Stock up in space to survive and save civilization in the end of the world
Chapter 183: Developing Territories 5
Lin Qian's understanding of exile is: exiled people wear handcuffs and anklets, have no clothes to protect them from the cold, have no food to eat, sleep in the open air, are beaten and scolded by the guards, and travel fifty miles a day.
This is different from the great population migration in the previous world. In ancient times, there were no tunnels, so one had to climb mountains and ridges, and sometimes had to walk on shaky ladders.
But in Tang Qingyu's words, Lin Qian heard the meaning of "money can make the world go round".
Just like the "timely rain" Song Jiang in "Water Margin", he fed the government servants in advance.
Official duties were directly transformed into long-term attendants, and they had to be well-served along the way. Anyway, the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and there was no monitoring at this time.
"There are domestic servants and maids accompanying us with dry food and fine supplies. We have also made arrangements with everyone in advance. I hope it won't be too difficult on the way."
After Tang Qingyu's explanation, Lin Qian learned that before the Tang family was sentenced to confiscation and exile, Dou's mother had already known the news and took several of her brothers-in-law to transfer part of the property in advance.
After hearing this, Lin Qian felt that the emperor of the Wei Dynasty was really not good enough. His power had fallen to this point, and the palace was like a sieve.
At present, Xungui is the main fighting faction. After all, during the Northern Expedition, elders of every family died, and this revenge must be avenged!
The aristocratic family is a peacemaker, they are all uncivilized barbarians, so give them some money to spend. At present, the people have no money to pay taxes and the national treasury is empty. What can we use to fight against it?
At present, the relationship between the two factions is on fire and water, and the exile of the Tang family also shows that the peacemaker has the upper hand in the current situation.
Lin Qian asked: "Are there any honest, honest people among the domestic slaves and maids who have some skills in fists and kicks?"
Tang Qingyu was confident: "Don't worry, the Hou Mansion has kept so many slaves over the years. If they are not acclimated to the environment on the road, just throw them away."
In the Wei Dynasty, slaves were no more than domestic animals. The "Human Market" in Lin'an City was very prosperous. You can buy a child of several years old with a few sesame cakes. Adults are more expensive and require more than ten kilograms of rice and noodles.
In years of calamity, families would even regard purchasing slaves as a good deed, and the official attitude was to encourage this because it was conducive to social stability.
The victims of the disaster are the "hungry people". Each of them is similar to a skeleton. They have to be kept as slaves for more than a month before they can be used. In the future, food and accommodation will be provided, and they will be given a life. How can it not be considered a good deed?
When you become a slave, your life belongs to your master. In ancient times, the status of a humble person was lifelong and had the double buff of descendants. A dead slave would not make a splash.
Lin Qian felt that if she became a disaster victim in the future, she would definitely rise up and take the route of "Princes, princes and generals should be content with each other".
Tang Qingyu also revealed the news that thanks to the connections of the emperor's favorite concubine Zhao Huifei, the Tang family was exiled to Lingnan only ten days later.
The seventh and thirteenth ladies of the Tang family were busy preparing dry food and money for the road. Tang Qingyu finished talking about all the big and small things, left the maid behind, and got up to leave.
After taking her away, Lin Qian first made a show of asking the nanny to hold the child over and take a look at it.
The newborn baby is not very good-looking. Please tell the nurse a few words to take good care of her. Don’t neglect her.
The original person has very complicated feelings for this child. Knowing about Princess Xincheng and Cui Hao, he feels a little disgusted with the house.
After the accident in the Tang family, she felt that the child in her belly had become a burden.
Lin Qian simply didn't want to raise her. She planned to make peace with Cui Hao as soon as she was out of confinement.
Of the maids Tang Qingyu left behind, one took care of the children's affairs and the other took care of the affairs of the courtyard.
The personal maid still used her loyalty and continued to let her guard the door.
After getting out of bed and moving around slowly in the room, Lin Qian analyzed the current situation.
The side mission should not have started yet, but the main mission is to ensure that Tang Shiming lives safely until he is 30 years old. If his father suffers this disaster, will he have the idea of seizing power?
With this idea, Tang Shiming is the first heir. Now he is 24. What accidents will happen in these 6 years?
It is impossible to speculate on the cause of the end of the world. Whether it was Tang Shiming who affected the end of the world, or whether the change of dynasties affected the end of the world.
After thinking about it for a long time, I still have no clue, so I can only take it one step at a time.
Unknowingly, I ate all the candied fruits on the plate. At this time, white sugar had not yet appeared, honey was expensive, and the fruit had not been artificially cultivated. The candied fruits tasted more sour than sweet, relieving greasiness and appetizing.
"Zhao Zhao!"
Lin Qian rolled her eyes, the annoying Cui Hao came again.
He immediately apologized after entering the room. Tang Qingyu's attack just now was very effective, but more importantly, Tang Qingyu's husband was promoted to Minister of Civil Affairs last year and became Cui Hao's superior officer.
Cui Hao's intention was to ask her to take the initiative to send the child back to Songheyuan: "Since Xuan'er left, my mother has been unable to eat and has suffered from angina. It's better to let Xiao Lang go back."
"Angina pectoris?" Lin Qian smiled and said: "You must not hide your illness and avoid medical treatment. Danxin, let Dr. Xu get the prescription."
It's one thing if she doesn't want to raise a child, but it's another thing if someone robs her of it.
"This is a prescription for angina pectoris. Give it to my mother-in-law for me."
Cui Hao was kicked out with the prescription. He walked to Songheyuan and saw Mrs. Cui who was full of joy but then disappointed. He quickly said: "Mother, this is the prescription Zhao Zhao asked me to bring. It is said to be excellent for angina pectoris."
Mrs. Cui opened the prescription and took a look, her face was uncertain.
Lin Qian Anxin lay in the room for five days. She recovered to the best of her ability and stopped taking medicine.
Tang Qiniang and Tang Shisanniang both visited her and showed her the list they had prepared.
It was midsummer now, and the Tang family would only get hotter and hotter as they headed towards Lingnan, so they didn't prepare much clothing.
Water bladders, steamed cakes, bilo, sesame cakes, dried meat, medicinal materials, fire folds, oilcloth...
All three of them are housewives, and even menstrual belts and fine rice noodles for the children are on the list.
Thirteenth Niang was the youngest, and she used to play the best with Tang Pingzhao at home. She was very happy when she came, but when she mentioned the family's exile, her face was concealed, but her eyebrows were still full of worry.
Lin Qian guessed that the reason why Tang Qingyu talked about the exile as if he was traveling far away was because he did not want to affect his sister's confinement period.
After reading the list, she couldn't think of anything to add for a while. Lin Qian took out the prepared box of gold, which was one of the items at the bottom of the original owner's trousseau.
Both parties declined for a long time, but finally they accepted. It was laborious and expensive to prepare things for the road and arrange manpower in such a short period of time.
Before the Tang family left Lin'an, the three cousins invariably sent people to the Cui Mansion to express condolences to Lin Qian. The general meaning was that Dou's mother felt that her daughter was still in confinement, so she should not go to the city gate to see her off, and she could send letters if she had anything to do.
Lin Qian took out the letter that she had prepared a long time ago. She spent several days and practiced behind closed doors for a long time before writing it in the original owner's handwriting and tone.
Her body has actually fully recovered, but she does not dare to go out to deliver her baby like some of her cousins.
These days, Lin Qian stayed in the house to figure out the words and tone of Tang Pingzhao's conversations with his family, and recalled the details of his daily interactions with his relatives.
What surprised her was that although Dou's mother loved her daughter, she remembered that the time they spent seeing each other was pitiful.
Not to mention Tang's father, who is stationed at the border and rarely sees him for several years.
Dou's mother was born in a noble family. She was good at riding and shooting since she was a child. After she got married, she went to the border with Tang Nu.
When they were young, Tang Pingzhao and his eldest brother and second brother worked as left-behind children together. They could not see their biological mother until December every year until the Chinese New Year, so the three brothers and sisters had a very good relationship.
Most of the affairs of the Hou Mansion were managed by several aunts, and Dou's mother would also send someone to do accounting when she came back at the end of the year.
The winter environment in the north was harsh, so Tang family boys were taken to the border for training when they reached the age of ten. Tang Pingzhao had learned the Tang family's exercises, but on weekdays he just competed with his sisters at home.
Lin Qian also tried the Tang family's exercises in the house. She could touch the beams when she jumped up. She even made eye contact with a mouse...
