Chapter 109 Nan Chen Becomes the Real Nan Chen

"What did you do up the mountain today? Why do you look bad when you come back? Are you too tired?"

Li Dafeng looked at her man worriedly.

Third Ning shook his head, "It's okay, I guess I'm just too tired." He didn't say what he did on the mountain.He never forgot what his elder brother told him thousands of times.

If it is true as what the elder brother said, when those rebels come to fight, they, the villagers without the protection of the city wall, will be the first to suffer.

At that time, the gates of the people in the city must be closed, and they will not be allowed to go in and run up the mountain?OK, how far can you run?The beast on that mountain is not a vegetarian.

Even the Orion dare not stay in the mountains all the time, let alone those who only know how to farm.

"Then what did you guys do up the mountain today? Brother didn't say anything mysteriously." Li Dafeng asked.

Ning Laosan looked solemn, "It's okay, daughter-in-law, don't ask, I will tell you what I need to tell you. You can't talk about it."

Li Dafeng was taken aback by her man's face, and looked worried, what was so mysterious that he couldn't talk about it?Could it be some shady trick?Impossible, how could the elder brother take them to do that kind of thing?
After asking for a long time, Ning Lao San was still unwilling to tell, so Li Dafeng was giving up.

At this time, Ning Er Er, who was also being questioned, finished dismissing his wife, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.

Those refugees who thought they had escaped made a lot of money this year, and he plans to buy a few more acres of land if he saves some money, just like his elder brother.

At that time, the house will be together, and the land will be bought together, and the little days will be happy.

He can also have a few more children with his wife to carry on the family line.

God, why can't they let these little people live in peace and stability?
After two days of busy work at home, Ning Changrong took Wang Xiujuan, Mrs. Lai and a load of materials to the county in the bullock cart.

Grandma Lai followed Ning Changrong's family's ox cart to the county, and the villagers found out after inquiring that she had been hired by Wang Xiujuan to help with work in a shop in the county.

A group of women patted their thighs regretfully, why didn't they look for them?They can do it too!

This lady Lai usually talks about it, but she can keep this matter so tight!
After sending people to the door of the shop and making arrangements, Ning Changrong went to other places, ready to inquire about news.

He actually asked Catcher Zhao before, but the other party was just a cop from the county government office, and he didn't know much about the affairs above.

I only know that in a few days it will be the time for their county magistrate's performance appraisal, and I heard that they are busy entrusting money to their connections.

If only the county magistrate sells the house, then it makes sense for the other party to sell the shop in order to collect money.

But the problem is that most people with connections in the county are selling shops, so the problem is not that simple.

In addition to the official, the most well-informed are those businessmen.

West Market had the most wounded people coming and going, and Ning Changrong pretended to be shopping to trap a lot of news.

Apart from knowing that the imperial court had completely lost control of the north, they did not find out anything else.

Finally, he came to the largest commercial firm in the county, Changyuan Commercial Firm.

He used money to bring in an escort who was escorting the goods, and invited him to a restaurant for dinner.

According to Shopkeeper Lin of Shiquan Inn, this firm is the largest firm in the county, and has hired a lot of bodyguards who have traveled all over the country. If they don't know why those people are selling their houses, then others probably don't. .

The bearded escort ate the food on the table with a blunt face, took a sip of wine, wiped his mouth, and then said: "What do you want to ask?"

Ning Changrong didn't even take a bite of the food on the table. He didn't expect the other party to have such a big appetite, so he twitched his mouth, "Brother, I just want to ask, why are so many people in our county suddenly selling their houses?"

Ning Changrong's meal was not in the vernacular, and the escort not only knew it, but also knew it clearly.

"It's normal for you people not to know. The two northern prefectures have changed hands, and the other places have also been occupied by rebels."

"The court keeps sending troops to encircle and suppress, and the rebels are suppressing more and more."

Having said that, the bearded head escort sighed.

"If you want to destroy the rebels, you need food and wages. Where does this food come from? Don't you collect it from the common people? If you want to destroy the rebels and build palaces, how can the common people have so much money?"

"Our mansion is the only place in the north that is not occupied by rebels. Except for the south, it is surrounded by rebels on three sides. Do you think those gentlemen in the county can make plans earlier?"

"The most important thing is that we have the largest granary in the county, which is a favorite in the eyes of the rebels. It will be a matter of time before they come over."

Ning Changrong suddenly thought of some people, "What about Jinzhou Mansion? Has it been taken over by rebels?"

Jinzhou Mansion was the hometown of Wang Guilin's group of refugees.

The escort sneered: "Jinzhou Prefecture? After the locust disaster, corpses were strewn all over the field long ago, and not a single grain of rice sent by the imperial court fell into the hands of the common people! After the refugees returned to their hometowns, they began to collect taxes. Even the money to buy seeds is borrowed, and some people can’t borrow it at all, living on wild vegetables, how can they have money to pay taxes!?”

Speaking of this, the head of the bodyguard seemed to be a little angry. Thinking of the tragic images he had seen, his eyes were full of anger.

After a long while, he lowered his shoulders weakly, "In the end, most of them were forced to die. Some people had no money to pay taxes, and some people were dragged to the battlefield to fight against the rebels and died as vanguards. Some people ran away and joined the rebellion. team."

"Today's Jinzhou Prefecture is covered with thousands of miles of red land, and howling is everywhere."

Speaking of this, the head of the escort let out a sigh of relief, raised his eyes and said: "For the sake of treating me to a meal today, I will give you a piece of advice, run as soon as you can. Right now, the Taizhou government It is the sweet pastry in the eyes of those rebels. Maybe the south can last for a while."

The head of the bodyguard who said this is a little confused, the troubled times have come, where should these ordinary people go?

south?But just lingering, will it be really safe to go to the south?

The head of the bodyguard walked away for a long time, but Ning Changrong still hadn't recovered.

Therefore, his guess was completely correct. In the northern part of the land, only Taizhou was left, and all the others changed hands. It should be said that in other places, only the rebel rebels and the officers and soldiers who suppressed the bandits were left fighting.

No wonder food prices have gone up again.

The emperor can only hide in the south to enjoy the false prosperity.

Moreover, he never repented, did not stop building palaces, and even intensified, hoping to prolong his life by praying to gods and immortals, so that Nanchen could last forever.

According to the general location that Ning Changrong saw on the map, taking their Taizhou Prefecture as the boundary, the north occupies three-fifths of the country, and only two-fifths of the territory remains in the south.

Nam Chen became Nam Chen through and through.
