Dressed as a widow, raising cubs, farming and building infrastructure in Ming Dynasty

Today, it happened that Ding Jicheng and Baers both had their own people, and they were available for her to dispatch.

But what about the future?Do you want to wait for death like in the desert or the Gobi Desert?
Qin Liu stayed up all night. On the one hand, he was waiting for Bars to come back, and on the other hand, he was waiting for news about Ding Jicheng.

On the other hand, the person who sleeps most soundly at home is the local woman on the stove.

Qin Liu advanced her monthly payment for three months and asked her to go home and settle down at home first.

The mother-in-law's face, which had been blown dark and rough by the wind and sand outside the Great Wall, was filled with an expression of disbelief and surprise.

She hurriedly saluted and went home. Qin Liu simply asked her to take home the piece of meat she bought yesterday from the kitchen and a bag of wheat.

The mother-in-law thanked her profusely and left without stopping.

Qin Liu was good at cooking. At this time, Anhua City was like a powder keg that could explode at any time, and most of the people who suffered were ordinary people.

If life is really going to be ruined, Qin Liu believes that the mother-in-law may prefer to stay with her family to tide over the difficulties.

It was almost noon when Ding Jicheng and Bals came back.

There are only three of them in this big house now.

The two guards who protected Qin Liu had been arranged by Qin Liu in a rented house in the city - she didn't want too many people to know that she and Bals lived together without being married.

Qin Liu cooked lunch himself and chatted with Ding Jicheng and Bals while eating.

Ding Jicheng ate quickly and urgently, but the news he brought was exciting.

"We have already made contact with Mr. Yang and the others. Not all the officers in the city have turned to King Anhua and the others. Some of them are still dormant, waiting for the right time, and someone will take the lead in counterattack."

"The news that Mr. Yang is in Anhua has not leaked out. However, he also knows some civil and military officials and contacted them secretly. He is waiting for the counter-rebellion army to arrive and cooperates internally and externally."

The son of the chief minister, a great talent who is famous all over the world, is indeed extraordinary.

Qin Liu said to Ding Jicheng with bright eyes: "Tell him to put his safety first and never expose his identity and be caught!"

Bars just nodded to Qin Liu and said nothing more.

From here to Yuquanying and Lingzhou, which is [-] to [-] miles away, it is not possible to get a response in just one day.

After resting at night, Qin Liu suddenly remembered and asked Bals: "Do you have any money there? I have it here."

Balth sneered.

"You are really like a worried hen. Guess where did I get the gold for the betrothal gift I sent to your family?"

"Where did it come from? Could it be that it was robbed?"

Bars nodded.

Qin Liu ran away: "Are you crazy?! This is the Ming Dynasty! Are you not afraid..."

Qin Liu suddenly remembered that his voice was a bit loud, so he lowered his voice and said, "Aren't you afraid of being caught by the government?! No matter how powerful you are, you can't withstand the crowds. This is not a grassland. No one cares about murder, robbery, and robbery!"

Bars picked up the nervous Qin Liu and kissed her fiercely before saying proudly.

"I'm not a fool. The people I rob are corrupt officials who can and should be robbed, but who can't go to the government to report the case!"

"For a magistrate who returned to his hometown after becoming an official, I grabbed a banknote of 5 taels of silver! I exchanged it all for gold, and I got all the betrothal gifts."

Qin Liu was stunned.

A prefect carried 5 taels of silver in his banknotes alone!

The amount of corruption should be much higher than this!

Officials in the Ming Dynasty were notoriously low in salary, and the source of this money could only be corruption.

She was a person who had traveled through time, worked hard and risked her life, and with Zhu Yue's help, she earned thousands of taels of silver.

It’s better to make money faster by being an official!Even she became obsessed with money and wanted to be an official.

An idea suddenly came to her.

"What you robbed was a civil servant?"

"Yes, a prefect."

Qin Liu understood in his heart.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty had great power, had many sources of money, and were familiar with history books. They knew that most of the people who rebelled in history did not end well, so they probably would not join the rebellion.

On the contrary, those military generals who lost their land and property as a result of Liu Jin's new policies were the staunchest supporters in this round of rebellion.

However, will ordinary soldiers who don't have enough to eat and receive insufficient pay be so naive as to follow the generals in rebellion?
The answer should be no.

I don’t have enough to eat now, but I can still survive.The salary and silver are not enough, but there is still money to be had.

Qin Liu's confidence suddenly increased a lot.

The only staunch supporters of King Anhua's rebellion were those officers who were forced by Liu Jin's new policies and lost the military lands they had previously occupied. Without a broad mass base, it was bound to be a farce that would end badly.

In order to verify his guess, Qin Liu asked Ding Jicheng to find out what the lower-level soldiers thought about King Anhua's rebellion early the next morning.

Ding Jicheng soon replied, with a smile on his face.

"Girl, those soldiers are lazy and mainly deal with errands. No matter who becomes the emperor, it will have little impact on them. King Anhua has been busy rebelling these days, and the repayment of salary promised before has not been fulfilled. , the soldiers are very angry!"

Qin Liu was overjoyed!

Bals also brought back Hai Dongqing who sent the message.

"The news from Yuquan Camp, please report the recent situation in Anhua City one by one! The guerrilla general Qiu Yue and the deputy general Yang Ying are in Lingzhou now, and they are rushing to Anhua with their troops."

The army is not traveling very fast. It is seven to eight hundred miles from Lingzhou, and there are still several days before arrival.

Qinliu became a temporary information transfer station. News in Anhua City was transmitted from time to time through special channels such as the soldiers guarding the city, and was then sent to Lingzhou by Hai Dongqing.

It was getting dark that day, and Qin Liu was planning when the army would arrive in Anhua City, when he heard someone knocking on the door.

It turned out that Mrs. Zaoshang, who had been home for many days, was here.

Her words had a strong accent, and Qin Liu only realized through her anxious gestures and tugs: This old woman wanted her to leave quickly!
Qin Liu glanced at Bals beside him hesitantly.

Ding Jicheng went out and hasn't come back yet.

After Bals's eyes flickered, he actually nodded: "Let's go with her."

The mother-in-law was greatly relieved and quickly led the way.

Qin Liu and Baers followed the mother-in-law through various twists and turns, and finally arrived at a remote residential house on the mountainside.

Qin Liu saw her mother-in-law open the door and admit the patient with great skill, and understood that this was her home, and her son, daughter-in-law, grandson and others also lived in the house.

The mother-in-law cleaned up a clean room for them to stay in, and then explained the reason.

It turns out that my mother-in-law’s neighbor was a military household, and she had left my children in his house to take care of her.

Recently, the military household came back to look after the children. He heard about the mother-in-law's patronage. He hesitated for a long time before saying: "The government noticed a three-entry house outside the city. They thought a spy was hiding and were preparing to arrest him. Someone killed Anhua on the way out of the city. King, the city gate was closed for emergency. I took the opportunity to sneak back to see the child."

Qin Liu couldn't laugh or cry.

I had given an extra piece of meat and a bag of wheat out of kindness, but I actually asked this ordinary rural old woman who couldn't read a single Chinese character to risk offending the rebels to rescue me and hide her in her house!
What kind of kindness should be repaid by a spring?

Isn't she afraid of getting burned?
