Chapter 237: Rumors Abound (2)
As the rumors intensified, the price of rice rose wildly, and the people were in a state of panic, fearing that those in power would continue to recruit men and send the only mature labor force in the family to the front line.

Although the government posted an announcement promising that it would not continue to levy or increase taxes, the effect was not very good.Everyone is panicked.Some people even send their young and middle-aged laborers to the mountains to escape.

In this regard, Su Li shook his head and sighed.The villagers of Hehua Village are also like the rumors outside, and their hearts are beating drums.Some of my family went to the front to fight, and my family was gloomy, some were crying, and some were moaning.Even Liu Zhaoshi and Liu Caoshi wiped their tears all day long.

Because Gou Xiong didn't mention his cousin Liu Wang in his letter to Su Li.This made Liu Zhaoshi's heart torn apart.Fangfo had already seen Liu Wang lying in a pool of blood.She can't face Liu Cao's bluntly, but that's her only son, and it's all for this family.

Mrs. Liu Cao felt uncomfortable, and Mrs. Liu Zhao was crying, and she was on the verge of collapse. Even cousin Liu Wei in the sweetheart room made frequent mistakes when making desserts.

"Hey, have you heard that our army was attacked by the Qi Yue Kingdom, causing countless casualties."

"How come I didn't hear about it? It's a crime. I also heard that the military rations were robbed. I'm afraid we will have to buy food again this time. Whether we can buy rice or not is still a question. Hey!"

"Really? Then I have to buy some more and keep them at home."

"You said that there are so many casualties, will you continue to recruit men?"

One day when Su Li was inspecting Sweetheart House, he saw that there were few people on the street, everyone was anxious, and some whispered.That's all he said.

Su Li sighed again, let alone this town, even the whole Hehua Village was in a downturn.She felt uncomfortable and at the same time worried about her husband who was on the front line.

As winter slowly entered, the people in the whole village were either sighing or frowning.Su Li patted the table and decided to hold a collective meeting for the whole village to enlighten everyone.

It has only been more than ten days before and after this, and it has already become like this.If it goes on like this for a long time, is it okay?

"Little Ya, you are going to call all the managers and uncles to my study and tell them that I have something to ask them." Su Li decided to discuss it internally before the meeting.

"Yes, ma'am!" Xiaoya led the way out.Su Li hugged the bear cub, and sighed again in his heart.

After half an hour.

"Ma'am, except for the sweetheart house, all other managers have arrived." Xiao Ya took the Xiong Xiong from Su Li's hand and said to Su Li.

"Sister-in-law, you can come too!" Su Li said, taking a look at Xiaocui who was sewing clothes for Xiaoroubao and Xiongxiong.

"Me? Otherwise, sister-in-law won't go, this little meat bun is still sleeping, no one is watching." Xiaocui didn't expect Su Li to call her, so she couldn't help being a little surprised.

"It's okay, Xiaoya, let Xiaocao watch, you all come here together. I have something to discuss with you and see everyone's opinions."

She, Su Li, doesn't care about the atmosphere in other places.But the lotus village had to be changed, and what happened to the front line, she really wanted to go and see.

Hearing what Su Li said, the two nodded.

Before Su Li and the others approached the study, they felt the oppressive atmosphere coming from inside, and they felt a little unhappy.

With a sound of "Yiya", the door opened.Looking at the people inside, Su Li couldn't help but nodded.

"Today, I came here to discuss something with you." Su Li said straight to the point.

"What's the matter, just tell me directly!" It was Liu Shufan who said this, and his worried brows couldn't be smoothed over the past few days because of the people in the village.

"Let me ask everyone, what do you think about the attack on our Handong barracks this time? Just say it, and I will tell you my opinion later."

It may be because of Su Li's words. As soon as the words fell, uncle Liu Ming's eyes were red, and he said in a rough voice: "What else, no matter what, it is our common people who suffer in the war. Now my family, Awang Life and death are uncertain, and I don't know if I can see each other in this life."

"Brother, the Ngawangji people have their own nature, I believe it will be fine. Isn't there a dog bear to help take care of it?" The second uncle Liu Liang also had a sad face. Compared with the uncle, he looked a little bit Calm down.

"Ma'am, the children in our family are still young. If we want to recruit a son again, I can only go. But if I go this time, what should our wives and children do?"

Liu Fugui had a look of vicissitudes on his face, he was obviously only in his twenties, and it seemed that he couldn't even straighten his back at this moment.

"Madam, I, Xu Maohua, am not a person who covets life and fears death. If there is such a day, I want to go to the battlefield, and I hope Madam can take care of my family."

Xu Maohua is only around thirty, but because of his late marriage, the eldest son is only around eight years old.When he said this, he also sighed deeply.

Seeing this situation, Su Li understood what they were worried about without the need for others to continue talking.Now that Hehua Village has her as her support, she doesn't have to worry about food and clothing.

But once they are recruited, they will not be tolerated.People don't fight with officials, especially when Haoyue is in danger.But once this is recruited, it is still a question of whether he can come back alive in the future.

"You guys are thinking too much. I didn't ask you here for this. I want to ask everyone about the price increase of food and other items."

But at this time, no one would worry about this, especially when they were guaranteed food and clothing, they didn't care about the outside world at all.

On the other hand, Su Hao still pays attention to him all the time.Just listen to him: Don't you need to worry about this problem.It is impossible to recruit Ding now. After all, the current emperor is diligent in government and loves the people, and the recruitment of Ding last year was also a last resort.

Now even if the front line is in an emergency, they will not be recruited if they think about it.It's just that the rumors are getting worse for some reason, as if someone deliberately fanned the flames.

You think, the government government has posted announcements from the beginning to the end saying that there will be no tax collection and no increase in taxes.Why don't you believe them all?I don't know who is playing the role, but I know that it is inseparable from the person who took the opportunity to think about the country's crisis and make a fortune.

Today's prices of rice noodles are even higher than last year.A catty of ordinary rice, plus it is actually more than ten times the original amount.Have you ever thought about this question?
If you say, if your little sister doesn't give you a guarantee, how will you live, what will you eat, and what will you use?Where do you get the money to buy these?Maybe you have worked hard for a month, but it is not enough to sell a catty of rice noodles...

The more Su Hao analyzed, the more calm down the people in the study became.That's right, the government officials have said that they won't recruit men, so what are they afraid of?
