Salty and three years, in the middle of summer. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

A passenger ship slowly docked at the Houzhu Wharf in the south of Jiankang City, and many passengers on board had different accents and clothes.

Seeing these passengers, many people on the dock subconsciously showed disgust, not only the Wu people, but even the overseas Chinese who had crossed the river earlier and settled down in the capital had some dissatisfaction, and there was nowhere to scold a few words.

In the past two years, the situation has gradually stabilized, and Jiankang City has also prospered day by day. Regardless of the north and south, a large number of people come to this best place in Jiangdong every day, either to join relatives or beg for food. Too many people have flocked here, and the price of land near Jiankang has been higher than one day by day, and the price of clothing and food has also soared several times.

This naturally added a lot of pressure to the original residents. In addition, the government at all levels has not been able to effectively resettle these newcomers, resulting in many refugees who have no food and clothing to roam around the suburbs all day long, which inevitably leads to many tragic incidents, and new such evil things are circulating every day.

"Doesn't it mean that Liyang is arrogant and captives people in the upper reaches of the river? Why didn't they take this boat captive, and let them enter the capital east? ”

The small people do not care about the general trend of the world, but only know that once these people come to Jiankang, they will compete with them for survival resources, so they are full of rejection of these new entrants.

However, people's hearts and temperaments are different, and there are many open-minded people who can't help but sigh when they see that those newcomers are dressed in a lot of miserable clothes: "I heard that there is a big chaos in the north, and these people must have all been bad, and it is already a great luck to be able to escape the river." ”

Those passengers disembarked one after another, some of them had their own places to go, or relatives and friends were waiting at the pier early, and as soon as they saw each other, they wept at each other, sighed that their life experiences were lost, and poured out their feelings of longing. But more of them stood on the dock with a blank and sad face, looking at the bustling city in front of them, not knowing where to go, and silently wept.

At this time, several strong men poured out of the crowd and walked towards those who had no answer.

Seeing this scene, those people couldn't help but change their color, their faces showed a little fear and grief, and they said in a trembling voice: "What are you going to do? We're just the ones who have lost our homes and robbed by the disaster, and we don't have much to ...... with us."

"Don't get me wrong, we really don't have any malice."

Although the actions of those strong men were violent, their demeanor was not lacking in kindness, and when they approached, they were full of eager smiles: "You have gone through many disasters and can save your lives to cross the river, which shows that you are also a blessed family, blessed by the gods, and ominous." However, although the city is prosperous, it is not easy to live in peace. You are standing here in despair, you must have nowhere to go, right? ”

Those people's expressions were still full of vigilance, and a group of people subconsciously gathered together, and after hearing this, they were even more busy shaking their heads and said: "We have our own relatives and friends to greet us, and the boat trip is missed or missed, but we will meet soon." ”

"You don't have to lie to me, we people walk here all year round, and you can see at a glance if there is a place for visitors to run. And ye yourselves say that the remnant have no goods to be had, and we have nothing to plan against you. Not only that, but to give you a future to settle down, if you miss it, you will definitely regret the lack of food and clothing in the blind stream in the future! ”

Those strong men tried to make a kind gesture, but these newcomers were already full of vigilance about the unknown region, how could they believe that someone was so kind, and a group of people walked along the river, not daring to entangle with these strong men again.

"It's not easy to be a good person in this world, so I might as well tell you clearly. We are all working for the noble families in the capital, and we are not evil people. Indeed, I am speaking to you to point you to a good place. ”

Seeing that these people were so estranged, the strong men still didn't give up, and they didn't need to be strong, they just followed behind these people and said in a loud voice: "You won't have any good place to stay in the capital, but there are nobles and good property in Qu'a County that urgently needs to recruit helpers." If you go there, whether you are a worker or a tenant, as long as you are willing to do things, it will not take a few years for you to settle down in the county and settle down in Jiangdong! ”

Most of the people in that group were at a loss, and when they heard the shouts of the strong men, they subconsciously paused and looked at the strong men and asked, "Are you not lying?" ”

At this time, there were also some boatmen near the wharf who said: "They are indeed not deceiving people, these people are indeed recruiting artisan tenants for the noble family, and Qu'a is indeed a good land to live in." If you don't believe it, you can go to the north of the dock to register with the city supervisor, and then there will be officials who will ask you if you would like to go to Qu'a. When you go there, as long as you are willing to do things, you can easily get food, clothing, tea and rice. If there is a skill, the helper is doubled. ”

When the strong men heard these words, they were anxious, and they hurriedly reprimanded those who intervened, and then shouted to the newcomers: "If you really go to the city supervisor, you have to wait for the scheduled placement, and there will be no results in ten months." If you go to Qu'a with us, you can settle down immediately, we are familiar with each other in the noble village, and we will naturally place a good messenger for you. Don't say anything on the side, as long as you promise to go with us, you will immediately have half a zhang of linen cloth and five buckets of japonica rice! ”

Hearing this, among the newcomers, the old and stable ones were still reserved, but some of the young people couldn't hold back anymore, and they came out regardless of the obstacles: "I'll go with you, and I want rice and cloth now!" ”

Seeing that many people had been pulled, the strong men suddenly had joy on their faces, and patted their chests and promised: "It's no problem, as long as you come with us, the promised goods will be available immediately, and when you have gathered enough boatloads, we will go to Qu'a Xing immediately!" ”

A young man of extraordinary bearing, well-dressed, and unusual-looking stood on the deck, escorted by several attachés. Seeing this scene on the shore, the young man's face couldn't help but show a strange color, and he asked someone to call the boatman on the ship, pointed to the scene on the shore and asked with a smile: "Old man, what those slaves said is true or false?" Could it be that there are really noble families in the capital who collect villagers and help them settle down? ”

The boatman was a little restrained, and after hearing this question, he hurriedly replied: "As Lang Jun can see, there are thousands of daughters in the capital, Shen Lang, who has bought a house in Qu'a and other counties, and needs a large number of Zhuangke helpers. Those slaves had to rush in front of the city supervisor to pick them up, and send them to one person to receive a reward in the nobleman's house. In the wharves around Qinhuai, there are many people who make a living from this all year round and have gained a lot. ”

When the young man heard this, he still didn't believe it, he came from the north to the south, and the most worthless thing he saw was human life, so he naturally didn't believe that there would be people in Jiangdong who would be willing to spend money to hire people and treat them well. So after hearing this, the young man said with a smile: "If Qu Ah is really a good place, why don't you go to the old man, and still run back and forth on this river?" ”

When the boatman heard this, his face showed a trace of helplessness: "It's just because the Lingmen is too annoying, forcing the Shen family to only use Ling...... He could only use the northerners as tenants to allow his family to establish a business in Zuojin County. Humble ancestral home Danyang, no chance to go to the happy land. ”

When the young man heard this, his expression was even more different, and before he could ask a question, he listened to the servant's report: "Lang Jun, Chu Jun has arrived, and someone will get on the boat and lead Lang Jun to the meeting." ”

Hearing this, the young man's face suddenly welled up with joy, and he had no time to ask any more questions to satisfy the little curiosity in his heart, and ordered the servant to give the boatman some reward, and then he disembarked from the boat surrounded by the attaché, and hurried to meet his friend.

Beyond the wharf was an open flat field, where a pavilion was built for the officials of the noble clan to welcome and send them to. When the young man approached, he saw a scholar in a green shirt with a simple and proud demeanor standing in front of the pavilion, his face was even more happy, and he strode in front of the scholar, and before he could speak, his tone was already faintly choked: "I don't think I'm lucky enough to be able to meet Brother Ji Ye in Jiangdong......"

The scholar who came to greet his friends was Henan Yang Zhai Chu Chu Ji Ye, now the official residence Wu Wang Literature, is a famous overseas Chinese celebrity in the capital, known as the Spring and Autumn Period of Pili, joy and anger are invisible. At this time, when he saw his old friend, although his expression was flat, his eyes also had some ripples, and he took the young man's arm and returned to the pavilion, signaling the servants to separate the dust with a gauze tent, and put out the wine that had been prepared long ago.

"At the beginning of the year, I was convinced that everyone sent people to wait for Daohui at various ferries in the capital, and the sun and the moon passed, and I didn't dare to think much about it in my heart...... Fortunately, Daohui finally arrived safely, so that I can live up to my old friendship! ”

Chu Jiye took the young man's hand and said with emotion.

This young man's name is Du He, a Jingzhao person, who stayed in Guanzhong with his father and ancestors in his early years. With the rapid deterioration of the situation in Guanzhong this year, my father and ancestors were all harmed, but fortunately they were rescued by the old and came across the river.

After sitting down with each other, the young man couldn't help but burst into tears when he talked about the hardships he had suffered for most of the past six months, as well as the displacement of most of his family. Seeing this, Chu Jiye sighed with emotion, but also comforted Du He.

"Brother Ji Ye, now that the north floor is swinging, Liu Wei is dead, but the stone thief is already in great difficulty, according to Guanzhong in the west and the sea in the east, no one can stop it, or I am afraid that there is a sense of peeping south, the court should take precautions as soon as possible!"

After a long time, Duch gradually stabilized his mood, and then he talked about the current situation in the Northland. The Xiongnu puppet Zhao has perished, replaced by the more ferocious and tyrannical Shi's Qianhu. Nowadays, it is difficult to control the Hu Dynasty, and it has already occupied most of the rivers and mountains in the north.

"When I traveled through Liyang, I saw a lot of arrogance in his department, and even set up a fence to block the river, cut off the east and west waterways, and check the passing passengers. The clouds in the north are getting thicker, but Jiangdong is still in harmony with the inside and outside, I am afraid it is not the blessing of the community......"

After Chu Jiye heard this, a trace of melancholy also flashed in his demeanor. It's just that even if he has any thoughts in his heart, he has never been accustomed to preaching in front of people, and after being silent for a long time, he opened the topic: "After receiving Daohui's letter, I also sent people to inquire in all directions, and learned that there are still scattered family members in Xiangyang, and I have sent someone to find out, and there should be news in the near future." It's a pity that Mu Hou died early, if he knew that someone from the sect came south, he should also be very excited. ”

Hearing this, Du He's demeanor was gloomy again, his family was also a prominent family in Guanzhong, but his own branch was involved in the Huns' internal strife and suffered. Originally, he planned to join his brother Du Yi after crossing the river, but he didn't expect that Du Yi had already died of illness, and now he is alone, but he doesn't know how to stand on his own feet in Jiangdong.

Chu Jiye also saw that Du He was worried, so he smiled and comforted: "Daohui, you are from a famous family, you are known for your fun and curiosity, and you may have difficulties for a while, but after a long time, people know your virtuous ability, and it is not difficult to establish yourself in Jiangdong." ”

"Yes, I have to ask Brother Ji Ye, how many outstanding people are there in Jiangdong now? Presumably, Brother Ji Ye is already in the world, right? ”

Putting aside all those worries in his heart, Duch asked with a smile.

When Chu Jiye heard this, he smiled and shook his head: "Nowadays, there are three people in the capital, and compared with these three people, the rest can only accompany the last seat." ”
