Gu Qi, she just wants to farm

Chapter 255 Lushan County (4)

In addition, there are two open spaces on each side, about three feet in length and width. At a rough glance, it is fairly clean, and it can be seen that it is indeed the result of someone coming to take care of it from time to time. The middle-aged man Not deceiving.

"How about it, this house is not bad. My wife and brother used to do small business in the county, and they have some family assets, so the yard is well tidied up.

You see, the ground is paved with rough stone slabs, and there is no mud when you walk on rainy days.Also, the two ends of the front yard are spacious enough to store a lot of things.

Didn’t you bring carriages and horses, and you just stop here, and you have more than enough rubbing, which is more comfortable than staying in an inn. "

The middle-aged man introduced it with some complacency, but after he finished speaking, he saw that Gu Qi only had a slight smile on his face all the time, and he had no intention of talking to him at all, and he couldn't tell whether he was satisfied or dissatisfied. satisfy.

The middle-aged man smiled awkwardly, and insisted on continuing to walk while introducing: "There are two rooms on each side of the front yard, the left one is the kitchen and storage, and the right one is the anteroom and firewood room.

You park the carriage in the front yard first, and then we will go to the inner yard to have a look. "

Gu Qi nodded, Shun Zi understood and parked the carriage together with Jiang Ping, and then greeted inside the carriage.

Soon, seven or eight tall and strong men jumped out of the carriage one after another. The middle-aged man's expression froze:
"You you!"

He originally thought that the people sitting in the carriage should be the young man's family members, even if they weren't necessarily like a flowery guest, they were at most old mothers and maids.

Who would have thought that when they jumped down, they would be full of burly young men with murderous looks. This posture, could it be that bandits have entered the city?
Shunzi was good at observing words and expressions, and from the look of the middle-aged man in the room, he knew that he was thinking wildly, so he explained with a smile:
"These are the guards of my young master's family.

My young master's family is young, and it's the first time to travel far, so the master was worried and asked to bring more.There was a sudden heavy rain ahead, and the coir raincoats I brought were not enough, so I hid in the car to avoid it. "

"It should be. It should be." The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

It is true that such a fair and young young man travels far away alone, and there are some worries at home.

The inner courtyard is more spacious than Gu Qi expected, with a total of five rooms, the front is the main room with the living room, and another side room.There are two wing rooms on the left and right sides.Several rooms are not small.The top is used by ordinary people.

This house is much better than Gu Qi expected, and the building materials are solid everywhere, even though it has been vacant for a year, now it seems that there is no need for any additional repairs.

In addition, the furniture in each house is almost brand new, except for the soft bedding, everything else is ready-made.

The middle-aged man pointed to the furniture in the main room and said: "Actually, this house was just completed three years ago. My wife and brother's family also spent a lot of thought on building this house, so I specifically found the number one in Lushan County Pai. A good craftsman spent a lot of money on materials alone.

It's just that I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, but they moved out after two years of living.

My mother-in-law is really distressed that no one lives in this good house, and it would be a pity if it is really deserted, so she comes to clean it from time to time, thinking that if the wife and brother family want to come back in the future, they can live in a ready-made house. "

"Then why don't you move here by yourself, I see that the house is much more spacious than the house your family lives in now." Shunzi asked curiously.

The middle-aged man smiled and shook his head: "My house is also quite good. I have a small family and it is enough to live in. Besides, no matter how good other people's houses are, they belong to others. How can I feel comfortable living in my own house.

By the way, there is a backyard beyond the corridor, let me take you to see it? "

"Then let's go and have a look. You may have to stay in Lushan County for a few more days." Gu Qi said.

"That's a good relationship." The middle-aged man was amused, and couldn't help asking: "What is the young master doing in Lushan County?"

"Looking for relatives. By the way, I am also planning to do some business." Gu Qidao.

"Doing business?"

The middle-aged man was a little surprised: "To tell you the truth, my young master, we probably don't have much business to do in Lushan County right now.

I think you also saw it on the way into the city. The shops on the road are closed, and all the businesses have run away as early as a year ago.

Nowadays, there are still places where you can do business in the entire Lushan County, probably the stalls on the side of Liuhang Street, all of which are set up by the pedestrians.There used to be a square market there, but after the square market collapsed, it was taken over by the Pedestrians.

Right now, the official yamen can't produce rice and grain, and the grain shops in the city have long been empty, and the stalls in the foot gang can still buy rations at a high price.

If you want to buy rations later, everyone, go to Liuhang Street to have a look.

By the way, if you want to buy clean well water, you can also go to Liuhang Street. There are several wells there that are still producing water, and now they are also controlled by the walking foot gang, and they cost [-] cents a barrel.

However, with such a heavy rain today, the young master will not spend much time looking for things to pick up later, so there is no need to waste money there. "
-
"The wells in Lushan County that still produce water in the city are not under the control of the government. How could they fall into the hands of the Pedestrians?" Shunzi was a little surprised.

"The government also controls it, but it's not here. It's in the north of the city. The government office is in the north of the city. There are also several wells controlled by the government.

All the people with Lushan county city registration can go to the official's house every two days to get a bucket of water by virtue of their household registration.Today happened to be the day to receive water, and my mother-in-law went to queue early.

A few of them are foreign merchants without household registration, and it costs money to go to the official's house. It is also [-] Wen a barrel, and it takes two hours to go back and forth, which is really not worthwhile.

It's better to go to Liuxing Street Pingjiao Gang to exchange it more conveniently.Liu Xingjie went out from our place, just turned two streets and arrived, it didn't take much effort. "

"The lord of your county government in Lushan County is quite generous, but in these days, you have given the control of several wells to the Pedestrians for nothing.

A bucket of water costs [-] Wen. If anyone doesn’t use water, how much money will they earn in a whole day like this? "Jiang Ping asked curiously.

The middle-aged man waved his hand and explained: "Your Excellency the county government can't do anything about it.

The granary of the officials in the county city was empty a year ago, and now even the government can't produce a morsel of rice, let alone the rice shops and grain shops have been moved to nothing.

If it weren't for the pedestrians who can deliver so much food from time to time, the people in the entire Lushan County would starve to death.

Don't look at the people from the Pedestrian Gang who have raised the price of rice by more than ten times, but they still don't want to come because of this. It is said that the adults of the county government asked someone to contact them privately and begged for it.

The location of Liuhang Street and several wells near Liuhang Street were also given to Xingjiao Gang for this reason. After all, the middle-aged man couldn't help but sighed.

I don't know if it's for myself or for that pitiful-sounding county man.

"How do you know that this is not a private collusion between your county man and the pedestrians?" Jiang Ping couldn't help asking.
