A massive famine! The whole family travels through time together, and with their spatial abilities,

Su Yunhai quickly handed the merchant documents to the soldier and secretly slipped him a large bag of loose silver.

The soldier raised his eyebrows slightly and openly weighed the silver in his hand.

I estimate it's about a hundred taels of silver. I didn't expect this fatso to be so generous.

The captain of the soldiers tossed the silver to his subordinates behind him with satisfaction. Looking at the long line behind him, he then asked, "Why is there such a large discrepancy between the number of people in your caravan and the actual number?"

Su Yunhai quickly nodded and bowed, explaining, "Sir, you know how chaotic the world is these days. We carried a lot of food, and if we hadn't hired more bodyguards, we wouldn't have made it this far."

The soldier captain had a mocking smile on his lips and said nothing more.

"Alright, hurry up and get into the city. Remember to bring the supplies to the government office for registration."

"Alright, sir, we will hand it all over!" Su Yunhai put away the merchant documents and quickly led his team into the city.

The team successfully entered the city, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could even breathe a sigh of relief, they were escorted to the government office by a team of hundreds of soldiers.

The officials in the government office did not expect that such a large merchant caravan would arrive this time, and that it would bring so many supplies!

There were more than 5,000 catties of grain alone, and the other cured meats added up to 3,000 catties.

Not only that!

They discovered that there were even dried vegetables and eggs in the car!

Even the mules and horses these people feed are so strong, brave and extraordinary!

These are all supplies that their military camp desperately needs!

Su Yunhai was reluctant to hand over the supplies, but he couldn't enter the city without doing so!

But to everyone's surprise, their carriages and horses were also seized by the government.

finally.

The government only gave Su Yunhai one thousand taels of silver.

In other words.

The government shamelessly forced the purchase of these supplies!

Su Yunhai felt frustrated, but there was nothing he could do.

Shen Shuli had been holding back a lot of anger for a long time.

Shen Shuli wouldn't care so much if she lost this batch of supplies.

Anyway, all these food and supplies were purchased for free.

But she felt sorry for those carriages and horses!

They were all nourished by her using the spiritual vegetables, fruits, and water from her space, one meal at a time!

A horse can sell for at least five hundred taels of silver!

These soldiers actually detained them by force!

Shen Shuli clenched her teeth in anger.

If that's the case, then don't blame her for taking action.

Su Yunhai quickly led his team away.

Many villagers were indignant, as that grain was their staple food!

The government actually bought them all at such a low price!

Su Yunhai knew everyone was angry and was worried that some hot-tempered people might cause trouble.

He quickly reassured everyone, "Don't worry, the soldiers said we can buy supplies freely in the city."

"Let's go and replenish our food supplies now."

The villagers' anger subsided somewhat after hearing this.

There are too many people in the team.

Su Yunhai couldn't take so many people to purchase supplies, so he thought he should settle everyone down first.

Seeing this, Gu Changfeng quickly stepped forward and said, "Brother Su, the main branch of my Gu family is in Qinzhou. Why don't I take care of settling everyone in?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunhai was overjoyed and quickly asked, "Brother, can you arrange for so many people? There are quite a few people in our team."

"Sure, my Gu family is quite well-known in Qinzhou. We have several estates in the suburbs, enough to accommodate everyone," Gu Changfeng explained with a smile.

Su Yunhai was surprised to find that the Gu family was quite powerful, so he didn't refuse any longer and immediately asked Gu Changfeng to lead the way.

The city of Qinzhou appeared calm and peaceful.

There was no sense of tension or urgency as if war was imminent.

A mountain villa in the suburbs.

Gu Changfeng smiled and said to Su Yunhai, "Brother Su, you can rest well here. This is my private residence. You can stay as long as you want. Water and food are plentiful. If you wish to settle here, I will do my best to make arrangements."

They successfully returned to Qinzhou Prefecture.

Gu Changfeng's temperament has undergone a noticeable change.

Previously, when they were in the team, the family of five had to rely on the protection of the Su family and kept a very low profile.

Having finally arrived safely in Qinzhou and returned to his home turf, Gu Changfeng visibly breathed a sigh of relief, becoming much more relaxed and confident.

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Gu. We need to purchase a batch of grain as soon as possible. Do you have any connections, Brother Gu?"

Su Yunhai didn't stand on ceremony and quickly pressed for details.

Gu Changfeng nodded and said, "I know. My Gu family also has a grain business. It's just that I haven't been back for a year, so I don't know how things are at home."

"Why don't you rest here at the manor for the night? I'll go home and if there's enough food, I'll send someone to deliver it to the manor."

Su Yunhai was surprised by Gu Changfeng's enthusiasm and thoughtfulness, but he didn't want to take too much advantage of the Gu family.

After thinking for a moment, he said, "Brother Gu, grain prices are so high these days. I can't let you have a hard time at home. Why don't I go back with you? I'll buy the grain at the current price, and I'm sure you won't lose out."

Gu Changfeng was surprised that Su Yunhai was so understanding, and he was very glad to have met such a person.

"Brother Su, there's no need to be so polite with me. Although I'm not home most of the year, I am the eldest son of the Gu family and still have some say in the family. Just let me handle this matter."

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Su Yunhai stopped refusing and nodded in agreement.

After Gu Changfeng and his family of five left, Su Yunhai didn't stop working.

He immediately led fifty able-bodied men down the mountain to inquire about grain prices in the city.

It would be even better if we could take this opportunity to buy more grain.

The others stayed at the estate.

There are two wells in the village, and the water in the wells is plentiful, which shows that there is no shortage of water in Qinzhou Prefecture for the time being.

The villagers can take this opportunity to clean up.

Shen Shuli also took a good shower in her room and changed into clean, comfortable clothes that were easy to move in.

“Mother, I want to go down the mountain and see. The people in the military camp and the government are so greedy. I can’t swallow this anger.”

Shen Shuli said this while she was braiding Shen Yuehua's hair.

Shen Yuehua also felt very sorry for that batch of grain.

She could accept it if the government bought the grain at the current market price.

After all, her daughter risked her life to bring back those supplies.

How could she possibly swallow this insult!

But she was worried that her daughter was in danger.

Anyone with eyes can see that the government officials and the military personnel have long been colluding.

Those supplies must be being watched very closely.

Shen Yuehua was worried that her daughter was in danger.

The thought of these things stung her heart, making her realize that she was still too weak.

They were completely unable to protect their daughter from the wind and rain, or to be her strong support when she was in danger.

It's their incompetence as parents!

"Daughter, please don't take any risks! You're my only precious daughter, so you must always think of me first in everything you do!" Shen Yuehua's eyes reddened slightly.

She wanted to stop her daughter, but she didn't know how to bring it up, so she could only offer a gentle reminder.

Shen Shuli saw that her mother's eyes were red and knew that she was worried about her.

But she is sensible and doesn't act rashly.

I would never joke with my own life!
