Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

After the beginning of spring, the earth warmed up, the dead trees sprout, and the land was thriving. The dead beggars on the street had long been cleaned up. The small vendors took to the streets one after another, as if the tragedies of winter did not exist, and it is still a peaceful and prosperous age.

But there are fewer casual workers on the street, and instead there are more beggars.

Two and two are packing their things and they are moving to Zhuangzi. Although the staff dormitory has not been built yet, the small courtyards for one entry and one exit have been built. Originally, Lin Yuan thought it would take a while, but the craftsman’s speed was faster than he thought. It's even faster.

Youzhuang is already on the right track. Basically, it is enough to read the account book once a month, and Jiang Gui can also help.

Since the oil farm has received more and more money and Jiang Gui's dividend has also increased, Jiang Gui has regarded the oil farm as an old hen who can lay eggs. Every day, he will go to see it. After reading it, he will go to drink two or two wines. , Jiang Gui was too beautiful during this time.

Siniang and the others are also cleaning up, after all, they have lived for a few months, and they have bought quite a few things.

Jiang Gui also came to talk to Lin Yuan.

"Now we are leaving, the three of us, no, four brothers, the three of you are all over there, but I will keep it." Jiang Gui sighed, a little depressed, "If I didn't work in the yamen, I would also follow you. Went together."

Lin Yuan: "Don't say that, third brother, you have to rely on your brother to watch things about Youzhuang."

Jiang Gui packs a ticket: "That's for sure, you will never make the fourth brother lose a little bit, otherwise I will write Jiang Gui's name upside down."

Jiang Gui is a wise man, he knows current affairs, talks to others and talks to others, he can't make a sharp mouth.

"You gather more people over there." Jiang Gui whispered, "I see that the world is going to be chaotic. If there are more people, I can protect myself. Then I will ask someone to bring you some hoes. Guy."

Lin Yuan was taken aback. Everyone could see that the world was going to be chaotic, but most people would think that "maybe it won't be chaotic," and they would still live their lives without the fire reaching the door. Scared.

"Third brother, don't worry." Lin Yuan patted Jiang Gui on the shoulder, "By the end of next year, the granary is full, and third brother will come over."

Jiang Gui sighed: "Look again then."

Staying in Wucheng, there is a city wall, although it is short and broken, but the broken city wall is also a city wall.

Moreover, there are guards in Wucheng. If you encounter desperate bandits and refugees outside, there is no way to stop them.

But Jiang Gui also knew Lin Yuan's thoughts. The place did not shit, and there were no people around. There were rivers in front and mountains behind. If there is anything wrong, hiding in the mountains can save your life.

But as a last resort, Jiang Gui didn't want to live like that.

No one wants to live the days of wandering and losing home.

Lin Yuan didn't persuade him, after all, Jiang Gui was not stupid. If it was time to escape, Jiang Gui would still defect to him.

"Third brother, don't have to give it away." Lin Yuan got in the bullock cart. Now Wucheng can't buy horses. There are oxen. Although it's slower, it's better than walking.

For this car, Lin Yuan also specially hired a coachman-although he drove a cow, but the bullock driver didn't call it smoothly, so he called the coachman.

Jiang Gui stood by the city wall, watching the bullock cart that Lin Yuan was sitting in farther and farther.

The soldier guarding the city gate next to him knew him and said with a grin: "You are like a young lady who sent her husband out. Everyone has gone, so watch."

Jiang Gui stretched out his hand to pat the young soldier on the head: "I want you to talk nonsense! I will find your chief so that you can guard the gate for a lifetime!"

The little soldier was not afraid of him, and still said with a hippie smile: "Brother Jiang, I heard that you have recently made a fortune?"

Jiang Gui: "What are you getting rich? Where did you hear the bastard? If I get rich, I'm still talking to you here? I would have ordered a table of good dishes in the restaurant a long time ago."

The little soldier thought about it. He sat aside and picked up the bowl, drank his saliva, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and said, "I heard that there has been a disturbance in the north."

Jiang Gui's eyes widened: "What?"

Xiaobing: "I heard from my cousin earlier that it seemed that a lot of people had died and had a disease."

Jiang Gui was taken aback: "Human plague?"

Xiaobing: "It is said that several cities have been closed down, and many people fled south, and I don't know how many will be fleeing again this time."

Jiang Gui was startled, and when he left, he said to himself: "Look again, look again."

If there really is an escape from the north, he doesn't want to go to Lin Yuan, he has to go.

Although the bullock cart is not as fast as a horse cart, it is more stable than a horse cart. Lin Yuan sat on the bullock cart and felt that his internal organs were about to be turned upside down. The bullock cart was stable, and the road was unstable. Cement ground, there is no asphalt road, just ordinary mud, if you don't take the official road, the road will be worse.

The bullock cart stopped at noon to make Lin Yuan take a rest.

Lin Yuan ate a cake. The cake was baked by Siniang. It was big and fragrant. It used a lot of oil and didn't dry at all. Lin Yuan and the others would eat one. The coachman would eat two, and the coachman was a good one. Young, very tall and thin, but without lack of energy, he chewed on the fragrant cakes and said, "It will take four more hours."

For eight hours, Lin Yuan was desperate inside.

The coachman took a bite of the cake, ate a bite of pickles, poured another sip of water, and said with satisfaction: "My boss, I have never seen anyone more generous than you." After driving a bullock cart for so many years, he encountered this for the first time. The boss gave him two pancakes to eat.

Driving a car is hard work, where are so many people who can afford to ride a car?They all walk on two legs.

Rich people have their own ox carts and carts, do they need him?

Only foreign merchants would rent bullock carts. The merchants did not treat him harshly, but at most they gave him two mixed noodle buns. Pickles were unnecessary. Now he has oil cakes. He made up his mind not to eat oil cakes at night. If you hold it in your arms, the oil cake is not easy to break, so you can take it back to the mother-in-law and the children.

Lin Yuan sat under the tree for a while, and Erliang went with the dog to pick up wild fruits in the forest not far away.

"This is a snake fruit, delicious." Gouzi picked up a few small fruits, very small, dark red, some of them rotten.

Two and two picked one up, wiped it and put it in his mouth, and two and two stuck out his tongue: "It's a bit astringent."

The dog laughed at him: "You are not used to it yet."

Si Niang watched from the side with a smile on her face. She looks much smaller now than when Lin Yuan met her.

Lin Yuan also suddenly remembered asking her age, only to realize that Si Niang was only 28 this year.

She married at the age of thirteen and gave birth to a baby at the age of 15. Just looking at her appearance, Lin Yuan believed she had 48.

Siniang is the epitome of all the peasant girls in this world. They married early, gave birth to babies early, and survived with good luck. When they are unlucky, they have two lives. Their dreams are in the ground. The harvest can fill the belly of the family, and it would be great if there was surplus, and the landlord’s lord would not be satisfied with a 10% less harvest.

Lin Yuan rushed to Siniang and said: "Siniang, when you get to the place, if you look right, find someone to marry again."

Siniang was taken aback, and after a while, she said bitterly: "Which one wants me? Besides, there are dogs."

For her, it is already very good to survive.
