「Early Morning」
「Outside the East City Gate of Taiping City.」
The area was bustling with voices.
Many people from the surrounding towns and villages had gathered here.
Winter had now set in, and with no work left in the fields, those with a bit of a craft didn't want to sit at home and eat for free.
So, they gathered around Taiping City, hoping to find some work.
It was a bit like a day-laborer market from Earth.
From time to time, a carriage would emerge from the city.
A man who looked like a steward would stand on the carriage and shout, calling for a certain number of laborers or a certain number of tilers.
Upon hearing the commotion, everyone would immediately swarm forward.
Even if they didn't have the required skill themselves, they could still recommend someone from their own village.
Soon, a luxurious carriage rolled out from the East City Gate.
It naturally drew everyone's attention at once.
