Chapter 878: Late Night Guests Arrive (3)

In the afternoon, there was no incident, and in the evening, Zhao Lin received news from the Women's and Infants' Hall and Jia Kee Boat Trip, and the ladies and their entourage had safely boarded the ship and would arrive at the expected time.

Qi Ke didn't practice that night, and after receiving the news that the boat had sailed into the waters of Siliu Village, she immediately took the maids to the dock next to the warehouse, and lit more than a dozen bright lanterns along the dock to wait.

Soon, the large passenger and cargo ship came into view, and the passengers on board also noticed the brightly lit pier and the people standing on the pier.

"Sisters, welcome to Siliu Village."

After waiting for the ship to dock, looking at the ladies who walked to the deck, Qi Ke stood below and waved and smiled.

"It's dark and the road is slippery, sisters, please take care of your step."

In order to make it easier to get on and off the goods, Qi's usable springboard was much wider, big and heavy, and it was very stable to walk on it, and her maids reached out under the gangplank to take them to the ground, and brought the lady and their entourage to the ground safely one by one.

"The inn is not far from the pier, and my sisters have been on the boat for so long and their waists and legs are numb, why don't you take two steps and move your legs?"

"Okay, okay, it's just two steps, and I've been shopping more than two steps this afternoon."

"Yes, it's quite okay in Donglin County."

"I think there are very few homeless people, at least less than mine."

"Donglin County is the easternmost county, and it comes to an end here, it is said that the number of displaced people who fled here is the least, and the response measures of our county are different from those of other counties, how dare other counties open the city gate so wide."

Qi Ke walked ahead to lead the way, Zhaolin carried a big lantern to shine under his feet, and the maids picked up the lanterns on the pier and lined up in a double column with the flow of people, illuminating the path under everyone's feet.

"It's true, the city is more strictly guarded, and local residents must bring their identity documents if they want to go out of the city to do business, otherwise, it will be easy to go out of the city, but it will be difficult to come back.

"Tut-tut, isn't it more troublesome for outsiders to go to Dong'an Mansion?"

"Yes, identity documents and official guidance are required, I don't know if I need other documents, our military children just abide by the rules of the general, and try not to conflict with the locality."

"It's a bit dangerous to keep the city gate open like this in Donglin County, think about it, it's almost cold, but there is good news for Donglin County's autumn harvest this year, the homeless people will think that there is abundant food here, beware of the tide of homeless people."

"Huh?!" Qi Ke, who was just listening quietly, paused and turned his head in surprise, "And this?!" ”

"yes, you don't know? The two bumper harvests in Donglin County have long caused discussions outside, and many people are staring at it. The lady who gave this guess took two steps and came to Qi Ke's side to walk side by side with her.

"Yes, yes, that's true, otherwise, would those pig shaving planting manuals sell so well? You know how many copies you've printed, right? "There are people behind him who are constantly echoing, and when it comes to food, the wives of these low-level officers have a lot to say, and they are not less worried about the problem of feeding the soldiers.

"That's, a lot printed." Qi Ke nodded.

"Then do you think this number is more or less than that of military families?"

"One for each family, I don't think there should be much difference, even if there are more, there may not be a few more."

"Even if there are not a few more, there are many, where do these extra end up, do you know?"

"I don't know."
