Space Food Storage: Daily Travel

Six days later, at dusk.

Finally, they finally arrived in Fu'an City! It took more than four months, a full 130 days!

They experienced barbarian attacks on the city, crossed deep mountains, experienced earthquakes, hid in the mountains, experienced epidemics, floods, and were robbed by bandits...

The moment they saw the gate of Fu'an City, many people shed tears.

Except for the two dead old men and the missing Li Datou, they all survived intact...

Liu Mang wanted to burst into tears. He felt that his life had been so difficult, and every day felt like a year. Fortunately, he had the old man and his family.

Thank you to the ancestors of the Liu family. Once I find a good place, I will definitely pay them a good visit.

........................

Village chief Liu and village chief Li, along with Liu Laizi, Yang Nianhua and others, divided into three groups to gather information.

Liu Yuhan looked at the letter of recommendation from Wen Tianming, the prefect of Yiyang City, in the space, but ultimately chose not to send it out.

Although these people are all ordinary people, they have strong vitality and should live their own lives.

Some favors are best saved for when they are most needed.

The villagers decided to camp outside the city for one night and then go into the city tomorrow to seek arrangements with the government officials.

There was a notice at the city gate stating that if there were victims fleeing famine in the north, they could report to the government office through their household registration or letters of recommendation from local counties.

The government office would arrange for the disaster victims based on the situation in each county and town. They would re-register the victims, arrange for accommodation, and distribute land and grain.

Taxes were reduced or exempted for three years. Those in urgent need of grain could borrow it in the village's name, with a limit, of course, and repayment within three years. They could also use silver to offset grain, with the silver being the same as the grain price of that year, with no interest charged.

When Liu Yuhan heard the policies they mentioned, he felt that they were quite reasonable.

It seems that Fu'an City is indeed as Wen Tianming said, with a vast area and sparse population, and is in urgent need of people.

The two village chiefs and the elders have already agreed to merge their two villages into one to see if the government office can arrange for them to live together.

Everyone ate and went to bed early.

Chenshi: The time for government officials to go to the yamen.

Liu Yuhan, dressed in men's clothes, walked towards the government office with his parents and two village chiefs.

Fu'an City is quite big. As the day goes by, all kinds of goods are neatly arranged in two rows on the street. The voices of small vendors can be heard, selling vegetables, fish, seafood, meat, candied haws, and small hairbands.

There were also people selling calligraphy and paintings on the street, and men who looked like scholars doing ghostwriting for others. There were all kinds of shops lining the main streets, and some of the food shops had waiters at the door soliciting customers.

At the entrance of the clothing store, there were even pretty girls explaining fabrics and styles to the ladies. When passing by restaurants and teahouses, you could hear storytellers recounting the strange people and stories of the Nanlin Kingdom.

Jiangnan girls are not very tall, but they have well-proportioned bodies and delicate features. They exude elegance and composure in their every move. They speak softly and are gentle and refined, like beautiful girls from a small family.

Liu Laizi was stunned! Village Chief Liu gave him a hard kick.

It’s not Liu Laizi’s fault. There are huge differences between the north and the south, and it’s not just reflected in diet and climate.

There are some differences between people in the north and the south, not only in height and appearance, but also in words, deeds and personalities.

Northerners are generally bold and generous, while Southerners are more refined and delicate. Each has its own strengths.

Liu Yuhan grew up in the south, so seeing these things felt quite familiar. She even felt as if she had come to a small town in the south of the Yangtze River and was traveling.

I greeted the yamen runners and was called into a lobby to wait while someone went to inform the adults.

Soon, two gentlemen came hurriedly. The yamen runner introduced them as two bailiffs from their government office, who were responsible for recording the case.

Since the prefect was away, they could take charge of distributing the disaster victims. Village Chief Liu and the others knelt down and bowed. Liu Yuhan followed Liu Shi in performing the female rituals, having forgotten she was wearing men's clothing.

The two bailiffs were surnamed Song and Chen. They were both quite easygoing, except for being a little surprised at why he brought a woman with him and why the person next to him was so polite.

Specifically asked them if they had any letters of recommendation, why, where they came from, and how many people there were?

He asked them to take out their household registration books and showed them what they wanted. When asked what they wanted, Village Chief Liu quickly told them the most important one.

I hope the two villages can stay together. They escaped the famine together, and the two villages are intertwined and have a common interest. If they are separated, they will supervise each other and not cause trouble for each other.

The two bailiffs picked up the map, opened the record, and discussed it privately.

"There are more than 400 of you. If you want to be assigned to one place, you can only be sent to Changle County, Fulai Village. This place is a hundred miles east of the sea, north of the Anshan Mountains, and there are fertile fields to the south, but most of them are sand fields."

Liu Yuhan nodded to the village chief and his parents.

"Sir, we are willing to go. How far is Changle County from here?"

"It's also about a hundred miles, and twenty miles from Changle County to Fulai Village. If you're willing, after we write the paperwork, you can rush to Changle County today and see County Magistrate Zhu."

"Alas, Master Zhu, you will know once you see it."

The two bailiffs wrote them documents and letters of recommendation, issued them orders to enter the city, and told them which direction to go.

"Thank you very much, my lords, for your trouble. This is an invitation to tea. Please accept it."

Village chief Liu took out a five-liang silver ingot and gave it to one of the bailiffs, who accepted it with a smile.

He gave them a few more instructions, telling them that if they could not borrow food from the county town, they could come to the government office to find them.

Village chief Liu felt a little painful after spending five taels of silver, so he was reluctant to buy anything.

Liu Yuhan found his painful expression a little funny, so he asked his parents to buy 100 eggs, half a pork, and 50 kilograms of cabbage, and asked him to give them to the villagers so that everyone could have some tonic tonight.

I haven't eaten meat for a long time, and I'm celebrating that they have found a new place.

The village chief gave them money but they refused to take it, so he had no choice but to accept it.

The group returned to the city gate, asked everyone to pack up their things, and took the entry order given by the bailiff. They bypassed the main street, passed through the city and headed for Changle County.

Huo Mansion.

"My dear nephew, why did you drag me here again? Is there anything that can't be said in front of your grandfather?" Huo Jinhai said helplessly.

"I have to leave quickly. The rainstorm has just passed and the cold wave is coming. It's a mess now."

"Uncle Huo, has the government recently provided accommodation for the disaster victims from the north?"

Huo Dong is very familiar with his uncle who has five blessings. He won't move unless you urge him.

"No, no, Mr. Huo knows what you asked. Isn't it the group of disaster victims you met in Yiyang City? I remember it all. Didn't Wen Tianming give me a letter of recommendation? I've asked someone to keep an eye on it. Don't worry..."

"Once they arrive, we'll assign them to the best places near the capital. Now you can rest assured, right..."

Huo Dong...why is he so worried...

.....................

By the time the prefect Huo Jinhai returned to the government office, Liu Yuhan and his group had already left.

The two bailiffs told him that they had settled about 400 people at Lord Zhu's place. They were expecting praise from the Lord, but they didn't expect to be met with a storm from the prefect...

This... Did they misunderstand the Master's intention? Master Zhu, that stubborn bastard, didn't the Master want to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson...
