The boss is really asking for too much. The maximum you can pay for these three horses is two hundred and eighty taels. If you agree, I will buy them. If not, I won’t even give up the cows.”
Just kidding, she can’t understand the cow, but she can understand the horse.
In her previous life, she often went to the stables to ride horses.
When Mr. Fu heard this, he knew he was meeting a colleague, so he didn't dare to ask for too much.
"Okay, that's the price. It's seven hundred and nineteen taels."
Mr. Fu said.
Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian followed Bo Dongjia to the office and issued certificates for both the cows and the horses, which were stamped with official seals.
The cattle and horses in Daliang cannot be slaughtered at will. Every cow and every horse must have a certificate from the government before it can be owned. If there is no certificate, it will be regarded as an illegal cattle. If caught by the government, the person will be sent to jail.
The certificate issued by Daliang Niuma was equivalent to a travel permit for the common people, and was even more like a modern ID card.
Gao Zhijun took the certificate and took out a silver note for one thousand taels and handed it to Mr. Fu, who gave him two silver notes for one hundred taels and eighty-one taels of silver in change.
Only after the oxen and horses were harnessed to the carriage did Gao Zhijun lead everyone back to Tongfu Inn in the horse-drawn carriage and ox-drawn cart.
At this time, Huo Jinzhou also brought the villagers back to buy food.
The village head also brought back the villagers living in the greenhouse and arranged for them to live in a large dormitory.
Mrs. Lu brought the women back early in the morning, each holding cloth, intending to make clothes for her family.
The villagers were stunned to see so many ox carts and horse carriages driving into the inn's stable.
When they learned that these ox carts and horses and cattle were bought by Miss Gao for everyone to escape famine, they were even more grateful to Gao Zhijun.
Although everyone had to pay the money to buy the ox cart, the ox cart was theirs.
Once things settle down, the cattle can start working on the wasteland again.
Gao Zhijun gave Zhuang Die and the others 100 kilograms of grain, three pieces of cloth, and 100 taels of silver.
Zhuang Die was reluctant to accept it at first, but she couldn't persuade Gao Zhijun and finally accepted it.
Sun Tiechi went to the Zhenlong Escort Agency in Liangzhou, which was the escort agency where Sun Tielong worked and had moved from Xiangyang County.
He met the escort manager and asked him to wait for Tielong to come back from escorting. He told Tielong that they were going to Taizhou. He also left a letter for Sun Tielong.
Because it has been raining, it is difficult to cook outside, so everyone started making pancakes today and will do so for three days.
A night of silence.
Everyone got up early and started cooking breakfast, and the young men put the food into the ox cart.
After breakfast, everyone sat in ox carts or horse carriages and set off for Taizhou.
There were three carriages, one for the Sun family, one for the Huo family, and one for the elderly in the village. The village head's mother was inside.
Huo Jinqian and Gao Zhijun were in the Huo family's carriage. Huo Jinqian was driving the carriage and Gao Zhijun was sitting next to him.
Sun Tiechi was driving the Sun family's horse-drawn carriage, and his ox cart was carrying grain.
The other carriage was driven by Yuri.
More than twenty ox carts and horse carriages drove out of Liangzhou in a mighty procession. When passing by the government office, the lawyer gave Gao Zhijun a letter, saying that it was a letter of recommendation from the adults.
Let her arrive in Taizhou and give the letter to the Taizhou prefect, who will arrange a good place for them.
Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian thanked their teacher profusely before bidding farewell and driving their carriage out of the gate of Liangzhou Prefecture.
Many people had never seen such a grand scene and watched from the sidelines.
The families of Mrs. Tong and Mrs. Fang also crowded to watch, wanting to see which wealthy family's display it was.
When they saw the villagers driving ox carts and horse carts, they were stunned and wanted to squeeze out and follow the villagers to escape the famine to Taizhou.
There were so many refugees that by the time they squeezed out, the ox carts and horse carriages had already driven away. They could not catch up with them, so they had to return dejectedly.
They regretted it very much. If they had known that there were ox carts to ride when fleeing the famine, they would have followed them to Taizhou.
But there is no medicine for regret in the world. Once you miss it, you miss it.
The villagers of Gaoling Village also looked out. When they saw Gao Zhijun sitting outside the carriage, they were shocked. Wasn't that Gao Tianwu's daughter? Shouldn't she be dead? Why was she sitting in the carriage?
The people in Gaoling Village couldn't understand why Gao Zhijun was in the carriage. Some villagers thought that the bandits might have thought she was pretty and didn't kill her, but took her away to be the woman in charge of the family.
The villagers of Banpo Village were also shocked when they saw Sun Fusheng's eldest son driving a horse-drawn carriage.
Although they knew that Sun Fusheng's youngest son, Sun Tielong, worked as a bodyguard in the escort agency and earned a lot of money every month, his family was one of the best in the village and could afford a horse-drawn carriage, which was something that Banpo Village had never had before.
The refugees in the greenhouse all had their own thoughts about the departing convoy.
The rain kept falling for several days in a row and showed no sign of stopping.
On the seventh day of heavy rain, Governor Chu ordered the constables and soldiers to send the people to Youzhou for refuge.
Gao Zhijun and her companions walked for five days before they left Youzhou.
During these five days, there were sporadic bandits who wanted to rob, but they were all scared away by the villagers of Huojia Village.
Before setting off, Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian bought ten knives and daggers for self-defense.
When I was hungry, I ate bread in the car. When I was thirsty, I drank water from a basin.
The rain that falls from the sky does not fall to the ground, so the water is not very dirty.
It's really hard to find a place to boil water on rainy days.
As they walked further and further, there were no more bandits on the road, and few passers-by were seen. Only a few ox carts or horse carriages passed by. Seeing this scene, the coachmen were so scared that they dared not cause trouble.
Ten days passed like this, and the heavy rain continued to fall.
