Don't move, this child bride is not easy to mess with.

What's going on? The whole country is in poverty, but you still dare to buy silk and satin to show off?

It's okay if the business of the shops is not good. What's more important is that cloth is not only needed for people's livelihood, but also for the military. Two months ago, local governments were collecting cloth.

Most of Jiang's shops were subject to expropriation. It's not that they didn't give money, but the government didn't have that much cash to pay, so they gave me a deed with the official seal as collateral. If the government office had money in the future, they could go and get it back.

That said, if you want to get money based on white notes, just dream. Even if the imperial court really allocated money, the officials in the government office would have to make the most of it first. Do these shops expect to get their money back for the cloth they "lend"?

That might mean the Year of the Monkey, the Year of the Horse, and the Month of the Horse.

The business of the shop had plummeted, and most of the inventory was borrowed by the government. However, various expenses were still there, and after just over a month, Jiang had to transfer several shops in the foreign government to make up for the shortage of cash.

Jiang was naturally overjoyed that his two sons and soon-to-be daughter-in-law were back in good health.

But after she was happy, she still had to worry about business matters.

Su Mulan has been back for five days. Su Xi'er stayed with her eldest sister for a few days, and then went to Xiangxiu Pavilion to learn skills. After not seeing Jiang for a few days, the little girl came to see her godmother.

"Godmother, why do Xi'er think you are not happy today?" Su Xi'er said while eating cakes and looking at Jiang with big eyes.

"No way? Even if there is something unhappy, I am happy to see Xi'er. Your eldest sister has been back for a few days, and I was thinking of going to see her today." Jiang didn't want to spend time with Xi'er. With a sad look in front of him, he forced a smile.

Seeing that the end of the year is coming, and shopkeepers and clerks everywhere can't even pay out their savings, how can Jiang still laugh?

"My eldest sister originally said she wanted to come over to see my godmother, but uncle Yang came to tell me that something happened at Lanruo Temple, so she went there. She hasn't come back today." Xi'er said with a wink.

"Lanruo Temple? Isn't that a place to house refugees? Is there anything that requires your eldest sister to go there in person?" Jiang asked casually.

"Uncle Yang said there was a plague over there." Although Su Xi'er understood that the plague was not a good thing, she had never experienced it and had no strong concept, so she said casually.

"What! Plague, how dare she go there in person!" Jiang stood up suddenly and exclaimed.

The plague did appear in Daianryang Temple.

Before Sumulan came to Beijing, the county government designated Da'an Temple to receive refugees from various counties. After all, there are many vacant houses here, and hundreds of thousands of stones of food are stored here.

In the past two months, Daanliang Temple has received more than 30,000 refugees who came after hearing the news. It can be said that Su Mulan's original purchase of grain was very meritorious to countless living people.

None of these refugees are from Anlan County.

Although there were tens of thousands of victims in the county, under Jiang Ruiyan's plan, money and food were sent to the countryside. Therefore, they did not move around and received relief in their own village.

The more than 10,000 households affected by the disaster were all grateful to the county magistrate Xie Chengan. Many people even set up longevity tablets for him in their homes, which can be called the Buddha of thousands of families.

After Jiang Ruiyan learned about it, he couldn't help but tease Xie Chengan about it. He was only in his early twenties when a memorial tablet was set up. Xie Cheng'an sent his government officials to persuade the people several times and posted notices not to erect any more memorial tablets for him, which finally put an end to the situation.

Da'anliang Temple specializes in housing immigrants. There were five to six thousand of these people, but they had fled from Qingsong County.

Today's Qingsong County can be described as a ghost land. It was originally a small county with only 30,000 people, but now everyone is dying and running away. The county government officials collapsed again in the civil uprising. Officials died and officials fled, and no one organized to save themselves.

Because the Yang and Wang families took care of the granary here for Su Mulan and took charge of the relief work for fellow villagers in Qingsong County, the refugees mistakenly thought that this grain settlement was founded by Su Mulan.

Yang Meng, a stonemason from Dazheng Village, and his two younger sons worked in Suzhai, so naturally they couldn't help but vigorously promote Su Mulan's bodhisattva heart. When the Wang brothers saw this, they were not willing to lag behind others, so they also praised her as the reincarnation of Guanyin.

Therefore, the 30,000 refugees here only know Su Mulan and do not know that there is a county government. What's more, someone who did something bad actually removed the name of the temple in front of the gate of Da'anliang Temple.

Originally, these guys wanted to change the name to Mulan Temple, but Yang Meng felt it was inappropriate. It was a bit weird to name Su Mulan a girl's family and name the temple after her.

He was afraid that his flattery would be slapped on the horse's hooves and make everyone think about the name of the temple again. Unfortunately, most of these refugees are illiterate, so there is no way they can get any good names.

In the end, it was the monks from the original Da'anliang Temple who took over Lanruo Temple. In fact, it's not a clever title. The original meaning of Lanruo is Alanruo, but it means forest in Sanskrit.

Lanruo Temple means a remote temple hidden in the mountains and forests.

But no matter what, in the eyes of people like Yang Meng, the name Lanruo Temple was somewhat related to Su Mulan, and it would not offend her name, so it was engraved on the big stone of the mountain gate.

The monks in the temple are also happy to see this. After all, the temple's reputation has spread far and wide due to the Da'anliang Temple case. It is always good to change the name of the temple to avoid the limelight.

The original fields in the temple were confiscated by the county government. But after these refugees arrived, the county government organized them into a unit of ten to rent ten acres of land. Thirty thousand acres of land were leased to them.

Grain planting, cattle, and agricultural tools were also lent to them. Although it was almost October, we could still plant some winter wheat, rapeseed, potatoes, peas and other crops.

It's a gain to some extent. If God gives him a favor next year, maybe these refugees can live and work in peace and contentment again and no longer have to rely on relief aid. Su Mulan wouldn't be able to support so many people for a long time if she didn't help the poor.

With the county government organization and the management of the Yang and Wang families, these 30,000 people originally lived in an orderly manner and gradually became peaceful. Unexpectedly, after accepting the latest batch of dozens of refugees, a plague suddenly broke out.

That group of refugees came from other provinces, and there was no one to take them in, so they hid in the mountains and hunted until they accidentally broke into Gaoyang Mountain.

Tens of thousands of people have been taken into custody. How can these dozens of people be expelled?

But within a few days, these people first developed a fever, then started talking nonsense, and finally vomited blood and killed several people.

Until then, YangMeng and others were afraid and hurriedly went to the city to report to the officials. When he learned that Su Mulan was back, he went to Su Zhai to report the matter to her.

Su Mulan was shocked and quickly took out the masks in the space and put them on everyone. Thanks to the pandemic that lasted for several years in my previous life, I always had boxes of masks, alcohol and other supplies at home, which came in handy.

Fortunately, Yang Meng did not come into contact with the refugees, but Su Mulan sprayed alcohol on his head and face to disinfect.

Plague is a serious matter, and if it is not controlled, it can easily cause large-scale infection. With the little medical treatment available in this dynasty, there is no way it can be defended.

Su Mulan immediately sent someone to inform Xie Chengan and asked him to close the county and temporarily stop taking in refugees. She also sent a medical officer to Da'anliang Temple with her.
