Exiled after the marriage? My elder sister sent me to the throne!

Chapter 38 Surname

Jiang Qiu was startled: "Bandits?"

"Their steps were unsteady, more like people who had been hungry for a long time."

Jiang Qiu understood: "Refugees!"

"Ah."

Jiang Qiu scratched his head: "Didn't Lord Luo say that there are no refugees here?"

"If we don't deal with natural disasters and man-made disasters, there will only be more and more refugees, and he is not that well-informed."

Jiang Qiu instantly became nervous, "What should I do?"

"I'll go out and check the situation first, don't panic." Lu Ce bent down and walked out.

As everyone had just rested for a short while, the officers on guard were not yet sleepy enough and soon noticed someone coming. They immediately became alert and finally pulled out the machetes at their waists, which flashed silver light in the night.

The common people looked at the officers and soldiers in confusion. Why were there officers and soldiers on the road?

Aren’t officers and soldiers enjoying themselves in the city?

When the people holding torches saw the soldiers, they all knelt on the ground without saying a word and said, "Sirs, we have no other intentions. We are just passing by. We don't want to take the official road. Please don't kill us."

Bang bang bang kowtow——

The sounds became duller and duller.

The officials hurriedly asked Luo Yunchun to deal with them. Luo Yunchun got off the carriage and saw that they were dirty and must have not eaten for a long time. He said to the man standing in front, "Where are you from and where are you going? Tell the truth!"

"We live in Xiangzhou. We have always been tenants of a landlord. But all the landlord's land was taken away by bandits, and we were driven out. Later, we had no other choice but to go to the capital. Once we get there, His Majesty will always take care of us."

The people's ideas are simple.

They thought of going to the government to complain, but the government ignored them. Then they went to other towns, but their existence was redundant. To many officials, they were people to be driven away. They had been driven away for too long and had been scolded all the time. Until one day, they heard that people who went to the capital, even beggars, could have enough food. They also fantasized about the prosperity of the capital and hoped to have a full meal after arriving there.

They took the official road this time because it had been raining for several days. They wanted to walk faster so that even a place to rest could be on a flat surface. So they slept during the day and traveled at night because there would usually be no one on the official road at night. They didn't expect that there would be officials here!

As ordinary farmers, they have no idea what punishment they will receive if they walk on the official road. They only know that they are not allowed to walk on the official road, so they are all very frightened and afraid of losing their heads.

"You stand up first."

Luo Yunchun rubbed his eyebrows.

This group of people still have some brains at the moment and did not rush up blindly to snatch food. Although civilians who take the official road need to be punished to a certain extent, he is not the county magistrate of this area, so he is too lazy to care.

Everyone stood up.

His eyes were filled with fear.

The exiles, hearing the noise, also stood up one by one. Seeing their skinny appearance, everyone stared at them vigilantly. Compared with the refugees, they were always richer and had silver hidden everywhere on their bodies. If they were robbed, the consequences would be disastrous!

"You guys go through here, and remember not to walk on the official road again, or you will lose your head in a minute."

"Thank you, sir!"

……

A group of people knelt down, kowtowed and expressed their gratitude, feeling that they had met a kind official.

They left as if nothing had happened.

Jiang Qiu pursed his lips: "So annoying!"

Lu Ce was suddenly amused by her.

She can always express her inner feelings intuitively.

Jiang Qiu rolled his eyes and punched Lu Ce's arm. "Laugh, laugh, laugh. What are you laughing at?"

"I am half your master, but you always beat him up and don't know how to respect him."

"Go away and go to sleep. I'm very sleepy."

The appearance of the refugees seemed to be no different from that of ordinary people passing by. People just took a look at them as they passed by.

But it left a deep mark in my heart.

Many people present were once high-ranking officials and had heard of refugees, but it was the first time they saw their existence firsthand and had mixed feelings. They were ordinary people, and had been oppressed to this extent. Now they would be commoners in the future, so what would they become?

Many people have decided to live frugally!

Try not to buy things from Guancha and Jiang Qiu.

Jiang Qiu never expected that after encountering Lumina, his own business would be the first to be affected.

This was the first time that the products were not sold out. Fortunately, due to the weather, Jiang Qiu prepared steamed buns which could be stored for a while. But even so, it was the first time that Jiang Qiu encountered sales difficulties in this era. The reason for doing business is that he can still make some money.

For example, the porridge previously sold to imperial merchants made a profit of eighty taels. Normally, one could sell ten to twenty taels a day. Even if 60% was handed over, one could still make around four to eight taels.

After deducting the cost, he could earn two to four taels a day. Although it seemed little, the annual living expenses of an ordinary family of five was about ten taels of silver. Jiang Qiu didn't know how poor Qiongzhou was. How much money could he make there?

So I thought I'd make some money while I could.

But now everyone has to tighten their belts.

Jiang Qiu's Painful Mask: "How can we make money? When can more royal merchants come?"

Without waiting for Lu Ce to speak.

Jiang Qiu's eyes lit up: "Got it!"

Lu Ce: "Hmm?"

Jiang Qiu laughed happily: "We can't sell to the people we have now, but we can make some desserts that can be stored and sell them in the county. In that case, we don't have to give Lord Luo a commission. Remember when we went shopping last time, didn't we ask about the price of cakes there? In that case, we can make a batch of cakes and store them, and then sell them there. Although the profit will be much less, we can still make some money. What do you think?"

Lu Ce was a little shaken.

Suddenly I could understand why Jiang Qiu, a female ghost, could be resurrected?

Although she looks depressed and complains non-stop when encountering problems, she will also actively try to find solutions, is full of energy, and always moves forward.

Like a little sun.

At the beginning, he was also very depressed and had lost all interest in this world. It was because she suddenly woke up that he brought him out.

Lu Ce's eyes flashed, "I think it's okay."

"Hey, I'm so smart."

Jiang Qiu is not at all stingy in praising himself.

Lu Ce lowered his head and smiled faintly, his brows and eyes were relaxed, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the little girl with a dark face beside him, and his empty heart was filled little by little.
