N-A-A Chapter 277
Chapter 277
The Xiliang people had confessed before that it was a left-hander wearing a hat who led them in the canal, and she used to mistake it for the person of the king of Yama, but now it seems that the three of them are more suspicious.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered a few words to Ying Yi quietly.
Keichi nodded solemnly, tied the three of them together individually, and quietly left behind.
After the silver was retrieved by Ma Ming, the people of Xianlong Town were both looking forward to it and apprehensive.
After all, their previous attitude towards Murong Qin was not only not good, but it could even be said to be a bit bad, if Murong Qin cared about them, let alone this bit of silver, even their little lives would be gone.
But seeing that the money he had been cheated of was right in front of him, and saying that he didn't want to come back was fake, everyone's thoughts were clearly written on their faces, so that it was difficult for Murong Qin to see it.
However, the last thing she lacked was gold and silver, how could she have put this bit of broken silver in her eyes? Casually glancing at the account book handed over by Ma Ming, Murong Qin directly instructed him,
"Return everyone's silver according to this bill." "
As for the rest of the silver and the silver tickets...
It is taken from the people and used for the people, and it is naturally to be used on the river of Xianlong Town.
Fortunately, the mayor of the town has not yet had time to use the fees collected by the people, so the broken silver and everything are packed separately in a small bag, and they only need to be returned one by one.
Just when everyone was both happy and excited, Ma Ming took the account book and called out the names one by one to receive
the silver, "Li Fugui, Zhao Daniu..."
Everyone consciously lined up, happily receiving their share of the silver, and their hearts were instantly grateful to Murong Qin.
After the silver was distributed one by one, the young man before gave her a heavy salute and said solemnly
, "Thank you Your Highness for making decisions for the people of Xianlong Town, before we were deceived and almost made a big mistake, and the grass people are very ashamed, so I can only compensate Your Highness for the people of Xianlong Town here."
"Those who don't know are not guilty, and you are also victims.
Murong Qin stretched out his hand to help him up, glanced at him, and said, "Listening to you, you look like a person who has read a book?"
The young man hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Back to His Highness, the grass people have indeed studied for two years, but they haven't read it since they fell into Xianlong Town.
"I see
," Murong Qin knew in his heart, after the exile, everyone lived for a living, and food and clothing on weekdays were all problems, how could there be extra money and energy to send their children to study?
The young man looked at the people of Xianlong Town who refused to leave easily, and sighed
, "Your Highness, in fact, the people of Xianlong Town are also very bitter, seeing that the rainy season is coming, everyone just doesn't want to suffer from the flood anymore, so they will easily believe the mayor and Wu Zhu." If he could, the grass people were willing to saddle the horse for His Highness to atone for their previous sins.
"It doesn't have to be, the temple understands.
When it came to the flood, after thinking about it, Murong Qin simply spread out his intentions and said
, "Don't hide it from you, this palace came to Xianlong Town today to solve the problem of the canal. Everyone
was shocked at first, and then couldn't help but rejoice.
However, they are located in a remote area and are some lowly displaced people, so no matter how big the floods have occurred in these years, the imperial court has never sent anyone to manage this side of the river.
The people of Xianlong Town live in fear every rainy season, and even in their dreams, they have to be on guard against the canal bursting embankment, which can be described as terrifying.
The old man behind the young man said excitedly
, "What Your Highness said is true, if there is anything that needs to be done by the grass people, please directly order it, the people of our Xianlong Town are duty-bound!"
Murong Qin smiled, "Old man, you will indeed need to be used in the future, but now we have to go to the bank of the canal to explore before we can decide." "
Yes! Yes! Yes, the old man is confused," the old man said
again and again, and pushed the young man over, "Your Highness, this is the grandson of the grass people, he has good legs and feet, and he is good at water, and he is most familiar with this piece of water, so let him follow you, if you have any orders, just call him..."
Murong Qin politely refused, "No need, old man, these soldiers of the garrison also understand, and there are enough people." The
old man arched his hand and said, "Your Highness's words are wrong! They have been here for a short time, how can they know so much? Your Highness still brings Changsheng with you, and is prepared." The
young man, that is, Changsheng also said respectfully, "Your Highness, what Grandpa Caomin said is right, you can bring Caomin, maybe Caomin can help
!" Murong Qin wanted to excuse himself, but he felt that what the old man said also made some sense, and there were indeed few people in their group who were well versed in water, so he nodded and said
, "In this way, then it will be troublesome!"
After the old man smiled and carefully explained to Changsheng, he and the people sent Murong Qin and his party on the horse.
The canal was only a mile away from Xianlong Town, and Murong Qin was talking to Changsheng as he walked.
From Changsheng's mouth, Murong Qin also learned about their family's situation.
Because of the flood the year before last, Changsheng's father was accidentally washed away by the water, leaving them and the old man just now, Changshengniang was heartbroken, and since then she has fallen into heartache, but fortunately, her embroidery work was good before being exiled, so she will do some embroidery work on weekdays and sell it in the county, and then change some daily necessities to live.
And Changsheng followed his grandfather to fish in the river when he had nothing to do, although there were a lot of fish in the canal, and the two of them could often return with a full load, but they were still poor.
For this reason, Murong Qin knew from his memory that because the smell of fish was too strong, the people of Daling Kingdom would not deal with it, so the fish made could not be eaten, and there would be no fish on the tables of rich and noble people, so unless it was a last resort, some poor people who had not eaten would catch one or two to deal with it and fill their stomachs.
Just like the ones she caught on the way to exile, except for her, she would go to the river to catch fish to eat, and everyone else wouldn't catch them even if they knew that there were fish, because they were too unpalatable.
Therefore, the price of fish has always been as low as mud, especially in Yongzhou, I heard Changsheng say that a big fish of five or six catties was sold for three cents when it was sold in Yongchuan County, which can be said to be inferior to wild vegetables.
Murong Qin sighed helplessly.
If you want to say that Xianlong Town is not poor, the people live a tight life, if you say that they are poor, but they guard the biggest cash cow and have nowhere to spend.
