The villages and towns near Yingzhou Prefecture were frequently harassed by refugees.
"Didn't the government say that they've already appointed county magistrates or something to distribute the previous refugees and set up soup kitchens?"
"You're still too naive. By the time the higher-ups started providing relief to the refugees, countless people would have already died."
My distant cousins have just come to stay with me from a village near Yingzhou Prefecture.
It is said that more and more refugees are starting to flee from the south to the north.
"You're making things sound pretty scary. I'd better hurry up and buy some food, otherwise I won't feel at ease."
Upon hearing this news, Chen Xian also began purchasing several bags of flour, rice, and rapeseed oil.
I bought more than ten kilograms of various herbs, including Notopterygium root, Scutellaria baicalensis root, Forsythia suspensa fruit, Platycodon grandiflorus root, Angelica dahurica root, Pueraria lobata root, Ligusticum chuanxiong rhizome, Isatis indigotica leaf, etc.
Moreover, it seems that traditional Chinese medicine shops have noticed this issue and have begun to intentionally raise prices and restrict purchases.

"Thanks for your hard work."
Liu Quan: "I had those beggar leaders dispersed outside."
Chen Xian: "Let's keep it for now and arrange it when we have the chance."
"Old Liu, take advantage of this time to bring your wife and children back to the village."
"Chicken Feather, take those twenty beggars and temporarily camp near Qingxia Village."
"What's wrong, boss? Is something the matter?"
Chen Xian shook his head. "I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking it. I recently went to buy meat and someone mentioned that the price of Chinese medicinal herbs has gone up, and there are also more and more refugees coming to our area."
Chicken Feather: "Understood, sir. Should we make arrangements for Song Shaobai?"
Chen Xian shook his head: "If he leaves Lushang County, we can take action; otherwise, let's just wait."
The risk is too high in the county town.
"yes."
