The end of natural disasters: the daily life of child brides in ancient times

What's more, at a time like this, severe punishments should be used in troubled times. This is not just talk.

Nowadays, although the public security in the county has improved slightly, there are still people taking advantage of the chaos to cause trouble.

At times like this, repeat robbers will be given extra heavy sentences.

County Magistrate Qiao didn't bother any more and planned to pack up the people and send them to the most difficult mine to mine.

Ever since King Huai started mining that mine, there has been basically no more death penalty in the entire fiefdom.

All criminals sentenced to death will be packed up and sent to the mines for lifelong labor reform.

In this way, human resources are fully utilized.

It is said that the mine has a high loss rate.

In other words, the mine can only continue to operate if there is a constant supply of death row prisoners.

After County Magistrate Qiao gave a general explanation of the situation, he asked Lu Tianli and others to come and sign, and the matter was basically settled.

After the group left the county government office, Lu Qingqing said goodbye to them and planned to go to the Sun family by herself.

Seeing this, the old village chief and Lu Tianli called her over and went to the Sun family with her.

As for the rest of the villagers, they simply bought some daily necessities and went home.

Sun's house.

When Li Fusheng received a notice from his servant that someone was looking for him, he thought there was news about his son.

He ran out excitedly, but when he saw that Lu Qingqing and the other two looked unhappy, he realized that something was not going well.

After listening to Lu Qingqing's account of what happened, his face turned pale and he staggered and almost fell down.

He really didn't expect that his son would do such a thing.

For a moment, he fell into deep self-doubt and remained silent for a long time.

Seeing him like this, Lu Tianli stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder as a silent comfort.

There's no way. There's really no way to comfort someone about this kind of thing.

Li Fusheng took a long time to calm down before he asked them to wait for him in a hoarse voice.

He asked for leave from the head of the Sun family and went back to collect the bodies of his wife and children.

The three of them looked at Li Fusheng's back, which suddenly became a little hunched, and felt that he had aged more than ten years.

While they were waiting at the door, they happened to meet Sun Xingjian, the eldest son of the Sun family, returning.

When he saw Lu Qingqing and the other two, he hurriedly got out of the car to greet them, and then welcomed them into the house.

Sun Xingjian had just returned from the Yining Chamber of Commerce and was quite excited.

According to King Huai's previous notice, the ship will officially set off in about ten days.

And this time, he wants to follow the boat.

This was the first time in his life that he went abroad, and the fact that he was traveling on a large ship from Prince Huai's Palace was really attractive.

Sun Xingjian is usually quite steady, but he is young after all, and he is also familiar with Lu Qingqing and the others.

At this moment, they started chatting excitedly.

After chatting for a while, I finally remembered the matter of silk.

He was even happier when he learned that Lu Qingqing had already prepared the quantity he needed.

Just make an agreement with Lu Qingqing and deliver it to him when you are free within five days.

After chatting for a while, they prepared to go back with Li Fusheng.

Although the famine problem has been solved, the situation in the city is still somewhat chaotic.

There are slightly fewer refugees from outside the city now, but there are more refugees in the city than last time.

Beggars can be seen everywhere on the streets, and the city is overcrowded with people looking for odd jobs.

After Lu Qingqing and her companions were stopped by beggars twice, they chose a less crowded street and went straight out of the city.

It was already afternoon when they rushed back to Baoshan Town.

At this time, the villagers had already dug a pit and buried the bodies of the refugees.

The families whose loved ones died in the village planned to keep the body for three days before burying it in the cemetery.

When the villagers saw Li Fusheng coming back, they looked at him with hatred.

But because Lu Tianli was standing next to him, he didn't hit anyone directly.

After all, Li Fusheng had worked in the Sun family for so many years. Seeing the reactions of the villagers, he knew that he would no longer have a place to stand in Baoshan Town.

He followed Lu Tianli and others to the ancestral hall. When he saw the bodies of his wife and children, he could no longer hold back and knelt beside them, crying bitterly.

After a long while, he suppressed his grief and moved the bodies of his wife and children onto the carriage.

Before leaving, he rented out his family's land and Hu Laosan's land to a family with many male members in the village.

From then on, the family would send him food once every season.

As for the house, he gave the key to Lu Qingqing and asked her to help take care of it.

The old village chief and Lu Qingqing and others followed nearby. Seeing what Li Fusheng did, they knew that he might never come back.

In the following days, the villagers held a collective funeral.

After all the dead villagers were buried, the village was filled with a sad atmosphere for a long time.

But life must go on.

After the funeral, Lu Tianli, the old village chief and others took out the things they had confiscated from the bandit’s lair last time.

The principle of division is to first divide the families whose members have died, then the families whose members are seriously injured, and finally those who fought particularly bravely.

Before the division, the old village chief and Lu Tianli specially called Lu Qingqing over.

From a pile of gold, silver and jewelry, he picked out a few valuable and particularly heavy gold products and gave them to Lu Qingqing.

And told her not to tell anyone about this.

The old village chief had a scale in his heart. He believed that Lu Qingqing took a big risk, so she should get more.

This kind of thing happened several times while fleeing famine.

Lu Qingqing didn't refuse anymore and accepted it directly.

Afterwards, Lu Tianli began to distribute these items according to performance in battle.

First came the precious gold and silver jewelry, then the valuable liquor, and finally the miscellaneous daily necessities.

When distributing these items, the bonus given by County Magistrate Qiao was also distributed.

The bonuses were not much, so Lu Tianli decided to distribute them to the women whose husbands had died.

All in all, each family can get five taels of silver.

When everything was distributed, each family felt somewhat comforted when looking at what they had received.

Soon after the things were distributed, it was time to pay the grain tax.

Every family began to hurry to peel the corn husks and dry the corn.

Fortunately, moisture evaporates quickly in this weather, so if we work harder, we won't delay paying taxes.

Just as each family's grain was drying in the sun, Baoshan Town welcomed new refugees.

This time, Xu Wenshan led the team again.

I haven't seen him for a long time. Xu Wenshan has become thinner and darker.

When he saw Lu Tianli, Lu Qingqing and others, his face was full of wrinkles when he smiled.

Seeing that there were about forty or fifty refugees coming this time, Lu Tianli and others looked at these refugees silently.

Seeing this, Xu Wenshan called a few people aside and explained their general situation.

According to Xu Wenshan, with the relationship between them, it is natural that there will not be a lot of messy refugees coming here.

Although there were only forty or fifty refugees in this group, they were divided into three teams.

There were two teams, both from counties and cities near King Huai's fiefdom.

The other team escaped from the north.
