Chapter 267

"Qingzhou daily, Qingzhou daily, Qingzhou textile workshop recruit female workers, a month or two silver!"

With the rising sun and the severe cold, the voice of newsboy appeared in the streets of Qingzhou in the early morning.

As newspapers are gradually accepted by the people in Qingzhou, some scholars who have spare money have also formed the habit of reading newspapers.

Moreover, the price of newspapers is falling again and again. Nowadays, it's not painful to buy a newspaper. Some people even buy a newspaper to let children read it to themselves.

"It's one or two silver a month for the textile workshop to recruit female workers. Have I heard it wrong?"

An old man in an old cotton padded jacket said to himself.

Then he walked quickly to the newsboy and asked, "boy, is that true?"

The newsboy's face turned red with cold, his eyes turned around and said, "if you buy a newspaper, I'll tell you."

"Are you going to buy a newspaper?" The old man clenched the three coppers in his hand. This is the money he bought rice for.

In Qingzhou, where newspapers are more and more popular, the number of newsboys has gradually increased. Now the competition among newsboys is fierce. After all, everyone wants to sell one more newspaper.

Bearing the severe cold, the newsboy naturally didn't want to waste more words. He said, "of course, this is the content of the newspaper. If I tell you everything, I can't sell this newspaper. Do you want it or not? No, I'll go

"Wait, wait, I'll buy it. How much is it?" The old man said.

"Three Wen." Said the newsboy.

"It's so expensive." The old man's dark, calloused hand held the copper plate tighter.

"It's not expensive. It's only two or two meters, a steamed bun." The newsboy's eyes lit up. Then he looked at the old man and asked, "my father-in-law, your accent is not local."

The old man showed his vigilance when he heard that he was not a native of Qingzhou, but a refugee from Huazhou. Because the land was occupied by a powerful man who wanted to rob his daughter to be his concubine, his son killed the powerful man and was wanted by the local government.

No way, he just escaped from Huazhou. On the way, he heard that Qingzhou didn't have any powerful people, so he brought his family here.

Because many powerful people are connected with each other, he is afraid that if he escapes to a place, he will be pursued again.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and took his family four hundred miles to Qingzhou. At this time, all his money was spent, leaving only three Wen.

Now the whole family is waiting for the money to buy rice.

Holding the bronze plate tightly, the old man hesitated for a moment, suddenly grabbed the newspaper in the newsboy's hand and ran away.

The newsboy was only nine years old. The old man was so scared that he suddenly screamed, "catch him, someone's robbing my newspaper, catch the old man."

The newsboys who can sell newspapers on the streets of Qingzhou are a little smart. How can they be willing to suffer losses and chase them.

Many passers-by at this time have looked at the past, learned that the newsboy was robbed, some Qingzhou people immediately catch up.

The old man ran as fast as he could with the newspaper. His son used to be a bookboy in a rich family. He could read the newspaper when he took it back.

Now they have no work in Qingzhou. How can they find one or two silver jobs a month.

As he turned back, he ran. Suddenly, the old man felt that there was something in front of him. Turning his head, he saw a horse getting closer and closer to him.

"Ah With a scream, the old man fell down and ran into the horse in front of him.

Immediately, a young man in a cotton padded jacket was depressed, but it was Xiao Ming.

He was about to go to the military workshop to arrange the gun delivery to Chang'an. Unexpectedly, an old man came straight at him.

Zhao long and Zhao Hu were startled. He got off the horse and went over.

The old man then raised his head and saw the bright saber. He was paralyzed and thought that it was over.

The newsboy came after him at this time. When he saw Xiao Ming, he immediately bowed himself and said, "see you, your highness."

Xiao Ming frowned and saw that many people were chasing the old man. He asked, "what's the matter?"

"Back to your highness, the old man robbed the grass-roots people's newspaper." The newsboy's voice is tender.

Xiao Ming suddenly laughs. For the first time, he hears that there are still people robbing newspapers in Qingzhou City. He says to Zhao long, "give it to the government."

After that, he went on to the military workshop.

At this time, the old man suddenly kowtowed to him and cried: "Mr. Lang, please forgive me. I have no choice. My family is starving to death. I just heard that the textile workshop is recruiting female workers. I think my granddaughter can go too, and I can't bear to buy rice. Mr. Lang, please forgive me."

Smell speech, Xiao Ming reined in the reins, strange way: "this year Qingzhou harvest, how can your family also no rice pot?"

Then Xiao Ming suddenly felt that this person's accent was not Qingzhou, so he asked, "are you not from Qingzhou? Where is the census register? "The old man trembled for fear of being mentioned.

At this time, Zhao Long said angrily, "I don't want to recruit from the facts."

The old man had no choice but to say, "I'm from Huazhou."

"Huazhou people." Xiao Ming frowned. Huazhou is near modern Zhengzhou. He asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhao Long suddenly heard something and said, "Your Highness, a few days ago, the government office received the arrest warrant from Huazhou. It asked the government office of Qingzhou to help arrest a family of five people, and the portrait was sent with it."

This words, the old man's face, he shook his head wry smile, "did not expect to escape to this Qingzhou, or can not escape arrest."

Xiao Ming ignored Zhao long and asked, "Why are you five people arrested?"

The old man sighed bitterly, and now he had no way to escape, so he said his situation again.

After that, Zhao Long suddenly looked ashamed and said, "I see. In this case, the arrest warrant is ridiculous."

Xiao Ming then said, "go to the Yamen and Zhan Xingchang to verify this. If the old man's story is true, let him go. If he is not guilty, let him go."

Zhao Long nodded.

Turning his head, Xiao Ming said to the old man, "if it's true as my father-in-law said, this arrest warrant is a piece of waste paper in Qingzhou. I don't have to worry about it."

The old man was overjoyed when he heard the words, "thank you, Mr. Lang, thank you."

Newsboy also showed a sympathetic look at this time. He said, "why didn't you tell the old man why I said it to you earlier, but you don't have to worry about it. We Qingzhou is a collector of refugees, and the refugees who have lived in Qingzhou for two years can get the household registration in Qingzhou, and you can get the land if you have household registration."

The old man looked incredible and said to himself, "is this true?" www.novelhall.com , the fastest update of the webnovel!
