Chapter 66: Resettlement of the Hungry 2

In the barren fields, you can see people working in the fields from time to time. The cultivated land around the city of Taonan was almost reclaimed by the previous immigrants, and at this time the only way to reclaim the cultivated land was in the outer areas.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" A little boy whispered as he pulled the corner of the woman's clothes who were hoeing weeds.

"Child, wait, there will be something to eat in a little while." When Yan Xia was in Hubei, her husband starved to death, the family's fields were out of harvest, there was no one to turn to, and the rent in Hubei was high, so Yan Xia took her children and boarded the train to the northeast with a large group of refugees. My daughter was still young and slept in a refugee shed.

At this time, hundreds of people have to live in each refugee shed, and the poor conditions are naturally needless to say. Next to the refugee shed, there is also a separate granary, which is specially used to store coarse grains such as coarse cornmeal and sorghum rice. Unlike the southerners, who eat rice, the northeast is dominated by wheat, corn, and sorghum rice. However, people from poor families usually eat corn and sorghum rice.

"Bang!" There was the sound of gongs beating from the refugee shed, and when the meal was served, the farther places informed each other and shouted twice, and when they heard the gongs closer, they rushed directly to the shed.

"It's open, it's open, it's a newly released nest."

There was a crowd of people all around.

"Queue, queue. Cut in line and worry about not having to eat. The laborer who distributed the wowo head shouted loudly.

The steamed ones are slightly larger, and each person is given two and one for children. Although it is not enough for people who are engaged in heavy physical labor in the field, but it is much stronger than when there is no food to eat before, the granary next to the refugee shed every once in a while, the head of the shed will take a few people to the city to pull some grain over, the coarse grain in the granary is full, but also these refugees feel a lot at ease, there is so much food, so many pairs of eyes staring, if anyone wants to do it on everyone's head, it is impossible.

The little boy happily held some of the soupy wowotou and nibbled on them one by one, these wowotou were not very tasty, but they were much stronger than when there was nothing to eat before, and even the bark of the tree was eaten.

"Drive, drive!" Two officers and soldiers rode towards this side.

"Look, the official is here."

"Official, what's the matter?" When the head of the shed saw the officers and soldiers, he hurriedly greeted them, and the idea of the official standard has been deeply poisoned in China, and it will not be able to change it for a while.

"Lord Qin has an order, come and announce some good news to you, from today onwards, the grain in each shed will be evenly distributed to people, not children. In the future, as long as you return the grain you have eaten and the money for the placement of farm tools, the reclaimed fields will be rented to you at a low price, which is 30% less than the rent outside, and after planting for 10 years, you can buy a land deed. ”

Some of those who heard the news burst into cheers, and some women were holding their children and sobbing on the side. If Kannai is like this, where will they be displaced in a foreign land, and where will they lose their relatives who are starving to death.

Taonan is sparsely populated, some are alone, and some are families. According to the area in front of them, each person in their shed can get seven or eight acres, how much grain can a person eat in a year? That is to say, they will work hard for a year next year, and the next year they will have a field to plant. The rent is still so low, I used to be tired and tired in Hubei for a year, and the harvest was not enough to pay the rent, so the days were miserable.

"Only by dividing the fields can we arouse the enthusiasm of these hungry people, and after these hungry people have fields and have some spare money in their hands, they will build houses and buy all kinds of things, and these 100,000 people will be settled in and around Taonan Fucheng, and the time for the future development of Taonanfu City will be greatly shortened." Qin Yu rode on his horse, listening to the cheers from time to time from the hungry people's huts on the side of the road,

"In order to fill the stomachs of these hungry people and settle them, even if they return the money for grain and farm tools later, on the whole, the adults will still have a loss, and it is estimated that there will be a loss of two or three hundred thousand taels of silver." Tian Helin, as the direct person in charge of this immigration, cleared the accounts in the middle.

"Doing business, there are gains and losses, I got Baicheng, Jing'an, opened a few places, and it is nothing to pay two or three hundred thousand taels of silver." What really makes Qin Yu happy is not to get these places, but to be able to successfully resettle so many hungry people, which has greatly changed the sparsely populated situation in Taonan, and only talent is the foundation of development.

Qin Yu said with a smile, "We are willing to earn some money, it doesn't matter if some money is lost, we can save some more people, I want to have peace of mind, Brother Xuguang, you can arrange so many people this time, you are a great contributor." ”

Tian Helin's ability to handle affairs is indeed very strong, except for the chaos when the hungry people poured in at the beginning, but now he has dispatched food, farm tools, built refugee sheds, and prepared winter clothes, all of which are in good order, and occasional small problems are harmless.

"If it weren't for the adults running around, opening up money and relationships, there would be no way to do it." Tian Helin sighed slightly in his heart, usually Qin Yu laughs and laughs, but when he really encounters something, he is unambiguous, and he spends tens of millions of silver coins without even blinking his eyes, and this kind of bearing alone is not comparable to ordinary people. Those who read poetry and books and shout for the country and the people all day long, if they really face the same choice as Qin Yu, I am afraid that it will probably be another result.

"Don't you scholars have a saying, if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world, I, Qin Yu, have never thought that I am a decent gentleman, I can do a few things if I have a little ability, since I am an official, I can't help but mess around, leave something for future generations, and when I get old in the future, I will not be poked in the backbone by those grandchildren."

Separated from Tian and Lin, the matter of relocating the hungry people was arranged by Tian Helin, but it is also a trouble for so many people to maintain order, Qin Yu sent the army in his hand to go around, and he was tired during this time, and he was not as neat as usual when controlling the horse, and at a turn, he almost collided with a carriage, and the carriage was fine, but it was so startled that the passers-by next to him dodged one after another, and several people fell to the ground, one of which was quite familiar, Qin Yu took a closer look, it turned out to be Chen Xinyi.

Qin Yu hurriedly ran off the horse and pulled Chen Xinyi up from the ground.

"Don't, my foot is twisted, it hurts!" Chen Xinyi frowned, and her left foot did not dare to land.

"I'll take you back first."

Chen Xinyi blushed and hugged Qin Yu on horseback.

"Go and call the doctor." Qin Yu hugged Chen Xinyi's leg and ordered Ding Cheng to go directly into the house.

took off Chen Xinyi's shoes and socks, looked at Chen Xinyi Yu Qing's ankles, this time the twist was not light, Chen Xinyi's feet were not fragrant or smelly, but they were unusually white, five chubby toes, very cute, the toenails were bright and transparent, and Qin Yu was a little distracted.

"What do you do?" Chen Xinyi even had a red neck, and her voice buzzed like a mosquito.

"Let's see if you're seriously injured." Qin Yu laughed dryly, and his eyes moved away from Chen Xinyi's feet with some difficulty.

The doctor came over to connect Chen Xinyi's foot, applied medicine and left, but he sprained his foot, which was not a big deal.

However, this time was too busy, and he was really tired, and when the doctor treated Chen Xinyi's injuries just now, Qin Yu actually fell asleep directly on the table next to him.

"Qin Yu, Qin Yu." Chen Xinyi whispered twice, Qin Yu didn't react, looking at Qin Yu who was sleeping deeply, Chen Xinyi couldn't bear to shout again, Chen Xinyi, who was bored sitting on the bed, couldn't help but look at the furnishings in the room, there was a long knife hanging on the wall, a few pairs of shoes under the bed, and military boots. A kettle, a teapot, not very neatly arranged, and a little messy, and the quilt was not folded when I came in. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Chen Xinyi wouldn't have imagined that Qin Yu would be such a big official, but he would actually live quite simply.
