"It's okay if you want me to help transport food, but if you want to transport it, it's best to give it to me before leaving, so that I can make arrangements in advance."
Li Rui knew that Xie Yanzhi was capable, and so did Li Yuan.
Not to mention anything else, just the people she knew, they didn't know.
Arrangements must be made in advance to transport the food safely, and there will be no problem.
Thinking like this, he asked: "Mother Yuan, do you want to have people transport the food to Luyang Mansion first?"
Li Yuan wants to put it in the space, but since he thinks so, let him think so.
With this in mind, she replied: "Yeah! So, second brother, ask other clan members if they want me to help transport them in advance. I believe that every household has stocked up a lot, and they carry it with them all the way, not to mention it is eye-catching." , It’s still very inconvenient. If there is any, you ask them to keep enough rations for the road, and send the rest to me. I have to go to the county to find the Min family leader and Brother Cao before we leave. "
"Okay, Yuan Niang, thank you!"
"Why are you so polite? You are either my family or my tribe. Only if you are well, will Brother Xie and I be well. Second brother, you must implement this matter as soon as possible. We are eighteen today."
"Okay! If you want to transport something in advance, it will be weighed and recorded by the clan. Then the clan will put one copy of the list and you will have one. When you return to Luyang Mansion, you will follow the type and weight of the grain recorded on the list. Count them and give them back to them."
"Okay! This way, everyone will have less food, and it will be easier to walk on the road."
"That's right! Yuan Niang, it's getting late now, and you've been tired for the whole day, so hurry up and take a rest. I'll try my best to confirm this matter before twenty."
"Okay, no more than twenty-five at the latest."
"Um!"
Because the Li family yard was empty, the carriage was parked in the stable.
After Li Yuan waited for Wang Can to close the door, she waved her hand and put the medicinal materials in the carriage back into the space.
Wang Can lit the oil lamp, looked at Li Yuan who was fetching water, and asked: "Sister, do you want everyone to send the rest to you except for the food they eat on the road?"
"Yes! Can Niang, you also know the situation outside. When you came back, it was the end of April, and it was such a mess outside. Now it is mid-to-late May, and the situation outside is probably even more serious. People outside are short of food and water, so we have to leave. At that time, although there were more people, there was more food. Do you think those people could not be jealous?"
Wang Can wanted to say that it was useless even if those people were jealous, there were so many of them.
But when she thought of the scene of escaping from famine in her previous life, she couldn't say such words.
It is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.
If they are targeted by bad guys, it will do them no good at all.
Thinking of this, she said: "It's good for you to leave all the food, sister. When the time comes to leave, let everyone wear some ragged clothes and treat it as if they are escaping."
"Well, this clan should have thought about it, so we don't have to worry."
As time went by, the weather became hotter and hotter, and the water in Liuyun River evaporated extremely quickly, as if it had been roasted by a fire.
In less than half a month, a lot of the river bed was exposed. The water that was originally unknown how many meters deep is now only as deep as an adult's knees.
Many people's fields in Liuyun County have long been sun-cracked and withered and yellow as far as the eye can see, while the things planted in the fields have long since withered.
Fortunately, we are planting drought-tolerant sweet potatoes. Even if they are killed by the sun, the sweet potatoes buried in the ground, regardless of their size, can still be harvested more or less.
It was already the third day of June, and because the people in Lijia'ao had stocked up on water in advance, and because they were closest to the Liuyun River, the crops in the fields would not be exposed to the sun.
It's just that everyone doesn't dare to go out during the day. Even if they go to fetch water from the river, they only dare to do so after the sun sets and the ground is not so hot.
Li Yuan was at Li Qinghua's home and said to him: "Uncle Hua, please hurry up and collect all the sweet potatoes these days. It's too hot to go out during the day, so rest during the day and collect them at night. We have to go, no later than the beginning of the year You have to leave before ten.”
"Okay! There are many of us, and there are few vehicles. We rely on our feet to walk, and the speed is slow. It's time to leave. Otherwise, if it starts to rain heavily, we haven't even left the boundaries of Liuyun County."
"Well! Today is the third day of the Lunar New Year. I'll give you three days to harvest the sweet potatoes, and then three more days to clean up their homes. We'll leave on the ninth and tenth day of the Lunar New Year. It's just that it's too hot today, and the ground is very hot. Then let everyone I’ll leave at night.”
"Okay! But Yuan Niang, the sweet potatoes in Lijia'ao are of the variety you gave me. I dug them in the past two days and found that they have many fruits and are quite big. I'm afraid this harvest won't be good for people of all ages. Good luck. Can you do the same as last time and ask everyone to save some for food on the road, and you can find a way to help transport the rest? Of course, I won't ask you to help in vain. I will make it clear to them then. Let them give you whatever you pay for your hard work. I know that what you guys give may not be as good as the freight you paid, but..."
Because the production speed of the space has slowed down for Li Yuan, and there is a super large granary, the food of people like Li Jia'ao is nothing to her.
She just has a certain attitude towards helping others, and she doesn't want the incident of friendship and enmity to happen to her.
So after helping once, I will not take the initiative to help again.
Since people have suggested that even if she is not lacking at all, she still needs to receive some symbolic "hard work pay".
At least let the clan members and other people who left with him know that in the world, there is no reason why you can always help in vain.
With this thought in mind, she agreed: "Okay! Uncle Hua, tell everyone to hurry up. I will take time to go to the city again today. In the past two days, you have to keep track of the sweet potatoes from door to door. By the way, The newly dug sweet potatoes are heavier and carry a little bit of soil, so the weight will have to be reduced appropriately. Uncle Hua, you have to make this clear to everyone, so as not to get confused later."
"Okay, I will. When I record it, I will tell them how many pounds they have lost. The list given to you will be after weight loss. Then you can distribute it to everyone according to the list."
"Well! Uncle Hua, after you have weighed it, have people put it in baskets or sacks just like last time, and send it to the same place as last time. I will take the people of the Min family and Brother Cao to transport it there. .
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Yuanyuan!"
"It's not hard. Uncle Hua, please let everyone be more agile and don't dilly-dally."
"good!"
As soon as Li Yuan left, Li Qinghua rang the Li clan's bronze bell again.
At present, in addition to the sweet potatoes from the Li family'ao people, those from the married women and the clan's daughter-in-law's natal family have also been confiscated.
