Chapter 123 The Uncle's Whereabouts (please subscribe for monthly pass)

Fang Yunping felt more at ease when he thought about it this way, after all, it is not so easy to integrate into a place when he is new here.

There are so many people that they will not merge with other villages, and they will definitely establish another village, but if they go to the county government to register, they will be given a place with barren land.That is also hard to tell.

In this way, they first went to Nanyue City together.

Everyone was waiting in the open space outside the city. Fang Yunping and Fang Youwei led a few people into the city.

Since I came to Nanyue County City, of course I wanted to buy some things.

Food was second, because after they went down the mountain and arrived in Nanyue County, as long as they had money in their hands, they basically didn't have to worry about food anymore, and they could buy it in counties and towns.

They went to the city to buy new year's goods for the new year.

Waiting to find a place to settle down is not a short-term matter.But the year always has to pass.

Even if they live in a tent, as long as everyone is together, it can be regarded as a reunion, and if they eat something good at that time, it will be considered a good year.

Fang Yunping and the others have another purpose, which is to go to the bank to exchange money.

There must be more and more places to use silver in the future, and I dare not change too much in the county, for fear of attracting the attention of bad people.

This county is very big, and there are not only one or two banks, so you can exchange more money.

They were divided into groups of two, and went to the bank to exchange silver. Each group exchanged 200 taels, a total of 1000 taels.

Except for buying things, most of the money is going to be used to pay land tax. Although the homestead will be allocated at that time, good land will still have to pay land tax, unless you open up wasteland yourself.

If you open up wasteland, you will not pay taxes for the first three years, and you will also have to pay taxes after three years.

The county has a complete range of things, and the price is not much more expensive.

Several people bought some cotton and cloth to make quilts and new clothes.

Then they bought six more oxen, because they had already sold the five horses to Shaoyang, and there were not enough carts.Of course, I also told him the origin of the horse.

Shaoyang was very happy. This is a war horse outside the Great Wall. It has a strong body and strong endurance, and it is very obedient in training. It is not easy to be surprised when things happen.

Before, he felt that the Fang family's horses were better than his team's horses. No one was driving them and they knew how to walk behind the donkey cart, and they walked very smoothly.Only now did I realize that it was a war horse captured by others.

It is risky to sell this horse to others, but it is no problem to sell it to Shaoyang. He can directly hand it over to his father to expand his armaments. If it is not possible, it can be used for breeding.

In this way, Shaoyang didn't let the Fang family suffer, and gave them 200 taels of silver!
A few people bought cattle and bought a few shelf cars. After a long journey and repairs all the way, those shelf cars are no longer in shape.

It is estimated that when they settle down, they can only be used as firewood.

Also bought some farm tools and stuff.They didn't have many of these things in the first place, and with the addition of shoveling ice and chiseling rocks on the road, they had already collapsed and were unusable.

When they finished shopping and were about to leave the city, they happened to be found by Butler Shao.

Steward Shao handed Fang Yunping a letter, "This is a letter written by our county magistrate. If you take this letter, which county you want to settle down in, just hand it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate will know how to do it." .”

As for why the sheriff wrote a personal letter?How could the Fang family have such a big face?

In fact, this is not a big deal, one is to repay the favor of the son, and the other is not to let them become officials, but to find a place for everyone in the Fang family to stay, so as not to embarrass others.

Just write clearly in the letter, as long as the county magistrate is not a fool, he will know what to do.

Not to mention getting in touch with the sheriff, at least he didn't dare to offend anyone who knew the sheriff.

Fang Yunping and the others bowed deeply to Butler Shao to express their gratitude, and asked him to take him to thank Shao Ergongzi.

Steward Shao returned a salute and said goodbye to them. He still had a lot of things to do when he just returned home.

By the time they left the city, it was already late, and it was Shen time.

Everyone also knew that there was no way to find a county seat to settle down today, so they had to find a place to rest first.

Fang Youwei inquired at the tea shed at the gate of the city before leaving.I asked the owner of the tea shed if any refugees from Qiyang County had come here?
The owner of the tea shed recalled it carefully, and then told them that a group of refugees did come a few months ago, but they all dispersed soon after knowing that they could not go any further.It should be scattered in the counties and towns below Nanyue County.

As for which county and town he went to, the owner of the tea shed didn't know. After all, there were so many people, and it had been such a long time.

He could remember it because it was the first time in so many years that so many refugees came.

There are also frequent floods in the south of them, but most of them go to the mountains to hide, and when the water subsides, they will return to the original place to continue their life. It is rare for them to escape so far like this.

For this reason, he also asked why he didn't settle down in the previous city or a nearby county.

Those people said that they were afraid that the Yue people would continue to invade the south, so they had just stabilized and would migrate again.That's why the boss is so impressed.

Fang Youwei was a little worried when he heard this, and he didn't know which county or town his uncle and the others went to settle down.

As for why uncle and the others won't go to the village to settle down, it's because unlike the Fang family, the whole village migrates, and if they settle, they must find a place to rebuild the village.

Uncle and the others originally came out of the town, no matter how they supported them all the way, it was at most the relationship between fellow villagers, and it was impossible to form a village.

And they are used to doing business, so they should all choose towns and continue to rent a shop to do business.

If that's the case, he can only inquire wherever he goes.

After I settled down, I went out to look for them. I had to know their whereabouts, otherwise my mother would never be relieved.

Why didn't he suspect that his uncle's family died on the road?That's because my uncle is very shrewd.

You can tell by seeing that they have already run away in advance, and they will definitely be more careful in the future.

And at that time, a large number of refugees ran here together, because there were too many people, it is estimated that those bandits would not dare to do it easily.

Fang Youwei also asked Xu Hong and the others before, whether the bandits had robbed refugees.

Xu Hong and the others said that they encountered bandits and were killed because they were afraid of the Yue people chasing them, and instead of taking the official path, they chose a small path.

So I also regret it very much. If they follow the official path with everyone, they will not encounter bandits, and their family members will not die.

As for his uncle's family, Fang Youwei didn't worry about whether he would starve on the road, thinking about those people who were stopped outside the closed city.They said that basically no one died of starvation on the road.

Because it was summer when they left, as long as they walked through the plain outside Qiyang City, they could basically find food in the mountains.

When you arrive in Jiayun City, you can also use money to buy food. At most, you just run out of money and get stuck outside the closed city.

And they didn't see the uncle's family there, which meant that the uncle and the others had already come here.
