The tax has just been paid here, and two strong squad yamen patrolling the streets came over while walking along the alley.
As a result, the dealers who had been besieging the farmers in groups just now quieted down and wandered into the crowd.
When someone stepped on his heel in the crowd, the idle man who was shouting curses shut up.
And those who wanted to steal things immediately changed places.
Magistrate Zhang is now very tight in controlling the city. Anyone who causes trouble in the streets will be taken to the county government office to be slapped with a board.
The main reason is that the rioters entered the city a year ago and left hidden dangers. Now everyone is like a frightened bird, and they will run around to avoid any noise.
Finally, two strong class yamen officers stopped in front of Xiaoman's stall. They looked at the man who was immersed in sorting the goods and said happily: "Xiaoman, Li Laoshi!"
Xiaoman looked up when he heard the sound and said in surprise: "Brother Chen, it's you!"
The yamen servant surnamed Chen laughed and said, "It's true that you're here. Clean it up. Don't leave it here. I'll take you to find another stall!"
Xiao Man immediately put away the things on the ground: "Brother Chen, what are Brother Xiang and the others doing?"
Chen Yamen smiled and said: "You can see them after selling the goods. Aunt Jiang said you would set up a stall, but I still don't believe it!"
A few people chatted and laughed, put the various things on the ground back into their backpacks, and walked towards the busiest alley.
But on Jiangzhi's side, Wu Hongmao and others asked about the location of the Huo family's small courtyard, and said with a smile: "Aunt, you are going to stay for a few more days. Our brothers will not waste time here and will come to visit after work." !”
Jiang Zhi was also very happy to find an acquaintance in the city: "Okay, come for dinner that night, and I'll ask Xiao Man to barbecue for you!"
In Laoyunya, Xiaoman often roasts rabbits for everyone to eat.
Wu Hongmao shook his head: "Since you are in the city, how can I let my aunt spend money? You just need to cook a pot of porridge, and we will bring some cold dishes!"
"good!"
Jiang Zhi was also happy. There were not all the seasonings in the Huo family's kitchen, and it was a bit embarrassing to make some meals by himself.
After leaving the Yamen, it was still early. Xu Errui looked at the sun that had just risen above his head, then at the pedestrians walking on the street, and sighed: "The city is really lively!"
If only it was Lihua Town, no, if it was as my mother said, when the inn was built, Xujia Village would be so lively.
Few young people can resist this thriving atmosphere.
Compared with the deserted situation in the evening when I last visited the city, the county now has the magnanimity of a large county.
Jiang Zhi also became interested in the market: "Let's go to Mishi Lane to find Xiaoman and see how much they sold for!"
On the street, Jiang Zhi took a look at various drug stores. When she arrived at Mishi Alley, she had a plan for her own affairs.
But the two of them searched around Mishi Alley and couldn't find Xiaoman and the others, so they suddenly became anxious.
Xu Errui looked around: "Could they be lost?"
Jiang Zhi thought that Wu Hongmao had made arrangements before, so he didn't panic: "If we look again, we will probably go to other streets and alleys."
Sure enough, it didn't take long before Xiaoman and Li Chengcheng appeared in the crowd carrying empty baskets, their faces smiling like a flower.
Xu Errui jumped up and down, waving and shouting at Xiaoman, finally letting those two see him.
Xiaoman squeezed over and said, "Auntie, we've sold out everything!"
He was so happy with the money in his arms.
Jiang Zhi also wanted to know what the situation was, but there was no talking here, so he could only wave his hand: "We'll talk about it when we get back!"
Returning to the small courtyard borrowed by the Huo family, Xiaoman drank some water until he was full. Then he wiped the water stains from the corner of his mouth, took out a handful of broken silver and dozens of copper coins and said, "Auntie, this is the money from the sale. A total of One, two or three denarii."
Li Laoshi said proudly: "We are going to sell to the residents. With Lao Chen taking us, those people don't dare to make things difficult and the money is enough."
Xu Errui pressed forward and Li Laoshi finally explained what he was selling.
Chen Yamen and the others found Xiaoman. Seeing that his things were messy and used in ordinary households, they found several households.
Xiaoman's green fungus is of the highest quality, and those people like it very much. They also said that they can send any dried fungus shoots in the future, and even bought straw sandals and linen cloth.
Jiang Zhi nodded after hearing this. This was also a face given to the government officials, and several parties benefited.
The day passed like this, and at night, Wu Hongmao came with seven or eight acquaintances, carrying roast chicken, stewed vegetables, and the rarest beef.
Also coming with them was Xiang Dejin. As soon as he saw Jiang Zhi, he explained that he was preparing household items.
It turned out that Xiang Dejin's family knew that he had an errand at the county government, so they arranged to marry him at home.
So Xiang Dejin used the salary he got from the military service and the money borrowed from his family to find a small yard in the city and bought it at a low price, planning to get married two months later.
Jiang Zhi was a little surprised. Is it too hasty to buy a house and get married just after he found a job?
However, Xiang Dejin is not young, and is two years older than Xu Dazhu. It is reasonable for him to get married and have children. He hurriedly expressed his congratulations: "When we get married, we must send a letter to Xujiacun. We will all come to have a wedding banquet."
Xiang Dejin also knew that he was in a hurry, but after experiencing life and death, what his family looked forward to most was that he would give birth to his child as soon as possible.
In nature, when organisms encounter a survival crisis, they immediately think of reproduction.
Just like bamboo, bamboo trees bloom and wither on a massive scale on the eve of a catastrophic drought.
Bamboo blossoms and the resulting bamboo rice is edible
It is said that scientific analysis is because bamboo can sense some changes in the soil and needs to spread seeds and move to new suitable land.
In any case, reproduction is engraved in the genes of every living thing and runs throughout life. Moreover, the more difficult the living conditions, the stronger the desire for reproduction.
After several people sat down to eat together, they found an opportunity alone to ask De Jincai about the contract between Jiang Zhi and the Huo family.
He knew that Magistrate Zhang was also interested in the pills made by Aunt Jiang.
Jiang Zhi said: "Let's explore a way with the Huo family first. Later, when the county magistrate is free, we can naturally make another medicine."
Xiang Dejin nodded: "Now the new army has been stationed in Majiapu and is attacking several surrounding state capitals with all its strength. The kings of other fiefdoms have also raised troops. Many refugees have entered Ba County. Magistrate Zhang still needs to make arrangements."
Jiang Zhi suddenly understood that the refugees outside the city were not from Bajun, but from counties outside Bajun.
This is really... alas!
War is like this. Wherever it passes, lives are devastated and refugees are scattered. When there was civil strife in Ba County before, everyone ran away.
Now in Chuping, Bajun, refugees from outside have come again.
On the third day after arriving in the county seat, the Huo family finally arrived.
Looking at the shrewd and capable second lady of the Huo family next to the shopkeeper of the medicine store, Jiang Zhi was very surprised. The head of the Huo family medicine store was a woman.
No wonder Huo Yanjie and the manager had no expressions on their faces when they negotiated the contract with him.
I am used to treating everyone equally in modern times, and I have forgotten that this is still a feudal system with many restrictions on women.
Miss Huo Er smiled brightly: "Mrs. Jiang has been waiting for a long time!"
This is the first time I use AI to illustrate Jiang Zhi! hey-hey! Quite interesting.
