Chapter 93 The Household Registration System

It took more than four hours to check on the refugees, most of whom were either malnourished or had a cold. The army of 200,000 refugees in Liangzhou froze to death, starved to death, and were killed on the road...... Less than 30,000 arrived in Liuzhou, but even these 30,000 were more or less wounded and sick.

After Yang Zixi claimed free treatment, there was a long queue in the camp, she was busy from dawn to dark, accumulating hundreds of treatment points, but the queue waiting to see the disease was almost not shortened, everyone was grateful, and they were looking forward to the little miracle doctor continuing tomorrow.

For Yang Zixi, this kind of opportunity is also rare, and even has the taste of making a fortune. She even had the idea of staying for a month.

But soon this idea was dispelled, through understanding, Yang Zixi learned that although Liuzhou is big, it can't afford to support so many refugees, so the Liuzhou prefect strictly prohibits refugees from entering the city, but opens an official market at the gate of the city to sell food and daily necessities to refugees.

The price of goods in the bazaar is extremely high, and a stone of rice is sold for twenty taels of silver, which is almost the rhythm of robbery, and the Huang Governor of Liuzhou is the big one who makes a fortune!

Most of the people of Liangzhou took their belongings with them when they fled, and those who refused to give up their silver for a bag of rice at that time are now afraid that they will have their intestines ruined. All those who had some family backgrounds exchanged rice for grain at a high price and continued to go south, and the only ones who lived in the shacks at the city gate were the real poor and white.

This place is not suitable for a long time, although it can provide a lot of healing value, but the price is really unbearable, and they have a few hundred taels of silver and Wang Xiaoshi's silver ticket, which they can't afford.

So Yang Zixi decided to stay for a few days to replenish some supplies. He set off on his way south.

I ended the work at hand and told the other patients to come back tomorrow. Yang Zixi accurately joined Ziwei and Wang Xiaoshi. Twilight and Xiaoshi have already found a decent room in the refugee shack. In order to keep the little miracle doctor, the refugees spontaneously vacated the best place for them.

But even so. It was just a covered hut, and even the stables of the king's family were much better than it.

Wang Xiaoshi and Zidui had already exchanged some grain, and he was feeling sorry for the silver at the moment, and when he saw Yang Zixi coming back, he said: "The price of rice in the government is really dark!" It is clear that all of the old grain that is in the Taiping warehouse is priced at 222 taels and 1 stones! ”

Yang Zixi frowned when he heard this.

Taiping is a reserve of grain hoarded by local states and counties for a famine year, and it stands to reason that without the approval of the imperial court, it cannot be opened at will, let alone sold privately like Liuzhou. The Huang Governor of Liuzhou clearly regarded the Liangzhou refugees as lambs to the slaughter. I'm going to squeeze out the most oil and water and then abandon them and leave them to fend for themselves.

"Parents? That's what it did? She couldn't help but speak.

Wang Xiaoshi smiled bitterly: "Parents official? Since the riots began in Liangzhou, how can we still have parents? The mob is not a good citizen, and all prefectures and counties have the right to act cheaply, so Qinzhou dares to openly massacre refugees, and Liuzhou also dares to exploit refugees at will. ”

"So...... As long as the word Liangzhou exists on our household register, won't we be able to go anywhere? Yang Zixi couldn't help but say.

"So to speak." Wang Xiaoshi sighed, "This is also the reason why most people stay here. But the silver will run out one day, and if you stay here you can't farm, you will starve to death. ”

Yang Zixi was silent for a moment when he heard this. So he found a pot and grabbed a few handfuls of rice: "Don't think about it so much, let's have a good meal to be true." ”

That night, a hot little rice was served with air-dried wild boar. All three of them were overwhelmed. The smell of food spreads through the camps and attracts a lot of attention.

However, no one dared to disturb their meal. First, the Liangzhou prefect arranged for officials to be stationed in the refugee camp to prevent the refugees from looting food and affecting the security of Liuzhou; Second, how many people in the camp are still counting on the little miracle doctor Yang Zixi to treat his illness and save his life. No one dares to act rashly.

On the second day, Yang Zixi did not rush to open a consultation, but followed Wang Xiaoshi and Zidui to the market at the gate of the city.

There are not many people in the bazaar, all of them are people wearing government uniforms selling them, and the people of Liuzhou are not allowed to go out of the city to contact refugees. There are many kinds of things, millet, flour, sweet potatoes, corn, all of which are some of the most satisfying grains.

Yang Zixi bought some sweet potatoes and corn, and asked for a stone of flour, so he said to the little brother of the servant: "Official, the little girl has something to ask for, I don't know if it can be convenient?" ”

The little brother of the servant was only the age of the weak crown, and the hair on his mouth had not yet opened, and he was comforted by Yang Zixi's official call, and when he saw that it was the three young men who had just made a generous move, he raised his chin, and said with a frame like the old man of his own prefect: "Let's listen to it." ”

Yang Zixi smiled sweetly: "Our sister and brother came from Liangzhou, and they were originally from a family of doctors and belonged to good people. It's just that they are burdened by the thugs, and now they are discriminated against. I don't know if the official has a way to help change his household registration? We are willing to pay a lot of money. ”

When the young servant heard this, he was a little moved. The household registration of each prefecture and county is kept in the government for the record, and when local residents move, they usually go to the government to open a road guide certificate, which is equivalent to a household registration book, and then go to the government to register after arriving at the new place of residence. Liuzhou and Liangzhou are both border states and counties, and the management is already loose, and the household registration management is simply a muddled account, anyway, there is only a lot more, and it is not possible to ensure that everyone is registered and written off by households.

Now that the city of Liangzhou is broken, the Song prefect has no life, not to mention those household registration books, if you want to include a certain Liangzhou person in the Liuzhou establishment...... It's also a breeze. There are only three children in front of him, the eldest is not yet weak, and the youngest is only five or six years old.

He sells grain from the official warehouse, although the price is high, but the silver can't pass his hands, and it all belongs to the prefect. At this moment, when he heard that there was an opportunity to make extra money, the young servant was overjoyed.

"It's not that you can't, it's my uncle who is in charge of the household registration, but I don't know how much money you can afford?" He opened his mouth and prepared to ask for a price.

Yang Zixi thought for a while and said: "When I passed by Qinzhou before, the prefect of Qinzhou Tian openly offered a price, and you can enter the city by offering 100 taels of silver, which shows that the household registration of Qinzhou is worth 100 taels of silver, and Liuzhou is richer than Qinzhou, so it will be 150 taels, and our three sisters and brothers are willing to pay 450 taels of silver." ”

The young official opened his mouth, he was just about to offer three hundred taels, and the other party had already quoted four hundred and fifty taels? You must know that he has never seen four hundred and fifty taels of silver in his life! ”

He opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Yang Zixi preemptively said: "The reason why the price is so high is that it can be done as soon as possible." Our sister and brother will not stay here for a long time, at most three days, after three days, you will bring the guide, we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other. ”

The young servant hurriedly said: "A word is a certainty, but this matter can be done privately." ”

"Naturally." Yang Zixi smiled, "We won't make it difficult for you." ”

After negotiating the matter, Yang Zixi spent another fifty taels of silver to order a carriage, dragged her things back to the refugee camp, and she was busy going to see people, and left three days later, and she had to earn as much treatment value as possible before leaving.

Three days later, Yang Zixi got the road guide bought with silver, and since then the three of them have become Liuzhou people.

"Four hundred and fifty taels of silver, twenty stones of rice! Would it really be useful to change something like this? After going back, Wang Xiaoshi couldn't help but ask.

"Nature is useful." Yang Zixi glanced at Zidui, "I've already asked for the way, this time I went south, I was going straight to Huaizhou, I heard that the climate there is like spring all year round, it is the land of fish and rice, and the best academy in this dynasty, Nanhuai Academy, is also in Huaizhou, if we settle in Huaizhou, we can send Zidui to study." Therefore, the household registration must be prepared properly, and Nanhuai Academy does not accept children of unknown origin. ”

Zidu's little face stiffened, and half of the corn cob that she had eaten fell off: "......, do you want to still worry about my studies this time?" ~~~~(>_
