    ¡°In a family, the person who is most capable of working must eat and drink the most.

    Because they need enough nutrition to gain physical strength, so that they can go out to earn money and come back to support their families and support the young and old who are short of labor at home.

    Wu Yeshuang helped solve the problem of feeding the young and strong labor force of the victims, so the old, weak, women and children who stayed in the major camps for the victims would naturally be much more relaxed.

    Everyone can bring home two hundred cash every day. It stands to reason that even if they buy rice and noodles, they can still leave around one hundred cash. In a few months, they will have three to five taels of silver, which is a considerable savings.

    "But the people's careful calculation still exceeded Liu Mingqi's expectations.

    Because he saw that almost all the people were buying bran.

    Next to the shed with a government banner selling affordable grain for forty cents a liter, women only bought a small amount, at most one liter, and half a liter accounted for the majority.

    Obviously, Emperor Jinghe had no intention of letting the old, weak, women and children eat bran porridge, but they chose to eat bran porridge on their own initiative.

    ??According to a standard family of five people, excluding the four young and strong laborers, two liters of grain is enough to satisfy their hunger.  ¡ª¡ªI dare not say that I am full, I can only say that I will not be uncomfortable with hunger. If I can find more wild vegetables and fruits, I will be fuller.

    If the ratio is one to three, they spend 20 cents to buy half a liter of rice and 23 cents to buy one and a half liters of bran. The total is only 43 cents, which is cheaper than just buying one liter of rice or one liter of wheat flour.  half.

    ¡° Saving forty coins a day is equivalent to four taels of silver a hundred days, which is a huge amount of money.

    This calculation is very detailed, and it is also a kind of wisdom that the people at the bottom have no choice but to do.

    But such careful planning is very effective, at least it will allow them to survive the few months without food safely after they return.

    While thinking about it, Liu Mingqi saw an old woman in her fifties walking out of the crowd carrying a large bag of bran.

    Her health didn¡¯t look good. She would pant every few steps and stop to rest.

    Liu Mingqi pulled Chi San and rushed towards him, begging eagerly: "Grandma, do you want help carrying your things?"

    "No, no, no." The old woman quickly waved her hand.

    "We only need two cents. It doesn't matter even if you live five miles away!" Liu Mingqi's eyes turned red. "Grandma, we haven't eaten for two days Please, let us help  You carry the stuff!"

    The old woman looked at the dirty two people and sighed: "What can you eat with two pennies?"

    Liu Mingqi replied honestly: "We work for a day and earn more than ten cents, which is enough to buy a liter of bran In the small town walking into the city, the bran is cheaper, and then we will make the bran ourselves.  The pancakes are enough for two days!"

    "Where are your parents?"

    "They they starved to death when they fled, and my brother and I were the only ones left But we are all grown up and can take care of ourselves"

    Liu Mingqi wiped his eyes with his dirty sleeves as he spoke.

    Chi San looked on and was dumbfounded.

    My dear mother!

    ¡°If I hadn¡¯t known that this was His Royal Highness, the eldest son of my family, I could have regarded him as a real homeless child who was a victim of the disaster!

    It looks so similar, there is no flaw at all!

    Where did he know these things?

    "His Highness takes every little thing so seriously, my third son should also seriously learn from him!"

    The old woman obviously believed what Liu Mingqi said, with a look of intolerance on her face, "Oh, poor child Okay, you guys can help me carry this bag of bran. My home is less than a mile over there, no.  Far."

    "Hey! Thank you, grandma!"

    Liu Mingqi happily took the bran bag from her hand and carried it on her body, "Grandma, you will live a long life and be full of descendants!"

    The old woman smiled when she heard this, and slowly followed Liu Mingqi and Chi San, showing them the way.

    After crossing the outer perimeter, the thatched houses and simple tents inside are of different styles, but they are neatly arranged, with twenty rooms in a row and twenty rows in a square formation.

    The distance between rooms and rows is one foot and three point three meters, and the distance between each square array is five feet. There is also a specially isolated area in the middle for boiling water for cooking to prevent a fire from burning down directly.  A big piece.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­The cloth bag was handed to Liu Mingqi.

    "Child, grandma can't do anything for you, but here are a few bran pancakes that can satisfy your hunger. You can take them and eat them!" Grandma Geng said.

    Holding it in his hand, Liu Mingqi felt that it weighed at least half a catty.

    Although the money is not worth much, Grandma Geng has a very good heart to be so kind to the little beggar she met by chance.

    "Thank you, grandma, I will definitely repay you in the future!" Liu Mingqi hugged the little bag tightly, with tears in her eyes again.

    "Silly boyOh, we are all poor people. How can we talk about repaying things without repaying them?" Granny Geng smiled bitterly, "Just live well!"

    "Um!"

    Liu Mingqi turned around and wanted to leave.

    But unexpectedly, a woman in her thirties suddenly appeared from the corner. She was running with panic on her face. When she saw Granny Geng not far away, she opened her mouth and shouted: "Grandma Geng, your three children  , just now a group of people caught him in a carriage and ran away Go and have a look!"

    "ah!?"

    Granny Geng trembled all over and said in disbelief: "Zhang's wife, what are you talking about? Arresting people in broad daylight?"

    "right!"

    The Zhang family's daughter-in-law had already arrived in front of her, shouting: "Your daughter-in-law was not far away at the time, and she is chasing her desperately But after that group of people arrested someone, they circled around the crowded place in the camp.  Circle, by the time we all chased after him, no one could be seen.

    "But that's where the carriages gather. Many carriages are unloading and transporting things back and forth. It's impossible to tell which carriage they got on"

    Her accent was different from that in Beijing, and Liu Mingqi had a hard time hearing her clearly.

    But Granny Geng understood it instantly.

    Not just her, people from several households nearby came out and surrounded her.

    Granny Geng was unable to support herself at this time, and she suddenly softened and fell to the ground.

    With quick eyes and quick hands, Liu Mingqi hugged Granny Geng and then slowly placed her against the wall of the thatched house.

    "Sister Geng, are you okay?"

    "Grandma Geng"

    A group of neighbors crowded over, but pushed Liu Mingqi aside.

    Liu Mingqi happened to see the Zhang family¡¯s daughter-in-law standing outside and asked, ¡°Sister, is this the first time something like this has happened?¡±

    "Who are you? You call me sister? You're glib!" The Zhang family's wife didn't give him a good look. Instead, she looked wary.

    Liu Mingqi looked at her, pulled her aside, and put a small piece of broken silver into her hand before she shouted.

    "Huh? This" Zhang's daughter-in-law squeezed it with her hands, a look of joy appeared on her face, "Silver!"

    "right!"

    Liu Mingqi shook his hand, holding a larger piece of broken silver, "If you want to get it, answer my question just now."

    There was greed in the eyes of the Zhang family's daughter-in-law. She didn't care why this little beggar had so much money and said directly: "There seemed to be some before, but they were in camps far away. This is the first time for us here. You  I don¡¯t know how fast those people were. They grabbed three children and ran away. I also saw them sniffing something for the children, and then the three children couldn¡¯t scream. It was really scary!¡±

    Liu Mingqi threw out the broken silver in his hand, turned around and walked outside.

    Chi San hurriedly followed. He couldn't bear it when he saw Grandma Geng crying heartbrokenly after waking up not far away.

    "Your Highness, what are you going to do?" he asked.

    "I have my own opinion."

    The young man didn¡¯t say much to him. The two of them quickly returned to the inn, cleaned up in a hurry, and rode straight to the capital.

    I knew there was such a thing!

    Whenever there is a great disaster or famine, there are not a few people who sell their children or daughters, but there are still a group of people who are too lazy to buy and go straight to abducting and selling children.

    People like this are simply scum.

    The disaster area outside the capital is as wide as 20 miles, involving the residence of 300,000 people. It can be said to be a medium-to-large city.

    With such a large area, even if there are thousands of government officers patrolling to maintain order and tens of thousands of forbidden troops responsible for security, it is impossible to cover everything.

    This gives those evil people an opportunity to take advantage of.

    Liu Mingqi has already made up his mind. What he has to do now is to race against time, and he must be ahead of time to rescue the children safely and intact.

    After seeing those reports in modern society, he simply couldn¡¯t believe the bottom line of these scum.

    No matter whether Grandma Geng¡¯s child was abducted or sold today, as an upright person, Liu Mingqi has the obligation to save people and eradicate these scum!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)After the report, he couldn't believe the bottom line of these scum.
