049 Fireworks in the world
"Refugees from Yanzhou? Ancestral home in Sanyang County? ”
After a group of officials heard Xu Da's self-report, they all gathered around, and said in surprise while looking at them:
"There are really refugees who fled from Yanzhou to Jizhou, how did you get here?"
Looking up behind them, there were no carriages and horses, not even a mule, but I also knew that ordinary people could not afford these expensive livestock.
"So, you're all here?" The official said in amazement.
The five members of the Xu family nodded neatly.
Wang Dayou's family also agreed.
The officials looked at each other, since the promulgation of the decree, this is the first batch of Yanzhou refugees who came to the city, and they have no experience in how to deal with it.
Several officials pushed each other, and finally one of the oldest officials stood up and motioned for King Xu and his family to go with him.
"Come with me, go to the government office first." The official greeted, his expression not impatient, nor enthusiastic.
Xu Da and Wang Dayou thanked him, and then led his family to follow the official into the city.
The county seat is not large, with a total permanent population of less than 1,000 households, but the neat streets, orderly shops and stalls, and the people walking on the streets all give people a thriving and prosperous scene.
Xu Yue fled all the way and saw too many deserted villages and abandoned cities, and when she stepped into such a city full of fireworks, she suddenly felt an inexplicable emotion.
"Woo woo woo ......"
There was a suppressed sobbing sound beside him, Xu Yue turned her head to see that Tong was covering her mouth, her eyes were full of tears, and the difficulties of the month seemed to have been released at this moment.
Xu Yue: It seems that I am not the only one who has been moved.
"The little surname is Xu, I don't know what the official is called?" Xu laughed and chatted with the official.
The official glanced back at him, as if he was thinking about whether Xu Dapei was worthy of talking to him, but seeing his sincere eyes, he paused for a long time and replied coldly:
"My surname is Liu."
Xu Da nodded, "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Liu." ”
"Adults don't dare to be, I'm just a small official." Liu Rong refuted hard.
If you were someone else, you would probably be so embarrassed that you didn't know what to say at this time, and finally laughed at it, for fear of offending adults, and didn't dare to speak again.
But who is Xu Da?
The one in front of him is the only official he can contact with in his current identity, although as Liu Rong himself said, he is not worthy of being an official.
But people are people in that system, and their own family is about to settle in Hejian, and the specific situation is not yet known, if they can get a little more useful information from this person, for them, the uncertain future can add a little more certainty.
Xu Da did not have the slightest embarrassment on his face, but changed his title very seriously and called him Liu Chaye.
And I asked again, such as how to resettle refugees, what fees need to be paid, and so on.
While asking, he held Liu Rong's hand and quietly handed him a heavy money bag.
Liu Guancha, who was originally cold and unapproachable, suddenly raised his eyebrows, and glanced at Xu Da in surprise, this refugee doesn't look like a refugee.
The guys at the door saw that they didn't make any money, and no one refused to take this errand, and he didn't want to, but he came a few years earlier than these guys, and if he was held accountable, he would be the first to take him under the knife, so he had to take over this errand.
I didn't think about it, but there could be an unexpected gain?!
Liu Rong secretly checked the money bag, and estimated that there were two hundred dollars, enough for two catties of beef and one catty of good wine.
The indifferent look suddenly disappeared, revealing a kind smile, "You are the first batch of refugees to come here, and the specific details depend on how Lord Hu Cao arranges." ”
"But I have heard adults say that the surrounding villages died too much last winter, and a lot of fields were wasted, so I think I should arrange for you to go to the nearby villages."
As he spoke, for the sake of two hundred dollars, he kindly comforted me, "The people in these villages have all eaten wine with me, and when the time comes, I will tell them that I will settle you well." ”
Liu Rong's words were spoken quietly and quickly, and they were dialects, and Xu Da tried hard to understand them, and Xu Yue translated them in a low voice, so he understood what he meant.
Xu Da nodded, and asked tentatively, "Master Liu, do you have to go to the village?" What if you stay in the county? ”
Xu Yue, who was specially held in Xu Da's arms as a translator, heard Daddy's words and knew that he didn't want to go to the village and wanted to stay in the county seat, so she pricked up her ears expectantly to listen to Liu Rong's answer.
Unexpectedly, Liu Rong paused, suddenly became cautious, and the fox asked:
"You kid want to stay in the city? If you have no land and no land, what do you do to make a living? ”
Now it is an eventful season, Jizhou is on the one hand wary of the Black Rock Army in the west, and on the other hand, it is fighting with the Yanzhou Displaced People's Army.
Now that he saw it, he suddenly felt that this Xu Da in front of him was very suspicious!
Xu Da and Xu Yue felt Liu Rong's unkind gaze at the same time, and the father and daughter chuckled in their hearts, they never expected that they would be treated as spies after asking so many questions.
Xu Da hurriedly explained, saying that he was frightened by the previous exile army, and felt that the city was safer, so he asked casually, which dispelled Liu Rong's suspicions.
It's just this temptation that Xu Yue's family clearly felt the tension of the current situation.
The bustling fireworks we have just seen are just a manifestation of peace that people have worked hard to maintain.
In essence, now this Daqing kingdom is on the verge of overturning.
However, after bringing the two families to the mansion, Liu Rong suddenly said to Xu Da again: "If there are people from this county to help you as a guarantor, it is not impossible to stay in the city." ”
The family of five, who had been in exile without relatives, was suddenly silent.
It seems that it is almost impossible to stay in the county seat now, and the nearby villages are their final destination.
However, it is relatively peaceful here, and there is no disaster, so go to the village and go to the village. When you settle down, you can plan slowly.
The family of five looked at each other, and it seemed that they had all accepted the fact that they continued to be farmers.
Wang Dayou's family didn't have so many ideas, and they were already satisfied with having a place for them to settle down.
He had observed that the villages near the county seat of Hejian were all very good, with open land and rivers, which were much better than their Dawang village, which had many mountains and few waters.
When you have the fields, you will work hard in the spring of next year, and life will gradually get better.
Wang Dayou waited with great anticipation, but the Xu family still wanted to work harder.
Seeing that Liu Rong entered the county government alone, Wang whispered to Xu Da: "You go to find this official surnamed Liu again, although they are all villages, but there are differences, try to arrange a good condition." ”
Xu Yue heard A-Niang's words, and hurriedly reminded: "If you want to be rich, build roads first, Daddy, you need convenient transportation!" ”
Seeing his daughter's anxious and worried appearance, Xu Da nodded her little head funny, "Okay, listen to you." ”
After that, he took out the big money bag in the wooden box, signaled the family to stay where they were and not to move, and quietly followed in the direction of Liu Rong.
