Chapter Twenty-Three: Wenfu City
"This ....., mother, you can do this thing, you are in charge." Huang Conghe scratched his head and said.
Look at Huang Li's face, you are in charge.
Huang Li looked at his two daughters-in-law one by one.
Seeing that they all lowered their heads, they clearly let themselves be in charge.
Seeing this, Huang Li couldn't help but sigh.
The boss is smart and has an idea, and his temperament follows him, and the second child is honest and honest, but his temperament follows the old man.
The two daughters-in-law are honest and can't be counted on.
"Grandma, mother, grandpa and daddy in addition to saying to us that they met in Zuobei City, if there is any accident on the way, what do you want us to do, or, have Daddy and grandpa said anything special and like places." After Huang Yiyun saw Huang Li looking at him, Huang Yiyun thought about it and said.
The six cities drawn on the map, Guangyun Mansion, Qiantong Mansion, and Yunhua Mansion, have already experienced drought and flooding, so there is no need to consider going back.
The remaining three cities of Wenfu City, Liuqing City, and Xuanfeng City are considered.
Xuanfeng City has a short summer and a long east, only two seasons in summer and winter, not to mention the cold in winter, and there is a strong wind, and the weather is bad and not suitable for settlement.
Liuqing City is located in the desert, most of the farmland is dry land, wind and rain weather is uncertain, compared to Xuanfeng City.
As for Wenfu City, between the north and south, there are dry paddy fields, in addition to the slightly cold winter, there is more rain in summer, and it is also suitable for paddy field sowing, so settling down in Wenfu City is Huang Yiyun's first choice.
It's just that the major matters of the Huang family are decided by the Huang Li family, and they can only put forward opinions and suggestions.
Although I think Wenfu City is the best, if Grandma asks why it is the best, it is difficult to say that she knows the words on the map, saying how the other two cities are not good, and how Wenfu City is better than the other two cities.
In the memory of the original body, Huang Yiyun was illiterate since he was a child.
"Everyone, if you have anything to say, just say it." Huang Li said after seeing Huang Liu's hesitation.
"Mother, do you remember that you were sick for a while, and you liked to drink porridge during that time? It's just that fine rice is too expensive, our family has no paddy fields, and we are not rich, so Congjiang still gritted his teeth and bought two catties of fine rice for his mother to make porridge and drink.
Although Congjiang is distressed about money, but even more distressed about his mother, Congjiang said, when he makes money in the future, he will buy fine rice every day for our family to cook porridge and eat, Congjiang also said, it would be good if we were in Wenfu City.
He said that Wenfu City is between the north and the south, the products are quite rich, the weather is suitable, and there are paddy fields, and his daughter-in-law can hear that he yearns for Wenfu City in Congjiang's tone. Huang Liu hesitated for a moment and then said.
"Then since this is the case, it is scheduled to be in Wenfu City, and after breakfast, we will set off, the sooner the better." When Huang Li heard this, he pondered for a moment, and then made a decision.
After the Huang family finished eating breakfast, they immediately pushed things and rushed to the direction of Wenfu City.
Huang Li also thought about rushing to Wenfu City, using their own two canoes as a substitute for transportation, and there was no small drag, Huang Li thought that it would take two months to be able to reach Wenfu City.
On this way, there is no way to find food to store for the winter, so in order to reduce the consumption of the grain stored by Huang Li, he picks some wild vegetables and boils paste soup to drink on the road every day.
Occasionally take out some home-prepared food to improve your life.
It's just that on the day when the Huang family left Zuobei City, there was a riot among the refugees in the afternoon, and the refugees directly broke open the gate of Wenfu City, and after entering the city, they robbed those who met food and drink, and trampled to death in Wenfu City, and even the officers and soldiers suppressed and killed many refugees.
The Huang family didn't know anything about this matter, and slowly rushed to Wenfu City.
Originally, Huang Yiyun thought that it would take at least two months to rush to Wenfu City, but it took their family a month and a half to rush to Wenfu City, which was greatly unexpected by Huang Yiyun.
It's just that Huang Yiyun looked at his younger siblings, in the past few months, he has been sleeping in the open air, and he can't keep up with eating and drinking, and he was still raising meat in the winter, but in the past three months, he has directly returned to his original shape.
One by one, they are thin, with large heads and small bodies, protruding eyes that are big and scary, and their bodies are like hemp rods, like a gust of wind that can blow them away.
There are also many refugees outside Wenfu City who have fled to this city and want to settle in Wenfu City, but the refugees who come to Wenfu City are not much better than the previous Zuobei City.
Although there are still people who have built thatched huts at the gate of the city, they will not look particularly messy, and there are still people at the gate of Wenfu City at this moment.
One by one, the refugees lined up to receive porridge and drink.
"Grandma, mother, someone is giving porridge, let's go to the queue." The fifth sister, a foodie, swallowed her saliva unconsciously when she saw someone giving porridge, and quickly found the bowl from the canoe and ran directly to the place where the soup soup was lined up.
"Slow down, be careful not to fall."
"Sister, go too!" The second sister also said.
"Okay, let's go." During this period of time, they ate and slept in the open, did not eat well, slept well, and had hot porridge to drink, how could they not make the Huang family sisters and brothers excited.
One by one, they took out their bowls and ran quickly to the soup kitchen line.
"Grandma, eldest sister went to inquire about the news. Look what's going on here. Huang Yiyun saw that the city gate was opened, and there were many soldiers at the city gate, but those refugees did not enter the city, but lived in the thatched huts built at the city gate, and they were still waiting for people to give porridge and medicine.
When you enter the city, looking for a job at the city gates, even if you don't need to be paid, it is much better than eating this gruel.
I'm afraid of what conditions are needed to enter the city.
"Big sister, grandma will go with you."
After Huang Yiyun and Huang Li walked to the gate of the city, after facing an uncle who came over, Huang Yiyun hurriedly asked the uncle, "Uncle, there are still so many refugees outside the city, and now that Wenfu City is open, why don't they enter the city?" ”
"You want to go to the city! Isn't that easy? Now that he has entered the city, the prefect has already issued an official document, and one person who enters the city must hand over a penny, and he also needs a household registration certificate before he can enter the city or settle in Wenfu City. Otherwise, don't think about it, do you think we don't want to go into the city? Alas! The uncle sighed and said.
"You have to pay so much to enter the city, what kind of reason is this?" When Huang Li heard that one person entering the city needed to pay a penny, he immediately said angrily.
In the past, when I entered the county seat, I paid the money and I just had a copper plate for one person, but when I went to Wenfu City, I actually asked for a hanging of money, isn't this a pit person?
Note: One hundred copper plates are equal to one penny, and ten pennies are equal to one tael of silver.
Silver can be divided into tens, ten points for one tael, and one cent is equal to one penny.
