Chapter 45: All the way to the north

"Wait, wait." Dong Xiaoying quickly divided the mushrooms, the tiger head mushroom was to be offered, and the matsutake mushroom and lion's mane mushroom were left for Mrs. Hu, and they were forced to be held by Ning Zhong.

The remaining mushrooms were placed in the open space next to her, Dong Xiaoying took a step back and motioned for the money shopkeeper to talk.

Qian Chuanzi said politely: "Trouble this brother, we don't understand the market here, you look at the point and get it, can you not let us go into the city and collect mushrooms, it's already a big advantage, don't let you suffer, you look at it, just give a few and win!" ”

Xindao, I see that you dare to make a bid in front of your master!

The steward seems to buy it often, and skillfully separates the mushrooms, "These are worthless, and I buy seven or eight pounds after drying them, I advise you to keep them for food, just moved over, it's not easy, and it's more expensive to buy vegetables than this." ”

When everyone heard this truth, they picked out the worthless mushrooms and spread them on the car to dry.

The steward took the lion's mane mushroom and said: "These monkey mushrooms are fresh, not bad, buy ten taels of silver for a pound in the city, but they are sun-dried, not fresh." This counts you fifteen taels and one catty, I don't weigh it here, estimate the number of catties? ”

Qian Chuanzi responded in a loud voice: "Medium, medium, weigh it, it's almost won, don't let you suffer." ”

The steward secretly rolled his eyes, this man was the most slippery of the group.

"This is pine mushrooms, it's not common, it's occasionally sold, and the price is not fixed, these count you a hundred taels!"

Matsutake mushrooms! Give a hundred taels for a bunch? Is the matsutake mushroom here so worthless? Dong Xiaoying looked at her son, thinking how much money she could sell! Blind.

The steward picked up the truffle, "This rock mushroom is good, you just give it to the trading house, these are at most a hundred taels, and I will give you three hundred taels of these." ”

The men rubbed their hands excitedly, Chang'an was blessed, and a soak of urine took out three hundred taels.

"Oops! Cuckold mushrooms, okay, okay, is that all? I want it all, I want it all, and it's a hundred taels. The steward rummaged through Fang Yue to find the basket that looked like a poisonous mushroom.

In the end, it was about the same as estimated, mushrooms, wolf skins, tiger skins with holes, bear skins, and bear paws, and the steward gave a whole thousand taels.

Everyone cheered regardless of the image, a thousand taels! They had never seen so much money in their eight lives, and a piece of light paper was a thousand taels of silver?

A thousand taels of silver, what a flower!

Brother Mingyuan, why haven't you come back, we have money, just like you said, let's make money together as a group, and we really make a lot of money that I didn't dare to think of before.

The patriarch is busy pressing down one by one, receiving, receiving, don't make noise, don't laugh so that people can see their throats and eyes, they are a little deep, don't make people laugh!

"Why haven't I come back yet?" This head is exchanged for a thousand taels of silver! Mrs. Niu stared at the silver ticket, this thing is not hit, don't sweat, there is no sound on the ground, no silver is good.

The steward thought about it and said, "Xu is a lot of people, and he ...... settle down to receive food."

"What?" Qian Chuanzi exclaimed: "Give back the grain? The real thing? ”

Mrs. Hu nodded at Ning Zhong and said, "They can't get in, so you pull the empty car in and help get the food." ”

The middle-aged man persuaded Mrs. Hu, "Third aunt, let's go back!" The time to come out is not short. ”

Mrs. Hu can come out and walk around, and she is already satisfied with her distraction, she is happier than killing pigs at home, and the old sisters are here, and she has nothing to do when she turns around.

"I have to go home, the old sister will go and settle down first, and come home to chat when it is empty!" Mrs. Hu pointed at Ning Zhong, "If you look for him, you will find the door of your house, easy to find, the road in front of the princess's mansion has come to the end and turned, and the front of my house is also a wide alley." ”

"Zhong, Grandma Hu, you come to Fenggu Town when you are free, let's talk about the kang head and taste the hot steamed buns at home." Mrs. Niu warmly greeted people to come home.

"Settle down, my sister will come to the house and sit down, and I will make you sugar water to drink."

"Old sister go back! Come and play at home when you're free! I'll also give you steamed hot buns to eat. ”

"He Hu Grandma, he has nothing to do, he brings his grandson to play, let's make salty gnocchi soup and add sesame oil!"

"I'm the best at pickling salted duck eggs, when the pickling is ready, you can taste it."

Mrs. Hu waved her hands and shouted, "Okay! Go back and settle down, I'll go back first! Da Zhongzi is holding the mushrooms, and I'll make you chicken stewed mushrooms when I go back! ”

Liao Ling told Chang'an: "Brother Chang'an, don't be polite with me, if you have any difficulties, just come to me." ”

Chang An smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you Brother Liao." ”

A few people walked away, Fang Yue whispered to her mother, asking her to look at Mrs. Hu, chatting and walking around the three of them, there were obviously people around them who protected them, this is a secret guard?

"Okay, let's discuss it in private when we go back, what did your dad do, and he won't come back."

Fang Mingyuan entered the city with the distribution documents issued by Beiding City, exchanged them for the documents for settlement, and asked how to change the household registration and what official procedures were needed to move over.

I pondered finding someone to ask what kind of town Fenggu Town was.

On the way, I inquired with the innkeeper and said that there was no home in Fenggu Town, and the surrounding area was full of wasteland, and it was a good place to be surrounded by mountains and rivers.

At the earliest, the garrison of Leping City was in Fenggu Town, and after becoming a princess fief, the horse master adjusted the city defense, and Fenggu Town was vacant.

Because Leping City does not allow foreign merchants to enter casually, Fenggu Town has recently formed a free market, and the big merchants in Leping City will come to Fenggu Town to buy goods when they inquire about foreign merchants bringing goods.

The shopkeeper said that the people spontaneously gathered in Fenggu Town, bartering, and the surplus items at home were used to set up stalls to sell, and there was no government to collect taxes, and there was no land snake to collect protection money, and it was up to them to earn more or less. It's a lot like a rural gathering!

I didn't have a chance to inquire, Fang Mingyuan was very surprised to see Ning Zhong, I heard that there was still food for the An family, and he felt that there were people in the court who were easy to do.

Look, he just registered the documents and made a white deed for temporary settlement, and they didn't mention a word of food to him.

Ning Zhong helped to get the food for the family, and the official carefully smiled and gave a stack of household registration to Fang Mingyuan, and repeatedly instructed him to settle down and report in time, and the yamen sent someone to measure the fields, and the house was built, and he wanted to apply for a red deed, don't be too troublesome.

He also explained to Ning Zhong: There is really no way, there are very few people who have moved to a village collectively, and the only place that Leping City can resettle is Fenggu Town, where there are barracks of the garrison in the early years, which can be dealt with for the time being.

If it weren't for this, we could only settle to villages and towns further north, to be honest, what kind of villages were there over, we all knew that Fenggu Town was really the best place to resettle.

Ning Zhong listened with a straight face, in fact, he was already impatient, you can't stop nagging about this matter.

Fang Mingyuan beat a drum in his heart, they went all the way, there were very few villages, and there were almost no people in the village, to put it mildly, there were not as many people in that village as dogs.

On the way, the shopkeeper of the post station talked to them, and he would rather walk a few more steps to the post station, or rest on the edge of the official road in the open air, and never enter the village.

They have ten rooms and nine empty rooms, and there is no one in many villages, so it's crazy to go in!

What does it mean? They have been in chaos here for many years, and when there was civil strife at the end of the previous dynasty, the foreigners were not honest, and they came several times a year, saying that they were beating grass and valleys, and they were treating their people here as two-legged sheep.

Taizu Jianguo organized the army to fight back, and these places they are now have been occupied by foreigners before.

At the beginning, our soldiers chased and fought with foreigners year after year. It's not easy to fight! The foreign tribes were divided into different tribes, riding horses, and a small group of people jumped over from nowhere, and the army could not defend here and there.

Why are there mountain bandits here, it's not that they can't be forced, and the common people go to the mountains to hide in groups!

Now it's okay, we've driven the foreigners out of our territory, separated by a gourd ridge, and if we want to come on horseback, they have to go over the mountain, and we will be safe.

As for the later mountain bandits, when we settle down, the people have all gone down the mountain and gone home, so we must quickly plant the crops and buy the family business again?

Those who died and didn't go down the mountain really became mountain bandits, and they were exterminated by the troops sent by the horse master.

Fang Mingyuan pondered it and understood, how many years has it been since the founding of the country for so many years? Fifty years? The war has been going on, and the people on both sides are almost dead, but it's not stopped!

Officials have been talking about Fenggu Town, which may not be a good place if it is not a ghost village.

The grain was brought out, and the cars were full of grain, Fang Mingyuan thanked Ning Zhong again and again, and then followed the official servants who sent them, went around to the north city gate, and walked all the way north along the official road, towards the new home that he was infinitely longed for in his heart.
