It is said that on the day that the minister arrived at Yongning Mansion, it rained suddenly on a sunny day for an unknown number of days, and it rained heavily for three days and three nights.

The parched land was moistened, and the lifeless people cheered and shouted, as if they had finally seen the dawn, and they all said that this was an auspicious time from heaven, announcing that the new emperor of the world was the contemporary Ming monarch and was favored by heaven.

Gu Yundong was still in Xuanhe Mansion, and he didn't know the boiling news over there. Even if she knew, she didn't care.

She was standing in front of the bulletin board at the city gate at the moment, looking at the notice she had just posted, and frowned slightly.

This proclamation is about them, the victims who fled the famine, Yongning Mansion already has food and silver for disaster relief, the chaos has calmed down, order is slowly restored, and they naturally want to go back.

Anyone who goes back will be given a certain amount of travel expenses and exempted from taxation for three years.

Of course, it is okay not to go back, and the displaced people will be resettled on the spot, attached to the register, and re-registered by the yamen. There is no three-year exemption for this kind of tax, and there is no money to take.

And the place to settle depends on your luck, basically not in too prosperous and wealthy towns, or even slightly better villages. The fields are also not allocated, and you are given a maximum of two acres of wasteland to cultivate yourself.

Most people will choose to go back, and the idea of returning to their roots is deeply ingrained in everyone's minds. If you have money, you can be exempted from taxation for three years, and you are still familiar relatives and friends when you go back to your hometown.

What's more, many people in towns and cities have industrial houses in Yongning Mansion, so it is too much of a loss to give up like this.

But these, for Gu Yundong, there is not much temptation.

After reading the notice, she returned to Cousin Ke's house with the vegetable basket.

Cousin Ke was sitting in the yard, holding a needle and thread and making shoes for the two little ones. She found out that this girl who is very good at cooking can't make clothes and shoes, but Yang can do it, but it's not good-looking.

Cousin Ke hurt the two children, so she asked Gu Yundong to buy rags and sew them by herself.

While talking and chatting, there were three small stools in front of her, and the two children, including the tall Yang, sat there and listened in a regular manner.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Cousin Ke raised her head and glanced at her, "Why did you come back so late today?" ”

"A new notice was posted at the gate of the city, and I went to take a look."

"What did you say?"

Gu Yundong closed the courtyard door and put the vegetable basket on the stone mill on the side, and then said the content of the notice.

Cousin Ke's hand paused, and continued to sew as if nothing had happened.

Yang and Gu Yunke were still confused and couldn't understand it, but Gu Yunshu understood, and immediately hugged her waist happily, "Can we go home?" Have food at home? ”

Gu Yundong looked down at the little guy with sparkling eyes and asked, "Do you want to go back?" ”

Gu Yunshu was stunned for a moment, blinked and was very puzzled, "Doesn't the eldest sister want to go home?" ”

If you don't go back, where will you go? This is Cousin Ke's home, not his. Other people's homes can't be lived in for a lifetime, and the rent is so expensive.

Gu Yundong touched his head, "Go back to that home, there are grandmothers, second uncles and third uncles, we may have to serve them forever, and we will never be able to eat what we ate two days ago for the rest of our lives." ”

Gu Yunshu suddenly thought of the previous days, and his face changed.

Cousin Ke glanced at Gu Yundong slantedly, scaring the child and shameless.

Gu Yundong didn't see it, and continued to bewitch, "Moreover, do you remember why we can't separate from each other?" ”
