Chapter 67 Settling in
With the tokens given by Jianghuai, all the villagers settled in without much effort, and everyone was assigned together.
After hearing the news, everyone was very happy, and their hearts that had been hanging around for several months finally fell to the ground.
It would be best not to separate. It would be too difficult for outsiders like them to integrate into other villages.
Not only will you be ostracized, but you may also be bullied by the ruffians.
Holding the household registration documents in their hands, the villagers shed tears of joy.
They finally have a place to settle down. They have been away from their hometown for more than two months and the people around them have left, which makes them feel uneasy.
Now it's finally good. This time, it didn't cost half a copper to settle down. The government also distributed five kilograms of grain to each of them, and each household was also allocated five acres of land.
The group of people left the city in a mighty manner and headed for the village where they were resettled.
The village they went to was called Yuhe Village.
Looking at the empty wasteland in front of them and the endless, lush mountains not far away, the villagers all shed tears.
This will be their home from now on.
“This is the place you have been assigned to.”
The head of Yuhe Village said, pointing to a large piece of wasteland in front of him.
“Not far from here, there are a group of old houses. Although they are a little dilapidated, they can still be lived in after being tidied up.”
The village chief pointed to another place and said that that place was an old house in the village. Over the years, those who could afford it had moved to other places to build houses.
Except for those idlers who still live there, most of the old houses are vacant.
"I won't charge you too much. One yard only costs 300 copper coins a month."
When the village chief said this, everyone had no objection.
"When you are all settled, come to me with your household registration documents. I will take you to receive relief grains and apply for the land deeds assigned to you." The village chief paused and then continued:
"If you want land but don't have the money to buy it, you can open up land at the foot of the mountain, and it's yours to open as much land as you want.
The King of Huainan is kind and will not collect taxes for the first three years. , As long as you work harder, you won’t starve to death.”
Huainan Prefecture occupies a very large area, and there are treasure mountains in it, but no one is mining it. This is why Huainan Prefecture is willing to resettle the victims.
After hearing this, everyone quickly thanked the village chief.
Ever since they chose to flee, getting such a settlement was beyond their imagination.
As for other things, don’t think about it. Could it be that you are still counting on others to help you.
As long as you are more diligent, have your own hands and feet, and open up more wasteland, you can still survive.
After the village chief left, the village chief of Xiashui Village immediately summoned everyone and began to allocate homesteads.
Because there is a lot of wasteland, each household is allocated two acres of homestead land. This is the place where Feng Jiuyou is most satisfied.
Yuhe Village is named after a meandering river runs through it.
Feng Jiuyou finally chose a place close to mountains and water to build a house.
And all the villagers, with a tacit understanding, chose a homestead not far from Feng Jiuyou.
There is no other reason than safety!
Although Feng Jiuyou seems a little cold and inhumane, everyone knows that as long as her bottom line is not touched, she will still take action if something really goes wrong.
Looking at the green mountains and green waters in front of her, she was as smart as the wind and Jiuyou. How could she not guess that they were able to settle in such a good place all because of the man in black.
