On the way from Wilderness City to Songhai City, a team of nearly 1,000 people moved slowly, and a team of about 50 cavalry roamed around the team, guarding the safety of the team. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Uncle Li, you said that when you came to Songhai City, will our life really be better? I heard that it was invaded by werewolves not long ago, and I don't know if the damage is serious. A middle-aged man in the team chatted with the storyteller next to him.

The middle-aged man's name is Ma Dong, and he is also a well-known craftsman in Wilderness City, and he was also sold to Shaoyang by the fat city lord, and it just so happened that he and Mr. Storyteller are also neighbors, and the two have some prestige in this line, and they were temporarily appointed by Shaoyang to be responsible for managing the team on the way.

Ma Dong felt confused about the future of going to Songhai City, and it didn't matter if he was alone, but looking at his son and daughter-in-law who were pushing the cart behind him, and his grandson who was less than one year old asleep in the car, he would inevitably be worried.

"If you put your mind down, the werewolves were defeated before they entered the city, and it is said that few escaped. As for the days, the third prince is merciful, and we will certainly have a better life than in Wilderness City. "Li Erhe, as a storyteller, is more well-informed and knows more than Ma Dong.

"I hope so. Ma Dong can't completely let go of his worries for the time being.

If there was a choice, Ma Dong and most craftsmen would not want to move to Songhai City, after all, they have lived in Wilderness City all their lives, and many people have even been from Wilderness City for generations.

It's a pity that the fat city lord didn't give them a chance to choose, and for the sake of gold coins, he issued a mandatory collection order, which the craftsmen could not refuse.

Because of the uprooting of their homeland and feeling confused about the future, the atmosphere of the whole team was a little gloomy, and among the people from Wilderness City, only the storyteller Li Er and his ancestors were more optimistic.

Especially Li Lu'er, she felt that these days were her happiest times, she was wearing the beautiful clothes given by Miss Jiu'er, and the food was better than before, and the third prince said that he would also pay her salary.

Shaoyang didn't arrange a job for her, so Lu'er defined herself as the maid of the third prince, and did her best to do the work of a maid along the way.

The speed of the team couldn't get up, Shaoyang couldn't stand the slow horse, and directly found a carriage.

"Your Highness, do you want to drink saliva?" On the carriage, Lu'er handed a water bladder to Shaoyang.

"Lonely and thirsty. Shaoyang shook his head and refused, lifting the curtain to look at the team outside.

He could feel the mood of the craftsmen, but no matter how much he painted them now, he couldn't dispel their worries, and everything would naturally get better when he arrived in Songhai City.

The autumn harvest has long passed, and all you can see along the way is the depressed scenery, and the farmers take advantage of the slack process to work temporarily, and most of the villages passing by are sparsely populated.

It took two days to cross the border, enter the boundary of Songhai City, and walk for most of the day before I saw the trace of the village.

The first few villages they saw made the craftsmen even more worried, not just depressed, but completely abandoned.

The team came to within twenty miles of Songhai City, what Shaoyang didn't expect was that Xu Shu was actually waiting at the intersection, it should be the soldiers who went back to report to the city to arrange the matters after the arrival of the craftsmen, and Xu Shu knew when he came back.

"I've seen you. Xu Shu stepped forward and saluted.

"Yuan Zhi doesn't have to be polite. Shaoyang got down from the carriage, knocked down the dead leaves on Xu Shu's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I bother you to go out of the city to meet Lonely, but in fact, it doesn't have to be like this." ”

In fact, this is Shaoyang's own affection, Xu Shu did not go out of the city for twenty miles to greet him, but because he happened to go out of the city on business, he came to greet him, and more importantly, to deal with the problem of the placement of craftsmen.

"Shu Ben needs to inspect the construction of villages and towns, and the placement of craftsmen needs to be discussed with the king. ”

......

In the development plan of Songhai City, remote villages and towns will be relocated to the periphery of the city, and construction is being carried out on a large scale, because of this, abandoned villages will appear.

After consulting with Xu Shu, the craftsmen were provided with favorable conditions, in addition to the craftsmen's ability to get a lot of wages, their families who were willing to live in the city could get a house.

If you want to live in a village outside the city, there is an additional family of five acres of land, of course, this field needs to wait for the implementation of the tuntian, and the new wasteland can be allocated after the wasteland.

This move made the artisans ecstatic, and most of them chose to live outside the city, and only a few families who were short of labor or used to living in the city chose to live in the city.

"Haha, good grandson, do you like our new home?" Ma Dong hugged his grandson and walked around his own house.

He and his son were both craftsmen, and even if they had land, they didn't have the heart to cultivate it, so they chose to settle down in the city.

The new home is not big, five rooms, and a small courtyard, but it is much better than the original in Wilderness City, and Ma Dong is very satisfied.

Moreover, the father and son will soon be able to receive a lot of wages, which is enough for the family to live a prosperous life.

"Jin'er, the third prince is so kind to us, we must work hard to repay us. Ma Dong urged his son.

"My son knows. Ma Jin smiled and agreed, even if he didn't need his father to mention it, he would work hard.

Not only to repay, but also to work in Songhai City is not only a fixed salary, but also an additional reward, so you naturally have to work hard.

The craftsmen were properly housed, and every family, like Ma Jin's family, came out of their worries and looked forward to their future lives.

However, at this time, Shaoyang encountered a very headache for him, Lu'er insisted on her identity as a maid, refused to live in the residence arranged for their ancestors and grandchildren, and wanted to stay in the city lord's mansion to serve Shaoyang.

"Lu'er, the job that Lone arranged for you is to take care of your grandfather. Shaoyang could have ignored her and directly ordered his subordinates to deal with it, but when he saw her tearful eyes, he couldn't give up.

"Taking care of grandpa is what Lu'er should do, not a job, since His Highness wants to pay me, then I have to work for His Highness and be a qualified maid. Lu'er stubbornly persisted.

I don't know how many times I have persuaded similar words, but unfortunately Shaoyang couldn't convince Lu'er, so he had no choice but to make a compromise decision: "In this way, you stay in the City Lord's Mansion for two days first, and when your grandfather arrives in Tianfu and starts talking, you go over there to help." ”

In the end, the matter was decided like this, Lu'er stayed in the City Lord's Mansion for two days, and it was naturally impossible for Shaoyang to use her as a maid.

After the Tianfu storytelling began, Lu'er was also busy, and her grandfather was there, so she gradually forgot to be a maid.

This is just a small episode, there are more important things waiting for Shaoyang at the moment, and the news has been sent back from Zhou Cang, the Songhai City army is ready to go, and the suppression of bandits is on the agenda.
