After many days of traveling, the two siblings finally saw the pier on the shore, where hundreds of ships of all sizes were lined up. The sight was extremely shocking.
After the two got off the passenger ship, they ate some snacks and rushed to Jianye City. This city is indeed the largest city in Chu District. You can't see east and west. There are millions of residents in the city. The procession entering the city There was a long queue, as far as the eye could see.
Since Sun Xiangman had the Jiefanying token, they could enter the city directly without queuing up. This immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the people lining up behind them. Before they could curse, they were scolded by the general who defended the city. The people behind him Then I realized that the two siblings in front of me were privileged people. As ordinary people, we couldn't fight with them, so we had to keep our mouths shut.
After walking through Wengcheng, the two siblings finally arrived at Jianye City. Wang Qizhi was immediately stunned by the prosperity here. The wide streets in the city extended in all directions, filled with pedestrians and driving vehicles. Looking around, you can see so many big streets everywhere. The pavilions and majestic buildings made Wang Qizhi unable to calm down for a long time, like a native leopard who had never seen the world.
"Sister, is this really the capital of Chu Di? It feels like reaching the Heavenly Palace."
Sun Xiangman did not show ridicule for Wang Qizhi's performance. When she first came to this city, she behaved even more excessively than this boy.
Sun Xiangman slapped his brother on the head and said, "Let's go!"
Wang Qizhi asked doubtfully: "Where to go?"
"Of course I'm going to sign up for the trouble relief camp."
Hearing this, Wang Qizhi became a little unhappy and said, "Can we go shopping and buy some things before signing up?"
Sun Xiangman did not give this boy a chance to discuss, and took him towards the palace.
On the road, the two siblings saw many homeless beggars, including old people, children, and even many young people. Wang Qizhi didn't quite understand. These old people and children were too weak to work, so begging was a good thing. It's original, but those young people have hands and feet, and even if they do some hard work, their life is better than now. Why do they take this path? Is it because they are lazy?
In response, Sun Xiangman shook his head and explained that the reason why these young people embarked on this path of begging was not because they were lazy, but because they were forced to do so.
Now is the time of trouble. Many people's hometowns have been burned down, and local officials and gentry have robbed them, leaving them homeless. Therefore, these people have to flee around.
According to the laws of Chu, people in various places are not allowed to run around. Unless they have customs clearance documents and corresponding documents, even if they escape to other places, no boss dares to ask for them, so these people have nowhere to go and become homeless. The people are very pitiful.
Wang Qizhi was walking on the road and asked with some confusion: "Is this the only way out for them? Won't they go back again?"
Sun Xiangman smiled helplessly and said: "Go back? Brother, you are thinking too simply. First of all, their hometown has been destroyed and their fields have been taken away. Even if they go back, they will not be able to survive. Furthermore, if they really go back, those officials will let them go." Pass them?"
Wang Qizhi looked at this group of beggars with sallow faces and skinny muscles, and felt a little uncomfortable, "Don't these officials care about the life and death of these people?"
Sun Xiangman sneered, "These people in power only do corruption. Who will care about the life and death of these untouchables?"
Hearing the word "untouchable", Wang Qizhi was instantly filled with anger and sympathy. Since those officials didn't care about it, he had to take care of it. He took out the bag of golden beans from his sleeve and was about to distribute them to these beggars, but Sun Xiangman stopped him. He grabbed him and said, "There are so many of them, and your money can only help them for a while, but it won't help them forever."
Wang Qizhi didn't care so much and broke away from his sister's hands, "It's better to help a little than not to help at all."
Then Wang Qizhi distributed the golden beans one by one until they were all distributed.
After these beggars got the golden beans, their eyes were filled with gratitude.
Wang Qizhi didn't stay too long, and took his sister and left. The beggars looked at the young man's figure, and many of them shed tears.
As Sun Xiangman walked away, he said: "Good boy, you really do good deeds without leaving a name. Could it be that you are really the legendary good man?"
Wang Qizhi rolled his eyes at his sister, "I'm not that good. But when I saw them, I remembered myself back then. If it weren't for Wu...that little girl who helped me, I wouldn't be alive today."
As expected, those beggars did not feast and feast when they got the golden beans. Instead, they exchanged money and went directly to the government to exchange for customs clearance documents and corresponding documents.
The official's eyes shone when he saw the silver. He didn't care about Chu's laws and regulations, and directly exchanged them with customs clearance documents and residence documents. With these things, these beggars can settle down here. In the future, we no longer need to be afraid of being driven away by those soldiers.
After getting the documents, those young people immediately found jobs. Some carried large bags at the dock, and some worked as waiters in restaurants. They gradually settled down in Jianye City.
As for the elderly and children, with the help of their fellow villagers, they can survive here. Even if they beg, they can walk on the streets openly and ask for food without any problem.
Sun Xiangman said: "Abandon it, you gave them all the money, how will you live next?"
Unexpectedly, this boy patted his chest and said: "Sister, there is still a lot of silver here. It was my master, Zhu Gongdao, who gave me a lot of gold at the beginning, and the silver in exchange has not been spent much yet. You don’t have to worry about that.”
Sun Xiangman breathed a sigh of relief. He would receive a high salary of two taels of silver every month if he joined the understanding camp, but what if this kid failed? What should we do in the future? You can’t go hungry! Since this guy still had money, she was relieved.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the two finally arrived at the registration place for the Jiefan Camp. Wang Qizhi looked around, but there was no registration place, only a deserted eunuch registration office.
Although being a eunuch is a fat job, you will get a lot of salary every month, and there is a lot of extra income, but no man wants to throw away his life and become a weirdo, let alone not taste it for the rest of his life. The taste of womanhood.
Wang Qizi pointed at the registration office and asked with a look of disbelief on his face: "Sister, are you kidding me? That's where eunuchs are recruited."
Sun Xiangman said seriously: "No kidding, that's the Jiefan Camp recruitment office."
Hearing this, Wang Qizi refused to go and started yelling, "I'm not married yet, and I don't want to become a eunuch."
People around him have long been accustomed to this.
