Chapter 356 flickered vigorously
"Childe's words are true, there is really such a good place in the world."
When the old village chief heard this, he excitedly stepped forward to grab Ziyu's hand and ask in detail, but was stopped by a bowl that suddenly stretched out.
"Sit down, don't touch my daughter-in-law!" Li Bai said angrily.
If it weren't for Ziyu's liking to fool people, he wouldn't have bothered to care how these people lived.
"Huh?
Son...... Madam? ”
With a single sentence, the people who stayed in the inn couldn't be rectified, and the noble son in front of him was obviously a man, so how could he become a lady again.
"Hahaha, it's convenient to walk when you're out of the house!
I'm telling the truth, my husband and wife have been walking the rivers and lakes for many years, and we have been to most places on this continent.
At the moment, the situation is divided, and the best place to do this is Great Summer Bay.
As long as the people who go are diligent and willing to work, they will not worry about not having enough to eat.
Moreover, before spring ploughing this year, the land will be divided free of charge, and taxes will be exempted for three years.
The soldiers all volunteered, and their families were given preferential treatment, not to mention that they had money to get, and many people volunteered to sign up.
For the elderly like the old village chief, sugar, meat and a tael of silver are given during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the New Year, saying that it is an activity to care for the elderly. ”
Ziyu pressed Libai's hand and shook her head at him.
Although these people are poor, they are much better than the coolies in the mountains, and at least they still have a heart to live.
It's not that he waits for everything to be sent to him, but he doesn't have the heart to fight at all.
…
"This ...... This...... That's great, too!
My old man has lived for fifty-eight years, and I have never heard of such a good place. ”
The old village chief suddenly thought that the youngest son also went to Daxia Bay, but because he was too far away, he couldn't pass the news to them for a while.
"Madam, there are a total of 180 people in our village, all of whom are from the same surname.
There are many young and old, and there are only thirty-two young and middle-aged people, will they accept them? ”
"Collect, I think they will take it as long as they are not great treacherous and evildoers, and even the real beggars are distributed to the fields.
Like the kind of little beggars who have no adults, some are adopted, and some are a family of several older children.
The village where they lived was still repaired to repair houses, and there was not a single beggar left in the whole Daxia Bay.
Like now, when the green and yellow are not accepted, there are many working opportunities in Daxiawan, as long as you don't cheat and cheat.
A strong laborer can earn a liter of wheat a day and twenty copper coins. ”
People who play a three-inch incorruptible tongue are telling the truth, and of course they are more convincing.
…
"Oh my God! A liter of wheat!
Our family has never eaten a liter of wheat during the Chinese New Year, so isn't that a fairy-like day. ”
"Your family can still see wheat during the New Year, but my family has paid the tax, and all that is left is a small half basket of shriveled wheat.
I didn't dare to eat it like that, so I had to grind it into flour and exchange it for coarse grains. ”
"Go!"
"Childe, I want to go to my house too!"
When the old shopkeeper heard this, he didn't even want his own inn anymore, so he was busy expressing his heart.
There are a total of eight people in his family, and according to what your lady said, one person has two acres of land and one acre of land, and that cannot be divided into twenty-four acres.
He will still calculate this account, and thinking about it makes him drool, which is the field that he has not been able to earn by opening an inn all his life.
There are so many fields to plant, who still runs an inn!
If you let the youngest son eat official food, wouldn't there be a backer and a land, and it would be so beautiful to think about that day.
Ziyu saw that she was almost fanning the wind, so she quietly said it.
"It's okay to go, but you can't leak the news, lest the fat man just now know.
No one can leave, so don't say I won't help you. ”
"I understand, I understand!"
"Your lady, when will we leave, we can go back and prepare." The sober-minded old village chief asked the most crucial words.
"In the early hours of the morning two days later, travel as light as possible.
Don't bring any jars or jars, just clothes, food, and farm tools for self-defense.
Another point, don't call me Madame, it's inconvenient on the road. ”
"Okay, let's go back and get ready now!"
A lot of people are now eating broth, and it's a big deal for a big family to move, not that they can leave.
Who doesn't have three relatives and six relatives, but it can be said that the surrounding villages are all related to each other, and this walk is a lifelong thing.
"Go, go, go! Our husband and wife just happened to drop by and give you a ride. Ziyu waved generously.
She looks like a great good man who does good deeds, but she doesn't know that this is her calculation.
Ziyu's original plan was to bring a group of captives back, but she couldn't find a suitable place for a while, and it was easy to alarm the government.
Coupled with the batch of coolies in the cottage, she was too disappointed, so she stopped her original thoughts.
…
When night fell, villagers came from all directions, all holding a thick bowl in their hands.
Ziyu, who was standing at the door of the inn, initially estimated that there were nearly a thousand people, which was really unexpected to her.
Unexpectedly, there were so many people hiding in this poor and remote place, she thought that there were five or six hundred people.
Because based on the population casualties in the southern country, less than 40% of a village survived after the disaster, which shows how high the mortality rate is.
As a result, a lot of land is uncultivated, and there is no need to pay taxes if it is wasted, and once the land is broken, it faces huge taxes.
The undivided land in Daxia Bay was all cultivated by the local garrison, which could be regarded as a part of their own rations.
…
Seeing that the people who came exceeded expectations, the prepared broth and steamed buns were definitely not enough, and the sweaty old shopkeeper stepped forward to discuss with Ziyu what to do.
"Only add more water, and then add steamed buns to the water to cook the paste, so that everyone can taste it."
"Childe, let's each bring a handful of dishes."
The old village chief, who had returned home, had changed into a clean patched shirt and combed his hair well.
"Okay, the old village chief and the old shopkeeper will share the soup with everyone, and it is a thought that there are not many things."
Ziyu responded generously, except for a few people who knew that she was a woman, no one could tell her gender.
The face of the sleeping in the open is no longer fair and pink, and his speech and movements are undoubtedly the same as those of the man walking outside.
By the time a large group of people ate the broth, it was already an hour later, and the broth sent to the townman's house had long been forgotten outside the clouds.
Because at this time, the town official was being beaten on the widow's kang by two tigresses at home, how could he think of any broth.
Pi Erqi, who was mixed in the crowd, got a new task and disappeared into the night.
…
In the calm town of Yanxi, life has to be the same when the sun rises, but there is no more beggar on the street.
Even the more than 20 beggars who live in the Land Temple are busy looking for wild vegetables, scalding wild vegetables, weaving straw shoes, and carrying baskets.
Ping Shilan's calloused hands rubbed the straw rope quickly, and a wistful smile appeared on her face from time to time.
"Mother, when we get there, we will have a good life, and Dad's leg can be treated by a doctor.
When I earn money, I will send my younger brother to private school, if only the eldest brother and the second brother were still alive. ”
As she spoke, Ping Shilan lowered her head and shed a line of tears.
She missed her eldest brother and second brother so much, if she had them in the family, she wouldn't have to flee everywhere.
