Chapter 781 Tentative (1) ([-])
"Master, did I do something wrong in recruiting them? Maybe they still have a chance outside."

Master Kasyapa glanced at her, "For them, I'm afraid they would rather have a full meal and fight this battle to die before, than just starve to death in the capital. Before, you didn't think that King Ning would be mixed in among the refugees. The army. Your actions are actually enough to deal with the refugees. In fact, since such a thing happened, don’t think so much. You are the backbone of everyone.”

Yes, these are the poor. After the price of food soared, apart from looting, they would starve to death.The looters had heard from Xu Yun before that they were arrested and beheaded together with the speculators.Shen Ji didn't know what attitude to take towards those looting mobs.They would starve to death if they didn't plunder, and they didn't hurt Cui Da's shopkeeper and others when they robbed Baoyuezhai.But later, when the situation became more and more chaotic, their moral bottom line was also broken, and they became villains who did all kinds of evil.

Finally, the people outside the city wall retreated after paying more than 200 casualties.This bone was hard to crack, and those people went elsewhere.After all, food can be grabbed elsewhere, but it is not as difficult to deal with here.When this kind of food price soared, there were not many Zhuangzi like Shen Ji who raised hundreds of people.She also wanted to save some of the good rewards that people got for a moment.

In the final count of the number of people, more than 50 people were injured and more than 30 people were killed.The dead were buried at the edge of the hot spring village, and the injured were arranged to recuperate.

Shen Ji looked at the remaining more than 100 young adults and [-] to [-] women and children, and said, "Don't worry, these people won't come again unless they rob the whole neighborhood. This is Gyeonggi, and the camp in the suburbs of Beijing won't accommodate them." They continue to do evil like this." Those people scattered into dozens of people, scattered everywhere to plunder, and it was one of them who came to Hot Spring Village.

These people originally wanted to occupy several big villages to form a military camp, relying on the food they plundered and waited for King Ning's army to kill them.Then cooperate with the people lurking in the capital.Most of the imperial court's men and horses are now restrained by Dongchang.Looking at the previous situation, this seems to be a very good arrangement.

But this is Gyeonggi after all, how can others sleep peacefully by the side of the couch.Half a month later, the camp in the suburbs of Beijing was dispatched.After a fight, most of the real and fake young refugees were wiped out, and the rest were not a serious problem.However, King Ning's army, which was coming to the capital, was stopped eight hundred miles away from the capital by soldiers and horses from various cities urgently mobilized by the Ministry of War.

When the news came, there was cheers in the hot spring village, and they finally survived.It has been more than 100 days since refugees passed by the gate of Zhuangzi one after another.From the end of summer to the beginning of winter, men and women put on the original military uniforms, and the generals took out the cotton from the quilt and stuffed them in, turning them into winter clothes, which looked quite like a regular army.

Shen Ji thought it was wonderful, otherwise where would she go to make winter clothes for two or three hundred people.Even Master Kasyapa thought it was funny, teasing Shen Ji also brought out a mixed army.Although due to the limited supply of food, vegetables and so on have been cut off long ago, everyone's complexion is not very good.But at the moment it looks good.

Shen Ji said: "I don't know what happened to the capital outside?"

Master Kasyapa was silent for a while, "You don't think that after the soaring food prices and the previous looting by the refugees and King Ning's army, there is still a good scene outside? Most of the rooms are empty, maybe there are only one in some places." The village is deserted. The capital must also be in depression, and many ordinary people starved to death. In the past three or four months, only your hot spring villa can be called a paradise."

After hearing Master Kaye's words, Shen Ji, who originally wanted Director Hong to take out the marinated chicken, duck, beef, mutton and pork in stock, fell silent.

Manager Hong heard that she had the idea of ​​celebrating, so he hurriedly said, "Grandma can't, people from the camp in the suburbs of Beijing will definitely come here after hearing the news. Even for the sake of your lord, there will be nothing left at home by then."

Shen Ji nodded, "I know, let's have a full meal in a muffled voice. Send someone into the city to inquire about the situation of the uncle and the young master, as well as what is going on with the Princess Fuye's mansion now, and what is the current situation."

"Yes."

That night, Wei Ying came back on horseback.It was okay in front of the people, but Shen Ji was really taken aback by the voracious appearance of the queen, "Aren't you living in the house on duty, and you often walk around the palace, why are you so hungry?"

Wei Ying ate half a marinated chicken, two crucian carp, a bowl of pickled radish and cabbage, and three bowls of rice before putting down his chopsticks, and then drank two bowls of fish soup.

"I haven't eaten enough all the time. This way, there are white banners everywhere. Daughter-in-law, it's a good thing you are not in the city, and the food price has increased by more than ten times. It is thanks to Xu Mao's ability to swindle and rob those The big family has made a lot of food. Otherwise, I won’t be able to eat half full, and I’m afraid the emperor will have to eat porridge.”

"So serious?"

"Of course, although there are only 10,000 to [-] refugees, they almost blocked the gates of the capital city. Then, the taxes, money and food in various places have not been paid before, and the border towns and towns in the hinterland are all fighting. This is not enough. I don’t know how Lin Ziqin feeds his [-]+ army.”

"By the way, where's little Quan'er?" Wei Bowang's even Shen Ji's godfather and mother-in-law came with the whole family, why didn't they see that kid.Sister Lin and Brother Xin are also pale and emaciated.Before that, Mrs. Wang advised Shen Ji not to stay in Zhuangzi, saying that it was still safe in the capital.It seems that it is better for Shen Ji to live here.

Wei Ying paused for a moment, and then said: "He followed Aaron to intercept King Ning. When the matter of Princess Xiling broke out, Lin Ziqin would no longer be able to get assistance from Xiling. Once defeated, maybe Xiling will jump again." Come out to pick up a bargain. Fuye and Aaron were sent to prison. Ling Xiang and I tried our best to make sure that Aaron went to join the army, so Fuye was released. Xiao Quaner went together, saying that Haoerlang should go The battlefield. He said it in front of everyone, how can I stop him. And it is actually dangerous for him to arrest mobs in the capital."

Fuye also came, and now she was eating with her stomach open in Danzhu's room.Shen Ji just took a look. She said that she came out of the prison to live in Ling Xiang's house, and in the end she was almost completely out of food.Those ordinary people are even worse.

A few months after the city gate was closed, relatives and friends who could not buy food with money all came to join Shen Zhi.In addition to these relatives and friends, many people who foraged for food also came.No matter how low-key Shen Ji is, everyone knows about Hot Spring Zhuangzi, the only place within a hundred li that has not been looted.

Shen Ji didn't dare to open the door, and there was really no place to live inside.But it is still impossible to let the young and strong in Zhuangzi drive people away and watch them starve to death.In the end, we set up a shed outside and served two meals of porridge every day.In this way, eating is quite stressful.Two or three bags of grain are used up a day, and there is only half of the life-saving grain left in the cellar, two hundred bags, and the number of people coming from all directions is still increasing.
