Jiang You looks much better than Zhang Qi, as the eldest princess,  naturally she has to walk in the middle,  there are people in front, back, left and right to **** her ,  At most, there are too many ways to walk,  very tired and panic.

    Jiang You thought that her body was not pure and would not feel tired, but after walking for a day, she was also tired.

    ; My eyes are so tired.

    Jiang You regrets it a little,  I knew that I would have taken another road, why did I take this road that connects all the mountain villages.

    However, the mountain people problem must be solved in the future, not to mention the rare animals and plants on the mountain, the mountain must be developed.

    "Master,  How long will it take to get to Jiuyu Village?"

    Zhang Qi this question,  From the beginning of half a day to ask,  Developed to ask once an hour.

    Jiang You coughed with some guilty conscience,  looking at Hua Rong, Hua Rong quickly replied: "It's coming soon,  This is the last mountain, out of After walking on this mountain for another half an hour, we will reach Jiuyu Village."

    Zhang Qi took a sip of the water in the sack,  only felt like he was about to fall apart, needless to say, he knew how embarrassed he was now, but when he first came out, he would still Feeling ashamed because he vomited on horseback, now he looks like a savage in the mountains, and he can be calm.

    I have to say that you have to be thick-skinned to live comfortably.

    Jiuyu Village is a very small village, there are only more than 30 households in the village, and the total number of people is less than 200.

    Yu Niang is as usual today, drying fish, cooking, washing clothes, and running her shabby little home. Since the two adults from outside left, Jiuyu Village returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

    No, there are changes.

    For example, a few adults came two days ago, and they went to the patriarch's house to say something, and then there were many outsiders in the village, including officials from the government, and road builders.

    Yes, build a road, Yu Niang knows the road, people in the mountains often walk there will be a small road, with a road, it will be much faster to walk, at least she doesn't have to worry about sharp stones cutting her feet .

    The people who built the road were fierce and tall. They were placed in a small open space outside the village, and they set up a tent, surrounded by officers and soldiers, and no one was allowed to approach.

    Yu Niang always felt that the people who built the roads were not like the people who served in her memory, but more like rangers who were not easy to mess with.

     

    "The official of the household registration department who found here said that the people living in this side are often rebellious and unruly. If there are women who come over, they are afraid that more troops will be needed to protect them, and there are many people from the city to this place. It is because of the miasma on the mountain road, it is difficult to walk, and the women are frail, so they are afraid of calling women over, and they will easily get sick.”

    If you have any questions, just ask Huarong.

    Zhang Qi didn't think that the officials at the bottom would care so much for the people, and even the prisoners care so much. "Officers are very concerned about prisoners."

    Hearing Zhang Qi's sigh, Hua Rong shook her head, "They don't care about the prisoners, they care about their own performance. After the prisoners are assigned to one place, life and death become the officials' performance. If the punishment time for the fortification ends and no one is injured, the officials will be rewarded. Inspector, don't you know about this?"

    Zhang Qi was stunned, he really didn't know.

    Prisoners are managed by the government, and the Supervision Department does not have any management authority over prisoners, so Zhang Qi is very unfamiliar with these convenient rules.

    "It is estimated that the prisoners who come here are all prisoners who will be punished for life. In such a harsh environment, officials are not willing to bring prisoners who work for a short time." Hua Rong looked at the heavy soldiers not far away. The guard's tent, "It's just to get a group of such prisoners out. Although there are soldiers watching, it's still very dangerous."

    "I remember when I was managing prisoners who had to work for a lifetime, if a prisoner escaped, he could kill him. If a prisoner who only worked for a few years escaped, he would be caught and sent back Yamen, after reviewing the facts of escape, it will be sentenced for a few more years, right?" Zhang Qi didn't know the details of the government's regulations, but he still knew about the regulations related to how to deal with prisoners.

    "Is this the case, Inspector Zhang thinks that the prisoner cherishes his life and will not escape? This is also true. If you do fortifications, you will have food and shelter. Outside, lack of food and clothing."

    In fact, the prisoners who were sentenced to work in fortifications for life were not guilty of what they did.

    Most of these prisoners were implicated by relatives. For example, the Yao family colluded with Linzhou before. Except for the mastermind, most of the Yao family were sent to Qingzhou to build roads.

    "You care about the prisoners? Zhang Qi, how do you think I will link the life and death of the prisoners to the performance of the officials?" Jiang You saw that Zhang Qi and Hua Rong kept talking about the prisoners. thing, he asked.

    Jiang You asked casually, but Zhang Qi saluted carefully: "My lord's move is very effective."

    It is effective. If only simple rules are stipulated, officials may not abide by them. They will only pay attention to this matter if it is linked to the direct interests of officials.

    "Do you know why I want to protect the prisoner?" Jiang You hopes to let Zhang Qi see the truth from this, Zhang Qi works with Yuan You all day long, but don't be swayed by the gentry on Yuan You "Naive" contagion.

    Zhang Qi thought for a while and replied, "But because those prisoners serving short-term fortifications and relatives are waiting for them to go back?"

    Jiang You smiled with satisfaction, she nodded, looking at Zhang Qi's eyes, as if she was looking at a crop of green, very bright, tall and straight leeks, she could take them kind of.

    Fortifications is a punishment method, in the eyes of many people, it is a hopeful punishment, many people are waiting for the prisoners who have finished their work to go home and live a good life, Jiang You does not want a commoner to commit a crime , was sentenced to several years for fortifications, and as a result, people died before the fortification time was over.

      .

    "There is a family over there, Zhang Qi, you go and find out who we are looking for."

    Walking all the way, finally saw a family, Jiang You quickly called Zhang Qi over.

    Zhang Qi looked down at himself, he was now in rags, with a gray face, and his hair was messy like a chicken coop. Come on, do you want to dress up? Why go directly to ask!

    Isn't it a little too rude!

     Yu Niang raised her head, startled.

    The last time she was so frightened, it was two adults from outside. With the previous experience, at least Yu Niang didn't run into the house this time.

    "This eldest sister, her surname is Zhang, her name is odd, her spelling is different, someone from the capital of heaven, come here to find someone." Zhang Qi said dryly, then bowed and met Yu Niang's puzzled eyes were embarrassed.

    He, he, he, he, he, he, he, he took the initiative to approach a woman for the first time, although the woman did not look very good, and the dress was not much better than he is now, and he is older than him, he still does not know What to say.

    "I'm here, I want to ask, is there any hot water in your house? Is there any room available? I'm running all the way here, I want to take a good rest." Speaking of rest, Zhang Qi said immediately It's okay, he really can't stand it!

      Can't stand it.

    Zhang Qi felt that he was a little hypocritical, but he still felt that he should dress up well before going to find someone.

    So embarrassed, even if she finds someone, she will embarrass the eldest princess. If it is because of him, people despise the eldest princess, which is intolerable to Zhang Qi.

    Yu Niang asked hesitantly, "Young master wants to rest at my house?"

    Generally, foreign guests go to the patriarch's house. Her family is nothing but nothing, and because of the fishy smell of drying fish all the year round, this person is a noble person from heaven.

      Heavenly Beijing.

    I heard that it is a jade pavement, gold and stone for tiles, food everywhere, and a good place to live in it, and never have to suffer from hunger, cold and heat.

    It is like a treasure in the sky, where the gods live.

    The young man in front of him, although the clothes are not ragged, but the texture on the clothes can be vaguely seen.

    And his salute is exactly the same as the two adults who came before, Yu Niang knows that the young man in front of him does not need to lie, he must be an immortal figure from the heavenly capital, such a person, Why would you stop at her house? Looking at the door of the house, which is only a single board, the dried fish hanging on the wooden shelf in the small yard surrounded by wooden sticks, and the house that is so dilapidated that it seems to collapse at any time, the cracked earth wall and the bareness will leak air. On the leaking roof, Yu Niang's face was hot, her head bowed and she was at a loss.

    "If the eldest sister doesn't mind, I want to take a bath at the eldest sister's house and change clothes. If the eldest sister thinks it is inappropriate, then forget it."

    "Why does the son keep calling me sister?"

    Yu Niang listened to the eldest sister several times, but felt uncomfortable, she was just a poor man.

    Zhang Qi was stunned for a moment, wondering why Yu Niang asked, "In the heavenly capital, we call the older woman the eldest sister."

    Zhang Qi thought that this was the etiquette of the great clan of the Meng kingdom, because the entire heavenly capital was called that way, and now in the land of the three states, all the people from the great clan and those who have read books are called women in this way.

    Zhang Qi thought, Qingzhou originally belonged to Wei State, how should Wei State honor women?

    He thought about it, but he didn't think of the honorary title. It seems that except for Bangladesh, other countries have no honorary title for ordinary women.

    When he was in the capital of Meng Kingdom, he didn't seem to have heard of anyone from a big clan who used the title of eldest sister to ordinary women.

    So this name is unique to Tianshangjing?
