Chapter 308: Hooked

"Bell, bell, bell, announcement!! Notify! Everyone, please note that there are medicines to treat the fire plague and to prevent the fire plague in the castle lord's residence, but due to the limited quantity, those who arrive first at the location will be given first, and those who will arrive later will not be available. The sound of a gong spread in all directions.

"Attention, attention! The family of the person who goes to collect the medicine must be together, otherwise, even if he goes first, he will not be able to get the medicine. The official who struck the gong used his exuberant voice to render the Quartet, and at the same time clearly stated the rules.

The people who heard the sound of the gong all around began to gather at the place where the gong sounded, and even in this case, they wanted to inquire what was going on.

"What the hell is going on?" A thin kanji in a gray cloth shirt asked the people next to him in confusion.

"It seems to say that the city lord has medicine for the treatment of fire and medicine for fire prevention, let us go and get it, but the number is not much, and it can only be obtained on a first-come, first-served basis. But the person who goes to get the medicine must go with the whole family, otherwise he will not be able to receive it. ”

A small man who was a little short, but shone, said.

"How can there be such a good thing, maybe they want to slaughter us." A middle-aged woman said angrily.

This sentence also silenced the people around him. Yes, the imperial court can't be counted on, and the reason why they are so poor here is not just because of the flood. The pressure of the imperial court is also an indispensable part, and in the season when there is no harvest, the tax from the imperial court is still not reduced by half.

The heavy taxes were like a mountain that weighed down on their backs, holding them up straight and breathless.

What's even more victorious is that when the flood broke out, the imperial court issued official grain, but it was sold to them at a high price. In that case, how could they eat so much that every time a flood came, many people would starve to death.

Let's ask, can they trust such a court that is more vicious than bandits and robbers?

"Hey, let's go, let's go, it's not interesting to listen to it anymore." At that moment, a person shook his head, and prepared to go back to his current 'home', no matter what others thought, he would not trust the court anymore, his boss was starved to death twenty years ago.

Suddenly, many people began to leave.

The official who struck the gong saw that these people were ready to leave, if these people were gone, wouldn't his task be completed? At that moment, he was in a hurry and sounded the gong again: "Don't go, everyone, listen to me, this time the medicine is all free, in addition to the shortage of drugs to treat fire plague, the medicine to prevent fire plague is enough." ”

The refugees present paused, and looked at the official who struck the gong with some hesitation.

"Don't believe it, it's true. If you really don't believe it, then go and check it out, and if it's a fee, you can not buy it. Anyway, in the end, you won't lose anything but take away a little bit of the road. ”

Seeing these refugees, he was a little moved, but there were still some small suspicions, and the official who struck the gong immediately lobbied with a lotus tongue.

And these refugees feel that what this official said is also reasonable, and if they ask for money when the time comes, they can choose whether or not. Anyway, in the end, they won't lose anything except for a little walk.
