Ye Hao was stunned for a while.

She thought that her proposal would reassure the refugees, and even if some people did not want to, it should be only a minority, but she did not expect that everyone would oppose it so fiercely.

"No, no, I'm not going to take you as slaves."

Ye Hao wanted to explain clearly, but the angry refugees didn't listen to her, but surrounded her again.

A bunch of people leaned over, Ye Hao's heart was beating wildly, and she was faintly afraid.

Xie Yunshu walked to her side quietly, and his cold gaze slid over everyone. The refugees were stunned by his gaze and involuntarily stopped.

Ye Hao's heartbeat slowed down, but she still didn't dare to relax, and her mind was racing thinking about what to say.

But she also understands that in this situation, no matter what she says, the refugees will not believe it.

Xie Yunshu sighed almost inaudibly, and turned his head to the head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The main bookkeeper was active, and immediately understood what Xie Yunshu meant, cleared his throat, and stepped forward to say to the refugees:

"Ahem, everyone misunderstood, this official is here to explain to everyone, this lady is not here to ask you to sell yourself into slavery."

The refugees looked at him suspiciously:

"It's not that you want us to sell ourselves, so what are you trying to do with us?"

"What this lady means is that she pays for you to build a house, and when she finishes it, she hires you to plow the land for her, as she hires any other tenant. You don't need to sign any deed of sale, just hand over the harvest just like ordinary tenants."

The main book explained what Ye Hao said, maybe it was this official uniform that bluffed people, and the refugees did not immediately object, Ye Hao saw it next to him, thought about it and added:

"I will give you cash for the harvest you hand in, as if I were the buyer who came to you to receive it."

These refugees fled from the north and were not familiar with Lingnan, so they naturally had a heavy sense of guard, even if the main book and Ye Hao explained, they were only suspicious, and they weighed in their hearts how credible this was true.

Ye Hao looked at their distrustful gazes, and secretly feared that it would be suspended.

But the chief bookkeeper did not notice that he did not usually come to the refugee area, and he had no prestige among these people, so he mistakenly thought that their silence was agreed, and immediately beckoned:

"Agreed? If you agree, we will ......."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by a refugee:

"Ouch, my leg hurts, I can't go."

The master followed the prestige, and saw that the man who spoke stood upright, and when he met his gaze, he pretended to press his leg and called.

The other refugees followed suit, and they also made excuses one after another to say that they would not go, and there were cries of pain near the shack.

The chief bookkeeper's face was pale, for fear that someone would come over, and after seeing the appearance of these refugees, he went back to sue him, and he was a little speechless for a while:

"What are you doing like this? This official warns you that this noble man is the stepmother of the prince of Cheng'an, and you unsightly, people will not be able to believe you!"

Before the refugees came to Lingnan, they had also heard about the Cheng'an Palace, and they were all stunned when they heard what the master said.

After a while, someone asked carefully:

"What you said, but it's true?"

"Of course it's true."

The master snorted coldly, turned his head and wanted Ye Hao to step forward, Xie Yunshu stepped forward to block his sight, and glanced at him calmly.

"Mr. Fu......"

The main book was glimpsed into a cold sweat behind his back, thinking that the two nobles didn't want to reveal their identities, but they were pierced by him.

Thinking that Ye Hao had never revealed his identity before, the master bookkeeper couldn't help but panic, and when he was racking his brains to think of a remedy, Xie Yunshu looked away.

"Do you still have questions?"

Xie Yunshu suddenly looked at the refugee and asked out loud.

After the refugees learned that Ye Hao was the stepmother of King Cheng'an, they were much quieter, and they believed that Ye Hao did not intend to have slaves, but they did not want to be with them

Yi Ye Zhen's plan.

"Or do you still want to go into the city?"

Seeing that they didn't speak for a long time, Xie Yunshu asked again.

The refugees looked at each other, some of whom hesitated and muttered:

"Otherwise, let's go with this lady."

It's a pity that the voice is too quiet, and few people respond.

Most people were still unwilling, so they looked at Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu, glanced at the main book again, and finally got together to discuss for a long time, and pushed someone out to speak.

"We don't know if what you're saying is true or not, what if we leave us alone when we get there? We've all heard that there are places where it's good to just get rid of us refugees, and it doesn't matter if we live or die. If you're really here to help us, let us into the city!"

"Yes, yes, into the city!"

"We can also work when we enter the city, and if you don't let us into the city, you must not want to care about us!"

Xie Yunshu and Ye Hao both discovered that these refugees are not simple-minded people, and it is difficult to convince them.

What's more, they also have a master book that constantly stimulates refugees.

"I said you people don't know what to do, noble people come to help you, but you still don't want to? The ruler tells you that if you don't sign this deed today, don't eat!"

As soon as Ye Hao heard this, she knew that something bad was going to happen, and hurriedly said:

"No, we just came to ask for the will, not the compulsion."

The master also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly followed Ye Hao's words:

"The official is wrong, there is no coercion, and the soup soup is as usual."

After some tossing, the refugees finally believed that they still had food to eat today, and quieted down, but they still looked at them with vigilance.

Ye Hao sighed in a low voice, knowing that this trip was in vain.

The master bookkeeper next to him also said to them:

"Don't worry, the two nobles, next time you come over, make sure that they are obedient and sign the deed one by one."

Ye Hao and Xie Yunshu didn't believe it at all, only a few perfunctory words, then said that they wanted to take a break, and went to the pavilion next to the road to discuss the solution.

Speaking of which, there is also part of the reason for the fierce resistance of the refugees, Ye Hao thought about it with some annoyance, and asked Xie Yunshu:

"Or do I buy them with money, just like I did at the beginning?"

When she rescued those girls, Ye Hao first bought them with money, and then let them understand what they were doing from practice. At this time, Ye Hao also wanted to copy it again.

However, Xie Yunshu shook his head.

"I'm afraid it's not right."

"Why?"

Ye Hao was stunned.

Xie Yunshu motioned to Ye Hao to look at those people:

"These people are well-dressed and healthy, and they don't look like they're at the end of their rope, and the conversation just now proves that these people are not stupid."

Ye Hao also saw this:

"Well, these people are very vigilant."

"So they won't agree easily, but they may take your money, and they won't want to work for you, anyway, they get the money, and they can live with the money after they enter the city."

"Are you afraid that they will take the money and not do anything, in that case, I will be a meat bun and beat the dog—and I will never go back?"

Ye Hao understood it at one point and figured out the joints:

"It's true, those girls are honest people, otherwise they wouldn't be trapped in the Qinglou. These people ......."

She sighed:

"I'll have to find another way."

The two of them were still discussing a solution, and when the chief bookkeeper saw the two leaving, he immediately sent someone to call the refugee leader.

The leader of the refugees was the one who had spoken on behalf of the refugees, and when he was called alone, his heart was full of trepidation.

In the end, he is just a small common man, although he is a little clever, but for the Shangguan Mansion, that little cleverness is useless, this

When he saw that all the officers and soldiers in armor were around him, his legs were too weak to stand.

As soon as he entered, he fell to his knees with a thud.

The master bookkeeper set up a shelf, deliberately pretended not to see it, drank it slowly with a cup of tea, and left it on for a while, before he said in a weird manner: "Oh, what are you doing kneeling, you refugees are very expensive now, how can you kneel for me?"

The refugee leader quickly glanced up at the master book, and then fell back to the ground:

"The grass people don't dare."

The master snorted, this man is a man who can bend and stretch:

"Do you know what the official called you for?"

"This ...... The grass people don't know."

"Oh?"

The refugee leaders actually knew in their hearts, and these people were afraid that they would not give up, so they had to sign the deed and bully them as outsiders.

Before he came, he had made up his mind that he would not compromise, and the refugee leader took a deep breath and raised his head to refuse, but when he saw that the master book was smiling rather than smiling, he looked at him mockingly.

The refugee leader chuckled in his heart, and the words turned around when they came to his lips:

"Please let me know."

"It's not a big deal."

The master bookkeeper put down the teacup, got up and walked around him a few times, and said slowly.

"I heard that your youngest son has been sick and has a fever these days, right?"

"Yes......"

The refugee thought that the main book would mention the signing of the deed, and he thought about how to answer, but he didn't expect that the main book did not follow his thoughts, but talked about his son, and he was a little uncertain at the moment.

"The grass man's son has been slightly unwell these days, which may be caused by long-distance fatigue and some unaccustomed water and soil."

"That's right."

The master paused, leaned closer to the refugee, and whispered.

"But I heard that your son is obviously suffering from the plague."

The refugee jerked his head up.

His son is only three years old, he is a treasure held in the palm of the hand by the whole family, even when he fled, he has not been short of food and food, and he has also looked for people, and they all say that they are not adapted to the water and soil, how can it be a plague?

"What, you want to say that your son is not a plague?"

The master bookkeeper saw what he meant and smiled.

"You still don't understand, why can't your son be a plague? You see, he has a fever and a cough, isn't that a proper plague?"

The leader of the refugees subconsciously wanted to refute immediately, but his eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of the officers and soldiers standing on the side.

A long knife pulled out of its scabbard, and the blade glowed with a miserable white and cold light, reflecting in his eyes, as if it was a warning.

And the main book hit a stick to give a date, and said slowly:

"Today, that noble person is a kind-hearted person, if you follow her, maybe people are willing to pay for your son's treatment, people are kind, why don't you appreciate it?"

The refugee leader suddenly understood that even if his son did not have the plague, as long as the man in front of him said a word, he would have to be a plague.

When there is a plague in the refugee area, according to their usual way of dealing with it, they must isolate people as soon as possible and leave them to fend for themselves.

The naked threat, the refugee leader broke out in a cold sweat, and his whole body trembled so much that he couldn't stop.

"The son of the grass people...... No, the grass people, the grass people are willing to sign the deed!"

The refugee leader figured out the key and immediately said:

"The grass people voluntarily sign the deed, and I hope that the adults will approve it!"

The master didn't expect this person to obey as soon as he was frightened, and he was faintly proud in his heart.

It would have been good if he had done this earlier, he wasted half a day's effort, and he dared to give him a face in front of the nobles before, but the beating was not in place.

"I heard that those refugees listened to you, and since you agreed, what about ......the others?"

"When the grass people go back, let them sign!"

The refugee leader didn't think about it.

After getting the answer he wanted, the master finally had a smile on his face:

"It must be done."
