Chapter 49 Human Essence Plum (thanks to Jiageng)
The next day, just after dawn, Meng Yi started to shout.

"Get up, walk faster today, and you will be able to reach the place after noon."

Following Meng Yi's voice, the whole family of Ouyang's family got up all the time.

Even the youngest Ouyang Feiluo sat up, raised his hand and rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked softly, "Mom, is it dawn?"

"Yeah, it's dawn, and we have to set off after breakfast. It's December now, and the weather is getting colder every day. Let's get there earlier, and General Meng and the others can go back and report earlier."

"Uh-huh."

Today is the last day of their trip. Although breakfast is one pancake per person, a bowl of wild vegetable mush is added today, so that people can have more food in their stomachs.

After breakfast, they set off again, heading for their destination, the place of exile in the population.

As they were approaching the place, everyone felt a little uneasy, and their progress slowed down a little.

Along the way, Meng Yi urged him several times before arriving at the end of noon.

Seeing that the visitor was dressed in military uniform, Li Zi, who was in charge of managing the exiles, rushed out to greet him, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your hard work, all officers and soldiers, please come inside."

Meng Yi waved his hand and said: "Guan Li, Meng Yi was ordered to send the prisoner over here, please ask Li Guan to receive the official document first." He said and handed over the official document in his hand.

Li Zi was taken aback for a moment, this was the first time Li Zi had encountered it in the five or six years since he was in charge of managing the exiled prisoners.

It turned out that the exiled prisoners were escorted by the soldiers of the military camp?
It seems that this exile is not simple!

After taking the official document and looking at it carefully, he immediately raised his head to look at Ouyang's family, blinked his eyes and turned to look at Meng Yi and asked in a low voice: "General Meng, what arrangements do these people have?"

"none."

This simple word made Li Zi doubt his life.

A third-rank official, a fourth-rank junior Zhan, this exile is so miserable?

Came here to open up wasteland and farm, and didn't even buy any farm tools?

How weird this looks.

Although Li Zi knew it in his heart, this verification was necessary.

After looking at them one by one, he nodded and looked at the only five panniers. They were brought in without charging Ouyang's family a penny.

Seeing a group of people walking in with a guard, Meng Yicai said: "Guard Li, Meng was entrusted by an adult, please trouble Li Guanshi to take care of that little baby's family within his ability. It's still hurting..."

"Little doll? The little doll with big eyes?"

Meng Yi nodded and responded, "Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Manager Li." After speaking, he stuffed two banknotes into Li Zi's hand, and then waved his hand and left the place of exile in the people's mouth - Mount Yu.

Yushan sounds like a mountain, but it is not.

Yushan is actually a county, but this county is very barren. Due to the barren land, no one wants to live here.

Gradually, this place was known by those in power at that time, and some prisoners were sent here to build Yushan. After a long time, it became a place of exile.

Although Yushan is not the most barren place in the Northwest, it is one of the most barren places in the Northwest. There is also an unnamed wasteland five hundred miles away from Yushan.

Yushan is connected to the unnamed wasteland, and the prisoners who came here before have built a part of Yushan into a decent shape.

Although the land is still barren, but after planting the seeds, there is a harvest, which is much better than when those people first came here a few years ago.

Li Zi, who was in charge of managing Yushan, looked at Meng Yi and the others who were drifting away, thinking of Meng Yi's entrustment, he didn't have the slightest reluctance.

Li Zi, who had also fought on the Northwest battlefield, could see that the other three people who were traveling with Meng Yi were not simple characters, so he became a little curious about the little baby's family.

He lowered his head and looked at the bank note stuffed in his hand. It turned out to be two 500 tael bank notes, adding up to 1000 tael.

Looking at Meng Yi who was going away with some doubts, Li Zi thought that those people belonged to a family, but Meng Yi's entrustment was only to that little baby's family. It seems that this family still has a story...

After standing still and thinking for a while, Li Zi turned around with his hands behind his back, and walked in the direction where Ouyang's family left before.

When he came to an open place, Li Zi saw Ouyang's family standing there, and stopped to look at the family.

At first, he didn't think there was anything, but after a closer look, Li Zi found a clue.

This family is actually divided into two factions. It doesn't look like a family. It's a bit interesting...

Having made up his mind, Li Zi walked over, looked at Ouyang's family and said coldly: "You are very lucky, you will have a place to live when you come here. It's just that the yard is a bit small, you have to live separately."

As soon as Li Zi said something, Chen Yanhua, the old lady of Ouyang, complained in a low voice: "Live separately? What kind of broken place is this? Not to mention the potholes everywhere, it's hard to get around, and even the living place is small..."

Although Chen Yanhua's voice was very low, Li Zi still heard some of it. He narrowed his eyes slightly and curled his lips. Li Zi didn't speak, but turned around and walked to the left.

Seeing this, Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin stepped up to follow, leaving Ouyang Hong and his wife and Ouyang Hui's family there with disgust and complaints on their faces.

Seeing that the two uncles had already followed the steward, Ouyang Mingqing and Mingyan brothers also walked over quickly, wanting to see what the place they lived in was like.

Ouyang Hong looked at his eldest son Ouyang Hui, and said in a low voice, "Let's go, let's go and see where we live first."

"Yes, father."

When Ouyang Hong and the others came to a courtyard with a half-person-high earthen wall, Mrs. Ouyang Chen Yanhua immediately whispered: "This is the place we live in? Whoever likes to live in this earthen courtyard .”

Ouyang Jin and Ouyang Qin, who had already released the shackles, looked at the dirt-walled yard in front of them, walked in, and looked carefully.

There are two main rooms, a stove room and a utility room, and the toilet is in a corner. Although the yard doesn't look very big, there is a lot of land in the backyard where you can grow some vegetables.

After discussing with the Ouyang Jin brothers, Ouyang Qin looked at Li Zi and said seriously: "My lord, our family lives here."

Li Zi asked seriously: "Have you thought about it?"

"Think about it. It's this courtyard wall, can we build some more?"

Hearing Ouyang Qin's words, Li Zi understood, and then nodded in response: "It can be built further, but you need to figure out a way for this adobe brick. You can make it yourself, or you can exchange it with other villagers."

After speaking, Li Zi saw him nodding in response, then turned and walked towards a yard not far away.

This courtyard has one more room than Ouyang Qin's, and the others are similar. Seeing the disgust on Chen Yanhua's face, Ouyang Jin settled down.

At this time, Manager Li Zili had almost observed it. He looked at Chen Yanhua who had been drooping, turned his figure around, and led a group of people towards another direction.

When the group came to a courtyard with a wall as high as one person, Guanshi Li stopped in his tracks.
