Quick Wear: The heroine is a top-level boss
Chapter 172 The Founding Empress 7
Su Xing actually already had some idea about where to get food. When a disaster strikes, the common people naturally have no food.
But corrupt officials, wealthy businessmen waiting to make a fortune from national disasters, and those wealthy families who shut themselves up in seclusion will never lack food.
Even whenever a natural disaster occurs, it becomes a day of revelry for the wealthy and powerful, who take the opportunity to buy up the land from the common people at low prices and engage in land annexation.
They would also lure the people into borrowing high-interest loans, and if they couldn't pay back the loans, they would sell themselves into slavery and become hidden slaves in the hands of the wealthy and powerful.
Su Xing's behavior was very simple and brutal. He just robbed. Several large grain merchants in the surrounding area had stockpiled a lot of grain and sold it to ordinary people at high prices, but they were completely robbed by Su Xing.
After Gu Mingxuan killed almost all the bandits within a radius of 200 miles, no one dared to regard Su Xing's team composed entirely of women as fat meat.
Not only that, they were also very vigilant. Everyone tacitly walked around Su Xing's team, but these big grain merchants did not expect that Su Xing would dare to rob them.
Moreover, Su Xing did not rob outside, but rushed directly into the warehouse to rob. He was extremely arrogant. Unfortunately, the guards they hired were no match for Su Xing's guards.
He was beaten to a pulp as soon as they met, and this was because Su Xing didn't want to kill anyone, so he asked the guards to show mercy.
This group of grain merchants simply got together, crying and going to the government to seek justice.
The prefect was sitting in the lobby, dozing off with a teacup in his hand, while several grain merchants were crying and complaining.
These grain merchants were passionately criticizing Su Xing for stealing their grain, but the prefect was already snoring in his sleep.
Seeing the prefect sleeping so soundly that he was almost snotting, the few grain officials could no longer complain. It was obvious from the prefect's attitude that he didn't want to take care of the matter.
After a short nap, the prefect stretched himself when he woke up. Looking at the grain merchants who were reluctant to leave, he said casually, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I really have no choice.
You also know how powerful these women are. There were so many bandits, but they just eradicated them completely. Even the government couldn't do it.
If the imperial court doesn't send troops to deal with such a powerful group of female bandits, I'm afraid that the few soldiers I can mobilize won't be able to defeat them. Besides, you're just short of some food, so it's not a big deal."
After the prefect's Tai Chi tactics, the grain merchants got nothing and had to leave the government office.
After the grain merchants left, the drowsy prefect suddenly became alert and ran to his bedroom at a very fast pace.
A new shelf was added to the prefect's bedroom today, on which was placed a complete set of glass wine bottles in the shape of the twelve zodiac animals, with wines of different colors in the bottles.
The prefect's favorite thing, besides all kinds of glass products, is wine. After Su Xing found out about the prefect's hobby, he took out this set of wine from his own space and gave it to the prefect.
In modern times, this thing only costs tens of thousands of dollars, but in ancient times it was a priceless treasure. The wine inside is strong and pure, and with this transparent wine bottle, it looks very expensive.
The prefect obtained this set of priceless treasures in his eyes, so naturally he chose to cover up all of Su Xing's actions.
This is also the reason why Su Xing did not let his guards kill people. She only robbed food and did not kill people, so it would be easy for the prefect to choose to cover up for her. If she killed too many people, the nature of this matter would be different from robbing food, and the prefect would not be able to cover up for her.
Anyway, even without Suxing, he still has to support a group of bandits. Without bandits, how can he highlight his political achievements and how can he ask for money from the court?
With a more powerful person like Su Xing around, the prefect doesn't have to bother supporting another person. Su Xing is sensible and generous, and the cooperation between the prefect and Su Xing is a happy one for everyone.
Su Xing and the prefect were all very happy, but the grain merchants who suffered a great loss were dissatisfied. The leading merchant, Qian, looked back at the prefect's mansion and could not help but spit.
A merchant nearby was worried: "This female bandit is very powerful. Although the prefect is perfunctory to us, I think that even if he sends troops, it is likely that they will return empty-handed."
The merchant Qian gritted his teeth and said, "If the prefect doesn't care, then we have to take care of it. I can't swallow this loss anyway."
Several grain merchants nearby looked at each other and knew what the term "money merchants" meant. Although on the surface, they were all ordinary merchants.
But ordinary merchants simply cannot do such a big business. In fact, each of them works for the powerful and wealthy, and the powerful and wealthy behind them have both power and troops.
Qian Shanghu's intention was to send a letter to the person behind him, asking him to take action against Su Xing.
Several other grain merchants understood what the merchant Qian meant, and they also sent letters to the people behind them.
If several grain merchants complained to the big backers behind them, it would be equivalent to asking several powerful families to deal with Su Xing together.
Because they all received messages from their subordinates asking for help at the same time, several powerful people got together to discuss it and decided to take the biggest step and directly instigate the emperor to issue an order to suppress the bandits.
Although big families nowadays all have private soldiers, the number of private soldiers is still not as large as that of the regular army in the court.
Su Xing didn't know yet that the court was about to send troops to suppress her. At this moment, Su Xing was busy accommodating a large group of babies who suddenly appeared in the mountain village.
Killing baby girls is a bad custom that has not been completely eradicated even in modern times. Moreover, in times of disaster, almost no families would keep their daughters.
Chu Linlang brought people to explain that a baby girl could be exchanged for one hundred dollars from her. Many people even brought their unengaged daughters and asked Chu Linlang if she wanted them.
Chu Linlang naturally accepted all the offers. In addition to baby girls and little girls, Chu Linlang also purchased countless women in large quantities from human traffickers, including many young girls.
These baby girls or girls in general were basically equivalent to orphans without fathers or mothers. In Su Xing's hands, the younger girls were huddled together like little quails, facing the unknown future in fear and confusion.
Su Xing couldn't bear to see this, so he changed the girls into clean clothes, fed them a few full meals, and also asked Ye Zhixi to provide psychological counseling.
These girls are young and find it easier to accept their new life and settle down quickly than older adults with established ideas.
As for the baby girls, they adapted even better. They were at an age when they didn't know much and just needed to have food and drink. They didn't care whether they moved to a new place or whether they had parents.
Su Xing is very busy now. Although she has Gu Mingxuan and three others to help her, she has too many subordinates and it is impossible for her to just sit back and do nothing.
In addition to handling various affairs every day, he also teaches people martial arts step by step. After mastering the martial arts, there is another benefit, which is that it makes it easier to get pregnant and give birth.
In ancient times, childbirth was a huge challenge for women. The son would be born quickly and the mother would die quickly. Too many women died from difficult childbirth. If this problem could not be solved, the female mortality rate would remain high.
Su Xing plans to improve the medical skills of female obstetrics and gynecology, at least to reduce the mortality rate of female childbirth.
When there were no modern medical facilities, forceps was a major invention to solve the problem of difficult labor for women. Su Xing naturally would not miss it. He invented it early and taught it to midwives who knew how to deliver babies.
After a midwife saved a pregnant woman who was having difficulty giving birth with forceps, forceps became all the rage.
Su Xing took the opportunity to expand the influence of forceps, letting all women know what forceps are and letting midwives learn again how to use forceps. This time, all the midwives learned seriously and no longer had the contempt they had last time.
Just when all the midwives, including some women who were interested in learning midwives, were learning how to use forceps, a guard found Su Xing in a panic!
