After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man

There are no marks on ordinary grain bags, only official grain has them.

After the autumn harvest every year, the grain that has been stored in granaries across the country for a long time will be replaced by new grain.

The replaced grain was either transported to the border or sold to local grain merchants, and the silver proceeds were used as local fiscal revenue.

When Bai Qingyun and his companions were fleeing along the way, they were processing these grains.

Thanks to these grain bags, they have now become the best physical evidence!

"I will give you one last chance. Whose food does this belong to?"

Wen Zhao looked at the woman, his friendly expression no longer existed. To outsiders, it seemed as if he was angry after being deceived by the people.

"Don't blame me for not reminding you. According to the Dazhao law, you are falsely accusing your co-sitter!"

Anyone who falsely accuses another of a crime shall be punished with the same penalty as the defendant.

Robbery is the same as theft, and serious cases may result in the death penalty.

The woman was so frightened that she stood there in a daze, until she heard the words "death penalty" from the crowd, and then she came to her senses.

"Sir, I was wrong. This grain is not mine. I was just blinded for a moment and made it up!"

He rolled and crawled in the same way, and the sounds of his kowtow were much louder than before.

Wen Zhao just looked at him coldly, his eyes full of the majesty of a superior. The master beside him stepped forward and said, "My lord, you have something important to do today, why don't you get out of here!"

If officials cannot say something, someone else will naturally say it for them.

Everyone was happy, and they started to dislike it early on.

If the matter is really investigated, the woman will inevitably go to jail, but there are more important things at the moment.

"Come with me!"

Twelve had already ordered people to pack their luggage and wait for the order to set off.

It took more than two hours to reach the destination.

Wen Zhao walked in front, followed by the village chief's family, Bai's father and Bai Qingyun.

"This place is thirty miles away from the east gate of Jiangzhou Prefecture. It is a quick walk and can be reached on the same day. It is most suitable for people in the village."

The people in the village are not like those in the city. There is no arable land near the city gate, and if there is any, the price is ridiculously high. It is also inconvenient to live there because it is far from the city gate. After all, some things still need to be bought in the city.

The place Wen Zhao chose did not have these concerns.

If you can walk fast, you can go back and forth to the city on the same day. If you ride a horse or drive, it will be even faster.

More importantly, there are a lot of arable land and many hills here, but they look a bit desolate now.

"This used to be a village, but there was a locust plague a few years ago and everyone in the village fled to escape the famine. The village became empty and there are many farmlands nearby."

The village is quite large, but the thatched houses inside have collapsed over time, leaving only a few large adobe houses, which are also overgrown with weeds.

"Okay, that's the general situation. Each family should send someone to bring the deed and documents and follow me into the city!"

After Wen Zhao said this, he deliberately glanced at Bai Qingyun.

Bai Qingyun understood and said to his family, "Dad, I'll go with you!"

The others didn't think much about it and just focused on adapting to their new living environment.

Before leaving, Village Chief Yang said to the gathered people, "Okay, everyone pick a house to live in these days. The person in charge of the family will follow me into the city, and the others will stay here to clean up."

There were not many people setting out this time. After unloading the things on the ox cart, it only took an hour and a half to ride the ox cart to the capital of Jiangzhou Prefecture.

When the officers and soldiers guarding the city gate saw the person coming, they did not stop him but just saluted and let him pass.

The prefect of a city rarely shows up in public.

Wen Zhao led everyone directly to the government office, called the household department, and asked them to make new deeds for everyone.

"Sir, can this new village... continue to use the name Dayang Village?"

Village chief Yang asked the household official cautiously. Although he said he was asking the household official, he was actually asking in front of Prefect Wen.

Others didn't know who the person in front of them was, but Village Chief Yang had asked Twelve.

To be able to be welcomed by the prefect of a city, the Bai family must have met a distinguished person.

It doesn’t hurt to ask.

Sure enough, the household official only glanced at Prefect Wen, and when he saw him nod, he agreed.

Then he took a group of people into the house, talking as he walked.

"You are lucky too. This village has been empty for a long time, and we have never been able to find a suitable person. Now we finally have a place to stay!"

Logically speaking, such a place with geographical advantages is rarely available for people to take advantage of. It's just a whole village, not just one or two households.

Most of the newly moved villagers are single households, and most are just a few brothers-in-law, but it is far from the scale of a village.

The government would directly merge such people into other villages.

If one or two families were allowed to go alone, it would be very inconvenient to manage them.

Although the people who came here to escape this time were an opportunity, most of them had no household registration and their origins were unknown. Even if the government wanted to resettle them, it would not be done in a short time.

"Miss Bai, please follow me!"

After everyone left, Wen Zhao called out to Bai Qingyun who was intentionally falling behind him.

Wen Zhao brought Bai Qingyun directly to the central hall, and Twelve followed behind them all the time.

As soon as he entered the room, Wen Zhao dismissed the people around him and said respectfully to Bai Qingyun: "Thank you, Miss Bai, for risking your life to save your life."

"Master Wen, there is no need to be so polite."

Bai Qingyun is still just a peasant girl, a very ordinary person.

The officials of Dazhao kneel before the emperor and their parents...

But he would not kneel to the people.

Although Wen Zhao did not perform the kneeling ceremony, his bowing was sincere.

The descendants of the Han family army can actually achieve such a level.

At this moment, Bai Qingyun was really curious about Wei Xi's way of controlling his subordinates.

"Sir Wen's biggest headache right now should be how to resettle the people, right?"

Bai Qingyun followed Wen Zhao's lead and told him about the process of rescuing the second princess, naturally concealing the secrets about space. Wen Zhao was fascinated by what he heard.

But today, Wen Zhao was not the only one who wanted to thank Bai Qingyun in person.

Bai Qingyun also had something to discuss with Wen Zhao in detail.

As expected, Wen Zhao frowned when he heard it and looked like he had a headache.

"To be honest, Miss Bai, the resettlement of the people outside the city is a matter of time, but we have summoned all the adults to discuss it for a long time, but we still can't find a solution!"

When they met, Twelve had already informed Wen Zhao of the details of what happened in Dayang Village outside the city last night.

As an official appointed by the imperial court, more than a dozen lives were lost right under his nose.

Under normal circumstances, the capital would send people to investigate, and if it is not handled properly, it would affect the official reputation.

But the times now are different from the past. To put it bluntly, people without household registration are like wandering souls in the world, and can only drift around.

Bingzhou Prefecture is in chaos now, and it is impossible to manage it by splitting yourself into two.

Jiangzhou Prefecture can manage it, but doesn’t know how.

But we can't just ignore it. What happened in Dayang Village last night is the best example.

This is something I am still able to resist.

If they are unable to resist, innocent people will die.

Without any force to counteract them, those desperate criminals will only become more powerful, and it will not be easy for the government to intervene and resolve the situation.
