Chapter 228: Departure, Arrival
Early the next morning, when he heard a noise, Li got up from the kang.
I didn't sleep well last night, and I had nightmares almost all night, dreaming that something had happened to the men, women and children in the family.
So much so that the spirit of the Li family is not quite right at the moment.
Pushing open the door of the house, seeing the eyes of several daughters-in-law who were busy in the yard, Li knew that everyone had not slept well.
didn't say anything, made breakfast, and everyone finished it calmly.
Then, Liu and the others whispered to the Li family that they wanted to go into the city today to buy some paper money and come back to pay tribute to their relatives.
Li nodded, and at the same time asked Liu to buy more back.
This is also a tacit understanding, today, every family has gone into the city to buy a lot of paper money.
When I came back, I burned in the yard, and I felt a lot of peace in my heart.
Zhao Fuxiang cheered up and worked hard to buy grain and stock up on food.
From the third day, people began to inquire about the housing prices around Wuchu County one after another.
Wuchu County is more than five times the area of Changle County, plus there is a war on the Yangcheng County side, and the rulers of Qingzhou are also vigilant enough, and they are very lenient with the recent influx of displaced people, so it is very easy to buy and rent houses in the surrounding area.
Some families are tired, some are afraid, and some are dead...... Anyway, for various reasons, many people chose to stay in Wuchu County.
If you have money in the family, you go to the city to buy it, and if you don't have money, you buy it in the surrounding villages.
Anyway, after waiting for five days to pass, after Zhao Fuxiang and his family bought enough food, other families also found a place to settle one after another.
In the end, when Zhao Furui announced that the team was leaving, there were only seventeen households left who wanted to go together, and the number of people was only in their early two hundred.
The reason why the others didn't leave was the same as those who stayed in Shuiyun Village before.
It's just that this time the news of the war came, and everyone was even more determined.
Zhao Furui immediately did not persuade him, and only took the rest of the people to get up early and hurry.
On the morning of the sixth day of the fourth month, everyone who was about to leave arranged their carriages and horses, brought their belongings, and gathered at the entrance of the village.
Those who remained also rushed over to see them off.
Many elderly people said goodbye to their relatives and friends who were quite familiar.
Zhao Furui saw that the sky was already bright, so he hurriedly urged, "It's time to go on the road, when we get to the south and settle down, I'll pass on the news to you,"
"The rest of us too, those who stay pay attention to safety, if there is bad news, they spend more money to live in the city, there are many guards in the city, and it is safe to live."
When the people left behind heard this, they felt guilty and moved.
Some female dependents can't cry even more.
"You should also be well, pay attention to safety on the road, and when you get to the place, you must ask someone to tell us," the old man waved his hand at the team, and there was a crying tone in his words, obviously crying, "This fucking world always leaves no way for people to live." ”
Zhao Furui sighed and directly persuaded people to hurry back, "The weakened body should also be taken care of as soon as possible, if there is really something unexpected here, you can also go to the south to join us." ”
Of course, this is just to listen, it is definitely impossible to go to the south, but everyone did not debunk such a lie, after all, for them, having a little thought in their hearts is also the reason why they can persist in this world.
Zhao Furui couldn't bear to look at others, turned around and shouted at the team, "Big guy, pack your luggage, take care of your own things, and hit the road!" ”
The carriage in front of it began to move, and the people behind it followed unhurriedly, and the long convoy was like a long dragon, winding all the way until the figure behind it was no longer visible.
……
Soon after leaving the village, the team embarked on the official road.
Because of the news of the war, everyone's expressions were still a little sluggish.
The five days of repairing here have added a lot of burden to their hearts.
More or less, there are relatives in the family who have lost news in the war, and they can only hope for the slightest hope, hoping that the relatives who remain will survive.
Zhao Yu sat on the ox cart, sighed with her arms folded, she lowered her head, looked at the official road on the flat ground, and felt a little depressed.
She didn't know how long they would continue to live like this.
What's more, they are confused about the future, more news comes day by day, more bad and cruel news, can they really get all the way to the south safely?
But the news of the war was too fast, and along the way, they met people who fled for the same reason as them.
It's just that the number of those people's teams is more or less, and their abilities are strong and weak, but they are not as good as themselves.
…………
Zhao Furui's direction remained unchanged, continuing southward, passing through Changzhou, and directly approaching Forte in the south, that is, Liangzhou, Chaozhou, Fuzhou and the surrounding areas of Liangguangfeng.
In fact, this is also the safest place that they have summarized through so many years of experience.
It is not more difficult than Yangcheng County to directly clash with the northern tribes around it, and it is not more difficult than Qingzhou Changzhou being sandwiched between the two sides.
Most of the area in the south has been run by the rulers there for a long time, solving the most dangerous problems, and at the same time, the infrastructure in all aspects of the south is good, with Zhao Shanyu's verbal description and the exquisite objects he brought back as examples, these are all proof of the true strength of the south.
…………
Along the way, everyone walked and stopped, and it took about 20 days to cross the Changzhou region and successfully came to the junction of Changzhou and Chaozhou in the south.
It's just that when they came here, everyone didn't know how to go.
The reason is simple, they were directly blocked by thorny fences and a large number of soldiers.
As a last resort, Zhao Furui could only take everyone back to the nearest place called Yunze County to Chaozhou.
Fifty miles south of Yunze County, you can officially cross the boundary of Chaozhou.
"Let's rest here first, and then we'll investigate and see how we can get to the south," Zhao Furui first explained to the people behind him, and then used the same method to rent a few houses in the surrounding Zhuangzi and settle everyone down.
At first, they wanted to inquire with the people in Zhuangzi, but unfortunately the people in Zhuangzi didn't know much, and there was no result, so they could only pin their eyes on the city.
Zhao Furui took people into the city and stayed for almost a day, and when they came out, they really let them find out what they had found.
It turns out that it is not possible to enter Chaozhou in the south at any time.
Every time you enter Teochew, there are prescribed time and number restrictions, as well as household registration requirements.
"First of all, every two to three months, the border between Changzhou and Chaozhou will be opened, and the Yunze County Order will allow 500 people to enter the border of Chaozhou,"
"But these five hundred people, the ones who are asking are not from Changzhou, and they need to buy the corresponding voucher from the county government of Yunze County, a voucher, one person, five taels of silver!"
"He, it costs five taels, it's so expensive, why don't you grab it!"
The others frowned, and many of them jumped on their feet, "Yes, the price is too expensive," and they didn't spend less money along the way.
That's five taels, and a family's normal income for one or two years is not a few.
And this is only the cost of the road, if they really get to the south, they will have to spend money to buy land and buy a house to live.
As soon as they thought of this, everyone was indignant and complained.
Zhao Furui was also helpless, "This is just one person, if you want the whole family to go over, then it will take dozens of taels." ”
What's more, the cost of this voucher is not set by him, if you don't pay it, then make up for it.
"The next time the border is opened, it will be in mid-May, and there are less than 20 days left, everyone can go back and ponder, if you want to go, you can buy it as soon as possible to decide, and if you don't want to go, you can also choose to stay here."
At this time, Zhao Furui did not particularly emphasize that he must go to the south.
In fact, when they arrived in Changzhou, the war turmoil about Yangcheng County also subsided, and everyone was happy, and it did not affect Qingzhou Changzhou, so it was safer for everyone to stay in Changzhou, which was farther away than Qingzhou.
"If you stay in Yunze County, you can get a household registration, you can buy a house at a discount, and it is cheap to buy a field," Zhao Furui said in detail about the preferential treatment provided to outsiders by the county government of Yunze County.
He had heard it from the city, and he had told it to the rest of the group.
"Everyone, go back and think about it, and tell me when you make a decision in three days."
Everyone nodded, went home one after another, and pulled the family members to start a heated discussion.
After Zhao Fuxiang's family discussed, they decided to go to the south.
The reasons given by everyone are also very sufficient, "It has reached this juncture, and you can't give up on the matter of kicking the door,"
Zhao Fuxiang also thought so, and they made a lot of money last year by relying on the shops in the city, and it was enough to use these silver money to buy a voucher to enter Chaozhou.
In this way, counting Zhao Jinyan and Zhao Yinyan, there are a total of twenty-eight people.
Of course, this is not counting the two milk dolls who were born not long ago and the child in the womb of a pregnant woman.
All of them need to buy vouchers, a total of one hundred and forty taels.
Fortunately, when leaving, Li exchanged all the silver tickets at home for silver, and put them in the jar all the way to hold.
