Outside Tian'an County, there was a huge buzz of people.
Outside the city gate stood crowds of government officials and county soldiers holding torches, with swords unsheathed, bows strung, crossbows and spears, all in clear posture.
The target is not the demons or demons, nor the enemies of the Northern Kingdom, but the displaced victims who are standing at the door.
The rising fireworks are a by-product of the internal combustion of the stove when cooking hot porridge. There were boiling hot porridge in several large pots held by three people, and a group of people dressed as servants were serving porridge there.
"The Zhou family in Tianan has porridge, and the country in Daliang is peaceful and the people are safe."
"The Shen family in Tianan has porridge, and the sea and rivers in Daliang are clear."
"The Wu family in Tianan Congee brings peace to the world."
... Flags and flags of various colors, regardless of whether the refugees are literate or not, are hung on the porridge shed, with words of praise written on them, praising the compassion of the people who gave up the porridge. The perfection of the whole world.
The displaced refugees are like ants who have lost their nest, huddled together in a mess. Their faces were all numb, they hugged each other and sat there quietly waiting for the verdict of fate.
There are shops next to the porridge shed. The people dressed as stewards and their servants sit comfortably on chairs, holding a bowl of hot porridge in their hands, and take a sip from time to time while it is hot. Be loyal to their respective masters.
"Your land will definitely have no harvest this year. Let's just say that the current market is either haunted by monsters or haunted by ghosts. Even next year, who can guarantee a good harvest?" A steward said in front of him. The woman said: "Not to mention that you have lost your husband and your children are still young. How can you live in the future?"
"This means that our owner is kind-hearted. You sell the land to our owner and take the money." We can live the same life in other states with money, right?"
"That's three acres of good irrigated land. You can't buy one acre without five dollars, and what you give is too little."< /p>
"Sister-in-law, if it were a normal year, there would indeed be fewer Wu Guan. But what kind of year is it now? Always is always the same. Either way, sister-in-law, go back and take a shower and come back to me tonight. I will come back tomorrow. Let the master give you some.”
“You’re a bastard, you’re planning on me.”
“ Come on, come on, drag this crazy woman down. Damn it, I respect you. How many people want to take it off but don’t have the chance."
It was a mess, and a group of government officials came up to take it off. The woman dragged her down.
"The girl is pretty. How old are you, thirteen? Her waist looks good."
In another place, the steward's eyes were like hawks looking at what was in front of him. girl.
A numb middle-aged man was holding the girl, the corners of his eyes were dry.
"Let's be clear about the ugly things first. Brother, we in Daliang are not allowed to adopt slaves. Anyone who violates the order will be sent to the army."
The steward reached out and pinched the girl's butt hard. , the thirteen-year-old child did not cry, with a pleasing smile on his face.
"Bring her in, not as a slave, but as an adopted daughter." ThenThe steward nodded with satisfaction: "I understand, just put your fingerprints on the paper."
The man did not speak, but silently put cinnabar on the yellow paper and pressed his fingerprints.
"The gift money for adopting a daughter is two pennies. Look carefully, these are high-quality copper coins, not the rotten iron coins used today. The paper money of forty cents has been deducted. , you can count the rest by yourself."
The steward took out a few pennies from the plate next to him.
"Dad, don't cry. My daughter is going to enjoy the blessings. At least she won't have to starve. You can take your grandma, mother and sister away. My daughter is out of the sea of suffering. This is a great joy..."< /p>
The girl was smiling, but her tears kept flowing down.
The man said nothing and silently picked up the money from the plate. He turned his head to look at his daughter, raised his right hand, and slapped himself hard.
Su Che rode forward slowly, with Lu Bai beside him.
"Does this young master want to enter the city?"
On the edge of the avenue, a government official came to greet him.
There was a shortage of horses in the Southern Dynasty, and a good horse could not be deceived. Those who could ride a tall horse to control the officialdom were either rich or noble. If they were not in this category, they would be even more untouchable heroes. Giant thief.
"What, could it be that the city is closed?"
Su Che looked at their spears, axes, and strong bows and crossbows, and suddenly felt that he was walking on the ancient battlefield of Monk Plains. .
The people outside the door are not refugees, but barbarians who want to crush China.
"The city is not closed, but you have to pay fifteen coins to enter the city."
The yamen servant smiled: "In this peaceful world, the sea, rivers and rivers are clear, how can we close the city?" Where is the city?"
"I'm from Jiankang, what's going on?"
Su Che pointed to the side.
"Well, three years of drought and three years of floods are common."
Su Che took out a handful of copper coins from his sleeve and gently threw them on the ground. With the blessing of divine thoughts, thirty copper coins stood firmly on the ground, stacked one by one.
"Young Master is very clever."
The officer picked up the copper coins and signaled to the people around him to let them go.
These methods only prevent refugees without money from entering the city, but they cannot stop those with property.
Su Che grabbed the horse's belly and entered the city.
What stirs up the yin energy in the sky is the resentment of the people. The connection between heaven and man is the foundation of why practitioners can practice.
The manifested magical power of Immortal Immortal can change the color of heaven and earth, and the boiling resentment of thousands of living people will naturally affect heaven and earth.
For a short time, it is just the manifestation of Yin Qi. Over time, Yin objects and demons will even appear and cause trouble.
That’s why the ancient sage kings had a saying of “submitting to heaven and responding to people”.
In fact, God’s will can inspire people’s hearts, and public opinion can turn into God’s will.
The streets in Tianan County are far more prosperous than those in Guobei and Shanyin counties. ThatTo be honest, the Cizhou where Huang Tian Dao leader and Zhong Yuan and others were raised is really a blessed land.
The water and soil are rich and the fields are fertile. Because the landscape is well-organized, even natural disasters are much less common than other places. Except for Guobei and Shanyin, which are built in demon dens, the other counties are typical land of plenty.
Agriculture is the foundation of all industries. With food, all industries will naturally prosper. Tian'an County is located next to the official road from Cizhou to Jiankang. It is also the main trade route for Cizhou's grain to be transported to other places. It really deserves the word "wufu and people are prosperous".
"Are you two from Jiankang?" A waiter greeted: "What a good horse. Don't let those people outside disturb your interest. Our Tianan is very safe."

As soon as Su Che and Lu Bai entered the city, a waiter came to solicit business. One said that my wine was good and the bed was soft, the other said that my horse feed did not accept cash, and he said that his girls were fair. Yourun, you said that your dishes are the best in Cizhou.
The prosperity inside the city and the depression outside the city are two extremes, forming a sharp contrast.
Su Che ignored these people and led Lu Bai straight to the city.
Tiqi placed agents in Tianan County and opened a silk and satin shop as a disguise.
