Chapter 205: Escaping from natural disasters and turning things around (4)

They chose a good time as there were not many people at the post station. The postmaster looked at the silver and money that Zhou had brought with her and nodded in agreement that they could stay in two guest rooms.

However, although it is a place to stay, the inn does not provide meals or washing water.

"If you want to eat, go to the kitchen and cook. You can get water from the well in the backyard. Leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning, and don't bother me at other times."

The postmaster took the money and spoke rudely, and they had no choice but to deal with him with a smile and turned around to get busy.

After staying in an uncomfortable inn for one night, we hurried on our journey early the next morning.

It took them nearly three days to finally reach the more prosperous Linshan County.

I found an inn to stay in and paid the driver in advance.

Leaving behind only one carriage that Shen Fugui and Zhou would use on their return journey, everyone started looking for brokers to inquire about houses that could be sold around the county.

Shen Yao plans to find a good place to stay, whether renting or buying.

And considering that we will have to flee famine again soon, renting is more cost-effective than buying and selling.

(Why didn't they flee in advance? First, they hadn't decided where to go. After all, they couldn't escape a natural disaster anywhere. Second, Shen Yao needed to prepare in advance, including making some judgments about her own mission.)

Renting a house? The dental practitioner looked at Shen Yao and her group and didn't take them seriously.

It was not until Shen Yao took out a generous tip that the man from the dental shop smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed, and turned around to lead them to the south of the city.

Linshan County is divided into four directions: east, south, west and north. Except for the east side of the city which is the residence of nobles, the south side of the city is the best and safest place among the remaining three locations.

The rent here is generally very expensive, costing at least five taels of silver a year. If you want to buy a house, it may cost over a hundred taels.

"If you don't want to buy it, we'll just rent it," Zhou waved her hands in fear, fearing that Shen Yao would lose control and spend all her savings on it.

Shen Yao smiled and reassured Zhou that she would not do that and that she must not waste money under any circumstances, even though she already had so much money that she couldn't count it.

Finally, the people from the dental clinic and Shen Yao booked a nice courtyard.

As you enter the door, you will see a spacious courtyard, with houses made of green bricks and green tiles on all sides.

“The owner of this house is no longer in Linshan, he has gone to live in Luozhou Prefecture.

If you want to rent this yard, you can waive up to 300 wen of rent per year."

Thanks to Shen Yao's favor, the people in the dental clinic gave a lot of discounts on the price.

Shen Yao looked around and pointed to a jujube tree in the yard and said, "Can we plant a few more trees like this?" In fact, she wanted to change the layout of the house.

The people at the dental shop were quick-witted and told Shen Yao that the interior furnishings could be moved, but the exterior structures absolutely could not be moved.

Okay, but there are many rooms in the courtyard, which should be enough for them to live in.

I went back with the dental office staff and signed the lease contract again.

Shen Yao pays on an annual basis. If she wants to renew the lease next year, she can just sign a new contract.

After renting the house, a few people went back to the inn and moved their luggage there using the remaining carriage.

It is definitely not possible to just live there, because the room needs to be cleaned and some of the tools inside need to be purchased.

Shen Yao and Zhou simply split up. Shen Yao took Shen Fugui to buy things, while Zhou took the children to pack up the things they brought.

After finishing all these, I will go back to the inn to stay at night until the courtyard is habitable.

"Girl, what should we buy?" Shen Fugui was pulling the carriage, at a loss as to what to do on the road.

"Dad, don't worry, I'll go to the bank and change some loose change first."

The gold and silver ornaments in her space are quite special, and even the ancient gold and silver ingots are quite large.

Considering the expenses of future life, Shen Yao simply exchanged some small change and copper coins.

Then, Shen Yao started buying things as she walked. Whether it was pots and pans that could be used in the kitchen, or clothes made of various fabrics that could be worn, as long as they were useful, she would buy them.

Shen Fugui: ...

Shen Fugui looked at his daughter who was spending money lavishly, and after hesitating, he finally spoke up to persuade her to calm down.

This is all money, we should save it.

Shen Yao:......

"Dad, don't worry, I know your daughter well and won't spend money recklessly."

At least you won't really look like a sucker.

Soon, the carriage was filled with the purchased supplies, especially rice, flour, grain and oil, which needed to be sent back.

After going back and forth for almost three times, Shen Yao successfully filled the empty courtyard.

That’s not all. Shen Yao took another look at the layout of the room and decided to find an opportunity to tidy it up and pile all the unused items in a utility room not far away.

The family did not stay in the courtyard for too long. They returned to the inn, took a bath, ordered some food, ate their fill, and then lay down to rest.

Shen Fugui and Zhou stayed in Linshan County for about five or six days.

Not until Shen Yao had finished everything and was sure there were no problems for the time being did the old couple drive away in the carriage.

As soon as the two of them left, Shen Yao took Wei Cheng to the county martial arts school to learn martial arts.

It is not easy to be a martial arts master, especially when learning in a martial arts school. You have to pay for food and you cannot stop eating when you go home.

"No problem, Master Qiao. Please take care of us after we enroll."

Wei Cheng has talent in this area, so Shen Yao decided to train him in two ways.

"But can he, a child, handle both martial arts training and studying?"

The system didn't expect the host to be so cruel. Wei Cheng is only ten years old.

"If we are too busy, there are still me and others. You don't think Wei Ying and the others can relax."

Take advantage of this time to let her study. Even if she doesn't study, she should learn some skills to support herself.

Shen Yao's medical skills can also be taught to them. After all, no matter which dynasty it is, medical skills can be a skill that can make a living if you learn them well.

system:……

The system sighed that the host was worthy of being a strict mother, and his actions were as ruthless as ever.

Silently expressing grievances for the children, the system said nothing. Instead, Shen Yao paid the fees and went to visit several schools in the county.

There was only one family that accepted girls, and the teacher was a poor lady who could only teach a few books of poetry and some skills in playing the piano and chess.

Shen Yao thought it was a good idea and, regardless of how expensive it was, she privately signed up for Wei Ying and the other two.

When Shen Yao brought Wei Cheng back home, the other four children were still confused and dazed. They only heard their mother's thunder that made them dizzy and confused.

Study? Everyone has to study?!

Wei Ying’s first reaction was that she didn’t have enough money, and she wanted to say that she didn’t have to go. However, Shen Yao stopped her by saying that she would also find a job in the clinic.

"If you learn some skills, you will benefit greatly in the future." Only by continuous learning can people make progress.

Shen Yao has a lot of things that she hasn't taken out yet because she is waiting, waiting for the children to grow up a little and for the time to be right.

"Okay, go back and pack up, and get up early tomorrow morning for class."

With a wave of her hand, Shen Yao went to the kitchen to take out the food she had bought, set it up, and invited everyone to eat.

After dinner, the family of six went back to rest, but Shen Yao had other things to do.

After half a month, it was the beginning of March, and Shen Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, everything was going well, and the five children had been arranged. Next, she would be able to visit the provincial capital.

Shen Yao's appearance changed significantly after arriving in the county town. The children might not notice it, but if Zhou were there, she would definitely exclaim how her daughter could be so beautiful.

Shen Yao's family was able to settle down smoothly in the county town, leaving the Wei family behind.

"Doctor Shen" "Doctor Shen"

Shen Yao smiled and nodded to the person who greeted her, then walked into the separated inner room to see the patient.

After all, she is a woman. Compared with a small town where there are fewer people and everyone is more familiar with each other, in a county town, one still has to be more concerned about reputation.

After Shen Yao was hired as a doctor, she began to be responsible for some women's diagnoses.

Because of her excellent medical skills, all the wealthy families in the city now invite Shen Yao to work for her.

Shen Yao made a lot of money from this trip alone, and that wasn't even the most important thing. His rich network of contacts was enough for Shen Yao to learn more about the State of Qi.

"It seems that my previous inference was correct. It is not easy for Qi to fall into chaos, but the person sitting on the dragon throne is likely to be replaced."

The State of Qi had only been established for over a hundred years, and it was a time when its military was strong and its horses were powerful.

Even though this is a natural disaster, the disaster attacked indiscriminately. Qi State was not doing well, and the surrounding small countries found it even more difficult to survive.

The reason why Shen Yao chose to stay put was because she was not sure where was safe.

If the whole country is full of natural disasters, does it matter where you flee to? It's just a different way to die.

What Shen Yao needs to do now is to take advantage of the opportunity to complete her task first.

When human power is unable to resist, we can only rely on external forces to save ourselves.

In the past two years, summer droughts and heavy snow in winter have occurred quite frequently. Shen Yao believes that this is a precursor to the coming disaster.

"System, can't you tell me an exact time? That way I can be mentally prepared."

Shen Yao continued to apply the system's words, thinking that this world was different from the previous one.

The previous demonic invasion could be felt, but the natural disaster here can only be seen with one’s own eyes.

Hiding in the mountains and forests is far away from human danger, but hiding in a busy city is also dangerous.

It was a difficult choice and Shen Yao didn't know what to do.

The system looked helpless, it didn't know, 'The prompt information didn't say that.'

It only knows that natural disasters will happen, such as heavy snow and frost in the north that freeze countless people to death, floods and earthquakes in the south that destroy thousands of acres of fertile land and injure people, heavy rains and tsunamis in the east that destroy houses and displace people, and droughts in the west that reduce food production and make people starve.

There is no safe place. It all depends on the local officials and the regime to maintain it. Wherever it can be maintained, there it can survive.

"Yes, we still need more information, and we need to put the trip to the capital on the agenda as soon as possible."

The city is more prosperous, there are more people there, and the information is naturally richer. If Shen Yao doesn't want to miss it, she must go there in person.

Moreover, there are royal relatives in the capital city. If she can successfully contact them, she might be able to extract more useful information.
