Chapter 122 Chapter 121
"That's all the news I found out, only money, they don't recognize anything but money.

My classmate has relatives in Hefeng Town, and the nephew of the relatives is still working in the yamen, which is useless. "

"let me think again."

The old man Qi threw away Qi Wenfang and ran to Qi Bao'er, picked up Qi Bao'er to avoid the crowd.

"Hey, how much money do you have left?"

Qi Bao'er thought for a while and asked: "Master, do you want us to deposit money first to let the villagers go over? If the appointment is not enough, three or six or nine people and three injured people will cost five taels per person, sir."

She still has other things to sell, but she can't afford them outside the city gate?
Moreover, at this time, the wealth must not be revealed. Why did Uncle Uncle inquire about the news that there are twelve taels per person?She didn't believe that Uncle Dayou would talk nonsense, there was a truth in it.

Hefeng Town is more arrogant than Beiyang Town, and there are more refugees around here, so they may not be unable to kill people for money.

Wuliang is just entering a city, and the town is not allowed to stay, so get out as soon as you pass by.

It was all stolen openly.

The old man Qi is also wilting this time, isn't it just that he won't let it go, which city requires five taels of silver, ordinary people like them may not be able to save five taels a year with a family.

At this time, the big guys over there also knew about the five-liang city fee. The whole team was in despair, and many people fell to the ground and had no energy to cry.

But really no way to survive, no way to survive at all.

Wu Haoyuan's fists hanging on both sides were clenched so that his veins bulged, he gritted his teeth and said, "Dog officials, these dog officials."

Jun Chenyuan looked straight at the city gate with a cold face, "Go and find a way."

Wu Haoyuan: "...??"

Here, Qi Kang'an has also come to the grandfather and grandson, and Qi Kang'an looked at Qi Bao'er and asked the same question as old man Qi.

"Baby, do you still have any silver?"

The old man prayed: "Three to four hundred people, one person five taels, do you think there will be one if you are obedient?"

Qi Baoer: "..."

Qi Kang'an sat down on the ground with a sullen face, "Father, what do you think is going to happen? We can live on our own, but it can't do that."

"Why don't we climb over the mountain."

The old man Qi gave him a slap on the back of the head, "Look at the many refugees around here, if they can pass through the mountain, why should they all be stopped here?"

Are you the only one with a brain?

Mrs. Tian staggered over. The mother and son were worthy of being mother and son. She also whispered: "Old man, why don't we go into the mountains?"

Can't enter the city, she can't stay outside the city, the refugees look at them very strangely, especially when they look at the young daughter-in-law and children, it's like starving for ten or eight years and finally looking at a food the same.

She didn't dare to look into the eyes of other people, and her heart was really beating.

"Don't worry, I'll think of a way."

Qi Kang'an suddenly stood up suddenly, and walked towards the city gate.

The old man Qi thought he was going crazy, so he yelled at him, "What are you doing?"

"I'll go to the yamen servants to inquire and confirm the news. If it is really necessary to rely on money, it is really impossible to take out all our family's money and put it first."

After the words fell, he had already gone far away.

The old man Qi didn't call him again, and now his mind was in a mess and he lost his mind.

"What?"

As soon as Qi Kang'an approached here, the yamen servants immediately drew their knives and pointed at him, all of them had fierce faces, as if they would let him be chopped off by the knives if he took a step closer.

Qi Kang'an smiled and pointed to the notice, "My lord, Xiaomin wants to take a look at the notice, but his eyes are not very good, and I can't see clearly from a distance."

As he spoke, he touched the sleeve pocket of his left hand with his right hand.

What is a sleeve bag?

There are no poor families or servants. They usually sew a pocket inside their clothes when they go out to hide money, because their hands seem to never be idle like perpetual motion machines. , First, it is easy to fall off, and second, it also affects work.

As for noble masters and rich people who are served everywhere, they will sew a pocket in the left sleeve of their clothes to hold silver or lighter silver bills. This is the sleeve pocket.

So here, by looking at where a person is used to taking out money from, you can tell the person's origin.

Qi Kang'an's action made a group of yamen servants look at him differently. This is a master with status, at least a rich one.

Immediately, a yamen servant took the knife back and walked out, motioned to Qi Kangan with his eyes, and walked towards the notice first.

Qi Kang'an first smiled and nodded at the other yamen servants, and then followed closely.

The contents of the announcement were similar to what Fang Qiwen said back, but he didn't say the last two things, probably because the Juren surnamed Tang didn't tell him.

It is estimated that there is no need to say.

One is that men between the ages of 15 and 45 who have been checked and confirmed to be healthy can enter the city for free, and the government will provide food and accommodation in the future, and they will find a wife in the future, and the government will help raise their children.

Is this a good thing for the government that charges five taels of entry fee?
The notice tells you that there are—corvets.

And it's not the kind of service that can be done in a month or two like they used to, but a lifelong corvee.

The kind that signs a deed of sale to the government.

Once the deed of sale is signed, it will be a slave for generations.

The second is to join the army, which is a healthy man over the age of 15 and under the age of 45, and there is a huge difference between joining the army and doing corvee benefits. As long as one member of the family joins the army, the whole family can enter the town for free, as long as It's enough if you don't stay in Hefeng Town.

Qi Kang'an quickly stuffed a small piece of silver into the hands of the yamen servant, "Give the brothers some tea."

The yamen servant felt it with his hand, and he estimated that there were five or two taels in his hand, and immediately his serious face that had been stern turned into a smile.

For the sake of money, he reminded in a low voice: "If you can afford the money, go there earlier, it's not safe outside the town."

As he spoke, he glanced around at the refugees outside as if inadvertently.

Qi Kang'an's heart skipped a beat for a moment, and he hurriedly stuffed another two taels of silver in the past, "My lord, is there no other way to get there other than what is said in the notice? My lord, that's right, we are a family walking together." , I can’t leave everyone alone.”

The yamen servant was a little moved to see that he was still so affectionate at this moment, and said that people would become numb if they saw a lot. The key is that they haven't seen much now, and they haven't reached the point of numbness yet.

Moreover, Hefeng Town is originally a rich town, not to say that every household in it is rich, but that there are quite a few wealthy households in it.

But this yamen servant has never seen a wealthy household who can take care of his own clan in times of trouble.

He licked his lower lip and said something more quietly, even Qi Kang'an almost didn't hear clearly.

What he said was: "You have to have acquaintances who can talk to you."

After finishing speaking, he walked back and continued to stand guard, without even taking another look at Qi Kang'an.
