In the case of empathy, people's emotions are easily infected.
The muffled sobs coming from the bullock cart made the walkers' noses sore and their eyes swollen.
The men were fine, but their eyes were filled with tears, while most of the women were in tears.
No one had gone two miles away. Li Qinghua, who was following Li Yuan's carriage, shouted to stop.
After everyone stopped, they saw him with a sullen face and scolding loudly: "What are you all doing? If you don't know, you would think you are crying. Why are you crying? Why are you crying?" It’s a good thing that we can leave safely and have a better future. If you really can’t bear to leave, then stay. It depends on God’s will whether you will live or die!”
Everyone who was still feeling sad heard this and quickly wiped away their tears. They all said no, they were just reluctant to let go, but they would not cry anymore!
As the head of the village and the clan leader, Li Qinghua was riding in a carriage given by Li Yuan.
At this time, he stood on the shaft of the carriage, looked around at everyone, and then said encouragingly: "The clan is taking you away this time, not only to save your lives, but also for the sake of your future heirs. The big merchants from the capital are in Luyang Mansion. Lanxia City in Lanxia City has bought two mountains and will build tea gardens in the future. As soon as we arrive there, our household registration will be registered there, and we will work in the tea gardens from now on. In addition, the clan will choose smarter people to learn how to make tea. , selling tea. These are all crafts."
"Shao'an and Yuan Niang have discussed that in a few years, after we learn how to do it, we will use part of our silver to buy a hill and give it to the clan. The clan will distribute the money earned by that time to everyone at the end of the year. In addition to In addition, I also learned that we can open up wasteland on our own. There is no need to pay taxes on the cultivated land for the first three years. Think about it, when you are a tea farmer, you are helping out and you get paid. Except for the time when you are working, The rest is yours. Life is no worse than ours in Lijia'ao."
The Li clan members who were still a little confused about the future had a goal after hearing these words, and they became much more energetic.
But those who were not from the Li clan asked: "Chief, what you just said is beneficial to you, the Li clan. What about us, those of us with foreign surnames, what will we do then?"
Li Qinghua had known for a long time that someone would ask this question, so he replied: "When I went to Lanxia City, the work was the same. When the time comes to buy the household registration, I will tell the local officials to allocate a large piece of land for us. , we are still the same village. Whether you are originally from Lijia'ao, or you are the married daughter of the Li family and the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family, in short, we will all be from the same village in the future. Yuan Niang and the others will be there The mountain I bought belongs to my Lijia'ao, and the money I earn back will be divided according to the contribution of each household."
Everyone present knew that Li Qinghua always kept his word, and with his words, everyone felt at ease.
Li Qinghua added: "We have a lot of people leaving this time. If you don't want to be together in the same village, you can separate later. But in this way, after a few years, the mountains bought by Shao'an and Yuan Niang will be earned by then." The money has nothing to do with you."
"Chief, we all know that we will never separate. Wherever the Lijia'ao is, we will be there."
They were neither fools nor blind, so how could they not see the capabilities and backing of Li Yuan and his wife.
Didn't you see that their guide was from the General Protector's Mansion?
Didn't you see the carriage prepared by the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion for Li Yuan?
I heard that there were several guards waiting at the farewell booth.
Li Yuan and Xie Yanzhi have so many backers, and she is so oriented towards her parents' family.
They can only benefit from it if they are from Lijia'ao!
Because Li Qinghua painted a big pie, no, he didn't paint a big pie, but he told them the truth, which made everyone look forward to the future.
With this hope, everyone started on their way again.
After the sun sets, the sky gradually darkens.
Fortunately, the moon and stars were sparse, and everyone was familiar with the road to Liuyun County, so nothing went wrong.
It’s just that the means of transportation are limited. In order to cope with those who walk pushing their belongings, whether it is a horse-drawn carriage or an ox-cart, they all move extremely slowly.
By the time we arrived at the farewell pavilion, it was already midnight.
When the five guards sent by the Marquis of Zhenguo saw Li Yuan, they said, "Ms. Li, from left to right, we call you Zhou Zi, Zhou Chou, Zhou Yin, Zhou Mao, and Zhou Chen. It was Mrs. Hou who ordered me to wait here. , Escort Lady Li and others to Luyang Mansion."
The person who spoke was Zhou Zi, who was also the leader of the five guards.
When he said this, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yuan: "This letter is from the third young lady to Madam Li!"
Li Yuan reached out to take it, and with the help of the oil lamp Wang Can lit, she tore open the letter sealed with beeswax.
After reading it clearly, it said that my mother, who was always sick in bed, became much better after taking the miraculous life-saving water given by her aunt.
Later, after asking about the origin of the miracle doctor's life-saving water, he had a very good impression of her, and then sent someone to escort her, return the banknotes, etc.
In addition, he said that his brother-in-law was also very grateful to her because of his mother's relationship.
Ask her to visit the Marquis Mansion more often when she is in the capital.
What's more, Qian Tong's sentence was executed by the Ministry of Punishment through the operation of Chen's and Hou's mansions, and he was beheaded at the end of May.
Even Mr. Zheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was also pulled down and waited.
Li Yuan read the letter, handed it to Wang Can, and said to Zhou Zi: "You guys just follow Bai Yan's instructions!"
"yes!"
After Bai Yan saw Li Yuan, Zhou Zi and others finished speaking, he took out a map from his arms, spread it out and said to her: "Ms. Li, this is a topography map I drew myself. You see, Liuyun County is so big. Our Lijia'ao is located here. If we want to get out of Liuyun County, it is actually the fastest way to take the official road. But there are so many of us, and there are so many people pushing carts, it is an uphill road, and the speed is faster than Ordinary people walk much slower. According to the current walking distance, there is no one who cannot walk out in two days."
Every time Li Yuan goes to Fucheng, she takes a carriage and takes the official road, and she knows the topography of Liuyun County outside.
She looked at the topography map, nodded and asked: "What about outside? After leaving Liuyun County and entering Liufeng County, how do we go? Liufeng County is larger than Liuyun County, and the roads are flat. As far as I know, , it’s very chaotic on both sides of the official road outside..."
"The official road cannot be used! To tell you the truth, Liuyun County was not affected much due to the heavy snow and cold wave last year. Now this place is the hot spot in the eyes of those people. If it were not for the edge of Liuyun County, your Zhang Shaotou would lead people Stay there, those people have already rushed into Liuyun County."
"Although there is a drought in many places in Xinyang Prefecture, people will go to places where there is no shortage of water. But in fact, the drought is not particularly bad. There is still sufficient water in places near the Dayun River, especially in Liufeng County. They What is lacking is food and money."
Wang Can, who was silent on the side, asked: "Since they are close to the Dayun River and have water, they can grow food. How can they still be short of food and have to grab it?"
