Chapter 878
The afternoon was peaceful, and in the evening, Zhaolin received news from Maternity and Infant Hall and Jiaji Boat Company that the wives and their entourage had all boarded the boat safely and would arrive at the expected time.

Qi Ke didn't practice that night, and when she received the news that the boat had entered the waters of Siliu Village, she immediately took the maids to the pier next to the warehouse, lit up a dozen bright lanterns along the pier and waited.

Soon, a large passenger and cargo ship appeared in view, and the guests on board also noticed the brightly lit pier and the people standing on the pier.

"Dear sisters, welcome to Six Willow Village."

After the ship berthed, looking at the ladies who came to the deck, Qi Ke stood below and waved with a smile.

"It's dark and the road is slippery, sisters, please step carefully."

For the convenience of loading and unloading goods, the springboard that Qi can use is much wider, big and heavy, and it is very stable to walk on. Her maids stretched out their hands under the springboard to pick up the wife and their entourage one by one safely. to the ground.

"The inn is not far from the pier. My sisters have been on the boat for so long that their waists and legs are numb. Why don't you take two steps to move your legs?"

"Okay, okay, it's only two steps. I walked more than two steps this afternoon."

"Yeah, Donglin County is pretty good."

"I see that there are quite a few refugees, at least less than where I live."

"Donglin County is the easternmost county, and it will come to an end here. It is said that the number of refugees who fled here is the least. It can be seen that the response measures of our county lords are different from those of other counties. How dare other counties open up the city so much? Door."

Qi Ke walked ahead to lead the way, and Zhaolin held a big lantern to shine on his feet, and the maids picked up the lanterns on the pier, followed the flow of people and lined up in double rows, illuminating the path under everyone's feet.

"It's true, the Fucheng is more strictly guarded. If the local residents want to go out of the city to do business, they have to bring their identity documents. Otherwise, it is easy to go out of the city, but it is difficult to come back. First, they will be locked in the yamen and wait for their family members to pick them up, and they will be fined. son."

"Tsk tsk tsk, isn't it more troublesome for outsiders to go to Dong'an Mansion?"

"That's right. Identity documents and official guides are necessary. I don't know if there are other documents. We military children just follow the rules of the general and try not to conflict with the local authorities."

"It's a bit dangerous for Donglin County to open the city gates like this. Think about it, it's getting cold. Donglin County has good news for the autumn harvest this year. The refugees will think that there is plenty of food here. Beware of the influx of refugees."

"Ah?!" Qi Ke, who was just listening quietly, paused and turned around in surprise, "What else is there?!"

"Yeah, you don't know? The two big harvests in Donglin County have already caused discussions outside, and many people are staring at this place." The wife who made this guess took two steps and came to Qi Ke's side Walk with her.

"That's right, that's true. Otherwise, would those planting manuals for rooting pigs sell so well? How many copies have you printed? Do you know how many copies you have printed?" They have a great say, and they don't worry less about the food for the soldiers.

"That's right, there are a lot of prints." Qi Ke nodded.

"Then do you think this number is more or less than military households?"

"One copy for each family, I think there should be no big difference, even if there are many, there may not be a few more copies."

"Even if there are not a few more books, there are still many. Do you know where the extra books will go?"

"do not know."
