The people sitting in a crowd outside the city gate heard the sound of the wheels turning, and they all looked this way.
The sun has set lower than the city tower, and the shadows of the trees fall shimmeringly on the Shen family.
Those sitting outside the city gate couldn't tell exactly how much stuff the Shen family brought, but they knew from the sound that there were many carts.
The cart must be filled with grain.
The Shen family put away their knives before arriving at the city gate, fearing that the government would think they were not good citizens.
But looking at the looks in those people's eyes, he had no choice but to take out the knife again.
The shining blade refracted the cold light and projected it to the side, causing those who were staring to converge their gazes a little.
But even so, the Shen family stopped in their tracks.
After retreating a few meters, he stopped.
Ms. Zhao lowered her voice and asked, "What's going on? I see that the refugees are all locked up outside the city gate."
Mr. Shen said: "Let's stop here first. The second, third, and young boy Ji Xun, you three will follow me to find out the news."
"Okay, here we come."
Shen Yun quickly stopped the bullock cart, jumped out and walked to Mr. Shen's side.
Shen Ming and Ji Xun also walked over, and the four of them headed towards the city gate.
The remaining people did not unload anything from the bullock cart. They were all anxiously waiting for Mr. Shen and the others to inquire about the situation before making a decision.
Shen Yuyu looked at Fei Yanche, who had been following her all the way.
Asked: "What do you think this is going on?"
Fei Yanche said: "There are too many refugees and the city cannot accommodate them. Someone must have thought of a way to temporarily stabilize these refugees."
Shen Yuyu was thinking the same thing.
Dashan County is the first city on the way south, and many people who choose to go south will definitely make this their first choice.
You can tell by looking at the number of people outside the city gate that many people are indeed making such plans.
Shen Yuyu asked again: "Then do you think it's better for us to stay here, or continue to go south?"
Fei Yanche smiled, his face was obviously pockmarked by Shen Yu's paintings, but his eyes were shining brightly.
"Naturally, they will continue to move south. Although some people in the city have found a way to temporarily stabilize these refugees, it is not a long-term solution. The refugee counterattack will be even more severe. Even if they enter the city, they will not be much better, so it is still Leave early."
Shen Yue nodded and replied: "I will tell them when they come back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she asked in a low voice: "Did you remember something?"
Fei Yanche lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and said half-truthfully: "I remembered part of it. It seems that I know a lot about Da Wei's situation."
All he remembered were things that appeared in intermittent dreams.
In fact, the lost memory has not been recovered yet.
"Then you remember who you are."
After waiting for a moment, Fei Yanche's deep voice sounded: "Yeah."
Just when Shen Yuyu wanted to ask something more but didn't think about how to say it, Mr. Shen, who had just gone to inquire about the news, came back with three other people.
After returning, everyone quickly surrounded the four of them, asking about the situation over there.
Mr. Shen pressed his hand to signal everyone to stop.
The four of them talked about what they had just learned.
"I just found out that most of the people outside the city gate come from our prince's fiefdom."
"There are a lot of people outside the city gate. I took a quick look and saw that there were nearly a thousand people. The city couldn't accommodate that many people, so they all stayed outside."
Mrs. Song asked: "With so many people, we can't let anyone in. Then are they willing to wait outside?"
Shen Yun opened his mouth and replied: "It doesn't mean that no one is allowed to enter this city."
Seeing that everyone was looking over, Shen Yun continued: "You can enter the city if you want, but each person needs to pay ten taels of silver. After entering the city, you have to figure out how to settle down, or you will be taken by a nobleman from the city. Go in, you can go in that way."
"I heard from people outside the city that rich households from the city would come out to give porridge every morning. They relied on their daily meal of porridge to survive."
"But more and more people are gathering outside the city, and now the porridge has become clearly visible."
After they finished speaking, Mr. Zhang Mancang opened his mouth to speak.
"Ten taels of silver per person! It doesn't matter if you enter the city government, but you need to spend money to find a place to live and buy property. Isn't this a bottomless pit?"
Everyone fell silent again. Normally, two or three taels of silver would be enough for a large family for a year, but now you need to pay ten taels of silver before entering the city gate!
Old Mrs. Shen pulled Shen Yuyu aside and asked her in a low voice: "Good girl, how much money do we have left, is it enough for the rest of us to go to the city?"
Most of the money of the Shen family now belongs to Shen Yuyu, and she is in charge of all the money coming in and out. That's why Mrs. Shen asked this question.
Of course the money is enough, but Shen Yuyu has no intention of settling here.
