He quickly asked the man: "What do you mean almost? How come we don't even have a place to live? Is there a war on the border?"
Jiang Ci frowned. The original owner was an out-and-out peasant girl who didn't care about national affairs at all.
And Jiang Ci had such incredible speculations only because he had studied history.
"You know?" Shen Shuxuan's expression changed.
Looking at how dark Jiang Ci's pupils were,
"No, no, no, I don't know! How would I know?" Jiang Ci hurriedly shook his head and buried his head in the bowl of water.
Shen Shuxuan did not continue to investigate.
"You are right. If the general guarding the border surrenders to the enemy, the enemy will attack soon. It may take as long as one year or as short as three months."
Jiang Ci murmured to himself: "War?"
In modern times, Jiang Ci saw from history books that the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China, and in modern times the Japanese invaded China. Jiang Ci was deeply aware of the power of war. The war was in chaos, and the people were displaced and displaced.
"Not only! There will be droughts and locust plagues. Not only will the people not be able to harvest food next summer, our emperor will also increase the tax burden on farmers in order to support the front line. Under heavy pressure, people in dozens of nearby counties will immediately change. Become a refugee, fleeing everywhere!"
Shen Shuxuan's words were as plain as water,
Jiang Ci broke into a cold sweat after hearing this,
She lived in a peaceful era, but she also knew the power of war and drought. Under famine, the entire land was barren of grass, and starvation was everywhere wherever she went!
Not only fertile fields will turn into wasteland, and drought-stricken areas, but also mountain rivers and jungle streams will be sucked dry. The rivers will reveal their original appearance, with no water source and only flying dust.
And war is even more terrifying. During famine, one can also eat clay, tree bark, sweet potato vines, non-toxic insects, leaves, grass roots, cotton shells, Chinese medicine roots, cotton sheaths, and the same kind of corpses to temporarily wrap the belly.
When war breaks out, all the people will become victims of the enemy's sword.
"But...but won't the emperor send us food for disaster relief?"
"Disaster relief? Our emperor is busy building the Beiyang Fleet, not to mention providing disaster relief and food. He not only ignores it, but even allows local officials to take the opportunity to collude with local wealthy businessmen to make a lot of money from the disaster."
Shen Shuxuan sneered,
Jiang Ci's face paled. The people suffered such a huge disaster and the rulers did nothing. All that awaits the people is death!
"Aren't there any loyal people in the court who can speak out and give advice?"
"Huh... A loyal person? He has long been exiled or executed on various charges. The person in charge of the current dynasty has long been rotten!"
The ends of Shen Shuxuan's eyes were red, emitting a bloodthirsty light.
Jiang Ci was greatly shocked. She just thought that she had the ability to take people home anyway. She never expected that there would be so many series of disasters later.
"After hearing this, do you regret taking this person home?"
Shen Shuxuan looked cold,
Jiang Ci shook his head firmly: "I don't regret it! I will regret it if I don't take them back!"
Shen Shuxuan's expression was half-bright and half-ambiguous,
Jiang Ci looked calm: "Without me, if they don't take them back, they will die in this war sooner or later. Follow me, and I will try every means to find a way for them to survive."
"What are you doing for? It would be much better if you were alone."
Shen Shuxuan has never been so eager to understand someone,
Are there really people in this world who are not selfish?
"I don't do anything. Don't you think it's good for our family to be reunited?" Jiang Ci raised his eyebrows.
Show a bright smile,
Today she discovered that she actually likes the family to be lively and lively.
Every day when she goes to town, someone misses her and often reminds her to put on more clothes. She is called "sister-in-law" and "sister-in-law" all day long, which makes her even feel that she likes such excitement, and suddenly she feels dependent!
Unlike before, as soon as she turned off her phone, it seemed that no matter how busy the surroundings were, no one cared about her.
Shen Shuxuan looked at Jiang Ci's smile and said nothing more.
But Jiang Ci suddenly looked pained and patted the man on the shoulder: "You should have told me earlier! If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have bought those streets on North Street. Five thousand taels of silver. How much food can I buy, hiss~"
The corners of Shen Shuxuan's lips raised slightly: "You can earn so much, why do you think you care about this mere few thousand taels of silver?"
"Of course I'm interested! I earned all that money by working hard!"
This woman had been spending money lavishly before. He thought this woman didn't care about money, but it was rare to see a woman like this.
Shen Shuxuan smiled slightly: "Those thousand taels of silver were spent not in vain. When the war is over, North Street will become a transportation hub for waterways, and there will be a large number of merchants coming and going. If you want to sell something, That place couldn’t be better.”
Only then did Jiang Ci feel some comfort:
"When will the war be settled?"
Shen Shuxuan hesitated for a moment, then half-smiled and said, "It's only about ten years!"
Ten years? Jiang Ci felt a thunderbolt hit his head.
Could it be said that she will be on the run for more than ten years?
At that time, it was not certain whether she would survive or not!
Even if she lives, there are no airplanes or high-speed trains in ancient times. If she doesn't settle here, won't the North Street industry be completely ruined?
"Master, I really have a clever plan, and the mooncake fillings are really perfect for you."
Shen Shuxuan was silent for a moment: "What's the filling of my mooncake?"
He took a bite and found that the filling was completely black. He didn't want to eat it again, but the last bite left a long aftertaste in his mouth.
Some couldn't hold it back and ate the whole moon cake.
Jiang Ci smiled charmingly, her pear dimples sunk slightly, her graceful eyes were full of smiles,
Moreover, the woman was so close to him, Shen Shuxuan was stunned for a moment.
“It’s stuffed with black sesame seeds!”
If it were more accurate, this man really looked like a black sesame glutinous rice dumpling. He looked like a clear breeze and bright moon on the outside, but inside he lurked a huge beast.
After Jiang Ci finished speaking, he covered himself with the quilt and fell asleep.
Shen Shuxuan, on the other hand, curled his lips and took a rest with his back to the woman.
……………………
After three days of rest, Shen Shuxuan set off for Fucheng to conduct the "rural examination", while Shen Yunhe also went to the medicine hall to continue his apprenticeship.
The "Sugar Factory" has also been established. If Jiang Ci wanted to control the use of beets before, after all, the origin of this sweet tea is really hard to explain.
But when he thought about the disasters that would follow immediately, Jiang Ci didn't care anymore.
After all, the beets will not be needed for a long time on the way out!
It is conceivable that the sugar factory was sold out as soon as it was launched, so with Jiang Ci's consent, twenty more people were recruited into the workshop. Even though the sugar produced was still not enough, Jiang Ci did not plan to expand the number of employees. Already.
However, Jiang Ci continued to supply "Jinxiu Restaurant", and the supply of cantaloupes was still 500 kilograms per day, which was in short supply.
Since Sun Youcai and Sun Guanjia knew the sweetness of selling fruits,
