Because this group of people had also been infected with the disease, fortunately there was a doctor in the team, and most of them survived.
"Exiled on the fifth day of the fifth month, how lucky!"
Seeing that the exiled prisoners had no other problems except for being a little malnourished, the guards thought that they had just avoided the epidemic and made a joke with a smile.
Zhou Changsong smiled awkwardly and did not reveal the inside story. He bowed to the guards and doctors.
Afterwards, a group of people were brought to the government office. After registration, the prefect waved his hand and assigned them to Yunrou County.
He even said, "General Zhou just conquered Yunrou County not long ago, and he needs manpower to build it. Once you get there, seize the opportunity to show your skills so that you can escape forced labor as soon as possible."
Chi Xingyue understood that the prefect was just painting a rosy picture to get them to behave themselves and preferably devote themselves to building Youzhou.
Ling Jiheng nodded and bowed, thanking the prefect for his kindness.
Zhou Changsong took the opportunity to ask the prefect for mercy: "Jiangnan is suffering from floods. I wonder if we can wait for our relatives in Youzhou City?"
Yu Tingzhang thought of the news that had come from Jiangnan some time ago, and he could not help but look at the Jiangning Prefecture yamen runner with sympathy, then nodded and said, "Okay!"
If you want to settle down, you have to go to Yunrou County like Ling Jiheng and others.
Zhou Changsong didn't think much about it, thanked Lord Yu, and left.
As for the others, after hesitating for a moment, they all chose to stay and settle down in Youzhou.
Although it was freezing cold here, the government not only provided them with relief food, but was also willing to rent them land for free for three years so that they could recuperate.
As for whether to rent or buy after three years, it depends on personal willingness and ability.
Zhangjiacunlizheng felt complicated after receiving the documents.
He never imagined that the person who followed him all the way was actually an exile.
It would be fine if he was an exile, but it was a bit funny that the chief constable had to listen to an exile.
However, this group of people does not look like evildoers. I wonder what they were implicated for.
Although most people in Zhangjia Village, like the head of the village, think that the Ling family are good people, there are inevitably some who are short-sighted and do not want to associate with the exiled criminals.
"Village Chief, do we really have to go to Yunrou County? I heard it's the most remote county in Youzhou City, close to the border!"
Zhang Lizheng rolled his eyes at everyone and said, "Prefect Yu has made it very clear that there will be no relief food for those who settle in other counties. If you have money, you can go."
The man who fanned the flames smiled awkwardly and said, "How could I have any money? If I had money, I wouldn't have come out to escape the famine!"
However, what's going on with Mr. Zhang's group? They are so rich, but they actually asked to go to Yunrou County on their own initiative.
Could it be that Yunrou County is some kind of Feng Shui treasure land?"
Zhang Lizheng had a vague guess in his mind, but he didn't dare to tell the villagers.
When I brought everyone to the city gate, I happened to see Zhou Changsong saying goodbye to the Ling family.
"Everyone, take care. I believe that one day, you will be able to turn things around and have your injustices redressed. Here, I wish you all a bright future!"
Ling Jiheng patted Zhou Changsong on the shoulder: "Take care. If you have any difficulties, come to Yunrou County to find me!"
Zhou Changsong smiled gratefully: "Thank you!"
Villagers of Zhangjia Village: “…”
Are the roles reversed?
Without waiting for them to ask more questions, Ling Jiheng got on the ox cart, waved the whip, and headed towards Yunrou County.
Seeing this, others hurried to follow.
She kept muttering, "Why don't you stay a little longer? At least let me buy some clothes!"
Ling Jiheng said, since they are all exiled prisoners, is it appropriate for them to have money on them?
It’s better to hurry and buy things when you get to the county town.
Is Ling Jiheng satisfied with Yunrou County?
He said that wherever there is a fairy, it's good.
What's more, he is close to Zhou's army, so he can find an opportunity to send the letter out.
I believe that with the preparation, this time, the Zhou family army will no longer be left with no choice, and the Great Yong Dynasty will not be able to...
No, the Great Yong Dynasty will definitely fall apart. Ling Jiheng has a premonition that this time, the Zhou family will come to power!
***
As the largest prefecture in the Dayong Dynasty, Youzhou takes seven or eight days to travel from the prefecture capital to Yunrou County.
Not to mention, its area is still expanding.
Chi Xingyue looked at the pedestrians coming and going on the official road and finally felt at ease.
I immersed my consciousness into the space, wanting to see if there were any changes around the village committee building and whether the third-level task had been activated.
Unfortunately, she had been looking for half an hour, but the space was still the same as before, with no changes.
Chi Xingyue couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but he quickly gathered himself together, ran happily to the treasure, and laughed foolishly while holding the gold, silver and jade.
It’s all hers, it’s all hers, it’s so fun to be a salted fish!
He picked out a few inconspicuous pieces of silver jewelry from the pile at Yang's mansion, intending to settle down and give them to the women in his family as a treasure chest.
Then he found some common supplements from the third prince's collection and planned to give them to the old lady so that she and the old man could have some nourishment.
After all, they are Ling Jiheng's relatives. Although their lives are not in danger along the way, they have suffered a lot.
If you don’t take good care of yourself, it may affect your lifespan.
There were also candies, cakes, and small floral fabrics as rewards for the children.
During the whole journey, they did not cry or make a fuss. They were more obedient than other children and they deserve a reward.
Chi Xingyue had a good plan, but after arriving in Yunrou County, Ling Jiheng took the silver notes and went on a shopping spree, buying all the daily necessities for the four families.
There is no place for her to use her abilities at all.
Chi Xingyue spread her hands, indicating that it didn't matter. Anyway, the things would not go bad if stored in the space, so she just treated them as her personal property.
The Han, Wang, and Chen families were all dumbfounded at the time, not understanding why the Ling family was so wealthy despite having their property confiscated.
Ling Jiheng was too lazy to pretend, and patted Zhang Fugui on the shoulder and said, "My man, Gao Hongbin, was out on business when he arrived."
Now, not only the three families, but even the first and third branches of the Ling family were stunned.
The look he gave Yinbao was somewhat incredulous.
After a long while, Ling Jiyi slapped his thigh and said, "You are the, Yin, Yin, Yin Bao, right?"
"Yes, I've met the Third Young Master Ling." Yin Bao's voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and he did not bow down to the master just because the man was his master's relative.
Ling Jiheng didn't give much introduction. He stayed in the county town until mid-afternoon and then took people to Qingshan Village.
To be honest, this place was chosen by Jinbao and his friends.
As soon as Ling Jiheng entered the county government office and revealed his identity, he was looked up and down by the county magistrate.
After being amazed, they assigned them to Qingshan Village, saying that this village was closest to the county and had fertile land.
As for the labor they were required to do, Jinbao exchanged it for farming the land in exchange for silver.
Each person was responsible for ten acres of land. After the harvest, 90% would go to the government and 10% would belong to themselves, for a period of three years.
If you work hard, you can take care of food and drink, but it's too tiring.
To put it bluntly, they are similar to military households responsible for farming, but their status is still civilian.
The Han, Wang, and Chen families felt that such conditions were too harsh and costly, so they did not move.
Building cities and roads, digging rivers and building embankments, and mining in mountains only take three months a year, which is much easier than farming all year round.
