Chapter 51 Decided to continue southward(2/2)

Jiang Zhiyue asked again: "Then do you think it's better for us to stay here, or continue to go south?"

Ouyang Ming smiled, his face was obviously pockmarked by Jiang Zhiyue, but his eyes were shining brightly.

"Naturally, they will continue to move south. Although some people in the city have thought of ways to temporarily stabilize these refugees, it is not a long-term solution. The counterattack of the refugees will be even more severe. Even if they enter the city, they will not be much better, so it is still

Leave early."

Jiang Zhiyue nodded and replied, "I'll tell them when they come back."

As soon as she finished speaking, she asked in a low voice: "Did you remember something?"

Ouyang Ming lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and said half-truthfully: "I remembered part of it. It seems that I know a lot about the situation in Wu Dynasty."

All he remembered were things that appeared in intermittent dreams.

In fact, the lost memory has not been recovered yet.

"Then you remember who you are."

After waiting for a moment, Ouyang Ming's deep voice sounded: "Yeah."

Just when Jiang Zhiyue wanted to ask something more but didn't think about how to say it, Mr. Jiang, who had just gone to inquire about the news, came back with three other people.

After returning, everyone quickly surrounded the four of them, asking about the situation over there.

Mr. Jiang pressed his hand to signal everyone to stop.

The four of them talked about what they had just learned.

"I just found out that most of the people outside the city gate come from our prince's fiefdom."

"There are a lot of people outside the city gate. I took a quick look and saw that there were nearly a thousand people. The city couldn't accommodate that many people, so they all stayed outside."

Mrs. Zhang asked: "With so many people, we can't let anyone in. Then are they willing to wait outside?"

Jiang Yulai replied: "This city doesn't mean that everyone is not allowed to enter."

Seeing that everyone was looking over, Jiang Yulai continued: "You can go to the city if you want, but you need to pay ten taels of silver per person. After entering the city, you have to figure out how to settle down, or you will be spotted by a nobleman from the city.

Bring it in, you can get in that way."

"I heard from people outside the city that rich households from the city would come out to give porridge every morning, and they relied on that one meal of porridge every day to survive."

"But more and more people are gathering outside the city, and now the porridge has become clearly visible."

After they finished speaking, Mr. Wang Fugui spoke.

"Ten taels of silver per person! It doesn't matter if you enter the city government office, you need to spend money to find a place to live and buy property. Isn't this a bottomless pit?"

Everyone fell silent again. Normally, two or three taels of silver would be enough for a large family for a year, but now you need to pay ten taels of silver before entering the city gate!

Old Mrs. Jiang pulled Jiang Zhiyue aside and asked her in a low voice: "Good Zhiyue, how much money does our family have left, is it enough for us people to go to the city?"

Most of the money of the Jiang family now belongs to Jiang Zhiyue, and she is in charge of all the money coming in and out, so Mrs. Jiang asked this question.

Of course the money is enough, but Jiang Zhiyue has no intention of settling here.

She decided to take everyone further south!
