Chapter XXIII. Conditions for Entering the City
There are also many people outside the city gate of Xuanhe Mansion, but unlike the previous Qing'an Mansion, the people outside the city gate are in much better condition.
And there are two sheds not far away, and the subordinates of the big families in the city are giving porridge.
In order not to be a maverick, Gu Yundong placed the Yang family not far away, took two bowls and asked for two bowls of porridge, and inquired about the situation here.
However, an eldest lady said to her, "It's not easy if you want to enter the city, I heard that the prefect is worried that too many displaced people entering the city will cause chaos, so you have to have conditions to enter the city." ”
"On what terms?"
A girl who was about the same age as her next to her looked her up and down for a while, and sneered, "It's useless to say it, you will definitely not be satisfied with seeing you like this." ”
Gu Yundong ignored her, and still asked the eldest mother, "Say it." ”
"It is said that when entering the city, not only must you have a household registration certificate, but everyone also has to pay five taels of silver."
"Five taels?" Damn, grab the money.
Five taels for one person, four of them, no twenty taels?
There is a household registration certificate, and his father Gu Dajiang wanted them to carry it with him at the beginning.
When the girl next to her saw her surprised appearance, she immediately smiled, "It's useless to tell you, and ask." Seeing that you are not as good as me, it would be good to have five copper plates on your body, or honestly find a place outside here and wait for the well-wishers to give you some food, what are you tossing. ”
Gu Yundong turned his head to look at her violently, "What's wrong with you, no one cares about you and you're still trying to find a sense of existence, I know you, do I know you very well?" ”
"You ......"
Gu Yundong turned around and left, the man was half angry to death, "What are you arrogant about?" You wait for me, if you can't enter the city, you don't want to spend the night here. ”
Gu Yundong had already walked to the three of the Yang family and handed over the porridge in his hand, "Drink this first, and we'll enter the city in a while." ”
The four of them obediently drank two bowls of porridge, and the soup cooks over there had already packed up their things and entered the city.
When the city gate was a little quieter, she got up, pulled the car and led the three of them to the city gate.
There were many soldiers standing at the gate of the city, afraid of chaos, these people all had a murderous aura, and the knives in their hands were full of cold light.
Gu Yundong had been observing just now, and found that a young soldier on the left had a very good attitude, and when those soup kitcheners entered the city, he also reached out to help.
She walked directly to him and handed over the household registration certificate in her hand.
The movement on her side quickly attracted the other homeless people who were still stranded at the city gate, especially the girl who had been looking at her with sneering at her before, and sneered at this.
The soldier also looked at Gu Yundong in some surprise, looked at her clothes and face, and then looked at her household registration certificate, and then said, "Do you know the rules for entering the city?" ”
"Five taels per person, right?"
The soldier nodded, "There are four of you, twenty taels in all." ”
"I have." Gu Yundong wanted to thank Qian San, and 'kindly' gave her twenty taels of silver.
Coupled with the five taels of silver that she had scavenged before, she should be able to hold out for a few days after entering the city, waiting for her to find a way to make money.
Seeing Gu Yundong take out twenty taels of silver from his body, the soldier looked at her in amazement.
The girl in the back is even more incredible, isn't she a poor ghost? Why, why is there so much money?
