Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Chapter 175 Arrival at Yanguan

The north wind howled, and the sound of horse hooves broke the tranquility of Yanguan Pass.

"The Crown Prince is five miles away."

"The Crown Prince is five miles away."

The news spread like wildfire in Yanguan, and the people in the refugee camp flocked to the city gate, eagerly waiting.

Not long after, a long team slowly came into everyone's sight.

The front is the Jinwu Vanguard,

Their armor was crisscrossed with countless deep and shallow grooves, and dried dark red blood solidified on the surface of the armor, adding a sense of solemnity and murderousness.

The people behind him were in tattered clothes, supporting each other, and there were wounded among them. The young and strong were carrying stretchers, and those lying on them were all seriously injured.

Everyone's face was covered with frost, but their eyes were full of excitement. Half a month had passed since the battle, and they were finally arriving at Yanguan.

The guard at Yanmen Pass looked at the approaching troops with an excited expression.

He is in Yanguan, but his heart is in the northwest.

The city was broken, the people were captured, their hearts were broken, they wanted to fly to the front line,

Qiushui County was recaptured, the people were rescued, and they danced like children.

In order to protect the evacuation of the people, the Crown Prince led the Jinwu Guards to the rear. This magnanimity and courage made people admire and worry.

The great victory in Wuming Village and the construction of Jingguan were personally carried out by the Marquis of Zhenbei - in Zhenbei Village, they drank proudly and made great achievements. That was the unique romance of soldiers.

The battle report is cold text, but to them, it is a concern.

As the troops approached, the people knelt on the ground.

"Live a thousand years, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Live a thousand years, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

They were all civilians who had fled along the way. The Crown Prince protected them and gave them food. They all remembered it.

"All!"

"salute!"

The garrison commander of Yanguan placed his right fist on his chest. This was the highest military strength of Daxia. The soldiers moved in unison and saluted.

"Live a thousand years, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"Live a thousand years, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

The sound lingered over Yanguan for a long time.

The wounded and the common people were handed over to the local officials for resettlement. Dabao was placed in a large courtyard. After the officials visited him, he left on his own initiative.

Dabao has been delayed for too long to save the people and has to leave for Beijing tomorrow morning. They don't want to disturb him so as not to affect his rest.

Arriving at Yanguan meant parting ways. There must be disagreements among the three villages on whether to follow them to the capital.

"The imperial court will definitely recover the northwest. I can help by staying here. Once the northwest is recovered, we can return home."

"My old bones don't want to move."

"What can we do in the capital? Are we going to be kept by others? I will stay here too."

Many villagers in Yingxiong Village are disabled. If they all stay and go to the capital, do they have to rely on Dabao and Xiao Yunxi to support them?

We are not related at all, and being able to protect them all the way to Yanguan is already a great favor. We should not be greedy and become more demanding.

"Huzi, you go to the capital and work like a slave to repay your aunt. I will stay here to take care of your father and your brothers."

"mother....."

"I want to go to the capital and have a look. I will have no regrets in my life."

"How will you support yourself in the capital?"

"I heard from those officials that the workshops in the capital are hiring people. The wages are not low, and they also provide housing for them."

Outside the south gate of Yanguan, in the refugee camp,

“Recruitment, recruitment!”

"The Beijing Golden Cake Workshop is looking for long-term workers. The monthly salary is 700 wen, and the settling-in allowance is 5 taels of silver."

The newly arrived people were immediately attracted by the shouting, and suspicion flashed in their eyes. Could it be a scam? The wages are so high, and there is also resettlement allowance?

"Not only will we have the money to settle down, but we'll also have food and drink all the way to the capital, accommodation, and household registration arranged."

The newly arrived people were stunned. Is there such a good thing?"

The official who brought them here was very enthusiastic.

"The Ministry of Revenue has an official document posted at the door. Those who can read can go and take a look. Before you came, many people had already gone to the capital. They were escorted on the way, so it was very safe..."

The official suddenly lowered his voice and whispered:

"Let me tell you, these workshops were arranged by the Crown Prince for the benefit of the people. There's no fakery. The Crown Prince truly loves the people like his own children."

If you mention other people, the people may not believe it and think there is a conspiracy. But the title of Crown Prince is definitely effective.

After settling in, they immediately rushed to the recruitment point in groups. When Xiao Yunxi arrived, she saw this lively scene.

Fuqi Pavilion Recruitment Office?

Beijing Soap Shop Recruitment Office?

Beijing Golden Cake Workshop Recruitment Office

My mind is full of question marks. Could it be that the formula has been leaked?

"They are all your workshops. I used the money from selling colored glass to buy you a few farms in the capital. I built your workshops there and have completed all the formalities."

Xiao Yunxi, who has been single since birth, was deeply moved. But then again, was this guy doing this for her or for Dabao?

Maybe she is just a tool, why should she be moved?

The recruitment work of the workshop went smoothly.

Each person gets 5 taels of silver as settling-in allowance, 700 coins per month as salary, and food and accommodation included. Who can refuse such a good thing?

Currently, we are recruiting more than 100,000 people, equivalent to 100,000 households. The number of people who really need to be resettled is at least 130,000.

Some of them were already on the way, and their food and drinks had already been arranged, so Xiao Yunxi didn't need to worry about it.

"How much did Liuli sell for?"

"About 150 taels."

"Is it enough?"

The cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation for 13 people during the migration is a terrifying number. Even the imperial court could not afford the expenses of buying farms, building workshops and dormitories.

Otherwise they would not agree to the merchant's request.

"It should be enough to buy a farm, build a workshop and a place to live."

"Hire more people, the more the better. If you don't have enough money, I have it here."

She robbed the Northern Barbarians' military camp and raided the warehouses in Qiushui County. She had a lot of money in her hands, not including the food, livestock, and warhorse equipment in the space.

These people are the support of Dabao, so the more the better. If the money is not enough, there are others who will sponsor him, such as King Qing.

There are just too many people, and I don’t know if the emperor will become desperate and do something desperate?

The emperor really wanted to jump over the wall,

He had originally agreed to allow the refugees to relocate, and had specifically asked the Ministry of Households to cooperate in providing settlements for the refugees recruited by the workshops, and officials along the way had to cooperate.

They all wanted to take advantage, who could have thought that so many people would come?

It's okay if there are too many people. The workshop belongs to Xiao Yunxi, who is Dabao's stepmother. The things Dabao did in the northwest have spread to the capital.

If he didn't know what Zhou Jin was up to, he would be a fool.

The court announcement has been issued, and it is impossible to go back on it. Besides, resettling refugees is a good thing, so we can't stop it by force, right?

Who will take care of the refugees after the group is disbanded?

He really couldn't figure out where Zhou Jin got so much money. Should he check it out?

"Old dog, what do you think I should do?"

In the imperial study, the emperor asked quietly,
