Chapter 480 Make Arrangements Immediately ([-])

The fleet still had to stop overnight to load and unload goods, because the goods brought back included not only the materials Qi Ke needed, but also those bought by merchants in the county town. Almost all the merchants on the boat were gone. Anyway, the floor where the Cao Jin family is located is quite quiet. , did not hear any new guests coming up, and it seemed that she was the only one left on the whole floor.

In the middle of the night, when the goods were handed over, the place where Jia Ji's fleet was moored was quiet, but the city gate was quietly opened, and a team of more than ten people came out, both men and women, all dressed in The blouses embroidered with the word "Jia Ji" are all young girls, generally three or five years old, with ragged clothes and skinny clothes, and they are washed cleanly, walking with sleepy eyes, with a panicked expression on their faces.

Some of these guys from Jia Ji are holding one or two-year-old children in their hands, and some are carrying baskets with both hands. The babies sleeping in the baskets are all babies less than one year old. The newborns born in the past few days are contained in a basket, and their skin is wrinkled like a monkey.

The team silently boarded the boat and handed over the children.

Affected by the drought in the capital, more and more people fled. Many people went all the way south and then east. When asked, they didn't know how they came to Dong'an Mansion in the east of Heyang Prefecture.

Donglin County, which had received a large number of refugees last year, has welcomed a larger group of refugees. However, the good news of a good grain harvest has been spread in Siliu Village, so new refugees are constantly coming here in order to have a meal. eat.

The county is also kind, instead of simply and rudely keeping the refugees out of the county, it allows them to go to the city to find odd jobs to earn money to support themselves, but if they commit crimes, not only the yamen will arrest people, but also the Bai family army. People maintain law and order in the county and surrounding areas.

After the refugees entered the city, all kinds of things happened in life. There are people who sell their children to their teeth for money every day, and those who abandon them are also increasing day by day, because if they are older, they can work and sell them. No one wants the young ones, and the parents can't afford to support them, so abandonment has become a common occurrence. In the past few days, at the shop opened by Jia Ji Boat Company in the county, someone will secretly leave young girls outside the door every night.

After Qi Ke received the news, she asked them to take the child and send it to the village with the boat. She came to adopt her, not only to earn fame, but also to be able to be used as an ordinary subordinate when she grows up.

It was precisely because of such a decision that there was an arrangement to send people on board in the middle of the night.

The city gate let people go out in the middle of the night, of course it was agreed in advance. With the face of Jia Ji Shipping Company and a little money to open the way, the matter will be done, but the premise of this is that it is not the soldiers of the Bai family army who guard the gate, but People in the county government can only have the army take over the defense of the city gates in emergency situations such as war. The purpose is to prevent the army from expanding and controlling the county. But in fact, if the army is strong enough, this law is useless.

Now it turns out that money makes more than one can knock on the city gate.

In the early morning of the next day, Cao Jinshi was still asleep, and the fleet set off for Siliu Village.

Qi Ke received the notice from Zhaolin and learned that the pregnant woman who was rescued was coming to Siliu Village with the boat. He guessed that she might not be able to enter the county without an identity document, so she immediately ordered her to entertain the guests and try to get her Stay, a pregnant woman in the third trimester, there really is no other good place to go besides her.
