Qi Kang'an poked his daughter's head to the side with his finger, "Why do you dare to say anything like this? Old Emperor, ah, the Emperor must have such an intention, otherwise the officials below would not dare to do this.
It also costs a lot of money to send prisoners to Lingnan. If the Accounts Department doesn't pay this amount, how can they be willing to send it themselves? "
Just wipe it with a knife and forget it.
"The Ministry of Household Affairs gave it to me. Doesn't this mean that the emperor acquiesced? Dad heard that in many places, you can no longer use money to pay for conscription. If you don't want to be conscripted, the whole family can only become a military household."
Anyway, they are trying to get people to places in Lingnan that can produce a lot of grain.
Qi Bao'er had stars in her eyes when she looked at her father. Her father looked like a country guy. He was so powerful and well-informed.
Being admired by his daughter, Qi Kang'an's eyebrows were trembling and the corners of his mouth were rising, "Generally speaking, our daughter is a titled princess. If my father is too bad, he will be laughed at and eaten."
The words "eat soft rice" were first heard from a family in a village where his daughter was on the way to escape, and the whole family relied on their daughter-in-law.
If it were another father and daughter, I would definitely kiss you first if you are tired of being clingy to me. But Qi Baoer rolled his eyes, turned around and sat back, and just let the topic pass.
"Dad, you are overthinking. There are already many people in Qilin Kingdom who have been exiled for committing crimes. It's just that in the past, they were exiled in various places in the southeast, northwest, and in the past two years, they have all gone to Lingnan."
When Qi Kangan thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case.
Those sentenced to death in the Qilin Congress include: treason, treason (including destroying royal temples and mausoleums), treason (beating and murdering elders), immorality (killing three people in a family and dismembering people), disrespect, and unfilial piety.
Disharmony (murder of elders and relatives), injustice (officials killing each other, soldiers killing officials, students killing teachers, etc.), civil strife (relatives committing adultery or rape, etc.), adultery, etc.
However, although there are strict rules and regulations, there is still room for accommodation. Whether there are extenuating circumstances depends on how the officials in charge will judge.
For example, in cases of murder and injustice, some people fail to resist because they have been abused for a long time and cannot bear it anymore. When there are many witnesses, officials will usually change the death penalty to exile at their discretion.
Qi Kang'an paused for a moment, thinking that doing this was boring.
The road to transporting relief food can only be considered the beginning, and everything you say now is empty talk. Besides, there are many things that they should not worry about. There are officials in various places.
Drink, drink.
The father and daughter chatted here and there, praying for health and safety, and drank all the wine. After collecting the food and drinks together, the father and daughter went back to their tents to rest.
The night passed peacefully.
The prisoners didn't get much rest. It stopped raining last night. It was such a coincidence.
The officials knew without asking for instructions, and at five o'clock the next day they rushed the prisoners to the city gate to meet.
The team starts again.
There were quite a few changes in the group of prisoners who set off again. There were many more two-wheeled or one-wheeled carts. There were at least a few bags of things on the carts, and almost everyone was wrapped in thick winter clothes.
If you don't look at the outermost prison clothes they wear, they look a bit like the escape team from Qijia Village.
After that, it was peaceful for more than ten days. It didn't rain again, and the number of prisoners did not decrease. There were even fewer and fewer prisoners who were sick, because many of them had prepared their own food.
Most of the prisoners seemed to be in good condition.
At seven o'clock that night, the large team finally arrived outside Jingcheng.
A few hundred meters away, the gate of Jingcheng has opened.
Scouts had already informed them in advance. The soldiers guarding the city gate had already known that the relief food team would arrive at this time, and the prefect of Jingzhou personally went out of the city gate to greet them.
The team transporting relief food was focused on safety. The prefect of Jingzhou knew better than to bring all the officials in Jingcheng to greet them. Instead, he was alone, with not even a servant accompanying him.
"Wei Pingyi, the magistrate of Jingcheng, is under the official title. See Prince Li, see Princess Anle, see Prince Da'an, and see Princess Da'an."
Prince Li: "Get up. Is the inn ready?"
Magistrate Wei got up and answered respectfully with his head slightly lowered: "Yes, the inn has been cleared."
"Where are the original guests in the inn?"
"The lower official has also made arrangements and invited them to stay in other inns for one night. The money will be paid by the government."
"Well, lead the way."
"yes."
The communication between the two parties was so simple that it even seemed perfunctory, but this was the most correct way for the local government to treat the teams delivering disaster relief food.
It’s not that they rush into the city with a bang, announcing to everyone in the city: Disaster relief money and food are coming through here, go and tell the people behind them, come and grab it!
-
The big post station in the main city of Yizhou can accommodate not only 20,000 soldiers and more than 2,000 prisoners, but also twice as many people.
It's just...
Every time the disaster relief money and grain pass through each town, if people are suspended from staying in the city's inns, the stations must be cleared to ensure the safety of the disaster relief money and grain.
However, when Qi Baoer and the others arrived, there were still many people in the inn. Those imperial doctors who could take a shortcut from the capital and avoid going through Yong'an City arrived at Jingcheng early.
It is said that these people have been staying at Jingcheng Station for three days.
In a certain upper room on the third floor, a young man opened the door and came in. Opposite the door, there was an old man with a white beard writing at the desk.
"Master, the disaster relief food team has arrived."
The old man put down his pen: "It's almost time. My old bones are almost sick."
The young man smiled and joked: "Master, didn't you bring this on yourself?"
The old man glared at him angrily, "What are you talking about?"
But he didn't ask for it. The emperor didn't ask him to go to the south. He asked the emperor himself.
"Have you seen Princess Anle?"
"Not only did I see Princess Anle, I also saw a silver wolf."
It doesn't matter what the silver wolf is. When he heard that Princess Anle had indeed arrived, the old man patted his clothes and left, "I'm going to see Princess Anle."
I have become me, so you can see that he is anxious.
The young man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed him, "Master, please be kind. They have just arrived after a long journey. You must not give them time to settle down, wash up, have a meal or something."
Besides, we will follow Princess Anle and the others for the rest of the journey anyway, so there is no rush now.
Don't go up here and disturb others, you will give a bad impression first."
The old man thought the same thing, "Okay, Princess Anle must be tired after a long day of walking. I will ask her for advice tomorrow."
The young man breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced down at the stairs just now. The little milk baby who walked in seemed to have a bad expression. If the master passed by at this time, he might have hit the wooden warehouse entrance.
Not all the noble masters in the palace are like this. Regardless of why they are in a bad mood, if they are unlucky enough, they will definitely not get good results.
Qi Baoer was indeed in a worried mood at this time, and it was the first time in her journey that her emotions were clearly exposed.
Prince Li was so frightened that he stopped talking, and Qi Kang'an left everything to Fang Qizhui's daughter.
