The fleet still had to stop overnight to load and load the goods, because in addition to the materials that Qi Ke wanted, there were also merchants in the county who bought them, and the merchants who took the boat were almost gone, anyway, the floor where Cao Jin's family was located was quite quiet, and there was no movement of new guests coming up, and she seemed to be the only one left on the whole floor.

  In the second half of the night, the goods were handed over, and the place where the Jia Ji fleet was anchored was quiet, but the city gate was quietly opened, and a team of more than ten Rao came out, including men and women, the men were wearing blouses embroidered with the word Jia Ji, and the women were all young girls, generally three or five years old, ragged and skinny, so they were washed cleanly, and walked sleepily, with a worried expression.

  Some of these Jia Ji guys are holding one- or two-year-old children in their hands, and some are carrying baskets in both hands, and the babies sleeping in the baskets are less than a year old, all of them are not decently thin, and there are even two baskets filled with these newborns, whose skin is wrinkled like monkeys.

  The team silently boarded the boat and handed over the children.

  Affected by the drought, more and more people fled in the capital, and many people went all the way south and then east, and they themselves did not know how to come to Dong'an Province, the easternmost part of Heyang Prefecture.

  Last year, Donglin County, which accepted a large number of displaced people, ushered in a group of displaced people with a larger crowd, but Siliu Village had good news of a bumper grain harvest before, so new displaced people continued to come over in order to have something to eat.

  The county can be regarded as a mercy, and instead of simply and rudely blocking the displaced people from the county seat, they are allowed to go into the city to find odd jobs to earn money to support themselves, but if they are traitors, not only will the yamen arrest people, but the Bai family army will also arrest people to maintain law and order in the county and its surroundings.

  After the displaced people entered the city, all kinds of things happened in life, and there were those who sold their children to people for money, and the abandonment was increasing day by day, because if they were older, they could sell them when they could work, only the young ones were not wanted, and the parents could not afford to raise them, so abandonment became a common thing.

  After Qi Ke received the news, he asked them to take the child and send it to the village with the boat, she came to adopt, not only to earn fame, but also to use it as an ordinary subordinate when she grew up.

  It is precisely because of this decision that there is an arrangement to send people on board in the middle of the night.

  The city gate is naturally good in advance to let people go out in the middle of the night, with the face of Jia Ji Boat Line and a little money to open the way, the matter will be done, but the premise of this is that the city gate is not guarded by the soldiers of the Baijia army, but by the people of the county government, only in the event of an emergency such as war, the army can take over the defense of the city gate, the purpose is to prevent the army from becoming bigger and controlling the county, but in fact, if the army is strong enough, this law is simply useless.

  Now it turns out that the money has made it possible to knock on the gates of the city.

  In the early morning of the next day, Cao Jinshi was still asleep, and the fleet unmoored and set off for Siliu Village.

  Qi Ke received a notice from Zhaolin, and learned that the pregnant woman who was rescued was coming all the way to Siliu Village with the boat, guessing that she might not be able to enter the county seat without her identity, so she immediately ordered to go down to entertain the guests well, and strive to leave people behind, a pregnant woman in the third trimester, there is indeed no other good place to go except her.
