Reborn Nongmen's little lucky wife

Chapter 63

When a few families heard that someone outside had rebelled, they were very scared. They were all honest farmers. Even though they had suffered so much because they escaped from the famine, they never thought of rebelling.

"Why is this messed up? What can I do?" The third grandmother's hands are shaking. She has lived her whole life, but she doesn't want to encounter such a thing when she is about to get old. She will be afraid and worried about her daughter. A family will encounter rebels on the way to escape.

"It's long overdue for chaos." Qin Erlang sneered: "The emperor does not provide disaster relief. The officials of the prefectures along the way only want to protect themselves and keep the disaster victims outside the city. Such a court should have long been..."

"Erlang, shut up, can you say this?!" Qin Lao reprimanded Qin Erlang and didn't let him continue. If his words were spoken, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

Qin Erlang had an angry look on his face, obviously unconvinced, but he didn't scold anymore after all.

Gu Jinli also thinks that the emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty is very strange. This year is the sixth year of Jingyuan of Great Chu.

This Emperor Jing Yuan is only the third emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. He should have been brought up by the strict education of the founding emperor, and the mud on his legs has not been cleaned. That's right.

But Emperor Jing Yuan was just so stupid that he made the great Chu Dynasty precarious.

Gu Jinli didn't know that the reason why Emperor Jing Yuan didn't do his best to relieve the disaster was because he wanted to take the opportunity to replace all the generals of the Northwest Frontier Army with his own people, but he was too eager, and the Northwest Frontier Army followed the orders of Duke Wei's family more and more, and the trouble is now. , He just beheaded the Duke of Wei's family, but he did not take the Northwest Frontier Army into his pocket. The Northwest Frontier Army was in a mess, and the people were angry and rebels appeared everywhere.

"Brother Qin, have you heard how the government intends to resettle us? Did you talk about opening a warehouse for disaster relief, or letting us settle down?" No matter what the third grandpa is doing outside, he only cares about their resettlement: "This is all It's almost New Year's, it's freezing to death, the government doesn't let us go to Jiangnan and traps us here, we must give an explanation."

Qin Saburo shook his head: "There is no news that the government will resettle the victims in the city."

Old Qin comforted the third grandfather: "Brother Gu, don't worry, the officials are most afraid of the disaster victims' rebellion, and they dare not not settle. Let's wait a few more days. Before the yamen seals the Chinese New Year, the government will definitely give us an explanation."

Now it's impossible not to explain it. There are too many victims, tens of thousands. If so many victims are not resettled, and they are not allowed to continue south, an accident will definitely happen.

Old Qin guessed right. Two days later, a team of guards wearing armor, holding a long spear and a broadsword across their waists escorted a clerk from the government office to the suburbs.

The clerk was quite young, looking only in his twenties, when he came to the grass hut in the suburbs, he let the yamen sound the gong to lead the victims out.

After all the victims came out, the scribe took out a volume of documents and read it aloud, but what he read was the official elegant language, which many victims could not understand, so they asked the scribe: "Sir, what are you reading? ?"

The scribe paused, and repeated the contents of the document in vernacular: "The court is gracious, and the prefect is ordered to open a warehouse for disaster relief. From tomorrow, all victims of the disaster can rely on their household registration to go to the city gate to receive food and keep out the cold. clothes."

When the disaster victims heard this, they were stunned for a while and cheered. They finally waited until the government opened the warehouse for disaster relief.

However, some victims lost their household registration on the way to flee the famine. At this time, they were very anxious and asked the clerk: "Sir, if...if I don't have household registration, can I receive food and clothing?"

The clerk shook his head: "No, those who do not have household registration are all refugees and are not included in the government's disaster relief."

When the victims who lost their household registrations heard this, they immediately burst into tears: "Hey, the government is trying to kill us. We are looking forward to the government's disaster relief, so why don't we save us? Why not save us?! "

There were many victims who lost their household registrations. Seeing that the government did not have their share of disaster relief, they all quit, crying and asking the scribe to give an explanation.

The clerk had never seen such a battle, his feet were weak, the guards hurriedly surrounded him, pointed their spears at the victims, and scolded: "Everyone retreat, whoever dares to make trouble, shoot for nothing!"

The victims were all ordinary people. They were very afraid of officers and soldiers. When they saw those dazzling spears, they were too frightened to move forward, and only wept with tears.

This scribe is a good person. Seeing that the victims were crying so miserably, he gave them a message: "Your prefect knows your difficulties, and the prefect is negotiating with Tongzhi. If you don't have a household registration, you only need to find a relative. Those who are acquainted with the joint name to make sure that they are not fugitive slaves or fugitives can use money to get a new household registration."

When the victims heard the words, their eyes lit up, but when they heard that money was required for the household registration, their faces became sad again: "Sir, how much money do I need to get the new household registration? We fled the famine all the way, but we have nothing left."

Even if there was money in the past, it would have been used to buy food, water, salt, and clothing to keep out the cold. Now there are only a handful of people who still have money.

The clerk said: "Several adults are still in the negotiation stage. I don't know how much money it will take to get a new household registration."

In the last years of the previous dynasty, there were scuffles in various places, and many household registrations were in chaos. After the establishment of the Great Chu Dynasty, the management of household registration was extremely strict. There are laws expressly stipulated that those without household registration will be sentenced to refugees and can buy and sell at will.

Now that there are too many victims, the prefect can let the victims buy new household registration with money, which is already a great grace, and these victims should be content.

The clerk was afraid that the victims would be agitated and hurt themselves. After saying this, he immediately left with the yamen and guards.

With this order, it can be said that some people are happy and some are sad, and the disaster victims with household registration are naturally happy, waiting to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to collect disaster relief materials.

Those who did not have household registration were crying, and after crying, they hurriedly sought out acquaintances for joint security, and then collected money everywhere.

But the victims are all poor, where is the money so easy to collect?

The Yaxing in Fucheng had already sent people Yazi to watch the group of victims in the suburbs. When they saw that they were worried about money, they immediately approached the victims and asked for money to buy their children.

In desperation, the victims had no choice but to sell their sons and daughters. In less than an afternoon, Ren Yazi bought quite a few girls and half-year-old children, all at extremely low prices.

Gu Dashan and Cui Shi saw those people who sold their sons and daughters, and they were very fortunate that Gu Jinli saved the life of the young master of Qi Mansion and received the reward from the eldest young master of Qi Mansion.Otherwise, their family still doesn't know how to survive.

The third grandmother saw so many people selling their children, and even said that she was doing something wrong, but she didn't have much money left in her family, and she couldn't help others if she wanted to, so she could only take care of her own family.

Qin Guluotian's family has household registration. Early the next morning, the men from several families took a boy of their own to the city gate to collect food and clothes to keep out the cold.
