Wang Can hasn't gone out yet and is listening to Caiwei and Qingsha reciting hundreds of surnames in the main room.
Seeing Xie Yanzhi walking out in a hurry, Li Yuan also came out of the kitchen not long after, and asked, "Sister Yuan, what's going on with Xie Xiucai? I saw his eyebrows were furrowed and his face seemed a little heavy."
Since the two children were still there, Li Yuan didn't say anything clearly, she just said vaguely: "I told him about the weather!"
Wang Can understood instantly, and then asked: "So, is Xie Xiucai going out to make arrangements?"
"Well, I brought some pancakes and said I won't be back for lunch at noon. I guess they have to discuss it."
Li Yuan said this, and then said: "Can Niang, I suddenly remembered that there must be a road guide when going out. I need to go back to Lijia'ao to see the ward chief to apply. After they verify that everything is correct, I will submit it to the county government. Come for public inspection.”
Before the famine came in Wang Can's last life, he had always stayed in Shuiyun Village and never traveled far.
When the famine comes, everyone flees. They are disaster victims and refugees, and there are so many of them that there is no way to guide them.
She had forgotten about it. If she hadn't heard Li Yuan mention it, she wouldn't have remembered it at all.
At this time, she only saw a look of surprise on her face: "Sister Yuan, do you know what this road guide looks like? If you go back and apply now, and then the Yamen will have to publicize it again, won't it have to be delayed forever? In that case, there is still time. ?"
Li Yuan knew that she was afraid that the Yamen process would be delayed and that she would not be able to make it back before it started snowing.
"The chief of the Lijia'ao area is Li Qinghua, the head of our Li clan. It's easier for me to apply to him and there is no need to check. After that, when I go to the Yamen, I ask Brother Xie to find someone to help with the accommodation. It shouldn't take that long. As for the road guide I know what it is like."
When Li Yuan said this, she thought about it carefully and then said it.
“I saw my father when I was young, before he became a scholar.
When applying for a road guide, please indicate your name, male or female, age, place of origin and address.
Where to go and when to come back. Is there anyone traveling with you? How old is that person and what is his or her name? Do you have anything else to bring?
For example, if you drive a car by yourself, whether it is a cow or a horse, a male or a female, and what color the coat is.
The most important thing is to describe the physical characteristics of the person. For example, if it's a man, just how tall he is, whether he has a beard, and what face shape he has, such as a square face or a round face. Then, are there any marks on the face, what is the skin color, is it fat or thin..."
Wang Can's scalp felt numb after hearing this, and he felt extremely complicated.
But we also know that if there is no way to lead, we cannot go far, otherwise we will be held accountable according to the law.
Looking at her face, Li Yuan knew what she was thinking, so she added: "This is only for ordinary people. If there are nobles or people from official families, they will have special tokens.
When entering or exiting the city or traveling far away, all you need to do is show your token. Another example is Brother Xie. He is a scholar and has scholar documents. He only needs to take the documents with him wherever he goes. "
When Wang Can heard this, he looked thoughtful and asked, "When Brother Junzi goes out as a escort, does he also need to be guided?"
"Well, he is working for the Escort Bureau. The Escort Agency will help solve the problem of the road guide. He does not have to do it himself. Of course, if the journey is not far, there is no need for a road guide. Only if it exceeds a certain range, there must be one. Otherwise, they will be counted as fugitives and will be dealt with according to the law."
Wang Can's scalp went numb when he thought about escaping from famine in the future.
If I leave early, how should I deal with this route?
It would be great if her brother Junzi was a scholar. Then she would write down where to visit friends and how long it would take.
With this in mind, she looked at Li Yuan: "Sister Yuan, let's discuss this with you."
"Well, tell me!"
Wang Can glanced at Caiwei and Qingsha who were staring at her, and after asking them to agree obediently, he took Li Yuan into Ma's room.
After the door was closed, he deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Sister Yuan, I think Xie Xiucai has a good fortune. If you marry him, will you see if you can let him settle down in Hedong County?
He is talented, so he will go to school there to continue his studies, and he will settle there by the way. By then, Junzi and I, as well as the people from Laozhai, will join you. Go back and leave as early as possible, Lu Yin will write to visit relatives, and then stay longer, try to avoid that period of time. "
Li Yuan knew that in "The Brilliant Life of a Reborn Peasant Girl", it was written that the famine and plague in Liuyun County lasted for more than half a year.
It was just the first winter after the heroine Wang Can was reborn that she met the hero here.
Then the famine came, so I followed him to the capital.
After that, she never described the affairs in Liuyun County in detail, so she was not very clear about the situation in Liuyun County later.
At this time, I heard Wang Can mention Hedong County and asked: "Hedong County is adjacent to our Xinyang Mansion. But our Xinyang Mansion is very big, and there are ten counties below it. Can Niang, the disaster in the coming year will be so big Is it serious? Has it spread to the whole city?"
Wang Can recalled what happened in his previous life, his eyes full of fear, but he still told the truth.
"Well, it was mainly caused by the plague. In the last life, we people managed to get all the way to Xinyang Mansion, but we couldn't enter the city. The gate of the city was closed tightly. I don't know why, but the plague still spread in. After that, people were infected every day Carry it out and burn it. In order to survive, I had no choice but to keep walking. Later, when I got all the way to Hedong County, the situation was much better."
Li Yuan couldn't bear to hear this topic, and her heart was heavy.
Her reason told herself that since she knew this, she should run away quickly.
But the emotion of the original owner said that this was her home and her roots. Running away will not solve the problem.
The best policy is to solve the drought, then floods, and take epidemic prevention measures.
But how to solve the drought? In this era, science and technology are backward, and there are no projects such as South-to-North Water Diversion.
Even if there is, Liuyun County or Xinyang Prefecture is located in the south, so it is supposed to be a place with a lot of rain all year round.
If there is a tune, it is also adjusted from here to somewhere else.
What's more, the location here belongs to the lower reaches of Liuyun River.
After several days of heavy rain, the river cannot be dredged, and flooding is inevitable, not to mention flash floods and dam breaks upstream.
Thinking of this, her brain ached. But we also know that we must not sit still and wait for death.
If we are to stay, these issues must be addressed.
If he were to leave, would he take the children with him, brother Wang Can and the others, or would the old man follow, or would he take the whole clan with him?
No matter which choice you make, it’s still a big problem!
Forget it, take it one step at a time, think about what to do now, solve the snowstorm and stocking up first.
Regardless of whether you leave or not, stocking up is inevitable!
Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Can.
"Canniang, it's still too early to talk about settling down in Hedong County. We'll talk about it later. I have to go back to Lijia'ao in a while. You are busy here too, or I can take Caiwei and Qingsha home directly.
When the time comes, let the sisters live with their uncle at home. If you are free, or if Junzi is free, it will be the same if you bring him over again. "
