I have to say that these sweet potato porridge and mashed potatoes are really good things to nourish people.

Liu He ate a large bowl of mashed potatoes and two large bowls of sweet potato porridge, and burped in satisfaction.

The weather became colder and colder. Drinking a bowl of hot porridge made me sweat all over. It was so refreshing.

"I said, A Niu, how old are you this year?"

A Niu was obviously stunned. After a long time, he said, "I will be twenty after this winter. You forgot that I was born in the first month of the year."

Liu He nodded and sighed: "Yes, you kid is about twenty. This time passes so quickly. In the blink of an eye, you kid is out of age."

A Niu swallowed and said, "Brother Liu, why are you talking about these things?"

"It's nothing but a few words to you."

Liu He's eyes were a little red: "All the people in our village are almost dead. There are only a handful of people who can survive. I look at you just like my nephew."

It turned out that Liu He's nephew starved to death while fleeing famine.

Liu He watched his nephew starve to death but was powerless.

That kind of pain is absolutely indescribable to words.

It happened that Aniu and his nephew were about the same age and were from the same village. Naturally, they looked at him with a little doting.

"Brother Liu..."

Aniu was a little choked and his eyes were red.

"Don't say it anymore. Don't worry, I will definitely be as filial to you as your nephew."

He paused and said, "By the way, Brother Liu, do you still want to eat sweet potato porridge? I'll serve you another bowl!"

However, Liu He was amused by him, and patted his head and said, "What are you drinking? I'm not a foodie."

A Niu's face turned red by Liu He's doting behavior and he immediately stopped talking.

"You are twenty years old, and it's time to find a wife. Tell me what you want to find? Let me tell you. Rich people dare not rush to the top, but I still have some face in the midst of suffering."

Since he has regarded A Niu as his nephew, Liu He will naturally take his lifelong affairs to heart.

"What, Brother Liu, don't talk nonsense. Is there any girl who is willing to marry me now? Let's talk about it when I have done something."

A Niu said quickly.

"Good boy, Lao Liu, I believe in you."

"Okay, don't just surround me. Go out and see if there is any work. Since we plan to get to the top of Qingzhou Prefecture, we can't be idle. We must find something to do."

Liu He looked at A Niu with kindness and taught him earnestly.

"Why."

A Niu couldn't think of anything except for his mouth full of mouth.

"I'll go out and find a job now."

After saying that, A Niu turned around and walked towards the door.

When he arrived at the door, he suddenly stopped and turned his head and said, "Brother Liu remember what I said before, beware that someone is staring at us in secret."

...

...

After leaving home, Aniu walked towards Qingzhou City.

He was not going to find work, but to inquire about information.

The people in the town are all victims who can’t find out anything. If you want to find out the news, you have to go to Qingzhou City.

Now the government does not restrict the victims from entering the city, as long as they do not inject large-scale influx.

Therefore, Aniu was able to enter Qingzhou City smoothly.

This was not the first time he entered Qingzhou City. In his opinion, the scene in the city was nothing special. It was nothing more than a hint of satisfaction on the faces of the people in the city.

A Niu didn't understand why they were like this.

Logically speaking, living in a chaotic world shouldn’t be miserable?

Is it because of sweet potatoes and potatoes that they feel that life has hope?

A Niu pressed these things and walked towards a teahouse on his own.

Teahouses, wineries, brothels.

This is the easiest place to find out the news. It is probably because there are all kinds of people here.

A Niu can't afford to go to the wine shop and brothel now, so he can only go to the teahouse.

Just spend a copper plate here and you can drink a full bowl of tea. Even if you sit here for an hour, no one will come to drive you away.

For people like A Niu, teahouses are the best choice for inquiries.

He walked into the teahouse without hesitation, found a seat near the roadside and sat down.

The waiter immediately came over and asked with a smile, "What do you want to drink? Our store has the best West Lake Longjing, and the Dahongpao, Tieguanyin..."

"Give me a big bowl of tea."

A Niu slapped a copper plate and interrupted the waiter's words.

The smile on the waiter's face was also interrupted.

But he didn't say much, but quietly retreated.

A Niu closed his eyes and waited quietly.

He is used to this method.

As long as he closes his eyes, his heart will be quiet. As long as his heart is quiet, he can find useful information.

Sure enough, the tea guests sitting next to him were talking big, and what they said naturally entered Aniu's ears.

"Have you heard that King Gui has been defeated and fled to Annan."

"Ah, King Gui fled to Annan? This news will not be fake, right?"

"Hehe, you are not unaware that my nephew's third uncle works in the yamen. His news is first-hand, and it is impossible to be fake!"

"This King Gui is too spineless. If you can't beat him, run away. It's fine if you run back to Guangxi. He actually ran to Annan. Annan can resist my Ming Dynasty King's Army? I'm afraid King Gui has a bag on his head."

"Look at what you said. King Gui is helpless. If you rebel, you will not be able to go all the way to the darkness? If you are really caught, you will not be able to get the slaughter."

“That’s true.”

A Niu keenly captured this message.

He was still shocked.

King Gui is indeed a coward, but he is too irresistible to fight, right?

Originally, A Niu thought that King Gui could be dragged to the court for a few months. This would allow the Qing court to grow potatoes and sweet potatoes and harvest time.

But now, Ming Jun saved all this time.

If the Ming army took advantage of this time to move north, the Qing army would probably not be able to withstand it?

A Niu couldn't help but worry about the Qing army.

No, you must convey this news to the Regent so that he can prepare early.

As soon as A Niu was about to get up, he heard the tea lovers at another table chatting.

"Have you heard that Li Dingguo and Ainengqi have surrendered. This is the remnant of the thieves in the West. Even if they surrender, the southwest will be completely settled."

"That's great. First there was the Yunnan rebellion, then Sichuan. Now the two places have stabilized the imperial court, so there is no need to devote too much energy to these two places."

"I heard that the court was planning a Northern Expedition."

"Oh? I'm about to start the fight?"

"Not it? The north of Sichuan is Hanzhong. In my opinion, to fight Guanzhong, you must first take Hanzhong. Originally, Hanzhong was the territory of the Western thieves. With Li Dingguo, it was much easier for Ainengqi's court to take Hanzhong."
