Chapter 33 Dongyuan City Sign-in
Chapter 33 Dongyuan City Sign-in
Guicheng County Magistrate Yu Yang also received the results of the investigation he paid for.
When he saw that Marquis Leshan had donated one million taels and 100,000 kilograms of grain to the court free of charge, he immediately ran towards Yu Qingshan.
One hundred thousand jin of grain, at that time, might not even be bought with five million taels of silver.
After all, food is in short supply now and there is no demand for it even though it is priced.
After listening to Yu Yang's report, the old man stood up silently and walked towards the inner room.
After a while, he took out a wooden box, which was locked with a small golden lock.
"Take this and give it to Marquis Leshan."
Yu Yang stared at the box for a moment before saying, "Master Qing, the Marquis of Leshan left Guicheng a long time ago. He left that same day."
The old man thought for a while and said, "Go back. If anyone asks you about the agreement, just say I have already presented it to the court."
Yu Yang hesitated for a long time before asking, "Master Qing, do you really want to give the agreement to Marquis Leshan?"
"This agreement..."
The old man interrupted him and said, "If I keep this agreement, it will only cause trouble. Marquis Leshan has connections and can deliver it directly to the emperor. It would be best to give it to him."
"Once the emperor gets the agreement, he will naturally give Guicheng some compensation."
If they don't give it, it's no big deal. The people in the mountain village have already integrated into the common people and are living a good life now. There's no need to make any more trouble.
As for the things committed by those who returned to the city, we should do what needs to be done. Once something is done, we have to bear the consequences.
Anyway, it won’t get so bad that it will be surrendered.
Yu Yang glanced at him, saluted and walked out.
The old man looked at his back and sighed, then continued to study the chess game on his table.

"Brother, I found some wild vegetables. We don't have to go hungry tonight." A skinny little girl looked up at the boy leaning against the door frame.
The boy touched her head, took a look at the so-called wild vegetable and said with a smile: "My dear little grass, you can't eat this, it's poisonous."
"Look at the weather. It might rain tomorrow. Stay home tomorrow and don't go out, okay?"
Xiaocao turned her head and looked up at the sky. Is it raining? If it rains, she won’t be able to go looking for wild vegetables.
But wild vegetables will only grow when it rains.
How to do it?
Seeing her struggling look, the young man smiled and said, "It's okay. Whether it rains or not, we just have to survive these few days."
Xiaocao didn't ask why, because whatever her brother said would come true.
"Zi Yu, your uncle Kuan found a wild vegetable den today and picked a lot of wild vegetables. You can take these and cook them for Xiaocao." A thin woman came in with a bunch of wild vegetables and said.
Avoiding the things hanging in the middle, he placed the wild vegetables on the table that had a missing leg.
"Aunt Guihua, thank you. I will return it to you after I collect the food tomorrow." Zi Yu said with a smile.
Aunt Guihua blinked and asked, "Get food?"
Where do they get their food?
"No need, just a bunch of wild vegetables." Aunt Guihua waved her hand and left.
Xiao Cao stared at the wild vegetables again and again, "Brother, can this wild vegetable be eaten?"
"Sure." Zi Yu walked forward, picked up the wild vegetables, and walked towards the backyard.
Yuanman, five miles away from here, was roasting a pheasant he had just shot.
"Ah, I miss my Yuanbao."
"Hey, Mr. System, next time you sign in, can you please be closer to Mingzhou City? I want to go back and see my baby."
[……] This host is getting more and more outrageous. It was fine if he just ordered dishes before, but now he even directly ordered the stove.
After eating the roast chicken, the twelve secret guards who had signed in at the Guicheng County Government Office were called out.
Similarly, these twelve secret guards also have a leader, who is the most powerful martial artist among them.
"There are exactly twelve of you, so let's name them according to the twelve months."
"Stand in order of age."
In a flash, the twelve people stood up.
The leader stood in the first position without moving.
Yuan Man stood in front of the leader, tapping his head, and began to name them with the elegant names of the twelve months.
"You are the leader of the twelve of them. You are the eldest and your name is Yuanyue, which means the first month."
"Your name is Huayue, which means February." This is a girl.
"The month of Chen is March."
"Huai Yue is April."
"The stars and the moon represent May."
"The lotus month is June."
"Frost Moon is July."
"You month is August."
"Xuan Yue means September."
"The Yang month is October."
"Zi month is the eleventh month."
"Ice Moon, for December."
"You guys just follow me for now. When we get back, I'll make other arrangements for you."
The twelve secret guards knelt on one knee together, "Yes, thank you for the name, Master."
Yuan Man raised his hand and asked them to stand up, then called Yuan Yi and the others out to get to know each other.
In fact, they had known each other for a long time, but they naturally had to obey their master's request.
After a night's rest, Yuanman continued his journey to Dongyuan City.
When she saw the city wall of Dongyuan City, she was stunned.
Not only was it dilapidated, it didn't even have a gate. All kinds of weeds grew at the entrance of the city, as if no one had been there for a long time.
In Rongcheng, any new grass that grew on the ground would be pulled out, but here, it all grew wildly.
Yuan Man dismounted and led the horse into the city.
The cracks between the stones on the streets were full of grass, and the city felt like a deserted one.
[Ding, you can sign in at Dongyuan City, do you want to sign in? ]
"Sign in."
[Ding, congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. The sign-in reward is 5 million taels of silver, a mansion in the east of Dongyuan City, 100,000 catties of grain, 100,000 catties of wheat seeds, a farm in the suburbs, and 1,000 acres of fertile land. The relevant items have been placed in the backpack, please check them.]
"hiss……"
Five million taels of silver!
He said that the mansion, like the ones in Xiaocheng and Mingzhoucheng, was a small courtyard, so how big should this mansion be?
Yuanman took it out and looked at it, secretly sighing that it was indeed extraordinary.
It covers an area of 350 acres, which is larger than Yueling Mountain and the Hanging Palace.
In addition, there are 100,000 kilograms of wheat seeds, which looks scary.
"Tattoo..."
The sound of horse hooves was particularly loud in the empty streets, and Yuanman could even hear the echo.
Looking at some of the shops on both sides of the street, their doors and windows are very dilapidated, and you can even see the cobwebs inside from the outside.
"Wow... crackle"
The sudden heavy rain forced Yuanman to rush into a nearby shop.
Looking at the rain pouring down from the sky, Yuanman knew that it would not stop for a while.
After looking around the shop, he looked at the account book on the counter and couldn't help but flip through it.
Not to mention, business was pretty good before the disaster.
Yuan Yi cleaned a stool and placed it in front of her, and Yuan Man nodded and sat down.
It took a whole morning to wait for the rain to stop.
However, the air after the rain is very pleasant.
Yuanman walked out of the shop and went straight to the county government office.
Just as she thought, the county government office was empty.
I walked all the way from the north to the south of the city and didn't meet anyone.
The entire Dongyuan City was like a deserted city.
Thinking of the east city mansion that he had obtained by signing in, he headed to the east city.
