89, Chapter 89
In a blink of an eye, the fifteen-day deadline given by the court came, and the leaders of the two tribes gathered with 18,000 people in the Yongzhou military camp, waiting for the arrangement of the Qi Kingdom court.
Qin Fang was assigned 3,000 people, and Yunxiang County had eight towns, with more than a dozen villages in the big town and seven or eight villages in the small town, so this place was indeed large enough to accommodate 3,000 people.
Qin Fang looked at a large group of people and said loudly: "Everyone gather."
Yang Baifu and Lu Baifu led 100 soldiers respectively, and managed the 1,500 barbarians assigned to them: "Everyone gather."
The three thousand barbarians stood up.
Qin Fang watched them stand up, and then said: "From today on, you are all citizens of Qi. It takes half a month to walk from Yongzhou to Renzhou. During this half month, if you have any questions, you can find Captain Yang and Captain Lu. At the same time, those of you who have served in the army, come out."
The barbarians did not understand what Qin Fang meant, but they stood up anyway.
Among the three thousand people, three hundred were soldiers who had been in the barbarian camp.
Qin Fang looked at the number of people and said, "You are divided into two teams, one team is under the management of Captain Yang, and the other team is under the management of Captain Lu. Along the way, you are like other soldiers, responsible for protecting others. Do you hear me?"
"I heard it."
Qin Fang nodded with satisfaction. He looked at Captain Yang and Captain Lu and said, "I will give you a quarter of an hour to arrange these 150 soldiers. After a quarter of an hour, we will set off."
Captain Yang and Captain Lu: "Yes."
Then, the two discussed the team arrangement. The team arrangement was also very simple. Ordinary people walked in the middle, and the soldiers walked on both sides and behind for protection.
After a quarter of an hour, everyone gathered together and prepared to set off.
The team of more than 3,000 people was relatively neat. They set out from the Yongzhou military camp and arrived at the door of the family room in the town. There were many carriages and donkey carts parked at the door of the family room, three of which belonged to the Qin family, one belonged to Captain Yang, and one belonged to Captain Lu. The two families also had a lot of things to pack, and the men of the two families were promoted, so they gritted their teeth and bought a donkey cart each.
The Qin family had quite a lot of things, including chickens, ducks, and a few acres of harvested grain, which were sweet potatoes and potatoes planted in the second half of last year. In addition, there were furniture, even the family of the private guards, Captain Yang's family and Captain Lu's family, and Niu Da's family. Except for Niu Da's two sons who stayed to look after the manor, Niu Da was going to Yunxiang County to buy land.
In addition, Yang Haiyan dismantled all the furniture such as the bed board and took them away, otherwise they would have to order them again in the new place, which was too troublesome. Fortunately, there was enough manpower to go to Yunxiang County this time.
Qin Fang looked at the female family members, and the three families together were not small.
Yang Haiyan watched Qin Fang riding over until he came in front of her, she couldn't help but say: "There are so many people."
Qin Fang: "Yes, there are a lot of people, but because we have so many people, this journey must be safe." Not to mention taking the official road, even if they take the small road, the bandits are afraid of being robbed by these three thousand people. Even if nine out of ten are ordinary people, the number of ordinary people is still very objective. "Are you all ready?"
Yang Haiyan nodded: "Okay, are you ready to go?"
Qin Fang said: "Ready to go, do you have enough things along the way? We travel during the day and rest at night."
Yang Haiyan said: "We have a lot of food. It takes half a month to travel from here to Yunxiang County. These three thousand people can't stop in other counties or villages to rest, so I think our people can prepare food for everyone every night, and pay us according to the usual price. Do you think it's okay?"
Qin Fang listened and said, of course it's okay. It's better to have hot food than dry food. He said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask everyone."
Qin Fang walked to the side of the team and said to the more than 3,000 people, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."
The more than 3,000 people who were chatting immediately quieted down and looked at Qin Fang.
Qin Fang said, "The thing is, it takes us half a month to go to Yunxiang County where we are resettled. This way we take the nearest road. We travel during the day and rest at night. So those who have the conditions can cook when they rest, and those who don't need to prepare dry food.
However, considering the limited conditions, my wife has thought of a way for everyone. She brought enough food. Every night when we stopped to rest, she would bring people to cook food, and everyone could buy it at the usual price. Don't worry, I don't make money by buying this food, so don't worry about spending a lot of money along the way."
After hearing Qin Fang's words, more than two-thirds of the people were happy. If it was at the usual price, there was something hot to eat, who would want to eat dry food?
Qin Fang: "My wife just suggested a method to everyone. It's up to everyone whether they are willing to buy it or not. Okay, we are ready to set off. I will take the lead, Kunshi, you and your family will follow behind, and the resettled people will be at the end. Everyone, get ready, set off."
"Get ready, set off."
Qin Fang set off with the team. The family housing was getting farther and farther away from them. Before noon, they passed the county town. When they reached the outside of the city, Qin Fang stopped to let everyone rest and gave everyone two quarters of an hour to eat lunch.
Because we just set off today, the food we prepared is quite good, including steamed buns, steamed buns, etc. Even the two hundred soldiers were eating steamed buns, which they received in the dining room when they left in the morning.
Qin Fang came to the carriage: "Yanyan, what should we eat for lunch?"
Yang Haiyan got out of the carriage, and Grandma Lian, Qin Siya and Qin Shoucheng got out of the car. Then Grandma Lian brought a small table and a small stool and set them up beside the carriage: "Madam, that's it."
Yang Haiyan said: "You all sit down, we are eating cold noodles today, you can try it quickly."
Qin Fang: "Cold noodles? I haven't eaten them before."
Yang Haiyan explained: "I used to be at home, and Aunt Fan would prepare three meals a day. This time I went far away, so I was thinking hard about what to prepare." It can fill the stomach, not make you need to urinate easily, and it also tastes good. It's not broken. So cold noodles are most suitable. "But this noodle is not ready yet. We need to add pickled cabbage, tofu skin, and egg skin." Yang Haiyan added the ingredients separately, "Here, give it a try."
Qin Siya was the first to eat it. The cold noodles had a sour and spicy taste, which was indeed delicious. Moreover, the spicy and sour taste is not strong, so even people who don’t like spicy food can eat it.
Here, the masters, servants and private guards of the Qin family are all eating delicious cold noodles. The taste is very fragrant and strong, and the smell of kimchi is quite strong. Over there, everyone was eating all kinds of dry food and looking at Qin Fang.
Colonel Yang bit into the steamed bun prepared by Mrs. Yang. The steamed bun had dried radish in it, which was considered delicious. But... his nose was attracted to Qin Fang. He was curious: "General, what do they eat? It tastes very special."
Mrs. Yang didn't know what he was thinking. They had been married for several years and didn't know each other's habits. That would be a failure. "Anyway, I don't have much dry food prepared. How about eating with the general's family on the way? You have to buy it with money yourself, and it's the same with eating with the general's family. It's more convenient."
Colonel Yang smiled and said, "You are in charge of our family and we will listen to you."
In comparison, the Lu family is even simpler.
Mrs. Lu didn't know that Yang Haiyan could buy food. Now that she knew it, she directly told Captain Lu: "Master, I'm the only one who doesn't prepare food. Let's buy it with the general's family. I Cooking food can only fill your stomach, but it’s not as delicious as buying it.”
Lieutenant Lu said, "It's up to you. But I've been cooking like this for almost ten years, so I'm used to it."
This makes Mrs. Lu very comfortable. She knows that she is not good at cooking, but she is unhappy when a man dislikes her.
Mrs. Lu finished her meal in two bites and then got up: "I'll go talk to Mrs. Qin."
Lieutenant Lu: "Okay."
Mrs. Lu came to the Qin family.
There are a lot of people here in the Qin family. The Qin family has a mouth, plus the servants, the Niu family, and the private guard family, so there are many people. All they ate were cold noodles, which they bought from Yang Haiyan, but as Yang Haiyan said, they were all at cost price and made no money.
Here, everyone gathers together to eat, and it’s lively.
Mrs. Lu looked at them and thought it was quite lively. "Mrs. Qin."
Yang Haiyan didn't have a big appetite and only had half a bowl, so she ate quickly. When Mrs. Lu came over, she stood up and said, "Sister-in-law Lu is here."
Mrs. Lu smiled and went over, very happy and enthusiastic. Qin Fang promoted her husband. She was grateful and moved, so she respected Yang Haiyan even more. "Mrs. Qin, I'm here to say hello. We want to buy your food next, is that okay?" Yang Haiyan is currently a fifth-grade pleasant person, so the title of Mrs. is private. On big occasions, Mrs. Lu would call him pleasant.
Yang Haiyan said to Aunt Fan: "Aunt Fan, write down Sister-in-law Lu's family. There are four people in total."
Aunt Fan: "Hey, I know this."
Sister-in-law Lu said: "Yes, yes, it's a mouthful, but the men in my family have a big appetite, so I need a little more."
Aunt Fan said: "Don't worry, Mrs. Lu, I'm ready."
Sister-in-law Lu asked curiously: "Aunt Fan, what should we prepare for tonight?"
Aunt Fan gave it a try and kept it secret: "You will know in the evening."
Sister-in-law Lu didn’t bother to get to the bottom of it: “Then I’ll go over there. If you need help tonight, Aunt Fan will call me.” Sister-in-law Lu didn’t look down on Aunt Fan at all because she was a servant. After all, this was People around Yang Haiyan.
Aunt Fan said: "Hey."
The two quarters of an hour of eating passed quickly. After the meal, Qin Fang said: "Everyone form a team, let's continue on our way."
Captain Yang and Lieutenant Lu were already forming their team. Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, they said, "Everyone is ready to go. Form your team and set off."
