At this time, the weather is hot, and there is still a month before the busy farming season, and there are almost no people in the fields, and both men and women like to find a shady place to sit and chat.

Because of this, as soon as the Lu family and his party entered the village, they encountered the attention of many people, and everyone was not very happy on their faces, and asked the official when they had something good: "Official, our village has so many people, why do you still send so many refugees over?" ”

Others chimed in: "Yes, these are all refugees, they are so dirty, and they are all wounded, who knows who they are!" ”

"What if this is sick and harms the people in our village?"

Everyone, you and I will directly block the road, just not let the group continue to move forward.

"Presumptuous! This is the arrangement of the adults, do you want to rebel in the way? ”

The official was a little angry, and as he said that he was about to draw his knife, the villagers were so frightened that they stepped back a little, but their faces were still full of disgust and disgust.

This village is very large, and the people living in it are very mixed, unlike many small villages that often only live in one family with one surname, and there was some friction in the past, but that was all internal, and now in the face of outsiders, they are still consistent with the outside.

The Lu family was very smart not to speak at this time, this matter should be handed over to the official to do, and the county order sent him to lead the way, obviously guessing that the people in Anping Village would resist.

"What about the village chief? Take us to the village chief's house, it's not your turn to take care of the affairs of the village! ”

The official glared at the crowd viciously with a knife, and there was really no one in the crowd shouting and talking.

So many of them are not afraid of a servant with a sword, but the servant is a member of the government, and if they offend the government, there will be no good fruit to eat in the future.

Thinking of this, although some people were still unconvinced, they still took the lead and went to the village chief's house.

This scene was a bit spectacular, most of the people in the village plus the Lu family gathered at the door of the village chief's house, and then someone took the initiative to knock on the door.

The village chief's family was sitting in their own yard to enjoy the coolness, and when they heard the sound, they came out to open the door, and they were still a little stunned when they saw so many people, but when they saw the official and a group of outsiders behind them, they immediately understood their intentions.

"Official, didn't you say before that there are a lot of people in our village, so we won't send people over? This is ...... again"

The village chief was a petty official, and he was better informed than everyone else, and when he knew that King Chen was going to start recruiting refugees, he went to the county government to inquire about the situation, and he remembered that the county magistrate told him so at that time.

"This is the meaning of the state capital, the Lu family is meritorious, don't think about it that you shouldn't have, otherwise it will be traced down from above, and even the county magistrate will not be able to save you!"

The official deliberately made the matter more serious, and the crowd really talked about it, and even the village chief's face changed a little.

The Lu family glanced at each other, knowing in their hearts that life in this village might not be peaceful in the future.

But it doesn't matter, the road has been so difficult, is it possible that you are still afraid of these good people? After a long time, you will definitely be able to be together.

After weighing the pros and cons, the village chief put on a smiling face and took the initiative to say to Old Man Lu: "It turns out that I have made meritorious contributions, since I have come to Anping Village, I am a villager of Anping Village, my name is Wang Yuan, I am the village head of Anping Village, I can come to me for anything in the village, I will definitely deal with it impartially." ”

With the village chief's assurance, the official left with peace of mind, and the villagers didn't dare to say anything more, but still gathered around the door of the village chief's house to watch the excitement.

"Everyone, listen, they will be from our village in the future, so be polite to me! I don't allow you to embarrass their family in private, just now the official also said that they have made meritorious contributions, if there is anything wrong in the village, I can't spare you! ”

Everyone didn't speak, and they were holding their breath in their hearts.

No one made a sound for a long time, and the village chief lost his temper: "Did you hear it?" ”

The crowd still didn't answer, and someone said, "There is little land in our village, and there are so many of them, how should this land be divided?" You can't give up our own fields, can you? Then I'm the first to disagree! ”

Croppers, what they care about most is land, originally because there are many people in the village, the per capita land is not very much, if this is distributed to others, even if the prefect himself comes, they are unwilling.

The village chief glared at the man, but he also knew that everyone wanted to know how to deal with this matter, so he said: "What should be yours is yours, no one can take it away, if they want, they can naturally buy it from you." ”

This is to tell the villagers, and at the same time, to inform the Lu family that the village will not give land distribution.

At this moment, the villagers were satisfied, but the Lu family couldn't laugh at all, they wanted land to buy, but where did they get so much money?

Could it be that they came to this village, is it really wrong?

In the crowd, He Jiuniang and Sun were quite calm, Sun felt that now that the family had money, even if it was necessary to spend money to buy it, but He Jiuniang felt that even if she didn't have land, she could still live, so she didn't panic at all.

Cui'er quietly tugged at He Jiuniang's sleeve, with a request in her eyes, wanting her to think of a way.

After all, everyone listened to her along the way.

He Jiuniang is very distressed, she is unwilling to be this leader, but who makes herself prestigious?

So, she cleared her throat and asked the village chief, "Village chief, if there is no land for us in the village, can we go to the nearby mountains to open up wasteland?" ”

Anyway, the mountain is not far away, as long as these people are willing to go, they will definitely not starve to death.

The village chief didn't expect her to think of these things, so he said: "Naturally, you can, but some of the land on the nearby mountains has been opened, and if you go now, I'm afraid there won't be any good land." ”

He Jiuniang smiled: "It's okay, you can get better if you raise it hard for three or five years." ”

The people of Anping Village think that she is a fool's dream, the mountains are barren like that, and sometimes there is no way to irrigate, how can it be possible to grow food in such a place?

But the people on the Lu family's side exhaled, something is better than nothing, not to mention that they believe He Jiuniang's words.

When the village chief saw that they didn't mess around and wanted to divide the land, his attitude was much better, and he drove away all the onlookers in a few sentences, and let a group of them discuss the matter of accommodation in his yard.

The village chief still has his family at home, and the small courtyard is suddenly crowded, but fortunately, everyone can find a place to stand under the eaves and not get too sunny.

"That's right," the village chief spoke, "the matter of land, you have just heard, you can only buy it yourself, whether it is with the people of the village or with the rich landlord, it is your own business, I can't control it here." ”

Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

The village chief said: "As for the place to live, there are a few empty houses in the village, but they are in disrepair and cannot be inhabited for the time being, so you have to repair them yourself, of course, the house is not directly for you to live in, the house is currently shared in the village, you want to move in, you can spend money to rent it, or buy it directly." ”
