reborn child bride

Chapter 782 Tentative (2) ([-])
Shen Ji grabbed Wei Ying who came back a few days later and asked: "What should I do? I think they are more terrifying than those stragglers of King Ning. I can't afford it! There are almost 1000 people inside and outside, and they are still pouring in." Come on. If the relief food from the imperial court does not come down, those people will have nothing to eat, and they can eat me alive."

"How long can it last?"

"According to this trend of increasing dozens or hundreds of people every day, it will take half a month at most. If the food is about to run out by then, I can only let go and run away with the children in advance." She is not a savior, and she can't control that much.This is something that the court can afford.

Surprise appeared on Wei Ying's face, "Daughter-in-law, you are so capable, the emperor will be grateful to you. You still have so much food after four months."

"Before I sent dozens of people to various places to purchase grain. They shipped it overtly and secretly, and spent 3 taels of silver to buy grain. At that time, the grain was only dozens of dollars a stone. In the cellar If you want to go and see, there is no problem with running horses, and they are all piled up at the beginning. I only dare to ask people to transport them in the middle of the night."

Wei Ying smiled, "If you sell it, you can earn more than 20 taels. Don't worry, such a big imperial court has such a wide land in the south, east, west, and north. Even if half of the country is hit by disasters, there is still a lot of money left." The other half. And the past few years were good years, and the various yamen also saved some food. Before that, because King Ning's army was deployed in various places, the land and water transportation was not smooth. Now the court is gradually recovering the lost land, and the transportation is also convenient. The capital is the most important thing. The emperor ordered to protect the capital first. Officials who were unable to raise food were dismissed on the spot, and their deputies were replaced. No matter how incompetent the deputies were, the third in command was appointed until someone could raise enough food. Many imperial envoys went out to take charge Grain collection is underway. The imperial court will soon arrive with the grain dispatched from various places. In less than ten days, the porridge market will be up and running."

"It's more or less the same." Shen Ji finally felt relieved, she had already discussed the escape route with Mr. Wang.So I tried to run to Huainan, where the imperial court is still, but the road will be more difficult and dangerous.But when they go back, at least they still have so many farm shops, so they won't starve to death.

Everyone saw Shen Ji confidently asking people to carry food out every day. Although the porridge became thinner and thinner due to more and more people, the food was somewhat inexhaustible.Even when the court’s porridge field was set up, the victims said that the court’s porridge was thicker than Wei’s, and when they went to the porridge field to drink porridge, there were still more than 100 bags of grain in the warehouse.

Only Manager Hong, who knew the inside story, kept sweating. The 100-odd bags contained rocks.

The [-] people who stayed in Hot Spring Zhuangzi for a few months at the beginning still wanted to stay. No matter whether they worked or not, Mrs. Wei was quite sympathetic to them.She saved their lives.Everyone thought about taking care of her home and nursing home in this troubled world.They have heard from the later victims that tens of thousands of people starved to death inside and outside the capital.

Shen Ji smiled wryly, "Follow me." He led the crowd into the grain depot, "Boss Hong, let someone open it for them to see."

Bags of stones were poured out, and everyone was dumbfounded.Even Little Sesame and Little Bun were stunned.

"I only have eleven bags of grain. If the court's porridge market is closed, I won't be able to last for three days. So, you should also go to the porridge market to drink porridge. We have been together for the past four months. When we meet on the street, You can just say hello to me."

"Madam Wei!" A little daughter-in-law cried out, then knelt down to kowtow to Shen Ji, and the people around her followed suit.

Shen Ji waved his hand, "Don't do this, I won't keep everyone here. It is said that I saved everyone, but in fact, if it weren't for the unity of will, this village would have been ruined long ago, and there would be nothing left."

Knowing that Shen Ji couldn't keep anyone anymore, everyone came to say goodbye one by one, insisting on kowtowing to her, "Mrs. Wei, we probably don't have a chance to repay you, so please accept these heads. I will definitely give it to you in the future." An Changsheng Tablet, may the Bodhisattva bless you with a smooth and healthy life."

In the end, the monks from Banshan Temple also came to say goodbye.They also took out the cotton in the general quilt and stuffed it in single clothes to survive the winter.The seventy or eighty female workers took care of all these jobs.

The last ones left are Wei Ying and Shen Ji's family, the little prince, Master Jiaye and Dan Zhufuye, Wei Bo's family and the family's servants, and Shen Ji's godmother's family.Two thousand catties of grain is enough for them to eat for two or three months.Let's see what will happen in two or three months.Wait for the grain to be sold on the market, and then try to sell some.

Shen sent someone to send Wei Ying a bag of grain, pickled chicken, duck, beef, mutton, pork, and some pickled vegetables, so that he would not look like he was released from prison the next time Xiu Mu came back.Look at that day, I was so hungry that I didn't care about the dignity of scholars, even though it was only in front of her.

Xu Mao and Chen Shi also came here with their sons, saying that if Shen Ji hadn't lent 150 people that day, their son might have disappeared.Xu Yun even came over to bow to Shen Ji.

"Hey, why are our two families grateful? Otherwise, you can take care of the family members of the eight deceased."

Xu Mao and Chen Shi nodded, "Of course." Xu Mao was very competent this time, and the emperor praised him greatly.It's just that all the big households in the capital offended him.

Shen Ji laughed and said that he hadn't played a song for 18 years, and a song would naturally shake the world.

Xu Mao wiped his forehead, "I'm worried every day, that position is full of thorns."

That night when Wei Ying was full and warm, she naturally thought about what she should think about, and fell asleep after she was satisfied.However, Shen Ji couldn't fall asleep because of his ups and downs. Thinking of how hard he was working on the paperwork and didn't bother him, he put on his clothes and got up and went out for a walk.It looks like the situation is already under the emperor's control, which is good.At least there will be no money that cannot buy things.However, I heard that many banks in the capital have collapsed.Fortunately, Wei Ying reminded herself, otherwise the more than [-] taels of banknotes would have been wasted.

Someone outside the door asked, "Is grandma asleep?" It was Manager Hu's voice.

The woman who guarded the door took a look at the room, it was pitch black, "Go to bed early, my father will take a rest tomorrow, I don't dare to disturb you."

"I haven't slept yet, what's the matter?" Shen Ji walked over.

Manager Hu glanced at the lantern in the old woman's hand, and turned his head quickly.

Shen Ji was taken aback for a moment, she didn't intend to come out, so although her clothes were neat, her hair was loose.She was ashamed, and her voice was a little displeased, "What's the matter?" She still came to disturb at this hour.

Manager Hu didn't dare to raise his head again, "I caught two people who eloped at night, and because they didn't dare to disturb others, the younger one came by himself."

"Who is it?" There were so many men and women living in Zhuangzi before, because they couldn't get enough to eat, and the houses of men and women were far apart, so this kind of thing didn't happen.

"It's grandma's sister-in-law, Mrs. Lin and the groom of the Lin family. Mrs. Lin said that grandma will definitely hold her hand high, so let me tell you in silence." Based on her understanding of Shen Ji, especially because she refused to take those seven Eighty women who were wasting food were thrown out. Manager Hu thought it was very possible, so he went there himself.
