Farm girls should not be bullied
Chapter 146 The situation is out of control
As for Jiang Yudie lying on the ground, she seemed to have been forgotten.
Imperial Physician Zhang also had his own little plans in mind. This girl's medical skills were extraordinary. Although he came here to see a doctor, he still thought that if there was a chance, he would like to discuss medical skills with the girl.
Now that the girl was in good health, his chance had come, so he happily stayed. As for the annoying Jiang Yudie, he hadn't brought her here, so he wouldn't rush to care about her life or death.
Hao Zhuzhu told her family about the several sweet potato fields and potato fields she had set up in the deep mountains when she just returned.
The rest of the work was naturally done by the brothers.
As for her elder brother's thoughtful look, Hao Zhuzhu simply chose to ignore it.
Shangguan Xu finally saw a little improvement as Hao Zhuzhu's supply was fully available.
Although it will not defeat the enemy immediately, it can prevent our own people from going to the battlefield hungry and becoming innocent victims of other people's swords.
Food is of utmost importance to an army. If there is no food, you can imagine what the outcome will be.
They don't even need the enemy to attack them. They can starve themselves to the point of being weak and dizzy. Why would they need to be attacked? At that time, they are just fish on the chopping board, waiting to be slaughtered at will.
In fact, the enemies on the opposite side really hold such a mentality to some extent, because it is an indisputable fact that the national treasury is empty.
Coupled with the damage caused by the flood, the already empty treasury of the imperial court was made even worse.
The princes chose this time to revolt after careful consideration.
They just wanted to take advantage of the fact that the new emperor had no food and no money to deal him a fatal blow.
But now with Hao Zhuzhu's involvement, the situation has changed significantly.
What could have been successful quickly has now turned into a stalemate among several parties.
Now the princes were in a very uncomfortable situation, but they had already walked the path and there was no turning back. They could only grit their teeth and endure it.
The war was like a tug-of-war, with a fight breaking out from time to time. Although it was not very intense, it still caused indelible harm to the people living nearby.
A good country is like a canoe floating on the sea, floating up and down, as if it will disappear at any time.
Hao Zhuzhu is not idle every day. Now this mountain is a rare pure land.
Now even the people in the village are in panic, with many relatives and refugees fleeing here.
The family, which was not wealthy to begin with, became even more miserable.
When relatives come to live with them, they can't just drive them away with a cold face, so they can only grit their teeth and take them in.
They could still bear it for a day or two, but the war showed no sign of stopping, and some families just couldn't survive.
There were even people selling their children, and even worse, some even sold themselves.
Even the bark of the trees on the mountain had almost been stripped off.
The situation is becoming increasingly out of control.
Every day, Hao Zhuzhu listened to the news brought back by her people, and her beautiful eyebrows were always tightly furrowed.
"These grain merchants are so unscrupulous. How can the price of grain grow so abnormally? Do they want to force the people to death?" Several people from the Hao Liu family were also there. When they heard the man's news, they immediately jumped up in anger and cursed.
Brown rice used to cost 15 wen per jin, but now it costs 45 wen per jin. White rice used to cost 30 wen per jin, but now it costs 75 wen per jin. White flour used to cost 20 wen per jin, but now it costs 50 wen per jin.
In the past, the price of grain was so high that the people could only afford brown rice to survive. Even brown rice was not enough to eat, but now it is simply not affordable! How can the people survive? It is no wonder that Mrs. Hao Liu was so angry.
After hearing this, Hao Zhuzhu fell into silence.
Liang Shang's action was indeed inappropriate, and she began to think silently in her heart.
Since these people have a lot of food at home, it shouldn't be too difficult for her to borrow some!
After all, they wanted to make money from the national disaster, and she just gave them an opportunity to do so without having to make money from the national disaster.
Does this count as indirectly saving these people? The imperial court is too busy to deal with them now, so what if the war is over?
These people will definitely suffer the consequences, and before they make a big mistake, Hao Zhuzhu feels that she should give them a chance to turn back.
"Zhuzhu! How many days will it take you to come back? Regardless of whether you can find food or not, can you come back once in the middle to report your safety to your mother?" This time, when Mrs. Hao Liu heard that her daughter was going into the mountains to look for food again, she did not stop her, but expressed her concern in a tactful way.
The price of food outside is still high now, and there are even signs of it rising.
Their whole family, including inside and outside, has more than a hundred people! The amount of food they need is not a small amount. They are not short of acquaintances at present, but it will be difficult to guarantee it in the long run.
My daughter said that going to look for food is the most important thing to support us.
She could still distinguish the importance of things, but she still felt heartbroken and worried.
My daughter is only nine years old! But it's strange.
It seems that only my daughter can find the food in this mountain.
Even if other people found it, it would be sporadic and not many at all.
Only Zhuzhu could find a relatively large number of sweet potatoes and potatoes, so they automatically attributed this to the fact that Hao Zhuzhu was a very lucky person.
So Hao Zhuzhu went out to find food, and even though her family was worried, they couldn't stop her.
"Mom! I've been out here many times, and you see I came back safe and sound that time.
Besides, you saw it too, even the tigers and wild boars in this mountain were killed by my daughter and brought back, right?
You said there could be something big in the mountains that could threaten me.
You don't have to worry. I will try to find more food this time, so that I can stay out of the mountains for a long time." Hao Zhuzhu said one more sentence before Hao Liushi could stop her.
When Mrs. Hao Liu heard her daughter say this, she thought about it.
It seemed to be just as her daughter said. She still remembered the scene of her daughter, whose tiny stature showed her carrying a 200-pound tiger back with her!
My daughter looked like a tiny thing standing next to the big tiger. If she stood behind the big tiger, the people in front of it probably wouldn't be able to see her.
It was such a small person who dragged the big tiger back with such ease.
She was almost frightened to death at that time, but this little girl was still grinning at her with her big teeth bared, without any fear!
