After this incident, Cai Junze still insisted on training and never slacked off.
Moreover, the momentum is even stronger than before!
After all, after going through this incident, he felt more and more that it was extremely important to develop a good body and good skills.
In this way, at least, you can stand up when something happens!
When he took his son to the Prince's Mansion to study, he also expressed his gratitude to Li Fangming.
Thank him for asking County Magistrate Pang to bring people to support them.
Li Fangming said calmly, "My servants outside reported seeing a large group of refugees heading towards your village. I was worried that they might be targeting your village, so I contacted the county magistrate and asked him to take some people to check it out."
"Fortunately, everything happened in time."
"I'm glad you're all right."
In fact, it was the people he arranged to secretly protect Cai Junze who discovered this matter and then came back to report it.
Cai Junze didn't know how to thank him except to say some words of gratitude to him.
He was also a little embarrassed about this.
Because he is always helping them.
But I can rarely help him.
There's nothing we can do about this!
Who can blame them for being royal relatives?
What he has, everyone else has!
What he doesn’t have, others have!
By the way, this incident in the village had never happened in Liu Shulin's previous life.
It is also easy to understand. In the previous life, the villagers of Changhe Village did not hoard food, so naturally no one would target their village.
Moreover, at that time, Niu Jiashi was still with Lu Qingyan.
After this incident, Niu Jiashi has been missing.
No one knows where he went.
People often go to his house and wait to see when he will come back.
As soon as he comes back, catch him!
As a result, I kept waiting!
One day, two days...a month passed, and he didn't come back.
"It seems that he will not come back."
"He probably knew we were waiting for him to come back, so he didn't dare to come back."
"Oh, it's really frustrating to let him get away like this!"
In a blink of an eye, it’s October.
I've been hearing news of people starving to death lately.
There were some before, but not as many as recently.
The consequences of the drought have reached an extreme point. All the edible things in the mountains have been eaten up, and the further we go, the harder it is to find food.
Many mountains are bare.
Being plundered!
There are also disaster impacts!
In Jingliu County, the Prince's Mansion began to distribute porridge.
For a while, many people gathered in the county town, asking for porridge.
"Brother Junze, do you think the drought will really stop next year?" Li Fangming asked.
"Well... I don't know either," Cai Junze said. "Judging from the current situation, there's no sign of the drought stopping. But my mother told me that the fortune teller said the drought would only last two years, and that it would rain in the spring of the third year. The last snowstorm was predicted to happen, so this time, I guess, there won't be any problems either, right?"
Li Fangming said, "I hope what the fortune teller said is true. If this famine continues like this, who knows how many more people will die."
"By the way, what's the news outside now?" Cai Junze's eyes flashed with curiosity.
"From the information I have, things are still very chaotic," Li Fangming said. "People are rebelling in many places, and it won't be easy to quell this situation."
"These people are rebelling. I'm afraid they're just taking advantage of the chaos to stir up trouble," Cai Junze said. "They're worried the world isn't in chaos enough, so they're adding fuel to the fire."
This chaos was entirely caused by famine.
Of course, the imperial court also bears responsibility.
However, as far as Cai Junze was concerned, under the rule of the Daxu Dynasty, everything was generally good. There was no tyranny, no exorbitant taxes, and the taxes were very simple.
Because the taxes are not high, the treasury of Daxu... naturally does not have too much surplus grain.
Faced with this kind of famine, we are powerless.
Therefore, it can be said that those who took advantage of the famine to rebel were not necessarily at fault for the dynasty, but simply wanted to overthrow the dynasty and sit on the throne themselves...
Cai Junze also had complicated feelings about this.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the province they are in is not in chaos overall.
Perhaps there was no one to lead the rebellion, or there was a lack of someone with appeal, so there were a lot of refugees, but only a few of them were causing trouble.
The provincial capital.
Ji Mansion.
Ji Wufeng went to his father and said, "Dad, I heard that the Prince's Mansion in Jingliu County is giving out porridge. Do you want us to get some too?"
Ji Changlin glanced at him calmly and said, "Although our Ji Mansion has a strong foundation, who knows how long this drought will last? If it continues for a few more years, no matter how strong our foundation is, it will eventually be exhausted. Therefore, I do not propose giving out porridge. At least, we cannot do so at the moment."
Unless, knowing that the drought will soon be over, it is something to consider.
When everything is still uncertain, it is better to think carefully before doing some things.
Ji Changlin is not an aggressive person, and he would not easily do something like providing porridge as a relief.
Hearing his father say this, a trace of loss flashed across Ji Wufeng's eyes, but it disappeared in a flash.
At the same time, in his heart, he also admired the Prince's Mansion.
The Ji family's wealth is many times richer than that of the Prince's Mansion, but... the Ji family doesn't dare to distribute porridge, but the Prince's Mansion doesn't care about that. They just distribute porridge when necessary and don't care at all what to do if the disaster continues for a few more years.
