Chapter 10: Persuasion

Su Yin looked at the days and saw that they were the same as in the previous life. This made Su Yin feel a little relieved about what he was worried about.

She is really afraid of the butterfly effect.

“Let’s go down the mountain.”

After tying the mules in the hole, the two of them returned to the village one after another. As soon as they entered the village, they felt a different atmosphere in the village.

“Do you think what the third son of the Li family said is true or false?”

“Who knows! It’s very peaceful outside. There’s no chaos anywhere. In my opinion, Li Rui is making too much of a fuss.”

“What if it’s true?”

What if? Are you ready to abandon your family and leave?”

Many people were speechless when they said this.

It’s hard to leave your homeland, and if you leave it, you’ll be like a fallen leaf without roots.

In front of Li Zheng’s house, there was a crowd of people, including the Su family.

Su Yin pushed forward hard. When the adults saw it was her, they all let her go.

When Su’s father saw his daughter, he was about to reach out and pull her over, but he missed her. Just when he was about to open his mouth to shout, he was stopped by Su’s mother, who looked unhappy.

There were many people standing in the courtyard of Li Zheng’s house, including several elders of the Li family.

Li Rui said to everyone with an anxious look on his face: “Uncle Li Zheng, we really need to leave quickly. It’s really chaotic outside. If we don’t leave, if we meet the refugees, it will be over.”

A clan elder asked: “Little Li San, did you see it with your own eyes, or did you hear someone tell you?”

“I haven’t seen it, but I have a friend who is also a salesman. He is from Yuzhou. He told me about this matter, and he has brought it with him My family left to escape to Nanzhou. I hurried back just to tell everyone to leave here and escape to Nanzhou.

“Uncle Li Zheng, it’s too late if you don’t leave.”

“I will move my family early tomorrow morning. No matter how much I, Li Rui, fool around, I will not dare to entertain everyone with this kind of thing. Listen to me and leave as soon as possible.”

Yunzhou, Minzhou, and Ganzhou are located in the three states of China. To the northwest of the Yong Dynasty, Yuzhou was separated from Meizhou.

People in Yuzhou naturally know the situation in the three places in Yunzhou better than people in Meizhou.

In Su Yin’s view, this already explained the problem.

In her previous life, Su Yin was unable to join in the fun and was ordered to cut pigweed by Old Mrs. Su. She didn’t find out about this until she came back in the evening and listened to family discussions.

When I heard what Li Rui said today, he made it very clear, but even so, many people in the previous life were unwilling to leave Lijia village and Meizhou.

Su Yin looked at the villagers present, and couldn’t help but think of the scene of the village being massacred in his previous life. Most of the people here died at the hands of the refugees.

She didn’t want the rest of the Su family to have an easy time, but the people in the village were kind to her, and whether they could save some or not depends on their fate.

Su Yin limped out and walked to Li Rui.

Her sudden appearance caused everyone present to look at her.

When Uncle Su saw his niece walking over carelessly, he immediately yelled, “Su Yin, my lord is discussing something, please get back quickly.”

When Mother Su saw her daughter walking out, her heart tightened and she squeezed her hands unconsciously.

Su Baozhu in the crowd hesitated to speak, and finally gritted his teeth without making a sound to stop him.

“Uncle Li Zheng, I have something to say.”

“You little girl, stop making trouble.” Someone shouted.

Li Zheng was troubled and didn’t know what to do. Now someone wanted to talk about it, which would give him some time to consider Li Rui’s words.

“What do you want to say?” Li Zheng said cheerfully.

“Uncle Li Zheng, I don’t think Brother Li Rui is being alarmist. I heard something from my uncle and I want to tell you about it.”

Su Yin did not directly make a conclusion on the matter, but spoke in a guiding manner.

“Has anyone been to the town recently?”

Someone in the crowd shouted, “Yes, what’s wrong?”

Su Yin looked at the person, “Uncle Li, have you noticed the price of food?”

Speaking of this Li uncle immediately replied: “Of course. The price of food keeps rising and has more than tripled. I heard people say that the price of food will continue to rise. These unscrupulous merchants will raise prices at the first sight.”

When it comes to food prices, no one knows People don’t complain a word.

“Uncle Li, have you noticed that there are many more beggars in the town?” Su Yin continued to ask.

“I-I didn’t notice this.”

Just as he finished replying, someone spoke again, “I noticed that there have been a lot more beggars in the town recently, and they even speak with foreign accents.”

“Is there any problem with this?” Someone said Couldn’t help but speak.

“Yes, what’s the problem?”

“There have been severe droughts from time to time in the past few years, and the price of food has been high. Especially in the Yunzhou area, it is worse than here. The harvest is not good, and the price of food is rising. I haven’t seen it before.”

“It’s common for the harvest to be bad in previous years. There’s nothing strange about it.”

“That’s not what I’m talking about. There are a lot of beggars. Maybe those beggars are from Yunzhou. I brought it here.”

“If that’s the case, what Li Rui said is not unreasonable, and we may be in trouble here.”

The villagers were talking about it.

Some things cannot be said by you alone, but also by their own thinking and thinking, so that they can intuitively feel the crisis.

Li Zheng’s eyes were thoughtful, and he looked at Su Yin, “What did your uncle say?”

“My uncle met a businessman from Yuzhou near the post station. The man said that there was chaos in Yunzhou and that refugees were going to Yuzhou. He had left with his family in advance.

“My uncle didn’t believe it. After entering the county, he found that the price of food had risen too high and too fast. There were many more beggars from other places than last year. Thinking of what the merchant said, I am afraid that Meizhou will be impacted by the refugees. Put the facts in front of everyone with good evidence. As for whether they believe it or not, it depends on them.”

The expression inside is solemn.

“No way.”

“Are we really going to leave?”

“Our ancestors have lived here for generations. If we leave, the fields we worked so hard to buy will be gone.”

“Yes, then there will be nothing.”

Panic filled everyone’s hearts.

Just then, a sound came from behind the crowd.

“That’s nonsense!”

Everyone got out of the way when they saw Su Xiaoyong.

Su Xiaoyong was a child student and had a certain prestige in the village.

In the eyes of peasants, those who can gain fame are powerful people and know more than others.

“Oh, Xiaoyong, you’re back.”

“Brother Xiaoyong, you know better than us. Tell me, is this true?”

“Are we really going to leave?”

It’s not that easy to throw away the little family property their ancestors managed to earn.

Su Xiaoyong walked into the courtyard surrounded by villagers. He glanced at Su Yin with disgust, then glanced at Li Rui, and finally fell on Li Zheng and several clan elders, and bowed to them.
