"This is your county magistrate." Qi Kang'an gave a thumbs up.
"Our county magistrate ran away a long time ago, and we don't know anything yet. If we didn't have many friends, we might still be in the dark right now."
"That is, you have to leave, otherwise you will settle here. No matter how chaotic it is outside, we will be safe here."
Qi Kangan's eyes flashed and he was about to continue talking when the officer's face suddenly changed and he stood up straight.
In a blink of an eye, it turned out that it was the Yatou walking over.
"What's going on?" So many people came into the city?
"Boss, it's a master who has passed the exam with his people."
"Master Juren?"
"Yes, that's the boss, and there's a boy standing next to the horse over there. They seem to be a big family."
Although the household registration stated that they came from the village, all of these people were well-dressed, just dirty, so the government officials classified them into wealthy villages where families gathered.
Their Beiyang town is the poorest town within hundreds of miles. I heard that in many places outside, the villages are richer than their town.
The yamen officer pointed to the people behind who had not yet entered the town, "There are many people from the same village but from different ethnic groups, and they will also enter the town with them."
The comrade's originally cold face immediately revealed a smile, "Do things well and tell them that if they don't settle down, they can only stay in the town for ten days at most?"
"said."
The yamen servant approached the yamen head and whispered: "Boss, I think these people are rich, do I really want to let them go in ten days?"
He then winked at the yamen, who were waiting at the gate of the town, in the direction of Lao Qi's family: "Boss, look at that little fat kid over there. A girl can get so fat even if she's running away."
There are also the boys next to the horse. They are quite big and have good looks. Not to mention the other refugees, this family is sure to have plenty of money.
Fat baby Qi Baoer: "..."
Are you polite?
They discussed openly and openly how to deceive them and then attack them personally.
The yamen head patted the yamen servant on the shoulder with satisfaction, then walked to stand next to the yamen servant who collected city fees.
The old man Qi noticed Qi Bao'er's mood swings, lowered his head and asked: "My dear, what's wrong? Are you impatient to wait?"
How fast can it be to verify the household registration of each household?
"Master, they are discussing how to empty our pockets of money. They also call me a little girl and call me fat."
Qi Baoer had no sense of shame in complaining to her elders.
Old Man Qi suddenly turned cold, but then acted as if nothing had happened. He just lowered his head and whispered to Qi Bao'er again: "We don't care about them."
Their arms can't twist someone's thigh, and they don't have the confidence to fight with someone now.
Qi Baoer said "Oh", her father told her to endure it, so she would endure it.
It wasn't until darkness fell that everyone in Qijia Village finally passed the city gate.
These government officials were able to earn a lot of money this time. The hundreds of liang people in Qijia Village were all small. Unexpectedly, the refugees following them had a lot of money in their pockets. Forty or fifty people came in after them, with each person having 10 liang.
, this is four to five hundred taels.
Qi Kangfu, who had gone into the town early to check out the news, came back and said, "There is only one inn in the town, but it is not small. If we squeeze in, even Uncle Du and the others can squeeze in."
But the inn is very expensive, and the cheapest room costs twenty taels of silver per night. Ordinarily, cattle and horses should be taken care of free of charge when we stay in the inn, but we have to pay for it.
Wenqian, the cow is fifteen wenqian a night.
Also, the food in the inn is expensive. A plate of green vegetables costs 20 cents. There is only white rice, and a bowl as big as your palm costs 3 cents. Meat is even more expensive. I
did not ask.
It’s okay if we don’t live in an inn. I asked a beggar and asked, and every household in the town offered to stay, but the price was not low. The beggar said that it was just a little lower than that of an inn, but the conditions were more than a little bit worse."
Beiyang Town is really poor. It can be seen from the houses in the town. The one along the main street is probably for the sake of appearance. The side facing the street is a brick wall, and the other three sides are all earthen walls.
Beiyang Town is not small, but there is only one main street. The rest are small alleys with twists and turns that even a cart cannot push through. Except for the brick wall on both sides of the main street, the other houses are all made of dirt.
Build a house.
Towards the back, many are thatched houses.
It's not as good as Qijia Village. At least half of the houses in Qijia Village are brick houses.
"Dad, do you think...?" What is their plan for the evening?
It wasn't practical to live on the street for free, they thought, and people here wouldn't be happy either.
It is already very obvious that all households can spend money to stay overnight. Now the entire Beiyang Town is almost united to earn money from refugees who are seeking refuge or passing by.
The old man Qi was silent for a moment and asked Qi Kaishan next to him, "Fourth uncle, how about we go to the inn to squeeze in? If we go to someone else's house, I guess we have to collect money in other ways. It's not as good as the inn's clearly marked price. At least we can still decide
To do it or not to do it?”
There were so many of them, and the people here didn't dare to oppress them too much, so they wouldn't be violent with so many of them, and they finally found out that they couldn't get anything out of them, so they kicked them out.
Qi Kaishan thought for a while and nodded, "Just stay in an inn. Everyone is crowded. The money spent on accommodation will be shared among each other. Those who still have money in their pockets will stay in good rooms, and those who have empty pockets will be crowded into poor rooms. This wealth is always
It needs to be broken.
As for food, eat what you have and save yourself the expensive expense.
Then we'll see if we can borrow the inn's kitchen, and we'll make all the white flour into dry food as soon as possible for convenience on the road."
After saying this, Qi Kaishan suddenly remembered something and said to the old man Qi: "The inn must have a room for Bao'er to live in. If your family doesn't have money, our family will pay for it."
Old man Qi quickly replied: "How can I ask you, Fourth Uncle, to come out? Don't worry, I will let Bao'er live well."
Qi Bao'er was already fast asleep in the arms of old man Qi. He didn't know that his status in the heart of the Fourth Master Qi Kaishan was so high.
-
Ye Sanni gently pushed Qi Bao'er, "Bao'er, wake up, get up, wash up, eat something before going to sleep."
Qi Baoer narrowed his eyes and opened a crack, where is this?
No, why is she sleeping so deeply?
Is it possible that she has completely let down her guard because of her master's embrace?
"Mom, where is this?"
After asking, I felt it was redundant. Where else could I go? I was already at the inn.
Ye Sanni went to twist out the washcloth and wiped her face neatly to wake her up, "In the inn in Beiyang Town, there are only two upper rooms, one for you and one for the old man."
Of course, this does not mean that only one person can live in each of these two rooms.
This Beiyang Town inn has a lot going on. To get a room, you just need to pay money and get the key. You have to write down the name of the person staying there.
The rooms for these two people were opened in their names.
