In the year of disaster in the book, the villain girl is the real winner

For several days in a row, He Huaizhang went to the place where Yan Shi camped at the entrance of the village to look for him, but every time he failed.

He Huaizhang had no choice but to go to Old Lady He and cry to him, saying that he wanted to meet Yan Shi and pay him a proper visit. He no longer wanted to use He Qiudi's connections, so he just wanted to perform well in front of Yan Shi and begged Old Lady He to help him.

Old Mrs. He saw He Huaizhang and Wei doing self-examination, repenting, reflecting and reviewing themselves in Shiliu Village morning and evening these days.

He finally softened his heart towards He Huaizhang and hinted to He Qiudi to introduce He Huaizhang to Yan Shi.

As for whether He Huaizhang could catch Yan Shi's eye, she would not force He Qiudi to say anything good to He Huaizhang.

He Qiudi knew that He Huaizhang was the beloved daughter of Old Lady He.

She and He Huaizhang are still brother and sister. If she keeps refusing, it will arouse Mrs. He's disgust. So she agreed to take He Huaizhang to find Yan Shi.

When they arrived at the camp, Yanshi's people still said that Yanshi was still in Phoenix Mountain and had not come down. If Yanshi returned to the village, they would help pass the message.

He Huaizhang thought that with He Qiudi's introduction, he could successfully establish a personal relationship with Yan Shi in Shiliu Village, but in the end he still never met Yan Shi.

Because on the next day, Yan Shi's people came to deliver the message, saying that Yan Shi had returned to the city with several personal guards.

He also left a letter for He Qiudi, saying that he would be patrolling the three counties of Wei County, Lan County, and Liu County next. If there was anything, he could go to the county government to ask his people for help. He would return to Ningyuan County after finishing the patrol.

Since Yan Shi had already left Shiliu Village, He Huaizhang had nothing to say.

It’s not that Yan Shi didn’t want to see him, but the bandit suppression work in Fenghuang Mountain and the defense work outside Ningyuan County were heavy, so Yan Shi had no time to take care of him.

But this made him even more curious about Yan Shi's identity.

As far as he knew, not even Magistrate Du had the authority to patrol Wei, Lan, and Liu counties.

Could it be that Yan Shi came to Lizhou to serve as the prefect?

Being the lieutenant and magistrate of Ningyuan County was just a training for him.

If that's true, then he'd better hold on to Yan Shi's thigh tightly.

I just don’t know if He Qiudi knows Yan Shi’s true identity.

He was only fourteen years old, and he was being trained as a prefect. The family power at the banquet might be more powerful than he imagined.

The fifth rank is the prefect, the seventh rank is the county magistrate, the eighth rank is the county magistrate, the ninth rank is the county lieutenant, and the lowest rank is the instructor and historian.

There is really a huge difference between the two.

He Qiudi was too lazy to care about He Huaizhang's little thoughts.

If it weren't for the support of He Huaijin and He Huaibi, He Huaizhang could only donate the money provided by Old Lady He and Wei to become a small county magistrate, and his life would have been over.

Apart from the fact that he was lucky and passed the imperial examination, he was a coward in everything else.

Her thoughts had already flown to her sister's home in Lan County.

It has been almost a month since she came to the Otherworld. She has never traveled before. She must go to Lan County to have a look. Even if it is just to see a new city, it would be nice.

The geographical location of Lan County is different from that of Ningyuan County.

Ningyuan was built on a mountain in a valley.

There are mountains on both ends, with a small river running through it. There are walls built in front and behind the valley, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack.

Ningyuan County was under siege. If it could be held, the people in the city could go into the mountains to find food. If the city was not breached during good weather, it could hold out for three to five years.

Lan County is surrounded by plains and small hills, with city walls on all sides. There are not many water sources and arable land in the city. If Lan County is besieged in a disaster year, there will be countless casualties due to lack of water within a month.

Even when there is an abundant supply of clean water, we will run out of ammunition and food after being besieged for three to five months.

and so.

After Lan County was besieged by the Western Rong people, the people in the city lost their composure and fled before the fighting even began, so the Western Rong people were able to break into the city without much effort.

When he decided to go on patrol during the banquet, he had thought about this carefully.

He Qiudi said that he would go to visit his relatives in Lan County after the spring harvest. He thought that next year would be the last year of the fifteen-year non-war clause signed by the Great Zhou and the Western Rong.

He was worried about the defense of Lan County, so he decided to check the terrain around Lan County himself, and then formulate a more detailed defense plan, and then write to his father to send more troops to be stationed in Lan County.

Since Old Mrs. He decided to go to Lan County to visit He Baozhu, the family affairs have been settled.

The bag of corn that he "asked" for from the banquet was all planted in the 15 acres of dry land that he bought from Old Lady Li.

The sweet potatoes that He Qiudi "bought" from the city have also been successfully grown into seedlings, and he has used the cutting method to plant sweet potatoes on three acres of dry land.

Old Mrs. Li regretted selling her land to the He family at a low price, but there was nothing she could do.

The He family had Lord Yan's support, so she was afraid of seeing the officials and dared not make any more trouble. She packed all the luggage at home and took her whole family to join her brother.

Originally, Old Mrs. Li wanted to sell the Li family house for cash, but when she saw that there was still water in the old well, she suddenly had an idea and decided not to sell it. She left the old house abandoned there and moved away from Shiliu Village with her family.

When the Li family left, He Qiudi felt a little sad.

If their family stayed, at least they could have enough food and clothing with everyone else in Shiliu Village.

Never mind her.

Anyway, no one in the Li family is good, so let them go. She didn't need to feel sorry for the impending rough fate of the Li family.

Born in this era, her abilities are limited and the help she can provide is also limited.

We need to help, and we need to help those who are law-abiding and trying to survive in this chaotic world.

After the Li family's donkey cart disappeared at the end of the road at the entrance of the village, He Qiudi had finished draining water from the old well. She went back to help Old Lady He pack her luggage and organize the supplies in her port space.

Ever since she sent the crossbow and crossbow arrows to Yan Shi, the supplies she and Little Chunmao asked for were all basic medicines for colds and fevers, Chinese patent medicines, ointments, Western medicine pills, liquid medicines, all kinds of medicines.

The most important thing for a person's survival, besides food, clothing, housing and transportation, is good health. Storing various medicines for treating diseases is also an important matter.

As for money?

The gold, silver ingots and pearls she asked for from the little stupid cat were enough to last for a long time.

Then come back next month to ask for gold, silver, jade and jewelry.

Now that the busy spring season is over, the He family has stored up a lot of food in the courtyards of Shiliu Village and the county, enough to feed the whole family for a year or so. So far, the big event at home has been accomplished.

The remaining work at home was relatively fragmentary and could be done by anyone. Old Mrs. He wanted to see her eldest daughter, so she packed up and decided to go to Lan County. But who to take to visit relatives in Lan County became a big deal for the He family.

He Huaian is going to the city to take over the grocery store affairs.

After He Huaijin and He Huaibi returned to the city after their farm leave, Dalang was sent to a school in the city by He Huaian and was not allowed to visit relatives in Lan County.

Dalang is almost eleven years old. He has received enlightenment and studied in the city for a year. If he is sent to the school in the city, he will be able to keep up with the progress.

The money for Dalang to go to school was finally paid from the He family's public funds.

Sanlang was also sent to the old student in the village to receive the most basic education, and was not allowed to visit relatives in Lan County.

Xu's parents' home is in the county seat of Lan County, and she wants to go to Lan County to visit her relatives.

Xu's maiden home was in Lan County.

Mrs. He agreed to her request because she was pregnant.

Old Mrs. He thought that she and He Qiudi needed someone to take care of them along the way, and she couldn't ask a pregnant woman to do the work, so she called He Qingya to come along.

In this way, there were four women going to visit relatives. Fearing that it would be unsafe on the road, Mr. He arranged for He Huaiping to go to Lan County with them.

Anyway, I'll be back after staying for a few days.

When He Qinglu saw that her parents and sister were going to Lan County to visit her aunt and grandmother's family, she insisted on going with them.

He Qiudi's skill in accommodating He Qinglu's every request was much higher than that of her other five nephews and nieces, so she waved her hand and decided to take He Qinglu to Lan County with her.
