Chapter Eighty-Nine: Can You Afford to Redeem It?
Ren Xuefeng knew that these people had not eaten properly since they were captured, and it was caused by hunger, but they couldn't eat it at this time, and if the supply was open, they could often eat the dead. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info that Zhou Rui was eating so happily at the moment, but he couldn't bear to interrupt him, so he called the non-commissioned officer on the side to help him make another bowl, and at the same time contacted the department responsible for material supply through the walkie-talkie to get some "freshman clothes". Most of these captives were naked at this time, and even if they had clothes, they were only a few rags to cover the ** part, although these freshman clothes were not enough for everyone to wear, but at least they didn't have to look directly at the scene like a Nazi concentration camp.
Zhou Rui soon got a freshman suit, although he also saw that it was a cloth pocket with three holes, but it was better than everyone being "honest and relative", at least it was much warmer.
At this time, the Nanban had already retreated, and the evacuated people had begun to return, at this time the vicinity of the port of Champa had long been razed to the ground, the houses had been demolished, the building materials had been transported to build siege equipment, and the paddy fields had been filled with mud to build camps. However, almost all of these people were evacuated with title deeds and property, and although they had no land when they returned, they still had money and could make a comeback.
The refugees were blushing as they watched as they rebuilt their homes from the rubble, and soon some were eager to go home and start over.
"Name," Zhou Rui asked without raising his head, he has been doing the work of recording in this position for the past few days, and he is becoming more and more proficient, at first he often asked the clerk next to him how to register, but after a day he almost didn't have to ask again, except that he was wearing a freshman uniform, the others were no different from the clerk next to him.
"Isn't this the second child of the Zhou family?" A slightly hoarse voice came, Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment, and looked up. A head poked out of the crowd to look at him, and when he looked closely, it turned out to be Ma Dong, a classmate from his private school. These registered crowds turned out to be acquaintances of the clerk, and directly made a way for Ma Dong to come forward directly. In the past few days, whether they have registered or not, they have been able to eat at the point, and they are not in a hurry to queue up for registration now.
Ma Dong also walked quickly to the table in a freshman uniform at this time. "Zhou Rui, what are you doing here?"
"Work!" Zhou Rui held a pencil in his hand and quickly wrote Ma Dong's name and some other information on the registration form, wrote "Xiucai" in terms of education, and then looked up and asked, "How did you come here?" ”
"How else could it be?" Ma Dong couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Haven't you been captured by the barbarians like you?" ”
"Do you still have family?" Zhou Rui hurriedly asked with concern.
Ma Dong smiled miserably and shook his head, "I still had it when I came out, but it was disrupted after the attack, and now I can't find it." ”
Zhou Rui hurriedly opened the notepad on the side and put it on the table, "Write down the names and ages of your relatives, these will be sent up for reference, and if you can find them, I can contact you." ”
Ma Dong smiled, he didn't believe in these things, the people in the official mansion didn't have their nostrils facing the sky, and they didn't care about his family affairs at all. In previous years, if someone in the village lost the report to the official, the official family was not perfunctory that time, at most they posted a notice at the city gate, and as long as they didn't encounter shit luck, they basically couldn't be recovered. But now that Zhou Rui has solemnly taken out this notebook, he can't refuse, so he has to pick up the pen.
This made him stunned again, this is different from the brush, it is held sideways, not like the brush held vertically, after Zhou Rui corrected it twice, he gradually became familiar with the writing of the pencil.
"Write your name, age and gender here." Zhou Rui pointed to the classification on the notebook. Seeing this, Ma Dong couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, how could there be such a detailed classification? Whether this book is printed on paper,It's not like it's made for perfunctory.,Just to make such a book,It costs a few dollars of silver.,It's impossible for the government to spend such a big amount of money to deceive people, right? He couldn't help but have a glimmer of hope in his heart.
After he finished writing his name and everything, he was about to go back, but was stopped by Zhou Rui, "Wait a minute, you are also a showman, why don't you help here first?" ”
Ma Dong was stunned for a moment and nodded. Zhou Rui stood up happily and shouted at a man in a green coat who was patrolling in the distance, "Chief! Heads! ”
Ren Xuefeng was checking the registration of the clerk, when he heard someone calling him, he raised his head and looked over, and saw a clerk in a freshman uniform waving at him, and another person in a freshman uniform stood next to him. He didn't know what was going on, so he couldn't help but walk forward quickly.
"That's the case...... Zhou Rui hurriedly reported the situation to Ren Xuefeng briefly, "This Ma Dong is the same period as the villain, and he is also a showman, there are still so many people who need to register at this time, can you let him help here too?" ”
Ren Xuefeng glanced at the Ma Dong in front of him, his figure was not high, his appearance was ordinary, his skin was relatively fair, and it seemed that he didn't usually do much. Looking down closely, there is still a thin callus on the inside of the ring finger of his right hand, presumably a perennial writer, and nodded, "Then let's do it, Zhou Rui, he is in a group with you now, and he is in ......"
Before he could finish speaking, a noise was heard on the western side of the queue, and everyone turned their heads to that side, not knowing what was happening, and soon the voices grew louder and louder, and then there were signs of fighting. Ren Xuefeng took out a pistol from the holster on his waist, grabbed it in his hand, and rushed over quickly. After rushing out a few steps, he remembered that he hadn't finished what he had just said, so he turned his head and shouted at Zhou Rui, "You and that classmate of yours are now registering at a registration office, you teach him first!" With that, he turned his head and ran over.
Ma Dong and Zhou Rui couldn't help but look at each other, Zhou Rui chuckled, he has dealt with these chiefs a lot in the past few days, knowing that although these chiefs are doing things one by one and are not dragging their feet, they are all really good people, caring about these refugees, he smiled and patted Ma Dong lightly on the back, "That's it, you sit down and register first, and I'll ask." ”
Ma Dong hurriedly sat down and picked up the pen, he didn't expect to find an acquaintance here in Zhancheng Port so soon, and he actually did something for the government.
"Let's go!" Ren Xuefeng led the non-commissioned officers of the Marine Corps to run quickly to the place where the fight took place, several thin young men were scuffling together, and the Marines on the side were stunned with senate rifles with bayonets in their hands, not knowing what to do.
"Stop!" Ren Xuefeng separated the people who were fighting in three or two clicks, this patriarch who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed 70 kilograms was simply a standout among this group of refugees with an average height of only 1.55 meters, and these people were quickly separated by him like chickens. "What happened?" He first questioned the Marines on duty.
"Report to the chief, these young people are going to leave the queue and go home, and a few other people persuade them, but they say that they have become the dogs of the government after eating the food of the government, and then they fight." The Marines were educated and quickly reported the cause of the incident.
"Which ones are going home?" Ren Xuefeng was on fire in his heart, this is the population who spent food to exchange it for, now they don't have to do anything, they just eat and drink well, how can they go home after eating and drinking? What do you think of the Senate refugee camp?
A person who looked a little stronger stood up, of course, the word sturdy was only compared with the refugees on the side, and he was directly two heads short in front of Ren Xuefeng, and he had no confidence to speak, "Master, the little ones are grateful for the lord's life-saving grace, but there are still some real estate and thin fields at home that need to be taken care of, and the adults are also invited to let the little ones go home, and the little ones will definitely repay each other." ”
"Oh?" Ren Xuefeng laughed, he had seen the photos taken by the reconnaissance plane, where is there a house that can live on the road from Zhancheng Port to Wenshan Port, this person is just breaking blindly, "There is no house that can live in Wenshan Port for dozens of miles here, have you not figured out the situation after the disaster?" Even if you have money, you don't have a place to buy food! ”
The speaker stammered, "The little ones must have a way to find a way to survive themselves, and please make ...... adults."
"Be your head!" Ren Xuefeng directly interrupted him, "We are not the government, we are the Chinese Senate of Dongfang Port, this time we spent tens of thousands of stone of grain and thousands of troops to repel the barbarians and rescue you from the hands of the barbarians, don't you make a little statement?" Are you here to learn from Lei Feng? ”
The natives didn't know who Lei Feng was, but they could hear that these people in the Senate wanted to make a lot of money from themselves.
"But the little ones have nothing to grow, their homes have been burned down by the barbarians, and the food and property have been looted, and there is no way to repay them......" An old man in freshman clothes walked out and said to Ren Xuefeng.
Ren Xuefeng smiled, "We don't want your money, you only need to work for us for a year." ”
There was a discussion in the crowd, and soon someone shouted in the crowd, "If you work for a year, who will eat and live?" ”
"Of course, it's ours, but you also have to work hard, otherwise you will have to pay for it by extending the working hours." Ren Xuefeng shouted at them.
"But we still have land at home, can we redeem ourselves?" Someone is asking a question below.
"Yes, ten taels of silver is enough." Ren Xuefeng smiled quietly, now that these ordinary people even provided their own clothes, he didn't believe that these ordinary people could take out the silver from their bodies.
Sure enough, no one spoke anymore. "Then you can continue to register." The refugees are like a mirror in their hearts, not to mention that they have no money at all, even if they have money and run back, how can they toss? At least people have food and shelter, at least now they haven't asked for a penny to provide themselves with food and shelter, it's better to honestly follow others to do a year's work is reliable, anyway, they are either long-term or short-term workers, or tenants, where to work is not to work?
