Chapter 67
But it’s not okay to let the refugees fend for themselves outside the city. You know, people can do anything in order to survive.

However, Kaiyang County is just a small local county town, and the guards are not real officers and soldiers, but county government servants.

The county magistrate is the smallest official, and has no right to mobilize officers and soldiers. All he can mobilize are the government servants under his jurisdiction, and at most a hundred people.

However, there were more than a hundred refugees gathered outside the city. They were just scattered in all directions, and they seemed to be scattered everywhere, but in fact there were no less than a thousand, or even more.

If someone thought about it and came to attack Kaiyang County like Xia Beiming and the others organized a water grab before, how long could it last here?
So since she came in today, she will buy everything that can be bought, regardless of money, after all, she is not short of money now.

Just as he was thinking, someone came in a hurry from the city. It was the person who had reported to him earlier. Behind him were several people, one of whom was wearing an official uniform. Ye Lan guessed that he was the county magistrate of Kaiyang County.

A little surprised, she just went to the city to buy things, shouldn't the county magistrate personally greet her?
In fact, she was thinking too much, the county magistrate did not come for her, he saw her on the city wall, cast his eyes outside the city, and then murmured: "What should I do? More and more refugees gather outside the city, and there is no news from the Mingzhou government, if this continues, Kaiyang County will be in danger!"

No one answered him, not even the yamen servants, and Ye Lan didn't open his mouth because of the attitude that more things are worse than less things.

The county magistrate was walking around the city wall anxiously. When someone mentioned Ye Lan's matter, he just waved his hand and said, "Go ahead and buy whatever you want. Nowadays, all the shops in the city are selling goods at low prices. As far as you are concerned It's a good thing."

"But there is a problem. How should a girl get out of the city after buying good things? Those refugees will not just watch you transport the things away without changing their minds."

Indeed, Ye Lan looked at those refugees with inexplicable expressions. Once the kind and simple people were in distress, the darkest scene in their hearts completely exploded.

In order to survive, they throw away their kindness, show their fangs, and aim at others, as well as those closest to them.

Can they be blamed?

No, it's just a helpless choice in a desperate situation. If it were her, she would also make a last resort choice.

Therefore, even if these people repay their kindness with revenge, she can't kill them, just treat them as if they don't exist, and turn a blind eye to their plight.

Facing the inquiry from the magistrate of Kaiyang County, she only said softly: "It's okay, I can go out."

The county magistrate of Kaiyang frowned, but he didn't say anything. He had too many things to worry about, and Wuxia cared about the safety of a little girl.

So he said: "It's good if you can go out, little six, accompany her to the street to buy, if you need anything, you can point out to her. After buying, let her go out through the back door, there are fewer people there."

Little Six replied: "Yes, Your Excellency the County Magistrate."

Then he turned his head and made a gesture of invitation to Ye Lan, saying: "Girl, this way please."

Ye Lan didn't say anything more, turned around and left with the little six, leaving only the county magistrate to worry about the refugees outside the city.

There is a commercial street in Kaiyang County. There are restaurants, teahouses, pawnshops, cloth shops, rouge gouache shops, etc. on the street.

There were only a few people on the supposedly bustling street, and they didn't stay too long, and left in a hurry after buying what they needed.

When passing by Ye Lan, he looked at her curiously, after all, Kaiyang County hadn't seen a new face for a long time.

"Hey, Liu Zi, what are you doing here if you're not on duty at the tower? Who is this girl next to you? She looks unfamiliar."

This person was familiar with Little Six at first glance, and while greeting Little Six, he didn't forget to ask Ye Lan who was beside him.

The little six replied: "Oh, Brother Zhang, I am following the order of the county magistrate to bring this girl to the street to buy. She is not from our Kaiyang County, and she is not familiar with the county. Now is a special period. This girl is not familiar with her place of birth in our Kaiyang County, and the county magistrate was also afraid that she would spend too much time searching for things in the city, so he asked me to guide her."

"Oh, that's it. Then you are busy. I'll go back first. Come to my house for a drink if you have time."

"It's easy to talk, old brother Zhang, go slowly."

The man knew that Ye Lan was not from Kaiyang County, and he left after shopping, so he didn't ask any more questions, and only invited the little six sons to drink at his house when he had time, and left in a hurry.

Seeing people walking away, Little Six turned around and said to Ye Lan: "Girl, we have already arrived at the central block of Kaiyang County, see what you want to buy, and I will guide you right away."

Ye Lan thought for a while, she can still supply food for the villagers for the time being, after all, after the space is expanded, there will be free labor of the big bear, basically every three days can harvest a crop.

What they lack most now is farm tools. They have both hands and seeds, but not enough farm tools for land reclamation. Although the villagers are hard-working, she can't just watch them work with their bare hands. They are all flesh and blood. Who can stand it after a long time.

Therefore, farm tools are a must, so he said: "Take me to buy some farm tools first, they are urgently needed in the village."

Xiaoliuzi was puzzled, logically speaking, if he could enter the city, shouldn't he buy a lot of grain?
He had already planned to persuade Ye Lan to give up buying grain, after all, grain is the best seller at this critical moment.

Not long after the disaster happened, the first consideration of urban residents was to stockpile grain, so the rice shop was the first to be emptied.

Unexpectedly, Ye Lan's first consideration is not food, but farm tools. Does this girl have some brain problems?

It's been a long time since it rained outside. I bought farm tools. Can the land be planted?
Even if it can be planted, but if there is no rain to water it after planting, the seeds will not survive.

So, this girl directly picked the most unpopular one, what do you think?

But if someone wants to buy it, he is just a guide, so he can't say anything, he can only lead the way, thinking about whether there is anyone in the blacksmith shop at the moment, if not, maybe he has to go to the blacksmith's house, okay? He believed that the blacksmith would not refuse to accept the business that was easy to come by.

Facts have proved that Ye Lan is still very lucky. When they came, the blacksmith shop was open, and there was a "ding ding dong dong" knocking sound coming from inside.

"Liu Tiejiang, you are here, come out quickly, there is business coming."

There was a knocking sound, and then a man of about forty or so walked out, his face was dark, he was wearing an apron that hadn't been washed for an unknown period of time, and he couldn't even tell the color, his eyes were clearly angry, seeing Xiao Liuzi, he didn't know Angrily said:

"I said six sons, what are you doing here to make me happy at this time? What's going on in the field? Who would come to buy farm tools if they have nothing to do?"
