Chapter 308 The road is boundless
“Resettlement is certain, but there are some things I want to say upfront. I only care about your food and clothing for the first year, and you will have to bear all the rest.”< br>
“Why don’t you keep your words?”
Hearing this, Zhu Dafu immediately ran away.
"I didn't promise to support you and get something for nothing, but you have to pay a price? With the grain yield of thousands of kilograms per acre provided by me, as long as you are not a lazy person, your life will definitely go on."
< br>
"Not only that, you have to pay 20% tax every year."
"You still have to pay tax?"
"Of course, you don't think I'm so kind, do you?< br>
With such high-yield grain, even if you pay the tax, you can still have enough to eat.”
The 20% tax she charges is really not high, you know, Dayuan Kingdom is demanding. Pay 60% tax.
After paying the taxes, there was not much left, so the people were miserable.
“Moreover, when you arrive on Jiuyou Island, everything must be done in accordance with the rules and regulations of Jiuyou Island. If someone makes trouble, it is not as simple as kicking them out. You must think carefully.”
< br>“We agreed to all of this.”
Cao Xu and Zhang Wentao looked at each other and agreed.
If there are no requirements, they will be more worried and hesitant.
"Very good."
Seeing that they agreed, Feng Jiuyou was still in a good mood. She had to give people some sweetness. She pointed to the bags of sweet potatoes and rice on the ground and said:
"You can use these to make porridge for everyone to eat. Although it may not be enough to eat, it is better than nothing."
A bag of sweet potatoes weighs about a hundred catties, which is about a thousand catties. There are also four to five hundred catties of rice.
Rice and sweet potatoes are cooked together to make porridge, and more water is added. Even one person with tens of thousands of people can have a bowl of porridge.
"Thank you."
Cao Xu saluted Feng Jiuyou with clasped fists before asking someone to carry the things away.
In less than half an hour, the fragrant sweet potato porridge was scattered in every corner of Wanwanbang.
Those who have not eaten porridge for a long time, smelling the aroma, tears flowed down unconsciously. "There is no perfect path for man."
"Thank God for blessing and giving us a way out."
Such words echoed on this island.
After eating, Cao Xu asked someone to pass on the words of surrendering to Feng Jiuyou.
"As long as my young grandchildren can have food, isn't it necessary to go to Jiuyou Island? If you don't go, the old woman will. Even if it costs the old woman her life, it doesn't matter."
An old lady with white hair, holding porridge in her hands, said excitedly that she was old and didn’t have many years to live.
If sacrificing her alone can save the lives of her children and grandchildren, it is worth it.
"I'll go too, I'll go too."
Another older man also said that it was old guys like them who were dragging down their children and grandchildren.
If old guys like them weren't around, I believe our children and grandchildren would be better off.
Since there are too many people in the Ten Thousand Gang, we need to divide them into several batches.
Fortunately, the Ten Thousand People Gang also has a lot of ships, otherwise it would not be so easy to move.
When the first people who landed on Jiuyou Island saw the green rice fields on the island, they couldn't control their emotions and sat on the ground and cried.
In this world, they finally saw hope. Jiuyou Island was very large, and Feng Jiuyou scattered the ordinary people from the Wanwan Gang to different places.
Fortunately, Feng Jiuyou had this plan, so he asked people to select places across Jiuyou Island and build some simple houses to accommodate the population.
As for building buildings for them, Feng Jiuyou never thought that things that were too easy to obtain would develop human greed.
If you want to live in a comfortable building, you can only work hard and keep them fed, which is already pretty good.
