Happiness System

Chapter 391: True Gold's Escape 53

The division of the Meng family took a long time to discuss, and finally the old man asked someone to carry him back there and the division was finally successful.

The Meng family’s affairs have been settled, and it is time for them to leave the sea.

These few days have not been wasted, and each family has already figured out the situation here.

Everyone is now in Longhai Kingdom on Fengming Continent.

The territory of Longhai Kingdom is more than three times that of Daqi, but its population is less than one million, so Longhai Kingdom is very willing to accept these foreign populations.

Now Longhai State has given them three options. One is to give them a designated route to go to the uninhabited area to enclose land and establish a country. During this process, Longhai State will send troops to supervise and not allow them to disturb the people.

The second side is to disperse and distribute them to various cities, and the third is to build a city in the wasteland area of ​​Longhai Kingdom, with the ruler of Daqi Kingdom as the city lord.

Of course, they can also board a ship and leave to find another continent.

The worst thing is that unless they board the ship and leave Fengming Continent, these ships will have to be handed over. The Longhai Kingdom has set its sights on these big ships!

The boats they made from these mutant trees are so good that they have been drifting on the sea for more than a year without being corroded or rotted, and they have not deformed or fallen apart after going through so many storms. It can be seen that they are indeed very good boats.

Meng Yuxi was also very reluctant to part with these woods. After learning that the ship had to be handed over, she had people dismantle and transport away everything except the hull structure that belonged to the Wen family.

Daqi has a population of tens of millions. After many disassemblies and reorganizations, the number of people who arrived at Fengming Continent in this batch is less than 60,000.

Emperor Hongyuan was too lazy to go through the trouble of establishing a country, so he chose to build a city, and he did not force his soldiers and subjects to follow him.

Meng Yuxi really didn't want to follow Emperor Hongyuan at first. After all, Emperor Hongyuan was already fifty years old, and when the new Tianyuan City was built, it would be time to compete for the throne.

She wanted to live a peaceful life and didn't want to get involved.

But Wen Yujin, Meng Yiyun and others all want to follow Emperor Hongyuan to rebuild Tianyuan City!

The laws of Longhai Kingdom are different from those of Daqi. Building a city inside is equivalent to re-establishing a new small country. The difference is that starting from the third year, they need to pay taxes regularly.

There were five people participating in the family meeting, Meng Yuxi, Wen Yujin, Old Man Meng, Meng Yiyun, and Meng Shijin. Meng Yuxi was defeated by a score of one to four.

It’s quite depressing!

Well, it was because she had no sense of belonging. The Meng family and the Wen family loved Daqi with the same feeling as she loved her motherland.

"Have everything been packed?"

Since yesterday, they have been camping on land, and when tomorrow morning comes, they will start a new chapter in Longhai Kingdom.

"Madam, everything is ready. Wen Cheng has already left for the city to buy food!"

Xiaoqiu felt happy when she thought that the gold and silver here could be used normally and she no longer had to look for food everywhere.

Meng Yuxi nodded and said nothing else.

It would take more than three months to walk from here to the place allocated for them to build a city at a normal walking speed.

It's autumn now, but it will be winter there.

Xintianyuan City is located in the north, where the area is covered with snow for at least four months a year.

That is to say, if they move slowly, they will not be able to build houses for the winter. They may need to stay in the nearest city to spend the winter before continuing to move forward, which means that there will be a large expenditure.

Families like them can afford the money, but small families and ordinary people cannot.

There were 60,000 people who arrived this time, and only a few thousand did not want to travel any longer and chose to be assigned by the government to nearby cities and villages. The remaining 50,000 people were willing to continue to follow.

Whether it is building a city or constructing a road, a large number of manpower is needed. If these people are willing to follow, the government naturally cannot sit idly by.

Wen Cheng and his companions traveled with the government. In addition to purchasing food, they also had to buy mules, cattle and horses.

The next day, before dawn, the whole camp became lively.

There are only six horses left in the Wen family. Dazhuang is no longer a labor horse, so Wen Cheng and his friends rode two of the remaining horses. Meng Yuxi took Xiaoxia, Xiaoqiu, Muyao and Xiaoxiao in one carriage, the old couple of the Meng family and Meng Yiyun and his son took another carriage, and the remaining horse was ridden by Wen Qing.

The transportation of materials depends entirely on human-powered carts.

Fortunately, the Wen family is large and most of them are young and middle-aged, so there is no need to worry about transportation problems.

After a simple breakfast, the guards dismantled and put away the tents. As the team slowly moved forward, the sun still hadn't come out.

They only stopped for half an hour at noon. Everyone ate some dry food, rested their feet, and then continued on their journey.

It was not until near evening that they joined the purchasing team.

This is just a small coastal city, and supplies are not abundant. Because there are too many outsiders, a purchase restriction policy has been implemented in order not to interfere with the lives of local people.

Fortunately, they had an unexpected gain.

"Local residents can't remember how many immigrants have come here. We didn't communicate very well at first, but then a man came out and greeted us in Mandarin...

Later, we learned that their group left early and did not suffer too much in Luli Continent, but most of them were killed along the way. By the end of the journey, only a hundred thousand or so were left out of the hundreds of thousands.

Unfortunately, the boatmen they found were not good enough. Among the nearly thirty ships, only five or six finally reached Fengming Continent safely. Excluding those who died of starvation or disease, there were less than ten thousand people left.

The local official who led them to escape the famine did not escape the shipwreck. When they arrived here without a leader, they chose to be resettled nearby by the government.

Their group of people arrived early, and the government arranged for subsequent arrivals to be relocated to other cities.

But so far, we have the largest number of survivors, and we are the only one who chose to establish a fiefdom and build a city."

Of course he also heard other information, and then saw that the guy was good, so he was recruited into the team, which was just the right role for him to impulsively translate.

However, we only bought two cows this time. Mules and horses, which are popular goods, are in short supply here and were snatched away by the people ahead!

Meng Yuxi sighed, "Do we have to collect wood all the way over there to build a wooden house for the transition?"

Originally, she thought that after they bought the horses, they would send some people there first to build the house.

The main thing is to grab the land and choose a good location for the house.

On the government side, Emperor Hongyuan was also going to take some people and rush there to select a site. Now that he couldn't buy horses and carriages, he had to put the plan on hold for the time being!

“This city is relatively close. There is a bigger city three days down the road. There is still hope that I can buy a carriage and horses there.

If that still doesn’t work, then we have to keep walking for two more days. Further ahead is the largest city here, Taoyuan City.

The small town we visited yesterday and the medium-sized town we will pass through next are all affiliated to Taoyuan City.

But Taoyuan City only belongs to the imperial court, not the fief of the emperor's grandson."

Wen Cheng continued to talk about what he knew.

Wen Yujin frowned and said, "You guys continue to rush to the next city tomorrow morning. If you still can't buy horses, you don't have to wait for us, just go directly to Taoyuan City."

"Yes, Master!"

The large group stopped to rest only when the sun set and it was almost completely dark.

Wen Yujin took his men to go hunting, while Wen Cheng and housekeeper Wen only led people to cook and set up tents.

Fortunately, it is autumn now, with dry weather and little rain, otherwise it would be troublesome if it rained!

The next morning, before Meng Yuxi and the others got up, Wen Cheng took his men to the next city.

Meng Yuxi and his group continued to move forward slowly.

Meng Yiyun and Meng Shijin have both found their own positions. Recently, they have been very active in asking Meng Yuxi questions about medicine, and have asked them to flip through the medical books in Meng Yuxi's hands again and again.

The two of them really had a good brain for reading. Along the way, they had almost memorized all the medical books. Now all they lacked was to put them into practice.

The Wen family eats well, and most of them are young and strong, so naturally there will be no patients for them to practice on.

Moreover, they are now making quite a good progress. Perhaps because he was frightened by the disaster in Luli Continent, Emperor Hongyuan is now thinking about hurrying, hurrying, and hurrying!

Every day they had to start their journey in the fog before dawn, and usually rest for half an hour at noon. The time would be longer in the afternoon as people would be more tired, so they would rest for fifteen minutes in between. Then at night, when they stopped to set up camp, it was already dark!

The Meng family father and son wanted to go out and find refugees to provide free medical treatment, but they couldn't.

Seeing their depressed looks, Meng Yuxi yawned and said, "Come on, the whole team is on their way now. Even if we let you go for a consultation, what's the use? We don't have much medicine!"

Tsk, her father and brother still have a long way to go if they want to become doctors.

The top priority now is naturally to quickly reach the new city, then build a house, and then store food for the winter!

Who has time to care about these things now?

Three days later, Wen Cheng bought a dozen horses and a carriage and returned to pick them up.

The horses of Fengming Continent are naturally not as good as the mutant horses like Dazhuang, but there is no problem in transporting the hundreds of people of the Wen family and their supplies!

They reorganized their supplies that day, and the next day they left the team and moved forward at full speed.

It took them less than a month to reach their destination, which was a journey of more than three months, and they went into the city to shop frequently along the way!

After all, Meng Yiyun and his family are weak scholars, and they also need to help take care of their granddaughter (daughter), so naturally they have no time to think about those messy things.

When they arrived at the last city, the government officials and the Taoist priest set out first to select a site. Meng Yuxi and his group stayed in the small city for two days to rest, and then they could slow down on the road ahead.

At this time, although it had not snowed yet, they had already put on thick cotton clothes.

"Hiss, the charcoal here is so expensive!"

Meng Yiyun couldn't bear to see his granddaughter suffer from the cold, so he took some silver and went out to buy some charcoal. In the end, he gritted his teeth and bought five kilograms of charcoal.

Meng Yuxi picked up a piece and took a look. She didn't see any difference from the charcoal in later generations. She threw it back and clapped her hands. "It's just charcoal. Daddy is so cold, why don't you tell me earlier? I'll burn as many as you need!"

"This is silver charcoal, not ordinary firewood charcoal!"

"My daughter knows, Daddy, don't look down on people!"
