After a round of work, many people had either big meat buns, vegetable buns or white flour steamed buns in their hands. Even worse, they also drank a penny porridge, but there were still many people who kept swallowing their saliva. , looking at those eating from a distance, with envy in their eyes.

Some children were so greedy that they cried so much that the adults couldn't hold them down at all. Some children broke free from the restraints of adults and rushed to the bun shop. They looked eagerly at the steaming buns in the steamer and stretched out their hands to want them. take.

"Didn't I just give you two taels of silver? There are more than 100 people here who don't have anything to eat. Let's replace them with steamed buns. Don't let them suffer. After finally entering the city, they still have to go hungry. But Then again, let alone your big meat buns, they taste really good. This is the most delicious bun I have ever eaten since I traveled around the world!"

"Really, thank you for the compliment, guest! You are really a kind person. You will come again tomorrow and there will be several new flavors of steamed buns. Then I will replace them with steamed buns and distribute them to everyone. That's it. Everyone can also eat a few more steamed buns.”

The man took another bite of the big meat bun, nodded vaguely, and walked towards the street, leaving a bunch of grateful people behind him.

"This man who travels around the world is also kind-hearted. I originally thought that if the people here can't afford it, I will help them today. But it seems that there are people doing good things for us, so we don't need to break this rule."

"That's right. Otherwise, if I have something to give you today, they will look forward to it every day in the future. That's fine. Dad, let's go to the inn and have a look."

When the father and daughter arrived at the inn, many rooms on the second floor were already lit with lights.

The night was illuminated by weak lights, and Luocheng had a different night scene.

Outside the inn, some people in tattered clothes stood at the door with sad expressions on their faces.

"Don't you have enough money to stay in an inn?"

Yu Junjie went up and asked directly, although he knew that he was pretending to be confused.

"Yes, I heard in this inn that one person in Tongpu can earn twenty cents a night. I, how can we have so much money on us? If I had known better, I wouldn't have entered the city. At least there are weeds outside the city to grow for warmth. After entering the city, we have to spend money everywhere, and we are planning to leave the city immediately."

An elderly man, still wearing a tattered prison uniform, was followed by two young men and two teenage children.

Like them, there are many people wearing prison uniforms as a family unit. They seem to be planning to leave the city again just like the old man.

"Uncle, I am the city lord of Luocheng. I see that it is not easy for you to get here. If you go out, you will only have food and sleep in the open, and you can't even buy food. Although you can hunt, there are almost no wild animals in the outer city. , let’s do this, we have many private houses in Luocheng, I can rent them to you, and your children can find a job in Luocheng in the future. Wouldn’t this solve the life problem?”

"Really? Are you really the city lord? You, you really have a house to rent to us, and I, can we still find work?"

Yu Junjie nodded with a smile, scanning the surprised faces of the group of people one by one, and returned his eyes to the old man's face again.

"Of course, there are private houses with courtyards and single rooms, and the price is not too expensive. I'll ask someone to take you to see it. After all, it will snow in this wild land in two months. If you continue to wander before, it will not only be dangerous, but you may not be able to survive this winter."

"Yes, yes! City Lord, you are such a good person! Dozens of our family members were exiled, and now only five of us, our grandfather and grandson, are left. We still have two taels of silver with us, but I don't know if we have enough to rent you. House? Before that, I heard those people say that things in this wild city are very expensive!"

"That's enough, that's enough. A single room only costs [-] coins a month. With the remaining money, you can buy some food. When your young people find work, they won't have to worry about life anymore. Even if they are exiled, this will be enough." I can survive here.”

Yu Junjie looked at the old man's old face and burst into tears to comfort him.

Knowing that the rental houses in this city are so cheap, people who can't afford to live in an inn and have a few dollars on their backs all see hope!And after this group of people who want to rent a house leave, the remaining people will be penniless.

Not to mention renting a house, even having enough to eat is a problem.

"You, are you really the city lord?"

A young man bravely walked up to Yu Junjie and asked in a weak voice.

The man's thin clothes were wrapped tightly around his body, and the cold wind at night made his body shiver.

"Yes, aren't you going to rent a house?"

Yu Junjie had actually guessed why these people were still lingering outside the inn, but he deliberately didn't do good things as soon as he came up, and he didn't want to be a bad guy.

"I, we don't have money. City Lord, can you let us stay here first? Xiao, Xiao, I think your city is brand new. After we live in, we will find work. After we receive the monthly payment, we will rent the house to City Lord, please make up for it."

"Your calculation is quite good, but why should we believe that you will repay it?"

Yu Luo spoke coldly. When the trembling man heard the pleasant voice, he couldn't help but look towards Yu Luo and saw a beautiful little face.

When he saw that it was a woman, standing next to the city lord, the man was so frightened that he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Yu Luo's little face.

"The younger ones, the younger ones can write IOUs, or work for the city lord to pay the rent. The younger ones just want to have a roof over their heads with their families, and just have one meal to eat every day."

"A meal is really enough for us in this cold weather?"

Looking at this man's reaction, Yu Luo was definitely interesting, and she couldn't help but joke about it.

"Enough, that's enough. During these days when we're here, sometimes when we can't catch prey, it's normal to go without food for two or three days. One meal a day is enough for us!"

"Dad, if this is the case, then they will be so hungry that they have no strength to work? Forget it, let's advance them some food in advance, and then deduct it from their monthly payment when they receive it."

"Ah? Xiao, miss, do you agree?!"

Looking at the man and the expectant family members behind him, Yu Haojie nodded, "Let's go, I will take you there myself, but you must remember that after you get the monthly payment, you are not allowed to default on your debts for any reason. The city lord’s rent.”

"Thank you City Lord! Thank you Miss! We won't, we definitely won't!"

When the man saw this, he knelt down in front of the father and daughter in excitement, and kowtowed to them repeatedly to ensure that they would do it! (End of chapter)
