Chapter 65: Recruiting Displaced People
A few days later, a number of grass huts had been erected in the valley, which was tentatively named Red Star Valley.
"The bathroom must be set up in a reasonable location, pay attention not to pollute the water flow, and once again warn everyone that it is not allowed to drink raw water that has not been boiled." Ma Qiang made suggestions from time to time as he walked.
"Little Pony! Uncle Father-in-law, they're here!! Lu Qingcheng shouted loudly at Ma Qiang not far away, Ma Qiang couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard it, what he lacked now was people.
Ma Qiang and the others walked quickly to the mouth of the valley, and saw a group of people walking towards the valley from afar.
"Woooooooo A white shadow suddenly rushed towards Ma Qiang.
Looking at the big white cat rushing towards him, Ma Qiang only felt that the corners of his mouth were twitching.
What is this??
"Poof!" Ma Qiang was thrown to the ground by the big cat, and then licked it frantically.
"White smoke... How did you get so big? ”
It's only been less than a month, and this white smoke has become the size of an Akita dog, and it's not the same species as the kitten that used to be able to hold its own fingers.
"How? Brother Pony, am I feeding well? Lin Zhi's voice came from above Ma Qiang's head, and Ma Qiang sat up hard.
"Raise... It's a good raiser..."Ma Qiang desperately let himself laugh, this Nima, you raised the tiger as a pig, right?
It's not a second child!
"That's right, it's so delicious, when I'm full, I'll hold it to sleep, sleep and sleep, it's become so big, I have a hard time holding it." Lin Zhi also pounced, and Ma Qiang was pressed down again as soon as he sat up.
"My water snake waist..."
"This time, all the people in our village who are necessary to guard the village have come out, and everyone is happy to receive the gifts you sent." Yue Liang said with a smile on the side.
Ma Qiang struggled desperately again, threw Bai Yan and Lin Zhi aside, and then stood up and said, "That's good, now there is too much shortage of manpower here, Uncle Lin has bought more than 5,000 acres of mountain and woodland in the vicinity, thanks to the fact that this is all wasteland, the price is very low, I am ready to recruit 3,000 people, you have to go to various counties to recruit displaced people, or that sentence, young and strong can take a woman and children, give a settlement fee, we have food and accommodation here, and there will be wages." ”
"Three thousand homeless people, this is a great kindness, Ma Lang, don't worry, a few of our old bones will definitely handle this matter!" Yue Liang patted his chest and reassured.
- Zhuo County
A group of people in tattered clothes were sitting on the side of the road begging from the passers-by around them, and looking at these people, a man carrying two large stacks of straw shoes and straw mats couldn't help but sigh.
"I said Xuande, why are you sighing again, I found that after you came back from outside, you like to sigh more and more." A farmer on the side looked at this man and couldn't help but smile.
"Hey, if I hadn't gone out, I wouldn't have known that the world was already so difficult, I, Liu Xuande, as a member of the Han family, could only sell mats and weave shoes here, and couldn't serve the country, how could I not sigh." Liu Bei glanced at these people again and was full of emotion.
"Xuande, you just love to think about the east and the west, this Han family has been around for 400 years, and there are probably not 100,000 clans like us, but also 80,000, and I don't see a few people like you, you might as well think about how to sell your straw sandals, your mother is still waiting for your straw sandals to eat!"
Another farmer on the side also persuaded him, Liu Bei only felt bored in his heart, indeed, there are more than 100,000 clan disciples like him, but if everyone doesn't care about what the world has become, will this world get better?
Liu Bei thought about it while coming to the city to sell straw sandals and straw mats, straw sandals and straw mats are actually made by most people, and they can't be sold at all, and there are not a few copper coins for a day.
Liu Bei watched the sun gradually set in the west, cleaned up and prepared to leave, although he didn't get much, but it was enough for the old mother in the family.
"It's a pity that after King Jing of the Mountains, I have fallen to this point! Master Lu taught me literary and martial arts, but I couldn't serve the country at the top, and I couldn't support my relatives... This big man... What's going on? ”
Liu Bei's father actually still has an official position, but unfortunately passed away very early, with the savings left by his father and the care of his relatives over the years, Liu Bei not only grew up safely, but also had the money to go out to study.
It's a pity that the Han Dynasty was an official system, and Liu Bei couldn't be an official because he was a student of Lu Zhi, so he could only return to his hometown, but Liu Bei, who had already seen the world in Luoyang, could no longer look down on the life of farming in his hometown, and hoped to have the opportunity to enter the imperial court, assist the Son of Heaven, and settle the people.
"Come and see! Someone is recruiting displaced people! ”
"Recruit homeless people? Where is the big family? ”
"I don't know, but these homeless people are also pitiful, and it is also good to accumulate virtue if someone can give them a bite to eat."
Liu Bei listened to the greetings, curiously followed the flow of people to the outside of the city, and sure enough, he saw a wooden platform set up outside the city, and the word "recruitment" was written on the wooden platform.
"Isn't that tantamount to selling yourself? Do they want to too? A slightly chubby man on the side said puzzled.
"It's not bad to be able to sell yourself to a good family now, if you are asked to go to Runan Yuan's family or Hongnong Yang's family to do things, are you willing?"
"Then I'm naturally willing, and it's best to bring my two sons with me." The man laughed.
"You're not stupid."
Liu Bei saw that the people queuing up to register were all homeless people in tattered clothes, and couldn't help asking, "Why are they all homeless?" ”
Someone on the side replied, "The owner of this house is a kind person, it stands to reason that those homeless people can't eat enough for many days, and some of them are even sick, where can they compare to us farmers, but people say that the homeless people are more difficult, this master is in charge of eating and drinking, and if he recruits them, he will save the lives of these homeless, so he recruits these homeless people first." ”
"I see." Liu Bei Fuxu nodded, and when he came out, he saw that there were only three people recruiting for work, and he was already a little busy, so he said with his hand, "Under Liu Bei Liu Xuande, who is coarse and well-versed in literature and ink, I see that your master is very kind-hearted and willing to help, I don't know if it is possible?" ”
Coming here to recruit workers is Dasong Village Deng Qing and other three people, according to the plan to recruit homeless people in Zhuo County, the first time they start work they often take care of one or the other, see Liu Bei willing to help, but also write, Daxi said, "This can be a big help, we have few people, and we are not very good at writing." If you don't dislike it, you might as well help me register here, and I will pay him on a daily basis. ”
"This is a matter of benevolence and righteousness, so why bother talking about money!" Liu Bei said that he would do it, and immediately began to help register, seeing that there were people recruiting homeless people here, the county magistrate of Zhuoxian County also sent officials to help maintain order after learning about it, after all, the homeless people outside the city have always been an unstable factor, and without the homeless, he should be more relaxed as an official.
As for why you say he didn't come forward to resettle the displaced people? Hehe, just kidding, you give money!
