Yang Qian's carriage had a lot of space, and he originally wanted to break up, but Zhang Yumeng felt that it was too boring for only two people to think about things.
So he asked everyone to stay, then took out a box from under the couch, put it on the table, and opened it.
"Look, what is this?"
Small wooden blocks appeared in front of everyone. Xiao Yu said in surprise, "Isn't this mahjong?"
"Yo? You know?" Zhang Yumeng said in surprise.
"I saw it when I went shopping with Krisna and Belika." Xiao Yu explained.
"Then you must be very skilled."
"No, actually, Belika is the most powerful among the three of us." Xiao Yu pointed at Belika and said.
Zhang Yumeng's eyes widened: "Belika, are you so powerful?"
Belika still had the same paralyzed face, "It's okay, it's not that my skills are good, it's that Krisna and Xiao Yu's skills are so bad."
"No way, I'm just not interested in mahjong." Krisna, who was strong-willed, immediately retorted.
"Okay, okay, let's play a few laps. Does Fei Lian know how to play?"
Fei Lian didn't say much, but when he suddenly saw everyone looking at him, he immediately shrank his head and said, "Okay, it's okay. Lao Chen took me through two rounds."
"Come on, come on, come and play, there will be more people and more fun."
Under Zhang Yumeng's enthusiasm, the four of them made a case table and started playing mahjong, while she herself began to discuss with Yang Gan.
Now she can't make it without the materials, so she can only check the plan repeatedly. As for the difficult task of making phone calls, she can only do it by herself.
Yang Qian couldn't even understand the most basic equations, and he didn't study chemistry-related subjects in major universities.
Thinking that the knowledge he had read in the past was quite useful, Yang Qian didn't care. As long as he could remember it now, he recorded it all in simplified Chinese characters.
The motorcade headed towards Tang State in a joyful atmosphere.
A few days later, the weather gradually warmed up, and the snow on the road was no longer as thick as when we set off.
After several days of traveling, we have almost reached the southern border.
Yang Qian leaned on the bed, closed his eyes, listened to music with headphones, and fell asleep.
Zhang Yumeng's ears were very good and he immediately stepped out of the carriage and asked Ji Wei, "What's going on?"
Ji Wei said, "Mother, since yesterday, refugees have been appearing one after another."
Zhang Yumeng looked at the homeless people with their families and disheveled faces around them, and Zhang Yumeng's expression gradually turned ugly.
He immediately returned to the carriage and shook Yang Qian, "Hey, stop listening."
Yang Qian took off his headphones and said blankly, "What's wrong?"
"Come out and see for yourself."
Yang Gan immediately followed him out. When he saw the refugees coming and going from the south, he frowned and said, "Ji Wei, who are these people?"
"Sir, these are refugees."
"I know, I'm saying, where did these people come from?"
Ji Wei touched his head and said, "Sir, I've been driving the car and haven't asked yet."
Yang Gan looked around and immediately jumped out of the car. Zhang Yumeng also jumped down. Jiwei immediately pulled the reins to make the rhinoceros stop.
The surrounding refugees hid on both sides of the official road in fear. They saw a lot of carriages, but this was the first time I saw a carriage pulled by a si.
Yang Gan blocked the way of a family of five, and saw that there was a man, an old man, and a woman in this family.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
and two children.
The five people were all dressed in very thin clothes, and the noses and cheeks of the two children were red from the cold.
When they saw Yang Qian, they obviously showed frightened expressions. The man opened his hands and tried hard to protect the family behind him with his thin body.
Yang Gan tried his best to keep his tone softer and asked, "Where are you from and why are you in such a mess?"
"Who are you, sir? We are just refugees."
Yang Gan smiled and said, "Don't be so vigilant. This place is close to Yanggu Pass and is an important border area of Xia Kingdom. I was just curious to see so many refugees staying here, so I came here to ask."
Zhang Yumeng helped, "Yes, we are not bad people, we are just curious."
Seeing that Yang Gan spoke well and Zhang Yumeng didn't look like a bad guy, the man gradually lowered his guard and said, "We are not from the Xia Kingdom, we are from the Shang Kingdom."
"Shang Guo? Aren't you stopped at the border?"
"Sir, you don't know something. The border has always been open to refugees, and Xia and Shang are not at war at this time. As long as we don't stay at the border, we can enter without weapons." The man said respectfully.
"Why would you want to come to Xia Kingdom if you don't want to wait for your hometown?"
The man said sadly, "Sir, as long as we can stay here, why would we go all the way to Xia Kingdom? This year there is a shortage of grain in Shang State, and the imperial court continues to collect grain, we can no longer survive."
"Bian, there are already people eating two-legged meat at the border. We are really scared. I heard that the food harvest in Xia Country this year is not a bumper, but it is still okay. I want to come here to make a living."
Yang Gan was extremely shocked. Zhang Yumeng asked, "What is the meat of two feet? How can you starve to death if you can still eat meat?"
Yang Qian stopped Zhang Yumeng directly, "Oh~~~Don't ask any more questions."
Yang Qian rolled his eyes and immediately thought about it.
"Then where are you going?"
The man said, "We plan to visit the nearest Guan County."
Yang Qian said with a pity look on his face, "We just came from Guan County, but it's a pity that Guan County has a bad harvest this year."
The man was shocked, "Huh? What should we do? We only brought half a month's worth of food. After eating, won't the five of us have to wait to die?"
Yang Gan said, "I have a suggestion, I don't know whether I should make it or not?"
The man immediately held up his hands and said, "Please tell me."
"We have been traveling around the Xia Kingdom and seeing the scenery everywhere. In fact, the entire Xia Kingdom does not have much more food than Shang Kingdom, but only in Yuntong County, there is enough food. I heard that their county governor has A Zhuangzi is short of manpower at this time."
"Yuntong County?"
At this time, the old man came over and said, "I know Yuntong County. I heard that their Lord Commander, who wiped out the Xiongnu tribe, is the best general in the world. Can we, Lord, enter his Zhuangzi?" Going?"
Yang Qian suddenly blushed, "Damn, it sounds so beautiful."
"To be honest, the Sheriff is my best friend. He has been opening up wasteland in his village recently and is short of manpower. I wonder if you are interested."
The old man looked at the young man, and the old man raised his hands and said, "I don't know how much the Yuntong County Sheriff's rent is, whether it is 70% or 60%. If it is too high, I'm afraid I won't be able to support my family. "
Yang Gan raised his brows and spoke in a longer voice, "So you don't know~~~ The county governor is very loyal and cares about the livelihood of the tenant farmers, so he only charges 30% of the tenant rent, and also provides cattle and farm tools. There’s just one condition.”
Hearing what Yang Gan said, the five people were immediately shocked, "Sir, the governor really offers such a low rent? What are the conditions for joining?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
"
"Oh, the conditions are quite harsh." Yang Qian gave it a try, raised the corners of his mouth, and fell into the trap.
"Sir, please tell me."
"That means you can't go back to your homeland, and you can't tell anyone what you saw inside. If you are found to be a stranger, you will be executed."
The five people suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and the old man said happily, "Sir, this condition is not a condition at all. I have no intention of going back after my family comes here. If we go back, something may happen." .”
Yang Gan nodded and asked the groom to pack five bags of grain and hand them to the five people. "Zhuangzi is short of manpower right now. I hope you can gather more refugees when you go along the way."
The five people were carrying heavy amounts of food, and the old man grabbed a handful and looked at it carefully. The young man said, "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely let the refugees along the way go to Yuntong County."
Yang Gan took a piece of paper and pen and wrote down what happened, stamped it with his county guard's seal, and handed it to them.
"This is?"
"This is the certificate, otherwise it would not be so easy for you, as Masters, to enter Yuntong County."
The old man nodded, "Sir, how many people should I recruit? If there are too many, I wonder if Zhuangzi can support them until the spring plowing and harvest?"
Yang Gan laughed and joked, "How many people can you recruit?"
"Young master, I'm a little old man. Although I'm just a tenant farmer, I still have some prestige in my hometown. It's no problem to recruit hundreds of people."
"Ah? It's just a little bit. As far as I know, the county governor's village has a good harvest and there is almost no food left. Even if you call in 10,000 people, you can still feed them."
The old man looked happy and said, "I will definitely complete what the young master has assigned me."
Yang Gan nodded, and the family of five pulled the car towards Yuntong County.
Zhang Yumeng looked at the backs of the five people and sighed, "People these days are quite simple."
Yang Gan smiled coldly, "Simple? The other people are very simple, but the two men are not simple at all. They have experience and have seen the world. If I hadn't made the conditions, they might not believe it."
Zhang Yumeng was surprised and said, "Is there any?"
"Haha, let's go. Try to get to Yanggu Pass today and leave tomorrow."
"Let's go."
The two got on the carriage and set off towards the pass.
On the official road, the couple kept talking about the wonderful future, and the rent was only 30%. Such a low rent, let alone in Shangguo, had never even been thought of in this life.
After a while, the young man frowned and said, "Dad, do you think what the young man said just now is true?"
"it is true."
"Dad, I think this is a little too smooth."
The old man nodded, "My son is very thoughtful, and I think it's true. Firstly, although this person looks like a boy or a girl, he is personable and upright. Secondly, I have seen the situation of the corn. The corn this person gave us is just like a grain of rice." The grains are full, and judging from the situation of the grain, it is reasonable to say that Yuntong County has a good harvest."
"Then should we call in more people?"
"Yes, since the young master has helped us so much, we must not let him down."
"I know, Dad."
A few hours later, as the sky gradually darkened, the group arrived at Yanggu Pass. A group of soldiers saw a huge carriage pulled by a cow.
Dozens of soldiers pointed their halberds at the carriage.
"Who is coming?"
