Dad, we are so stable, should we do something?

Chapter 198 Back home

(Half of the content in the previous chapter was filled in)

Tian Yuheng got angry as soon as he heard this. It was not for any other reason but because they were kind enough to lead the other party, but now they were even verbally blackmailing them into taking these people with them.

Seeing that Tian Yuheng looked annoyed, Zhao Hao knew that he might have said something unpleasant and made the other party unhappy, so he hurriedly added.

"Second Master Tian, ​​I don't mean anything else, but we have a mission to accomplish, and if we let these people follow us, it would be more likely for them to be in danger of their lives. You also know what happened to our general before, and we haven't dealt with that group of people yet, and now we have to take these people with us.

Think about it, isn't this harming them?

Our general really thinks that you are good people and capable, and you are also going north. Yingzhou Prefecture is also short of people now. Why not take these people with you directly? This will also be a great achievement of your father, right?

Besides, this place is close to Yingzhou Prefecture, so even if we bring these people with us, it will only take a few days to arrive.

How about you take these people with you for the sake of Magistrate Tian and for our sake?"

Zhao Hao calmed down his temper, appealed to their wishes with emotion and reason, hoping that Tian Yuheng would agree to them.

Seeing that the other party was genuinely concerned about the people, and thinking that they were indeed capable of taking these people with them, Tian Yuheng agreed immediately.

After the matter was settled, the two parties parted ways. Tian Yuheng and his men also needed to leave immediately. Before leaving, Zhao Hao informed them of the current situation, so they chose a longer route and took the people to Yingzhou Prefecture.

Thanks to the reminders from Zhao Hao and others, Tian Yuheng and his companions did not encounter any problems along the way.

They set out on the journey early in the morning, and at noon, Tian Yuheng asked everyone to take a rest and eat something before continuing on their journey. Fortunately, they had bought a lot of food on this trip, so they didn't have to look for a special place to buy more.

"Second brother, are we really going to have a war?" Tian Xing'er asked after eating the porridge and sitting together with others.

"Well, more and more people are traveling to Yingzhou. I'm afraid the people nearby have heard about it."

Tian Xing'er was a little bit unbelievable. How could a war break out out of nowhere? Apart from the previous assassination of Li Da, everything was peaceful, but a war broke out overnight, and the focus was actually an internal struggle.

"How are my elder brother and younger brothers? Is there any news?" Tian Xing'er was a little worried for a moment. If there was a real civil strife, would the family be separated?

"Brother was able to remind us before, I believe he must be more informed than us, he must have made plans long ago.

My fourth brother is under the care of my grandfather and his family, so he won't be in any danger. Don't worry too much, let's go back as soon as possible."

After hearing what Tian Yuheng said, Tian Xing'er felt relieved.

After everyone rested, they continued on their way. The autumn harvest had already begun, and unexpectedly, there were more and more people on the road. I thought some people might have finished harvesting the crops and left home early.

Finally they arrived at Yingzhou Prefecture. This time, Tian Xing'er and the others were really surprised. There was a queue at the city gate, which usually never had any people waiting in line. Today, with the addition of Tian Xing'er and his group of several hundred people, the line suddenly became even longer.

"Where are you all from, sir? Why are there so many of you?" an old man who was standing side by side with Tian Xing'er and the others asked curiously.

"We are from Lian County. Old man, where are you from? Why are there so many people queuing today? I remember that there didn't seem to be many people here in Yingzhou Prefecture before." Tian Yuheng was sitting in the carriage at this time, and he started chatting with the old man. Tian Xing'er also came out to listen.

“We live next to Lian County. I have relatives there. They say Lian County is in chaos, with people burning, killing and looting everywhere. Our town is close to Lian County, so some people from Lian County have fled to our area.

Later we heard that a lot of soldiers and bandits had arrived. There were so many people that everyone got scared and fled.

Let me tell you, if the crops in my fields had not been harvested and my son had not been afraid and insisted that I leave, I would not leave.

Hey, see? The one pulling the cart behind me is my son. We finally have a good harvest this year, but he is leaving. I don’t know if it’s true or not. I think most people in our village haven’t moved.

Hey, I heard that Yingzhou Prefecture is very poor. I don’t know what to do in the future and whether I can survive here.

Tian Yuheng didn't expect the old man to be so talkative. Before he asked anything, the other party told him everything all at once.

"Old man, Yingzhou Prefecture was indeed very poor before, but I heard that a new prefect was replaced a few years ago, and he has managed Yingzhou Prefecture in an orderly manner. I heard that when he was the magistrate of a county in Yingzhou Prefecture, he made great achievements and managed that poor county better than the prefectural capital.

They also helped to repair the houses of the common people. Oh, and by the way, I heard that they also set up some factories and farms, hired a lot of people, and paid them very high wages.

I heard that it is not lower than some wealthy counties.”

After hearing what Tian Yuheng said, the old man became interested and asked, "Young Master, how do you know this? Is it reliable? Did they say this to deliberately trick us into coming?"

"Uncle, how could my second brother lie? We moved to Yingzhou Prefecture a while ago, and my relatives found jobs there right after we arrived. I heard that the county magistrate later issued a new decree, saying that new settlers would be given brick houses, but the quantity was limited.

When I heard about it, I thought it was such a pity. We came too early and bought our own houses, so we didn’t get this free house.

"What? There really is a free house to live in? You little girl, don't try to lie to an old man like me, okay?" The old man became even more excited when he heard it.

"That's natural, but I don't know if it still exists now.

But don't worry, old man. Yingzhou Prefecture has few people and a lot of land. Even if you don't have a house, you must have land. As long as you open up the land yourself, the county magistrate will exempt you from taxes for three years. He will also provide assistance to those in need and send you food at the beginning. In short, there are many benefits to settling in Yingzhou Prefecture."

Tian Xinger's words made the old man very excited. He didn't expect that there would be such a good master in this poor place. However, they didn't know whether they could get the house.

If they had known such a good thing would happen earlier, they should have moved in earlier. That is a brick house. Their own home has always been an adobe house, which is very dilapidated and cold in winter and hot in summer.

"Dad, come on, it's our turn now, why aren't you moving?" The old man was still in a daze, his son was calling him from behind.

"Hey, I know."

"Young master, we are the first in line. Thank you for telling me. I will leave first." The people in the line behind him were still urging him. The old man did not dare to stay any longer. He quickly stepped forward, verified their identities, and they entered the city.

Tian Xing'er's team seemed to be a little slow. The people in front of them didn't move for some reason. After waiting for a long time, the team started moving again.

Tian Xing'er and the others had already accomplished their mission by bringing the common people here, but Tian Yuheng asked Tian Zhenwei and others to help these common people deal with things like finding houses and settling down, thinking that since they were helping, they should be good people to the end, and besides, his father would be the parent official of these people in the future.

"I'm finally back." After entering the city, Tian Xing'er got off the carriage happily.
