Malicious Medical Princess of the Marquis House

Chapter Nine hundred and fourteenth post money

The spring of the fourteenth year of Wende came earlier than in previous years.

In the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

The stalemate of the war finally broke the ice.

Beirong Xiliang, unable to support the endless war, left countless corpses of his comrades and retreated separately.

Pei Meng of the Northwest Army led his army to pursue the Xiliang Army, and the poor bandits not only wanted to chase them, but also killed them all.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion ordered the pursuit of the Beirong Army, and it must not let Beirong have a chance to make a comeback. If there is a chance, directly destroy the Beirong royal court and kill all the Beirong royal family.

This is the order of the governor Li Daren.

Liu Zhao took the initiative to invite Ying to lead his army to pursue Beirong Wangting, but was rejected by the governor Li.

Your Majesty has a decree to call His Highness King Qin back to Beijing to report on his duties. This is a decree, please take a look at it, Your Majesty.

Liu Zhao suppressed his dissatisfaction, picked up the will and glanced at it.

Sure enough, he was called back to Beijing.

The battle is not over yet, why call me back to Beijing at this time?

I don't know. The prince hastened to order his servants to pack their luggage and leave tomorrow.

My lord doesn't want to see me so much, I've been looking forward to my lord going back to the capital as soon as possible. Liu Zhao exposed Lord Li's inner thoughts.

Mr. Li laughed, Your Highness is a great Buddha, and there is no room for me under the temple here. Hurry up, hurry up.

Master Li waved his hand, wanting to drive Liu Zhao away.

For Master Li, Liu Zhao led the army, it was a world of ice and fire.

Every time Liu Zhao leads troops to go out to battle, Mr. Li is worried that something will happen, and he has trouble sleeping and eating every day.

After four or five years of living like this, I am afraid that my life will be shortened by ten or eight years.

He wished he could pack Liu Zhao back to the capital right now.

The longer Liu Zhao stayed, the more he would worry about it.

Liu Zhao was also very straightforward, Let's go back to Beijing tomorrow. Is there anything you want me to bring back to Beijing, my lord?

My lord has kindly accepted it. It's better than anything else that you hurry back to Beijing. I have nothing to bring you.

Liu Zhao rolled his eyes directly.

Early the next morning, before dawn, Liu Zhao led his troops back to Beijing.

The battle is still going on, and it's time for him to retire.

Looking back, he will miss the land, the people. But he misses his wife and children in the capital even more.

...

The capital city is as lively as ever, and it is getting more and more lively.

In the refugee camp in the north of the city, it was confirmed that Beirong Xiliang would not invade again. A large number of refugees packed their bags and prepared to leave for their hometowns.

In order to facilitate the return of refugees to their hometowns, the car dealership organized a large-scale convoy.

As long as you give a small fare, the four-wheeled carriage will take everyone back to their hometown.

Refugees lined up to buy tickets with their luggage.

Wagon No. 103, five tickets, ready.

Where is the No. 103 car?

Go straight down the official road. If you can't find it, ask the driver on the side of the road.

Oh! The refugee took the ticket and led his family to look for the No. 103 carriage.

Buy a ticket and go to Xihe County.

Several people?

Ten adults and four children.

I need to buy twelve tickets, one hundred and twenty cents per ticket.

Why is it so expensive?

This is already the best price. You rent a car from an outside car dealership. When you go to Xihe County, your family doesn't have ten taels of silver, so you can't rent a car at all.

This is true.

Cao Dalang hesitated, Take twelve tickets. Can I get a refund?

Refunds can be made within five days. To get a refund, go to the refund window. There is no refund here. Which day do you want the ticket for?

I want tomorrow.

Paying money with one hand and silver with the other, Cao Dalang took twelve tickets and kept them close to his body, worried that someone would steal them.

After buying the ticket, he hurried back to the rented cement room.

Both rooms are full of luggage.

After staying in the capital for several years, I can finally go home.

Master Cao couldn't hide his excitement.

Homeland is hard to leave.

After leaving home for so many years, what I miss most is the house, land, and oil mill.

I don't know if the house at home has been in trouble. If I go back at this time, I can plant another crop. The oil mill has to be reopened. Come on, have you bought the tickets?

I bought it. Tomorrow's ticket only cost more than one or two taels of silver. Carriage No. 235 will leave early tomorrow morning.

With a dozen or so people in our family, can we sit in a carriage?

Don't worry. Don't talk about a dozen people, thirty people can fit in.

Can it hold so many people?

The widened and extended four-wheeled carriage is specially used for transporting goods. In order to facilitate us refugees, it is specially taken out to carry people.

The fare is more than 100 yuan per person. Isn't it a loss of money for such a long distance? Cao Xu asked curiously.

Cao Dalang shook his head, I heard that it is Huimin who only charges a little money for fodder.

The imperial court has treated us refugees well these years. Cao Xu felt emotional.

Mr. Cao smoked a pipe, nodded and said, The imperial court today is much stronger than it was in the early years. Old lady, do you remember that when we got married, we also fought wars. The imperial court is not as benevolent as it is now. The food is expropriated by the government, and the family Not a single grain left. We survived thanks to the two biscuits you hid on your body.

Who says it's not! Now the imperial court really cares about the common people.

After Cao Xu finished speaking, he laughed again, I never thought that my wife would be able to eat a bowl of rice from the imperial court after living for decades.

Both husband and wife laughed.

Cao Dalang said weakly: Why don't you stay in the capital? The capital is much better than Xihe County, both in work and in business.

Fart! Master Cao snapped, My family is in Xihe County, and I have to go back to Xihe County. If I don't go back, who will take care of the land at home? Who will take care of the oil mill? Don't worry about what you have. Don't worry. Lao Tzu went back to farm. The land is our foundation. If we stay in the capital, we have no house or land, and people are like duckweed. When they die, they can only be buried in mass graves and cannot enter the ancestral graves.

Cao Xu's voice echoed, Boss, what your father said is correct. Xihe County is our root. You can't think about it that you shouldn't have.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law secretly pulled Cao Dalang's sleeve to signal him not to talk nonsense.

Cao Dalang looked bored, I'll just talk about it casually. I didn't say I wouldn't go back to Xihe County, but I just thought that there would be more opportunities in the capital, and I would go back after earning some money.

Dream! Unless I die, you don't want to stay in the capital. One sentence from Master Cao blocked Cao Dalang's little thoughts.

The couple went back to the next room.

Cao Dalang's wife complained, Why are you talking about staying in the capital?

I just wanted to test it out. Cao Dalang was aggrieved.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law snorted, It's not the time to stay in the capital. I have been away from home for so many years, so I have to go back and have a look first. We will find a chance to come to the capital next year. I will do more embroidery while I am at home. work, when the time comes to sell it in the capital, the price will be at least double that of Xihe County.

It's so expensive? Cao Dalang was surprised.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law nodded heavily, I specially bought silk thread, which cannot be bought in Xihe County. Don't tell my mother-in-law about this. If she knows, she should give my silk thread to the elder sister and younger sister.

Cao Dalang yelled, but didn't answer. The elder sister and younger sister mentioned by the daughter-in-law are both his own sisters. What can he do for a eccentric girl who is a mother.

Then what do I do? he asked.

Cao Dalang's daughter-in-law gave him a blank look, Press the oil honestly. Didn't you say that tea seed oil is expensive here in the capital, so you should squeeze more tea seed oil and bring them to the capital to sell together.

It's a way. Don't forget that we still have shares in Huanyu Transportation, and we can enjoy dividends every year.

Speaking of this, Cao Dalang's wife looked beaming.

At the beginning, he made a desperate move and used all his savings to buy the stocks of Huanyu Transportation. It was really a right choice.

Unfortunately, there are only three shares.

If there were thirty strands, she would wake up laughing from her dreams.

Then she sighed again, It's a pity that Dabao can't be allowed to stay in the capital to study. I heard that junior schools in Xinmin County don't have to study, and even the pen, ink, paper and inkstone are free. There is no free school in Xihe County for Dabao to study.

That's why I said we should stay in the capital. We also bought a house in Xinmin County. We live downstairs and rent out the upstairs.

Cao Dalang's wife rolled her eyes at him, Where's the money? Where did the money come from? Can you convince father and mother?

Cao Dalang looked depressed, Forget it, forget it, I'll find a way to come to the capital next year.

I'll have to go back this year anyway.

There has been no one at home for several years, so I don't know how dilapidated the house is.

Early the next morning, a dozen or so members of Cao's family, carrying large and small bags, found the No. 235 carriage along the official road.

All large luggage should be put on the roof of the car, and it is not allowed to take up space in the car.

What if the roof falls off?

It can't fall. If you really want to fall, the person sitting in the door of the car will definitely see it.

The door of the carriage opened at the rear of the carriage. If the luggage falls, it is indeed visible.

Can the roof hold that much luggage?

Don't worry, the iron bars are welded on the roof, and wooden boards are built to ensure that nothing will happen. We have gone back and forth hundreds of times to pull people and goods, and we have never had any problems.

Where did you pull it before?

The front line of the border, you can even go to the prairie.

It will take about ten days to go to Xihe County. Can you make money with such a small fare?

It can't take more than ten days. We are fast, and we can get there in seven or eight days. If the road is paved with concrete, it can be faster. The fare you give, I will tell you the truth, even the fodder money is not enough. Not enough, not to mention the wages of our coachman.

Then you are still willing to drive us back to Xihe County?

The imperial court has subsidies, and the car dealership can't lose money.

This year, the imperial court was very generous. They even organized a car dealership to send us refugees home.

I heard people say that the imperial court made a fortune last year, and they have some spare cash on hand, so they are willing to use the money to benefit the people.

Where does the imperial court make money from? Brother, you are well-informed, tell us about it.

It seems that 100,000 cattle, sheep and horses were seized, and tens of thousands of captives were exchanged for money.

One hundred thousand cattle, sheep and horses, how much will that cost?

There must be a million taels.

How can captives be exchanged for money? Isn't it said that captives waste food?

You're talking about the old emperor's calendar. Prisoners are worth a lot now, and the frontier soldiers are not willing to behead people, they are more willing to capture them alive.

Tell me, tell me, what's going on?

When you go back to Xihe County, you will understand when you see it with your own eyes. Now tell you, you can't understand.
