Volume 1 Chapter 50 Shuiluo Village, Yongding County
Xu Danian tried to calm himself down, and replied to Zhao Ting's words with a little stammering.
"But all the way down, the biggest contribution is the elder brother's family and my Xu family's brother Xu Dalei's family, these two are the second son of the clan brother Xu Wen and the second grandson of the family Xu Yunqing, the two fathers and sons, one is Xiucai, and the other is Tongsheng."
Xu Danian introduced Xu Wen and his son to Zhao Ting again.
"Students have seen adults."
The two fathers and sons made a student salute to Zhao Ting at the same time, Daqi respects scholars, and those who have meritorious names do not need to bow down when they see officials, and they can also call themselves students.
"The two of you don't need to be polite, I heard from the guards who came to deliver the message that Brother Xu's family took care of Zhao Jin a lot along the way, I want to thank your family, Zhao Jin's kid can still listen to you, your words are more effective than my eldest brother hahaha."
Zhao Ting said to Xu Wen jokingly.
"Although Zhao Jin is usually a little lazy, he is kind, sincere, generous and enthusiastic, and he is a rare friend, and it is also a blessing for students to have this friend, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other with friends, and it is not worth being an adult to thank him."
Zhao Jin's face suddenly stopped hurting when he heard Xu Wen's evaluation of himself, and he looked at Xu Wen with a pair of moved eyes.
Take a look, this is called brother, but it's not like his eldest brother, who will beat him since he was a child and won't praise him, but fortunately I went to the north to meet Brother Xu, woo woo.
"Although the Holy Lord has not yet issued a decree to resettle the disaster victims in the prefecture city, I have already handed the fold to the saint and asked the saint to allow me to resettle the first batch of disaster victims in Jiujiang Prefecture, and you can choose which county to settle down."
Zhao Ting introduced them to the next two counties, one is Dawan Village in Baisha County.
Dawan Village is by the river, and the residents are all houses built against the river, so it is called Dawan Village.
Dawan Village is far away from Fucheng, but the terrain is open, and the resettlement cost is not high.
The other is Shuiluo Village in Yongding County, which is a newly carved out village in Jiujiang Prefecture, and it is a place that Zhao Ting found after looking for a long time.
Shuiluo Village is close to Fucheng, transportation and water are very convenient, and the land is quite fertile, but it still needs to be cultivated by itself, and the resettlement cost is one or two silver higher than that of Dawan Village.
Zhao Ting asked everyone to discuss which village to settle in, and tomorrow he would ask the master to come and pick them up with the master of the county government.
Zhao Ting took Zhao Jin's family away, and when he left, he also asked the Xu family to come to Fucheng after settling down, and then he would entertain them well.
After Zhao Ting and the others left, the team was stationed at the gate of the city, and Xu Danian called the people in charge of each family to discuss the whereabouts.
"Uncle village chief, I'll say it first, I want to settle down in Shuiluo Village, we can't fish, Dawan Village doesn't have any good land, far away from the county town, even if the resettlement fee is low, you can't plant when you stabilize it in the future, you can't fish, it will take a long time to go out to work before you can go home, it's not cost-effective, we might as well be in Shuiluo Village, although the resettlement fee is one or two higher, but we can farm in the future, and we can also go to the city to work when the farm is slack, which is very convenient."
"Yes, yes, Uncle Village Chief, we also think so, in the long run, it will definitely be better in Shuiluo Village, and we still have nearly twenty taels of silver from fighting bandits, and each family has a little money to spare, when the time comes, it will cost seven or eight taels to build a house, and it will only be ten taels of silver when it is settled, and there are still ten taels left, which is much more generous than before."
Before Xu Danian could ask for their opinions, the villagers had decided.
Yes, there is no need to persuade them, he also thinks that going to Shuiluo Village is the best choice.
"Since you have all decided, then we will wait for the master of Yongding County to pick us up tomorrow, go to Shuiluo Village as soon as possible, first build a few simple wooden houses in Shuiluo Village for the New Year, and immediately find someone to build a house after the New Year, and then open up the wasteland and farm."
There are still a few days left for the Chinese New Year, and they will definitely not be able to build a house before the year, so they have to use these few days to get a house that can shelter from the wind and rain as soon as possible.
"yes, we finally have a home!"
Hearing Xu Danian's words, the people in the team burst out with joy and excitement, and finally, they were about to end the days of sleeping in the wild day and night, everyone was crying with joy, even Xu Yunjin was very happy in his heart.
The next morning, the master of Fucheng came with the master of the two counties, and everyone had already packed up their things and waited, and the master knew that everyone's choice was not surprising, so the master of Yongding County took the people away.
An hour later, everyone stopped at the boundary of Shuiluo Village, and the people of Liujia Village next to them all came out of the house when they heard the movement.
Looking at the big team with big bags and small bags, they were all stunned, is this a refugee from the north? It's not very dejecting to look at!
The master asked them to put their things away, and then took Xu Danian and Xu Wen to Liujia Village, which was separated by a road between the two villages.
The master has a lot of respect for Xu Wen and the others, after all, a showman, he is already a child at a young age, and he is just a showman, so when he came here, the master was not in a hurry to leave.
"Village Chief Liu, this is the new disaster victims who moved here, and their village will be called Shuiluo Village in the future, this is Xu Danian, the village chief of Shuiluo Village, this is his nephew Xu Wen, you will live next to each other in the future, you must help each other, restrain the people in the village, don't go to their trouble, and then they may ask you to help in building houses and opening up wasteland, and then your village people can also earn some household money."
After the master introduced the three of them to the village chief Liu, he left in the car.
"Village Chief Xu, fortunately, our two villages will be neighbors in the future, although our village usually has the rat feces that spoiled the porridge, but the vast majority of the villagers are still good, we will help each other in the future and get along well."
Village Chief Liu saw that the master had a good attitude towards them, and he understood that there were some capable people in this village, so he didn't dare to despise these people who fled from their hometowns, and gave them vaccinations, after all, there are several annoying people in their village.
"Nothing to do, Village Chief Liu is polite, saying that every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and there are people in our village who are not usually obedient to discipline, hahaha, please forgive me in the future, we will go to cut down trees and set up tents first, and after the year, we need Village Chief Liu to help us find a few people who can work to help us build up the house, of course, the salary will not be less, hahaha."
Xu Danian has also been the village chief for so many years, so he naturally knows how to deal with people, so good words are also a basket of jumping out.
Then the two went back to the territory of Shuiluo Village, and each family set up a tent in the open space, and after boiling water and drinking some hot water, the young adults of each family took axes and firewood knives and went up the mountain, cut wood and built houses.
In the evening, the Xu family sat by the fire and ate, and the old man Xu looked at the piles of people around him, and couldn't help sighing:
"Hey, although this southerner is brilliant, but when I think that we will be southerners in the future, I still feel a little uncomfortable."
"I said you old man, what's so embarrassing. Isn't it good that the family is good, neat and tidy, I think this southern mountain and water is beautiful, and if you can settle here, future generations will have a better life than we did then. ”
Zhang sandwiched a piece of meat and put it into Old Man Xu's bowl, and listened to his helpless tone.
Old man Xu ...... in his heart Yes, his daughter-in-law still likes to choke herself as always, and when she was young, she didn't just like her straightforward nature to let her parents propose.
Looking at the two old men's eyebrows, everyone at the dinner table laughed, but they didn't say anything and finished the meal quietly.
