He saw the yamen escorting them handing a book about the same size as their household registration book with a light orange cover to the yamen guarding the city gate.
The officer guarding the city gate opened the book and looked at it for a few times, then took out a palm-sized purse from his waist, took out a two-finger-wide seal, and stamped it on the book.
Gan!
Qi Kang'an looked at his daughter, and Qi Bao'er was also looking back at him from there. Both father and daughter's eyes looked a bit like, 'I almost got blocked outside Pingchun County'.
No wonder.
No wonder they are not afraid of knowing too much.
It is not enough to change the household registration register. It turns out that they have to obtain documents from the government, otherwise they are still not even considered ordinary people and do not have the qualifications.
After all, although they changed the color of their household registration book, their household registration location is still Xia Qijia Village, Peifeng Town, Yingzhou.
The carriage moved forward slowly again, and Qi Kang'an also hugged his daughter and returned to the carriage.
Song Shuming put down the book in his hand and looked over, questioningly: "Anzi, what happened?"
The book was given by Old Man Yuan. Knowing that all the men in their family were literate, Old Man Yuan moved a whole box of books here early in the morning, saying that they were books left by his son, but Qi Kangan and the others looked through them.
The books are all new.
Although Song Shuming never participated in the imperial examination in his life, his knowledge may not be as good as that of Qiwen Fang. However, Song Shuming's father's household registration was a merchant, and he stopped taking the imperial examination as soon as he was born.
"Little uncle,..." Qi Kang'an explained what he saw one by one.
After hearing this, Song Shuming was silent for a moment and then said: "If you don't do anything for yourself, heaven will punish you and the earth will destroy you."
Song Xiaofeng raised his head and asked confusedly: "Master, what do you mean?"
Song Shuming smiled and rubbed his head: "As far as we know, the magistrate of Wuyuan Town is not a bad person. Not only is he not bad, he also helps the people of Wuyuan Town live a good life.
However, the current situation is like this. Although he is the county magistrate, he is only the county magistrate. For the people to live the life they have now, it is not possible to just follow the normal path, do you understand? "
Song Xiaofeng was still confused. This content was too profound for a five-year-old child.
Song Shuming did not force his grandson to understand at such a young age, but turned to look at Qi Bao'er, "Does Bao'er understand?"
Qi Baoer nodded: "No matter what decision we make, there will be someone to escort us."
It's just... if you still tell the truth without buying food, then you will be escorted to the underworld.
Song Shuming nodded happily, "Yes, they will not embarrass us with the paperwork, and will only send us out of town smoothly, but we will encounter 'accidents' on the way."
Qi Baoer naturally shrank into his father's arms, and Qi Kang'an hugged his daughter tightly even more naturally.
Song Shuming asked again: "Does Bao'er think that the move of the county magistrate of Wuyuan Town is right or wrong?"
Qi Baoer looked at him doubtfully, why did he ask her this question?
Qi Kang'an also looked at him in confusion. Why did he feel that his uncle had some evil intentions?
Being looked at by both father and daughter with scrutinizing eyes, Song Shuming remained calm and kept smiling at the two of them.
has a problem.
However, Qi Baoer still thought about it seriously and replied: "Sister-in-law, I think there is no right or wrong, only a matter of stance.
From the standpoint of the county magistrate and the people of Wuyuan Town, the county magistrate is not wrong. As far as I know, Wuyuan Town has a population of more than 36,000. On the surface, it is just a food issue, but if you think about it deeply, if
The imperial court took the matter seriously, and after careful investigation, it was found that not only the county magistrate was involved, but the entire Wuyuan town was probably involved.
Compared with four hundred people and nearly 40,000 people, if it were me, I would choose 40,000 people.
But from our own standpoint, he is wrong, how innocent are we?"
"Then if Bao'er were in the position of county magistrate of Wuyuan Town, would you allow the people to remain poor, or would you be like the county magistrate?"
This question,,,
Qi Baoer looked at Song Shuming quite speechlessly: "Sister-in-law, as long as the people are obedient, I have ten thousand ways to let the people live a good life without the court blaming me at all.
However, brother-in-law, have you forgotten that I am a girl and cannot be an official?"
It's OK to brag, just forget it.
Song Shuming looked at her enigmatically, then picked up the book to read again.
This stance made Qi Kangan and his daughter even more confused.
Qi Kang'an raised his eyebrows at his daughter: "Baby, we have to learn to be humble. My father is too embarrassed to listen to your bullshit."
Qi Baoer blinked: It's completely impossible to happen, let's just relax and brag.
Qi Kang'an: Just relax, you brag needs to be heard, and I'm afraid you won't be beaten.
When he left the county town, Qi Kang'an opened the car curtain and took a look. The yamen leader took the document and stamped it to the yamen guarding the city gate.
After exiting the city gate, head forward.
This place under the jurisdiction of the imperial court was different. The snow on the road was cleared by people. Not only their group was on the road, but there were also many caravans in front and behind.
It seemed that the weather was cold and everyone was too lazy to visit relatives, so I didn't see any single carriages. They were all carrying goods in dozens or dozens of vehicles.
The carriage was a little bumpy, but with Qi Kang'an as a balancer, Qi Bao'er, who was held in Qi Kang'an's arms, could hardly feel any shaking. There was also a heating basin burning in the car, which was just right for a rest with her eyes closed.
I closed my eyes, swayed slightly and fell asleep.
The government officials are very reliable. They will always end up in the town or county at night along the way. With the convenience of wearing official uniforms, they also quickly open an inn and help everyone find a place to rest.
Qi Kang'an doesn't have to worry about it, he just needs to pay and arrange how everyone will live.
Even these yamen servants don't talk much. To be precise, it's not that they don't talk much, but they don't talk much to them, as if they are avoiding them. Apart from a few words exchanged between the yamen head and Qi Kang'an on the way,
Others stayed away from everyone.
What's more, when they arrived at the gate of Pingcheng, the yamen handed the documents to a bookkeeper outside the city gate, then turned around and left with a group of yamen servants without even saying goodbye.
This made Qi Kang'an, who was about to sigh a few words when he saw the mighty high city wall, suddenly lost his mood, "...Bao, are we infected with any disease?"
Qi Baoer was lying in his father's arms, his face facing the direction in which the government officials were leaving. When they came, their horses were walking slowly with the convoy, but now they were all running wildly.
It's quite like running for one's life.
"No."
But it is estimated that in the hearts of those government officials, they are more terrifying than the epidemic. The epidemic can still be cured. This group of people, especially the Lao Qi family, in the hearts of the government officials, or someone told them, if they offend them, they must directly
die.
The clerk holding the document in his hand trotted over with a big smile, "Are you Mr. Qi Kang Anqi? Is this Miss Bao?"
Um?
The father and daughter looked at each other, what is going on?
The clerk smiled and explained: "Our prefect and General Weiwei are close friends. General Weiwu wrote to our prefect a long time ago, informing us of the time of your arrival.
It's just that the prefect has something to do and is unable to come here, so he specially sent a small official to wait here."
With this explanation, it became clear that they were again thanks to General Xiao Wu.
