The eldest daughter of the peasant family just wants to start a career

Chapter 229 What kind of person is the governor of Suzhou City?
She could indeed afford it, but this group of refugees who had gone through so much was different.

While Mu Zhixu was deep in thought, a voice came from in front of him,
"Hey, it's your turn, where is your bowl?"

"Oh, here, thanks."

Mu Zhixu quickly stretched out the bowl.

"There are still steamed buns over there. If you can't get enough of these porridges, you can go get them, but each person can take up to two."

The porridge boy said.

"Thank you,"

Like the refugees, Mu Zhixu showed a look of gratitude.

After getting some news, Mu Zhixu also stopped by to pick up two steamed buns.

I ate dry pancakes along the way. Although the steamed buns are Erhe noodles, they are steamed and fluffy and soft. It must be delicious with sauces or pickles.

As for the bowl of rice porridge, Mu Zhixu didn't bother to take it back all the way, and put away the bowl after drinking it in two or three mouthfuls.

Taking two steamed buns to meet Lu Yangjin, Lu Yangjin obviously got a lot of news, and he has already returned.

"Why did you take so long, did something happen on the way?"

Lu Yangjin asked.

"It's nothing, I picked up two steamed buns along the way."

Mu Zhixu raised the two steamed buns in his hand and shrugged.

The moment Lu Yangjin saw the steamed bun, a smile appeared on the corner of Lu Yangjin's mouth, but soon he said seriously,

"Then let me tell you the news about my plan to come first, but Brother Mu knew all about these news just now."

"I know some news, but I don't hear all of it. Please, brother Lu, tell me again."

Mu Zhixu said.

"That's okay, but the conditions for entering the city are actually quite difficult. Everyone has to pay five taels of silver as a deposit, but this silver is just a deposit. If you want to settle in Suzhou City, you only need to go to the county government to register a household registration. This person is five taels of silver. The deposit will be returned. If you only buy something in Suzhou City, you can exchange it for five taels of silver when you go out of the city with the token."

Lu Yangjin was talking about the news he had inquired about.

"Five taels of silver, that's a lot!"

Li Sanniang was startled when she heard it, then wouldn't their family want 25 taels of silver?
Although Lu Yangjin explained that the money was just a deposit and would be returned, he still felt uneasy.

She and we have had a bumpy journey, and after suffering so much, we came to Suzhou City in order to seek stability, and now it costs five taels of silver just to get started.

I don't know whether the magistrate of Suzhou City is good or bad. Li Sanniang has doubts and can't help being a little worried. She is wondering whether it is feasible for her group to decide to settle in Suzhou City.

If not, then it is better to go back to Yuzhou City. The magistrate of Yuzhou City is a kind person. Although he also charged two taels of silver per person when he entered the city, it was to protect the people in the city and eliminate some vicious refugees. .

It seems that seeing the worry on Li Sanniang's face, Mu Zhixu is also a little uncertain. The reason why she came to Suzhou City is because Feng Wu said that the prefect of Suzhou City is very good, and Suzhou City will be very safe under his management. .

She felt that Fengwu, a prince, would not lie to her, so she walked all the way to Suzhou City without hesitation.

Seemingly seeing that the worries on the faces of Mu Zhixu and Li Sanniang were not similar, Lu Yangjin hurriedly explained to the magistrate,
"Brother Mu, Aunt Li, don't worry, our magistrate is a very good person. Over the years, the people who have managed Suzhou City have no worries about food and drink, and enjoy themselves happily. You may not know that decades ago, the magistrate just When I came here, the city of Suzhou was tortured by the previous magistrate and was riddled with holes, the food for a year of hard work was not enough to pay taxes, and the people were starving and skinny."

There is such a thing,

Having said that, Mu Zhixu also felt that the magistrate did have some skills.

"I think it should be something that happened before that made the magistrate come up with such a bad plan, and our lord has always said that if the five taels of silver is a deposit, we will definitely not deceive the common people. Do as you say, the five taels The money will definitely be returned."

Lu Yangjin seemed to be very confident in the magistrate of Zhoucheng, and spoke with certainty.

"From Brother Lu's words, it seems that Brother Lu admires the magistrate very much." Mu Zhixu raised his eyebrows.

Lu Yangjin was a little embarrassed when he heard the words, but he didn't want to hide it.
"Brother Mu saw it? That's right, how can I hide this from Brother Mu. To tell you the truth, I really admire the Lord Zhifu very much. Since I was born, the Lord Zhifu has been ordered to go to Suzhou City. My little one At that time, Suzhou City was not as prosperous as it is now, with people coming and going everywhere, it can be said that I also witnessed Suzhou City from humble beginnings to prosperity since I was a child."

In fact, he was so serious about reading because he was influenced by some magistrates, whom he met once when he was young.

At that time, he was forced to read by his father all day long, and he was actually a little bored with books, so he skipped class and played around, and just happened to bump into the prefect who was out on errands.

Seeing the idol in his heart, Lu Yangjin couldn't help it when he was a child.

"My lord, when I grow up, I will also let the common people live and work in peace and contentment like you."

My lord laughed,
"Okay, I have ambition, but if you want to be like me in the future, then you have to study hard. There is Yan Ruyu in the book, and the golden house in the book. It is said that it contains the important affairs of the country, the way of the world, and the beautiful scenery everywhere. ...Only if you have seen these things and don't know how to protect the common people, can you be like me."

Hearing the words of the magistrate when he was young, Lu Yangjin held his breath.

Before reading the book that he hated and wished he could treat as the enemy of his life, he read it with great interest, and realized a lot of truth from the book.

Although quite a few people whispered that he was a nerd, he never cared.

Hearing what Lu Yangjin said, Mu Zhixu nodded thoughtfully.

Unexpectedly, the magistrate is so approachable, and even more unexpected that Lu Yangjin, a little nerd who never leaves his books, actually regarded books as his enemy when he was a child.

Lu Yangjin said seriously,

"Brother Mu, you believe me, the magistrate is a very good person, and he never breaks his promise."

Mu Zhixu was silent for a while, "Okay, I believe you."

The upright and capable magistrate of Suzhou City that Lu Yangjin said was similar to what Feng Wu said.

Lu Yangjin nodded, "Then let's go into the city. If this goes on, I'm afraid we won't be able to enter the city today."

Mu Zhixu looked up at the sky, and it was indeed getting late, there were still some people queuing up at the door, and it would be a waste of time to come one by one.

These officers and soldiers will not work all the time, and the city gate will be closed when the time comes.

"Okay, let's go into town then."

Suzhou City is considered a relatively rich city, because most of the area in Suzhou City belongs to plains, there are no mountains, and it is not too difficult or northward, so drought or flooding rarely occurs.
