Dressed as a big boss Bai Yueguang, God does not allow salted fish to lie down

That evening, Su Yuejian, who had some free time, asked the four maids to talk about their respective life stories.

Since they can be sold, they must be in desperate situation and have some reasons.

Working in the Su Mansion, you will never feel hungry. Following Su Yuejian, you can naturally live a better life. Su Yuejian wants to know more about the people around him.

Chunlan comes from the remote northwest region, where the climate has been extremely harsh and drought-stricken in recent years, and almost no crops can grow.

There was no grass left, many people died, and they could not survive, so they were sold by their families to find a way to make a living.

Xia He comes from the water town in the south of the Yangtze River, which should have been a place of abundant resources.

However, last winter, a foot of snow fell where her home was, and the snow lasted for a full forty days!

There were not enough clothes and quilts at home, there were many children, my younger brother was very young, my father was addicted to gambling, and my mother could hardly support the whole family by working as a maid for other people.

The whole family was hungry and cold, so her father sold her.

Qiu Ju came from the more distant Tengdong, where she could originally make a living.

Last year, a locust plague occurred when the crops were about to be harvested. The locusts came in droves and devoured all the crops.

As a result, there was no harvest of grain, nine out of ten houses were empty, and people were eating each other.

Dongmei came from the cold north, where the grain harvest had always been poor, and after paying heavy taxes, the remaining grain was not enough to live on.

The winter was extremely cold and they could only wear tattered linen clothes to keep warm, and many people did not survive.

People were trafficked like two-legged sheep. These poor people were sold according to their body parts, and the prices were even lower than pork.

They were sold to human traffickers because they had no other way to make a living.

Dongmei's mother advised her to accept her fate, saying that if she was sold to a trafficker, she would still have a chance to survive, but if she was caught by those evil people, she might end up on the chopping block the next day...

The maids all had miserable lives, and they cried when they talked about their life stories.

Su Yuejian hugged the four girls together, intending to help them.

I want to ask what kind of emergency situation caused them to sell their houses.

I didn't expect that I would ask about such a tragic past!

They told a lot of details, and Su Yuejian couldn't bear to listen to them!

Having lived here for two years, Su Yuejian had not suffered much even in Qingfeng Temple.

Su Yuejian had never seen the personal experiences they described before, and it was even harder for her to imagine that they would actually happen to her own people.

After seeing what happened to these girls, Su Yuejian could no longer sit still.

She could understand being poor and having a hard time, but she absolutely could not accept the situation where people were sold by weight according to their body parts and eaten as food!

Su Yuejian felt extremely upset. Living in the same dynasty as her, she had no worries about food and clothing; but those people were even called "two-legged sheep"!

There are such huge differences between people!

These children have all experienced hardships, so they cherish the present day even more.

Su Yue heard with her own ears what the maids had said. Besides feeling sympathy, alarm bells started ringing in her head!

This dynasty was called "Jing", but it had nothing to do with any era she was familiar with.

Before "Jing", there was indeed the prosperous Tang and Song dynasties; and after that, the mysterious "Jing" dynasty came onto the stage of history, leading the way to an unknown fork in the road.

When Su Yuejian examined the handicrafts of this era, from the soft and smooth silk to the exquisite porcelain, each piece showed a level roughly equivalent to that of the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty.

But what about the climate? A question comes to mind: Is the climate of this era also in a mini ice age, like certain periods in history?

The so-called "Little Ice Age" refers to an extremely cold period experienced by the global climate.

As far as I remember, there were four Little Ice Ages in history, and each was accompanied by the fall of four dynasties.

During the Little Ice Age, the weather was extremely cold, and droughts, locust plagues, and plague occurred alternately, leaving countless bones of people frozen to death on the roads.

What’s worse, fathers and sons and husbands and wives ate each other. The scene was horrific and outrageous!

Su Yue's face looked heavy, and a strong sense of worry surged in her heart.

During this period, many places had barren land, drought and little rain, or extremely cold weather.

There is no such thing as death in winter!

Millions of people are on the brink of semi-starvation and starvation!

Su Yuejian, who originally wanted to lie down, felt ashamed of her previous thoughts!

The purpose of studying medicine is to save lives. Since you have so many things in your head, why can't you use them to save them?

If there were high-yield sweet potatoes and corn, perhaps not so many people would be eaten.

Thinking of this, Su Yuejian decided not to stand idly by and to do something with her own strength.

Su Yuejian asked solemnly: "Do you have high-yield crops like sweet potatoes and corn in your hometown?"

The four girls choked with sobs and shook their heads to indicate that they had never heard of it.

Considering that they might be called differently, Su Yuejian quickly drew the appearance of sweet potatoes and corn.

Nanny Qin walked over and looked at it carefully for a moment before saying, "I recognize this and I have some impression of it.

In the past, foreign envoys came to the palace to pay tribute, and the red yam was one of the things they presented. I was lucky enough to see it at that time. It is said that if you eat too much of this thing, you will have an unbearable burning sensation in your heart.

The emperor had no interest in it, and the rest was used to feed the animals in the royal gardens. As for the common people, few people have seen or eaten it. "

After hearing this, Su Yue really wanted to curse!

Such high-yield grain was thrown away just because it was not tasty.

You have to know that in Jing Country, countless people starve to death every moment.

In the court, the dignitaries in gorgeous clothes talked about loyalty and patriotism, but their eyes never reflected the suffering of the lower-class people.

With the mentality of the person in power, it doesn't look like he will be a benevolent ruler who can revive the country.

No one knew that this was a high-yield grain crop. Even if it was made into a delicacy and placed on the tables of those in power, it would be considered just a not-so-palatable dish and would be fed to livestock.

With good medical skills and superb surgical abilities, can you save one, ten, or a hundred people with your personal abilities? Can you save millions or tens of millions of people?

The lives of people who have been saved with great difficulty may not survive the next winter!

If we can expand our influence and use it to interfere with the policies of those in power, will we be able to bring about some changes?

The original Su Yuejian wanted to establish modern medicine, mainly to save himself and others at the same time.

Now Su Yuejian wants to save more energetic people. She has a wish to make this era easier to survive.

If the nest is destroyed, all the eggs will be broken. If they are saved, Su Yuejian and the people she wants to protect can live a peaceful life.

When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake feels responsible.
