Huang Huanxi didn't believe this was true.
She looked at Ma Renmin in disbelief and asked, "Aren't officials scholars? Why don't they let you read newspapers?"
Ma Renmin looked at Huang Huanxi with a complicated expression and said, "Because Brother Lu is leaving!"
Lu Daotao was their financial backer. Once the financial backer left, the newspaper reading fees they had earned so easily would be gone.
These days, instead of eating unpalatable steamed buns, their family eats snow-white rice.
Brushing your teeth is no longer a tooth-damaging wicker, but a toothbrush full of fragrant toothpaste that won’t hurt your teeth.
The whole family, including the eldest son, all put on new clothes. Even the father-in-law's family, daughter and son-in-law were not left behind.
Huang Huanxi rubbed his red eyes and couldn't help but shed tears.
Do we have to go back to the old days of eating one meal and worrying the next?
Huang Huanxi couldn't understand why Lu Ludao was leaving when he had been reading the newspaper so well.
Seeing Huang Huanxi's questioning eyes, Ma Renmin sighed: "Because Luludao has attracted the attention of the Hu people, and it will be too late if we don't leave."
Huang Huanxi's face turned pale and he couldn't help but sit on the stool dejectedly.
But the words that frightened her were still to come. Ma Renmin said this: "Not only is he going to leave, but the people who listened to me reading the newspaper will also leave in all likelihood."
Huang Huanxi was shocked and immediately stood up from the stool and asked, "Where are they going?"
Ma Renmin looked at Huang Huanxi, bit his lip and said, "Jintang County, Chengdu Prefecture."
Huang Huanxi's body suddenly softened, and he immediately sat on the stool, shook his head and said: "The newspaper is obviously lies, but they also believe it?"
Ma Renmin shook his head and said, "Zhaojiazhuang used to be in Changyuan County, which was also called paradise."
When Huang Huanxi heard this, he shook his head and said, "Those illusory things are all lies."
Ma Renmin felt that this lady had too little experience after all, like a frog in the well.
But this frog in the well is very stubborn and must be convinced.
Ma Renmin lit the fairy stove with the fairy match he just bought, put in the fairy charcoal, and started to boil water.
He pointed at these and said to Huang Huanxi: "Madam, these are all made by Zhaojiazhuang."
Huang Huanxi looked at these things, shook his head and said, "Except for fairy matches, these things are not too expensive. How much money can they make?"
Ma Renmin calculated an account for her and said: "It's not much, but there are tens of millions of people in the world. How much is this number? Even if tens of millions of people are planning to buy it, there will be hundreds of thousands of coins."
Seeing Huang Huanxi lost in thought, Ma Renmin continued: "You know, you can't imagine the things made by Zhaojiazhuang. Flower fairy gouache, drunken spring breeze tea, fine jade wine, fine cloth, glazed wine cups, glazed tea cups, High-quality white paper, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc. can only be used by rich and powerful people.”
At this point, Ma Renmin counted on his fingers and said, "Zhaojiazhuang's annual income is worth millions."
Huang Huanxi covered his mouth in disbelief, and Ma Renmin continued: "Zhaojiazhuang is not building Jintang County by itself. It can be said that Zhaojiazhuang is a cornucopia, gathering together the wealth of the world."
Speaking of this, Ma Renmin said: "Zhaojiazhuang has such a money-making tool, which can bring together the wealth of the world and create a paradise on earth. If Zhaojiazhuang's millions of wealth is poured into it, it will be difficult for Jintang County not to become a paradise."
Huang Huanxi was still hesitant and said, "I heard it's thousands of miles from here to Jintang County?"
Ma Renmin sighed and shook his head and said, "I can't do it if I don't leave."
Huang Huanxi couldn't understand and asked: "The official is a native of Kaifeng, why can't he just leave?"
Ma Renmin looked at Huang Huanxi for a few times. This lady really lacked knowledge and said: "Ten Zhuangzi suddenly disappeared with thousands of people, and the government will definitely trace it. I read the newspaper as an official, and I must be responsible. If it is light, it will turn around on its own, and if it is serious, it will implicate the nine tribes." "
Huang Huanxi's face turned pale, his body went limp, and he fell to the ground weakly.
She never expected that the money would bring about the disaster of destroying her family.
Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and said, "Master, it was me who harmed you. I shouldn't have brought that harmful man named Lu to see you."
At this point, she couldn't help crying again, and beat her chest and said, "It's all my fault. It not only harmed the officials, but also harmed the whole family and the whole clan."
Ma Renmin hurriedly stopped her and said, "Madam, please don't say that. Not only is Brother Lu not a harmful person, he is also a noble official."
Huang Huanxi found it even more difficult to understand, and couldn't help but ask: "This person with the surname Lu should be cut down with a thousand cuts. He has not done enough harm to our family, so how can he be a noble person again?"
Ma Renmin hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Brother Lu is not from here, he is an old man from Zhaojiazhuang. Do you know who the young man he talks about is?"
Huang Huanxi looked at Ma Renmin blankly and asked, "Which one is it?"
Ma Renmin said with great certainty: "He is Zhao Ping, the chief administrator of Chengdu Palace. He is also the Zhao Ping who defeated an army of 100,000 Hu people. He is also the young master of Zhaojiazhuang."
Huang Huanxi looked at Ma Renmin with wide eyes in disbelief and asked, "So this Zhao Ping is so powerful."
Ma Renmin nodded, thought for a while and said: "After arriving in Jintang County, I introduced the officials through Brother Lu and met with Zhao Ping. Now that so many people have come here, it is the time to employ people. I expect there will be a good future."
Seeing that Huang Huanxi was still thinking, he said: "You only have one chance. If you lose it, you can't come back again. I'm not young anymore. I'm in my thirties. I should seize this opportunity."
Huang Huanxi nodded in confusion, and Ma Renmin said: "Besides, this is not a world for scholars. If I want to be an official, the only way out is the Song Dynasty."
Huang Huanxi covered his forehead with one hand and looked at him in a daze with the other hand and said, "Is this the only way for officials to go to Jintang County?"
Ma Renmin sighed and said, "Is there any other way out of the house? Clean up and act quickly."
Huang Huanxi was a little reluctant and hesitant to pack his things.
The next day, Ma Renmin's parents, daughter and son-in-law, eldest son's family, and father-in-law's family gathered together.
Although they left their hometown and their wells, the Hu people did not give them a way to survive. Not only did the newly married women have their first night under the care of the Hu people, but most of their income for the year was also confiscated by the Hu people.
Ma Renmin's family background is pretty good. Although he is not very capable, his parents have provided him with a good foundation.
Although he couldn't do farm work, he could still copy and write letters to get some change.
And these people in front of me not only have yellow and thin faces, but some of them even have beautified faces.
He couldn't believe his eyes. Some people didn't even have clothes, and their bodies were smeared with pot smoke ink.
No wonder I heard that Jintang County is a paradise, even if it is so far away, I still want to go there!
It is true that the barbarians are not given a way to survive, otherwise who would have taken the risk?
Moreover, I heard that each person can be allocated at least five acres of land, and there are also settlement expenses, moving expenses, early tax exemptions, etc.
However, there are a lot of expenses along the way. After all, it is thousands of miles away. Who is going to deal with this?
Huang Huanxi was extremely frightened when he saw nearly a thousand people gathered together.
The barbarians found out and took them all away. The lighter ones were whipped, and the more serious ones were beheaded.
But she was more worried that the Song Dynasty deceived them into going to Jintang County and being sold as domestic slaves. She heard that Hu people who were domestic slaves did not respect human beings at all, and their life and death were in the hands of the Hu people.
Amidst Huang Huanxi's anxiety, Lu Lutao came. He first found Ma Renmin and asked him how many people there were.
When he heard that Ma Renmin reported the number of people, he smiled and nodded, and then gave Ma Renmin the three-string number per person.
Lu Ludao announced in public that Sanguan is available to everyone, regardless of gender or age, as long as they are willing to go to Jintang County.
And this is just the cost of moving. Not only do they have to settle in Jintang County, they also have five acres of land per person.
Everyone looked at each other and hesitated when they heard that they were going to the distant Jintang County.
Someone asked, but we also have fields here, why bother to climb mountains and travel thousands of miles to other places?
Luludao took out a mechanism, and the sound spread to every corner, making these bumpkins startled.
What kind of sound transmission artifact is this? It can be heard clearly from every corner.
Lu Ludao said that the soil quality there is completely different from here. It is the land of the Land of Abundance. Not only is the yield higher than here, but it can also be planted two seasons a year.
Unlike the Central Plains, where there is only one wheat season a year, there is not only winter wheat but also summer rice.
Not only is the grain output more than twice that here, but the rice tastes better than coarse flour.
Everyone was lost in thought, whispering to each other.
Some nodded, some shook their heads.
"What, everyone has three strings, so is there a baby in the swaddling clothes?" A voice sounded from the crowd.
It turned out to be Huang Huanxi's brother Huang Huanqing who asked. He was several years older than Huang Huanxi, about forty.
Lu Lutao nodded and said of course.
Without even a cup of tea, he brought a crumpled baby with its eyes closed, probably less than a day old.
Sure enough, Huang Huanqing said sheepishly: "This is my grandson, nicknamed Dog. Is it okay?"
Ma Renmin looked at Lu Ludao, who nodded and immediately gave Huang Huanqing three passes.
"Is this person there?" Another person pulled over a blind man.
The blind man held up his cane while reaching around everywhere.
He looked towards Ma Renmin, then slowly came to Ma Renmin step by step, stretched out his hand and said, "I wonder if I am blind?"
Everyone couldn't help laughing. You may want the baby, but giving it to a blind man is a waste of food.
Not only do they not know how to work, but they also have to be served.
Ma Renmin looked at Lu Ludao. Lu Ludao looked at this person, waved his right hand and said, "Everyone wants it, everyone wants it."
The blind man Huang Huanhua took the delivery card and felt it was a piece of paper. He looked around and kept asking if it was a fake.
Not only did everyone at the scene testify, but they also brought people to prove that it was indeed the pickup card.
Tears suddenly burst out of his blind eyes, and he kowtowed respectfully and said: "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes. I didn't expect that I, a blind man, also had a share."
He wiped his tears with his sleeve and said excitedly: "Although I can't do farm work and housework, there is one thing I can do."
