Chapter 157: Entering the City to Watch
"It is not an easy task to resettle displaced people, with food rations, shelter, land distribution, tax exemption, and improved seeds...... and the soup kitchen at the gate of this city, where do you not need money. Yan Huaiwen said: "In the future, I will send officials and officials to their hometowns to send official documents, cancel the registration book with others, spend money all the way, and then seek a convenience.
The Guanzhou Mansion is a feudal town, and half of the tax revenue has to go to the King of England, and the remaining half can go to the treasury.
This half has to maintain the daily operation of a large mansion, and there is not much left, and if there is another natural and man-made disaster, it will be impossible to make ends meet.
In fact, the situation in each major government is similar, and the collection of registered silver has almost become an unwritten charter, and the difference is only in how much. ”
"Then how much does this Guanzhou collect or how little?" Yan Lao Er asked curiously.
Yan Huaiwen said: "Guanzhou intends to evacuate the victims and settle in the other five cities outside the city, it is a high price, ten taels per person, unless the rich are can, Gu Feng and Changping charge a small amount of silver is normal, this tiger is in the city......"
He smiled and shook his head: "It seems generous." ”
Liang Manshan just laughed, and the words of Xue Zongqi were just uninformed countrymen, and in their ears, there were many loopholes.
This place is not a place to speak, and Liang Manshan only said to Yan Laoer: "Brother Huai'an, enter the country first." ”
Yan Lao Er immediately shut up, and his mind turned.
Yes, their army is still being stopped.
Always let someone come in first.
This city pass is two boundaries.
Only after crossing this gate did they really step on the land of Guanzhou Mansion.
As for the matter of settling down, there are Lao Yan and Manshan to think about.
With them, they won't suffer.
……
The city was opened, and the victims entered.
Xue Zongqi stood on a high place, looking at this group of people, his eyes lit up.
From time to time, he chatted with the little flag around him: "Look at that big guy, hey, the young body is so good, it's the material for being a soldier!"
The ones in front are good, and they look stronger than those in the back, hehe! It's all good, it's all seen in blood, it's really good, it's really good! ”
Xue Zongqi is like a hungry wolf seeing meat, and the harazi is about to flow out.
"Chief, how do you know these people have seen blood?" Xiaoqi looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see what was going on.
"My eyesight, not blowing, I can count all of the eighteen guards, don't you believe it?" He smiled and said, "Let me ask you, if you are a disaster victim, why don't you take the official road and drill in the mountains on a detour?" ”
"Didn't you say you met a bandit?"
"! There are so many people and so many cars, and there are not many things, and they are not hungry people at a glance, and there are only a few birds in the mountain bandits.
Leshan Mansion is next to us, Qishan Mansion and we are not, it is said that it is a drought to escape the famine, isn't it closer to the south? And the south is also rich, why did you come to our Guanzhou? ”
"Yes! Why can't they think about it? "Xiaoqi can't figure it out.
Xue Zongqi glared at him and said in a rough voice: "Here, something's wrong!" ”
Xiaoqi asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Xue Zongqi gave him a head hammer, "What do you care, people come to our Guanzhou, it's really a crime, wait for our official documents to be sent to their hometown, don't they have to be exposed, and then the good people become prisoners, better, send them directly to the quarry, hehe!" ” …
"Chief, what did you tell them? Are they willing to settle in our tiger city? ”
"Just tell Master Tian about those policies, the land is exempted from taxes for three years, and other cities want money, we don't want it, can we still be satisfied?"
"Who did I lie to me, isn't that true? Wasteland is also land, just raise it for a few years! Xue Zongqi said with a glare.
Xiaoqi shrank his neck and whispered, "Even if you don't say it, Master Tian will say it." ”
Xue Zongqi looked at him with his eyes for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, I have to run, don't let the old man Natian spoil a good thing!" ”
Xue Zongqi acted resolutely, immediately ordered a team of people, and whistled towards the tiger city.
……
Enter the border of Guanzhou.
The group followed the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the guard station and walked towards Huju City.
The Yan family's ox cart was still in the lead, and the speed was more than half slower than a few days ago.
The three treasures walked steadily, and it seemed that the distance should be measured and maintained at every step.
The big guy didn't understand why he was walking so slowly, but no one spoke.
Along the way, everyone has great trust in Xiucaigong, and they watch the Yan family act everywhere.
"Brother Huai'an, this is Tiger City, Yongning City is here, and Gu Feng should be in this position." Liang Manshan used the stones picked on the road to lay out the direction.
Yan Lao Er drew charcoal on a piece of cloth and put it close to his body.
"God bless, you go, it's best to enter the city and enter the town to watch, if not, there is a tea shop near the city gate, and you can also listen to one or two.
Stay away from the homeless. ”
"I remember Big Brother." Yan Lao Er said solemnly.
"We try to go as slowly as possible, and if you don't return, we will delay as much as possible outside the city, so you don't have to be in a hurry."
"Uh-huh." Yan Lao Er responded.
Qi Da discussed with his two younger brothers and decided to let Qi Si go with him.
There are three brothers, and Qi Si has more experience in dealing with people.
Qi Si was going to ride a horse and mule, but as soon as he went up, the mule stopped doing it, and he kept screaming, and he had to throw people off several times.
In the end, there was no way, so I had to use the Yan family's ox cart.
Yan Lao Er drove the car, and Qi Si sat in the back.
Qi Wu saw that the place was big enough, so he sat down silently.
Qi Da stuffed a few bags next to his two younger brothers.
Inside are herbs that disguise their identity.
Yan Lao Er planned to use the excuse of going to the city to sell herbs to inquire about the specific regulations for the resettlement of displaced people in Guanzhou, whether it was really as Xue Zongqi said.
This Xue Zongqi, anyone can see that he wants to leave everyone in Huju City.
……
Slowly walked all the way, and finally arrived outside the tiger city.
The city tower is towering, the word tiger is written on it, the city wall has traces of damage and repair, it looks like an old man who has been destroyed by wind and frost, and the wind and candle are in his last years.
Yan Yu's little brows furrowed.
Outside the city gates, there were many pergolas, but they were empty.
When the officials who were guarding the gates of the city saw them, they turned around and ran into the city to deliver the letter.
Yan Yu's ears were pointed, and he seemed to faintly hear the shout of "people are coming, people are coming".
They had already been told by Xue Zongqi that they could not enter the city, and could only live under the pergola for the time being.
I didn't come over without knowing each other, and settled down one after another.
The big guys live in the wilderness, and there is a grass shed under them to shade the sun, the cool breeze is blowing, and there is no dissatisfaction, regardless of men, women and children, they are busy.
Fix the cart, crooked on the car, there is a bamboo bed in the splicing, shake off the broken sheet on the ground, and the broken grass mat is blocked by two handfuls of grass next to it......
When the officials came out, they saw this strange sight.
Methodical and unhurried.
From their mental outlook to their behavior, they are not at all similar to the victims they have seen before.
