When the families heard that someone outside had rebelled, they were very afraid, they were all honest peasants, and even if they suffered a lot because of the famine, they never thought of rebelling.

"What's going on? What can I do? The third grandmother's hands are shaking, she has lived all her life, but she doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing when she is old, she will be afraid, and she is also worried that her daughter's family will meet rebels on the way to escape the famine.

"It's long overdue." Qin Erlang sneered: "The emperor doesn't provide disaster relief, the officials of the state capitals along the way only think about self-protection and stop the disaster victims outside the city, such a court should have ...... a long time ago."

"Erlang, shut up, can you say this?!" Qin Lao scolded Qin Erlang and didn't let him continue, if his words were spoken, it would be a big crime to kill his head.

Qin Erlang looked angry, obviously unconvinced, but he didn't scold anymore after all.

Gu Jinli also felt that the emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty was very strange, this year was the sixth year of the Great Chu Jingyuan, and the emperor had just ascended the throne for six years, and he had governed the Great Chu to the point that the people were miserable.

This Emperor Jingyuan is just the third emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty, he should have grown up with the strict education of the founding emperor, and the mud on his legs has not been washed.

But Emperor Jingyuan is so stupid, he made the good Great Chu Dynasty stormy.

Gu Jinli didn't know that the reason why this Emperor Jingyuan didn't go all out for disaster relief was to take the opportunity to replace all the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army with his own people, but he was too eager, and the Northwest Frontier Army obeyed the orders of the Wei Guo Gong family more, and until now, he just beheaded the Wei Guo Gong family, but did not take the Northwest Border Army into his pocket, not to mention the chaos of the Northwest Border Army, and the people were dissatisfied, and there were rebel rebels in various places.

"Little Brother Qin, have you ever heard how the government plans to settle us? Can you talk about opening a warehouse for disaster relief, or letting us settle down? No matter how noisy the third grandfather was outside, he only cared about their placement: "It's almost the New Year, it's so cold that people freeze to death, the government won't let us go to Jiangnan, trap us here, we have to give an explanation." ”

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "There is no news in the city that the government wants to resettle the victims." ”

Qin Lao comforted the third grandfather: "Brother Gu and rest assured, the officials and masters are most afraid of the rebellion of the victims now, and they dare not resettle, let's wait a few more days, before the Yamen seals the New Year, the government will definitely give us an explanation." ”

Now it is impossible to give an explanation, there are too many victims, there are tens of thousands of people, and if so many victims are not resettled and are not allowed to continue to go south, something will definitely happen.

Qin Lao guessed correctly, and two days later, a group of guards wearing armor, holding spears, and swords at their waists escorted a scribe in the palace to the outskirts.

The scribe was quite young, looking only in his twenties, and as soon as he came to the grass hut in the suburbs, he asked the officials to ring the gong to lure the victims out.

After all the victims came out, the scribe took out a scroll of documents and read it aloud, but he read the official sayings, and many of the victims could not understand them, so they asked the scribe, "My lord, what are you reading?" ”

The scribe paused, and said the contents of the document again in the vernacular: "The court is gracious, and the prefect is ordered to open a warehouse for disaster relief, and all the victims of the disaster can go to the city gate to receive food and warm clothes by virtue of their household registration from tomorrow." ”

When the victims heard this, they were stunned for a while and cheered, and they finally waited for the government to open a warehouse for disaster relief.

However, some of the victims lost their household registration on the way to escape the famine, and at this time they were very worried and asked the scribe, "My lord, what if you ...... If I don't have a household registration, can I get food and clothing? ”

The scribe shook his head: "No, those who do not have a household registration are all displaced people, and they are not included in the government's disaster relief." ”

When the victims who lost their household registration heard this, they immediately cried bitterly: "Eh, the government is trying to force us to death, we finally hope that the government will provide disaster relief, why don't you save us?" Why don't you save us?! ”

There were many people who lost their household registration, but when they saw that the government had no share in disaster relief, they all stopped doing it, crying and asking the scribe to give an explanation.

The scribe had never seen such a battle, and his feet were so frightened that the guards hurriedly surrounded him, pointed their spears at the victims, and scolded: "All retreat, those who dare to make trouble, will be killed!" ”

The victims were ordinary people, and they were very afraid of the officers and soldiers in their bones, and when they saw those dazzling spears, they were all so frightened that they didn't dare to go any further, and only wiped their tears and wept bitterly.

This scribe was a good person, and when he saw that the victims were crying so miserably, he revealed a message to them: "Your prefect knows your difficulties, and the prefect and the same lord are discussing, and those who do not have a household registration can use money to register as a new household registration as long as they find someone who knows each other as a joint guarantee, and make sure that they are not fugitives or fugitives." ”

When the victims heard this, their eyes lit up, but when they heard that they had to register with money, their faces became sad again: "My lord, how much money do you need to get a new household registration?" We fled all the way, and we didn't have a penny left. ”

Even if they had money before, they had already used it to buy food, water, salt, and warm clothing, and now there are only a handful of people who have money left.

The scribe said: "Several adults are still in the discussion stage, and I don't know how much money they need to get a new household registration." ”

After the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, the management of household registration was extremely strict, and there was a law that clearly stipulated that those who did not have household registration should be judged to be exiles and could buy and sell at will.

Now that there are so many people in the disaster, it is already a great grace for the prefect to let the victims buy a new household registration with money, so these victims should be content.

The scribe feared that the victims would be agitated and hurt themselves, and when he said this, he immediately left with the officials and the guards.

As soon as this order was given, it can be said that some people were happy and some were worried, and the victims of the disaster who had household registration were naturally happy, waiting to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to receive disaster relief materials.

Those who did not have a household registration were crying with their heads in their arms, and after crying, they hurriedly found acquaintances to jointly guarantee them, and then collected money everywhere.

But the victims are poor, where is the money so easy to scrape?

The Yaxing of Fucheng had already sent people to keep an eye on this group of victims in the suburbs, and as soon as they saw that the victims were worried about the money, they immediately approached the victims and asked for money to buy their children.

In less than an afternoon, Renyazi bought a lot of girls and half-grown children, all at very low prices.

When Gu Dashan and Cui's saw those families who sold their sons and daughters, they were extremely glad that Gu Jinli saved the life of the young master of Qi Mansion and received the reward from the young master of Qi Mansion. Otherwise, the family would not know how to survive.

The third grandmother saw so many people selling their children, and even said that she was doing evil, but she didn't have much money left in her own house, and she couldn't help anyone if she wanted to, so she could only take care of her own family.

Qin Gu Luotian's family had household registration, and early the next morning, the men of several families took a child from their own family to the city gate to get food and warm clothes.
