The story of the struggle of the poor girl who crossed

Chapter 92 New Surprise
Sure enough, after the plague, he was reprimanded by the emperor.And, with a transfer order, he was transferred away.Although the position is still the county magistrate, but it is the county magistrate of the barren land in the northeast.Starting from Qinghe County and headed to the northeast, if there were not a dozen bodyguards with extraordinary hands, the safety of this journey would be worrying!
With apprehension, he had no choice but to embark on the journey to the Northeast to take office.The two long-term followers recruited before did not follow him this time.The northeast is so far away, the road is so dangerous, and there is no high salary.The most important thing is that the relationship between Mr. Li and Hua Yangfan seems to be bad, and he seems to have offended the Commander of Jin Yiwei. Unless he is a fool, he will follow.

What good will happen to the person who is targeted by the Commander of Jin Yiwei?

Liangjiaao, now there are only more than 20 people and twelve families left.

Every family is ruined.

There is only one agate in Liang Gaogao's family who is still alive.Peng and her most beloved youngest son also passed away in this catastrophe.

After the plague passed, the surviving families all took their grievances on Liang Zhenzhu.Everyone in the world said that Liang Gaokao's family was a disaster, a broom star, and a disaster star.At the beginning, if Mrs. Peng hadn't lobbied everyone to put their fields in Liang Gaogao's house, perhaps if he hadn't lobbied and lured everyone to do long-term jobs for Liang Gaokao's family, everyone would have gone to the Northwest when they immigrated!

If you go to the northwest, everyone can escape the disaster of the plague!Just because they didn't go, every family that stayed was ruined.

It's better for poor people, those powerful and rich people got a large group of people and rushed into Liang Gaokao's house.They smashed and robbed, and the house was turned into a mess.Everyone forced Liang Zhenzhu to go to the yamen to change the title deed and return everyone's land to everyone.

Liang Agate was so frightened that she had no choice but to follow everyone to the Yamen and return the fields to everyone one by one.In addition, each family was compensated 100 taels of silver.

So far, except for the original 20 mu of land, the family is almost destitute.Fortunately, when she realized something was wrong, she buried a bag of gold and silver jewelry under the tree in the courtyard, and the remaining 50 taels were all silver.Otherwise, they will definitely be searched by everyone.

Looking at the empty home, not even a single chair was left, she couldn't help but sat on the stone slab in the courtyard, sobbing and crying.

I wrote a letter to Shandong to ask my father and elder brother for help, but more than a month later, there was still no reply.It was as if the letter had been lost in the sea.She had no choice but to go to a man named Maoshan from the next village: "Brother Maoshan, are you willing to step in and be my door-to-door husband?"

Maoshan is 20 years old this year. Because of his poor family, he doesn't even have a daughter-in-law.Now, Qinghe County is empty, and his parents are gone.Only the eldest brother and sister-in-law are left in the family with a nephew.Even if he has money, he has no land to marry a wife.Liang Agate took the initiative to find him, so he would refuse, so naturally he responded repeatedly: "I am willing, I am very willing! Today, I can move here!"

The eldest brother and sister-in-law beat him or scolded him. He really couldn't survive this kind of life.Although Liang Agate's character is not very good, but she looks pretty good, and she is not a big evil person.It is always a good thing to have a daughter-in-law who can carry on the family line for oneself!Today, although the Manao family is not as good as before, it still has a big house with green bricks and tiles, and there are more than 20 mu of land.

Moreover, he also believes that the agate must have kept a hand, and it must be somewhere to buy gold and silver jewelry.In this case, his life with Agate will not be too sad in the future.

There was a little blush on Liang Agate's face: "This year, I am only 12 years old. When I turn 15 years old, we will consummate the house. How about this, do you think?"

Maoshan: "I think it's ok, so let's do it! You are still young, consummating the house too early, if you have a child, it will be easy to have a difficult delivery." There is nothing to be afraid of if you don't consummate the house, as long as you can sleep with her, with the nature of agate , will definitely not marry someone else.

Unlike her older sister, Manao is a well-behaved person.Three years, don't you just wait for three years?Three years, he can still afford to wait.

Everyone in the nearby villages knows this saying, and it comes from Maixiang.Many people have heard this saying in their hearts.Since then, there are not many people under the age of 15 who get married in these ten miles and eight villages.

Liang Senior High School in Shandong Province did not know that his youngest daughter had hired a long-term worker as her husband.He didn't know that the yellow-faced wife he wanted to get rid of with all his heart, and his beloved young son, had all been killed by the plague.

In Shandong, Liang Jieyuan did well. Relying on his talent and ability to deal with people, he quickly gained a firm foothold in that small county.After gaining a firm foothold, the first thing Liang Gaokao did was to marry his eldest daughter Pearl to a rich businessman, so as to increase his son's capital as an official.

The letter that Agate sent to him had long been lost on the road.

Before the freezing, all immigrant villages in the Lushan area built new houses.The immigrants all settled down, lived in new houses, and bought enough food for the winter.

The money that Mai Xiang lent everyone not only built a simple farm yard, but also bought a lot of food.Although these grains can only be eaten until the beginning of spring, everyone is also very happy.

Don't be afraid, when spring comes, you can dig wild vegetables, plant vegetables and fruits, and go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and wild fruits.In short, as long as you survive the winter, you can talk about anything.

At that time, if you really can't make it through, you can go to General Liang to borrow some more money or food.In short, everyone has a ray of sunshine and a ray of hope in their hearts.It is not as hopeless and helpless as when I first arrived in the northwest.

Mai Xiang didn't know that those villagers put their hopes on her. Since the people in the village had houses and food for the winter, the big stone in her heart was finally let go.

After all, everyone is from Qinghe County. If she saw a large number of people in a village, a large number of people died of starvation and people died of freezing, she would definitely feel very sad.

After settling down the folks, she devoted herself to the research of armor again.

Soon, she brought Zhao Yan a new surprise.

Mai Xiang and the people in the gun shop made a leather armor together.

This leather armor, with a breastplate, is also on the back.He also wears goggles on his knees.The whole leather armor weighs less than fifteen kilograms, but its protective ability is not bad.Mai Xiang did an experiment, hanging the leather armor on a tree and shooting with a crossbow with ten bursts, but it failed to penetrate.

However, if you use an ax to cut it, you can still cut it.

Mai Xiang was not satisfied, but Zhao Yan was happy: "Yes, this is already very good! The weight of more than ten catties is really a big improvement compared to the armor that weighed more than a hundred catties!" At last The key point is that the cost of this leather armor is much cheaper and can be manufactured in large quantities.

Mai Xiang: "However, this kind of armor can't hide from the machetes used by strong men." The machetes used by people with weak strength can still withstand them.

Zhao Yan: "This is already very good. It protects the heart and the back. This is very good! This kind of leather armor can be produced in large quantities and used by ordinary soldiers."

Mai Xiang: "Well, for the general, I still use the previous armor. However, I can try to reduce some weight, and reduce it to fifty or sixty catties."

Zhao Yan: "I'm afraid this is difficult?"

Mai Xiang: "An armor made entirely of iron can't reduce the weight much, but we can improve the iron."

Zhao Yan: "Iron is iron, how can it be improved?"

Mai Xiang: "When I was in Qinghe County, I met a foreigner by chance. He mentioned to me something called steel. Steel is better than iron. Even if it is very thin, it is not easy to be pierced by weapons."

Zhao Yan was overjoyed when he heard this: "It's so good, why don't you go to the governor's office in a few days, and work with the master craftsmen there to develop that thing called steel?"

Mai Xiang: "Okay, you first write to the governor, if he agrees, I will go to the governor's office."

The conditions in the Governor's Mansion are good, there are people who need people, and materials are needed.

The governor was studying the map in the meeting hall, and the soldiers came to report: "My lord, General Liang from the Lushan Guard is here!"

After hearing this, the Governor-General smiled all over his face: "Hurry up and invite General Liang to come here and have someone prepare tea and melon and fruit snacks!"

The soldiers quickly took orders and came in with Mai Xiang.

The governor came out with a hearty smile: "Hey, General Liang is here, today is the first time we meet! As expected, General Liang has a heroic demeanor, much better than those so-called famous ladies! "

He just likes such strong and courageous women, those delicate and weak women, he finds it disgusting when he sees them.Although his own daughter is not as strong and courageous as General Liang, she is definitely not a delicate and weak person.

Mai Xiang saluted respectfully: "The general has seen your lord, and your lord is well!"

The governor warmly greeted: "You have worked hard all the way, sit down quickly and have a cup of tea first! Are you hungry? Stay today, and I will treat you to a big meal!"

Mai Xiang waved her hand: "No, the last general came here today to develop steel products!"

The governor laughed: "You are really hot-tempered, I like it very much, you are a strong and courageous girl! Anyway, I will treat you to a big meal after the steel is successfully developed!"

Mai Xiang: "In five days, Welcome to Northwest Headquarters will open. When the time comes, please come and enjoy the show!"

The governor said with a good temper: "Okay, I must go then! Dumplings, I have thought about it for a long time. If I want to eat dumplings in the future, it will be convenient! By the way, where you live, I have asked my wife to prepare them Yes. Well, you live in the Governor’s Mansion, so it’s safer. A separate small courtyard is prepared for you, not in the backyard, but in the front yard. This way, it’s easier for you to get in and out!”

Mai Xiang nodded: "Thank you sir!"

Five days passed in a flash.Working together with several master craftsmen, Mai Xiang finally figured out how to make steel.For the rest, there is nothing to do with Mai Xiang. After attending the opening ceremony for welcoming guests, she will go back to Lushan Guard.

Yingkelai is located in the busiest street in Hongye City. It is a small two-story building with a three-entry house behind it.This is very good, it can be used for both business and residential use.The decoration is similar to that of the main store in Qinghe County. The first courtyard and the second courtyard in the backyard are both decorated as private rooms.The third enters the courtyard, which is used as a residence.

On the opening day, Zhao Yan came to Hongye City with two general banners, five personal soldiers, Mai Xiang's father and Ban Xia.The Governor-General also came, and his arrival aroused great attention from the audience.
