There is no shortage of food on the way to escape famine, and Miss Luck is busy farming

Chapter 46: After taking the money, it depends on whether he is lucky enough

When they are attacked from both sides, they may not even be able to protect their own belongings.

Moreover, if the officers and soldiers in the city see the refugees rioting and come out to suppress them with force, everyone will be in danger.

A beating is considered a minor offense, but if officers and soldiers arrest someone and kill someone, it would be a serious crime.

Therefore, the old village chief had to stop everyone in time and not make trouble here.

But everyone was still angry: "Are we going to give them the carriage for free? Wouldn't that be an advantage to those shameless people?"

Seeing the old village chief in trouble, Qiao Ran thought for a while and said:
"I guess they want the carriage just as an excuse. They actually want silver or food. How about we give them some silver to buy the carriage. From now on, these two carriages will have nothing to do with them."

When the villagers in Qingshui Village heard this, they stopped working.

"This carriage originally belongs to our village, why should we give it to them? We already gave ten taels of silver to the old lady's family as compensation. These two carriages have nothing to do with them in the first place."

"Yeah, let's just not give it to them. Let's see what they can do? How can we still steal it?"

The people in the village were clamoring and were unwilling to distribute the carriage to the people in the three villages.

Qiao Ran raised her head and looked at the sky, but she didn't want to continue to waste time here.

She turned back to her carriage and came over soon.

He stretched out his hand in front of the old village chief, and in his palm was a ten-tael silver ingot.

"Grandpa, village chief, we don't need to bother with them here. Since they want money, we will give it to them. There are ten taels of silver here. I will go with you and give it to them. Do they like it? Anyway, these two We must not give them a carriage!"

The old village chief waved his hands quickly: "No, no, no, how can I ask for your money? This is a matter for our entire village. We all can collect the money together."

When everyone saw that Qiao Ran had taken out the money and heard what the old village chief said, although they were not willing to let the people from the three villages take advantage, they were not willing to let Qiao Ran bear the burden alone, so they all said that they would pool the money together.

Qiao Ran said: "It's getting late. Grandpa, the village chief, let's go give them the money first, and then get on the road quickly! This money is considered to be lent by me to the village, and we can talk about it after settling down!"

She thought to herself that it was not easy for her, Qiao Ran, to take advantage of her. Since the three village chiefs were so shameless, she didn't have to be polite to them!

She had tampered with the money, so she had to take it herself and not let the old village chief touch it.

And that shameless Chen Lizheng took her money just to see if he would be lucky enough to enjoy it!

When the old village chief heard what she said, he could only take Qiao Ran and go back to find Li Zheng.

Chen Lizheng looked at the ten taels of silver, with obvious disgust on his face: "Old Lin, a carriage is worth dozens or hundreds of taels, so you just give me ten taels of silver? This can't be justified, right?"

The old village chief didn't want to talk nonsense to him any more, and his attitude was a little tough: "Chen Lizheng, we don't talk secretly. This carriage was originally given to us Qingshui Villagers. You insist on dividing it, and we don't want to fight with you here." It’s a waste of time, so I collected these ten taels of silver. If you want it, just accept it, if you don’t want it, forget it, but we will not share the carriage with you under any circumstances!”

Seeing his tough attitude, although Chen Lizheng was unwilling, he was embarrassed to snatch the carriage over.

Besides, he is in desperate need of money to buy grain. If it is a carriage, he may not be able to sell it. Moreover, if he sells the carriage, the villagers will ask him to part with it.

It's better to collect the ten taels of silver yourself and use it quietly for your own family.Thinking of this, he said reluctantly: "Aren't I thinking about the people in our three villages? After all, you have carriages, food, and silver coins. The conditions are much better than those in our three villages. Everyone. The folks in the village, who are more or less related to each other, just think of it as helping us!"

The old village chief shook his head in disappointment and didn't want to waste any more time, so he turned around and left.

Qiao Ran threw ten taels of silver directly into Chen Lizheng's hand, gave him a meaningful look, and turned around to follow the old village chief back.

As she turned around, from the corner of her eye she caught a few fierce glances directed at her.

You don't need to think about it to know that it must be Mrs. Chen's family.

Ha, Qiao Ran sneered.

Dare you stare at her?She hasn't had time to settle accounts with them yet!
But don't worry, they will meet again!

These people naively think that if they stay here, they can wait for resettlement and relief from the government. What a wonderful idea!

Looking at this situation, the prefect of Yunzhou City planned not to open the city gate until death, and let the refugees starve to death outside the city.

More and more refugees are gathering at the city gate, and few are willing to go to other state capitals. No one wants to leave.

But if the city gate is opened and so many refugees pour in, it will be a disaster for the people in the city.

The hungry refugees could even exchange their food for food.
Is there anything they can't do?

I'm afraid the bandits are not so scary when they enter the village!
Therefore, the prefect will never dare to open the city gate, and both sides can only spend so much time.

The people in Chenjiacun would eventually follow them to other neighboring states. When Qingshui Village settled down first, she would think about how to avenge the original owner.

Qiao Ran thought and ignored those glances.

Behind him, Chen Li was staring at the back of the old village chief with sinister eyes.

He has long disliked this old guy!
If the old guy hadn't gotten older, he wouldn't have been able to take the high position here.

The county magistrate wanted the old guy to be the upright one. He spent money to establish connections. He told the county magistrate that the old guy was old and might not be able to take the rightful position here, so he took over the fat job. .

As an upright person, there is a lot to be gained, and he has also benefited a lot from Qingshui Village in the past few years.

If that old guy knew that the position of leader here was originally his, I don't know how angry he would be, hahaha!Hey hey hey!
The old village chief had no idea what Chen Lizheng was secretly thinking, so he angrily took Qiao Ran back to Qingshui Village.

Seeing that he was back, everyone immediately packed up and got ready to hit the road again.

The old village chief remembered the results of everyone's show of hands vote two days ago and asked again: "We will separate from the other three villages and continue moving forward. Most of you agree to leave, then I will ask one last time , who else is willing to stay? We are not forced to leave or stay, but I want to know who is willing to move forward, and I have to know it in my heart, so as not to lose people on the road."

After hearing what the village chief said, the villagers who originally wanted to stay in Yunzhou couldn't help but change their minds after looking at the situation at the city gate.
