Outside Tian'an County, there was a huge buzz of people.
Outside the city gate stood crowds of government officials and county soldiers holding torches, with swords unsheathed, bows strung, crossbows and spears, all in clear posture.
They were not targeting demons, demons, or enemies of the Northern Kingdom, but they were standing at the door, targeting the displaced victims.
The rising fireworks are a by-product of the fire burning inside the stove to cook hot porridge. There were boiling hot porridge in several large pots held by three people, and a group of people dressed as servants were serving porridge there.
"The Zhou family in Tian'an has porridge, and the country in Daliang is peaceful and the people are safe."
"The Shen family in Tian'an has porridge, and the sea in Daliang is clear."
"The Wu family in Tian'an will make porridge, and the whole world will be at peace."
... Flags and flags of various colors, regardless of whether the refugees were literate or not, were hung on the porridge shed, with words of praise written on them, praising the compassion of the people who gave up the porridge and the perfection of the world.
The displaced refugees are like ants who have lost their nest, huddled together in a mess. Their faces were all numb, they hugged each other and sat there quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.
There are shops next to the porridge shed. The people dressed in charge and their servants sit comfortably on the chairs, holding a bowl of hot porridge in their hands. From time to time, they take a sip while it is hot, and they are loyal to their respective masters.
"Your land will definitely have no harvest this year. Let's just say that the current market is either haunted by monsters or haunted by ghosts. Who can guarantee a good harvest next year?" A steward said to the woman in front of him: "More Don't tell me that you have no man and your child is still young. How will you live in the future?"
"This means our owner is kind-hearted. You can sell the land to our owner and use the money to go to other states and live the same life, right?"
"That's three acres of good irrigated land. I can't buy even one acre without Wu Guan. What you gave me is too little."
"Sister-in-law, if it were a normal year, there would indeed be less Wu Guan. But what kind of year is it now? Always is always the same. Either way, sister-in-law, go back and wash up, come back to me tonight, and I will ask the master to add some for you tomorrow. .”
"You stupid bastard, you have plotted against me. Why don't you go to your mother?"
"Come on, come on, drag this crazy bitch down. Damn it, I respect you. How many people want to take it off but don't get the chance."
It was a mess, and a group of government officials came up and dragged the woman down.
"The girl is quite pretty. How old are you, thirteen? Her waist looks good."
In another place, the steward's eyes looked at the girl in front of him like a hawk.
A numb middle-aged man held the girl's hand, the corners of his eyes were dry.
"Let's be clear about the ugly things first. Brother, we in Daliang are not allowed to adopt slaves. Anyone who disobeys the order will be sent to the army."
The steward reached out and squeezed the girl's butt hard. The thirteen-year-old child did not cry and had a pleasing smile on her face.
"Take her in, not as a slave, but as a foster daughter." The steward nodded with satisfaction: "I understand, just put your fingerprints on the paper."
The man didn't speak, he just silently put cinnabar on the yellow paper and pressed his fingerprints.
"The gift money for adopting a daughter is two pennies. Look carefully. These are fine copper coins, not the rotten iron coins used today. After deducting forty cents of paper money, you can count the rest by yourself. number."
The steward took out a few pennies from the plate next to him.
"Dad, don't cry. My daughter is here to enjoy the blessings. At least she won't have to starve. You can take her grandma, mother, and sister away. My daughter is out of the sea of suffering. This is a great joy..."
The girl was smiling, but her tears kept flowing down.
The man said nothing and silently picked up the money from the plate. He turned his head to look at his daughter, raised his right hand, and slapped himself hard.
Su Che rode forward slowly, with Lu Bai beside him.
"Does this young master want to enter the city?"
On the edge of the avenue, a government official came to greet him.
There was a shortage of horses in the Southern Dynasties, and a good horse could not be deceived. Those who could ride a big horse to ride in the officialdom were either rich or noble. If they were not in this category, they would be heroes and thieves who could not be offended.
"Why, is the city closed?"
Su Che looked at their spears, axes, and strong bows and crossbows, and suddenly felt that he was walking on the ancient battlefield of Monk Plains.
The people outside the door are not refugees, but barbarians who want to crush China.
"The city is not closed, but you have to pay fifteen cents to enter the city."
The yamen officer smiled and said: "In this peaceful world, where the sea and rivers are clear, how can we seal the city?"
"I'm from Jiankang, what's going on?"
Suche pointed to the side.
"Well, three years of drought and three years of floods are commonplace."
Su Che took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and gently threw them on the ground. With the blessing of his spiritual thoughts, thirty copper coins stood firmly on the ground, stacked one by one.
"Young Master is very clever."
The officer picked up the copper coins and signaled to the people around him to let them go.
These methods only prevent refugees without money from entering the city, but they cannot stop those with property.
Suche pinched the horse's belly and entered the city.
What stirs up the yin energy in the sky is the resentment of the people. The connection between heaven and man is the foundation of why practitioners can practice.
Immortal Immortal's magical power can change the color of heaven and earth, and the boiling resentment of thousands of people will naturally affect heaven and earth.
For a short period of time, it is just the manifestation of Yin Qi, but for a long time, Yin objects and demons will even appear and bring disaster to the area.
That’s why the ancient sage kings had the saying “Submit Heaven and Respond to People.”
In fact, God's will can inspire people's hearts, and public opinions can turn into God's will.
The streets in Tianan County are far more prosperous than those in Guobei and Shanyin counties. In fact, to be fair, Cizhou, where Huang Tian Taoist leader, Zhong Yuan and others rose, is indeed a blessed land.
The water and soil are rich and the fields are fertile. Because the mountains and rivers are arranged in an orderly manner, even natural disasters are much less than other places. Except for Guobei and Shanyin, which are built in demon dens, the other counties are typical land of plenty.
Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. With food, all industries will naturally prosper. Tian'an County is located next to the official road from Cizhou to Jiankang. It is also the main trade route for Cizhou's grain to be exported to other places. It really deserves the word "wufu and people are prosperous".
"Are you two from Jiankang?" A waiter greeted: "What a good horse. Don't let those people outside disturb your interest. We are in peace in Tianan."
As soon as Su Che and Lu Bai entered the city, some waiters came to solicit business. One said that my wine was good and the bed was soft, and the other said that my horse feed did not require cash. He said that his girls were fair and moist. What do you think? The dishes at my home are the best in Cizhou.
The prosperity inside the city and the depression outside the city are two extremes, forming a sharp contrast.
Suche ignored these people and led Lu Bai straight into the city.
Tiqi installed agents in Tian'an County and opened a silk and satin shop as a disguise.
