But no matter what they thought, they couldn't resist the imperial decree, so they could only obey the command.

Shopkeeper Liu then went back to the village with them.

The county magistrate of Kong sent Zhang Butou to lead the yamen servants back to the village with them, took away a group of refugees tied up in the village, and took them directly to the cell.

The shopkeeper Liu found the house directly. The husband and wife who were about to go up the mountain to collect medicine were stunned for a moment. Gu Chengrui immediately put down the basket and said, "Uncle Liu is here, please sit in the room."

Seeing this, Zhou Ying said hello and went to the kitchen to boil water.

"Are you going up the mountain?" Shopkeeper Liu asked while following Gu Chengrui into the house.

"Yeah, I don't have anything to do at home, so I went up the mountain to try my luck and see if I can get herbs?

By the way, how many acres of land were planted with those seeds? "

"It's about 100 mu. The County Magistrate Kong said just now that I have to thank you very much this time. It can be regarded as a solution to his serious problem." Shopkeeper Liu sat down after finishing speaking.

Gu Chengrui looked at him with an unrelenting expression and said, "It's not because of the refugees, it's just another heartache."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded, and told him about the conscription in a low voice: "So the refugee matter is minor, and this is the big one."

Gu Chengrui nodded clearly.

Nowadays, people are struggling with life and death. At this time, conscription will undoubtedly make things worse. One mistake will lead to riots, which is indeed a headache.

Then he asked, "You won't leave when you come back this time."

"I'm not leaving, I have to guard Zhuangzi." Shopkeeper Liu nodded.

The county that grows the most crops is Qingshui Town, especially Shanghe Village and Xiahe Village. He must ensure the safety of these two villages.

"That's great, we can feel more at ease with you in charge."

Shopkeeper Liu smiled after hearing this and did not refute or agree.

In fact, this is also a matter of mutual benefit. After all, the rations his people are eating now come from Zhuangzi, so there is nothing polite about it.

Soon Zhou Ying made a pot of mint tea for them and said, "Uncle Liu, let's eat here at noon. Brother Zhou just happened to bring some salted fish when he came here last time, and there is a piece of beef at home. Let's have a good lunch." pause."

"Okay, then I won't be polite." Shopkeeper Liu nodded.

"Okay, you guys chat, it will be fine in a while." After Zhou Ying finished speaking, she turned and went back to the kitchen.

While steaming the salted fish, the butter was boiled out.

Then fried a portion of minced garlic rapeseed with base oil.

After that, I cut a piece of sirloin and made a black pepper beef tenderloin.

Finally, I mixed a portion of sweet potato.

The staple food is naturally steamed sweet potatoes.

Shopkeeper Liu got up after eating a meal satisfied, and said, "Then you should be busy, I have to go to Zhuangzi."

"Okay, I'll leave everything to you in the village." Gu Chengrui got up and said.

After the two sent him away, they went up the mountain.

After shopkeeper Liu returned to Zhuangzi, he saw that Zhuangzi had put up all his strength to defend himself, so he went straight to find Sun Hongliang.

After learning that Gu Chengrui had already given the order, he nodded and said: "This matter really needs to be taken seriously, you should discuss it with Li Si and the others, schedule a shift, try to work four shifts a day, and ensure sufficient physical strength just in case .”

"Uncle, I understand, but everyone is here, should we put up the tent again, or the room will be too crowded."

"That's right, I'm not afraid of the cold now, so let's set it up." Shopkeeper Liu asked at this point: "By the way, did General Zhou explain anything when he came here?"

"No, just let us protect Zhuangzi and check our martial arts." When Sun Hongliang said this, he got up and looked inside and out, and whispered a few words in his ear after making sure that no one was there.
