050 Settled in the county seat
The group waited at the gate of the mansion for about a quarter of an hour, and Xu Da came back with a smile, and made a newly-learned OK gesture at Wang.
Looking at it this way, things seem to be going well.
The two families waited for another quarter of an hour or so, and Liu Rong walked out of the mansion, the expression on his face was much gentler than when they first met, and beckoned to the two families:
"Your Excellency is free, come in."
As he spoke, while leading the way in front, he said: "Because you are the first batch of refugees to arrive in Jizhou, Lord Hu Cao is sympathetic, I want to meet you, and remember to salute when I enter the lobby for a while, and you will answer whatever the adults ask, remember not to be rude." ”
This sudden meeting really caught the two families off guard.
However, Xu Yue's family is okay, and they don't have any special resistance to the officials, but they are more curious about what the officials here look like.
The biggest official Wang Dayou has ever seen is the official who is responsible for the township every year, that is, the official who specializes in people, farmland, and taxation, which is equivalent to the grassroots civil servants who do the census in modern times.
It's just that in addition to the census, the upper plan on the Daqing side also conducted an economic census at the same time.
However, in the past two years, the court has been turbulent, and the officials below only come to check the information of previous years once every other year, and at the same time update the data of the latest year, and falsification is a common thing.
In order not to be killed by these officials, Wang Dayou also gave these officials a finely forged knife, which ensured that the village's taxes were not additionally increased.
But compared with Lord Hu Cao, who specializes in managing household registration in a county, that little official is afraid that he can't even compare to Liu Chaye, who is leading the way in front of him.
As soon as he thought that his family was going to meet such a big man, Wang Dayou was very worried in his heart, for fear that if he directly said the wrong word or did one wrong thing at that time, he would be destroyed.
But apparently, he was thinking too much.
They didn't see Tocho-sama himself at all, but met a person who was the equivalent of his deputy and a doorman.
This man was dressed as a scribe, neatly dressed, with a feather crown on his head, and he couldn't tell what kind of official position he was, but Liu Rong was very respectful to him.
After the two families had bowed, the scribe took out a roll of cloth and a pen, dipped it in ink, and began to ask them all kinds of questions.
For example, where did you come from, what is your name, who is in your family, what your ancestors do, where you went on the road, what scenery you have seen, who you have been in contact with, no matter how big or small, I almost asked Xu Da directly what color of the underwear you are wearing today.
When everyone had finished answering one by one, the cloth in his hand was also copied to the brim.
These contents seem to be messy, but they are the latest reports to understand the specific situation of the disaster in Yanzhou.
When he reports it to Lord Hu Cao, and then Lord Hu Cao reports it to the county guard, he can make a big fuss about this matter, so that the people of the world can know that they are really helping refugees in Jizhou, and they are not just shouting empty orders.
Let the people of insight in the world commend it, and let the suffering people in the world yearn for Jizhou.
All in all, it's a great opportunity to get the word out.
The scribe blew the cloth, put the report away, turned around, and smiled at Xu and Wang.
"Okay, go and get a household registration, you will be from Jizhou in the future, with our Yuan Changsheng army, the people will no longer be harassed by the homeless, cultivate well and be a good citizen."
The two families nodded and watched the scribe leave.
Liu Rong bowed in the direction where the scribe had left, and then got up and rushed to Xu Dao: "Just one person from the family, the others are waiting outside." ”
"Oops." Xu Da and Wang Da responded and followed Liu Rong to a small room for household registration.
The documents in it have been written in the household registration book, Xu Dayou and Wang Dayou stepped forward to check the information, and after confirming that it is correct, they can sign and draw it.
Wang Dayou stepped forward and pressed his handprint, Xu Da picked up the pen that was far away, dipped it in black ink and wrote his name on the yellowed paper, Xu Qingyang!
The traditional Chinese characters that I just learned with my daughter, the writing is not good-looking, but it is also neat, and there is a hook between the strokes, as if there is a foundation in the body.
After the words were finished, the pen fell, and both the clerk and Liu Rong looked at Xu Da in surprise.
Can write, apparently read, is a child of a family?
But looking at the clothes, it looks a little sour, more like a down-and-out poor family.
Just this moment, Xu Da felt that the eyes of the people around him had changed and he had become much more respectful.
Liu Rong took a deep breath, the little bit of "look down on, you are not worthy" in his eyes was gone, he treated Xu Da with the same status, and handed him the yellow book of household registration with both hands.
Xu laughed and thanked him, and went out to meet his wife and children with his hot household registration.
"How? Where are we assigned? Wang asked softly.
Xu Da raised his eyebrows proudly, drew a circle in front of him with his fingers, and nodded, "That's it." ”
That's it?
Right in the county seat?
The four of them were a little incredulous, and they all looked at Xu Da, and when they saw him nodding, they couldn't help laughing, they were really happy.
"Daddy, what about us?" The eldest lady of the Wang family saw the happy appearance of the Xu family, and hurriedly ran to Wang Dayou, raised her head and asked him eagerly.
Wang Dayou didn't know it yet, he couldn't read, and he didn't know what was written in the yellow book, but he heard that the document just read the name of his family, and he listened to all of them, so he pressed down his handprint.
At this time, I was asked by my daughter, and I remembered this stubble, so I hurriedly came over with the yellow book and asked Xu Da to help me take a look.
He knew that Xu Da had spent a lot of money to stay in the county, and he didn't expect his family to stay in the city, he just felt that no matter what village it was, he was very happy.
It's just that when Liu Rong collected the money, he thought that the two families were together, so they all gave it together.
Xu Da clicked on the words on the yellow book and read: "Wang Dayou, a person from Hejian County." ”
For a moment, Wang Dayou thought that Hejian County might be the name of a village, but he quickly sobered up from the ecstatic expressions of his wife and daughter.
He looked at Xu Da in surprise and emotion, he really didn't expect that he would help his family together.
"Brother Xu, your kindness, the younger brother can't repay it in this life and this life!" Wang Dayou's eyes were red with excitement, and the six-foot man burst into tears on the spot.
Xu Da raised his eyebrows, this was not what he did, it was Liu Rong who misunderstood.
But since it's a beautiful misunderstanding, let him continue to misunderstand.
Xu Da returned the yellow book of the Wang family to Wang Dayou, told him to put it away carefully, and whispered: "There is still ...... account that has not been settled."
As soon as he started talking, Wang Dayou responded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I will hand over the money to Brother Xu when I turn around." ”
Xu Da nodded solemnly, "My brother is settling accounts, I regard you as my brother, I think you can also understand the intention of being a brother." ”
Wang Dayou was moved: "I understand, I understand." ”
Looking at Xu Da's eyes, there was sincerity.
