Traveling through time and encountering war, I took the whole village to escape famine

Seeing Yun Duo and Cheng Yuheng coming back, Yun Hai and Yun He walked towards them. They were not familiar with the area outside Beining County, and Cheng Yuheng should be knowledgeable, so they wanted to come over and ask.

Although Yunhai had seen the map drawn by the drone, he still felt that he needed to ask the local residents to feel more at ease.

"Grandpa, second grandpa." Yun Duo greeted the two men while eating.

Cheng Yuheng ate very elegantly. He was taught since childhood not to talk while eating or sleeping, so he did not say hello, but just nodded at the two of them.

After finishing the rice in the bowl and drinking the wild vegetable soup, Cheng Yuheng put down his chopsticks, took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth, and then said: "Grandpa, second grandpa."

When Yun Hai heard Cheng Yuheng's name, he looked up at his granddaughter, and saw Yun Duo looking at him with a bright smile. Yun Hai understood, thinking that the young girl must have fallen in love. He knew that his granddaughter was not a fourteen-year-old girl at heart, but an adult of twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, so he chose to respect his granddaughter's decision and not interfere.

Yunhe was a little confused when he heard Cheng Yuheng calling him "Second Grandpa". He glanced at his eldest brother and was relieved when he saw that there was nothing unusual about him.

"Yuheng, we came here just to ask you if you know the general route. It's more than 4,000 miles from us to Qinghe Prefecture, and it will take almost three months to get there, and that's on the premise that we don't go the wrong way. If we don't know the route, and if we go astray, we don't know how much time it will take!" Yunhai said straight to the point.

"Bring the map for the autumn harvest."

Soon Qiushou handed a map of Dazhao to Cheng Yuheng and also brought back an oil lamp.

"Grandfather, Second Grandfather, you see, we have to travel more than 800 miles all the way south to get out of the Northeast Province and enter Yanqi Pass. It is best for us to enter Yanqi Pass before the Second Prince arrives there, so that we don't have to worry.

The commander of the Zhenbei Army is a traitor. He has basically given up resistance and is waiting for notification from the court to prepare for withdrawal.

There is no more material to buy there, and there are also soldiers from the north who are disguising themselves and entering the city to loot. The people living on the border are suffering terribly, and most of them have already started to move south."

Yunhe was a little confused. "We are only about 500 miles away from the border. Why don't we see any refugees? Have they not reached here yet?"

Cheng Yuheng thought for a moment and continued, "Most of the refugees took the official road. They went straight south from the city and would not take a detour to come here."

Yun Duo also looked at the map and said, "Yuheng, there are two roads past Yong'an Town. You said that we can reach the next county town in one day. Is this the official road? If we take this mountain road, we won't be able to reach Yanqi Pass in advance. I don't know if this mountain road can accommodate vehicles?"

"Duo'er, look here. It only takes one day to reach the next county town by taking this official road, but you need to first reach Zhongzhou Prefecture and then go to Dongzhou Prefecture. The whole way is an official road.

If you take this road, you can bypass the capital city of Zhongzhou Prefecture by going directly through Ningping Mountain, but this mountain road is more than 200 miles long and will take five or six days to walk.

After leaving the mountains and passing through two counties, you will reach Dongzhou Prefecture. After passing Dongzhou Prefecture, it will take another three days to reach Yanqi Pass.

If you pass through Ningping Mountain, you can reach Yanqi Pass two or three days earlier, and you can also avoid the entrance fee of Zhongzhou Prefecture.

The governor of Beizhou is a good official who works hard and loves the people. He has opened the city gates and waived the entrance fee, but the entrance fee to Zhongzhou has increased from five copper coins per person to 500. I don't know if it will increase again in a few days!

There are no towns or villages along the mountain road. Although horse-drawn carriages can travel on the mountain road, the speed will not be very fast. It is summer now, and there are many mosquitoes in the mountains. There may also be wild beasts or bandits. It is okay to take this road with many people, but it is still very dangerous if there are few people.

Yunhe was a little surprised: "Isn't that just half a tael of silver? Then our family will have to pay more than ten taels of silver to enter the city. This is just the beginning of our migration to the south. There are also Dongzhou Prefecture and Yanqi Pass behind us. If the city charges such a high entrance fee in the future, we are all poor people, how can we afford so much money? Isn't the court forcing us to death?"

Yun Hai also echoed, "Yes! At that time, those refugees who can't afford the entrance fee will be in dire straits. In order to survive, they are likely to rob other people's property, and even form a wave of refugees. In this chaos, there may be some bandits with ulterior motives who take advantage of the situation and take advantage of the situation to sneak in. In this way, the situation will become more complicated and dangerous, and the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Yun Hai's tone was calm and serious, with worry and uneasiness looming in his voice. "We in Yunjia Village are well prepared and have brought a lot of supplies. We may become the target of those refugees and bandits. It seems that taking the official road is not very safe."

Yun Duo thought for a moment and said, "I think we can take this mountain road. There are so many of us that wild animals won't dare to approach us easily. Even if they encounter so many of us, they won't be afraid. We may even be able to hunt some animals to improve our food supply.

As for those mosquitoes, snakes and ants, we can ask grandpa to prepare some insect repellents and distribute them to the people, so that mosquitoes, snakes and ants will not dare to come near.

As for the bandits, it would be good if we don't encounter them. If we do, we will destroy their lair, which can be regarded as eliminating harm to the people.

In order to avoid Zhongzhou's entrance fee, many people will pass through this road in the future. We should consider this as clearing obstacles for the people in advance. The people are suffering too much. We should help them if we can, and it will be considered as a good deed for us."
