Escape: I rely on the food exchange system to survive to the extreme

Chapter 252 Seed
"Oh my god, is this the whole city?"

In the summer, because of the heat, Mrs. Mei’s family would usually have dinner in the yard.

It was unusual tonight to place it in the main hall. Old Mrs. Mei said that it was to welcome the Bai mother and son, but in fact it was to avoid eavesdropping.

Doubao has now grown into a majestic big yellow dog. Han fed Doubao early before dinner.

Now that everyone was having dinner, Doubao was strolling back and forth in the yard, as if he was keeping watch for the people in the house and not letting strangers in.

"Some time ago, people were beheaded every day in Caishikou..."

When Mrs. Bai was talking to Old Lady Mei, her face turned extremely pale, and Old Lady Mei and the others also looked grim.

"I heard from my husband that whenever someone mentioned anything about Jiangbei, His Majesty would reprimand them. If repeated reprimands were ineffective, he would be imprisoned and punished.

If you don't repent, you will be executed directly.

There are also some officials who have secretly decided to quit and leave Yao Lin. No matter what method or interface they use...if they are discovered, they will be charged with treason and collusion with the enemy."

"Oh my god!" Han's scalp tingled, "Why is this person so indiscriminate?"

"Sister-in-law (old lady)!"

Old Lady Mei and Mrs. Jiang looked at Mrs. Han, and when they realized that their voices were too loud, Mrs. Han immediately covered her mouth.

It's just that people didn't dare to say it out loud, but they were cursing in their hearts.

Can such a person be emperor?
Are these officials just letting it happen?
···
Just when people in the south of the Yangtze River were in panic, the epidemic in the capital city of Jiangbei also frightened many people. It took more than a month of hard work to get the situation under real effective control.

A two-pronged approach of isolation and medication was adopted. Even when Mei Qian sent people to dispatch supplies and medicines from other places for the news of the epidemic, he only used carrier pigeons to send messages and did not allow anyone to leave.

To prevent people from taking the disease with them when they go out.

Similarly, people who came to transport supplies were not allowed to enter the city. After delivering the goods, they had to rest in place for three days. They were only allowed to go back after making sure that no one showed any symptoms of abnormality.

After a month, most of those initially infected had recovered, and Mei Qian lost a lot of weight due to being so busy.

After making sure that many people had recovered from their illnesses and returned to their posts, Mei Qian immediately quit his job and went home to rest.

too tired.

The 007 in ancient times was even more tiring than the 007 in modern times. There were no bright lights, no refreshing coffee, no computers, and everything depended on handwriting.

Even though Mei Qian has started using a light quill pen, she can't write all day long.

"Sir, the ladies from You'an Hall asked me if you were doing well lately."

When Mei Qian heard Qian Yuan's reply, she was lying on a bench drinking tea.

“Well, not that good, but not bad either.

I've only had two days off..." Mei Qian's tone was full of resentment, but she wasn't targeting those women. She asked with concern, "Have they been affected by the epidemic these days?"

"No. Everyone listens to you, sir."

"That's good. When the city ban is completely lifted in half a month, we will leave."

Mei Qian said, Qian Yuan startled me and asked, "Leave? Where to?"

"Of course we have to go to Li Su Prefecture. It's so far to the northwest. If we don't go there in advance, we won't be able to get there before winter."

"Then, sir, are you going too?"

"Go? I will be supervising the war in Li Su Mansion next spring."

While dealing with the epidemic these days, Mei Qian applied to Qi Chen for permission to go to Li Su Mansion.

As for why she wanted to go to Li Su's house, Mei Qian's reason was very simple -

"Princess Foyou is seriously ill and has been intimidating the Western Rong soldiers in the northwest, so they have not dared to go south. Now that the capital has been captured, the overall momentum of the Western Rong is declining, and their follow-up supplies have not kept up. If the war breaks out again, it will be time for them to retreat back to the grassland.

In this battle, Luoling in the east formed a front line, Lisu Prefecture in the west, and Wuzhou in the middle. Because the southern parts of Xing'an Prefecture and Guangyuan Prefecture were mountainous, the Western Rong soldiers could not immediately march south from the center.

At least a few more battles will be fought this autumn and winter, after which the Western Rong will probably linger on or be unwilling to leave.

In the deep winter, the snow is thick and the wind is strong. If we want to drive them out completely, we will probably have to wait until next spring.

Of our two main lines, the princess and I are most familiar with each other, and I also have other important matters to discuss with the princess this time."

In addition to sending these women to Li Su Mansion, Mei Qian has new ideas about the future development of the border with Xirong, and I think Qi Fei will like it very much.

After all, Mei Qian was just thinking about continuing to earn military merits.

Once the Western Rong retreat, the prime minister will have very few opportunities to gain great military merit.

In the battle in the capital, Mei Qian did not get much military merit at the beginning, and was also bullied behind his back. After that, he was busy with hard work, and Mei Qian did not want to continue like this.

Qi Chen was still a little worried about what Mei Qian said at the time, and he also said that Mei Qian was also very good in literature and governance.

This time the epidemic was dealt with not only by Chu Ji, but also by some other adults who also recognized the fact that they had no money.

But Mei Qian just smiled and accepted the compliments modestly, as if she didn't take them seriously.

Before the decree allowing women to take the imperial examinations was actually issued, Mei Qian was unwilling to appear in the court as a civil servant in the future.

The waters of the civil service are too complicated, and Mei Qian doesn’t want to get involved.

If she fails in the imperial examination for women and she is the only woman serving as a civil servant in the court, will Mei Qian still want to live?
Now that she can earn military merits, she should do so first.

The rewards she will receive in the future based on her military merits are real and cannot be erased. Her military merits will allow her to gain a firm foothold in the court.

"Ah? You're leaving so soon? Going to Li Su Mansion?"

After bringing back the news about Mei Qian, the girls were excited and scared, but deep down they also felt a sense of complete relief.

"Then, will Master Mei go with us?"

Qian Yuan looked at the innocent and pitiful-looking girl, and remembered that everyone called her Ming Niang. He nodded and replied, "Yes, Master Mei will go with us."

"Master Mei will personally send us there?!"

Many women were touched by Mei Qian's thoughtful behavior, but Qian Yuan didn't understand the situation and just said, "Your Excellency is going to Li Su Mansion mainly to serve as a military advisor for the war, so it's a good opportunity to send you there."

"Oh my god, Master Mei is still a military advisor?"

"Don't you know? Lord Mei killed a lot of Western Rong soldiers when he was a military advisor! When Lord Mei and General Su were guarding Ningcheng, they were suddenly attacked by Western Rong people at night, and even the city gates were broken."

As Qian Yuan spoke, many women were so frightened that they covered their mouths and opened their eyes wide in disbelief.

"and then?"

"Then Lord Mei set a trap and killed all those Xirong soldiers, leaving no one alive!"

"Wow!!"

"My God!"

When they heard that Mei Qian planned to kill all the Xirong soldiers, the eyes of the women present all lit up with astonishment!

"So, Master Mei is so powerful?!"

The crowd was filled with exclamations of amazement as they listened to Mei Qian's story. A few women also had eyes full of yearning...

A single spark can start a prairie fire.

Regarding the matter in Jiangnan, they are still causing troubles within the group~
