Chapter 125 How about you try
"Where is Nanyang?" asked Aunt Zhang.
"Very far away, by the sea."
"so far away?"
Aunt Zhang and her family looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never left Gaochuan County in their lives, and now they were suddenly asked to go to such a faraway place. The whole family was a little overwhelmed.
But they believed that Jiang Sining would definitely not cheat them.
"Are we going as a family?"
"Of course not," Jiang Sining said, "I will gather thousands of villagers to join you, but you are responsible for leading them."
Hearing that there were so many people, Aunt Zhang and her family felt a little relieved and asked, "What are we going to do?"
"Farming and fishing."
When they heard that they could farm, Aunt Zhang's family immediately became interested.
“How much land can we plant?”
"That's a deserted place, and there's no government to manage it. You can take care of yourself and plant as much as you want." Jiang Sining said, "And you don't need to bring anything. I'll take care of everything. You just need to travel light. After the grain is harvested, you don't need to pay taxes. Just sell it all to me."
With such a good thing happening, Aunt Zhang's family agreed immediately without thinking too much.
Jiang Sining asked the people working in the village to spread the news, and those who wanted to go to Nanyang could come to Liuyun Village to find her. As a result, at noon the next day, two to three thousand people came in a mighty force.
These are the families whose food supplies were all destroyed this year, and their only remaining grain was taken away by the government. They had originally planned to leave their homes.
Now that they have heard that there is such a great place, they have rushed here with their families.
Jiang Sining asked Si Chenan to record the information of these people one by one. Although they were going to an uninhabited area to open up wasteland, someone was still needed to manage it.
The main managers are Aunt Zhang's family. In addition, Xia Shan will also arrange some subordinates to work with them to maintain order.
As for what this group of people will become in the future, and whether anyone will have second thoughts, Jiang Sining is not worried at all.
Because this is only the first batch. After the situation stabilizes in the future, she plans to send more people there. In the future, she will even go to Australia. It is possible to establish a new country there.
By then, they will naturally bring a large number of talents and even form an army.
Besides, if she didn't have her space, it would be difficult to sell the food grown by these people, and a lot of supplies would need to be supplied by her, so there was no need to worry about everyone disobeying her.
On that very day, these nearly two hundred households, led by Dong Ling, set out from Liuyun Village and walked along the official road to the southwest. When they reached the border, Xia Shan would naturally go to greet them and take them to that new world.
Without Aunt Zhang's loud voice, Liuyun Village seemed to have become a little deserted. Aunt Li and the others were also quietly waiting for news. If Aunt Zhang and the others lived well there, they would all plan to move there together.
Jiang Sining has no intention of moving out for the time being because she feels it is not the right time.
There seem to be a lot of supplies in the warehouse now, but if you want to engage in industry, it is still far from enough.
So wait a little longer.
Let’s wait and see how the situation is after the New Year.
The weather suddenly turned cold.
It's not even the beginning of winter yet, but the temperature has already dropped below zero. Thin ice has formed in some places, and heavy snow has already begun to fall in places slightly to the north.
This stunned everyone in Daxia, because in all recorded history, it had never snowed so early, and the weather had never been so cold.
At first everyone thought it was just temporary, but the heavy snow continued to fall day after day as if it was free, with no sign of stopping.
Less than half a month later, heavy snow fell in Gaochuan County, and the local people were immediately miserable.
Because it had never been so cold before, every household did not have much warm clothes, and many families did not have enough food to eat, so a new wave of refugees broke out in an instant.
But where else can we go?
The whole Daxia is now covered in white.
The further north you go, the deeper the snow becomes, reaching knee-deep in most places, and there are displaced refugees everywhere.
In the vicinity of Liuyun Village, many people had income because they were able to help Jiang Sining's family with work. Jiang Sining also sold his cotton stock to everyone at a fair price, and even encouraged everyone to build brick houses and repair kangs, so they lived a relatively happy life.
This also made Jiang Sining's reputation reach its peak overnight.
More and more villagers from the surrounding areas came to Liuyun Village, hoping that she could give them a way to survive. It didn't take long before at least 30,000 to 40,000 refugees gathered outside Liuyun Village.
Looking at these ragged people shivering in the snow, Si Chenan's heart sank to the bottom.
He never imagined that Daxia would turn into a hell on earth because of a rainstorm and several heavy snowfalls.
He really wanted Jiang Sining to take out some food to help these miserable refugees, but he also knew that even if Jiang Sining stored more food, he could only save the people in front of him, but what about the people in other places?
If the imperial court does not provide disaster relief, at least half of Daxia’s people will freeze to death or starve to death this cold winter!
But up to now, there has been no sound from the court.
The local county government office had its doors tightly closed, and even the bailiffs did not go out, acting as if it had nothing to do with the matter.
How can one not feel despair with such a court and government?
"Madam," Si Chenan thought of this and felt heavy-hearted. He found Jiang Sining and asked, "I know it's a bit unreasonable, but I think we can't just sit there and do nothing. We should find a way to help the people. If we can, we can help as many people as possible."
Jiang Sining also wanted to help.
When she was bored, she even thought, how great it would be if the entire Daxia could be like China in her previous life.
But the ideal is full, the reality is very skinny.
The current situation in the world of this book cannot be controlled by her alone.
For the sake of the plot, the author doesn't care about the lives of the people of Da Xia at all, and has forcibly added too many natural and man-made disasters to the world, and now it's just the beginning.
But what Si Chenan said also makes sense.
As the saying goes, if you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world.
Although she is not very powerful now, she is no longer the pauper she was when she first came to this world.
But the question is how to help?
Transfer all the people of Daxia to Southeast Asia, or head west to the Western Regions and Europe?
Obviously unrealistic.
So after thinking about it, it seems that the only way is to rebel.
He led an army and set out from Liuyun Village. Wherever he went, he fought against local tyrants, landlords, and government offices, and took out grain to help the people.
But she is just a girl, at best a doctor of medicine, and she really can't do such a thing.
"Do you have any good ideas to save the people of this world?" she asked.
"Me?" Si Chenan concentrated for a moment and said, "The only way I can think of is... to rebel."
The corner of Jiang Sining's mouth twitched. She knew that this guy was still determined to rebel!
But thinking back, Si Chenan's psychology now should not be as dark as in the original book, and the reason for his rebellion has changed from avenging his father to saving the people of the world.
In addition, she can provide a large amount of food, so the rebels don't have to rob the people.
Si Chenan would not become a murderous devil because of his dark heart. The rebel army also transformed into a righteous army.
In the original novel, he was able to fight all the way to the capital city despite his sick body and have the final battle with the heroine. His military talent is unquestionable.
The most important point is that this is the world in the book, so no matter how she struggles, it will not change the historical direction of China.
Everything seems to be perfect.
"How about you try?"
