Chapter 141 Buying a house and settling in Hongliutun!
Hongliutun is a military camp. It is used for farming when the farm is busy and for training when it is not busy. When it snows for the first time in summer, the soldiers in the camp stop cultivating. They clear the snow in the morning and store firewood for the winter. After finishing the chores in the afternoon, they squeeze in time to train the troops.
If you want to live a good life, you can't take a break. If you take a day off, there may be less fire at home. In winter in Dongchuan, even if you don't light a fire, you can still freeze to death!
Wood Commander Zhang Liao got up as usual. The first thing he did was to ask his mother-in-law if there was enough firewood to burn. There were good people and children at home, so don't save.
"That's enough. Don't go too far to collect firewood. There are many tigers and hungry wolves on the mountain. It's too dangerous!" Wang said with a worried look.
She would rather have less fire at home than have her man be frightened when he goes into the mountains!
“I won’t tell you anymore, and you won’t understand even if I tell you.” Zhang Liao said as he put on his cotton coat. The cotton coat was wrapped with a layer of wolfskin kneepads, a wolfskin waistcoat, and gloves.
Looking at the four frayed fingers on one glove, Zhang Liao sighed silently.
Just as I was about to sit up, I suddenly heard a quarrel outside.
“Damn, they’re all so energetic, and they’re all going to go up the mountain to collect firewood for me when they’re full!” Zhang Liao clapped his gloves angrily and walked out the door.
When the Shen family was surrounded and about to be beaten, Zhang Liao opened the door and came out.
Hey, these people are not from Hongliutun.
"You are nobody. Why are you shouting at my door so early in the morning?" Zhang Liaohu walked over with a face on his face.
Wang, who was following behind, saw so many unfamiliar faces and hurriedly called for someone.
Liu Yan stopped watching the excitement and walked towards Zhang Liao.
"We were arranged here by the county, and this is our household registration." Liu Yanhui showed Zhang Liao the household registrations of herself and her family members.
Zhang Liao didn't know many words, but he knew the county seal.
He frowned and said hesitantly: "Are you exiled prisoners?"
Liu Yan smiled back as an answer.
No wonder Zhang Liao guessed right. One-third of the population of Hongliutun was exiled here.
But these people are different from those prisoners. The prisoners who were exiled here before were all sent to the army. The household registration says they are indeed farmers!
Usually he accepted many prisoners who were exiled from the army, so the household registration of the exiled army and the household registration of the farmers can still be distinguished!
"Who brought you here?" Something was obviously wrong with these people. As the biggest official in Hongliu Tun, Zhang Liao naturally wanted to intervene.
Liu Yan replied: "It was the county government officer who brought us here. Something happened in the county government office. After the government officer hurriedly arranged for us, he hurried back!"
Zhang Liao knew what happened to the county government. Baihe County is not a big place, but if something happens to the government, the whole county will know about it within a day.
Zhang Liao returned the household registration to Liu Yan.
"Okay, since you have joined our Hongliu Village, you are from Hongliu Village. We are all military households here, and everything must be done according to the rules of the army. Do you all understand?" Zhang Liao said coldly. His face swept across everyone!
Liu Yan nodded back: "Our family will definitely obey the management!"
When Zhang Liao heard what he said, he nodded with satisfaction, and then turned to the other prisoners.
Others followed in twos and threes: "We also obey the management!"
Zhang Liao nodded expressionlessly: "I'll give you three days to settle down. After three days, the men in the family who are over fifteen years old will go up the mountain with us to collect firewood!"
Liu Yan replied: "Mr. Zhang, There are only three houses in the county for us people, and there is too much room for us. Can we buy some unoccupied houses in the village?"
Zhang Liao looked at Liu Yanhui with a strange look. : "You want to spend money to buy it?"
Others also took the opportunity to say: "We want to buy it too!"
Shen Yuanjing: "We also want to buy it." Zhang Liao frowned, these people want to resettle Is all the money clean? Seeing that each of them had clean and rosy faces and wore warm clothes, they must have brought enough money.
After thinking about this, Zhang Liao's face immediately improved a lot.
There are many vacant houses in Hongliutun. If these people are not short of money, it would be a good idea to sell them to them. Just use that money to buy more food!
"Okay, you guys wait for me here!"
As soon as Zhang Liao wanted to take people to see the house, Wang came with many people.
The garrison soldiers were all strong and strong, and they stood in front of Zhang Liao's house with an imposing manner.
The prisoners did not dare to breathe loudly, and whispered to Liu Yan to come back.
After listening to Zhang Liao's words, the soldiers all relaxed a lot.
How can these be prisoners? They are simply the God of Wealth!
"Brother Zhang, there are many vacant houses next to my house. The roofs are not leaking, but some of the walls have fallen down!"
"There are also several vacant houses near my house, which are built with stones. , It’s very sturdy, this is a good house!”
The meaning is obvious, good houses are more expensive, and bad houses are cheaper!
The three houses allocated by the county government have no roofs, so there is no way to live in them.
These people must be settled before the morning!
"Put your things here first. No one dares to touch your things until I tell you!"
"Go and look at the house with me now."
After Zhang Liao finished arranging the house, he also asked his men to go collect firewood as soon as they had eaten and drank.
"There are three vacant houses here. The roofs are all good, but the courtyard walls are falling down. The stoves and kangs are quite good, and the yard is big. Anyone who wants to pay eight taels can do it!"
No one said anything. Zhang Liao looked a little bad and cursed secretly that he had thought wrong. These are poor people who have no money to buy a good house!
“This one has a good roof and walls, a big yard, a bluestone slab on the ground, and a well in the yard. Twenty…fifteen taels, maybe!”
These people can't even afford eight taels, and fifteen taels is probably enough!
Liu Yan replied: "Write this down first. If there is nothing better than this later, it will be this!"
Zhang Liao was shocked, and rolled his eyes. After a long time, people looked down upon him. ah!
He grinned. If you like good houses, you have to tell me before. There are many good houses built with stone in Hongliutun. They are all strong and durable, and the walls are high!
“Let’s go, let me show you somewhere else!”
After walking for a while, Zhang Liao took them to a row of stone houses.
"These are good houses. If it weren't for... I definitely wouldn't sell them to you!" Zhang Liao didn't say much, opened the door and led them in.
“There are tables, chairs and benches inside, there are many houses, there is no leakage on the roof, the yard is also big, and there is a well ten meters away from the door. If I hadn’t been in love with the nest, I would have moved with my family long ago Came here. ”
The place is very good, the key is that it is very clean, as if someone cleans it frequently.
“How much?”
Zhang Liao opened his mouth and made a three sign.
“It’s not my fault, this house can’t collapse even if it snows heavily!” After saying this, he pursed his lips a little guiltily!
Liu Yan replied: "Okay, let's count one here, and then go look elsewhere!"
After Zhang Liao took Liu Yan back to see three stone houses in succession, he was puzzled.
“You want more?”
The house we booked is overcrowded for these people!
