Chapter 99 The most important thing is to rely on yourself(2/2)
"You don't understand." Yang Xuan didn't explain.
The people in the city have been waiting for news.
Food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, illness and death are the necessities of a person's life.
Zhang Qifa, who is like a bamboo pole that can be blown down by a gust of wind, runs a coffin shop, but as one of the three business giants in the city, Zhang Qifa also runs a counter-travel business.
In front is the reverse journey, behind is the coffin.
So Zhang Qifa occupied both food, clothing, housing and transportation, birth, old age, illness and death.
From the moment the death camp left the city, Zhang Qifa was anxious.
He squatted inside the gate, trembling all over, while his wife and children behind him were calmer.
When the shouts of death came, Zhang Qifa turned around and went in, cursing: "Why are you still squatting? Hurry up and carry your baggage. Do you have enough money to sew the corners of the two children's clothes?"
His wife nodded, "It's sewn."
Zhang Qifa picked up his burden and looked at his property. He couldn't help but feel sad, "How can I give up such an inheritance?"
The shouting outside suddenly became loud.
"Could it be that the city has been breached?" Zhang Qifa trembled all over, "We ran fast five years ago, and we will still do the same this time. Be prepared. I will hold Erlang, and you will hold Dalang. If there is any chaos, we will run away."
The whole family was waiting, shaking like chaff.
The sound of horse hooves came suddenly.
"Enter the city!"
Zhang Qifa leaned over and picked up his second son, "Let's go!"
"The Ming government has issued an order that the people in the city can go out of the city to collect the corpses, and they will be rewarded afterwards!"
"What?" Zhang Qifa heard the sound and looked out, and saw a horse rushing over. On the horse was Zhen Siwen.
"Victory?" an old man shouted.
Zhen Siwen said proudly: "If the Ming Dynasty's command is determined, our army will win a great victory!"
Zhang Qifa put down his youngest son, clasped his hands and prayed: "Thank you to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and thank you to Yang Ming Mansion."
He said with a red face: "We have won a great victory. Those horse thieves are just a mob. The Ming Dynasty is so wise, how can it be invincible? Hahahaha!"
The family next door rushed out, and the last one shouted: "Zhang Langjun, go collect the corpses and make money!"
Zhang Qifa said reservedly: "Do I need the money? Go ahead!"
Looking back, he said to his wife with dissatisfaction: "Nothing else, hurry up and bake the pancakes and send them to the county house later. After all, it's a kindness."
In the backyard of the county house, Yi Niang knelt on the mat and prayed softly.
"Please, your majesty, please keep me safe..."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty is not as good as a weak man, he works hard for big things. Hard work is just that, your Majesty still has to fight, he still has to go... Your Majesty, your Majesty once said that he hoped that your Majesty would be an ordinary person. If your Majesty is alive in heaven,
Just bless your husband and let him be an ordinary person..."
"Victory!"
Suddenly cheers came from outside.
Yi Niang wanted to get up, but she felt that her prayer was not over yet, and she did not respect the emperor's filial piety.
"A great victory." There were more cheers.
Yi Niang couldn't bear it any longer and said in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I'll go ahead."
All the way to the outside of the county, she saw people running out from house to house. She even saw two strong men running with an old man on their backs, and she said angrily: "Why are you torturing the old man?"
The old man trembled, "The Ming government has said that those who leave the city will be rewarded on a per-head basis. Dalang, Erlang, please hurry up and don't be overtaken by others."
As Yi Niang stood there, people kept running past her towards the outside of the city.
She raised her head.
"Are you asking for people's support? That's right. Whenever the concubines in the palace get rewards, they will share them with the people below. In this way, everyone is united. Lang Jun actually understands such methods..."
She turned around and clasped her hands together, "Your Majesty, we have won a great victory."
The wind picked up the fallen leaves and fluttered in the air.
Yi Niang seemed to see the filial emperor back then. He smiled and touched the infant child and said, "Let him spend his life in peace."
"Wan Sheng!"
