Fengzhou, the ancient road, the yellow sand is all over the sky

"Dad, are you really going to Lingzhou?"

"If you go to Lingzhou, can you survive?"

"What about the land at home? Will you still farm the next year? ”

"I'll go, you stay."

"Daddy?"

"There are still some seeds for farming, let's keep them, and we can only sit and eat and wait for death."

"Left and right are just a death, Dad went to Lingzhou, you stay, you can still live."

"The second, third, and fifth children have all gone to escape the famine, you stay to watch the family, guard the family's property, and come back." An old man instructed his eldest son to resolutely embark on the road to Lingzhou.

The troops fleeing the famine were in groups, and some people were agitating in the process.

"The relief grain of the imperial court was handed over to Lord Zhongwu, and the yamen said that if you go to Lingzhou, you can have a full meal."

"When you come back next year, you can continue farming."

"Each person received a bag of dry food, followed the large army, and walked to Lingzhou."

"There is everything in Lingzhou, there is food, there is drink, even women."

"The yamen prepared dry food along the road, and they will have it when they go." The homeless people may not believe that Lingzhou is so beautiful, but the dry food they received in their hands is real, and many homeless people have crooked thoughts and are ready to rob the grain, but they see the majestic warriors around them who show their swords.

"Helper, are we going to escort these homeless people along the road to Fengzhou?" Wang Yuanxin's subordinates, Zhang Wei asked with some puzzlement.

The Tianxia Society has unified more and more martial arts halls, although they are not powerful sects, but they are good enough to win at the bottom and have enough people.

It is also qualified to give each of them enough food to serve as a guard.

"Yes, we will ask for an order from the Governor's Palace, and we can earn ten taels of silver by sending this trip." Wang Yuan couldn't help but sneer, he sent his subordinates to bear the money and food of the displaced people along the road, and sent a thousand people to Lingzhou, and the governor's palace would give ten taels of silver.

Although theoretically, the grain along the road is provided by the yamen in various parts of Fengzhou, but it is conceivable that now a pound of rice in Fengzhou is more than 300 yuan, and the price is one a day, which is almost a skyrocketing mode.

The governor's palace gave these ten taels of silver, which was not enough for the journey, let alone the food expenses along the road. Wang Yuan, a ruthless person, has to say something when he sees it, you are too bad.

"Helper, this is too much of a loss."

"What's more, these farmers are all forty or fifty years old, and they are sold as contract laborers, and no one uses them."

"Landlords recruit long-term workers, and those over 40 years old will have their wages halved." Wang Yuan's subordinates were also young people, and they felt sorry for the money and food in the gang, but Wang Yuan shook his head, then patted his subordinates on the shoulders, and said in the tone of Lord Zhongwu: "Xiao Zhang, you also have times when you get old." ”

"This time, no matter how much money is lost, all the people must be sent over." [It's just an adult, there are so many homeless people, can Lingzhou digest it? ]

Wang Yuan always felt that the Chu family had invested too much in him, and he felt that the money was too biting, but now when he was transporting a large number of displaced people, he discovered another problem.

There is too little money. Now a pound of rice costs 300 yuan, and Wang Yuan still has 300,000 taels of silver on hand, which is theoretically only enough to buy 1 million catties of rice.

It is practically impossible to buy this amount of food, because if he buys it on a large scale, the price of food will skyrocket further.

Even if it is bought, it is only the ration of two or three days for a million displaced people. Although Chu Qianqiu mobilized the trading houses in Lingzhou, and the imperial court also sent relief grain to Fengzhou, as if there was magic in this place, how much food came in, it was like entering a black hole and disappeared without a trace.

"Are you ready, my lord?" At the same time, the tooth people in Lingzhou have become extremely busy.

Because the landlords everywhere have put forward demands, they are frantically recruiting long-term workers.

"Recruitment, in addition to the ancient staff of Yanbo Town, we will recruit another fifty people, and there will be a salary of 2 taels of silver a year."

"It's only 2 taels of silver, and your offer is too low."

"The old man Wang in Baixiang Town said that they would offer a price of 3 silver miles."

"Let's go, let's go to Master Wang's house."

"Wait, don't worry, the Gu Yuan is covered with food and lodging, and you are allowed to bring a family member." The tooth man was in a hurry, this morning, he didn't recruit anyone, how to talk to the ancient staff when the time came.

"It's really strange these days, why do you suddenly have to recruit so many people."

"Let's come and listen, the Lu staff in Qingshi Town are recruiting workers, and their annual salary is 3 taels of silver."

"It's more than at home." Another tooth man, as if he wanted to grab business, suddenly announced a new salary, so that the long-term workers immediately surrounded him, who expected that before the long-term workers digested this surprise, a big bald head appeared in the tooth market, chanting a Buddha name.

"Nan no Amitabha!"

"Our Fahua Temple is going to give out 4 taels of silver this time! Recruit 200 people! ”

"What, 4 taels of silver, master, I want it!" The long-term workers who were looking for jobs immediately raised their hands and shouted loudly.

"Master, why are you here to recruit workers?"

"It's weird, these days, how are there jobs everywhere." The toothed man recognized the person who shouted, it was actually the deacon monk of Fahua Temple, and hurriedly bowed his head to say hello and inquire about the situation.

"Eh, it turned out to be Lord Chen, your news is too ill-informed."

"Master, don't blame, a few days ago, the wind was tight, and many tooth people had a lawsuit and entered the yamen to play the board."

"The villain was a little scared and hid."

"Master, this little tea is my filial piety to the Buddha." Knowing that he had been behind recently, Yaren hurriedly sent some gifts to the deacon monks of Fahua Temple.

The deacon monk accepted the salute, smiled slightly and said: "A few days ago, Xiangshan Temple reserved military supplies, intending to rebel, and was successfully exterminated by Lord Zhongwu, don't you know about this?" ”

"And this?" The tooth man said with some fear, for fear that he would be captured by Lord Zhongwu in the next moment and eat the board.

"Don't worry, no one is arresting you."

"Lord Zhongwu wants to arrest, that is also to catch a big one, what is the point of arresting you?" The deacon monk of Fahua Temple said disdainfully.

"This Xiangshan Temple was originally a wild fox Zen, and it was not recorded in the Xuanzheng Yuan."

"The presiding abbot saw that it would be a pity if this place was deserted, so he discussed it with Lord Chungmu, bought Xiangshan Temple, repaired it, and made it a branch of Fahua Temple."

"It is said that Master Sanxiu, who has returned from the Light Temple, will become the presiding officer of the branch." The deacon monk of Fahua Temple explained that the tooth man suddenly realized.

"So, how did you recruit more people lately?"

"Even the miser outside Lu Yuanwai spent a lot of money to recruit long-term workers."

"Lord Zhongwu is merciful, and when he saw that so many homeless people had nothing to do, he issued an order to encourage workshops to be opened in various parts of Lingzhou."

"What is the identity of Lord Zhongwu, who dares to disobey his order?"

"It doesn't matter if you lose money or not, you have to recruit people first."

"In addition, Mrs. Huang has made a big deal to buy all the worthless wasteland in Lingzhou, and is ready to spend three or five years to open up all the wasteland into fertile land."

"I don't know how many long-term workers have gone to work for the Chu family, can this salary not rise?"

"Your movements are still too slow, and some people are going to run to the village to pull people." As soon as the deacon monk's words fell, the tooth man had already run away, making him shake his head involuntarily.

"Every donor lined up and let the poor monks pick one."

"Xiangshan Temple was set on fire by King Xu Yan, and now it has to be rebuilt, it is a heavy physical work, and those who have not practiced the "Tuna Law" dare not ask for it." Lingzhou's tooth market is unprecedentedly lively.

There are more and more rumors everywhere.

"It is said that this Chu Zhongwu is the reincarnation of the Dizang Bodhisattva, the reincarnation of the Five Emperors, the Si Ming Xingjun, and the possession of the heavenly phoenix."

"How does it sound like he's more like the God of Wealth?" Countless prayers and legends converged on Chu Qianqiu's body.

"It seems that in two days, I will advance to the gods." Chu Qianqiu felt that his martial appearance was undergoing a transformation, from Si Ming Xingjun to Jizo Bodhisattva, they all opened their eyes, and they were only one foot away.
