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

Chapter 230
It can be said that the weather is good, the crops in the field can grow vigorously, and a lot of food is produced every year.

But now, there are no modern technologies and various emerging industries.

In ancient times, for ordinary people, this field was the life of the family, and they relied on the grain in the field to earn some harvest throughout the year.

But the ancient people did not have the burden of modern people's heavy mortgages and car loans, and did not have so many requirements. Their desire was to eat and drink well.

There is no heavy tax pressure, the weather is good every year, the grain harvest is bumper, and the quality of life will naturally improve.

With so many people entering the city every year, it is naturally impossible to have only one gate responsible for registration at the gate.

There are three tables at the entrance, each with an officer and soldier sitting on it, and there are officers and soldiers guarding around. It should prevent some refugees from entering the city without money and causing unnecessary fright.

Although Lu Yangjin was from Suzhou City, not all the officers and soldiers knew him well, so he and Mu Zhixu simply chose a good-looking one.

It’s not just looking at Mian Shan, Mu Zhixu just paid attention, you can still pass this officer and soldier who thoughtfully supported an old lady when she entered the city, and when a young child was distressed when she entered the city, she would reach out and touch her Soothe your head.

"You know the conditions for entering the city, right? Five taels of silver per person. All of you, get off the carriage."

Mu Zhixu was in the front row, and the officer and soldier looked up at the clothes Mu Zhixu was wearing, doubting whether she could afford the money.

This look had happened to me when I entered Zhoucheng before, and Mu Zhixu didn't pay attention to it, so he quickly opened the curtain and let Li Sanniang get off the carriage with Mu Lin and Mu Zhilan and Mu Zhiliu in his arms.

Seeing the people getting off the car, the officers and soldiers were even more surprised. The young man in front of him was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and the family was all women and children. Seeing her tattered attire, she should also be a refugee. It's not easy all the way.

"My lord, my younger brother is not yet three months old and can't turn over and walk. Does he have to pay five taels of silver?"

Mu Zhixu asked.

After asking clearly, she can pay for the money and go in. There are still people queuing up at the gate. She doesn't want to stand at the gate of the city and be looked at like a monkey.

Mu Zhixu doesn't like that so many people focus on her, like a big light bulb.

Hearing this, the officers and soldiers also noticed the child in Li Sanniang's arms, and Li Sanniang hurried forward to remove the clothes that wrapped Mu Lin a little, revealing the sleeping little guy inside.

A small white and tender ball, sleeping soundly, just like the dolls in the New Year pictures, very pleasing.

"This child is well raised by you."

The officers and soldiers praised, "Master Zhifu ordered that no money should be given to children under the age of five, and this little baby is not yet five months old, so it is even more unnecessary."

"Thank you sir."

Mu Zhixu nodded.

"Okay, don't waste time, except for this little doll, there are four of you in a group, 20 taels of silver."

When the officers and soldiers said this, there was always suspicion in their eyes.

Although Mu Zhixu and his party have a carriage, horses are indeed not cheap.But the road was bumpy, and it was not easy for a family with a man who had gone through several cities to come to Suzhou City, let alone Mu Zhixu's group of women and children.

Mu Zhixu doesn't care what the officers and soldiers think. It's not that she has no money and can't afford materials, but she simply thinks that wearing tattered clothes on the road will not attract others' attention.

Wearing such ordinary clothes, no one will notice if you mix in the crowd. This feeling is very safe.

But now there is no need to care so much. After entering the city and settling down, in this Suzhou city, there is no need to pretend to be poor.

Mu Zhixu simply took out the silver from his purse, "This is 20 taels of silver, please check if it is enough."

The officers and soldiers were surprised when they saw the white silver on the table, and they could really take it out.

Take the silver and turn it upside down.

"Zuliang, this is the token of Suzhou City. This token represents the five taels of silver. If you want to settle in this city, go to the government to settle down. When the time comes, hand in the token, and the 20 taels of silver will be returned. Here you go. If you don’t want to settle in the city and want to leave the city, you have to rely on this token, remember not to lose it, understand?”

The officers and soldiers handed over several wooden plaques, four in total, one for each person except Mu Lin, and the wooden plaques were engraved with a word Su, which represented Suzhou City.

Before Mu Zhixu and the others left, the officers and soldiers kindly reminded them,
"After you enter the city, don't cause trouble before you settle down. After all, you are refugees, not the people of our Suzhou City. If you have conflicts with the people in the city, you must be the ones who will be arrested and interrogated first."

What these officers and soldiers said is similar to what the officers and soldiers guarding the gate of Yuzhou City said. These officers and soldiers are all good people.

However, this Suzhou City does not need to register or search for carriages, which saves a lot of trouble.

"We have remembered, thank you sir."

After saying thanks, Mu Zhixu and his party led the carriage into the city.

There is a scene outside the city, and another scene inside the city.

The people in this city really lived and worked in peace and contentment as Lu Yangjin said.

The ordinary people who Mu Zhixu caught his eye all had smiles on their faces. Although they were not dressed so well and were just ordinary coarse linen clothes, they all had smiles on their faces.

This proves that they are content with the life they are living now.

It is now evening.

Half of the sun has set, but half of it is still exposed in the sky. The orange-red light and shadow shines on the city, making everything look so beautiful.

"finally reached."

For some reason, Mu Zhixu, who had been tense all the time, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, as if something that had been pressing down in his heart had finally floated away.

Li Sanniang and Mu Zhilan and Mu Zhiliu who were standing next to her had similar expressions, staring blankly at Suzhou City, which was covered in orange red.

"Yeah, it's finally here."

This sentence was not spoken by Li Sanniang, but by Lu Yangjin.

Mu Zhixu turned his head to look,
"So fast."

"It's nothing if I pay the money and the token. I'm originally from Suzhou City."

Lu Yangjin shrugged.

This is true, Mu Zhixu nodded.

Lu Yangjin is a rich man and a native of Suzhou City just by the material on his body, so the officers and soldiers naturally don't have so many words to tell them.

"Okay, Brother Mu, we have arrived at Suzhou City, which means that our journey together is over."

Lu Yangjin turned around and looked at Mu Zhixu.

Mu Zhixu thanked, "Yes, thanks to Brother Lu's help along the way, otherwise we might not have reached Suzhou City so soon."
