"You guys just wait here, I'll go in and do the handover."

Hu Dazhi explained, and then took the documents and entered the county office.

The villagers who fled behind were also represented by their clan elders and village heads, and entered the yamen with everyone's household registration to handle the settlement matters.

About three quarters of an hour later, Hu Dazhi and the clan elder walked out.

"After the household registration is completed, you can take this to Baiyun Village in Pingsha Town to find the village chief."

While Hu Dazhi was talking, he distributed everyone's newly handled household registration to everyone.

Fortunately, the emperor did not exile the Song family to the border as a military household, otherwise the Song family men would have to bear the identity of a military household for the rest of their lives, which is the most humble identity.

But if you think about it, you can understand that no matter how stupid the current one is, he will not let the Song family get in touch with the military again, after all, the Song family has been a military general for generations, and the one who is already afraid of the Song family's military power and ability, how can he let the man of the Song family enter the military camp?

In Eastern Chu, there are only two ways of exile, one is to act as a military household, and if there is any battle, it will be the first to be pushed out to block the enemy and kill the enemy, and the other is to be exiled to the bitter cold land.

Exile to sparsely populated areas, the imperial court believed that this punishment would not only punish criminals well, but also increase the number of people in remote areas and make them repent of their years of hard work.

This kind of exile has no forced labor, it is relatively free and easy, at least no one is always guarding the side, but without the recall of the Holy Decree, the prisoners will not be able to leave the penal colony for the rest of their lives.

In other words, they can only operate in the boundary of Pingsha Town, where they have settled, and once they leave, they will be regarded as disrespectful to the will, and if they are caught, they will be killed directly.

But compared to the previous punishment method, this method of exile trapped in a small place is much better, thanks to the Song family's status as military generals, otherwise their family will definitely be used as a military household, the men are fine, that is, manual work, but the female dependents will suffer a lot.

"I'm tired." Song Shaoqin took over his family's new household registration.

Xia Ning leaned over curiously, "What about mine?" ”

Song Shaoqin found Xia Ning's new household registration and handed it to her, taking advantage of this opportunity to handle the household registration in a unified manner, he specially asked Hu Dazhi to help Ning Ning also apply for an identity certificate when he handed over.

Of course, her household registration is spent money to get down, after all, she has no family roots at all in this era, and she will have to live in this era in the future, so she must also need an identity household registration.

In the Eastern Chu government, the control of household registration is still very strict, and if there is no household registration information when the identity is checked, it will definitely be arrested as a spy of the enemy country.

But fortunately, unlike the modern era with the development of network information, the information registration is not perfect, and there are many loopholes that can be drilled, for example, as long as you have money and connections, you can find people in the official office, and you can find a new household registration from the beginning.

"I'll take a look."

Xia Ning was very curious about her 'ID card' in ancient times, and took the so-called household registration and carefully studied it.

This household registration is also a waist card made of some kind of wood, the appearance is shaped like a fish, also called the 'fish charm', divided into two pieces on the left and right, and a small hole is chiseled in order to tie it.

The waist card is engraved with a seal in the middle, and the right half of the line is like the word "longevity", which should be an auspicious word, and the other side is engraved with the name and settlement information of the licensee.

Anyway, it looks like the same thing.

"Master Song, let's go first, see you tomorrow on the outskirts of the city."

The clan elder and the village chief came to the Song family and said goodbye to the Song father who was the leader, at this time the sky was getting dark, and they had to go out of the city as soon as possible to find a place to stay, otherwise it would be difficult to walk when it was completely dark.

To be honest, before this, they didn't know that these people were actually prisoners exiled by the imperial court, and when they met them from the beginning, they thought that some powerful family was moving their families, and for the safety of the road, they specially arranged for officials to escort them.

After all, they didn't have any chains and shackles, they were very well-dressed, and most importantly, the car they were driving in was simply unheard of, and their jaws dropped at the time.

The whole team could see that there were two or three branches, but it could also be seen that they were all headed by one of the families, and it was not until they were about to apply for household registration that they learned that this team was actually an escort team.

Through the contact and observation in the past few days, they are not stupid, and it can be seen that these officials have a very good relationship with those so-called prisoners, and even have a faint feeling that the Song family is the leader.

Besides, who has ever seen an exile like them? There are strange cars to ride, and there are cars full of supplies and retinues, and there is no trace of the misery and despair of exile.

Obviously, there is something inside this, but they are just ordinary people who farm the land, and some things are still not known, so they are also interested in not asking too much.

Moreover, in the past few days of contact, these prisoners have given them the feeling that they are not bad people at all, compared to those bandits, these people can be called good people.

Especially the Song family, at first, they also boiled hot porridge to warm their bodies, and they would give snacks to the children in private, and when facing them, there was no disdain in their eyes, and their attitude was very friendly.

What kind of bad person can such a person be?

What about exiles? At least these people never harmed them, on the contrary, they still had some kindness to them, so even if they knew their identity as criminals, the clan elder and the village chief still decided to follow them to settle in Baiyun Village.

People like the Song family, even if they fall into such a situation today, they are also characters they can't climb, not to mention that in their opinion, characters like the Song family will sooner or later turn over and rise to the top.

All in all, following such a character is a blessing for their whole village!

"Okay, see you two tomorrow." Father Song admittedly returned the salute.

If it is too late today, they have decided to stay at the inn in the county seat tonight, and their group will go to Baiyun Village to report early tomorrow morning, and Hu Dazhi and his party will also return to the capital to resume their lives.

Staying at the inn tonight can be regarded as a practice for their group.

As for the villagers who fled? He also knew that their conditions were limited, and it was difficult to ask them to follow the guest house, after all, the money of the guest house was also a lot of money for them.

With the conditions of their Song family, they can indeed pay for their houses, but they don't have this idea, they are not bodhisattvas who help the world, even if they want to help people, it depends on the situation, not everything, they don't have the heart of a bodhisattva to benefit all sentient beings.
