"Mom, just let the third younger brother and sister go," Boss Lu said, "The third younger brother and sister are capable, and everyone knows this."
Boss Lu followed He Jiuniang to the rogue den, and asked He Jiuniang He was so impressed that he was so impressed. Now he just went to Jingzhou City to buy some things, which shouldn't be a problem.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun waited for him and scolded him viciously: "I am not your wife, don't you feel bad!"
Boss Lu was so embarrassed that he felt embarrassed for a while. Don't know what to say.
But who told Jingzhou not to accept young men? Otherwise, the three younger brothers and sisters would not be allowed to make such a trip.
"Okay, okay, mother, I know you feel sorry for me!"
He Jiuniang hugged Sun and shouted for a while: "This is only ten miles, I can still ride Go away, it won’t take long, don’t worry! I’ll come back and buy you delicious food!”
She was like coaxing a child, making Sun lose her temper and scolding her. He said: "Who cares about you? You are so thick-skinned, you don't know how to be ashamed!"
He Jiuniang still got the chance to go out alone. She unloaded a horse from the car and jumped He got on his horse and rushed out in a flash.
Everyone was stunned. Lu Guilan couldn’t help but sigh: "When will the third sister-in-law know how to ride a horse? She is so awesome!"
"The third sister-in-law has always been very good. !”
You girl looked at her little aunt very proudly, as if she was the one who could ride a horse.
Not to mention that the women were surprised, even the old men were dumbfounded. The equestrian skills were beyond their reach.
Many people gave a thumbs up, showing admiration from the bottom of their hearts.
He Jiuniang didn’t think about this. Although she had never ridden a horse before, couldn’t she learn this thing just by looking at it?
She was very happy when she finally came out by herself, and she rode her horse and had fun.
Actually, she just wants to buy some cosmetics to put on some scar makeup. These things may not be available in Jingzhou City, but she still has to go there so that the things she took out from the space can pass through. , otherwise it will easily arouse suspicion.
The most important thing is that I want to go to the city in advance to explore the news and see if it is true that not a single strong man will be accepted?
It’s really fast to ride a fast horse for ten miles. We arrived in a short time. There was a line of people waiting to enter the city at the city gate.
There were men and women in the crowd, but most of the men were older, and it seemed they all knew the news.
He Jiuniang led her horse forward to ask someone, and the person at the end happened to be an old man with a hunchback., and asked: "Old man, is it true that Jingzhou does not accept young men?"
The old man sighed after hearing this: "Isn't it true? There were four sons in my family, and only one is left after fleeing. The next two have gone to the military camp. Now I am the only old man to lead this group of orphans and widows. How will we live in the future!"
As the old man spoke, he began to wipe his tears. , there were several women and children standing in front of him, their eyes were also red, it was clear that they had stepped out of the tiger's den and into the wolf's den.
The others listened with earthy faces and did not interrupt, but there was sadness in their expressions.
Although Jingzhou is prosperous, they are all farmers and have to cultivate the land. There is not a single strong laborer in the family. How can this family starve to death?
This is indeed a problem with the court, that is, they don’t know how they will end up. If they don’t handle it well, civil strife may break out again.
But these are not things that He Jiuniang should consider. She is only responsible for letting the Lu family live their lives well.
People queuing up here are waiting for officers and soldiers to check their household registration, and then they have to go to a designated place in the Yamen to wait for arrangements for their whereabouts.
He Jiuniang just went into the city to buy some things and did not need to queue up, so she took the horse and went directly to the gate of the city. She took out a document that could prove her identity and checked her household registration with the officers and soldiers to confirm that she was a good citizen. Then let go.
She went directly to the Yamen to see what the situation was like. When she arrived, she found that the area around the Yamen was full of refugees, all waiting for arrangements from the Yamen.
"Brother, official officer, how should the Yamen resettle these refugees?"
She squeezed forward and stuffed some copper coins into the hands of the Yamen servant before she even opened her mouth.
The yamen servant was going to scold her for obstructing official duties, but looking at the money in his hand, he couldn't say anything about chasing her away.
"From your accent, you are not a native of Jingzhou?"
The yamen servant weighed the silver in his hand and looked at her with a bit of scrutiny in his eyes.
He Jiuniang had been eating and sleeping with everyone all this time, and she didn't pay attention to her grooming and maintenance. She was tanned unusually, which made her look unappetizing.
Therefore, even if the yamen officer looked at her blatantly, he did not arouse any bad thoughts.
"Yes, our family is also here to flee, but everyone is still behind, so I sent me to find out the situation."
He Jiuniang smiled compensatingly, showing a white face tooth.
The officers and soldiers saw that she was really ugly like this. They turned their heads to one side in disgust, pointed at a group of refugees and said: "Our Jingzhou is the fiefdom of His Highness King Chen. We should not care about you. But His Highness’ benevolence goes beyond just taking inWomen and children, I am still willing to give you housing expenses, so you can just enjoy it secretly! ”
Later, following the words from the Yamen servant, He Jiuniang roughly understood some basic information.
Jingzhou was rich, and King Chen also had plenty of money. Seeing that most of the refugees had little money. For the sake of women and children who have the strength to tie a chicken, one is counted as one, no matter how old they are, each person is given two taels of silver as settling-in allowance.
Two taels of silver is a lot. In the past, these two taels of silver were Two taels of silver are enough to feed a large family for a year. Now that each person gets 2 taels, it is already smoking from the ancestral graves.
In addition, there are many people in Jingzhou, and the land is not enough to allocate, so the government does not They may be given good farmland directly, but they can only be temporarily sent to the village to settle down. If they are willing, they can go up to the mountains to open up wasteland. If they are not willing, they can also rent farmland from the landlord's family. Although life will be harder, at least they will not starve to death.
Of course, if the conditions are good and those with extra money can buy fertile land from local people, there are still many people buying and selling land these days, as long as it is legal and reasonable, and the buying and selling is free.
"That's it, His Highness King Chen is such a good person! Thank you, brother official, thank you, thank you! ”
He Jiuniang’s eyes sparkled with praise, which made the government officials feel proud.
After finishing the superficial work, she disappeared into the crowd and left. Only then did she feel relaxed. Slowly stroll around the streets.
Jingzhou City is indeed the most prosperous city second only to the capital city. It is not at the same level as Qianzhou City. The streets are filled with the cries of various vendors and children. The streets are twice as wide as Qianzhou City, and there is no drought here. Except for the disgraced refugees, everyone else's faces were happy and full of joy.
Looking at this scene, He Jiuniang was very satisfied. If the Lu family could settle here, their life would only get better. The better you come.
The city is very big, and there will definitely be endless shopping in a short time. He Jiuniang went shopping on one street, bought some snacks for the children, and prepared to go back. Wait for everyone tomorrow It’s not too late to go shopping after everyone has entered the city.
The crowd not far away suddenly became bustling, and He Jiuniang went up to take a look, what a guy!
