Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Receiving grain is simpler than Lin Yuan thought. The maiden's surname is Zhao, and her man's surname is Zhang. Some people around call her Aunt Zhao, and some call her the old Zhang family. She should accept it. She calls her man from the ground. When he came back, he urged: "Don't be mad, even if the price is lower, it's better than piled up all the time."

Her man was impatient: "I see."

Aunt Zhao: "Remember!"

The price is easy to talk about, and both sides are cheap. Jiang Gui packaged the Chen Liang from Aunt Zhao’s family and bought some Chen Liang from several other stores, which was filled with ten carts.

Cows can't afford it, so they either hire people and pull the carts back, or buy people.

"How much money is there?" Jiang Gui handed Lin Yuan a bowl of water. Lin Yuan felt his throat dry. He calculated it in his heart and whispered, "There are fifty taels left."

They took almost all the money with them.

Jiang Gui: "Buy someone."

Lin Yuan nodded. They have to go to another town to buy people. No one in this town can buy the food. The food is stored here and no one will steal it. They don’t want Chen Liang. Aunt Zhao promised that they would buy it. Good food.

Fifty taels don’t seem to be many. Nowadays, the men who sell their bodies are two taels of silver, women and children are one taels. This is still a good year. Now it is estimated that there are only one taels for mature men, women and children. You don't have to get half of them.

Lin Yuan is also not prepared to adhere to modern moral values. In modern times, population trading is of course a heinous crime, but at this time, people trading are poor people who cannot survive and want to sell a good master and live.

If the purpose is different from the era, it cannot be viewed with the same moral concept.

Driving the ox cart on the small road, Lin Yuan rushed to Jiang Gui and said, "Brother Jiang, what do you think will happen to this world? It is getting worse, or is it getting better?"

Jiang Gui looked at the front, his expression was a little complicated, and finally he sighed leisurely: "It's getting worse and worse. I am in the Yamen, knowing that the current emperor doesn't care about things, and his head is full of smoke. Before the accident, all the prisoners Common people."

"There is human plague in the north, and the northerners will go south, and the human plague will also go south.

Lin Yuan knew that human plague was an infectious disease, and it was regarded as a key reason for the demise of the Yuan Dynasty. Some modern scholars believed that the human plague of the Yuan Dynasty was the black death of the West, but it has not been proved, it is just a guess.

In this era, human plague cannot be cured. People who are infected can only linger, lying down and waiting to die, letting themselves be surrounded by despair day by day.

It's just that Lin Yuan didn't expect the plague to come so quickly, it caught him off guard.

He thought it should have appeared in the last few years of the Yuan Dynasty's demise, but the reality and his expectations are very different.

"Four brother." Jiang Gui suddenly spoke. He touched his chin and seemed a little embarrassed. "When the accident happened in Wucheng, your sister-in-law and I were afraid that you would not take us in."

Just as Lin Yuan was about to speak, Jiang Gui said again: "If you don't want to take us in, I don't blame you, it's all fate."

In that case, if you change to yourself, you may not be able to agree.

Jiang Gui said, "Fourth brother, you gave your brother this life. If you have something to do, tell me, brother, you can give it away."

Lin Yuan smiled: "Brother, we have to live a good life, think about the benefits."

"It's a good day to have enough food and clothing." Jiang Gui smiled.

Lin Yuan found that since the accident in Wucheng, Jiang Gui has become more taciturn and more stable. His pressure is not small, and his family of six is ​​on his head alone, so he trembles and dare not steal. A little lazy.

I was probably afraid that once he fell, their family would not be able to stay.

Righteous brothers sound good, but how reliable are they?

When he arrived in Baishan Town, Lin Yuan felt that his energy had been exhausted. After walking on the road for three days, he almost passed out excitedly when he saw the stone monument at the town’s mouth. No wonder there are no outsiders in Liuzhen. It is too much to enter and exit from this road. It's hard, the road is not bad, but also shaking, they are all walking on the ground on the road, leading the cow.

Compared with Liuzhen, Baiyun Town is much more pitiful. There are unclothed beggars on the roadside, as well as poor people who sell themselves. There are no vendors on the street. Tea stalls and restaurants are closed. The sight is only a three-day journey, but one side is heaven and the other is hell.

Fortunately, the inn was still open. Lin Yuan and the others went to open a room. Few people lived in the inn, and the asking price of the inn was low.

Xiao Er was a young man with a yellow face and thin skin. He graciously followed Lin Yuan and them, expecting the guests to give him a little reward.

Lin Yuan knew that soon, the money would not have much purchasing power, and the most important thing was food.

When the horn of rebellion is sounded, food will be even more important.

Therefore, when Lin Yuan bought people, he was still planning to buy strong labor. When he was okay, he planted the land, and when something happened, he had to fight the bandits.

Every street is full of people who sell themselves. Some have encountered gangsters, and the whole family is dead, leaving them alone.

Some people take the whole family to the street, hoping to meet a kind person and buy all the family away.

Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui walked a few laps to decide who they would buy. Young men and women should preferably have families, and the best ones should have children waiting to be fed or frail elderly.

These people are the least likely to betray, because their family members are always weak. They will not only think about their own lives, but also let their families live.

But Lin Yuan also said that if he wants to bring his family, he will not pay too much, he will only pay them alone, but he can guarantee that their family will have food.

This group of people are willing.

There is no need to be displaced. There is food to eat. As for whether there is money to sell, it is not that important.

These people are going to follow Lin Yuan and them in the early morning of the next day. They have no luggage, so they can leave without packing.

They bought a total of forty people, with 80 people...

Two people when they came, and a mighty group when they left.

Almost everyone walked this way on foot, including Lin Yuan and Jiang Gui-there was no way, and there was no way to go on such a steep road in an ox cart, that basically didn't want to survive.

These people were in awe of Lin Yuan and didn't dare to speak. They just walked forward with their heads buried in the ox cart. There were grains in the ox cart, and there was no water, but there were streams in the forest, and no one burned them when they were on their way. Even Lin Yuan drinks water directly by the stream.

The possibility of living water containing parasites and disease-causing bacteria is relatively small, so Lin Yuan can only comfort himself so that he can drink water.

For the grain of ten carts, a cart requires four mature men to pull it.

Fortunately, there is still a cow, which is enough to force people.

It's time to go back, Lin Yuan is back home.
