After a simple meal, Jiang Huaixu listened to the noise in the inn and wanted to buy some hot water to wash. Due to the cold and drought, she hadn't taken a bath for a long time. Fu Tuan sometimes looked down on her and wouldn't let him touch her.
After struggling for a while, I felt a little sleepy, so I went to sleep. There were too many lice, so I didn't feel itchy. Everything was almost settled, so I just left it alone for the time being.
On the second day, Jiang Huaixu deliberately found Yuantou and tried to get close to him. Perhaps it was for Cang Heng's sake, and although Yuantou didn't want to bother with her, a young girl, he still revealed some news from the outside world.
Currently, disaster victims fleeing south are being stopped at various locations, supposedly to prevent them from causing unrest in Jiangnan. Jiangnan's land is fertile, and about half of Jin's grain comes from Jiangnan, making it a veritable granary. If Jiangnan can't be defended, unrest will spread throughout the country.
What the court was considering had nothing to do with the victims. The victims originally wanted to flee south to find a chance of survival, but were stopped halfway. They were already very angry, and at this time someone raised his arms and rebelled directly.
"Uncle Yuan, have the Nanxia people from Huai'an Prefecture been driven out?"
"How can it be that easy? Although we did receive good news a few days ago, the world is in such chaos right now! Even if the Nanxia people are gone, there are still the victims of the disaster, and there are still the barbarians in the north. It looks like it will take a while before things settle down."
Jiang Huaixu was very curious about the current emperor. How did he manage to bring the country to its knees in just nine years? Even though there were force majeure factors like natural disasters, he hadn't seen anyone send anyone to provide disaster relief.
The provincial governments encountered along the way avoided the disaster victims from all over the place and only cared about protecting themselves. It can be seen that the court was indeed inactive.
Perhaps it was the short lifespan of the dynasty, coupled with internal and external troubles, that led to the current situation. I'm afraid the Jin dynasty will be in turmoil for a while.
Jiang Huaixu probably never imagined that as the founding emperor of the Jin Dynasty, it would be beyond his ability to provide disaster relief without his full strength. Knowing that his destiny was approaching, he secretly drafted a secret decree. After the good news from Huai'an Prefecture arrived, he attended the first morning court in recent days despite his sick body. After the decree for disaster relief was passed down layer by layer, a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the originally gray sky.
Jiang Huaixu asked about the situation in Chongming Prefecture. Chongming Prefecture was adjacent to the barbarians and close to the sea in the east. The four seasons in Ganzhou were relatively distinct, but further north it was very cold in winter.
After knowing the general situation, Jiang Huaixu felt more at ease.
In the afternoon they stopped at a place called Linqing County.
After finding out that it was not their home place, the villagers stopped getting restless. Jiang Huaixu took a look at the scene of the county town scanned by Futuan. It was certainly not as good as Ganzhou City, but it was also one of the most prosperous county towns she had ever seen.
Lian Yuyi got off the carriage and searched for a long time before she saw Jiang Huaixu standing there in a daze. She called out, "Sister Ah Xu!"
Jiang Huaixu quickly reacted and walked up to Lian Yuyi. "Sister Yuyi? Your family settled in Linqing County?"
Lian Yuyi reluctantly held onto Jiang Huaixu's hand, looking dejected. "Well, my mother said we should settle down here temporarily. It's close to Ganzhou City and convenient. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other often in the future."
"I just asked. My family's Beichuan County is only thirty miles away from Linqing County. If I go to Ganzhou City in the future, I can visit you on the way. At the very least, we can still communicate."
"Okay." Lian Yuyi gradually became happy. "If I have time in the future, I will come to your house to play."
"Yes!" Jiang Huaixu nodded heavily.
The two exchanged a few more words, and the maidservant beside Lian Yuyi anxiously called out several times before they were able to separate.
"Little sister, you are too close to this Miss Lian. I'm jealous!" Jiang Wei pouted with a bad feeling in her heart.
Jiang Huaixu smiled and shook Jiang Wei's arm, "Sister, you are my sister, what is there to be jealous of?"
The two laughed and joked for a while, and then the carriage set off again. This time, only Jiang Huaixu and his group were left.
On the following journey, Jiang Huaixu learned from Yuantou that these people were from wealthy families. Even if their family members had achieved fame, they had to pay enough silver if they wanted to settle down in a county town so close to Ganzhou City.
Just like modern school district housing, it turns out that unscrupulous businessmen are everywhere in ancient and modern times, both in China and abroad, and they can make money anywhere.
Jiang Huaixu and his party arrived in Beichuan County at noon on the third day. They first lined up in front of the county government office to let the clerk check the household registration of each household. They had to explain the discrepancies in the household registration and had to have someone act as a guarantor before they could register the household registration information.
What if your household registration is lost? You can just pay money and get someone you know to sign as a guarantor.
The villagers who followed Jiang Zhengmao kept their household registrations well, but some of the mountain people rescued from Yangjiao Mountain lost their household registrations.
Finding someone they knew well to act as a guarantor was not difficult, but the hard part was money, which they simply didn't have. Among them was Qi Dafu's family. When the two elderly people heard that they had to pay money to settle down, they burst into tears.
"Oh, don't cry, don't cry. It's not that we can't come up with the money. Those who don't have household registration can come to me to get the money! Let's get through the current difficulties first, and we can talk about the money later." Jiang Zhengmao said as he walked to a corner and waved to the mountain people who didn't have household registration.
The mountain people cried with joy when they heard this, and no longer delayed, as nothing else mattered more than settling down.
After the registration was completed, the clerk gave each family a bamboo card and asked them to go and collect their things. Everyone had never thought that they could get anything and was very excited for a while. Even if each family only received half a pound of food and some old cotton clothes after queuing up, they were still very satisfied.
Seeing them like this, Yuantou felt more sincere and had a good talk with Jiang Zhengmao before leaving.
"This Yuantou is really kind and righteous. He told us that if we have any problems in Ganzhou City in the future, we can just look for him." Jiang Zhengmao said with emotion after sending the man away.
"Brother Zhengmao, Yuantou is gone. What should we do after we get the things?" Jiang Boliang asked.
