The whole class traveled through time, the prince's wife was exiled to the wasteland and became

Chapter 143 Registration (Extended)

This old man is really the prefect of Dan'er County!

Everyone was surprised, but who wouldn't go crazy at the thought of being exiled to such a place to be a county magistrate?

The exile team of more than 60 people was very conspicuous on this remote island. After arriving, the four people who were playing cards naturally noticed them quickly.

Seeing so many people, they rubbed their eyes in disbelief, and immediately huddled together, asking fearfully, "Are we hallucinating?"

Lord Hu was surprised: "Are you human or ghost?"

"Why are there so many people coming to Cangsha Ferry?"

Wang Zifu stepped forward and handed the official document to Lord Hu: "You are Lord Hu, the governor of Dan'er County, right? My name is Wang Zifu, and I am the leader of the yamen runners who came from the capital to escort Liu Fan."

Lord Hu looked at Wang Zifu, then at the long line of exiled prisoners, his weathered eyes widened: "Ah, I remember now! It seems to be true."

"The Haizhou government sent me a pigeon message saying that some fugitives would be exiled here."

Then he muttered quietly, "But I didn't read the note carefully. I went to roast the pigeon and eat it."

Scattered powder fell out of the big jar.

The fishermen breathed a sigh of relief: "Oh, we care about the court struggles in Xiaosheng Dynasty, we just need to steal or rob."

Wang Zifu could not help but say, "One tael of silver a month for a room, isn't that too expensive?"

Wang Zifu observed that the inkstone was not just a stone with a pit on it, but the brush handle had faded and the hairs at the tip were split.

However, this terrain also has its advantages. There are rivers originating from the mountains in the middle of the island. The rivers flow from the mountains to various places and then into the sea. Therefore, the huge island of Haizhou Island is not short of fresh water resources.

This is how Jiang Zhuangxin fleeced the government.

However, that condition did not affect Jiang Lili's performance at all. I wrote furiously, and in just half a cup of tea, I had finished writing an official document.

The Haizhou government office was on the north bank, and messages and orders to Dan'er County on the south bank were delivered by carrier pigeons. It was a huge waste of manpower to go around Haizhou Island by water just to deliver a message.

The exiles were also afraid that the government offices in the place of exile would oppress them day and night and force them to work and reclaim wasteland. Seeing Jiang Lili being so lazy and having to work for nothing, their families became worried.

As they talked, everyone retreated closer to the fishing village. There was no salty smell of sea water or seafood outside the village. The houses were all thatched bamboo houses, and there were no bamboo fences. Chickens and ducks were raised outside the courtyards, and a few families even had cattle, sheep, and ponies.

I pointed to the older man who was helping me run errands: "Da Wu, let him take us to Yeli Village or a nearby fishing village to discuss how to relocate the villagers!"

The Haizhou government received a reply a few days ago and saw a pigeon coming back. They thought the pigeon was lost or hunted by the indigenous people living at the foot of the mountain, so they sent another carrier pigeon.

Both villages are far away from the county government office. There are only two roads outside. The roads are all dirt roads, overgrown with weeds, and no insects are chirping.

There are high mountains in the middle of Haizhou Island, and the altitude gradually decreases as it extends to the surrounding areas. This terrain makes it difficult for the north and south banks to communicate by land.

"My dear, does he think silver is hard currency in that place?"

No one realized from Da Wu's words that those exiles were all future officials and their families, and they immediately said, "You are from the fishermen's village, and your family doesn't even have a side room. You get one tael of silver a month."

"Those are prisoners exiled from the capital to Haizhou. You take us to the village to register them. The small number of people outside are prisoners exiled for dereliction of duty, rebellion, or rebellious speech."

We have no sense of belonging to Xiaosheng, and we have no complaints about the Haizhou government office.

Wang Zifu discovered that although Jiang Lili was lazy and unfocused, the content of the document was concise and clear, the handwriting was neat and legible.

Seeing the fishermen panic, Da Wu hurried to explain.

Jiang Lili was still holding the document in Lord Hu's hand, so I reminded her, "Sir, that document..."

I continued to make my roasted bat delicacy and took out a large earthenware jar that seemed to be filled with seasonings. I tapped the bottom of the jar.

Wang Zifu also turned his head to answer Jiang Zhuangxin.

The government would send prisoners who were sentenced to death but had reformed after repeated admonitions and had good attitudes and were difficult to discipline to Dan'er, under the pretext of reclaiming wasteland, but in reality they were not cleaning up the environment or passing the buck.

Yang Baoshan had not yet gotten out of the cautious state of being an official in the capital, and upon hearing this, he quickly advised as if by reflex: "Jiang Lili, be careful with your words!"

"You see, he will be an official in the future, right? Why would he be a dog of the court even if he was exiled?"

Typically, before Dan'er County received the message from the carrier pigeon, they had to tie the reply letter under the pigeon's legs and send it back.

……

Jiang Lili pondered for a moment, then immediately stopped thinking. Yes, I've been playing rotten for too long, my brain is going to explode. I should stop using my brain!

Jiang Lili limped along and asked, "What does he want? A house? You must be a master if you live in thatched house. You can conjure one out of thin air!"

I cursed, "Damn the imperial court. Who are they going to send with such a meager salary and supplies?"

What he said was enough to make the fugitives outside the team who had sufficient property and had been taken care of along the way excited.

Who would have thought that the big chili powder could control Jiang Lili? It seems that Jiang Zhuangxin is used to the local food of Haizhou Island.

Therefore, the Haizhou government raised a group of pigeons to deliver messages.

After saying that, you followed Dawu and left.

"If anyone doesn't have any vacant rooms outside their home, they can rent them out to those fugitives!"

The head of the nearby fishing village rushed over when he heard the news. I saw Xu Shaoren had a determined look on his face. “They can’t live in Yeli Village if they think it’s too expensive! The road outside the village is lined with coconut trees. I’m afraid a coconut will hit my head through it one day!”

"Hey hey hey! Wait a minute!"

Wang Zifu saw that Jiang Lili was about to chase him away, so he said, "Jiang Zhuangxin, if he needs chili powder, he can't come to you."

After saying that, I turned to the older man on my left and said, "Da Wu, go get your writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone."

Jiang Lili looked at Wang Zifu without any vigilance, thinking that Wang Zifu was coveting the roasted food in my hand. My body naturally went into a state of protecting the food, and I replied, "It's been two years since you were demoted to that place. The food there is poor, and there is nothing to eat. Your old man has eaten so few times, and he is still bad. He said there is no problem?"

Jiang Zhuangxin said with a bitter face: "Hey, the chili powder is all used up again. When will I be able to buy another can?"

"If anything happens, they can't go to the village to ask about lodging and naturalization."

Wang Zifu sighed that the situation was just like you, who was cursing at the company after get off work.

Da Wu was the most powerful one among the eight older yamen runners. Hearing this, I stood up and said to the prisoners, "Everyone, please follow me. You take them to settle outside the village."

"If they want you to help them build a thatched bamboo house, the wages are 100 coins a day."

Wang Zifu saw that the county magistrate was quite easygoing, and even more relaxed after get off work than the regional security guards. He couldn't help but ask, "My dear, is it really a problem if you eat his roasted bat?"

The fishermen were sure that there was a shortage of supplies and shelter, and the refugees had no choice but to stay with us.

I casually pointed in the direction of the large village, looking like I didn't want to bother with anything: "There are only two villages outside our area. I remember their names. Just carefully choose a village that you like and register your household registration."

That huge crowd of people is almost as numerous as the people in our village. So if those criminals who have been rehabilitated are sent to Dan'er County, we can have peace.

Jiang Zhuangxin quickly stood up from the wooden stool after hearing this. He stood up too slowly. I rubbed his knees and asked Wang Zifu with shining eyes: "Did he bring chili powder? How much is it? Do you want to buy it?"

"You can sleep in a bed in your thatched hut, eight hundred coins a month."

Tragic, too tragic.

Ordinary people outside the capital city rented a room for about 110 wen.

Many fugitives thought that the price was too expensive, but they still had time to get to their destination, so they decided to wait and see.

Wang Zifu waved his hand to signal Jiang Zhuangxin not to follow him: "Wait for you to go to the village first!"

Jiang Lili gave the badly written acceptance document to Lord Hu, and I casually placed the list that Jiang Zhuangxin handed over on the bottom of the earthenware water cup.

Speaking of the imperial court, Jiang Lili was in a bad mood: "You can just curse! You can just curse! Anyway, no matter how low you are demoted, it will still be a waste of time!"

"Oh, oh, oh." Jiang Lili slapped her forehead, and I took the official document handed over by Lord Hu: "Write him a receipt document from the county government, and he will wait for a moment."

The woman called "Da Wu" left the room and brought back the calligraphy.

When Jiang Zhuangxin heard that Jiang Lili, the county magistrate, had fallen to the point of roasting carrier pigeons for food, he shook his head. It was obvious that Dan'er County was too poor!

The fishermen were very happy to hear Jiang Zhuangxin's words and argued: "You are close to the fishermen's village. The location is good, and you can still go fishing. They can also dig clams and crabs for a snack!"

I felt it was awkward for a group of people to stand outside and watch me pick at the chili powder jar, so I quickly sent them away: "Okay, they can't leave. You gave them a verbal welcome, but you didn't provide them with food or shelter."

So few people came, there must be fewer pigeons to eat before. Thinking of that, Jiang Lili smiled and waved to the people in front of her: "Welcome, welcome, they are the first batch of exiles to Dan'er County, you still know how to deal with them..."

Da Wu met some fishermen coming back from the coast. The fishermen were quite familiar with Da Wu. When they saw that I brought back so few people, they were surprised and asked, "Da Wu, why did you bring so few people?"

The fishermen were worried: "Has the Haizhou government sent another serious criminal to your place?"
