The cavalry galloped along the official road, rushed into the homes of powerful men, beheaded the heads of families with swords, and then drove out all the family members and confiscated their property.
Duke Guo of Qin said that during extraordinary times, those who take advantage of the situation and take advantage of it will not be spared!
Natural disasters are often accompanied by man-made disasters.
When a natural disaster occurs, it is a good time for a group to harvest.
The victims are crying out for food. At this time, all they have to do is wait for them to starve to death, and the vacant fields will naturally be put on the shelves.
But this requires the cooperation of officials.
The best way is to use very little money and grain to purchase land.
People are going to starve to death. You know that this deal will make your family a refugee, but if you don't sell it, you are not even qualified to be a refugee.
This is called taking advantage of the situation.
The other world is called ***!
Following Yang Xuan's order, heads of people rolled in all over Huazhou.
But what to do next?
The Ministry of Household Affairs in Chang'an has not sent any relief grain, and the grain stored in Huazhou will continue to be distributed. What will happen next spring?
The officials were looking at Yang Xuan.
"This matter is easy to handle!"
...
Jiang Erniang's village received relief, but her family received the worst food, which contained a lot of sundries.
Mrs. Ma did not dare to say anything. She took her sisters to look for things at home every day, and they also had to prepare for farming in the coming year.
When she has free time, Ma will go out quietly.
Then, news gradually spread in the village that the Ma family was planning to make Jiang Erniang a child bride.
And he was going to another village.
Jiang Erniang panicked and asked her mother.
"My son!"
Ma hugged her and cried: "Our family has offended Mr. Duan, and we will no longer have a foothold in this village. What Mr. Duan hates most is you..."
Jiang Erniang was stunned.
yes!
Now the Duan family's people are talking about making the talkative Jiang Erniang look good. When the Northern Xinjiang Army leaves, the Duan family will definitely take action...
But being a child bride is extremely difficult. The other person must be a boy younger than her, and most likely he is in poor health.
She is said to be a child bride, but in fact she is a maid.
If the boy takes good care of himself, he will most likely regret the marriage. If he does not take good care of her... once the boy is gone, she will become a walking zombie in her lifetime.
"Aniang also knows that being a child bride is hard, but no matter how hard it is, it is better than being killed by Mrs. Duan!"
In a village like this, if a wealthy family wants to kill someone, it's really not a big deal.
At night, the desperate Jiang Erniang hid in her mother's arms and prayed silently.
"Believe girl Jiang Erniang, please ask the gods to protect you and avoid this disaster..."
She prayed silently...until dawn.
My mother made breakfast, and the family ate this meal every day until the beginning of spring.
When Jiang Erniang walked out of her house, Duan Lao Er's brother Duan Lao San happened to pass by. He smiled ferociously at her and said, "Little ***, just wait to die!"
Jiang Erniang was happy and not afraid.
"Sister, aren't you afraid of him?"
Jiang Sanniang next to her asked.
"The gods will punish him!" Jiang Erniang was confident.
Ta-ta-ta!
The sound of horse hooves came.
More than ten riders rushed into the village.
"It's the Northern Xinjiang Cavalry!" someone shouted.
The leader of the cavalry said: "The Duke has issued an order. If the victims of the disaster are willing to go to Northern Xinjiang, they can pack their things and then assemble and set off!"
Jiang Erniang's eyes lit up, "I want to go home!"
Ma rushed out, regardless of the wheat noodles in his hands, and said in disbelief: "Anyone can go?"
The cavalryman nodded, "Anyone can go. We will gather tomorrow!"
"Go to my house!" Ma said without hesitation.
The cavalryman said, "Then pack your things. Where is Muramasa?"
() Muramasa arrived, and the cavalryman ordered: "Register the victims who are willing to go and hand them over to the sergeant leading the team tomorrow."
"yes!"
The cavalry left, and immediately Ma took the sisters to register.
"Mr. Ma, are you really going to Northern Xinjiang?" Someone sneered, "You, mother and daughter, are strangers to each other, so be careful if you go and be trafficked!"
Ma said firmly: "Sell it!"
Her late husband said before his death that when he went to work in the city, he heard traveling businessmen mention Northern Xinjiang, saying that every family there had land to farm and they were given free shares. Moreover, they were given cattle, farm tools, and houses to open up wasteland.
....It’s a pity that I can’t go!
For villagers who have been in the village all their lives, these words are just talk and no one dares to believe them.
But at this moment, Ma decided to give it a try!
Otherwise... She looked back and saw a group of Duan people sneering around her.
If they don't leave, their mother and daughter will not see next spring!
"That's the Duke!" Jiang Erniang shouted loudly to cheer up her mother.
"What about the Duke? The Duke has no control over our place!" A village elder coughed dryly.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away. In the village, the emperor is the village leader and the village elder.
The Duke's visit is enough to make him feel overwhelmed. Is it possible for him to come a second time?
The Duan family members sneered.
That night, Ma lit a bonfire outside the shed.
When the firewood ran out, she demolished the shed to burn it.
"Can't stop!" Ma said.
In the dark night, it seems like someone is spying here.
Jiang Erniang and her sister helped demolish the house.
When dawn appeared in the east, Ma felt relieved.
She cooked the paste over the bonfire, giving each family of three a bowl. Then she baked the remaining wheat flour into pancakes, and each person took two pieces with him.
"Don't be in a hurry to eat, unless you are going to starve to death!" In the past half month, Ma seemed to have experienced a lifetime.
The cavalry is coming.
"Whoever wants to leave, hurry up!"
Ma turned around and said, "Er Niang, take your sister and follow me!"
Mr. Ma was carrying a big baggage, which was the belongings dug out from the ruins by the mother and daughter.
"A broken family is worth a thousand dollars!" Ma said mockingly.
The mother and daughter met with more than a dozen villagers and immediately followed the cavalry.
Behind him, several village elders were muttering.
"You're probably going to suffer a lot if you go there!"
"No, if a person leaves his hometown and is humble, he will become a slave if he leaves his home. What our ancestors said will never be wrong again."
"What a pity Ma."
"What a pity. Duan Laoer was castrated. It shows that the widow is a troublemaker. She might as well go away."
"Let's stay and wait until spring next year, and it will be a good year again!"
"Yes! Those fields of the Jiang family..." a village elder laughed.
"The government will provide some benefits, and the rest will be divided among the villages.
"It's another good year, isn't it?"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ma's mother and daughter followed them to the official road.
I saw large cars lined up neatly on one side of the official road.
Dozens of cavalry are waiting.
"Register!"
A clerk, using the carriage as a desk, shouted with a pen.
Mrs. Ma took her two daughters over, and when it was her turn, she said: "Duanjiacun, Mrs. Ma, daughter, Jiang Erniang, Jiang Sanniang.
"Where are the men?" the clerk asked.
"Gone!"
The clerk lowered his head and wrote down, "Why do you want to go to Northern Xinjiang?"
Should I ask this too?
Ma didn't dare to lie, "I have offended the Duan family in the village and I don't dare to stay."
"A village tyrant, right?" The clerk smiled scornfully, "In Northern Xinjiang, a beating would make you a village tyrant, and it would become a joke."
Yeah?
Ma was a little panicked.
() "Women and children get in the car!"
After registration was completed, a sergeant arranged for the women and children to ride in the car.
The Ma family got into a big car.
"Walk!"
The convoy moved slowly.
Looking at the village in the distance, Ma suddenly burst into tears, "Husband, I'm leaving. I took Erniang and Sanniang to Northern Xinjiang.
Jiang Erniang asked: "Auntie, are we coming back?"
"I'm not coming back." Ma shook his head and patted the big bundle beside him, "You Aye are in there. Wherever we go, he will follow!"
A tablet lies quietly inside the baggage.
Along the way, victims continued to join the team, and the convoy became larger and larger.
Convoys kept coming from the north, bringing food with them, and then they stopped leaving, taking the new victims with them.
What Jiang Erniang and Jiang Sanniang look forward to most is meal time.
Two meals a day, breakfast and dinner, are unbeatable.
At every meal, pancakes are provided, so just eat them. Most of the dishes are broth cooked with dried meat. Occasionally, the convoy from the north will bring some pig meat, and when it is cooked, Jiang Erniang can eat two bowls, even her nine-year-old sister
You can eat a big bowl of it.
After dinner, Jiang Sanniang likes to lie on her mother's lap, patting her bulging belly and acting coquettishly.
The victims were talking, saying that the food provided by Northern Xinjiang was too good. Could it be that they wanted us to do something?
The accompanying officials and sergeants just laughed when they heard this without any explanation.
This time, it made people even more uneasy.
When passing through Qianzhou, Jiang Erniang saw the cavalry watching the convoy from a distance, but did not dare to approach.
The accompanying cavalry would occasionally drive them away. Even if it was only a dozen cavalry, they could still make the opponent's hundreds of cavalry escape.
When entering the northern border, the treatment got better and better, and they even got mutton.
Even Ma was a little uneasy, saying that he had done nothing, how could he eat mutton?
She looked at her two daughters and gritted her teeth and said, "If that doesn't work, I will find someone to marry when we get to Northern Xinjiang. As long as he promises to treat you two sisters well, I will serve him wholeheartedly!"
Ma is quite pretty, and after her husband passed away, matchmakers came frequently, but there were some vague conditions. Jiang Erniang was not old at that time, and she vaguely heard something... Your two daughters are a nuisance, and today's women
Marrying depends on the dowry. The richer the dowry, the straighter the waist. But who is willing to pay a rich dowry for two women who are not related by blood? If you agree to simply marry them, the matter will be settled.
Ma replied: "I don't ask for any dowry from others. I will earn it myself for the two sisters. He and his family must treat them well."
But once they talked about treating Sister Jiang Erniang well, the differences between the two parties came out.
Ma finally said: "I know this request is too much, so... I will live this life by myself."
The matchmakers took pity on her and asked her what she would do when her two daughters got married.
Ma said: "Life and death are fates. If God allows me to be homeless in old age, then I will accept it and be willing to be homeless in old age."
From then on, Mr. Ma gave up the idea of remarrying and dragged the two sisters to live their lives.
Until now, when I changed my mind, it was still for the sake of the two sisters.
Along the way, things gradually changed.
Even if the weather is cold, caravans or pedestrians can still be seen on the official road from time to time.
After the caravan encounters the caravan, the merchant will contact the clerk leading the caravan. The clerk will buy some food but will not give him any money, but the merchant will smile.
"Give me a note!" One of the victims inquired about the news, "He said that if you buy some here, Tao County can save some losses on the road."
This is an extremely flexible yet extremely rigorous Northern Xinjiang, which left a deep impression on the victims.
They spent the New Year on the road. Although it was a bit desolate to be away from home, they had a good meal at least.
On that day, everyone ate mutton, drank large bowls of mutton soup, and made pancakes as they pleased.
At night, Jiang Erniang prayed devoutly, hoping that her future home would be a good place.
When it was more than sixty miles away from Taoxian County, the motorcade stopped and the clerks began to assign directions.
"From the Wang family, your whole family is going to Longhua Prefecture!"
"Zhao San, your family is going to Kunzhou!"
The Ma family of three is at the end, and there are more than ten other families together.
These ten or so families have one thing in common, that is, they have many women and children.
The clerk found the Ma family and said, "According to our rules in northern Xinjiang, ordinary families should settle in a new place. However, your family of three is composed of women and children. According to the instructions of the Duke, you can choose your own place."
"Can I still choose?" Ma was delighted, but then was stunned, "But... what do you do for a living when you arrive in a new place?"
"You can farm, do business, and work." The clerk said: "If you farm, the government will allocate fields, cattle, seeds, houses, farm tools, a year's rations and some money according to the head of the population. If you do business, the government will distribute
Give me some capital, not much, enough to set up a stall and buy some things for your family. You will still have food rations for your house. If you work hard, the government will make arrangements based on your ability."
"That's good?" Ma was dumbfounded.
The clerk smiled and said, "That's how good it is."
Ma did not respond on the spot, but discussed it as a family.
"Aniang, let's farm the land!" Jiang Sanniang said.
"Farming is so hard!" Jiang Erniang shook her head. She knew her mother's hard work. She wanted to help, but she didn't have enough strength.
"Working..." Ma thought for a while, "I only have two skills, farming and sewing. If I work, I can only do sewing."
"It's good to do needlework!" Jiang Sanniang shouted: "If you do needlework, you can stay at home."
When the clerk heard this, he felt sorry for the mother and daughter, so he said, "I have a suggestion, please listen to it."
Ma Shi Fu Shen said, "Thank you very much."
The clerk said: "I often go in and out to do errands, and my clothes get ruined quickly. Everything in the city is good, but there are few stalls for mending clothes. Since you are good at sewing, why don't you go and set up a stall to mend clothes? It doesn't cost much, and you can do it well.
Now, maybe I can make clothes and sell them."
As soon as Ma thought about it, she patted her thigh and said, "Okay!"
The clerk was happy, "Then get in the car and go back to Taoxian County!"
In front, a group of cavalry guarded Yang Xuan, watching this scene.
"I've met the Duke."
The clerk salutes.
The victims quickly saluted.
It's him!
Jiang Erniang felt her heart beating loudly. She always felt that the man that day was a hero, but she did not dare to determine his identity.
Now that she saw it, she couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Yang Xuan nodded and said to Han Ji: "Lin Jun's envoy is here, go and see him."
Watching them go away, Jiang Erniang felt disappointed.
An old man muttered, "Those people say that the Duke is a traitor, but why do I think that the people from Chang'an are the traitors?"
The clerk asked: "What if a traitor comes to attack the Duke?"
Jiang Erniang looked at the retreating figure and said, "I'll help him!"
"I'll help him!"
"I help him!"
"Help him!"
Ma said categorically: "Even if the enemy of the Duke is a god, I will help him!"
