Reborn to face famine, I brought a space full of supplies!
Chapter 133 The war begins
"Is there a war at the border?" After Jiang Chuyue came here, she was mostly concerned about the little piece of land in front of her. It was not that she did not want to know the situation outside, but the geographical location was really limited. Even if she wanted to know and wanted to find out the news, it was really difficult.
What's more, by the time the news from outside reached Jiang Chuyue's ears, the situation outside had already undergone earth-shaking changes in the few days that it took.
"When did it happen?" Jiang Chuyue was subconsciously concerned about when I got the news.
"It happened just three days ago. The Wu State on the border has been eyeing our country covetously for years. Now our country is plagued by famine and the people can't even get a full meal." Manager Wei sighed as he contracted his anger.
As a citizen of a foreign country, who doesn’t want to live a stable and prosperous life?
But now, the foreign relatives of the emperor are interfering in the politics of Li State, and the eunuchs are in power. The entire Li State has become rotten from top to bottom. People like Manager Wei who understand the situation have long known that the Li State will not be able to last for many more years.
But even though they know the truth, no one wants their country to be lost in the long river of history. They hope that their lives will get better, but they are also attached to themselves as expatriates.
Thus falling into the current entanglement and melancholy.
Jiang Chuyue understood the worries in Manager Wei's heart, but it was difficult for her to persuade him about such things. She was not a real Li countryman and did not have much sense of belonging to the country. It was just that when the war broke out, the lives of the people at the bottom of society were the most difficult.
Thinking of this, Jiang Chuyue couldn't help but feel the same way. "No matter what the future holds, we still have to do our own thing. It would be best if we could leave ourselves a way out."
Jiang Chuyue knew that such a country was doomed to be undefended. The people were short of food and clothing, and the soldiers on the front line were probably not much better off.
In such a situation, it is very difficult to win a battle.
Jiang Chuyue, who had originally made a fortune, felt a little heavy-hearted after hearing the news of the war at the border. When she stepped out of Samadhi Pharmacy, Wu Gang and others hurriedly surrounded her. Seeing that Jiang Chuyue was in a bad mood, they subconsciously thought that something went wrong with the sale of medicinal materials this time.
After several people looked at each other, Wu Gang, who was most familiar with Jiang Chuyue, asked tentatively, "Sister Jiang, is there something wrong with the herbs?"
Jiang Chuyue looked at the sweaty people, and after a moment of silence, she started laughing again.
No matter what the war situation on the border is, today should be a day worth celebrating.
"No problem, we made a lot of money today. Let's celebrate at my house tonight." Jiang Chuyue had the border war on her mind. What was the point of telling Wu Gang and the others about this?
They are powerless about the future of their country and cannot stop the collapse of the building. The wheel of history will only cruelly crush everyone and no one will leave a name behind.
In this case, why should we allow the worries of tomorrow to affect our joy today?
Jiang Chuyue led the team to buy a lot of good things in the county and distributed some to each of them. They subconsciously wanted to refuse, but were blocked by Jiang Chuyue's tough attitude.
"This is the reward for your delivery of medicinal herbs this time. The daily wages are also earned by your hard work. Those wages were not used to buy you from helping to deliver the medicinal herbs." One thing is one thing, Jiang Chuyue never felt that she had helped them much.
The wages they received were all earned through their own hard work. Even the people in Wanshan Village and several surrounding villages relied on their hard work in the fields to exchange for food and money.
Jiang Chuyue just gave them a chance, but if other people could give them this opportunity, they would not do worse than they are doing now.
A few people looked at each other, and finally accepted the food and meat that Jiang Chuyue bought for them. She even took their children into consideration and bought snacks for each of them.
The group returned to Wanshan Village excitedly and went straight to the kitchen of the Xiao family's old house to help. Jiang Chuyue turned and went into Xiao Yihao's room, took out a pen and paper, and quickly wrote a line of words on a small piece of paper:
The border war has broken out. Do you have any ideas?
He called the carrier pigeon left by Xiao Yihao, rolled the small piece of paper into a small strip, stuffed it into the pigeon's feet, fed the pigeon some food and then released it.
After saying all this last night, Jiang Chuyue left the room and, at Aunt Zhang's invitation, went into the kitchen to help.
The celebration lasted until the late night. Jiang Chuyue looked at the drunk people, smiled and settled everyone down, then staggered into her room, a little tipsy.
Subconsciously, she wanted to go into the space. The moment she flashed into the space, someone suddenly grabbed Jiang Chuyue's arm.
Jiang Chuyue woke up instantly, and when she met a pair of extremely familiar eyes, her tense heart relaxed.
"Why are you always sneaky when you come back?" Jiang Chuyue said with some dissatisfaction.
"There are too many people at home, and I'm too lazy to deal with them, so I just stayed in the room waiting for you. I didn't expect you guys would stay up so late." Xiao Yihao was a little amused.
He didn't mean to scare Jiang Chuyue. This time it was really an accident.
"Have you seen the message I sent you?" Jiang Chuyue didn't want to dwell on this matter too much and got down to business.
Xiao Yihao nodded and asked, "How did you know about the war at the border?"
After listening to Jiang Chuyue's story about the situation in Samadhi, Xiao Yihao smiled and said, "This Shopkeeper Wei is probably not a simple person. Shuiyun Pavilion only got the news of the war at the border today. He is quite quick to get the news."
Jiang Chuyue was not surprised. A man who could run Samadhi so big that even the well-known Zhou family in the county treated Manager Wei with great courtesy, it was obvious that Manager Wei's identity was not simple, or maybe the backer behind him was not simple.
"Why do you think he suddenly revealed the news of the border war to me?" Jiang Chuyue asked back.
"You're asking me?" Xiao Yihao smiled, "I don't have much dealings with this Shopkeeper Wei. It's a bit difficult for me to guess what he's thinking, isn't it?"
Jiang Chuyue curled her lips, "You have been working for Mr. Liu for such a long time, and you don't even have the authority to investigate Manager Wei?"
"So this is what you were planning." Xiao Yihao knew that since Jiang Chuyue had become suspicious of Manager Wei's identity, she would definitely dig deep and get to the bottom of it.
Even if he doesn't help, Jiang Chuyue will definitely use other means to find out the truth.
"Okay, I'll find a way to investigate this Shopkeeper Wei when I get back." Xiao Yihao agreed without much thought.
