Farming and Reclaiming Wasteland, I Pampered Hou Ye In Ancient Times

   Chapter 82 The county town post station cannot enter

  Chu Lixuan usually lies motionless during the day.

   There were tragic cries along the way. The locust plague suffered heavy losses, and Jiang Xinyan was worried in her heart.

   They are now the subjects of Dongchen Kingdom, and there are no eggs under the nest. If the treasury is empty, there will be displaced victims everywhere.

   The couple try not to communicate during the day, and Jiang Xinyan usually sleeps a lot.

   With big eyes and small eyes, it was inconvenient to speak, so he could only sleep, but at this moment there was a constant wailing in his ears.

   In the exile procession, there were those who were too hungry to cry, and those who could not walk.

   There were also local people, standing or sitting in the fields beside the official road, crying in despair, and Jiang Xinyan had no intention of sleeping.

   Everyone continued on the road with their stomachs deflated, dreaming that they could have a full meal when they arrived at the Guanshan County Yali.

   After a long day of torment, we finally got close to Guanshan County.

  Everyone didn't expect that what awaited them was not the food, but a black mourning.

   There is a long queue at the gate of the county town waiting to enter the gate.

   And the gate of the city is surrounded by water, and those with a little more wealth around them have to go into the city to buy food.

   All the food in the nearby villages was eaten up by the army of locusts.

  The villagers don’t have any food in their homes. The people are for their sons and incense.

  Breaking pots and selling iron had to go to the city to buy some food and keep it for the son at home.

   They can eat grass roots and bark, but children still need a little food to survive.

  The officials looked at the gate of the city, such a scene, it was impossible to enter no matter what!

   The leader discussed it with several squad leaders, and one squad leader said, "This queue will enter the city, and I won't be able to enter until tomorrow."

   Another squad leader asked: "What should we do then?"

  The official dispatcher asked the team leader of Jinyiwei: "Zhao Yu, what do you think?"

   "Line up a few people to enter the city, and give the county magistrate the seal of the documents, and the county government should also supply some food."

   Every time they go to a post station, the county lieutenant must personally receive them, including food and lodging, and the county lieutenant can reimburse these expenses.

   "What if there is no food and supplies in the county office?" A squad leader asked worriedly when he saw the crowds at the city gate.

   "Isn't it possible that the food will not run out so soon? There is no way that there is no food in the county office, not to mention that the documents for the reception of the exiles have already arrived. Why should they prepare some!"

   Zhao Yu also said uncertainly, according to the reasoning, Guanshan County Commander has already received the document.

   These locusts came only yesterday, but Zhao Yu couldn't guarantee that they would have food and supplies.

   When disaster strikes, it is not impossible for the county magistrate to withhold their rations!

   Zhao Yu said to his two subordinates: "You two go into the city at night. No matter whether the county magistrate has rations or not, you must buy more."

   There is still a long way to go! The further back you go, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy food.

   At that time, they will not care, the rations of the officials will be gone.

  The officials led by Zhao Yu knew what he was thinking when they heard what Zhao Yu said.

   However, the officials were higher than them, so he could only instruct a few squad leaders to watch and buy some food.

   The leader of the official clerk and the team leader of the official errand are not temporary workers, they are staffed.

   The three officers looked at the two prisoners, of which only one was staffed, and the two officers were temporary workers "assisting police".

   Their salary is much lower than that of Jinyiwei masters, but the monthly salary of temporary workers is lower than them.
