Chapter 24: Settlement
"The prefect is not afraid, more than a month ago, the prefect of Zuobeicheng did not let refugees enter the city, which caused a riot of refugees and broke through the city gate.
Now the prefect of Wenfu City is also afraid, that is, he is afraid that there are too many refugees, and after entering the city, it will cause chaos in the city, so he put forward this condition for entering the city, which is to give the refugees hope and hope.
Of course, there are also rich people in the city soup porridge, so that they have a mouth to drink, so as not to starve to death, if they are lucky, they can also look forward to recruiting workers from the rich families in the city, and if they are selected, they will save the money to enter the city, and they will also have a place to stay, and they can also eat and dress and have silver money to get. ”
However, after Huang Li heard the man say that Zuo Beicheng had caused a refugee riot and killed and injured many people, Huang Li looked at Huang Yiyun in shock.
"Thank you Uncle for telling me." Huang Yiyun squeezed Huang Li's hand.
'Alas! Huang Li sighed in joy or shock.
After the rest of the Huang family finished beating the gruel, they all gave some gruel to Huang Yiyun and Huang Li to drink.
Huang Li drank and told the others about the situation of entering the city here.
Suddenly the crowd fell silent.
Whether they have any money or not, several adults know in their hearts that when the drought hits, they have already bought food with all the money they have saved in previous years.
This is still Huang Li's quick to see the opportunity, without any hesitation, all the money in his house was exchanged for food, and later, the silver money could not buy food.
When there is a drought, there are often things like starving to death, why there are so many children in the Huang family, and there is no reason why one has been lost.
"Grandma, we don't have any money to enter the city!" Huang Yiyun asked after sighing.
If you can't enter the city, you can't settle down in Wenfu City.
After settling in Wenfu City, there is no foundation and land allocation, and when winter comes, what can I do?
Now as long as you enter the city, your family can slowly think about it and live this life.
If you have hands and feet, you won't starve to death or freeze to death, and there is hope for life.
"Enter the city, let's enter the city after drinking porridge." Huang Li said without the slightest hesitation.
If you don't enter the city, if you don't have enough food and shelter from the cold and rain in winter, you will die.
When you enter the city, your family has hands and feet, and you can always find something to do in the city, so that you don't starve to death and freeze to death.
"My mother also has a silver bracelet, which is enough for about one or two, which should be enough for our family to enter the city." Huang Li took out a silver bracelet with a lotus pattern from his arms, and rubbed it carefully for a while.
"Mother, this is ......"
"There is nothing more important than when we enter the city, things and money are things outside the body, there is nothing to earn back, and if our lives are gone, there is really nothing." Before Huang Conghe could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Huang Li.
After the Huang family finished drinking porridge and cleaned up, they walked towards the city gate.
The soup cooks have collected their stalls and are heading into the city.
At the gate of the city, there were dozens of soldiers, armed with knives and guns, cold and cold, with a solemn aura on their faces.
There is a red wooden table on the left side of the city gate, with a thin end of the main one on one side, and a ledger is being flipped through in his hand.
"Sixth sister, ...... later" Huang Yiyun suddenly called out to the sixth sister and muttered a few words in the sixth sister's ear.
"This ......, eldest sister, I ......" The sixth sister suddenly hesitated, or was afraid.
"Don't be afraid, look at grandma, look at my aunt, and the eldest sister and seventh brother, besides, we have always been by the side, and I will echo the words of the eldest sister later." Huang Yiyun touched the head of the sixth sister and said.
"Grandma, give the household registration to the eldest sister! The eldest sister and girl, who are young, may be able to settle in a better village for our family? ”
"It's fine. Take this one! Huang Li nodded, handed the household registration directly to the eldest sister, and wrapped the silver bracelet in a white cloth.
"Grandma, I'll go too." Before Huang Li could answer, the sixth sister ran up.
"This official, are you registered here?" After Huang Yiyun walked in, he asked the master with a smile.
By the way, I handed him my family register.
The master Bo also glanced at Huang Yiyun and the sixth sister with some surprise, saw their clothes and faces, and looked at the household registration she handed over, before asking, "There are thirteen people in your household registration, why are there only two of you here?" ”
"My grandma and aunt are not in good health, my uncle and mother guard them and a few babies, my grandfather and father got lost with us in order to lead away the rogues, and I am the eldest sister, and my grandma entrusted me to handle the matter of settling down." Huang Yiyun pointed to the resting place of the Huang Li family.
"Alas! It's not easy in this world now! You also know when you enter the city, one person hangs money. The master Bo glanced at Huang Li's group of people, seeing the old and the weak, the weak and weak, and a group of skinny babies, looking at this one by one, they were all good, and the master Bo couldn't help but sigh.
"Official, do you think this silver bracelet is enough?" Huang Yiyun was a little reluctant to hand the silver bracelet to the master Bo Dao.
I looked at Huang Li's rare friction of this silver bracelet before, I am afraid that this silver bracelet should be handed down by the ancestors to Huang Li's hands, Huang Li is reluctant, why not himself.
"There are eleven of you, and this bracelet is only about one or two, so forget it." The master took the silver bracelet and weighed it twice in his hand.
"Then thank you to the official, now the official has settled in that county and that village for us?" After Huang Yiyun listened to the official who didn't count the less money, he thought that he would have to say a few words about the scene, but he didn't expect that the official was quite humane and didn't care so much.
"Hey, which county do you want to settle in?" In the past, refugees who wanted to settle in the city, after handing over their household registration, let themselves settle in which county and village at will, after listening to the girl in front of them, they thought she had relatives in Wenfu City?
"Official, the village where our family settled is surrounded by mountains and water, and the mountains are eaten and the water is draught, can it not be a village with the same surname, it is better to be a village with a mixed surname, the village chief and Li are kind, fair and just.
The village that finally settled down is the closest to the town, the county and the prefecture, sir, please. The sixth sister was a little scared at first, but as soon as she said it, the sixth sister, a clever ghost, saw that the master Bo was not angry, and said all the things that the eldest sister had just said to her to the master Bo, and she was pitiful, rubbed her eyes, and wanted to cry and beg the master Bo Dao.
"It's not easy for everyone, let me see first." The master Bo didn't shirk either, anyway, the pros and cons had to be arranged, not to mention that the family in front of him at least made himself look pleasing to the eye.
