Chapter 31 Placement of New Persons
When Qin Forget rushed back to Qinjia Village, he didn't go back alone.
An old horse, so thin that only a large skeleton remained, pulled a broken flatbed cart, which he bought for five taels of silver. Qin Forget still had seventy-five taels of silver left in his hand, of which sixty taels were given to Yang Xuan by Huang Chuchu, and Qin Forget would not move without Yang Xuan's permission.
There were two little boys and a woman in the carriage, and the man leading the carriage was as thin as the old horse, with only a large skeleton. It's ridiculous to say that this family is the original owner of this carriage, and such a ridiculous thing to buy things and give them to the seller's family can only be encountered in this era.
"Lao Luo, your family has come with me, I still have to support you, and the silver can't be used in our Qinjia Village, otherwise I will pay it back? How about I'll give you a big house? The journey went smoothly, Qin Forget was in a good mood, and made an unprecedented joke with the coachman Lao Luo.
The coachman Lao Luo's name is Luo Zhong, who is the local old carriage handlebar type in Chicheng, and he has been out of business for several months due to heavy snowfall. The two sons Rowan and Luo Wu are twins, both 12 years old, as the saying goes, "half the size, eat the poor", the price of food has skyrocketed, and his savings have long been spent. Seeing that the whole family of four was about to starve to death, it happened that Qin Forget came to buy a carriage at this time, Luo Zhong gritted his teeth, and the whole family "sold" all their belongings to Qin Wang. Anyway, he can't do anything except catch a car, and the family will starve to death sooner or later.
"My good young master, isn't our family of four strong laborers worth 5 taels of silver?" Luo Zhong subconsciously covered the money bag on his chest and called out to hit the skyγγγγγγ
"Fuck off, you see how thin you and your wife have become? I will feed you without good food and drink? And your two sons, when they can eat, how do you think I lost! Qin Forget touched the heads of the two brothers who were still a little afraid of life, and laughed.
Luo Zhong also understood that Qin Forget was just joking with him, and he also laughed with him.
Don't know what's going on at home? I was in too much of a hurry, and I didn't make clear arrangements for Yang Xuan, so I don't know how Yang Xuan arranged them?
The resettlement of the newly arrived refugees is what Qin Wang is most worried about, and I hope everything will go well.
Qin Wu couldn't help but quicken his pace, he eagerly wanted to know what was going on at home. As soon as he stepped out of the woods, a flash of fire made his eyes dizzy. He subconsciously quickly hid behind the big tree next to him, and his hand was scooped up behind his back, and the bow and arrow were already aimed at the direction of the fire.
"Is it the owner? Don't let go of the arrows, the whole village is here to pick you up! Yang Xuan's voice came from afar.
Hearing Yang Xuan's voice, Qin Forget relieved himself. He put down his bow and arrows, and when he came out of the woods, he saw nearly three hundred people standing there quietly watching him under dozens of torches. The people in front are all the old people of Qinjia Village, Aunt Xiu, Aunt Duan, and Qin Qingγγγγγγ One by one, their eyes were eager. I didn't know the others in the back, there were men and women, old and young, and the eyes that looked at him were full of curiosity and surprise.
"The owner has been gone for a few days, everyone is very worried, every day will be here to wait for this time, today everyone has been thinking about it for four or five days, why do you have to wait until the owner comes back, the owner is really back." Yang Xuan said in a low voice, the 5-foot man's eyes were red.
Qin Wang looked around, everyone looked at him with red eyes, and Qin Qing and the other shallow little girls began to cry silently.
What is a loved one? This is what loved ones.
Qin Wang's heart was moved, but he couldn't choke like a child, he couldn't hold back his emotions and looked at everyone with a smile, he enjoyed the warmth at this time.
"Boss, say something, cheer everyone up!" Yang Xuan shouted loudly.
Before the words fell, the crowd immediately erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Qin Wang's hands pressed down slightly, and the crowd quickly quieted down, "First of all, Qin Wang, thank you for your kindness!" Qin Forget bowed slightly to the crowd, "It's still the same old saying, if I Qin Forget eats, I won't let any of you go hungry!" β
To reiterate the old saying, there was no impatience and the applause was even more enthusiastic. Especially the newly arrived refugees, who had only heard about Qin Wang's love for the villagers before, but now they were relieved to hear his personal promise.
"Half of this is new friends, and I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, since we people from Qinjia Village can let you come here, we can naturally trust you. As long as you abide by the rules of my Qinjia Village, you will all have what we have in Qinjia Village. Many of you are locals of Akagi, and some of you may want to return to your hometown after fighting the famine during this time, and I understand that it is difficult to leave your homeland. Rest assured, if you are leaving, I will never force you to stay. But the ugly words are ahead, the next time there is a famine or any disaster, others can come to take refuge, but those who have gone out cannot. Finally, one day in my Qinjia Village, one day to abide by the rules of my Qinjia Village, I will also ask the people of Qinjia Village to abide by the rules. Whoever breaks the rules will be driven out of Qinjia Village mercilessly. Qin Wang's words were both gracious and powerful, and the newly arrived refugees looked at each other.
"Village Chief Qin, we all understand what you said, his mother is about to starve to death, who the fuck dares to be dishonest? Dare to be ungrateful, we don't need you to do it, we will tear him up ourselves, are you right! A swarthy man shouted, waving his arm back, and a chorus of approval came from the refugees behind him.
Qin Forget glanced at the man deeply, "Okay, then everyone go back!" Qin Forget raised his arms and shouted loudly.
"Ohγγγγγγ Go home, go home! People cheered happily, especially a group of children, who were the most happy.
"How's the population registered?" Qin Wangluo was at the end, and turned his head to ask Yang Xuan next to him.
"All registered, this time a total of 53 families were accommodated, including 36 elderly people, 53 young men, 52 middle-aged women, 59 children aged 7 to 13, basically orphans, including 29 boys, 20 girls, a total of 200 people. Including the four people brought by the owner, there are a total of 37 elderly people, 54 young and strong people, 52 middle-aged women, and 61 children. There were four mules and one horse, that is, the horses were a little thinner, and there were five carriages. Yang Xuan replied clearly.
"It's hard work," Qin Forget patted Yang Xuan's shoulder, "By the way, who is that big black man, it seems that his prestige among newcomers is not small." Qin Forget asked a little curiously.
"This person's name is Liu Meng, a butcher in Chicheng County, and he is very righteous. After the disaster, this person went bankrupt to help many refugees, so his prestige in the hearts of refugees was greater. β
"It's a good thing to have prestige for every righteous slaughter of dogs, and he can help us manage new people. But this person has to keep an eye on it, this person's prestige among the newcomers is too high, and I am afraid that if he is not right-hearted and instigates the new refugees to oppose our Qinjia Village, it will be troublesome. There are few people in our Qinjia Village, so I'm afraid we can't compete with them. β
"Don't worry, I know it. As long as the grain depot and fish depot are controlled by us, there will be no big problem. Yang Xuan nodded, "I arranged for the newcomer and the old man to mix and stay, the newcomer has an old man staring, once I find that someone is not right, I will immediately drive out." β
"Well, I'll rest assured that you'll do something." Qin Wang's face was full of appreciation, "By the way, it's cold, you must pay attention to keeping warm, how is the house going now, is it enough to live?" β
"There is not enough to live, and half of the people live in tents, but the owner can rest assured that the tents are thick and there are enough charcoal fires to keep warm, and they can't freeze everyone. The rest of the house is being built in full swing and will be completed in four or five days. Yang Xuan replied.
"Well, that's good, Yang Xuan, you said that we should move half of the young Zhuang to the monkey nest to open up the wasteland, is this more appropriate." Qin Forget had an idea and came up with a good solution.
Yang Xuan pondered for a moment, "It's a good way, the owner, send half of the young people to the monkey nest to open up the wasteland, their strength in Qinjia Village will be greatly reduced, and the terrain there will not be able to turn the sky even for them." Moreover, their families are all in the village, and they don't dare to make any moths. And in this way, with this precedent, we can recruit more refugees without fear of problems. Yang Xuan said with great joy.
"Yes, the monkey nest is simply a natural prison cell, as long as we control the monkey's back ridge, no one can escape from the ascension. With there, we will recruit another 1,000 refugees and resettle them, and the problem is whether we can afford to support them. Qin couldn't help but nod.
Walking in the village, Qin Forget was very happy to see that the popularity of the village was much more prosperous than before, especially the children who kept running back and forth, which added a lot of vitality to Qinjia Village.
"Yang Xuan did a good job, the house should be built like this, the population of our Qinjia Village will become more and more, and the place where we live must not be built in a mess and waste land, so it is very good to be next to each other!" Qin Forget pointed to the house being built in the distance and said approvingly.
Those houses were built next to the original houses in Qinjia Village, which reduced the waste of land to the highest extent. Moreover, these places are close to the Taihang Mountain Pass, and in case of an accident, everyone can run into the Taihang Mountain to take shelter as soon as possible.
"We still have to open up the wasteland, there is still a distance of more than ten miles from Qinjia Village to Houbeiling, most of these places are plains, it is a pity to waste it like this. Divide the newly recruited young people into two halves, and half go to the monkey's nest, and generally reclaim these places. Next spring, we will have a few hundred acres of arable land to plant, although the harvest will not be too good in the first few years. The most important thing is that when our Qinjia Village grows again, these are ready-made lands that can be used. Qin Forget commanded again.
"Yes, I'll go down and arrange it when I get back!" Yang Xuan nodded and agreed.
