Yun Xi and Liu Xingzhi looked at each other. In fact, they were not that concerned about whether they could be grouped with the people in Liujia Village. Instead, they were indifferent to their status as military households.
As long as they are still farmers, even if they are assigned to a remote place, they both believe that they can make money and improve their lives.
If you don't want to be a military household, you have to take care of yourself. This thought made both of them's eyes light up.
Although there is no way to use the gold given by Qi Heng, it can be used to do some things.
If the person in charge knew the origin of the gold, he would probably be given some face. Even if the distribution was a little off, it would not be like a military household. After all, there is obviously no need to quarrel with someone who can produce the gift given by the emperor.
necessary.
If you don't recognize this gold, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as ordinary gold. There are two ingots of gold, so I think the number is enough.
If they meet Qi Heng in the future, they can also defend themselves on the issue of household introduction.
After much thought, both of them thought this was a good idea, so they decided to ask and see what was going on.
"Big brother and second brother, you guys stay here and guard Third Grandpa and the others. Let's go over and have a look! See if we can find a way out!" Now that they had made up their minds, the two of them did not delay, and after giving an explanation, they took Xu Dashu and others with them.
Walk towards the city gate.
In addition to a few teams of guards at the city gate, there were only two people responsible for registering and issuing road signs. They moved very quickly, and Yunxi estimated that they could handle about a hundred households in one hour.
Although there are many people in front of the city gate, according to the number of households, they are not too many. After all, in ancient times, people believed in having more children and grandchildren. A household may have several people, or even dozens or hundreds of people.
Based on this calculation, it is estimated that the waiting time for them will not be too long!
Several people quietly walked around the registration desk and saw a man who looked like a wealthy family. Each of them stuffed a silver ingot to the two people, and successfully obtained the wooden sign representing the farmer.
What the rich family gave was fair and honest, and what the two received was fair and square. It seemed to be an agreed upon thing.
"It seems that this cashier matter has been officially agreed upon!" Liu Xingzhi frowned. With the official involvement, will anything happen if they take out the gold? After all, using something given by the emperor is a serious crime.
!
"I'm going to find out something!" Yun Xi took a step forward, stopped the rich man, and congratulated with a smile: "Congratulations to this gentleman for being assigned to a good place!"
Seeing that she was a pretty young lady, the wealthy man's attitude improved obviously. He waved his hand and said: "There is nothing to congratulate. I have inquired before about how much money will be distributed. There are already unwritten rules!
The pointed wooden sign in my hand costs twenty taels. There is also a diamond-shaped wooden sign, which is the cheapest and costs only five taels of silver. Of course, it is also distributed in the most remote places, and the most expensive oval-shaped one is
, it is said that it can be allocated to the suburbs of the capital, and it will take a full hundred taels.
The kind is basically prepared for officials and wealthy men. For our kind, they usually have pointed or diamond-shaped wooden plaques.
As for those holding iron cards, they are all military households. Most of them are people who have no money to manage.
If you become a military household, you will never have the chance to leave. You never know when you will have to go to the battlefield again, and you may lose your head at any time!
So if you want to be a farmer, you’d better prepare some money, otherwise you have to sell yourself to some big households and follow them. Even if you are a servant, it is better than being a military household!”
"Thank you for your advice, sir!" Yun Xi thanked him repeatedly and said some nice words before turning back to Liu Xingzhi and repeating what the man said.
"What do you think?" Liu Xingzhi asked people to queue up and whispered: "My idea is to give you two ingots of gold in exchange for seven pointed wooden signs!"
Yun Xi nodded, "I guess the diamond-shaped wooden plaques are probably distributed around here. It's too close to the battlefield and it's really unsafe. Two ingots of gold, equivalent to two hundred taels of silver, can be exchanged for seven diamond-shaped wooden plaques.
, it should be no problem!”
Liu Xingzhi nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "If no one discovers the gold problem, there should be no problem!"
After saying that, he thought of something and added: "Think of it as borrowing it from you, and I will definitely pay it back to you in the future!"
Yun Xi was non-committal and would wait until this point was passed. Although she loves money, she also depends on the occasion!
There were a lot of people queuing up, but most of the ordinary ones were directly divided into military households, so the family was only delayed for about a minute. Those who were assigned were sent away directly by the nearby guards without stopping at all.
Therefore, I saw that the crowd dispersed very quickly, but after waiting for two hours, they were almost waiting for Yunxi.
Just when everyone thought victory was in sight, a few servants from the family in front suddenly walked out, surrounded several people, stepped forward to grab Xu Dashu and others, and started to kick them up.
Such a change of events shocked everyone.
One was surprised that someone dared to cause trouble here, and the other was shocked by the nobility of that family.
I saw a young man getting off the carriage. The purple brocade was shiny, and the orange belt that represented the official status was tied around his waist. There was an extremely transparent jade pendant hanging from it. The appearance showed that it was expensive.
Yun Xi frowned. Officials in this era were distinguished by the color of their belts. Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, purple represented the first rank, red represented the seventh rank, and orange represented the sixth rank.
A sixth-grade official suddenly came to trouble them. In this era when reputation was not in dispute with officials, it was a big crisis.
"Sir Yu, what's going on? But these unruly people have offended you!" The person in charge of registration is a ninth-grade secretary, who is much lower than the sixth-grade official, so he is naturally very polite.
Moreover, when everyone is fleeing, there is such a magnificent carriage and dozens of servants, which is obviously not an ordinary person.
"It's nothing, I just saw some arrogant guys and couldn't help it!" The young man looked at Yun Xi and others with disdain. Seeing that they all looked confused, he smiled mockingly and said like a cat chasing a mouse: "Hey
Hey! It seems that some of you are really noble people who forget things a lot. You must have done too many immoral things and you don’t even remember them at all!"
Liu Xingzhi frowned and turned his eyes to the man, confirming that he didn't recognize him. But he did know about the Yu family, but he didn't know if it was the Yu family in his previous life. If so, he might be in trouble today!
"Third brother, look, it's that old man Ye Dewang!" Liu Silang's sharp eyes saw a familiar face in the group of servants, and his expression changed greatly.
They deliberately left in a hurry that day and left Ye Dewang in the woods. Unexpectedly, he was not dead yet, and even sneaked into the official's house.
