"I think it's not just his hobby, it's yours too."
"How should I put it? It can barely be considered a hobby. My husband has a wide range of interests, and I have dabbled in them all."
"Young Master Jiang is quite shameless."
"How about you touch it and try it?"
Just as the two of them were joking in the carriage, news came from outside:
"Master, there are bandits robbing the road."
Jiang Hai sat up and wanted to look outside to see what was going on. Yuchi Ziling was also a little excited and prepared to connect her new gun.
At this time, someone else came to report,
"Master, the bandits have all run away."
…
This is too much. Is it over before it even begins?
"What's going on? Tell me." Jiang Hai stopped the Xincheng soldier who came to report the news.
"Those bandits came charging in aggressively, then saw the Shunfeng Escort Agency's clothing and flags and immediately turned around and ran away."
"That's it? Forget it, let's continue on our way. We don't have time to catch them." Jiang Hai helplessly returned to the car.
After listening to their conversation, Yuchi Ziling felt that she had never seen anything like it before. It seemed that Shunfeng Escort Agency had already left a lasting impression on these bandits.
The team continued to move forward and passed the territory of Qianlong Mountain.
The days of traveling were very boring. Seeing Jiang Hai looking bored, Yuchi Ziling suggested that they go out for a horseback ride together.
"Go outside and ride your horse. Get some fresh air."
"Yeah, okay, okay, should I take you for a ride or will you take me?"
"..." Yuchi Ziling almost choked, "Can't each of us ride one?"
"Alright, you're not going to let me go after satisfying my desire to talk."
Jiang Hai muttered something after his failed attempt, then got off the carriage to look for his white horse. The white horse and Bai Xue had been following the carriage, and soon Jiang Hai was riding on the white horse.
The two of them followed the carriage and horse team forward.
When Yuchi Ziling came, she and Cai'er rode horses straight to southern Xinjiang, which took nearly twenty days. This time, with the help of a horse-drawn carriage, the speed was slower. It is estimated that it will take nearly a month to arrive.
It took more than ten days to cross the territory of Qianlong Mountain, and we had only traveled half the distance.
Yuchi Ziling looked around as she walked. According to the last time she came here, the route they were taking next would be where there were the most refugees.
"The last time I passed by here, many people were displaced. Has the world become so dire now?"
"That's about right. The court is like this now. Unless there are major reforms and a wise ruler appears, it will remain like this." Jiang Hai nodded.
"You have taken in all the refugees from southern Xinjiang into the new city, why don't you take in these people?" Yuchi Ziling asked.
"Can we collect all the refugees in the world? The problem isn't us, it's those high and mighty people.
I just want to manage the new city peacefully, and I can't care about other things. I'm not the emperor, so if I can help him solve some of the problems in southern Xinjiang, it will be a great merit. "
This is what Jiang Hai thought. It was not his turn to worry about the affairs of the court. He just wanted to be a local emperor. The new city was doing well now, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's affairs and cause trouble for himself.
Yuchi Ziling looked thoughtful, and after a moment, nodded and said,
"You're right. These are things officials should do. When I was in the capital, I thought the world was peaceful and the people must be living well."
"You're so naive, aren't you? Hehe, unless I want to be the emperor, it won't be resolved in a short time. But I don't want to, it's too tiring, it's not as comfortable as it is now."
"You're bragging again. If you keep doing this, you'll be called Jiang Dazui."
"Didn't you realize that all the boasts I made came true?" Jiang Hai said calmly.
Yuchi Ziling thought about it and thought so, so she didn't refute it. Jiang Hai saw that she had a bit of compassion for the world, so he said,
"Don't overthink it. Life is short, and we're not saints. No matter how capable we are, we can't take care of everything that happens to the people of this world. Just have a clear conscience."
"I didn't expect you could say such sensible things." Yuchi Ziling said with a smile.
"I'm a very reasonable person, alright? You misunderstood me. You don't think my mind is full of romantic thoughts, do you?"
"Who knows? It looks like it anyway."
Jiang Hai wanted to say something to prove that he was a decent person, but then he saw many refugees kneeling on both sides of the carriage and horse team.
These people were wearing tattered clothes and had pale and skinny faces. Perhaps they felt that the "bodyguards" in the team were too powerful and did not dare to approach them casually.
He knelt down and kowtowed, begging for some alms.
Yuchi Ziling frowned. She had seen a lot of this kind of thing on the way here. She didn't ask Jiang Hai to give them alms. After all, it was such a long journey. If he gave alms all the way, he wouldn't have to eat.
Jiang Hai called Wenzhi over, "Wenzhi, have someone distribute some flyers."
"Okay, Master."
Wenzhi responded and went to make arrangements.
Yuchi Ziling asked Jiang Hai doubtfully,
"Flyers? What do you mean?"
"It means giving them a chance to make a living. It's up to them to decide whether to go or not. These are the recruitment flyers printed by Huang Haitang. They were prepared before they came.
There's a route to Binhai County on it. If they're willing to believe it, they can go. Once they see the flyers in southern Xinjiang, someone will naturally arrange for them. If they don't want to go, they can just leave it to fate."
Jiang Hai explained to her that Wu Gong had discussed this matter with him before he left the city, and later decided to distribute this kind of recruitment flyer. Those who were willing to come would gather at the Binhai County Government Office to register, and then be arranged to work in the new city.
"How is it? This method is okay, right?"
"Well, it's true that it's better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish. You guys are thoughtful. Can you show me the flyer?" Yuchi Ziling was curious about what was printed on his flyer.
"Of course." Jiang Hai immediately went forward to find Wenzhi and brought over a few copies.
Cai'er stuck her head out of the carriage to see what was happening outside, her eyes lighting up. What was her son-in-law going to do? Why did he bring so many banknotes?
Jiang Hai handed the flyer to Yuchi Ziling. Yuchi Ziling was surprised and said,
"Why give me the banknote?"
"This is a flyer." Jiang Hai explained.
Yuchi Ziling then reached out to take it. It was true. The outside of the flyer was printed like a banknote. When it was folded, it contained recruitment information.
This is full of tricks, Jiang Hai knows how to play it. In the past life, sometimes you thought you found money on the streets, but when you picked it up, you found that it was a invitation to go for a foot bath.
After reading the flyer, Yuchi Ziling couldn't help but burst out laughing again.
"Your flyer actually advertises a brothel. It seems like that's all you have on your mind."
"Hey, you don't understand, this is the key point. Just think about it, you work hard for the landlord for a whole year, and you may not even go to a brothel once.
Look at what we advertised. As long as you work for a full month, you can choose any brothel in the city.
I'm asking you, is this contrast easily tempting? It's mainly the contrast. Don't keep thinking about the brothel. You've learned bad habits, I tell you."
"You're the only one who's good at making excuses."
