Start of the famine: Take the crazy batch of sisters to farm and make a fortune

Chapter 581

The twelfth lunar month in Lian Yuan Prefecture is very cold, and the first lunar month in Biancheng Prefecture is even colder.

After picking and choosing, Ding Xuewei and her group lived in five houses close to the herdsmen, and truly experienced the scenery of the North.

They cooked, stewed, and roasted the sheep in succession, eating the meat until they became constipated. At the same time, they also heard all kinds of novel news.

There are smugglers who repeatedly raise the prices of marine products, Yihongyuan mysteriously disappears, border towns that have a large influx of ginseng but are doing military business, and there are also recent frequent movements in the Xiao Kingdom.

This day is the third day of the first lunar month, the third day after the national mourning.

Early in the morning, the herdsman's young couple served him hot milk tea.

Before breakfast was finished, the old master came back.

Brought new news that the garrisons of the two countries started fighting at midnight last night.

The Xiao Kingdom is located in the wilderness of the north and makes a living as a nomad.

Nomadic peoples all have basic national characteristics of being good at riding, shooting, and carrying snow and ice.

Historically, the snowy days in the twelfth lunar month of winter have always been a good time for the generals of the Xiao Kingdom.

They are used to the biting cold wind and galloping horses, but they often use the biting cold wind as a shield and the galloping horses as grass to challenge the imperial authority of Daxia.

At this time, Ding Xuewei had no idea whether the two countries were at war, but she was not surprised that Xiao Guoxuan attacked at this time.

Firstly, the snow has been extremely heavy in the past two days, which is advantageous for the generals of Xiao State to send troops. Secondly, the flow of people in the border town has reached an unprecedented number of more than [-]. Most of these people are carrying money from overseas and are well-fed. sheep.

"How is the war going?" Ding Xuewei asked with a deep look.

"..."

The old herdsman was stunned.

In the whole room, there were about twenty people, old and young, even Mr. Jiang, who was over fifty years old, all looked panicked, not to mention all the young people.

In a room full of young and old alike, who were equally horrified, the girl with cold eyes stood out.

When Ding Laowu arrived, Ding Xuewei pushed him when he needed to step forward.

Although I have only lived in this Muhu family for a few days, I still show nothing but the cuteness of a little girl.

Once her expression was calmer than that of the old border townspeople, the old herdsmen naturally found it strange.

Of course, it's just weird.

Although their party had no baggage vehicles, their carriages and horses were very well equipped, and the entire team was also very well manned.

The old herdsmen know very well that those who can drive to Lianyuan Mansion in December are not aware of the winter conditions in Lianyuan Mansion, but they are confident that they will not encounter problems in the severe cold of the twelfth lunar month.

This line of work, judging from the state when we first met, is undoubtedly the latter.

The latter is extremely powerful.

He may not know how wealthy families train the younger generation, but he knows what it means to be a hero.

A girl who can be taken out in such weather is definitely something extraordinary that ordinary people cannot imagine.

"It's not good." The old herdsman lowered his eyes: "There have been several battles at this time in previous years, but there has been no movement this year. I thought nothing would happen this year."

"Big Brother, in your opinion, could the situation be worse?" Mr. Jiang was very anxious.

Fortunately, my spirits have calmed down.

Mr. Jiang's question was on point.

The old herdsman raised his eyelids with a look of helplessness on his face: "I think our border army may not be able to handle it."

A large amount of sea goods entered the border town, and many smugglers and merchants traveled between the two countries.

Xiao Guo chose to endure the situation when sea goods had obvious beneficial value.

The notion that there will be no war between the two countries is a reasonable speculation circulating around town these days.

In other words, once Xiao Guo launches an assault, it proves that Xiao Guo's garrison no longer needs to accumulate useful materials.There is enough food, and the frontier troops are afraid of suffering heavy losses during these winter months.

Compared with the Xiao people who were born on horseback, the Daxia garrison not only lost in riding and shooting, but also in physical fitness.

Even when Fengcheng Prefecture started a nationwide operation, the border garrison received donated materials from the wealthy merchants and squires of Fengcheng Prefecture, and had an absolute supply of winter food and grass. In this battle, no one could guarantee that the Daxia garrison could resist.

"During this period, a large number of caravans have not only arrived from us, but also from Xiao Guo's side. Compared with the people from our side, the people from their side have more centripetal force. Once the border generals speak, those people will be more powerful than the garrison. Crazy. I heard that this young general from the Xiao Kingdom who is currently stationed here is extremely crazy. If he has intentions, our border town will definitely not be safe!" the old herdsman reminded.

"A few days ago, there was news that this young general entertained the leaders of various caravans. Now it seems that he is just the leader."

"Then~" Should we leave?

Mr. Jiang looked at Ding Xuewei.

"I'll go check out the situation." Ding Xuewei didn't think that Tang Ming and others would give someone such a big raft.

Since he dared to adopt such a method, he must have been prepared.

Ding Laowu heard the sound and stood up: "I will join you."

The two children of the Ding family have expressed their opinions, and it is impossible for the Jiang family to remain indifferent.

Jiang Lao Er and Jiang Lao San stood up without hesitation.

"I'll go by myself." Ding Xuewei glanced at the three of them and turned to Little Fu Niu: "Gather everyone together and the horses too."

Little Fu Niu, who was waiting for Ding Xuewei's arrangement, nodded immediately: "I understand, eldest sister."

How could Ding Laowu and the Jiang brothers let her go out as a girl? But before she opened her mouth, Jiang Lao said: "Listen to Xuewei."

Everyone in the Jiang family: "..."

Ding Laowu: "..."

If Mr. Jiang usually doesn't like Ding Xuewei, it makes sense that he would push her into a dangerous place.

This person, at certain times, is three points better towards other people's babies than his own.

"You should know better than me what kind of temper Xuewei has." This is what Mr. Jiang asked Ding Laowu.

Ding Laowu was dejected.

Not only does he know the temperament of his eldest niece, but he also knows how capable she is.

In Ding Laowu's view, if Ding Xuewei was not absolutely sure, it would be impossible to send the wolves away.

Not long after entering the borders of the border city, she dared to send away their bodyguard wolves, which meant that there were manpower available to her in the border city.

The old herdsmen thought they would leave immediately. After all, many people had already left the city at this time.

But I didn't expect that after people got over the initial panic, they would behave in such a surprising way.

For a moment, he didn't know whether he should lead his family to escape the disaster.

"Brother Jiang~"

After Little Fu Niu gathered all the people at her house and all the horses next door, the old herdsman made a bold decision.

Follow them.

Wealthy people like this are not afraid of us, so what are they afraid of?
At least, by following such a family, the possibility of one's own being killed would be minimized.

Ding Xuewei, who went directly to the city, didn't know what the situation was like on Little Fu Niu's side. How many caravans were packing their luggage and how many stores were packing their belongings outside the city, but she saw it clearly and clearly.

Not to mention the entire city, at least most people chose to avoid it.

"What is this?!" When she passed by a father and son, the young man complained: "Money is so important, and you are willing to betray the interests of the country and family for money?"

"We all come all the way to a place like this just for money. There's nothing others wouldn't dare to do for money." My father had a lot of eyesight, and his voice wasn't very nice, but he didn't have that much resentment.

He understood this situation.
