Chapter XXIII: Population
Qin Zhen's words were like an imperceptible light in the gloom, illuminating the despair shrouded in sadness.
"But there are not enough houses in the village, you have to build your own houses, of course, we will help you."
He changed his words: "Of course, everything has a price, and there are no idlers left in small fishing villages. ”
"Choosing to stay in a small fishing village means that you need to work hard to build the village. I will arrange suitable work for you, and you will only need to complete it to get food, clothing, and payment......"
Looking at Qin Zhen, who was talking, Chen Shu asked in a deep voice.
"How did he convince the village chief?"
The corners of Liu Quan's mouth twitched slightly, and he covered his forehead with one hand, and said.
"He told my father that if the population of the village exceeds 1,000, he will be able to report to the county Yati Town, and my father will be the mayor of the town at that time; After waiting for 10,000 people, my father is the county magistrate. ”
"The village chief has a letter?" Chen Shu was shocked.
"My father's dream in this life is to be a county magistrate." Liu Quan sighed.
Chen Shu squinted, and only after a long time did he say something meaningful.
"There are a lot of people, and it's really easy to get things done."
Qin Zhen's words attracted everyone's attention, not only the outsiders, but also the villagers of the small fishing village who gathered around to listen to Qin Zhen's speech.
"Arrange work? Don't you want us to be slaves?! The Taoist priest Shanhai was malicious, obviously for the beating last night, and he was angry: "Your special code is really a black village!" co-authored yesterday to give us porridge to eat, it's a joke! You're finally showing your true face today, right?! ”
"Have you ever seen a bitter slave who eats porridge?" Qin Zhen asked rhetorically.
The mountains and seas suddenly became dumbfounded.
They have all become bitter slaves, how can they still eat? Not to mention the porridge, the turf is not eaten!
Miaoyun Daogu glared at Shanhai and asked, "Dare to ask Little Brother Qin, what exactly do you mean by the job?" ”
It's always good to have a place to rest, but only if it's not a wolf's den.
Miaoyun's problem is also the most concerned issue for these displaced people.
If Qin Zhen wanted them to do some dangerous work, then they might as well continue to go into exile.
"Yesterday, I discussed with the village chief, and based on your actual situation and the current needs of the small fishing village, it can be divided into four categories for the time being."
"As you must have seen, our village has a village guard, a fishing team, a textile team, and a wasteland clearing team."
"Those who have the strength and courage can join the village guard or the fishing team, the former guarding the village, and the latter going out to fish; Women with less strength can join the weaving team and make silk cloth; If you don't want to do any of the above three, you can go to the wasteland team, repair the village, and cultivate the wasteland. ”
Speaking of this, Qin Zhen paused and threw out a temptation that the homeless people did not expect.
"Whoever is willing to work will be paid for his meal."
In the year of the catastrophe, it is already a luxury for the poor to have a full meal, not to mention the wages they get? It's a great thing you've never heard of!
"Little brother, is what you said true?!" A ragged woman stood up, her desperate eyes, which had been tormented for many years, glinted with fervent anticipation for the first time.
"It must be fake!" Shanhai spoke again, he didn't believe in such a good thing at all: "This kid must have deceived us!" You want to try to trick us into selling in the ravines! In these years, bald donkeys have robbed houses, can there still be living bodhisattvas? ”
The homeless people echoed one after another, and their eyes looking at Qin Zhen also became vigilant and hostile.
"I'm not going to lie." Qin Zhen didn't explain, but stood on the stage and said indifferently: "If you want to stay, come to me to sign up, if you don't want to stay, just leave!" ”
He is not a virgin and does not bother to speak to doubters.
In the face of those who are self-righteous, he usually gives up the helping complex and respects the fate of others.
Now, on the contrary, these homeless people are not sure of their minds.
"If I stay now, can I leave in the future?" Miaoyun Daogu suddenly spoke, revealing the crux of the problem.
"Of course."
Qin Zhen should have said: "I didn't sign a deed of sale for you, so naturally I can leave if I want to, but it's easy to go, and it's difficult to come back again." ”
At this time, Miaoyun did not understand the deep meaning of Qin Zhen's words.
She thought, since she can leave if she wants, why don't you stay and see how it goes?
Although her contact with Qin Zhen was only a short night, more than 30 years of experience told her that Qin Zhen should not be a bad person.
Although Qin Zhen's eyebrows were cold and ruthless, he could treat innocent children with tenderness from his heart, and he couldn't fake it.
"Then I'll stay!" Miaoyun Daogu immediately said.
"Senior sister!" The mountains and seas are in a hurry.
On the contrary to Miaoyun, he felt that Qin Zhen was definitely not a good person!
"If we don't stay, where else can we go?" Miaoyun Daogu sighed.
The Taoist temple is gone, the master is gone, and there is nowhere to call home.
Instead of wandering aimlessly like a lonely ghost, it is better to find a place to live.
Shanhai still wanted to argue, but Miaoyun frowned slightly: "Do you remember what the county lord did when we passed by the county seat?" ”
The good relief grain was replaced by the county lord with sand.
The county lord was reluctant to give them a grain of rice to these refugees who had nowhere to return, but Qin Zhen was willing to feed them a bowl of porridge! Based on this alone, the dissatisfaction of Shanhai Tianda must also be suppressed and shown to be grateful!
Shanhai finally lowered his head: "Actually, Senior Sister stays, then I will stay too!" I want to see what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd in Qin Town! ”
Miaoyun Daogu obviously has a high prestige among the homeless, and starting with her, the vast majority of homeless people are willing to stay.
There are also a very small number of people who choose to leave.
Qin Zhen immediately began to register the displaced people who remained, and then began to distribute.
"Can we choose for ourselves?" Miaoyun asked again.
"Of course, I'll explain to you in advance that the village guards are to protect the safety of the village, and if you encounter a beast, a bandit or something, you have to copy the guys! In addition, they are also responsible for the security of the village, and they are also responsible for theft and injury. ”
Qin Zhen pointed at Chen Shu: "This is Chen Shu, and he is in charge of the village guards." ”
"Humph!" Shan Hai snorted coldly, obviously with a big temper.
Qin Zhen didn't care either, and continued to introduce.
"And the fishing team is out fishing, and from here to the east, there is the sea on a mountain road of more than ten miles, and there is our main position; In addition, if there are bandits, the fishing team will have to copy the guy and follow him. He paused: "Liu Quan is in charge of this piece." ”
Liu Quan waved his hand at everyone, his face full of smirks.
"I have a textile factory, there are more than a dozen textile wheels, weaving cloth is the work of the textile team, the current textile vehicles are limited, will gradually expand in the future, the output of cloth will be collected by special people, part of which is your wages." Qin Zhen pointed at himself: "This, I am in charge for the time being." ”
Qin Zhen had already thought about it, and after Lin San paved the road and everything was on the right track, he handed over the textile team to Liu Juan.
"Does the Textile Team need to fight bandits?" Miaoyun raised her hand and asked.
The look of curiosity is somewhat cute.
And Qin Zhen's answer is also very interesting.
"Before the man dies, you just hide."
"As for the reclamation team, to put it bluntly, they do odd jobs, ploughing and felling, picking and repairing, and so on."
"And the reclamation team is in charge of our most beloved village elder."
