Seeing that everyone's emotions were almost aroused, Yu Jiuer continued: "When you come here, I'm afraid the thing you care about most is your family! Some of you probably haven't seen your family for 10 to 20 years, right?"
These words touched the softest part of their hearts. Some of them couldn't help sobbing and crying. They all said at once:
"Ten or twenty years? I'm fifty-five this year and have worked at the Great Wall for thirty years. I can't even remember what my family members look like!"
"When I left, my wife was pregnant. I was a prisoner and she was a slave. Eighteen years have passed. I don't know if she and the child are still alive!"
"I have also been here for twenty years. The men in my family have been exiled until now, so I have long given up the thought of seeing them!"
......
Yu Jiuer listened to everyone's complaints silently, and then said something shocking:
"If I can bring them to Yinshan County to reunite with you, would you be willing to let them come?"
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The centurions were so frightened that they forgot to breathe. They stared at Yu Jiuer with their mouths open, wondering if there was something wrong with their ears and if they had heard it wrongly.
After a long while, someone finally came back to his senses and asked tremblingly, "Master, what does this mean?"
He spoke in a very soft voice, fearing that a louder voice would scare away the hope in his heart.
Yu Jiuer's expression was extremely sincere as she explained, "I want to bring your family to Yinshan County to reunite with you! I want to provide them with a house to live in, a means of livelihood, and a stable life! Are you willing for your family to come to Yinshan County?"
Everyone was still too stunned to react, no, it was unbelievable.
Yu Jiuer continued, "Today, Yinshan County has undergone tremendous changes. This change is the result of our joint efforts. You should know whether this place is suitable for living after these days.
I have opened two factories since I came back. At the moment, the factories are short of workers. If they come, they can work directly in the factories. I guarantee that the wages will definitely be higher than outside!"
At this point, the centurions had already believed it. They were so excited that their breathing became rapid and their mouths opened, at a loss.
Finally, Yu Jiuer said, "So, please think about it. If you want to reunite as a family, write home and discuss it as soon as possible.
Prince Jing has obtained the emperor's consent. As long as they are willing to settle in Yinshan, their household registration can be settled in Yinshan County, and official slaves can even be restored to good citizen status."
At this moment, some centurions could no longer control their tears and couldn't stop them from falling!
After a long while, everyone finally digested this great news. While they were happy, some people couldn't help but worry.
"The mountains in the northwest are high and the roads are long. The women who have never traveled far are obviously in danger on the road. It would be great if you could set up a station to pick them up!"
"This..." Yu Jiuer really hadn't thought about this question! Blame her, she had guards to protect her when she went out, and she had enough money on her, so she never had the concept of danger.
The centurion saw her with her head down in deep thought and mistakenly thought that the magistrate was in trouble.
Someone said, "We don't need to pick them up at home. We can just set up stations in major state capitals! We can write a letter and ask them to find the stations. This way, we will be able to reach Yinshan safely."
Someone said directly: "Don't make things difficult for the Lord. Our women have been demoted to official slaves, and their lives are extremely difficult! There is no need for any station. Even if they die on the road, they will definitely be willing to come!"
Another person said, "I never thought I would be able to see my wife and daughter in my lifetime. If this can be accomplished, I will have no regrets in my life! No need for a station. When I return, I will ask everyone to write letters home!"
Yu Jiuer hurriedly comforted him, "It's my fault for not thinking it through! Since you've raised the issue, I'll definitely find a way to solve it. We're indeed short-handed, but we can ask Prince Jing for help!"
She didn't know when she started to think of Prince Jing whenever she encountered a problem.
I was also paralyzed by myself: I already owed a lot anyway, so this one thing wouldn’t make any difference! I would just keep owing it, so I wouldn’t care that much!
The meeting lasted a long time and didn't end until nightfall.
Ever since the centurions entered the county government office in fear, the prisoners have been anxious and restless.
While they were doing their work, they also looked towards the county government office.
But until the end of the work, they still couldn't get their centurion back.
Originally they were going to go back to their residence at Changcheng after dinner, but now no one was willing to move, and everyone was squatting outside the county government office, looking eagerly.
They were all worried that they would not be able to come to the county town to work after they returned.
Some people pulled their hair and pondered, wondering what they had done wrong.
Someone was walking back and forth, and the more I thought about it, the more frightened I became!
The lives of prisoners exiled to the frontier are worthless. If they make a mistake, they might lose their lives!
Finally, the centurions came out with tears in their eyes, and the prisoners swarmed over them:
"What did we do wrong? Why are you all crying?"
“Can we still come to the county to work?”
"We didn't delay the construction of the Great Wall, and we completed the tasks assigned by the county magistrate on time. What happened?"
......
Not long after the centurions left, Yu Jiuer, who was still sorting out the meeting content in the county government office, heard cheers outside.
Yu Jiuer curled her lips and smiled: This is the laughter that her county should have!
She called Shadow over: "Go and give the prince a message. See you at the old place tonight!"
At night, the crescent moon hangs high in the sky, and the white moonlight spreads over this brand new earth.
A breeze blew, and the "old place" of her and Jun Mo had been developed into a park lawn.
At this moment, the place where they sat down to drink was a large, slightly sloping lawn surrounded by beautiful flowers.
The view in front of you is open, and when you look up you will see the vast and boundless sky!
Sitting on the lawn feels like being embraced by the entire starry sky, making people forget all their worries in an instant.
Yu Jiuer took out the wine and food that she had prepared in advance and placed them on the flat mat.
This was cooked by her herself for Jun Mo.
He is a prince, and he could have been a leisurely boss, and when Prime Minister Rong in the capital had almost planned everything for him, he could just clapped his hands and return to the capital, without having to worry about these annoying trivial matters!
But in order to help her, he risked being blamed by the emperor and personally dealt with his political enemies, just to get a small power to relocate household registration. It was really a waste.
Just because he didn't say it doesn't mean she doesn't understand!
She also understood the treacherous situation in the court, every step was thrilling, every move was bloody! She was really moved that he could do this for her!
So she has to treat us to this meal!
After sitting for a long while, Jun Mo hurried over.
"Sorry! I was delayed!"
Yu Jiuer jokingly asked, "Did Concubine Duan nag you?"
Jun Mo sighed inaudibly, "My mother insisted that I marry Dou Ruhua. I was nagged all night long!"
"Does she know that you brought Dou Ruhua and Princess Qingyang to Yinshan County to farm?" Yu Jiuer felt a little gloating. It turned out that the cold and aloof Prince Jing also had unbreakable family ties!
"I don't know who leaked the news! Mother asked me to send these two people back to Liangzhou tomorrow! But I don't agree! I'll tell you after you've tortured them enough!"
These words made Yu Jiuer's heart skip a beat. She found that his influence on her seemed to be getting bigger and bigger.
This is not a good phenomenon!
