Chapter 355 The family has more than ten cubs (3)

Zhu Jiayi had no choice but to speculate in the dark again, that person was very utilitarian, and if he wanted to climb up, he was bound to clear the obstacles on the way, and the dozen or so mothers were the first stumbling block.

If they go home today, they wonder if they will see the sun tomorrow!

They were all used to doing farm work at home, even though Zhu Jiayi had just taken over this body, she was full of stamina, and hurried to the county town, but within an hour they saw the city gate.

After entering the city, Zhu Jiayi took her baby to the farmer's market and bought a lot of sesame seed cakes, a jar of salted duck eggs, a small jar of pickled vegetables, a few coarse cloth towels, a bag of brown rice, a bag of mixed noodles, and two bags. An urn, spoon, and bowls and chopsticks.

I bought two sets of coarse clothes, shoes and socks for everyone, and rented a donkey cart to Fucheng.

Just when they arrived at the gate of the yamen, the boss and the third child were holding the freshly baked Lu Yin and stared blankly excitedly.

Zhu Jiayi told them to follow the car, and the group left the city gate without stopping.

Everyone held the meat buns contentedly and gnawed, like little wolf cubs, fierce and ruthless.

The meat buns are very big, but I can't stand the large number of people in the family. A big bag of buns is only one meal, and Zhu Jiayi looks at the big ones, it seems that they are not full...

At this moment, Zhu Jiayi was in a trance and realized what ten children represented.

"Mom, let's go..."

After the children ate the buns and drank cold boiled water, they couldn't bear to ask questions.

Zhu Jiayi glanced over, and the children shut their mouths obediently.

Although the donkey cart ran not much faster than a human, it had enough stamina. The older children took turns to trot along with them, and the younger children also jumped down from time to time to exercise their hands and feet, having fun chasing the cart.

They walked on the official road, and there were many people on the road at the moment, Zhu Jiayi called to stop every time there was a pergola at the intersection.

They will get out of the car and everyone will ask for a bowl of herbal tea and hot fire to eat.

Zhu Jiayi listened with ears pricked up.

Generally, people who meet and chat here are talking about major national affairs, people's livelihood in various places, and customs. After listening to two or three stalls, she captured the information she needed.

They arrived in Fucheng in a day, and before closing the door, Zhu Jiayi rented a car and went to the next Fucheng.

On the tenth day, they ran into a group of about seven or eight hundred refugees.Saying goodbye to the coachman in Fucheng, Zhu Jiayi took the children out of the city gate, changed back to the old worn-out clothes, and mixed into the refugees with the package!

They don't have enough to eat all year round. Although they have eaten well these few days, they just lifted their spirits and looked a little better. Now they are mixed among the refugees, and they are still more like refugees than refugees...

This group of people are refugees who were displaced by floods in the south this year. Their hometowns were flooded. They had nowhere to go, so they got tangled up and headed north, hoping to find a place without disasters and harm, fertile land, clean government, and simple folk customs.

A small number of people became the backbone and took the first batch of refugees straight to Kyoto.

The border is located in a remote place, but there are many people coming and going. Even if the news is delayed, they can hear many important things about Xia Huaguo.Among them is the news that this group of refugees got their wish and settled down near Kyoto!

Later, there were so many refugees that only some of them were resettled in other prefectures, and the rest were repatriated to their places of origin!
Zhu Jiayi led the children, just like others, with numbness, anxiety and misery towards life on their faces, hunched over, with dilapidated baskets on their backs, and buried their heads on the road.

The mingling of the eleven of them did not cause the slightest movement, after all, everyone looked disgraced and disheveled.

This place is very close to Kyoto. After they finished eating the sesame seed cakes they brought, they steamed the buns with the miscellaneous grains that Zhu Jiayi had bought before, and swallowed them with water.

Although rough, they are much better than before, at least they can fill their stomachs.

Except for Zhu Jiayi who had a hard time eating, the ten children, like the rest of the family, looked around vigilantly while eating with their hands, for fear that someone would snatch the buns in their hands.

The refugees are like locusts, they are scraped off the bark wherever they go, and many towns and villages do not allow them to enter.

After another ten days of trekking, when their rations were about to run out, they finally arrived in Kyoto!
The refugees did not go to the gate of the city, but each found their temporary shelter at the base of the city wall.

"Hey, what are you doing!" The chief guard took a look, and hurriedly led a small group of guards forward, yelling coldly.

This is at the feet of the emperor, and all the dignitaries come and go, how can so many refugees be allowed to stay?

"Officer," several leaders looked at each other, stood up with a simple smile and rubbed their hands and said:

“We are all homeless people whose homes have been flooded.

No one took us in everywhere, so thinking that our emperor is kind and compassionate to the people, he will definitely arrange us properly. "

"That's right, we don't ask much, just eat enough, wear warm clothes, and have a place to sleep.

We have a lot of strength and can do a lot of work to repay the emperor! "

"My lord, we were also forced, otherwise who would want to leave their hometown and walk such a long way..."

"Governor please accommodate us, we have nothing to eat and are about to starve to death..."

A group of people gathered around, tugging at the guards' clothes and begging.

There were too many people, making it difficult for the guards to spread their hands and feet for a while, or the head guard suddenly shouted: "Get out of the way, you want to rebel, don't you?"

The common people still had a natural awe of the people in official uniforms, and they all let go of their hands and took half a step back.

"Stay here obediently, don't make trouble, don't steal, smash and loot, otherwise you'll go to jail and drag them to the mine together to do coolies!"

The chief guard threatened for a while before leading the people back to the gate of the city, and ordered in a low voice: "Go and report the situation to our leader, and ask him to send more men.

I will talk to the magistrate, this matter does not wait for anyone! "

After speaking, he got on his horse and left with a low drink.

Being able to be the head of a guard in the capital is also a related household. When he arrived at the government office, he just made a notification and strode in. He directly saw the magistrate who was working at his desk.

"What's the matter, Mr. Cheng, may I trouble you to go there yourself?" The magistrate put down his pen with a smile, and called for tea.

After the chief guard Cheng saluted, he sat down unceremoniously and drank a cup of tea before he sighed and said: "The refugees from the flood in the south have arrived at the gate of the city. Seven or eight hundred people are clamoring for the emperor to help arrange it." !
My lord, you said, the emperor has a lot of things to do every day, how can he bother his old man with everything? "

The magistrate also sighed, "It's really tricky. In a few days, the emperor will take his concubines, important ministers and their families to Qingtai Mountain to escape the summer heat, and he will go right to Zhenggan.

If the refugees are not resettled properly in time, and the holy car is shocked, our lives will be lost! "
