The Prodigal Son’s Happy Life - Chapter 866

[Chapter 866 Persuasion]

“A once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity?”

When everyone heard this, they all looked confused and had no idea what it meant.

In their minds, the invasion of the Central Plains by the grassland tribes had nothing to do with chance.

However, the prefect of Qiuning glanced at them and said calmly: “I don’t know much about this matter. This is a once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity, which is what General Meng said in his letter to me.

After a while, the Kyoto Prefecture’s Shenji Battalion will come to our place. Don’t worry, if the grassland tribes dare to invade this time, they will never come back!”

These words were said very forcefully, but everyone did not. I am even more uneasy.

From what I heard, this meant that there was indeed going to be a war

. In this case, two months of food must not be enough!

According to usual experience, the food prepared for half a year is insufficient. If the siege lasts for a long time, what will those of them in the city do?

For a moment, everyone was silent, looking worried.

Seeing this scene, the prefect of Qiuning frowned slightly and said coldly: “This time, everything I said is top secret and no one can spread it. If there is even a little trouble in Qiuning Prefecture, It’s because some of you are spreading rumors!

Not to mention the official robes you are wearing, even if you want to escape unscathed, it is just wishful thinking!”

After hearing this, everyone did not dare to show any contempt. He saluted hurriedly: “I understand, I understand!”

The atmosphere in Qiuning City became tense, especially outside the city.

In villages close to the grassland tribes.

A family is picking up the broken pieces.

“I entered Fucheng this time. I don’t know when I will be able to come out. Take everything you can bring with you.”

The middle-aged man looked back at his wife and children and ordered.

“Yes, Daddy.” This

was not the first time that the half-grown child had experienced such a thing.

However, in the past, when he was still young, even if he escaped to Fucheng, he would not have much impression.

Therefore, at this moment, I still have a smile on my face and feel it is fun.

The middle-aged women and old men next to them had worried faces.

After all, she still couldn’t hold it back, and the old lady asked: “My child, what happened again? But those barbarians are coming again? Tell the truth, our old bones have only been alive for a few years. Don’t be afraid of anything.

This barbarian has seen a lot. If it wasn’t a barbarian, your father and I wouldn’t have left, and we would have to stay and watch.

“

That’s what I said, but what do you mean? Everyone, except the half-year-old child, can understand it.

This year’s harvest was not good, and their family didn’t save much food.

It is certainly impossible to take away all the food. If it takes a long time, we can only count on the relief from the Fucheng Yamen.

But how much food will be needed for relief?

Not to mention three or four months, but two months later, it will be provided on a household-by-household basis.

At that time, there is not enough food to eat, what should we do?

It can only be

this kind of thing. Old people like them have experienced it many times, and many times they have seen how many flesh and blood are killed just for a mouthful of food.

In this case, then they might as well stay here, at least they can return to their roots.

At this age, they are no longer afraid of many things.

I used to think that the barbarians were ferocious, but now that I think about it, I actually feel that there is nothing wrong with them.

If these two old guys didn’t enter the city, they would at least have a good memory.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he frowned, looked at his parents, and said, “Mom and dad, don’t think about it. This time the Yamen said that we only need to bring enough food for half a month. From now on, as long as it’s I’m still in Fucheng, and I’ll be given enough food per person,

and the yamen won’t confiscate it.”

“Hey,”

the two old men sighed in unison when they heard this, and said rather helplessly. : “What time has the Yamen not said this?”

They have heard this too many times.

Especially when it comes to people from the yamen, there is no longer anything that can be trusted.

In the past few times, if they hadn’t secretly hidden some food, it was still a question whether they could still survive until now.

This time, the harvest was not good, and they had to enter the city so early, and there were still so many people.

If they said there would be no problems, they wouldn’t believe it.

When the time comes to freeze to death, die of thirst, or starve to death, it is really better to die under the knife of a barbarian. At least it will only be a momentary thing and not so painful.

What’s more, they are already old and don’t have a few days to live.

When the middle-aged man saw his parents like this, he had to say: “This time is different. This time it was said by the Marquis of Xin’an. Not only the yamen, but what the Marquis of Xin’an said was reported and posted at the entrance of the village. The scholars in the village Read it.

We will only be in Fucheng for two months at most. When this period of time passes, the Marquis of Xin’an will come to see us in person and bring us food for the winter. Every household has it! “

“These”

two old people looked at each other, still a little suspicious.

They all knew who Xin’anhou was.

They had often heard about this person from others in the past two years.

He seemed to be a great big shot. A lot of good things have happened.

Some time ago, Fucheng distributed several pieces of cloth to every household.

It was said that Xin’an Hou gave it to everyone,

and they distributed thousands of them .

A piece of cloth, as well as the entire Qiuning Prefecture, the entire four northern states, and even the entire Chu State,

even though they have not read books and do not know how to count,

these two old people know

very

well.

After all, Qiuning Mansion is the closest to the grassland tribes, and many things that happened are not easy to explain. Even

the Marquis of Xin’an is not worthy of their trust.

“Mom and dad, don’t worry, nothing will happen. We still have heaven’s punishment. Even if those barbarians really come, as long as they stay in Fucheng for more than half a month and wait for the Shenji Camp of Xin’anhou to arrive, everything will be fine.

Those barbarians can’t defeat us! The

middle-aged man still hesitated when he saw the two old men and advised: “Mom and dad, if you don’t leave, we won’t leave either.”

“What are you talking about?”

The

two old men frowned. The

middle-aged man continued to persuade: “Mom and Dad, this time the government has said that every household and everyone must go to Qiuning.” When we go to Fucheng, no one can stay outside. If you don’t go, we won’t be able to go either. “

While talking, a voice suddenly came from outside the door.

“Have you packed your things? That’s about right. It can take as little as half a month or as much as a month and a half. There’s no need to take everything away! ”
