Chapter 23: Conditions for entering the city
Chapter 23 Conditions for entering the city
There are also many people outside the city gate of Xuanhe Mansion, but unlike the previous Qing'an Mansion, the condition of the people outside the city gate is much better.
And there are two shacks not far away, the servants of the big families in the city are cooking porridge.
In order to not be too maverick, Gu Yundong placed the Yang family not far away, and took two bowls to ask for two bowls of porridge, by the way to inquire about the situation here.
An aunt told her, "It's not easy if you want to enter the city. I heard that the prefect is worried that too many refugees entering the city will cause chaos, so you must have conditions to enter the city."
"What conditions?"
A girl about her age next to her looked her up and down for a while, and sneered, "It's useless to say it, and it's definitely not enough to see you like this."
Gu Yundong ignored her and asked the aunt, "Tell me."
"It is said that when entering the city, not only a household registration certificate is required, but each person has to pay five taels of silver."
"Five taels?" Come on, grab money.
Five taels per person, four of them, can’t they ask for twenty taels?
There is a household registration certificate. His father Gu Dajiang asked them to carry it on their own.
The girl next to her immediately laughed when she saw her surprised appearance, "It's useless to tell you, so ask. You're not as good as me. It's good to have five copper coins on your body, so be honest. Find a place outside here and wait for a good-hearted person to give you some food, what are you doing?"
Gu Yundong turned his head sharply to look at her, "What's wrong with you, no one cares about you and you keep looking for a sense of existence, I know you, am I familiar with you?"
"you……"
Gu Yundong turned around and left, the man was half dead, "What are you arrogant for? You wait for me, if you can't enter the city, why not stay here for the night."
Gu Yundong had already walked over to the Yang family and handed over the porridge in his hand, "Drink this first, and we'll go into the city later."
The four obediently drank two bowls of porridge, and the porridge cook over there had already packed up and entered the city.
Waiting for the city gate to quiet down a little, she got up, pulled the ground platoon and took the three to the city gate.
Many soldiers stood guard at the gate of the city. They were afraid of trouble. These people all had a chilling look on their faces, and the swords in their hands were cold and cold.
Gu Yundong had been observing just now, and found that the young soldier on the left had a good attitude. When the people who made porridge entered the city, he reached out to help.
She walked directly to him and handed over the household registration certificate in her hand.
The movement on her side quickly attracted other refugees who were still at the gate of the city, especially the girl who had been sneering at her before, and sneered when she saw it.
The soldier also looked at Gu Yundong in surprise, looked at her clothes and face, and looked at her household registration certificate, and then said, "Do you know the rules for entering the city?"
"One person and five taels, right?"
The soldier nodded, "There are four of you, twenty-two in total."
"I have it." Gu Yundong wanted to thank Qian San and gave her twenty taels of silver 'kindly'.
In addition to the 5 taels of silver she had collected earlier, she should be able to hold on for a few days after entering the city, until she finds a way to make money.
Watching Gu Yundong pull out twenty taels of silver from his body, the soldier looked at her in surprise.
The girl behind has an incredible look on her face. Isn't she a poor ghost? For, why is there so much money?
