When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Li Yunze gathered everyone together and told them about the current situation.
"Fellow fellows, you can't drink the water in the mountains anymore. If you are willing, you can follow me.
If you want to stay here, I will ask someone to come over and find a water source for you nearby and see if we can dig two deep wells.
But I have to tell you, even if you dig a well, you may not be able to produce water. "
The villagers didn't believe what he said, thinking that this young man must have something up his sleeve.
Now even the imperial court doesn't care about the life and death of the people, leaving them to fend for themselves.
Why did this young man who met by chance help them for no reason? They also spend a lot of money to help them find water sources and build wells.
But Li Zheng from the two villages had different views. They now had no food, no water, and no money. What could others deceive them?
They knew better that there was no water here.
The deepest old well in the village has dried up. If it doesn't rain, even drilling a well will be useless.
If he stayed any longer, he would either die of thirst or starve. If he followed them, he might still have a chance to survive.
Since that's the case, why not give it a try boldly?
Li Zheng from Xiongjia Village bowed his hand to Li Yunze, "Master, can you give us a quarter of an hour to discuss it?"
Li Yunze nodded, "Do you want to follow me? It depends on your own wishes. Don't force me to join you."
He pointed at Qin Changan, "This is Qin Zhifu of Dongyang County. He heard that someone here was sick and asked a doctor to come and treat you."
When they heard that he was the Qin magistrate of Dongyang County, they knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly, "Common people see you, sir."
Qin Changan hurriedly helped the person up, but he was thinking in his heart, what are you doing by kneeling down to me in front of His Highness the Crown Prince?
Fortunately, His Royal Highness has a broad mind. If it were brothers Li Yunkai and Li Yunhao, I might have to be careful.
But he said gently: "You two, please get up quickly."
I saw that the several doctors who had followed me were sitting together and talking, a little far away from here.
He then whispered to the two Li Zhengs: "This young master can't bear to see you suffer, so he wants to take you away.
It's not convenient for me to tell you his identity now, but I can guarantee that he is definitely a good person who can save you from trouble. "
The two Li Zheng said happily: "Of course we believe Mr. Qin, please wait a moment, we will go to discuss with the villagers now."
Ye Yutong took out several large bundles from the carriage, which contained black noodle vegetables.
I gave two to each of the doctors, and one to each of the sick old people and children.
In the end, there were five or six left, one for each of the two young men who led the way. The remainder was divided among the youngest children.
"Thank you, girl." Everyone held the Wowotou and kowtowed to Ye Yutong in emotion.
Ye Yutong helped a few old people near her and said, "Old people, please get up quickly and follow us from now on. I can't guarantee anything else. There are still a few Wowotou every day."
"Girl, let alone a few cornbreads a day, we are willing to give you even one."
Ye Yutong smiled and didn't agree to anything else. It wasn't because she couldn't bear it, but because there were too many people.
Now I don’t know what the character of these people is? When we get to the mountain, let’s eat based on the fruits of our own labor!
There were more than twenty people when they arrived, and hundreds of people followed them when they left.
Qin Changan did not let them enter the city, and asked the porridge cook to cook a few more pots, and each of them scooped a bowl for them.
Early the next morning, Li Yunze and Ye Yutong pulled two carts of coarse grains and handed them to Li Zheng from the two villages, and told them the route to Lingnan Mountain.
"Two old men, it's about ten days' journey from here to Qingshan Town. When the time comes, give the letter to the person I mentioned, and he will find a way to take you to my home."
"We understand, sir."
Li Zheng from Xiongjia Village asked: "Sir, are these grains really for us to eat on the road?"
"Yes, for you."
"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir." The two of them wanted to kneel down and say thank you.
Li Yunze stopped them quickly and said, "Two old men, hurry up and take the villagers on their way. There are dozens of medicines in the car, which I asked the doctor to prescribe. I will give them to those who are vomiting on the way."
"Yes, thank you sir for being so thoughtful."
Ye Yutong warned them again, "Don't drink raw water on the road. Be sure to boil the water before drinking it."
"I know, Miss Ye."
Three to four hundred people from the two villages took a small road to Qingshan Town.
Ye Mingxuan and Ye Mingzhe were on the farm, teaching the experienced farmers step by step how to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes.
Watching them correctly plant sweet potatoes and potatoes into the ground made me feel relieved.
Yan San has already contacted the buyers here, and they are the same regular customers from last time.
Liu Tongzhi's housekeeper also heard about it and ordered a lot of fruits and vegetables, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and eggs.
The Tongpan family also secretly brought a large cart of coarse grains over to exchange for things.
Ye Yutong prepared a hundred eggs, fifty duck eggs, fifty goose eggs, and several baskets of fruits and vegetables.
Six chickens, six geese, ten rabbits, and two jars of wine. Let his two brothers deliver it to Qin Changan's house.
Mrs. Qin's eyes widened when she looked at the carriage of goodies.
It’s not that she is ignorant, she is also a lady in the capital, and she has eaten and seen countless good things.
But in the past year or two, I have never seen such fresh fruits and vegetables, and such big eggs.
Ye Mingzhe smiled and said: "Brother, sister-in-law, my sister and brother-in-law asked me to bring this over. It's all the product of our own family. I brought it here for you to try. Isn't it a good thing? Don't dislike it."
Mrs. Qin looked at the boy in front of her and called her "sister-in-law" so affectionately.
Those who didn't know thought he was her brother-in-law.
She looked at her husband-in-law doubtfully.
Qin Changan laughed and said: "Madam, these are the two brothers I just recognized yesterday. I haven't had time to tell you yet. You go and prepare a table. I will have a drink with my two brothers today."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said: "So that's it. Two brothers, please sit in the room."
The two brothers smiled and cupped their hands, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
After Mrs. Qin went out, Qin Changan asked: "Mingxuan, Mingzhe, are these fruits and poultry really grown and raised by your own family?"
"Yes, brother. Not only that, our family also feeds fat pigs, sheep, cows, and horses. There are so many."
Qin Changan looked at the things in the car again. He didn't say anything for a long time, but he was very shocked in his heart.
He had never seen such big chicken, duck and goose eggs, as well as those fat chickens, fat rabbits, and fat geese.
To raise these poultry like this, it's not just about eating grass. These poultry must eat grain.
It seems that His Royal Highness is far more powerful than he imagined.
He is now very much looking forward to the high-yielding grains grown in the fields, and he has more confidence in His Royal Highness.
I hope that His Highness will regain the throne as soon as possible and revitalize Yunchao Kingdom.
Ye Mingxuan pointed to the two jars of wine in the car and said, "This wine was also made by my sister and my brother-in-law. There are only these two jars left. My brother-in-law asked you to come over and ask you to taste it. How do you like it?"
Qin Changan came back to his senses and asked in surprise: "Master Li and Mrs. Li can also make wine?"
Ye Mingxuan said politely: "The two of them were just thinking about it. We don't understand wine, and we don't know how well they make it?"
He said this out of complete humility, and people who had drank this wine had already given the answer.
Qin Changan opened the wine jar, took a deep sniff, and said intoxicatedly: "It's really good wine. I didn't expect Mr. Li and Mrs. Li to have such skills."
