Chen Changli Wenyan explained: "The medicinal materials in the fields have not been harvested yet, so even if the elders agree to leave everything behind and leave here, the younger generation is not willing."

"Besides, everyone has to be well prepared before leaving, so I thought about it and decided to go hunting with the hunter and take the young adults in the village, and then sell the prey for money."

"If you can't exchange the prey for much money, you can also make it into dried meat and take it on the road to eat."

What Chen Changli said really made the village chief slightly surprised, and he couldn't help but pay more attention to him.

But seeing his already handsome face with a gentle smile, like the spring breeze blowing on the face, it unconsciously brings out a sense of trust in people's hearts.

He couldn't help but secretly guess that Chen Changli might be an unusual person, and if he made more friends with him on weekdays, he might be able to safely survive the crisis caused by natural disasters.

"You have a good idea. I will mention this to the elders." After saying this, the village chief left the Chen family.

After Chen Changli watched him leave, he called Chen Tao over and asked, "Do you want to learn martial arts?"

Chen Tao frowned and looked a little confused: "Dad, why do you ask this? Do you want to teach me martial arts?"

He looked very nervous when he said this, and his hands unconsciously grabbed his sleeves, which soon became wrinkled.

"I have this plan." There was a trace of concern in Chen Changli's tone, "After all, you have a headache while studying but have a lot of strength at work. I thought that you should be very suitable for learning martial arts, and if you are suitable in the future, you might be able to make contributions. "

Chen Tao's eyes flashed with panic, and he said in an urgent voice: "I don't want to learn martial arts."

Chen Changli asked doubtfully: "Why?"

"I just want to farm at home and not go anywhere." Chen Tao finished this sentence quickly, not daring to look at Chen Changli again and ran away like a dog chasing behind him.

Before Chen Changli could even realize the meaning of his words, he disappeared before his eyes.

After he reacted, he suddenly understood why Chen Tao said that. It was obviously due to the impact of him not returning after serving as a soldier for ten years.

There was bitterness in Chen Changli's eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

He didn't know what to do for a while. Thinking about what he had said to Wan Shufang, although he had not decided to go to Zhengyang County, he still wanted to go to the town to learn some things.

As soon as he entered the town, Chen Changli was keenly aware that the town had become depressed. The only thing that was still lively was the medicinal shop.

It's a pity that such excitement makes the entire town even more alarmingly depressed.

Chen Changli stood outside the medicinal shop for a while before heading to the half-closed inn with a solemn expression.

He entered the wing on the second floor and waited patiently for a while before there was a knock on the door: "Guest, do you need a drink?"

"I need a pot of Dongfenglie." Chen Changli answered calmly.

The man outside the door left quickly after hearing this. After a while, heavy footsteps sounded outside, and then the door was pushed open.

"The villain Wan Conghe has met Mr. Chen." A middle-aged man with a sunken cheek and a black mole on the left side of his mouth walked in and bowed respectfully to Chen Changli.

"No need to be polite." Chen Changli glanced at him sideways, but seeing that he had a frown on his face as if something was bothering him, he asked him to get up and asked, "What's the follow-up to the bandit incident?"

"The county magistrate did not tell the prefect about the matter, but directly wrote a memorial and reported it to His Majesty quickly. Judging from the distance, His Majesty received this memorial a few days ago. As for how to deal with these bandits, I am afraid that we have to wait until the court Only after the quarrel over there is over will the little one receive the message from the Lord."

Listening to Wan Conghe's words, Chen Changli raised his hand and knocked on the table, as if hitting the heads of the bandits again and again.

After only half a cup of tea, he clenched his hands into fists and said in a cold voice: "Those people in the court are only arguing for their own interests. They don't care about the representatives behind the bandits' harvesting of grain." What."

"According to their thoughts, they are eager to continue the quarrel like this. It seems that this matter can really only be left to your master."

"Wan Conghe, go and prepare a pen and ink. I want to write a letter."

"Please wait a moment, sir." After hearing his words, Wan Conghe quickly went to prepare his pen and ink.

After Chen Changli sorted out his thoughts and added the refugee issue, he wrote a sincere letter. He must let that talented person find out everything.

Finally, he asked Wan Conghe: "Is there anyone in Yangzhou who is going to provide disaster relief?"

"His Majesty sent the left minister of the Ministry of Rites to provide relief. However, this gentleman was incompetent and arrived too late. Not only was the disaster not brought under control, but it became more and more serious."

When Wan Conghe heard him ask about the disaster relief, he quickly told what he knew, and then looked at his expression and hesitated to speak.

Chen Changli noticed that his expression was a little subtle, and immediately asked: "Did that adult do some bad things?"

Wang Conghe nodded hurriedly: "He ordered the refugees to be driven to other places. Now the refugees are fleeing in all directions, causing people to panic, and there is a locust plague in the southwest. The refugees fleeing here will only become more desperate."

"In the past few days, I have been specifically looking for refugees to learn about the situation. They worked hard all the way to the southwest border. When they learned that the situation here was not good, most of them gave up the idea of ​​​​survival."

"That's all if it's just like this, but some of them have become refugees."

The last sentence was what Wan Conghe wanted to tell Chen Changli.

"Refugees actually appeared." Chen Changli's eyelids jumped in shock, "Where are those refugees now?"

"Some people have already arrived in Zhengyang County." Wan Conghe said with a guilty look on his face, "Sir, I am preparing to leave here with my whole family."

"Take them and leave as soon as possible." After Chen Changli said this, he hurriedly left the inn.

He originally wanted to go home directly, but then he thought that he still had a son in the town.

He turned around and went to Bai's house.

As soon as he arrived at Bai's house, he saw the servants of Bai's house packing their things. He walked into a man and asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Where are you going, Mr. Bai?"

The man subconsciously replied: "The situation in the town is not good, so I am going to take my young lady and uncle to the capital to join my relatives."

Chen Changli frowned coldly: "You want to take my uncle with you? Has your uncle been out in the past two days?"

"Who are you? Why are you so concerned about my uncle?" When the man heard that something was wrong, he quickly glared at Chen Changli.

"I heard that your uncle is going to take the exam this year. Isn't it September now? I'm worried that if your uncle leaves town, he won't have the chance to take the exam." Chen Changli's eyebrows were still cold, but his tone was... Somewhat relaxed.

"These refugees have all come to the town. The county magistrate is too busy trying to appease the refugees. How can he let the scholars take the exam?"

Hearing Chen Changli's words, the man's attitude was arrogant and his voice was sarcastic.

"You are from the countryside, right? Let me tell you, if you have relatives elsewhere, take them with you as soon as possible. Don't stay in the countryside, otherwise you will lose your life."
