The number of displaced people has greatly exceeded Lu Peng's expectations, a stable and peaceful world, in this troubled world, in the eyes of the displaced people, that is the existence of heaven, the homeland is difficult to leave, the ancestral homeland is difficult to abandon, in the face of survival, all become less important. As a result, whether it is Qingzhou or the surrounding counties, almost all the displaced people have flocked to Lu County.

There is also a fundamental reason for this, that is, the promotion of other local governments.

In this era of poverty and weakness, the local government has neither the ability to provide relief, nor the ability to resettle, for the sake of the temporary stability of their own localities, the lazy officials have decided to beggar-thy-neighbor to drive the displaced people out of their jurisdiction, and then enjoy peace in front of them.

In the county seat of Lu County, there are countless displaced people who pour in every day, and these displaced people drag their families and mouths, and they need to eat and drink, and they need to be arranged by Lu Peng and other brothers.

A poster was posted on the wall of the county yamen, and a small official of the county yamen stood on a table, facing the homeless people who were crowded, and was reading the contents of the notice hoarsely: "Luxian salt farm, need 10,000 laborers, renovate the salt pond of the salt field, the daily wage is 30 yuan, and the sunset will be paid, after the salt pond is completed, priority will be given to Ding Zhuang, who built the salt field, and the purchase will be measured at 70 yuan per stone of salt, and those who are willing will immediately sign the contract at the east clerk's office." ”

Immediately, a crowd of people crowded in front of the documents on the east side and signed and signed them one after another.

Another fresh notice was posted on the wall, and a small official jumped on the table again, and read the news on the notice aloud to the displaced people who came up: "The county yamen is now announcing the recruitment news, starting tomorrow, from the county government to the salt field, to build a straight road, it takes 5,000 labor, according to the earthwork settlement, if you are interested, please report to the clerk's office in the west." ”

Immediately, another group of homeless people flocked to the clerk's office to the west.

Another notice was posted on the wall, and a small official announced in a hoarse voice: "Does anyone know how to sew and cut?" Lu Jiajun needs to customize a batch of clothes, and now he is recruiting women who can sew and cut, and the piecework salary will be completed as long as you know how to do it. ”

"Carpenters and blacksmiths, please come here." Another small official stood on the table, tapping on the cloud board in his hand, recruiting all kinds of craftsmen.

Wang Dong, a homeless man in Quanzhou, carried his mother on his back and pulled his father, squeezing around in the crowd of recruiters, looking for a suitable job for himself.

The homeless Wang Dong has this official name, or because when he was young, he worked as a scholar for the little son of the master's family for several years in the master's house. Although he was beaten hard, Wang Dong had a heart, and when he was a scholar, he secretly learned a lot of literary knowledge, so he quietly gave himself a formal name, unlike other children in the village.

As a result, the difficult days didn't last long, and the yellow scarves rose overnight, and Wang Dong's head of the family was destroyed in an instant, if he hadn't pulled his father behind his back to hide quickly, he would not have been able to avoid suffering.

By the time the Yellow Turban Army passed and returned to their hometown, the houses had collapsed, the young and strong were taken away, the old and weak were killed in the ditch, and the village had become a hell on earth.

But there is also the good thing that the Lord's family is dead, and the land that used to be terra nullius is no longer so high that it is impossible to breathe. So the two of them hastily built a hayhouse on the burned home, and then selected the most fertile land to cultivate and plant.

As time passed, the villagers who had fled slowly came back, making the small village slowly come alive.

As a result, the good times did not last long, Zhang Ju's rebels led the Wuhuan people to loot Youzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Quanzhou was also broken and slaughtered, and Wang Dong once again dragged his family and fled with his mouth. The rebels and Wuhuan people stopped, and the officers and soldiers came again, to encircle and suppress the rebels entrenched in Quanzhou, but the rebels did not exterminate them, but they first attacked this small village, looted property, and killed all the people they saw to pretend to be military merits.

The officers and soldiers went, and the bandits came again, but the bandits did not kill anyone, but only took away the little grain he had just harvested, and the family's hard work was wiped out in a blink of an eye.

There was no way, the family could only become homeless, but the government drove all the homeless people out of the country, and if they dared to go back, they would be killed on the spot.

Wang Dong's family could only wander around aimlessly, and finally heard that the county of Luxian was stable, and they did not drive out the displaced people, and they could also give them work and resettlement, so Wang Dong's group of displaced people poured into Lu County.

As soon as you enter Lu County, you immediately feel different, although the houses along the way are still dilapidated, there is no sign of fireworks. And the people walked on the way, and there was no panic or fear. In a large area of land, hundreds of people are turning and preparing to plow. From time to time, a small group of officers and soldiers passed by, and instead of driving away the looters, they actually made way for the homeless. When they saw the army, the local people did not hide, but would greet each other warmly. This situation was completely unexpected by the displaced people, so everyone came to the county seat of Luxian County with a longing for the peace of Luxian County.

As soon as they entered the county seat, several officers and soldiers in the city gate came up to ask where everyone came from, and simply searched and checked what everyone carried, and saw that there were no weapons and other forbidden things, so they let everyone enter the city, and also kindly pointed out the place where Lu County was recruiting.

"Dad, I have decided that we will apply for work in the salt works." After observing for a while, Wang Dong squeezed out the bustling crowd of homeless people and said to his father beside him.

Daddy's face turned pale at that time: "Don't you dare to be a salt household, I heard that those salt farmers are very miserable." Let's find another job to settle down first. ”

Originally, the misery of the salt farmers was famous far and wide, but now everyone is talking about the tiger color change to the salt households, it is a fire pit, how can you jump into it?

Wang Dong shook his head and persuaded his father: "Lu County stipulates that land is given priority to the local people, and we outsiders cannot get land, and other work is short-term emergency, and after the work is completed, we still have to wander around, but according to the official notice, salt farmers can work first, and then give priority to contracting salt fields, so that we can have a stable livelihood of our own, and we don't have to run around. It is the future salt pan salt drying and purchases it at the price of seventy-one stones. According to the original salt household, the Ding family only had 50 yuan, which still has some profits, for the sake of long-term planning, I think it is better to be recruited as a salt household. ”

Wang Dong has read books, and he is still a little farther than other people in terms of knowledge, so this group of displaced people is invisibly led by Wang Dong, and the heads of various families nodded when they heard him say this. also began to calculate the gains and losses that Wang Dong said.

It's clear that everyone is tired of being displaced, and who wants to be displaced again if there is a stable world protected by such a strong army?

Since you have decided to stay here, of course, you have to choose a stable career to make a living. For the time being, the government will only take care of the local people, and will not contract with the displaced people from outside, so everyone will have to settle for the next best thing, and seeking a stable job to earn money to support their families is also a necessary way to do so.

So they persuaded the father: "His father, what Wang Dong said is not unreasonable, since we have been displaced here and don't want to leave again, then we have to find a stable livelihood, moreover, in order to see that the current county lord does not seem to have the intention of forcing the salt households, everyone is voluntary, the big deal is that we see that boiling salt and drying salt does not make money, we just leave again, and it doesn't matter." ”

In the end, the father didn't resist his son and the villagers who came with him, so he could only reluctantly nod and agree: "Then let's take a look and talk about it, anyway, I heard the old man who read the notice say that the matter of contracting the salt pans is later, and now the renovation of the salt fields is just to work to earn wages, just do it and see, it's really not good, just give up the work and leave." ”

With his father's consent, Wang Dong signed up in front of the paperwork to recruit salt farmers on behalf of a group of displaced people behind him. As a result, there were too many people who signed up, and the document registration was too busy, so Wang Dong, who was waiting anxiously, begged for a simple brush and directly filled in the names of his own people to register.

Seeing Wang Dong fluently writing everyone's names of origin, a white-robed scribe standing on the side widened his eyes in surprise, and asked Wang Dong, "Are you still literate?" ”

In this era, knowledge is the exclusive patent of everyone's clan, and it is simply rare to be literate among the homeless, which is indeed a surprising existence.

Wang Dong bowed to this scribe and replied modestly: "When I was a child, I was a scholar for others, and I learned it secretly, but I didn't fall into the eyes of the master." ”

The white-robed scribe nodded, "Are you sure you want to be recruited as a salt worker?" ”

Wang Dong nodded and judged his thoughts.

The scribe nodded as he listened, and then sighed: "It's rare to have someone as understanding as you, well, my salt farm is short of literate people to participate in the management, if you want, I will hire you to be the salt factory bookkeeper, a daily salary of one hundred yuan, if you do a good job, the salary can be increased, what do you think?" ”

As soon as he heard about the pie falling from the sky, Wang Dong immediately knelt down in front of the scribe and thanked him again and again, and the scribe shook his hand: "It's useless to thank me, you still need to do a good job in everything, tomorrow you will go to the salt field with the salt household team, remember, show your talent and ability, Luxian, you need capable people, whether he is from the clan or from the common people." Then he ignored Wang Dong, who was grateful to Dade, and left in a hurry with a few people who looked like followers.

Wang Dong looked at the back of the scribe who went away, and involuntarily asked the clerk next to him: "Who is this master?" ”

The clerk smiled and said: "It's also your luck, you met a nobleman, that is the real master of our Lu County, our lord Lu Peng." ”
