Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

Xiao Zirong felt that he seemed to have made a wrong choice—that is, he handed over the selection of refugees to Liu Cainiang.

Isn't Liu Cainiang's attitude obvious?When I went to the dental store to buy people before, I was always happy to see the little lady.

If it wasn't for Liu Cainiang's loving face every time she saw those little ladies, and treating them as sisters or juniors, Xiao Zirong would have wondered if she was cheating.

Xiao Zirong glanced at the little ladies who were described as down-and-out, and Liu Cainiang introduced to her back, "This is the city lord."

Those little ladies seemed a little surprised, after Liu Cainiang finished speaking, they saluted one after another and said, "I've seen the city lord."

Xiao Zirong said with a business smile: "Ayin Aman, you take them to resettle them first, just in the two houses before, let them clean up first, Cai Niang, come with me."

A young lady keenly sensed that Xiao Zirong seemed unhappy, she gritted her teeth and took a step forward and said, "City Lord, I can do everything, I can farm the land and raise silkworms, I can do laundry, cook and have babies, as long as I have something to eat." Just do it."

Xiao Zirong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then blushed, and before he could speak, Liu Cainiang smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the city lord does not need you to give birth to his baby alone, you have a good idea, okay, Go quickly, since you are here, you will definitely be able to stay, don’t worry.”

Xiao Zirong was a little helpless, but he also sighed. For a bite to eat, these little ladies even had children as an option that could be traded, that is to say, they were trading their bodies and organs, so it could be seen that they were really desperate.

After Liu Cainiang followed Xiao Zirong into the city lord's mansion, before Xiao Zirong could say anything, Liu Cainiang said, "I know what the city lord wants to say, but I really can't stand it. These little ladies have been bullied too much. I... ...I can't stand it."

Xiao Zirong couldn't say anything. Indeed, in the face of disasters, women are always the most vulnerable. Although there are strong individuals, the whole is still relatively weak.

He sighed and said, "I didn't say no, but... even in this situation, there are always men who are not so congenial, right? Our city is not only full of yin and yang, but almost no yang." , it won’t work like this.”

Liu Cainiang frowned: "What's wrong with this? Aren't the sisters all having a good time?"

Xiao Zirong said earnestly, "But what about the future? There will always be young ladies who want to get married and have children, right?"

Liu Cainiang muttered, "What do you do with a family? Men are not good things."

Xiao is not a good guy Zi Rong: ...

Liu Cainiang seemed to realize that she had said something wrong, and quickly said, "I'm not talking about the city lord."

Xiao Zirong said blankly, "Thank you, but I'm not very happy."

Liu Cainiang couldn't help being amused by him, and she relaxed a bit and said, "I'm just worried that my sisters will be cheated and bullied again."

Xiao Zirong didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You are really... This is our territory, can you let your own people be bullied? Don't worry, the laws in the city are different from those outside. How can I let you suffer?"

Liu Cainiang pursed her lips and said, "But a man...who knows what kind is good?"

Xiao Zirong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Choose it. At this time, you can barely maintain your clarity. Doesn't it mean that you have a reliable character if you don't go with those beasts? And those who have read books are also selected first, among other things. , the ethics of scholars should still be trustworthy."

A scholar who has been baptized by Confucianism should at least have some moral character, and at this time can still stick to the bottom line of being a human being, then this person should be really good.

After all, the refugees probably never expected that someone would take them in, and they went to the state capital just to make a living, and no one knew where they would be in the future.

In order to dispel the worries of the young ladies in the city, Xiao Zirong specially set the selection criteria for men very harshly, and also set out different admission standards.

There is one kind of admission standard for ordinary people, and another kind of admission standard for those who are willing to sell themselves into slavery.

In Xiao Zirong's words: "Although everyone is very capable, isn't it good to entrust the dirty work to them? You just need to do what you want every day. For example, whether to pour Yexiang to others OK?"

The little ladies think so too, few people are willing to do a job like pouring Yexiang, but a few people take turns pouring every day, at first Xiao Zirong put himself in, but after he followed once, the little ladies would Forbid him to do this job again.

If Xiao Zirong disagreed, then let Lu Liu block his door.

Others Xiao Zirong can still fight, but Lu Liu really can fight but not talk, but Xiao Zirong really can't beat her, this woman is too strong.

It's nice to have the opportunity to hand over the dirty work to someone else.

Xiao Zirong breathed a sigh of relief, that's right, he doesn't necessarily need a man to help him, in his eyes there is no difference between a man and a woman, and these little ladies under him are also great at doing things, but the problem is that he wants to help him. Think about the future of Taoyuan City.

If they are all little ladies, how will they reproduce in the future?Now the number of children in the city is too small. In the future, should these few children be used to support the elderly in the city?

Xiao Zirong also didn't expect that he would start to worry about the problem of population aging in the feudal society, and he was also very upset.

fortunately

Let Liu Cainiang and the others carefully select, and when they go out next time, each of them will be given a mask.

Liu Cainiang looked at the mask with some surprise: "What is this?"

Xiao Zirong put the mask on his face, because there is no elastic material these days, so these masks are directly tied behind the head with cloth straps.

Xiao Zirong took it and said: "This can prevent the epidemic to a certain extent. Didn't you say that the refugees who ran to the state capital had the epidemic? Although I don't know what the epidemic is, you should be careful. If you see refugees Don’t get close to those who are sick in the team, it’s better to choose those who seem to be in a good mental state and healthy.”

Liu Cainiang nodded vigorously. It is no different from being infected with the disease. There are too few people who survived by luck.

If sick people were brought in, Taoyuan City would be over.

Xiao Zirong was also very contradictory. He was worried about the epidemic, but he didn't want to ignore those people, so he turned his head to A Yin and A Man and said, "When the people come over, you should wear masks. Later, I will prepare some potions and spray them on the ground. On the mask, you take them to a fixed place and isolate them for a period of time, um, isolation is to prevent them from contacting the outside world, and the daily meals are sent in through things, and you should not have any contact with them."

In order to prevent the epidemic, Xiao Zirong almost resorted to the isolation method of later generations, but even so, it can only be prevention, and even the prevention is not too strict, after all, there is no protective clothing or anything.

Fortunately, when he traded with Yuan Jia before, he specially asked for a lot of medicinal materials, and he found a few ancient prescriptions for curing diseases from the library. Well, as soon as there is a bad sign, the whole city will be sealed off and martial law will start.

The only hope now is that these people have not been recruited.

This time Liu Cainiang brought a mix of men and women, and it was obvious that some of them were families, a couple with several children, and single men and women. Xiao Zirong glanced at them and found that there were more young ladies. That's not bad, Xiao Zirong won't ask too much.

Among the men who were brought in, almost none could directly enter the ordinary household registration, and many of them were directly sold into slavery.

Xiao Zirong didn't say much, and directly became a slave. In fact, those little ladies who were bought were also in slavery at the beginning, but Xiao Zirong didn't do this at that time. After joining his family, he also established a household registration.

Now this slave status is also to appease Liu Cainiang and the others, fearing that they will not feel safe.

In fact, it should be those male slaves who feel insecure.

These people originally regarded Liu Cainiang and the others as robbers. After all, when they walked halfway, there was a group of young ladies with long guns in their hands and bows behind their backs to guard them.

Even those male slaves who were a little bit unintelligible were honest when they looked at the shining silver spear, not to mention that all these ladies looked young, but their small faces were tight and their eyes were sharp, which was not easy to provoke look.

In addition to these male slaves, there are also some ordinary people who are particularly worried all the way. They deeply feel that they should not enter the bandit's den just for one bite of food, but they can't stop running when they look at the children in their arms. It's not easy to run with a mouth, you can only take one step and watch one step at a time.

After walking in the mountains for a few days, when everyone was very tired, they suddenly saw a road.

That road seemed to appear suddenly. Although it was just a simple rammed earth road, it looked like it had been carefully repaired.

After everyone stepped on this road, they could faintly see the city wall standing at the end of the road.

When seeing the white city wall, everyone's first reaction was to not believe it, and several of them thought it was their own eyesight.

However, after the exchange, they found that everyone saw the city wall.

As we got closer, the city wall became more and more obvious. The city wall, which was taller, stronger and tidy than the county seat, opened the eyes of those who followed.

In addition, due to the recent rain, the fog in the mountains is relatively heavy, and the plaque on the city wall is faintly visible in the fog.

One of the people who followed this time was literate, squinted his eyes and read, "Taoyuan City."

After he finished reading, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and asked excitedly, "Peach Blossom Spring, is this the legendary Peach Blossom Spring?"

Liu Cainiang was at a loss when she heard it. At first she just thought the name sounded good, and it looked good when written. Could there really be such a city?

The look of that man was really exciting, and he was the only one in the team who had read the book. Suddenly, many people asked in one go: "Brother, what are you talking about? We are Have you reached the fairyland?"

The man turned a deaf ear to these questions, muttering something, Liu Cainiang faintly heard something, "Where is the peach blossom forest? Why is there no peach blossom forest?" "The mountain has a small mouth, it's not right..."

Liu Cainiang didn't understand, and said a little annoyed, "Don't make trouble, go!"

The man gradually came back to his senses and followed her all the way into the city. After entering the city, A Yin and A Man came over wearing masks and sprayed each of them with some disinfectant. ,better than nothing.

And just now that man had a tendency to go crazy again, looking at the scene in front of him, he muttered again: "The land is flat, the houses look like houses, the rice fields are trafficked, chickens and dogs smell each other, yes, that's right, I found the Peach Blossom Spring, Hahahaha, I have arrived at Peach Blossom Spring!"

He was laughing just in time for Xiao Zirong to come back from the school grounds, and he was taken aback when he heard the voice: What's going on, why are you still crazy?
