Chapter 242
Chapter 242
To put it bluntly, only about 30% of the more than 100 lost children and teenagers rescued this time are local children from Guobei County and nearby villages.
In the past two days, these thirty or so people have been ordered by Fu Tianqiu to serve many officials, and most of them have been picked up one after another.
As for the remaining seventy or eighty people...... It wasn't Guo Bei's local at all! Instead, the people of the Cihang Society brought it all the way from the south as cargo!
As for the purpose, ......
When Su Mu interrogated the leaders of the Cihang Society, he didn't get an accurate answer, they didn't lie, but they really didn't know the key.
Anyway, I only heard that it was the big people in the northern guild who wanted these young children and teenagers to be useful, and every six months, the Cihang Associations in various states would take turns to gather these young children and quietly transport them
to the north! In other words, these people were all outsiders who had been escorted over long distances, and if they wanted to return home, they had to find a way to send them back again!
But these young children, big and small, ...... It is really unrealistic to want them to go back by themselves!
Unless the government comes forward and is escorted by the government!
Fu Tianqiu specially wrote several letters for this purpose, and asked people to notify the yamen of various counties and counties going south along the road.
However, the few nearby replies were prevaricated, saying that the county government was too manpower to pick it up, so Guo Bei County sent someone to escort it, or just drove people away, and let them ask for more blessings ......
Well......
These dumb officials and mediocre officials are really good at grabbing their heads, and it is difficult to push the oil.
Fu Tianqiu was angry and helpless about this, but unfortunately his identity was only at the same level as these people, and he really had no right to force it, so in the end, after thinking about it, he had to divide some of the county officials, and then assigned this matter to Su Mu and Ye Qing.
There is no way, let Su Mu and Ye Qing dispatch, mainly for safety reasons.
Although there was no chaos in this era, for many years, the officials were not clear and the officials were corrupt, and it was inevitable that evil bandits were rampant everywhere in the green forest.
Therefore, it is completely common for those who cross the mountains and forests to run into raids and rob houses
! In this case, if there are not one or two hard stubbles with them, I am afraid that if those children do not wait to go home, they may be in a different place or forcibly adopted by bandits!
When encountering this situation, Su Mu did not shirk it, no matter how dirty it is between adults, it is a matter of children...... If you can do your part, you still have to do your part.
Even Ye Qing, who has always been unwilling to do things for the yamen, did not have the slightest objection or dissatisfaction this time, but rarely responded to this errand.
Of course, the children's original places of residence are also quite scattered, so it is naturally impossible for so many people to be responsible for all of them.
In fact, this escort was divided into several routes, and in addition to the official servants, Fu Tianqiu relied on his official status to promise some benefits, and entrusted them to some famous chamber of commerce caravans and even dart bureaus.
That is, the east side of the road, it was handed over to Su Mu and Ye Qing, and a few officials were driven, which was the most "thin" group of escorts.
Fortunately, where is the strength of Su Mu and Ye Qing, it is not weaker than those roads, plus the number of people they escorted along the way is not large, there are only seven or eight people in total, and most of them are already sensible half-sized children.
However, Rao was like this, but the officials who accompanied him were obviously a little reluctant to get involved in this operation, and in the end, Fu Tianqiu gave a death order, and these people had to give in.
Of course, the reason for the reluctance of these officials is ...... Su Mu can probably guess one or two
! In the final analysis, it is still related to Lanruo Temple!
