Crossing the wasteland: Farming and peasant girls can't be provoked

Chapter 117
Xiao Yilin's carriage can no longer be used.Because the carriages of the palace are regulated, how can he use such a luxurious and unregulated carriage now that he is pretending to be a businessman.They had to let people drive the carriage first and wait for them in front.

And they bought an ordinary very unremarkable carriage, Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi took the carriage, Gu Yu and Feng Zhi rode the horses, and the four went straight to Jiangzhou Fucheng.

From time to time along the way, you can meet disaster victims, most of them are in groups.Looking at the emaciated appearance of the victims, one can tell that each of them has been starving for a long time.

Xiao Yilin and the others had no food at hand and could not help these victims at all.Even some food is a drop in the bucket.If you have good intentions for a while, you may attract the siege of these victims.

So they had no choice but to go to Jiangzhou Fucheng at the fastest speed without doing anything.

Two days later, Xiao Yilin and his party arrived at Jiangzhou Mansion.At this time the city gate was open, but there was a team of officers and soldiers guarding the gate.

Xiao Yilin and the others did not enter the city in a hurry, but observed at the gate of the city.

At this time, many ragged and skinny victims gathered at the gate of the city, but these victims could not enter the city at all.After asking, I found out that everyone who wants to enter the city must pay a fee of [-] yuan to enter the city.If the disaster victims want to settle in the local area, they have to pay two taels of silver for naturalization and resettlement.

These two taels of money are paid for nothing, and the government only arranges a place for the victims of the disaster, and doesn't care about the rest.

And many victims of the disaster did not have so much money at all, not to mention the naturalization fee of two taels of silver, even the fifty cash to enter the city could not afford it.

Even if the victims of disasters pay the entry fee and enter the city without a local household registration certificate, they will be driven out of the city soon.

Xiao Yilin became angrier as he listened to Gu Yu's report, "Come on, let's go into the city and have a look."

At this time, there was a burst of crying and begging at the gate of the city, "Master, please do me a favor. My son has had a high fever for two days. Please do me a favor. Let's go to the city and find a doctor to show the child."

I saw a young couple kneeling in front of the soldiers guarding the city gate, crying and begging.Behind them stood a middle-aged man carrying a little boy who seemed to be sick.

The soldier guarding the gate was very impatient, kicked the couple away, and cursed: "Get lost, you don't have any money to pay the city fee and have money to see a doctor? I think you are trying to opportunistically. If you don't pay the city fee, don't even think about entering the city."

Xiao Yilin and the others were right beside them, looking at the arrogant and domineering officers and soldiers guarding the city gate, they were very angry.

The entry fee for a person is fifty yuan, which is simply taking advantage of the fire.

Xiao Yilin clenched his fist, Jing Yi held him back, afraid that he could not help but expose himself.

Xiao Yilin gave Gu Yu a wink, and Gu Yu nodded and stepped forward and said, "My lord, we have paid the entry fee for these people for them."

As he said that, Gu Yu took out [-] Wen and handed it to the soldiers guarding the city gate.

The soldier counted the copper coins and said to the kneeling couple, "Fortunate for you, go in."

The couple quickly kowtowed to Gu Yu to thank them, and then took the child into the city.

Then Xiao Yilin and the others also paid the entrance fee and entered the city.

Xiao Yilin was dressed as a businessman, so he was not a disaster victim at first glance, so he was let into the city after paying the entrance fee.

Xiao Yilin and Jing Yi entered the city and walked on the street, feeling that the city is quite prosperous, and the hawkers on the street are constantly shouting.There are also many beggars begging along the street.

Jing Yi followed Xiao Yilin and said: "It seems that Jiangzhou Prefecture is not seriously affected by the disaster along the way, and it should be able to resettle those victims."

Xiao Yilin said: "Although the national treasury is empty, it is not impossible to get some money out. The imperial court has allocated funds for disaster relief, but there are still so many victims fleeing famine. It is conceivable that the situation is very bad. It is not certain how much the relief funds can be used on the victims. .

Other state capitals that were not affected by the disaster could accept some of the victims, and the imperial court would also provide certain subsidies. It seems that these corrupt officials not only did not spend the funds allocated by the imperial court on the victims, but also searched for another layer from the victims.Damn it. "

Jing Yi said: "Then we have to find evidence of their corruption and the search for people's anointing."

Xiao Yilin said: "They must have ledgers. As long as they find the ledgers, everything will be well-founded."

Jing Yi nodded and said, "Then let's go find the ledger. If it doesn't work, just steal the ledger. It's just that it's hard to find the ledger."

Xiao Yilin looked around, saw an inn not far away and said, "Let's find an inn to settle down first, and then I will take Gu Yu to visit the mansion of the governor of Jiangzhou at night."

Jing Yi nodded, "That's it."

The four of Xiao Yilin found an inn and told the shopkeeper that they wanted to stay.

The shopkeeper looked at Xiao Yilin and the four of them and said, "I'm objective, we only have one room in the store. But there are still a few beds in the Datong shop. If you don't hurry up and book this room, maybe you can wait a while." No more. How do you see the arrangement?"

Gu Yu said: "Shopkeeper, why are the rooms in the inn so tight?"

The shopkeeper said: "Hey, it's not caused by the victims fleeing the famine. The victims with some money have to live in hotels after spending money to enter the city. After the naturalization is completed, they will be arranged where they will go to rent a house. So Now several inns in the whole city are almost full.”

Xiao Yilin said: "Give me a room first, and then two bunks from Chase Shop."

Soon Xiao Yilin and the others were led to the only room left by the waiter.

The room is very small, just a bed, a table and two stools.

After Xiao Er left, Xiao Yilin said: "Gu Yu, I'll rest here with Jing Yan first, and you and Feng Zhi can go to other inns in the city to have a look. If there are spare rooms, we can reserve three, and then we can change places. live. If there is really no room, I can only live here."

Gu Yu and Feng Zhi hurried out to find a room in another inn.

Xiao Yilin called Xiao Er to order some dishes.Whether it's delicious or not, fill your stomach first.

The two lost their appetite after a few bites.

Xiao Yilin frowned and said, "This food is too unpalatable."

Jing Yi smiled and said, "There's no other way, you can only make do with it outside. I'll make delicious food for you when you get to the capital."

Xiao Yilin laughed and said, "As long as it's with Jing Yan, I don't care about the bad food."

Jing Yi was shaken by the tenderness in Xiao Yilin's eyes and quickly lowered her head, her earlobes turned red and her face felt hot.

Jing Yi's heart beat faster, scolding herself in her heart, isn't he just a handsome man, why is he so lacking in concentration.No, she has to look less at Xiao Yilin's handsome face in the future, and not be fascinated by Xiao Yilin.

Xiao Yilin saw a smile flashing in the eyes of the little girl who was eating like a quail without saying a word and lowering her head. She used the serving chopsticks to pick up some food for the little girl opposite and said, "If the food is not delicious, you have to eat some. You are already enough." If you lose weight, don’t lose weight from starvation.”
