Chapter 187
One of the residences of Gaomi refugees.
Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, they should have hid in the house to rest, but now the refugees who escaped from the chaos of war have such qualifications.There are few men in this refugee area, and most of them are old and weak women and children hiding at home.
Although this is a temporary residence, the house is not badly built. It is different from the houses in the south that are made of mud and straw, but stones are mixed with wood and then "cement" is used to paste it. It will never be crushed by heavy snow. Not airy yet, warm and tight.
In addition, the prefect rented a "charcoal stove" on a household basis. As long as he went to the nearby Heishi Mountain to dig some coal and work for three or four days, he could exchange for some "honeycomb briquettes". Coal is enough for half a month. In today's weather, even if you go into the mountains, you can't get firewood, and these refugees don't have the straw left over from the autumn harvest to burn.
Not only does this coal not smoke people, but it is also very convenient for cooking and boiling water, and it can also keep the fire alive, so you can use it sparingly. One piece of coal can be burned for a day, and the meals for the family can be solved for a day.
The only pity is that the charcoal stove cannot be placed in the house when the door is closed, otherwise the "gas" in the stove will not escape and will make people faint.In this way, everyone can only put the charcoal stove at the door, and when it is used, carry it into the house, open the door ajar, and then the whole family gathers around the fire, roasting comfortably, and warming up with the hot soup in the clay pot on the stove After drinking a bowl, although there will be cold wind coming in, most of the body will be warm.
The woman's family originally fled with a lot of belongings, but all the way down the road, those things had already been discarded and sold, leaving only an ancestral spearhead to store carefully.
I don’t know what kind of skillful craftsman this spearhead has been forged. It has been handed down for a long time and is still as sharp as new. Leaning on the spearhead along the way, the man in the family is either a guardian or a sharp knife. It is very useful, so the family members have no difficulties Take it out and exchange it.
She looked at the two children beside the fire where the bean soup was tumbling in the pot, and she felt grateful to the prefect of Gaomi in her heart.
The man in her family has gone out to work, and it is more difficult, that is, the place where the coal is dug.Although the coal is easy to burn when dug out, there is too much gas in it, and the coal needs to be processed before it can be turned into 'honeycomb'.It's hard work, but after five days of work, you can get a ration back, and the whole family relies on this work to support them.
But the woman didn't complain at all. Now there is a house to live in in snowy weather, and there is no need to endure the severe frost. When the family built a register and built a house here, they had already received a piece of wasteland, but they missed the planting season and needed to plant again in spring.
Although it is wasteland, it must not be as good as ripe land, but the most laborious work of digging the soil is much less labor-intensive than before with the new plow rented by the prefect, and the prefect's agricultural officer taught him how to irrigate in winter and burn manure. In other words, even if the harvest of the barren land is not as good as that of the cultivated land in the coming year, it will certainly not be so bad, and it must be feasible to support the whole family.
With land, there is hope. Even in such a time of turmoil, you can support your family by working.
Anyway, the whole family survived this winter.
The sky was getting dark, and the man who was working came back, and when he entered the door, he said, "You woman, you started the furnace before I came back. The coal was not blown by the strong wind."
The woman stepped forward, straightened the remaining snow on his body, and said, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"There's another big ship coming from the port, specially collecting the briquettes from our coal workshop. It was loaded early today, so it was put away for a while."
"Amitabha, the food has been exchanged again. Now we don't have to worry about the prefect not being able to support us." The woman still has some knowledge. The prefect of Gaomi County is a kind person and treats ordinary civilians very leniently, but so many people , the woman was also worried that there was not enough food to eat, so she was always looking forward to the cargo ships at the port to sell more goods.
"A woman's opinion." Although this man is a worker, he has been in exile for so long, and he still has some knowledge: "The port was built after the autumn harvest. Gathering the power of a county does not have enough time. When winter irrigation stops labor, it is only a rough construction. When the spring of the next year is slowly built, the port will only get better and better. The colored porcelain and briquette in our Gaomi County , salt and other goods are very popular, how could they not be exchanged for food."
The woman thought about it, so she lifted the clay pot on the stove with a happy smile, and prepared to have dinner for the family.
The family happened to come here after the autumn harvest. They had gone through untold hardships and finally came to Qingzhou. They felt that everyone should have a way to survive. Qingzhou is a remote place and there has been no war yet.But in the affluent city of Chengyang, it is true that Meng Chengyang prefect takes people in. However, a bowl of porridge with more than a dozen grains of wheat floating in cold water a day is really hard to survive, let alone those who have nowhere to stretch their feet. In the shack, after half a month of living like this, and being beaten and scolded by the officials, life is really worse than death.
Holding the last wave of faith, the family continued to walk and came to Gaomi, where refugees were also resettled.
As soon as they came, the family was conscripted to do hard labor. Originally, the family cried bitterly, thinking that it was an explanation.But who knows, this labor is not hard.Women and other old women are responsible for cooking, delivering water, washing these tasks, and they can also receive some rations, while men are conscripted to build docks. full stomach.
In this way, the most difficult days passed.
"I want to join the army." The man said suddenly after finishing his porridge.
But the woman stopped: "How can it be? Didn't we just escape to escape the war?"
The man said: "Those officials are scraping the land layer by layer, collecting this tax and that tax, and planting it for a year, but they have to pay for it. They escaped only because they were arrested. He doesn’t have any weapons, so he’s going to die, who wants to be captured and die.” At this point, he suddenly felt a sense of pride, and said, “The county guards are different now. Not only is the food good, but they are also equipped with weapons. Daily drills teach real skills, it’s not about arresting people and sending them to death, besides, soldiers’ fields are exempt from taxes.” The man finally added, “Although Gaomi is safe for the time being, if there is a war one day, I don’t think it’s going to be so hard. The remaining foundation, the child who was brought up with great difficulty, will be ruined again."
Finally, the woman said with tears in her eyes, "Listen to you."
Prefect's House.
You Hongyin was correcting official documents.
Although he manages Gaomi County as his own territory, he still clearly distinguishes between private property and public property. For example, the newly built pier belongs to Gaomi County, and the cost is also taxed by Gaomi County.As for the grain tax paid to the court, he deliberately forgot about it.
It is precisely because of this that he now needs to deal with two lines of affairs, and it is inevitable that the workload will be more.
Of course, when the territory gets bigger, the two teams will have to be pulled together again, and the work will be divided in detail, which is not necessary now, mainly because there are not enough people, and almost everyone has multiple jobs.
"My lord, the two gentlemen have already been sent back." The two gentlemen Yuan Xi mentioned were Fan Wuya and Cao Lin.
Fan Wuya is a local, so he naturally has his own home, so he still has to go back after talking about things.As for Cao Lin, he and his brother lived in the same house in the city. Cao Yi was a few years older than Cao Lin, and he was tall and big, but he was born with a mother-in-law temperament and treated Cao Lin, a younger brother in his 20s. It's like Milkman, who actually stipulates access control.Because of this, Fan Wuya laughed at Cao Lin for a long time.
They stayed for dinner just now, the road was slippery in the snow, and it was getting late, so You Hongyin naturally wanted to send someone to send them back.
"How is the operation of each workshop?" You Hongyin asked Yuan Xi while quickly correcting the official documents.
It is true that Yuan Xi is good at internal affairs, but at the same time she is also in charge of several private workshops under You Hongyin's name, a bit like a personal butler.The foremen of the workshop basically report directly to Yuan Xi, and the few caravans established are basically handled by Yuan Xi.
The apprentice You Hongyin cultivated naturally couldn't just help him manage the inner courtyard and reprimand the girl, even though Yuan Xi was so busy that she didn't forget to come out with two slaves to manage the prefect's mansion.
"It's all good. Basically, it's operating according to the lord's expectations, and there are no major problems. Mr. Cao brought back a lot of skilled refugees and more young adults, and now the manpower is enough for the time being. However," Yuan Xidun Paused: "It's just that the price of food outside is getting more and more expensive now. If our caravan insists on exchanging food, it will be a bit of a disadvantage."
"If you suffer a little, you will suffer a little. I watch the sky at night, and there may be a catastrophe in the next few years." You Hongyin frowned: "Although I can't tell whether it is a disaster for the time being, I can't get rid of the difference between drought and flood."
Yuan Xi was very convinced of her lord. Hearing this, she immediately said in shame: "Yuan Xi is short-sighted. If there is a catastrophe, food is more important for survival. What is money?"
"It's good that you understand." You Hongyin said, "Are there any difficulties in each workshop?"
Yuan Xi said: "My lord is sympathetic to the power of the people, and has been unwilling to build roads. Several official roads here in Gaomi have long been dilapidated. Transportation has always been a problem. I am afraid that road repairs will have to be raised next year."
You Hongyin said: "The road construction costs too much money, food and manpower, and the high density cannot support it for the time being. I built the Jiaozhou Wharf to relieve the transportation pressure. When the high density accumulation is richer, I will build roads without your reminder. "
"Master Shengming." Yuan Xi said.
You Hongyin said, "Ah Gui is back?"
Yuan Xi was waiting for the lord to praise him for his ability to do things well, but when he mentioned the barbarian, he couldn't help saying angrily: "The bear is playing with the new weapon that the lord made for him in the school yard. How can I remember the lord."
Although Yuan Xi's management is intimate, the most trusted by the lord is Hu Gui, a barbarian. Yuan Xi has been taught that barbarians are lowly since she was a child. Seeing them with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and faces like Raksha ghosts, it is impossible for her to like them. , often stab Na Hugui with two sentences.
Well, all other reasons are just excuses after disliking her. The most important reason why Yuan Xi dislikes Hu Gui is that Hu Gui diverts the lord's attention from her.
The power of the brainless fan is so unreasonable, if it weren't for Yuan Xi who has a temper but never abandons personal interests because of business, You Hongyin would definitely not keep her as a person.
"Go and call him." You Hongyin said lightly, without revealing or refuting Yuan Xi's words.
Now that the road is blocked by heavy snow, they should have hid in the house to rest, but now the refugees who escaped from the chaos of war have such qualifications.There are few men in this refugee area, and most of them are old and weak women and children hiding at home.
