a large group of people.

The children hid behind their parents and relatives, blocked by their parents with straw mats or sackcloth, blocking those green eyes.

It was late October at this time, and the temperature was already very low. The victims were cold and hungry, so they lit a fire under the city gate to keep warm.

When the sky is bright, the vegetation on the surrounding hillsides is visible to the naked eye.

The raw wood burned and smoke billowed, and the whole outside of the Acropolis was so smoky that people couldn't open their eyes.

At this time, these victims seemed to have made an appointment again, and knelt down in the Acropolis. Some sold themselves, some wanted to sell their children, and some young people shouted to join the Xu family army, just begging for food. man.

What scares Yangwazi the most is those women, who open their skirts, and half a bowl of rice can take her back for an hour.

As for what she can do in this hour, she can do whatever the employer wants.

Such women are quite pretty, and those ordinary-looking women even cast envious glances at them, envious that they can trade their faces and bodies for food.

In such a predicament, neither shame nor loyalty is as noble as a mouthful of corn porridge.

The husbands of the women were also present, and they tried their best to shout about the figure of their wives. The couple were not ashamed of it, but secretly rejoiced because they could bring the children who were still waiting to be fed in exchange for food.

Yangwazi is now a volunteer soldier of the Xu family. After Xu Yue and others captured the whole territory of Yuyang, the army expanded again. embrace.

However, unlike the mercenaries of the old days, the group of Yangwazi are volunteers and have no military pay, but they are given food and lodging and land. If the economy is rich, subsidies will be given from time to time.

Many children of tenant tenants in the old era voluntarily joined the Xu family army because they could share the land.

Also because of this policy, the interests of the two parties have been completely tied together. The newly recruited volunteers are devoted to the Xu family army, and their fighting will is much higher than that of the mercenaries of the old era.
