Food Delivery

Jiang Yan's eyes were filled with worry. Not long after the autumn harvest, there were so many bandits who were not afraid of death.

"Don't worry, you really don't believe me. I wrote a letter asking Magistrate Li to come and transport the grain in person. He cares more about late rice than we do, and he will definitely come here without stopping."

Jiang Yan shook her head at Qiao Le. What he was worried about was not this batch of grain, but the entire Linjia Village. The news of Linjia Village's bumper late rice harvest had already spread throughout the country, so how could those bandits not know about it!

Now because they still have food left in their hands, this group of bandits has probably not become a big trend yet. They have not yet run out of ammunition and food and need to make a desperate move. When more and more people become refugees, the situation will become even worse.

If too many people come, they will turn into bandits. When the time comes, Linjia Village will become the target of public criticism and their must-grab target!

Not to mention that the food supply of these 30 acres of land cannot be saved, when the time comes, I am afraid that everyone in the village will not be able to keep the food supply!

"I heard that many places can't survive. The imperial court has opened granaries, and relief food has been provided to the affected areas. The disaster food has not arrived in Linfang County yet?"

Jiang Wen shook his head. He knew more about this matter. "A few days ago, I went to the town and met some classmates. I gathered with them in a teahouse for a while and talked about the food disaster. I heard that it had arrived in Linfang.

The boundaries of the county are just affected by too many places this time. In addition to the drought in this area, the snow disaster in the east is also very serious. There are also severe floods in many places, and barbarians at the border also frequently invade."

Jiang Wen's face was heavy and his tone was full of regret, "I heard that there are also strife in the imperial court. Who cares about the masses of people? The relief food this time is not much in the first place, and with the corrupt officials exploiting them layer by layer, I'm afraid that

Not much of it can be distributed to the people."

Jiang Yan sighed and patted Jiang Wen's shoulder, "Don't think too much. We are just ordinary people. All we can do now is take care of our own lives."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen sighed deeply. He couldn't bear to see the naked children suffering on the streets, and the skinny people waiting to die. But now, there was nothing he could do.

The others also looked solemn, and the atmosphere was depressed for a while. If my mother hadn't made the family rich, they might be even more miserable than the people begging on the street.

Qiao Le looked at Jiang Yan, who had always been tenacious, with her brows furrowed. In his impression, Jiang Yan was always strategizing. Now that he saw her eyes filled with worry and her brows furrowed, he couldn't help but get up and walk over.

"Are you worried about Linjiacun?"

Jiang Yan raised her eyes and happened to meet those beautiful eyes that seemed to be filled with stars. She was surprised that Qiao Le had understood her thoughts.

"Linjia Village is like a tall and fat bear now. Those bandits dare not come to rob it now, just because their wings are not full yet. It is not that Linjia Village is strong enough. Maybe at the end of winter, maybe at the beginning of spring, Linjia Village is bound to suffer.

.”

Qiao Le tilted his head slightly. Under the gloomy sky, Jiang Yan's eyebrows seemed to be much more melancholy, and the corners of her eyes were dizzy with a different severity than before. He looked at those shallow fine lines and felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

He was just a cripple and couldn't do anything to help her. He even had to rely on her protection to live a stable life now.

His fists were clenched under the cover of his sleeves.

"Don't think too much. Things can still turn around. It's better to focus on the present. Since there are dangers on the way to transport food, the two of you, the boss and the second, will gather the workers in the factory and find a dozen strong and flexible people.

Escort, you two take the lead and escort Xiaowen to deliver food together!"

"It takes a long time to get back and forth from Linjia Village to Linfang County. Today, the weather is different every day. There is no guarantee that it will suddenly snow heavily at any time. It is better to send them there as soon as possible."

At least the Lin family doesn't have to worry about refugees and bandits. The walls of the newly built house are strong enough to be easily defended and difficult to attack. Moreover, Jiang Yan has stored enough food, rice and noodles, and there are water sources and vegetable plots. It is very safe to stay inside.

, she only worries about the people in this village.

But she is not a saint, and she does not have that much ability. She cannot help everyone. What she can do is take care of her own family.

"Little aunt, won't you come with us to deliver food?"

Jiang Yan patted Jiang Wen and said with a smile: "You are not a child. Lin Dong and Lin Nan have grown up. You can't ask me to take care of everything. Besides, I arranged for you to deliver food because you took care of them."

The records of planting late rice this time are very detailed. Except for me, no one in this village knows it as well as you."

Lin Dong nodded like garlic and gave Jiang Wen a look of commendation, "Cousin, you can follow us. Mom will cultivate the seedlings until they are transplanted and the harvest will be harvested. You know better than us. Besides, you are a scholar and can't speak.

You are magnanimous in everything you do, and when you talk to the county boss, he understands you!"

"That's right!" Lin Nan also hurriedly agreed.

The two brothers looked at each other and saw clearly the little things about each other. Although the two of them had met a lot of people in their business during this period, they still got flustered when facing their parents and officials, their legs were weak, their hands were sweating, and they couldn't speak well.

Stuttering, let alone anything else.

Jiang Wen looked at his little aunt gratefully. He had always known that his little aunt was good to him and taught him how to record late rice. He said it in detail and seriously. He was even sure that his little aunt might have made up his mind to let him take care of this from the beginning.

He didn't get a dime of credit from him originally.

It turned out that my little aunt had been thinking about him from the beginning.

"Little aunt, I will study hard! I will definitely live up to your expectations!" Having said so many words of gratitude, Jiang Wen now knows that all he can do is to find his way out and do what he has to do well.

Only by reaching that height can we truly repay my little aunt.

Jiang Yan looked pleased and warned: "This is a great opportunity for you. Although I don't know what happened to you in the academy, but during this period, I watched you get up at dawn to read in the morning, and read again in the evening.

You have to stay up late at night to read, and you have to be busy with housework during the day. You are a sensible child."

Jiang Yan glanced at Qiao Le and said, "I heard from Mr. Qiao that if you want to take the self-study exam, you need someone to vouch for it, and there are more than one person. Mr. Qiao has some special circumstances and cannot be your guarantor. I don't understand the reason.

, when you meet the county magistrate, it depends on your own ability. If the county magistrate is not willing to help you, there is nothing I can do."

"I understand, little aunt." Jiang Wen nodded solemnly, his clear eyes gleaming with a hint of water.

He went to town several times during this period, with the purpose of asking classmates to help vouch for it. Children and students can actually vouch for each other, but it only requires five people to jointly sign. He found several classmates, but only two agreed.

In addition to this method, he needs to find a scholar to vouch for it, but it must be two or more to count, and he can count the scholars he knows in Linfang County on one hand, and most of them teach in the academy. He is now at odds with the academy

, how could they guarantee him.
