The Landlord's Life After Wearing a Book

Chapter 160 Chapter 160
Because it was a long trip, Wang Weiwei took a carriage, which was made of agarwood.

In ancient times, people who rode in carriages were all people of status, the higher the status, the more luxurious the carriage, so Wang Weiwei did not dare to make the carriage very gorgeous and eye-catching.

But there are wardrobes, jade tables, bookshelves, picnic tools and food in the carriage compartment, just like a small living room.

Wang Nianzhi, A Ming and Dashu were driving outside the car, while Wang Weiwei, a few children and Ma Xueru sat in the car and enjoyed the scenery along the way.

But after leaving Anju County, they didn't appreciate the scenery along the way, but they did appreciate a lot of refugees.

Disgruntled refugees one by one, led the whole family forward non-stop, looking in the direction that seemed to be the Liuhe Village they were going to.

Wang Weiwei took children with him, and he was afraid of accidents, so the carriage followed far behind the refugees, not daring to go over.

However, it didn't take long for the refugees to stop, turn around and stand still, staring at Wang Weiwei and others' carriage with malicious intent.

Dashu and Amin noticed the abnormality, and immediately reminded Wang Weiwei, "Sister, these refugees seem to be waiting for us."

Wang Weiwei opened the curtain and took a look. There were only a few able-bodied refugees among this group of refugees, most of whom were old, young, women and children.

If you are serious, you may not be able to beat them.

"Go on, be aggressive, and ignore them."

Wang Weiwei couldn't bear to see the little ones, so he explained, "There are too many people, we can't save them, but we will hurt ourselves instead."

"Mom, there are only 30 people here?"

Wang Weiwei rolled his eyes at Erwa angrily, "Are there not many people in groups of [-] or [-] along the way?"

Erwa immediately stopped talking.

The carriage and the refugees got closer and closer, and the refugees surrounded the carriage as if premeditated.

A Ming drew his sword to threaten, and the refugees did not dare to approach the carriage, but they did not show any intention of stopping when they saw the carriage.

A woman in the crowd immediately knelt out, "My lord, please help me!"

The woman howled miserably, and the baby in her arms was dying.

Wang Weiwei really couldn't stand this kind of scene, and couldn't bear to see the little ones in the car, so he sighed, let's set an example!

Wang Weiwei threw a bottle of milk from the car, "This is milk, feed it to the children!"

Seeing Wang Weiwei giving alms, other refugees also begged one after another.

Wang Weiwei knew that there would be such a result, so she donated some dry food, which were some pancakes of miscellaneous grains, and she did not give white flour pancakes and jerky.

By the way, I inquired about the origin of these refugees.

There was a severe drought in Yunzhou, another locust plague, local bureaucrats were corrupt, the relief supplies were delayed, and the disaster situation was concealed.

They heard that there was a good official in Quanzhou, so they traveled across mountains and rivers to Quanzhou to ask this good official for help.

But they were not allowed to enter any county town they visited.

They are almost running out of food, so they can only take one step at a time, hoping that the magistrate of the next county will be a good one.

But they really can't move forward, and they have no way to sell their sons and daughters.

It's even worse to go back, because if you go back, you will have to wait for death.

If I had known that they would not ask for help in Quanzhou recently, I should have followed the folks to the capital.

Wang Weiwei learned about the current situation of this group of people, and just received the points of this group of people, which shows that this group of people still knows how to be grateful, and the points are not earned for nothing.

"My family lacks a group of farm servants. If you are willing to be slaves, I can take you in."

As soon as they heard that someone was willing to take him in, everyone agreed one after another. Now there is nothing more important than surviving.

Without further ado, Wang Weiwei immediately asked Ma Xueru to write the deed of sale, and then pressed his fingerprints one by one. When the time came, the deed of sale would be filed in the yamen, and the matter would be completed.

Wang Weiwei was not very happy after buying this group of people, but the younger ones grinned and grinned.

They are far away from Anju County now, so they let this group of people go to Liuhe County with them.

Along the way, they also encountered many refugees, but Wang Weiwei didn't meddle in their own business.

There were many refugees around their carriage, so the other refugees did not approach.

When he arrived in Liuhe County, to Wang Weiwei's surprise, he had to pay the city fee to enter the city.

And it is paid on a per capita basis, one penny for children and three pennies for adults.

Wang Weiwei paid nearly a hundred Wen for the city entry fee alone.

Originally, refugees were not allowed to enter the city, but Wang Weiwei showed a handwritten deed of sale and asked the soldiers guarding the city to accommodate, so they were able to enter the city.

As soon as Wang Weiwei and others entered the city, they received strange looks from the residents in the city.

So Wang Weiwei didn't live in the inn ostentatiously, but rented a small yard from a tooth shop.

The yard is relatively large, with seven or eight rooms, but they can't stand the crowd, so they can only squeeze together.

The newly bought group of refugees are all members of the same clan and are related by blood, so Wang Weiwei dare not relax his vigilance.

Fortunately, their hands and feet are more nimble, and they have something to do in their eyes, not because they are lazy.

Wang Weiwei immediately bought some rice grains and put them in the yard.

After everyone had a full meal, they rested.

The next day, Wang Weiwei took all the young and strong men out.

There are many refugees, and she needs to deter them.

Ma Yuanwai's Zhuangzi was in the suburbs, and Wang Weiwei entered the city in a different direction.

According to Ma Xueru's introduction, the Zhuangzi in Liuhe County is not big, with only more than 100 mu of fertile land, but the scenery with mountains and water is not bad.

But the amount of food produced was too little, and she could barely make ends meet, so she didn't put much thought into this Zhuangzi in the past.

Wang Weiwei felt a little strange that Zhuangzi, with more than 100 mu of fertile land, could not make ends meet. Is it such a waste?
While speaking, Wang Weiwei and others had already arrived at Zhuangzi's gate.

The gate of Zhuangzi was closed tightly, and on the door plate was written the three big characters Majiazhuang Hehe.

Wang Nianzhi knocked on the door, but there was no response. After knocking for a long time, someone came and opened the door.

When the visitor saw Wang Weiwei and the others, his tone was very bad, "Who are you? What are you knocking on?"

Ma Xueru frowned, very angry, "Where's Steward Ma? Call him out, but the master doesn't greet you when he comes. What's the matter if the door is closed?"

When the visitor heard that it was the Lord's family who came to inspect, he quickly closed the door and called for someone to enter.

Ma Xueru suddenly got rejected, and became even more furious.

Although this Zhuangzi no longer belonged to their Ma family, she never expected that the Ma family's Zhuangzi would look like this.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law was angry, Wang Nianzhi hurried to comfort her.

Wang Weiwei glanced at the three big characters of Majiazhuang again, and signaled Amin to take down the plaque.

Ma Xueru felt uncomfortable looking at the plaque that A Ming took down, but she didn't say anything.

After a long time, Steward Ma opened the door with a large group of people.

Butler Ma knew Ma Xueru, so when he saw Ma Xueru, he was very respectful.

He knew that Ma Xueru would not stay in Zhuangzi for a long time, so it would be fine if he had a better attitude and perfunctory.

But when he saw the Majiazhuang plaque in Amin's hand, he pointed at Amin in shock and cursed, "Where did this kid with a yellow mouth come from, and he came to our Majiazhuang to act wild!"

As he said that, Steward Ma ignored Ma Xueru who was on the side, and directly asked the servant behind him to attack A Ming.
