Chapter 52 You Should Stay in Tianhu Village

The rain continued for several days, Li Wei's family stayed in Tianhuzhai, and the water level of the Tuojiang River was getting higher and higher.

Li Wei looks at the opposite Tongchuan Wharf every day, and finds that there are very few people, just like an abandoned wharf.

After this period of treatment, Mrs. Bai's illness has improved greatly, and she can even sleep through the night. She is more affectionate to Li Wei, and her name for Li Wei has also changed.

"Sister, why don't you leave, our old sister can still be a companion in this village."

Li Wei thumped, she wouldn't force herself to stay here.

"Old sister, this cottage does not support idlers. My family can't stay here, so I have to go back to Ji'an County as soon as possible."

"Doctor Gu is going back to Ji'an?"

When Li Wei turned her head, Bai Zifeng was standing at the door.

"Yes, we originally planned to transfer from Tongchuan to Ji'an. Shima Town was hit by a disaster. We have to go to the county to find the county magistrate. With the support of the court, it will be easier to rebuild the village."

After hearing this, Bai Zifeng was silent for a moment before speaking.

"If Dr. Gu wants the court to help you rebuild, then Bai advises you to give up."

After finishing speaking, Bai Zifeng explained again.

"Under this situation, the local government is already overwhelmed. It has no extra experience, no extra money, and no extra talent to organize reconstruction."

Li Wei knew that Bai Zifeng's words were not just talking nonsense. After all, he had stayed in the county government and must have a deeper understanding of the functional departments of the Daqing court than himself. But even if the court didn't care, they had to go back, otherwise they would become refugees and wander around.

"Doctor Gu is kind to my mother, so Bai said one more thing, not only Ji'an, Tongchuan, but other places in Daqing are not safe at present except Changlucheng."

"So, to escape, the only way is to go to Evergreen City."

Li Wei of Evergreen City knew about it, but Daqing was so big, how could it be possible that only Evergreen was safe?
"What does the third master mean by this?"

"Doctor Gu is not very curious why Bai gave up his job in the Yamen and joined Tianhu Village to become a bandit?"

Li Wei felt like she was dying. Even though she kept asking, it seemed that it was written all over her face. The person involved pointed it out to her face without saying anything.

Bai Zifeng didn't see the entanglement in Li Wei's heart, so he continued.

"To be honest, a year ago, I didn't think I would become a bandit."

"Then why did the third master do this?"

"Because I found out that maybe this is a safe place."

"I don't know?"

Li Wei felt that the more she listened, the more confused she became.

"A month ago, the magistrate of Tongchuan County went to Evergreen City with his family."

"He transferred?"

In Li Wei's thinking, the magistrate of a county took his family and his mouth away from the place of employment. In Li Wei's thinking, it was not exile but a transfer.

Bai Zifeng shook his head and continued.

"A year ago, the former Celestial Master Qin Tianjian predicted that there would be a catastrophe in Daqing, and many people would lose their lives. The only pure land is Evergreen City."

"Then the imperial court decided to temporarily move the capital to Evergreen City."

Li Wei found it unbelievable that the emperor decided to move the capital with just a word from Qin Tianjian?
"It's not counting moving the capital, it's just a temporary shelter for a few years, and I'll come back once the disaster is over."

"Then what if Qin Tianjian made a mistake in his calculations? Who is to blame for the loss?"

"Who is to blame for the loss? First of all, it must be clear who will have the loss?"

"From the royal family to the princes and nobles, they will not be the ones who suffer, at least not the ones who suffer the most."

"That's not necessarily true. They toss about, completely disregarding the lower-level Bai family members, and seem to protect their own interests, but they really hurt the hearts of the common people. They are nothing."

After all, Li Wei is a child who grew up under the red banner, so she firmly believes in the concept that the government should serve the people, and believes that the people at the bottom are not ignorant, they have their own survival wisdom, once the people's last living space If they are all squeezed, the unlucky ones must be those ruling classes who think they are superior to others.

"You are too naive. They will push all this to natural disasters and man-made disasters, which has nothing to do with them."

"They even said that they had tried their best in this natural disaster."

"Although the common people have the wisdom to survive, they don't know the truth of the matter."

Li Wei was silent. This is not modern times. Not only is information blocked and information is monopolized, but even culture is monopolized. This is the main reason why the ruling class is superior under the imperial power. correct judgment.

Therefore, here, it is quite easy to forge a truth.

"Half a year ago, the Spring City earthquake caused 10 deaths. Three months ago, a plague broke out in Linjiang City, and 10 people died as well."

"These are natural disasters, who can be blamed?"

Li Wei was taken aback. She didn't expect that there would be so many natural disasters in Daqing this year, but the villagers in Dahe Village didn't seem to know it at all. Until the snow disaster came, they were still living their lives leisurely.

This is the reason why information is underdeveloped. In modern times, whether it is a plague or an earthquake, people on the entire earth will know it as soon as it appears.

"The continuous occurrence of natural disasters made the imperial court believe that the calculations made by the original celestial master were not wrong, and further strengthened their determination to temporarily transfer the capital to Evergreen City. Princes and nobles also moved to Evergreen City."

"In that case, why didn't the common people be notified and all moved to Evergreen City?"

"Evergreen City has a limited area, limited land and food, how can it accommodate such a large population?"

"In this case, who will be abandoned?"

Li Wei was silent. It wasn't these bastards who were abandoned, so what could it be?
"Currently Evergreen City has strictly controlled the population entry. Not to mention we can't enter, even people with the status of Tongchuan County Magistrate are only allowed to take away the sons and daughters of the concubine, and all the sons and daughters of the concubine are left behind."

"The magistrate is gone, will there be a new magistrate?"

After Li Wei asked, he realized that Bai Zifeng was looking at him like a fool.

"Well, I definitely won't send anyone here. The fact that your immediate boss is gone doesn't just mean that your opportunity has come. You can stay in Tongchuan and thrive. Why did you come to Tianhu Village?"

"Because I think what Qin Tianjian said is true. Since natural disasters cannot be avoided, I will find the safest place to maximize the safety of me and my mother."

"However, Tianhu Village is a place where I feel safe."

Li Wei finally understood why Bai Zifeng came to Tianhuzhai today. It is one thing to understand, but another to accept it. It always feels unbelievable and like a joke.

"You are a scholar, don't you think it's ridiculous?"

"I used to think it was ridiculous, but I don't think so anymore. Doesn't the sudden snow disaster in Ji'an explain the problem?"

Li Wei was silent, she had personally experienced a snowstorm, it was indeed very strange.

"The current Tongchuan County is a mess, and you can go in and out if you want, but I don't think going to Tongchuan can help your family."

"I believe Ji'an County is the same."

Li Wei thought, it has already become anarchy, what can I do if I go by myself?

But she didn't think Bai Zifeng was such a enthusiastic person who told him so much?
"Why did the third master tell me this?"

"Doctor Gu is a smart person, he should know Bai's purpose."

"You want me to stay here?"

Bai Zifeng nodded: "Your medical skills are what the village needs."

Li Wei refused without even thinking about it.

"Being a bandit is not in my plan."

Bai Zifeng smiled slightly after hearing this.

"Doctor Gu thinks Bai will be a bandit here for the rest of his life?"

"Why not?"

"Doctor Gu should look at the problem in a different way. Why are they bandits? That's because there are soldiers."

"Now that you don't even care about the soldiers, are the bandits still bandits?"

"And at times like this, what we want to think about is how to survive."

"Doctor Gu, you took your family and braved the wind and snow on the road, didn't you just want to survive?"

"And what I'm telling you now is to survive, and even, this may be the only way to survive."

　It's the new year, let's start the new year
