"Qingzhou Daily, Qingzhou Daily, Qingzhou Textile Mill recruits female workers, one or two silver a month!"

The sun is rising in the east, and under the severe cold, the voice of a newsboy appears on the streets and alleys of Qingzhou in the early morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

As the newspaper was gradually accepted by the people in Qingzhou, some scholars who had spare money in their hands also developed the habit of reading newspapers.

Moreover, the price of newspapers has also dropped again and again, and now it is not painful to buy a newspaper, and some people will even buy newspapers and take them back for children who are reading to read to themselves.

"The textile mill recruits female workers, one or two silver a month, did I hear it wrong."

An old man in a shabby padded jacket muttered to himself.

Then he walked quickly to the newsboy who sold the newspaper and asked, "Baby, is what you said true?" ”

The newsboy's little face was red from the cold, his eyes turned around and said, "I'll tell you if you buy a newspaper." ”

"You baby, do you want to buy a newspaper if you ask?" The old man clenched the three copper plates in his hand, which were the money he used to buy rice.

In Qingzhou, where newspapers are becoming more and more popular, the number of newsboys has gradually increased, and now the competition among newsboys is also fierce, after all, everyone wants to sell more newspapers.

Enduring the bitter cold, the newsboy naturally didn't want to bother to speak, he said: "Of course, this is the content of the newspaper, if I tell you everything, I can't sell this newspaper, boss, do you want it?" If you don't want me, I'll go. ”

"Wait, wait, I'll buy, how much." The old man said.

"Cents." The newsboy said.

"It's so expensive." The old man's calloused hand held the copper plate in his hand tighter.

"It's not expensive, it's only two taels of rice, the money of a steamed bun." The newsboy's eyes lit up, and then he looked at the old man and asked, "Uncle, I don't know if your accent is local." ”

The old man showed a vigilant look when he heard this, he was indeed not a native of Qingzhou, but a homeless person from Huazhou, because the land was occupied by Haoqiang, and Haoqiang wanted to rob his daughter back to be a concubine, so his son killed Haoqiang in anger for a while, and was wanted by the local government.

There was no way, he escaped from Huazhou, and when he was on the way, he heard that Qingzhou did not have Haoqiang, so he came here with his family.

Because many Haoqiang are connected with each other, he is afraid that if he escapes to a place, he will be pursued again.

So after weighing it, he gritted his teeth and walked four hundred miles with his family to Qingzhou, and at this time, the coiling on his body was also spent, and only three cents were left.

Now the whole family is waiting for the three cents to buy rice for dinner.

Holding the copper plate tightly, the old man hesitated, suddenly grabbed the newspaper in the newsboy's hand, and ran away.

The newsboy was only nine years old, and the old man's action frightened him, and when he came back to his senses, the newsboy suddenly screamed, "Catch him, someone is robbing my newspaper, catch the old man." ”

The newsboys who can sell newspapers on the streets of Qingzhou are a little clever, how can they be willing to suffer losses at this time and chase after them.

Many passers-by looked over at this time, and after learning that the newsboy was robbed, some Qingzhou people immediately chased after him.

The old man ran desperately with the newspaper, his son had been a scholar in a wealthy family, and he could read the newspaper when he took it back.

Now that they have arrived in Qingzhou, they have no work, where can they find this work for one or two silver a month.

As he turned his head and ran, suddenly, the old man felt something in front of him, and when he turned his head, he saw a horse getting closer and closer to him.

"Ahh With a scream, the old man fell down and collided with the horse in front of him.

Immediately, a young man in a padded jacket looked depressed, but it was Xiao Ming.

He was about to go to the military workshop to arrange the matter of sending artillery to Chang'an, but he didn't expect an old man to hit him straight at him.

Zhao Long Zhao Hu was startled, picked up his knife and dismounted and walked over.

The old man raised his head at this time, saw the bright saber, and immediately collapsed to the ground in fright, thinking that it was over.

The newsboy also chased after him at this time, and when he saw Xiao Ming, he immediately bowed down and said, "See Your Highness." ”

Xiao Ming frowned, saw that many people were chasing this old man, and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"Back to Your Highness, this old man robbed the grass people's newspapers." The newsboy's voice was childish.

Xiao Ming suddenly laughed, it was the first time he heard that there were still people robbing newspapers in Qingzhou City, and he said to Zhao Long: "Leave it to the government to deal with." ”

With that, he continued to the military workshop.

At this time, the old man suddenly kowtowed to him, and cried: "Lang Jun spares his life, I am also forced to do so, my family is about to starve to death, but I heard that the textile workshop recruits female workers, I think my granddaughter can also go, and I am reluctant to buy rice money in my hand to do so, Lang Jun spares his life." ”

Hearing this, Xiao Ming grabbed the reins and said strangely: "This year's harvest in Qingzhou, how can your family still have no rice to cook?" ”

Then Xiao Ming suddenly felt that this person's accent was not Qingzhou's, so he asked, "You are not from Qingzhou?" Where is the household registration? ”

The old man was afraid that others would mention this, and he trembled with fright.

At this time, Zhao Long said angrily: "It's not from the truth." ”

The old man had to say: "A certain is from Huazhou." ”

"Slippery people." Xiao Ming frowned, this slippery state is near modern Zhengzhou, and he asked, "Then why are you here?" ”

Zhao Long suddenly heard something at this time, and said: "Your Highness, a few days ago, the government government received an arrest warrant from Huazhou, and asked the Qingzhou government to help arrest a family of five, and the portrait was sent together. ”

As soon as these words came out, the old man's face was like ashes, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, "I didn't expect to escape to this Qingzhou, but I still can't escape arrest." ”

Xiao Ming ignored Zhao Long, but asked, "Why was your family of five arrested?" ”

The old man sighed bitterly, and now there was no escape, so he told him about his situation.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Long suddenly looked ashamed and said, "I see, this arrest warrant is ridiculous in this case." ”

Xiao Ming said at this time: "You go to the government office and Zhan Xingchang to verify this matter, if what this old man said is true, let him go, and if he is not guilty, he will be properly settled." ”

Zhao Long nodded.

Turning his head, Xiao Ming said to the old man: "If it is really as the old man said, this arrest warrant is a piece of waste paper in Qingzhou, and the old man doesn't have to worry." ”

When the old man heard this, he was immediately overjoyed, "Thank you Lang Jun, thank you Lang Jun." ”

The newsboy also showed a sympathetic look at this time, and said: "Uncle, why didn't you say it earlier, I would have given you this newspaper earlier, but you don't have to worry, our Qingzhou is a homeless people, and the homeless people who have lived in Qingzhou for two years can get Qingzhou household registration, and with household registration, you can get land." ”

The old man's face was incredulous, and he said to himself, "Is this true?"
