Dressed as a peasant girl, she pampered the powerful villain

The sights he saw along the way were too heavy. Zhou Songqing's mood became more and more heavy, and he had no intention of coaxing Mrs. Zhou's petty temper.

Mrs. Zhou was even more dissatisfied with this. Mrs. Zhou kept talking and laughing all the way, not knowing how to persuade her.

Zhou Songqing observed all the way, fearing that there would be unevenness on the road, so he had to patiently persuade Mrs. Zhou: "Mom, it seems that more people have died in Songxian County than in our Gufeng County. Now that the snow has stopped, I am afraid that I will suffer from hunger." The people will come out to plunder."

Mrs. Zhou only treated her as being perfunctory and snorted: "Don't fool me. Now is a peaceful and prosperous time, with good harvests every year. How can there be so many hungry people?"

Mrs. Zhou panicked after hearing what Zhou Songqing said. The harvest of the Zhou family's hundred acres of land this year was indeed not good. She patiently said to Mrs. Zhou: "Mother, I also found that there are more and more people begging."

Mrs. Zhou: "Aren't these years good years? How could it be?"

Zhou Songqing felt that her mother was used to being pampered and had ignored the impact of climate change on crops. She explained: "Mom, it snowed for a whole month this year. The price of grain and charcoal in various places has increased to sky-high prices. People can't afford it at all. In disaster years, There are so many refugees, so we must not take it lightly.”

Seeing his serious face, Mrs. Zhou opened the small window of the carriage and took a look outside. There were scattered figures on the road, and everyone looked sad. There were many women holding a pair of children and crying and hawking, just to get some grain. .

Her heart suddenly sank, and then she believed her son's words.

No wonder the younger son asked the older son to prepare food and charcoal. How could ordinary people withstand the snow for so long? Over time, they will either freeze to death or starve to death.

Mrs. Zhou then changed her face and said anxiously: "Why don't we go back to Gufeng County, so as not to meet the refugees."

Zhou Songqing felt relieved. The old man finally took it to heart and said with a smile, "Mom, don't panic, Tongzhou County is almost here."

If I hadn't been worried about the old lady's health and walked slowly, I would have reached Tongzhou County yesterday.

Mrs. Zhou remembered that she had either had a headache or a heartache in the past few days, and said with a guilty conscience: "Let the carriage go faster, my mother's body is still strong."

Zhou Songqing smiled and nodded understandingly, asking A Yong to hurry up.

Mrs. Zhou rolled her eyes secretly, her mother-in-law just loves to fool around.

……

To transport 10,000 bottles of patent medicine, Wang Shuyan used a horse-drawn carriage to transport them all in order to improve efficiency. The journey was so majestic that those who didn't know thought it was the cargo of the bodyguards of the Escort Bureau.

Usually a large amount of goods are transported by ox carts, and military supplies are transported by horse carts. The last time military supplies and military rations were transported back to the border, horse carts were used. Firstly, it was because of the wind and snow, and secondly, to improve efficiency.

The patent medicine was liquid, and Sergeant Liang was afraid that it would freeze when sent back to the border in the snow, so he specially requisitioned three carriages in the name of military supplies in Ma Zheng.

According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, for military needs, carriages can be requisitioned from various places based on official orders and official documents, and there is no need to pay for it. At that time, Wang Shuyan became more knowledgeable after hearing Zhao Qian's explanation. Sure enough, it was convenient to have something to do with official affairs. .

Therefore, after Sergeant Liang left, she kept donating food and charcoal to the county government in the name of "Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory". Sometimes Zhou Songqing would deliver it to the door, and sometimes it would be her. When people see the carriage of Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory, they know that Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory has gone to the Yamen again to deliver grain and charcoal.

When you do good deeds, you must always let people know who did it, otherwise it will be like doing it in vain. County Magistrate Gu specially wrote three memorials to apply for pension funds in Kyoto. One of the memorials also specifically commended the clan princes who donated grain and charcoal, and then went on to praise the Wang family of the 'Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory'. , she wrote half a book about how she saved the people of Tongzhou County from the fire and water.

There is only one purpose, hoping that the patent medicines from Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory can be smoothly distributed in various counties.

The key point was to tell Emperor Lao Wei that the mortality rate in Tongzhou County during the summer epidemic was zero, and that he had effectively controlled the riots and the placement of victims or roadblocks in snowstorms. His three-year term was about to expire, and he finally lived up to the emperor's kindness. So much...

It seems that he is praising others, but in fact he is talking about his own management achievements in a roundabout way.

There are no regulations. Ordinary families can only buy one carriage for their own use or to open a shop. The rules should not be too big. The last time she was able to buy a large carriage was purely because of Zhang Jiulin.

Since opening the Dafang Pharmaceutical Factory, Wang Shuyan has long wanted to buy more carriages as orders have increased, but he has never had a "high-sounding" reason. Sergeant Liang's request was just right.

Magistrate Gu's weakness is that he doesn't take advantage of others casually, but when he does, he is very easy to talk to, especially after he solves a big trouble.

The grain and charcoal donated by Wang Shuyan to the county government totaled almost five thousand kilograms, which was equivalent to a certain amount.

She just told Magistrate Gu about her 'difficulty' with a look of embarrassment. She needed a carriage to transport military supplies, but she couldn't buy one. Magistrate Gu was just stunned and said hello to Ma Zheng for her.

Military supplies were an official order, and there was also an official seal from Magistrate Gu. Wang Shuyan only went through the formalities with Ma Zheng, and directly selected the twenty good horses from King Rong's rebels by name. Then he went to the racecourse to select carriages and turned around. Finally, all the good horses that King Rong had used to rebel were in her hands, and she didn't spend a penny.

Wang Shuyan also sensed this and asked Duan Li to deliver 500 kilograms of charcoal to Mazhenghe County Government the next day. The price on the market had risen to fifty cents per kilogram of charcoal. One thousand kilograms added up to five hundred taels, which was considered her payment. Got the money for the carriage.

Twenty carriages, she used ten carriages for this trip, accompanied by Fei Ying and twenty secret guards, plus Wang Shuyan, there were twenty-two people in total.

Four cars are used to store medicines, and five cars are used to store grains, charcoal, cooking stoves, and bedding to keep out the cold. They can be used together in the summer, and a long trip in the winter is no different from moving.

This arrangement was made because Zhou Songqing said that the closer to the border, the colder it gets. If there is an avalanche, people without food and charcoal will easily freeze to death. Preparing food and charcoal for cooking stoves can prevent problems before they happen.

From Tongzhou County to the border, it will take seven or eight days at the fastest. If the road is difficult to walk due to snow, it may take ten days. If you travel non-stop, you can arrive in five or six days.

In order to make the road condition better, Feiying led two carriages equipped with large wooden shovels to shovel snow and clear roadblocks. However, the mountain road was no better than the county road, and it was only slightly easier to walk after the snow was shoveled.

On a hundred-mile road, there are inns only every twenty miles. Wang Shuyan's plan is to walk twenty miles a day, stay at the inns that day, and try to reach the border on the sixth day.

Feiying was quite embarrassed by this requirement. It would definitely be no problem if he was riding alone, but it would be a bit difficult if he encountered snow and cargo.

Wang Shuyan smiled and said, "Let's take a walk first. If it doesn't work, we can just arrange it on the road."

Anyway, the food, charcoal, and bedding were all ready, so she didn't care. It's not like this kind of thing has never been done in the last days.

Feiying looked at the ice and snow and said that he would try his best to walk twenty miles a day. He didn't want to be on the road in such weather. Even rough men are afraid of the cold. (End of chapter)
