Chapter 36: Divide the House

Fortunately, the robbers on the road and the people from Stone Village all came in, and the homeless people who came with them only paid part of the money, and most of them could only watch dryly.

Shen Hong and the others didn't expect Xu Tiansheng to come in, and the family was a little farther away, so they didn't see it.

Shen Cui's eyes stared at this bustling and lively city, and there was a sense of excitement in her heart, Xu Tiansheng was no longer worthy of her, and she Shen Cui was bound to become a master.

In a short time, the leader of an officer and soldier came, and the person in charge of collecting the money gave him part of the money, and then everyone followed him to the entrance of the yamen office.

Due to the large number of people, everyone had to queue up again?

The officer in charge was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing an official uniform, who did not seem to have woken up, but after receiving the money handed over by the leader of the soldiers, he was a little more energetic.

"You're all here from the north?"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged official glanced out from afar, his brows furrowed slightly, there were too many people, and the previously vacant village was full yesterday.

He couldn't help but scold those guys who defended the city in his heart, only looked at the money, and didn't consider the actual situation, and threw all the problems to him

He raised his head, looked at the leader of the guards, and couldn't help but complain, "What do you think, didn't you say it before, it's already ......?"

"Ahem!"

The soldier stopped him from continuing and whispered, "Our adults said, isn't there still a Longan County to the west of Shuiyun City, isn't there an empty village in Longan County!" ”

"Ah, the empty village?"

The official looked puzzled and suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, "That?" ”

"My lord already knows that he is here, since this is the case, I will go back to my life first!"

"Oh, I forgot to say it, our lord has already informed the prefect of this matter, so you don't have to run again!"

A few soldiers threw down a sentence, which made the official frown, and looked at the silver coins, feeling a little hot.

"That's it, let them go to Long An County!"

After accepting the money, the official sent a few officials and instructed them to take people to Longan County, which is under the jurisdiction of Shuiyun City.

Then the people followed the officials out of the city and went to Longan County in the west, but because the road was long and it was not possible, they arrived early the next morning.

When the county magistrate of Long An County heard that these people were going to be placed in that empty village, they were immediately frightened.

"Ah, I heard you right, they all settled in that empty village?"

In the yamen, the person in charge of handling the settlement matter was also surprised, he just wanted to speak, but was frightened by the fierce eyes of several officials.

They represent the government of Shuiyun City, and they can't afford to offend.

Immediately, without saying a word, the names and information of all the people in Stone Village were registered, and then sealed.

Even if the formalities have been completed, the yamen will send officials to distribute the yellow book to the displaced individuals in a few days.

After going through the settlement procedures, the head of the official went to the county magistrate to talk to them and warn them before leading the team to leave.

The county magistrate was suddenly frightened, where did he dare to go against the prefect, and he hurriedly promised again and again that he would send people away like a god.

After sending off the officers and soldiers, the county commander called over a few officials, whispered some advice, and led everyone on the road.

Song Jinyue was observant, although she couldn't hear what these people were saying, but she intuitively went to the empty village was not a good place.

Looking at the others, they were still unconscious, with an excited look, and they couldn't say anything, they only told their own thoughts with their own family, and Mrs. Song and the others felt that she was thinking too much.

Soon, I arrived at the empty village, and the road sign at the entrance of the village was engraved with the three big characters of "Ping'an Village".

"Why don't there be a single family in this five-mile radius!" Liu Guisheng hesitated for a long time before he suddenly spoke.

"In the previous war, everyone was killed!"

One sentence made everyone's back feel cold, compared to them, they were so lucky.

"I won't say anything superfluous, I'll give you a house first!"

Subsequently, several officials took the register and divided the houses among the people, and those with a large population were given a larger house, and those with a small population were given a smaller house.

In fact, there are many houses in each family, but there are many houses in the village, and if there is not enough one, there will be two.

Everyone was noisy and shouted, and they chose their own friends as neighbors, and the yacha was also left to them, and this was originally a large village, with more than 300 houses, and the surrounding land was fertile, if it were not for some circumstances, these villagers would not have been able to take their turn.

The Song family and Liu Guisheng and other four families who were good friends became neighbors, with the Song family in the middle, and the other four families on the left and right.

They pondered that the Song family was very old, weak, sick and disabled, and it was most suitable to be in the middle position, and it was convenient for others to rush over if there was any emergency.

The Song family is warm in their hearts, their family is harmonious, and now there are friendly neighbors, it's not too good!

After dividing the house, the yacha told everyone about some of the policies issued by the imperial court now, considering the war and natural disasters this year, they will not be charged any taxes for the time being this year, and in the spring of the next year, they only need to plant the fields distributed to them, and then pay taxes according to the actual situation.

"I don't have to pay taxes this year, is that true?"

"Naturally, it's true!"

"That's great!"

Along the way, everyone's biggest concern was the issue of taxes, and now that this concern is gone, everyone feels very happy.

"Okay, it's not too early, we have to go back to our lives, let's go first!"

The officials did not dare to stay here longer, so they hurriedly took their leave and left after a few words of advice.

"It should have been like this a long time ago, and I wouldn't have ruined my family!"

A homeless man who had paid the money hugged his head and cried loudly, and his emotions soon infected more people.

The people of Stone Village were slightly better, and they returned to their respective houses.

Song Hailong opened the unlocked door, and a large amount of dust rushed inside.

"Ahem!"

"It's too dirty, let's clean it up first!"

Song Jinyue pinched her nose and looked at the cobwebs in the house, it was estimated that no one had lived in it for a long time, and it had only been a month since the enemy army entered the city, how could it be dirty like this, she was suspicious in her heart.

His eyes swept over the corner, and he happened to have a broom and took it.

Mrs. Song tore some moldy quilts as rags, and Song Hailong and Song Haitao went out with a bucket to fetch water.

There was a well in the center of the village, and when the Song Hailong brothers went over, the well was surrounded by people.

"I don't think we will be able to get in line for a while, so let's go to the river outside the village to get some water first!"

Song Hailong frowned and said, when everyone finishes fetching water tomorrow, it is estimated that the situation will be a little better.

"That's all there is to it!"

Song Haitao nodded, and then the brothers left the team and walked outside the village, where others saw and some followed.

However, as soon as they walked out of the village, they saw someone running back in a panic.
