Fierce wife and sister-in-law

"Xiao Rong, you are here."

Seeing Tian Rong coming, Liang Cong gave her a quick look, and the two of them walked through the lobby towards the courtyard behind.

"Xiao Rong, I was just going to find you."

"Is something going to change?" Tian Rong asked this question before she sat down.

Liang Cong poured a bowl of tea for Tian Rong, asked her to sit down, nodded and said, "There's going to be a war. Maybe the imperial court will have to collect grain again after the autumn. Do you have to be prepared?"

"Collect food?" If Liang Cong hadn't suggested this, Tian Rong would never have thought about it.

But when Liang Cong said this, she immediately realized that it was the common people who had always suffered from wars. It seemed that this was true.

"Well, Liang Cong, how long do you think this battle will last?"

"It's hard to say. The Nanman barbarians have often harassed our border over the years. This time the imperial court sent troops to conquer because it couldn't bear it anymore."

"Send troops when they are sent. Why the sudden recruitment? These people have never been on the battlefield, so if they are dragged here like this, wouldn't they be destined to die?"

"Xiao Rong, don't say this nonsense."

Liang Cong hurriedly walked over and closed the door tightly, then returned to the house and whispered to Tian Rong,

"The imperial court has been undergoing frequent changes in recent years, and several major civil wars have consumed too much manpower and material resources. If the old general hadn't insisted this time and had to give the Southern Barbarians a severe blow, I'm afraid the young emperor would not have sent troops to fight. of these people.”

Tian Rong had also heard that a little emperor under ten years old was in charge of this court.

In fact, the people behind the scenes who are really in charge are the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother's brother, the Prime Minister who holds all the power in the government.

"What about conscription?"

"Alas!" Liang Cong sighed heavily when talking about the conscription. "Although the young emperor agreed with the old general to send troops to the southern barbarians, he only gave some old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers. In desperation, the old general could only petition the court again to force the recruitment of troops."

"Huh?" Tian Rong didn't understand what was going on here.

"Actually, this is also a helpless move by the old general. Although the soldiers recruited have little experience, they are better than the old, weak, sick and disabled.

I guess, based on the temperament of the old general, he may have wanted to gather these people together, and he personally trained a group of his own soldiers, which was what forced him to this point. "

Speaking of this, Liang Cong seemed to remember something and looked at Tian Rong and said, "We can't control these matters in the court, but there is something you don't know yet, right?"

"Oh, what's the matter?"

"Xiao Rong, your eldest brother has also been taken away,"

"Ah!" After hearing this, Tian Rong stood up suddenly, "How could he be my eldest brother?"

"Xiao Rong, don't worry, your eldest brother is going on his own. Your second brother was originally going, but your eldest brother said nothing to let him go. Things are already like this, Xiao Rong, I think the eldest brother thinks this is an opportunity. .”

The eldest brother Tian Dahai was also drafted into the army. Although Tian Rong was a little surprised, she thought that if there were two sons in the family now, which family would not be taken away?

What's more, my mother's family happens to have two strong young men.

"You mean, this general might..."

At this point, Tian Rong did not dare to say anything further, but Liang Cong already understood what she meant.

"Although the major affairs of the imperial court are beyond the control of ordinary people like us, I believe that with the courage of the old general, perhaps this southern barbarian campaign will also be a gathering of strength.

Once the old general gains his own power, I think things may really change for us in Daliang. "

Listening to Liang Cong's words, Tian Rong once again raised her finger to this man from the bottom of her heart. How blind is the original owner? It’s funny that he can’t see that the man in front of him is the one who will become something great. Instead, he chooses that childish Li Xizhu.

"Well, your analysis makes sense. The outcome of the little emperor being coerced is either to be killed or to have his power usurped. Unless the little emperor himself has the forbearance of King Gou Jian of Yue, it will be almost impossible to come back against the odds."

"Xiao Rong, I didn't expect you to say such things. I thought you were married and only knew what women do. I didn't expect you to be even more powerful than before."

Tian Rong's words also scared Liang Cong, and at the same time made him appreciate Tian Rong even more.

"I've just heard too many people talk nonsense here. These discussions have nothing to do with us. Well, Liang Cong and my man Li Xizhu were also recruited into the army. He was captured directly in the town. Look at me Can I meet him once?"

boom……

Hearing this, Liang Cong stood up angrily and cursed,

"These dog people have really ruined the reputation of the old general. The old general has repeatedly said that he must sort out the people's emotions and not force them. Isn't this still the case?"

"Oh, you don't have to worry. The order from the top has changed a bit at the end. Then can I take a look at Li Xizhu before he leaves and bring him some clothes?"

"You come over again tomorrow, and I will find someone to ask you today."

"Well, thank you then. Liang Cong, I won't sit here any longer. My eldest brother has also been drafted into the army. I have to go visit my parents' house."

"Okay, I'll ask my sister-in-law if she wants to talk to my eldest brother. I'll ask you too."

"Thank you very much, Liang Cong."

"Why are you being polite to me?" Liang Cong asked carefully as Tian Rong stood up, "Tian Rong, what I just told you, you should go back and think about it carefully."

"What did you say?" Looking at Liang Cong, Tian Rong suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly and sheepishly, "You see that I am paying attention to Li Xizhu's matter. Are you talking about the imperial court's grain collection in the autumn?"

"Well, I'm afraid that if this war breaks out, the imperial court will take the opportunity to interfere with the people's food collection. You need to be prepared in your mind."

"Did you say stock up on food?"

"Store some to be prepared. It's best if we don't force the goods. If we force the goods, it will be troublesome."

"So, Liang Cong, you are planning to hoard a large amount of food, right?"

"The boss behind me is already doing this. I heard that he has stocked up a lot of food, so I will remind you now."

"Okay, thank you Liang Cong, I understand." Tian Rong nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard, walked through the lobby and went straight to the street.

Tian Rong had fast legs and didn't hire a bullock cart, so she walked towards her parents' home on foot.

While walking, Tian Rong pondered Liang Cong's words in her mind. Do we really need to stock up on food?

Tian Rong, who has lived in the apocalypse, understands the truth all too well. Once food becomes a scarce commodity, wherever there is food, there will be wind outlets, and it will be a dangerous place.

Liang Cong only thought of preventive measures, but she never thought that once she hoarded food, everyone would be hungry and her Tian Rong family would become the target of public criticism.

Therefore, when hoarding food, you either have enough power like the boss behind Liang Cong, or you have to keep it a secret and never let anyone know.

But Tian Rong didn't want to do this. She thought of Mr. Li Zheng. If the whole village could stock up on food in advance, would everyone survive if the crisis really came?

Wouldn't you be in a dangerous situation?

Tian Rong is least afraid of this kind of killing, but now that she has Fuya, she can kill decisively single-handedly, but she knows that she has concerns, so she must think twice before doing anything.
