Chapter 63: Initial stability

When several families heard that someone was rebelling outside, they were very scared. They were all honest farmers. Even though they suffered a lot because of fleeing famine, they never thought of rebelling.

"Why is this chaos happening? What can we do?" The third grandma's hands are shaking. She has lived her whole life, but she doesn't want to encounter such a thing when she is old. She will be scared and worried about her daughter. The family will encounter rebels on their way out.

It should have been chaos a long time ago. Qin Erlang sneered: The emperor did not provide disaster relief. Officials in various states along the way only wanted to protect themselves and blocked the victims outside the city. Such a court should have..."

"Erlang, shut up. Is this allowed to be said?!" Mr. Qin scolded Qin Erlang and refused to let him continue. If he said anything, it would be a serious crime of beheading.

Qin Erlang had an angry look on his face, obviously unconvinced, but he did not continue to scold him after all.

Gu Jinli also thinks that the emperor of the Chu Dynasty is very strange. This year is the sixth year of Jingyuan of the Chu Dynasty. This emperor has only been on the throne for six years, but he has governed the Chu Dynasty to the point where the people have no life.

This Emperor Jingyuan was only the third emperor of the Great Chu Dynasty. He should have grown up under the strict education of the founding emperor. He had not even washed the dirt off his legs. He should love the people like his own son, so he would not be so stupid. That's right.

But Emperor Jingyuan was so stupid that he brought the great Chu Dynasty into a state of turmoil.

Gu Jinli didn't know that the reason why Emperor Jingyuan didn't go all out to provide disaster relief was because he wanted to take the opportunity to replace all the generals of the northwest frontier army with his own people, but he was too eager, and the northwest frontier army obeyed the orders of Duke Wei, which led to the trouble now. , he only beheaded Wei Guogong's family, but did not include the northwest frontier army. Not only did the northwest frontier army become a mess, but also caused widespread resentment among the people, and rebel armies appeared in various places.

"Brother Qin, have you heard about how the government plans to resettle us? Have you talked about opening warehouses for disaster relief or allowing us to settle down?" No matter what is going on outside, the third grandfather only cares about their resettlement: "These are all Its almost Chinese New Year, its freezing cold, the government wont let us go to Jiangnan, and we are trapped here, we must give an explanation.

Qin Sanlang shook his head: "There is no news that the government will resettle the victims in the city."

Mr. Qin comforted the third grandfather: "Don't worry, brother. The officials are most afraid of the rebellion of the victims and dare not not resettle them. Let's wait for a few more days. Before the Yamen seals the New Year, the government will definitely give us an explanation."

Even if they had money before, they would have used it to buy food, water, salt, and clothing to keep out the cold. Now, only a handful of families still have money left.

The scribe said: "Several adults are still in the discussion stage. I don't know how much money is needed to register a new household registration."

At the end of the previous dynasty, there were fightings in various places, and many household registrations were in chaos. After the establishment of the Chu Dynasty, the management of household registrations was extremely strict. There were laws that clearly stipulated that those without household registrations would be sentenced to be refugees and could buy and sell at will.

There are too many disaster victims now. It is already a great grace for the prefect to allow the victims to use money to buy new household registrations. These victims can just be content.

The scribe was afraid that the victims would get excited and hurt themselves, so after saying this, he immediately left with the government officials and guards.

With this order, it can be said that some people are happy and some are sad. The victims with household registration are naturally happy and waiting to go to the city gate early tomorrow morning to receive relief supplies.

Those victims who did not have household registration cried in their arms. After crying, they hurriedly found acquaintances to co-sign as guarantees, and then collected money from everywhere.

But the victims are all poor, how can money be so easy to collect?

Yachang of Fucheng had already sent people Yazi to keep an eye on this group of victims in the suburbs. When he saw that the victims were worried about money, they immediately approached the victims and asked for money to buy their children.

The victims had no choice but to sell their sons and daughters. In less than one afternoon, Renyazi bought many girls and half-grown children, all at extremely low prices.

Gu Dashan and Mrs. Cui saw those families selling their sons and daughters, and they were very happy that Gu Jinli saved the life of the young master of Qi Mansion and got the reward from the young master of Qi Mansion. Otherwise, their family would not know how to survive.

The third grandma saw so many people selling their children and even said it was a sin. However, she didnt have much money left at home. She couldnt help others if she wanted to, so she could only take care of herself.

Qin Guluotian's family members all had household registrations. Early the next morning, the men from each family took a boy of their own to the city gate to collect food and cold-weather clothing.
