Song Chu Yu has a lot of silver, and every slightly bigger city has her own shop.
According to Song Chuyu, her family is gradually expanding their business from the sea to the land, so although there are not many shops in many cities, there will be one or two.
When Xie Qingsong heard this, he knew that Song Chuyu's family was really rich.
With Song Chuyu in, they are much more relaxed along the way. Time is passing by little in such a pleasant time. Unconsciously, it's late autumn.
In late autumn, the sky and the earth are golden, but the harvest scenery is rare.
The more you go south, the more you meet poor people in ragged clothes on the road. You can also see that the rice in the field doesn't even have leaves.
Yin Qiqi was puzzled and asked, "why didn't the rice in the field even have leaves, and there was a stick left, on which there were traces of being bitten?"
When asked about Wu Qing and Wu Chen, song Chu Yu answered, "it's locusts. I've heard from my servants before. This year, the locusts in the south are very strong. When they come, it's dark, but where they have been, there is no harvest. But the court did not do anything. If it did not help these poor people, it would have to collect taxes. "
"Isn't the tax reduced?" Xie Qingsong asked.
Song Chu Yu said: "it's a reduction, but I didn't say I won't accept it. Now the emperor Dayan is like this. He doesn't care whether he is full or not! Such an emperor can still sit for such a long time. He is also very powerful! " Then she snorted with disdain.
Since childhood, she has been learning from her father about all kinds of ways of life, and from her mother about business and deception. Song Chuyu has never been afraid of anything that ordinary people would be afraid of. Just as her father always said to her, as a song family member, she should be fearless!
Yin Qiqi had something to do with the six princes and the twelve princes of the current Dynasty. Although she didn't do anything to be beheaded, the crisis would come at any time. Hearing Song Chuyu's words, she had nothing to say. She quietly looked out of the window at the poor people, all skinny and ragged. The grass and trees on the roadside were gnawed by locusts, and the dead branches looked like human beings His hands stretched out to the sky, as if asking for pity.
With the efforts of song Wenqing, Yin Qiqi never went hungry.
Too many good days, but also see more prosperous and rich, the first time to see such a scene, Yin Qiqi's heart is very heavy.
Suddenly, a group of children came to Yin Qiqi's side, trotted along with their window, and begged: "adults, give us something to eat, we are so hungry, we haven't eaten for three days!"
Seeing the poor eyes of the children, Yin Qiqi looked at the pot on the table, and Song Chuyu grabbed it. "Sister Qiqi, don't even think about it. You can see how many refugees around are hungry. If you give it to one person, other people will come up and ask us to give them something to eat. When the food is taken away, we will be hungry!"
"Since you don't give them food, teach them to make food. No cloud, stop." Yin Qiqi.
Wuyun did not stop the carriage immediately. He hesitated outside and looked at Yin Qiqi. There were so many refugees here. If he stopped the carriage, who knew whether he would be attacked. These refugees are innocent people. They don't want to fight with them.
"No clouds, stop!" Yin Qiqi said harshly.
Wuyun had no choice but to stop the car. Yin Qiqi taught song Yinian to Song Chuyu, "Miss Song, please help me to watch it."
"Seven seven elder sister, you must be careful."
Yin Qi nodded.
As soon as she got out of the car, the two children chasing the carriage immediately surrounded her, and the other refugees also looked at them.
"Please, madam, give us something to eat."
Yin Qiqi squatted down, looked at the poor children and asked, "where are you going?"
"We didn't want to go anywhere, we just wanted to get something to eat on the side of the road." The first child said.
In front of Yan Qiqi's eyes, "that means your village is nearby?"
"Yes, it's over there."
The head child pointed to a small village not far away. There was a river in front of the village. The grass in front of the river was a little green, and the hopping locusts could be seen.
"Child, we don't bring much food, but I can go to your house to make food for you. Will you take me to your house?"
"What are you talking about, ma'am? There is nothing else to eat in our family. The rice is eaten up by locusts. If there is anything to eat, the children will not come out to beg for food from you. " Next to the great humanity, they were waiting for Yin Qiqi to give food to the children, and then came up to rob them. When they heard Yin Qiqi's words, they felt that she was fooling people.
Yin Qiqi said with a smile, "isn't there a lot to eat? Wuqing and traceless Qingsong, go to find a cage and catch all the locusts for me. "
"Mrs. song, what do you want locusts to do?" No clear questions.
Yin Qiqi said, "eat."They looked at her suspiciously. Can locusts eat? I'm afraid it's not a joke, but when Yin Qiqi said that, they couldn't say it directly.
Yin Qiqi asked the children to take them to the village. As soon as they were near the village, the only green grass was full of locusts. When they reached for it, they could catch five or six.
Wuqing Wuchen and Xie Qingsong went to catch the locusts. Yin Qiqi asked them to take off their wings and put them in the bucket, and then covered them with the lid to prevent them from escaping. Yin Qiqi assured the villagers that they would eat, so he took out the pot and firewood.
The villagers were very hungry, and they didn't know what food Yin Qiqi could make for them, but when they saw their three carriages, they thought that if Yin Qiqi couldn't get anything to eat for them, they would rob their carriages, so they obediently listened to Yin Qiqi's words, set up a temporary stove, and took out the pot at home.
Yin Qiqi saw a big fish pond in front of the village gate. There was not much water left in the pond, and there was no fish. It can be seen that the villagers ate up all the fish in the fish pond after the food was eaten up by the locusts. Yin Qiqi looked at the wet fish pond, asked the villagers for more buckets, and came to the fish pond with buckets.
The village head said, "madam, we have finished all the fish in the pond. There are no fish. What are you going to do?"
"There are no fish, but there are mussels." Yin Qiqi.
There must be many mussels in this kind of fish pond near the water. Yin Qiqi took off his shoes and rolled up his trousers. As soon as he got out of the fish pond, he saw a big mussel.
The villagers didn't know how to eat the mussel, and the shell was too hard to eat, so they didn't think about eating the mussel. Because of this, there were too many mussels in the fish pond. In a short time, Yin Qiqi touched a bucket.
