Chapter 56 News of sending troops
Lu Jinnian thought about it but still didn't accept it. She had received another piece of land a while ago, so she refused.
"Village head, we have to pay taxes every year anyway, so how about this, how about these be regarded as taxes? Otherwise, I will feel bad if you ask me to pay money at the end of the year." She said with a smile on her face.
So, the village head couldn't force it to pay, after all, taxes must be paid, even if you like a person, you can't be exempted from taxes.
"Okay." The village head nodded, "Then it's almost time to pay it later, I'll give you money, or if you need anything, just tell me."
The two of them agreed, and the village head asked Li Changqing to take her to exchange things with the people in the village.
There was a platform not far away with a gong on it, and usually anything would be said here.
Li Changqing struck the gong and shouted, and soon someone came over.
Seeing the wild boar, everyone knew what was going on, and came to ask how to exchange.
Lu Jinnian didn't want money either, just food, any food would do.
This time, she exchanged a lot of cornmeal and rice, which can be eaten frequently.
White flour is quite rare, and this place is not suitable for growing wheat, so the yield of corn and rice is okay.
After exchanging the things, Lu Jinnian said, "Thank you for your help, Uncle Li."
If Li Changqing hadn't come to watch today, there wouldn't be so many villagers buying it, and maybe the price would have to be lowered.
Li Changqing nodded, said nothing, and turned around and left.
Lifting hundreds of kilograms of food, Lu Jinnian walked home with a relaxed mood. So much food is enough for them to eat for a while.
If they go to the city to buy it, the price will be higher. It is very cost-effective to exchange it here.
With the help of moonlight, Lu Jinnian carried the food back home. Because there are rats in this place, she dare not put it in the kitchen or outside.
After thinking about it, she put the food on the shelf in the living room. Anyway, no one else will come, so it doesn't matter where it is put.
As soon as the food was put away, Lu Jincheng came out of the house.
"Brother, what are you doing?" He asked quietly.
Lu Jinnian didn't light candles or anything like that. "I just went out to exchange food. It's getting late, go to bed."
After saying that, she didn't wait for a reply and went straight into her room.
Recently, Lu Jincheng has been studying and can't sleep well at night. She knows in her heart that this child is under pressure.
But she never said anything. Pressure is motivation, and teenagers can't continue to be comfortable.
Otherwise, Lu Jinnian's retirement will be delayed...
The next morning, someone at home has prepared meals.
Lu Jinxin is responsible for cooking every day, and sometimes Lu Jinnian will cook when someone comes.
As for seasonings, they are never kept in the kitchen.
It's not that Lu Jinnian is stingy, but some of these things can't be made at all, and they are not what they should have now.
So she can only use them secretly, and can't take them out and let everyone use them openly.
"Brother, I want to go to the mountain after dinner." Lu Jinxin ate her meal and expressed her thoughts.
Hearing this, Lu Jinnian frowned and said, "Why go to the mountain? It's too dangerous."
Although there is no danger in the nearby woods, it is spring now. What if you encounter wild animals coming down the mountain to look for food?
"I'm going to check out some wild vegetables or something. I can't stay at home all the time!" Lu Jinxin knew that she was worried about her, but she couldn't just sit there like this.
In the family, except for the eight-year-old Lu Jinqiu who was studying with Lu Jincheng, she was the only one of similar age and couldn't be carefree.
Lu Jinnian thought for a while and said, "I remember you can embroider. Otherwise, I'll buy some needlework and handkerchiefs, and you can embroider this."
Anyway, since we have grown vegetables in the garden, there is no need for wild vegetables. Since my sister can't stay, I'll find something for her to do.
Lu Jinxin was happy to hear this. She wanted to help her family make money. She had learned some things before, but she couldn't make complicated ones, but she could make handkerchiefs.
After the family was arranged, Lu Jinnian went up the mountain to start working. There was also a student, and buying books also cost a lot of money.
She didn't want to exchange the things in the space for money unless it was absolutely necessary. What if someone found out and targeted her?
For several days in a row, she hunted and took them to the city to sell. She used the money to buy books, handkerchiefs, and needlework.
One day, she was about to leave the city with a basket of books on her back, and she saw people starting to enter the city gate not far away.
The neat group of people walked in, looking very impressive.
Lu Jinnian stood aside and watched. Because there were many soldiers entering the army, those who were leaving the city had to wait.
She also knew the man walking in the front, and he had invited her to join the army before.
Meng Ya sat on the horse with an indifferent look, his eyes seemed not to look at anyone, with an aloof temperament.
Such a high-handed attitude scared many women who were watching.
It must be said that this man actually looks really good, and he is strong and a martial artist.
But his aura is so great that ordinary women dare not approach him.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, people were finally able to leave the city.
Lu Jinnian followed with a backpack on his back and slowly left the city.
Recently, the border seems to be unstable, and news of sending troops is often heard.
She has heard about it in Lijiazhuang. Even such a remote village can know about it. You can imagine how urgent the situation in the border is now.
Lu Jinnian's expression was a little solemn. It seems that coming so far is not a good thing. Once a war breaks out, it is very likely that she will be affected.
But with the general here, it may not be so easy to be beaten!
Looking at the development of Jincheng, it will not be stable in more than ten years. It should have not changed for decades.
It is impossible that someone will break in when she comes? Obviously impossible.
Suddenly, Lu Jinnian felt that something was wrong.
She stopped when she saw that there was nothing unusual with the people on the road.
Then she lay on the ground and listened carefully.
Sure enough...
waves of subtle vibrations came from underground. It was a large number of troops!
Lu Jinnian was a little nervous. She didn't know if the soldiers in the city knew the current situation, but if they didn't know, the civilians within dozens of miles would suffer.
Thinking of this, she was not afraid of others suffering but afraid that the two of them would be affected.
She turned around and ran back the way she came. Fortunately, she didn't walk far. After a while, she returned to the city gate.
"Line up for inspection!" The soldier pointed at her and motioned to line up at the back.
Lu Jinnian didn't have time to line up, so she quickly said, "I just felt a large group of soldiers coming here. You should notify the general!"
Regardless of whether this action was abrupt or not, she knew that if she hesitated or delayed, Lijiazhuang would be affected, and the home she had worked so hard to build would be gone.
So, she would not regret it.
Hearing this, the soldier was stunned for a moment, and then said with a serious expression: "Where did the rioters come from! Disturbing the people here!"
Thank you Yun Dan Yisheng for your reward
