Yang Zhengsong did not intend to actually go to the county bookstore to pick up the books and copy them. Although this job seemed to make a lot of money, copying so many books at once would not only be tiring, but also tiring on the hands. It was not cost-effective.
He wanted to get some money and cross the road before the drought came, so that he could store more food and help the people in his clan in the future.
They have taken inventory at home, and they still have quite a lot of things left, but some of the rice and noodles are all polished rice noodles, which are very different in color from the ones here, and are not suitable for taking out at all.
If you want to help your tribe, you have to do it when you are safe.
There was actually quite a lot of silver and banknotes seized from the men in black that day. The silver coins alone were more than twenty taels. The two banknotes wrapped in oil paper were each worth 100 taels. At present,
He doesn't need this yet, but he wants to disguise himself and change all those banknotes into silver and put them in the space to be safer.
After all, if a dynasty really changes, the first things to be replaced will be banknotes and copper coins. Gold and silver will not change.
Anyway, they have a place to carry it with them, so they won’t be burdened by changing any amount.
However, with the serious business of copying books, I will go to the city more often, and it will be easy to exchange some money.
Due to the low water level at the dock, many large cargo ships cannot get here. Every day, there are fewer and fewer people waiting for work at the dock.
The village chief simply told them not to go, and asked them to go up the mountain with Liu Dexin and Yang Xiuwen. They could search for as many things as they could, and they would not go bad if they were stored at home in this kind of weather. They had to be more or less prepared for the drought.
.
We still have to go into the mountains to look for a place to live temporarily. There has been too little snow this year, and the water pools in Yezhu Slope have dried up, making the elderly in the village very worried.
Ms. Lu Qingshang was also infected by this worried atmosphere. Just as she was worrying, the little girl told them another explosive news.
After dinner last night, the family was sitting and chatting. In the past few days, Yang Xiuwen and Yang Jinwen had been running up and down the mountain with their uncles in the village. They had eaten almost all the food they could.
Yang Xiuwen originally wanted to take them with him, but he found the hot spring place, but when everyone heard it was there, they all shook their heads and waved their hands, not daring to go there.
Everyone in the village knows that there are tigers there. When an old hunter took his son to hunt, his son was killed by a tiger. After so many years, who knows how many tigers there are?
It's not worth risking your life just for a little knowledge.
Yang Zhengsong's family thought it was just a drought, but they never expected to see them like this. They wanted to find a temporary place to live here. Yang Yuqing could only explain the reason why she had to leave here.
"Second brother, let's find a time to take the village chief's uncle to dig out all the sweet potatoes in the valley! Those can't be kept. You must know that the book says that the whole village is fleeing, not just because of drought.
There is another reason.
The place where they are now belongs to Song County, which is under the jurisdiction of Ping Province. This place is the fiefdom of King Yu, the fifth son of the current emperor. The emperor is already old, and nine of his ten sons have reached adulthood.
Well, the old emperor still refuses to establish a prince because his favorite son is the youngest fifteenth prince, and the current fifteenth prince is not the legitimate youngest son born to the queen, but an illegitimate son who was secretly replaced by the old emperor.
The Marquis we met that day was the biological brother of the illegitimate son. Because of their mother's relationship, the young Marquis could be said to have walked sideways in the Marquis Mansion, because the Emperor would support him, even his father, the Marquis
I don’t dare to do anything to him?
The real fifteenth prince was tortured in the Hou Mansion and almost died in the lotus pond of the Hou Mansion. If his biological brother, the eldest prince King Chu, passed by when he was attending a banquet and saved his life, he would have died.
He won't live to adulthood at all.
However, the emperor's favorite woman was afraid that the two brothers would recognize each other, so she sent the fifteenth prince, who was still ill, to a remote village without any servants.
Later, it was reported that the second son of the old marquis died of illness, but the villain at the end of this book is this prince.
Around the Qingming Festival this year, King Yu will raise an army to rebel, trying to seize the throne when the old emperor is old. This war will last for six years. During these six years, the people in King Yu's fiefdom will suffer the most, with successive years of drought.
, Coupled with the increasingly heavy taxes and miscellaneous taxes, the people were unable to survive, and countless people died of starvation on the road." Yang Yuqing has not experienced those painful things, and the descriptions in the book are still pale.
"I don't know if it's too late to leave now, and I have to drag my whole family to another prince's fiefdom, and people may not accept it. There are such a large village of people, how can they just leave?
"Yang Zhengsong was a little worried. You must know that the ancient fiefdom management system was quite strict, and it was not that simple to change a place to stay.
But when you think about natural disasters plus man-made disasters, you can imagine how sad those days will be.
"Dad, aren't there still those men in black who were buried near the cave? We can use those people to make a fuss and tell the village chief and clan chief that the information was obtained from the mouths of these men in black. Both of them have already done this
Now that we are old, we must know what to choose. Let’s wait for them to make a decision.” Yang Jinwen felt that the valley was actually quite good, and it occupied a larger area than their village.
And if they live there and don't have to pay taxes on what they grow, will these villagers live better? It's only for six years. It's okay to come out again after the war outside is over.
Moreover, to start a rebellion, you must recruit strong men from among these people. Their two brothers are just the right age.
That night, Yang Zhengsong sneaked to the village chief's house with his two sons. Within a quarter of an hour, the village chief and his son followed the three of them to the patriarch's house.
The old patriarch was also frightened when he heard about the men in black, but he still decided to go and see for himself the man in black that Yang Zhengsong and the others were talking about.
Early the next morning, while he asked people to go to the city to call his son and grandson back, he took several strong young men from the village into the mountains together. Yang Xiuwen also took the village chief and the old patriarch to see them.
to the valley they found.
This place is very secretive, and it is easy to defend but difficult to attack. But since you want to escape from the outside world, you must ensure that everyone who is following you can work together. In their current situation, if someone reports them, the whole clan will be affected.
