The whole family escaped from famine and accidentally occupied land

The night when rain hits the banana leaves is the perfect time for us to have a conversation.

Tiemu talked about many things that happened in Lianzhou City. Not only did Bai Jingzhi and her daughter not sleep, but the other female members of the family also lost their desire to sleep.

"Prince Li is so greedy, and the Emperor doesn't care?"

Old Lady Bai had been following Old Man Bai around for a few years and had been influenced by him so she knew something about the princes of the Dazhuang Dynasty.

The late emperor was fertile and had dozens of sons.

Excluding those who died in infancy, there were more than twenty who survived to adulthood.

The late emperor divided fiefdoms among these sons. Except for seven or eight who died when he fought for the throne, the rest are living well in their fiefdoms.

"Old sister, you are behind the times!" Tie's mother patted the back of Old Lady Bai's hand, "We are all family now, I will chat with you for a while."

Although the Tie family is a family of merchants and craftsmen, they come into contact with not only ordinary people but also people of special identities.

Those people were in disguise, and many of them were soldiers stationed on the border.

The Tie family also learned a lot of information from them.

For several consecutive years, the south has been suffering from either floods, droughts, or locust plagues. This has been going on for several years in a row.

There were originally more than a dozen vassal kings in the south. Because of these constant disasters, the number of refugees doubled, and the population was lost, the emperor seized the opportunity to reduce the power of the vassal kings.

Now there are only four vassal kings left, each ruling a different part of their own.

The Prince of Yuzhou was named Jiang Zhi, and his fief was in the north. He had two sons and two daughters, as well as several illegitimate children.

The King of Yanzhou is named Jiang Ye. His fief is in the west. He currently has two sons and one daughter.

The King of Mingzhou was named Jiang Yan. His fief was in the south and he had countless children.

The King of Li in Lianzhou was named Jiang Can. His fiefdom was in the east and he had countless children.

The vassal kings whose fiefdoms were connected to Prince Li's had already been stripped of their fiefdoms.

Originally, only the fiefdoms of the previously reduced princes were severely affected by the disaster. Starting this year, the territories of these four princes were also affected.

In terms of the extent of the disaster, Prince Xian and Prince Yan suffered the least.

"If that's the case, shouldn't those refugees be heading for Yanzhou and Yuzhou? Why are they targeting Lingzhou?"

The information revealed by Tiemu gave Bai Jingzhi a one-sided understanding of the Dazhuang Dynasty.

Among the four existing princes, the status of Prince Xian is unclear, while the other three princes have already started competing.

If these people are determined to kill all the emperor's descendants, the Dazhuang Dynasty will be in chaos!

"Lingzhou has always been blessed with good weather and good harvests. Prince Li has been eyeing it for a long time. This time, the prince of Yan disappeared and there was a lot of fuss over there to find him, so Prince Li sent troops directly."

The information that Tiemu had about Lingzhou was obtained by her second son Tie Yushan in the dungeon of Prince Li's Mansion.

Tie Yushan was captured and taken to Prince Li's mansion. Prince Li's real intention was to learn from the Tie family's forging skills.

It happened that Prince Li was sending troops and the guards of the dungeon were lax, so Tie Yushan was able to find out some information.

Unfortunately, after he got out, his entire family died because of him and his health also broke down.

If Tiemu and Tie Yuling had not received the news on their way back from burning incense, they would have been doomed.

After the three of them gathered together, they fled Lianzhou overnight.

At that time, Lianzhou had already begun to fall into chaos.

The number of refugees is increasing. If we don’t handle it properly, Lianzhou will be in danger.

But within two days, the number of refugees in Lianzhou had greatly decreased.

The Tie family, mother and son, followed the direction of the refugees and came to Taiming Mountain together.

There were good and bad people among the refugees, and the mother and her two children met the second wife of the Tie family.

I thought it was a reunion of family, but it turned out to be a wolf's den.

If it weren't for Bai Jingzhi and his daughter, the Tie family's mother and son would not be alive.

After hearing these complaints, Bai Jingzhi lost interest.

"Come here, sister of the Tie family, take your worthless pearl necklace. Your good days are still to come!"

Old Mrs. Bai sometimes speaks harshly, but she is very good at coaxing people.

The three old ladies gathered together and talked lively.

Bai Jingzhi's mind was empty, and he was constantly deducing the most favorable outcome for them.

There were often wars in Yanzhou and Yuzhou, and Mingzhou and Lianzhou were obviously not good places to go.

In comparison, the barren land in the northeast is actually the best choice.

Zhou Yue'e stood by, not daring to disturb Bai Jingzhi's thoughts. She simply watched her mother and aunt busy themselves.

Wei Hongmian took time to massage Bai Meidong's acupoints to relieve her discomfort.

"Aunt, why don't you teach me this technique? My grandmother is old and not strong enough, so I'll do it from now on."

In the past few days, Bai Meidong's health has improved significantly.

Zhou Yue'e was born on an auspicious day. In order to hunt good fur for her, her grandfather went into the mountains when the weather was bad.

When Zhou Wen went to look for him, Mr. Zhou was already dying.

There were wounds on his body, and lying next to him was the body of a half-grown tiger.

When Mr. Zhou was carried back, he had already died.

Old Mrs. Zhou, who was already weak, fell ill and fell on the bed, unable to get up.

Bai Meidong had just given birth at that time and was still weak, so she had to take care of her two children by herself.

Her health completely collapsed at that time. She could no longer have children and was left with a lot of illnesses.

Especially postpartum metrorrhagia is the most embarrassing.

By the time everything settled down, Zhou Yue'e had also passed her full moon.

That day a woman stayed overnight and discovered Zhou Yue'e.

The man directly concluded that Zhou Yue'e should not stay at home before she was sixteen years old, otherwise the family would have difficulty making money and her relatives would suffer from constant illness.

Bai Meidong couldn't bear to leave her child and refused to allow the man to take Zhou Yue'e away.

The person then left an address so that the Zhou family could contact her at any time if she changed her mind.

The Zhou family didn't believe it at first, until their house collapsed in a very small storm, Zhou Wen broke his leg, and Zhou Fang almost drowned. Only then did the Zhou family believe it.

Zhou Yue'e was only four years old when the Zhou family suffered constant disasters, both big and small.

Seeing that her son and grandson were constantly suffering from disasters, Old Lady Zhou wanted to send Zhou Yue'e to the mountains to let her fend for herself.

At this point, even if Bai Meidong was reluctant, she could only look for the female master from that day.

It has been ten years since Zhou Yue'e passed away.

She was supposed to come back next year, but she showed up a year early, and Old Mrs. Zhou was talking behind her back again.

Zhou Wen also tried to persuade his mother many times, but it was of little use.

Until one night, a wolf appeared in the house. Zhou Wen and his son were not at home, and only the three women were at home.

Old Mrs. Zhou thought it was over and her tears were already falling to the ground.

Zhou Yue'e was awakened, went out with her sword and disappeared into the darkness.

Old Mrs. Zhou angrily cursed Zhou Yue'e in the room and called her a jinx. Bai Meidong was anxious and wanted to persuade Old Mrs. Zhou, but unfortunately, this stubborn old lady would not be persuaded no matter what she did.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yue'e came back from outside. Old Mrs. Zhou wanted to curse a few more times, but when she saw the bleeding sword in Zhou Yue'e's hand, she shut up completely.

From then on, Bai Meidong could no longer have peace of mind.

Old Mrs. Zhou didn't dare to look for Zhou Yue'e openly, and could only instigate Bai Meidong to discipline her.

Later, they followed them to flee famine, and only then did Old Lady Zhou calm down a little.

Bai Meidong sat up and said, "Yu'e, mother is useless. Your aunt and cousin have their own ideas. Listen to them more."

"Got it, mother." Zhou Yue'e used her sword finger to press the acupoint that Wei Hongmian had just pressed. "I will stay with my cousin from now on."

Her destined benefactor is Bai Jingzhi.
