The open life of peasant girl kapok

Chapter 797
Having to say what the bearded man had to say made Shen Kapok very curious.

If this is the case, then the words of the emperor's cronies are somewhat credible, no wonder the north urged him to pay the money once in ten and a half months.

"Just fix it, what's so scary about it? It won't fall again, will it?"

The thin-faced man didn't care.

"Hey, don't tell me, the people in Yancheng are worried about this. They all say that place is unlucky, and some people say that the city wall fell down, and it was a punishment from heaven, so they can't recruit people to repair the city wall, no matter how much money they give. The locals don't go."

The bearded man continued, "You have to know that the people who built the northern city wall earlier were all prisoners on death row in their cells. I heard that almost all the prisoners on death row have been sent away, but there are not enough people and we have to recruit them. The trick in Yancheng If there are not enough people, the government of Yancheng will make an agreement with the emperor to recruit people from other places."

As soon as the news came out, everyone felt a little bad.

Recruiting people from other places means that they are all likely to be recruited.

When I said it, I didn't think Yancheng was terrible, but once I went there, I felt like a hell that took people's lives.

Shen Mumian listened for a while and stopped listening. At noon, Shen Lanfeng and Hu Er came back with many packages.

"I bought them all."

"You bought everything you wanted to buy, and some you didn't want to buy."

Shen Lanfeng put the package on the table and rubbed his hands.

"You should wear gloves when you go out." Shen Mumian stepped forward to hold his hand, warming him with his own.

As a single dog, Hu Er suddenly felt dazzling.

Bullying him is lonely, right?

"My lord, I don't have anything to tell my subordinates to go out first." He didn't want to be an eyesore here.

"Go ahead."

When he went out, Shen Lanfeng took Shen Mumian to open the package, "Daughter-in-law, I saw some good leather, and I will make you a big coat when I go home."

"Ah, this leather is really good." The fur is snow white and shiny, and there is a rare red fox's fur, which is fiery red.

Shen Mumian took it and said, "Take this back to make jackets for the children. The red New Year's clothes must be festive and beautiful."

"Use this for them, and wear this one for you."

Shen Mumian saw that the one he was pointing to was still gray, and shook his head immediately, "What kind of gray do children wear? It's so ugly. And if you really use this to make them, the leopard can just throw the clothes away. Then pinch your waist with both hands and ask if you are your real father."

Thinking of his youngest son, Shen Lanfeng couldn't help laughing.

"Stinky boy!"

Shen Mumian put a few pieces of fur back into the package, thinking of what he heard downstairs, he talked to Shen Lanfeng.

"How much truth do you say this is true?"

"It's hard to say, I guess the city wall should be real, but it's definitely not as mysterious as that person said. So, go back and write a letter to ask Li Chenxuan, he should know."

"Alright, I heard the news that people are panicking. If they really recruit people from other places to repair the city wall, they will definitely not recruit from only one mansion. I am afraid that no mansion can escape. Who would want to go to such a place? If you go there, you might not come back.”

It's not that the city walls were never built in the ancient times of later generations, and countless people died because of the thousands of miles of city walls.

And I'm afraid that the city wall is not the main thing, I'm afraid that those foremen will squeeze people in order to catch up with the progress. After all, the emperor is far away from the mountain, and they have to do some tricks inside, such as cutting food and drinking, beating or scolding, working day and night, until At that time, if he was not crushed to death, he would be tortured to death.
