Among the crowd, a small number of people left quickly and came back with more people.
"Quiet now, the person whose name is called comes forward." Meng Changqing started calling from the beginning according to the name list.
Now that everyone is here, it's much easier than last night when Yang Zheng and the others were counting.
As soon as the basic names were announced, someone came forward.
Meng Changqing would like to warn everyone who gets a sign, "Be sure to keep it properly. If it is lost or damaged, come to the Yamen to replace it. You will have to pay for it yourself."
After all the ID badges were distributed, Meng Changqing raised his hand and said loudly: "I just told each of you that the things issued to you must be properly kept, and if they are lost, you must pay for them yourself.
There must be some people who are not convinced. It is just a wooden sign. If you lose it, you will lose it. The worst thing is not to use it, right?
I would like to tell you what this wooden sign is.
This is the identity card of the people of Beishan County. If you hold this plate in your hand, it means that you are a citizen of Beishan County. You can receive the fields and seeds allocated to you. You can also use this plate to report to the government when farming is busy. Borrowed cattle.
But if you don’t have this sign, the government will not recognize your identity.
There must be smart people below who have thought, I don’t have my own, so can I ask someone else to borrow it?
I am here to tell you, no, each piece of this sign is different. It has your name and some important information on it. This sign represents you. ”
When Meng Changqing said this, he changed his tone. Although his voice was still loud, it was not as serious as before.
"Take the example of handing over grain after the autumn harvest. If you borrow someone else's identity tag to hand over grain, the grain will be recorded in the other person's name. It is equivalent to using your own grain to pay for others. Are you willing to borrow other people's identity tags?"
The people below are naturally unwilling.
Meng Changqing continued: "Listen to what I say, some of you must be planning to lend your identity badge to others, thinking that you can get an advantage. But then I think about it, whoever takes your badge will never Once you do something evil and leave the sign on the spot, who do you think the government will arrest?”
"That can't be lent out." At first, they only held the wooden sign in their hands, but now after hearing this, many people directly stuffed it into their arms.
Meng Changqing emphasized again: "Be sure to keep it well, don't think about taking other people's, and don't let others take your own."
After saying so many words, Meng Changqing's throat couldn't bear it. He turned to the side and coughed twice, and then continued: "Beishan County Government keeps its word. The land promised to be distributed to you will begin to be distributed now."
Meng Changqing raised his hand and pointed to the south, "Look in the direction of my finger, there are two villages that are going to be built in Beishan County. There is nothing, right?" Meng Changqing said with a smile: "When you live there, there will be one. Let's go! Go. Take a look at your new home.”
The so-called visit to see the new home is actually to see the two wooden sticks Meng Changqing has set up, which are the center points.
Anyway, within this range, there are two villages: Anxi and Andong.
It's just that such a large area cannot be allowed to be built at will. The land will inevitably be wasted, and fights over a field ridge will definitely occur.
Meng Changqing had already been prepared for this.
She carried two large pieces of paper with her. The paper was spread out and showed her preliminary plans for the two villages. The location of the fields and the location of the villages had been drawn.
"You can choose any of these two villages." Meng Changqing said, "If you are willing to be in Andong Village, stay here. If you are willing to go to Anxi Town, just follow this gentleman and walk a little further."
This gentleman is Chu Mufeng. He is standing next to the horse, holding the drawing of Anxi Village in his hand, with a serious expression. When the people see him like that, they feel afraid and do not want to go there. Many people say Would love to be here.
Chu Mufeng didn't care what the noise was in the crowd, he had to do what Meng Changqing told him anyway.
Therefore, he mounted his horse and said to the people below: "If you want to come to Anxi Village, follow me." Chu Mufeng led his subordinates out for a distance, but no one behind him was surprised to follow.
Wang Xun, who was right next to him, said lazily: "Sir, there's no one there, where should we go?"
"Master Meng said that there are always people who want to be different from everyone else." Chu Mufeng said.
Sure enough, after he walked forward for a while, he turned back and saw several people chasing him.
First a few, then a dozen or dozens.
Chu Mufeng slowed down and waited for the people behind him.
Wang Xundao: "Master Meng is really right."
Zheng Hongyu looked at the people leaving, and actually wanted to go there to have a look, but after comprehensive consideration, she finally decided to stay here.
Soon, the county master in front spoke again and asked them to line up in a long queue.
Zheng Hongyu had previous experience and quickly squeezed into the crowd, but she was single and weak, so she was pushed to the back.
It was her turn to step forward. Many people in front of her had already been led by Mr. Cha to mark the ground.
"You can choose the ones with no words in these grids. The red grids are homesteads and the black grids are farmland."
The county master's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was very calm, so calm that it was difficult for people to believe that he was an official.
"Where is your ID card?" the county master asked.
Zheng Hongyu immediately took out the sign from her arms.
I just heard the county master read her name according to the sign, "Zheng Hongyu." Then he asked: "You also have a father named Zheng Laosan, right?"
Seeing her nodding, the county master continued: "As a family of two, you can choose two homesteads and four acres of farmland. Should you stay together or separate?"
"Close together." Zheng Hongyu said quickly.
"Then take a look and tell me which side you want to choose."
Zheng Hongyu looked at the grids carefully, and she thought to herself that the only ones she could choose were the ones with no words in them. In fact, she didn't see any difference between these grids, so she thought it would be enough to just choose two grids close to each other.
When she was thinking this, the county master spoke again, "I heard that your father is not in good health, and the family will definitely rely on you in the future. It is best for the neighbors not to take advantage and gossip. You are among the people here." Among them, are there any people you know well and feel comfortable getting along with? ”
Zheng Hongyu said honestly: "I know some of them, but not very familiar with them."
"Really?" the county master asked, "Do you want to live with the people in the previous village?"
Zheng Hongyu shook her head, "I don't want to."
She saw the county master's finger slide to a grid and click on it, "There is a couple living here. They are very good people. If you believe me, just be neighbors with them. It just so happens that he There are two open spaces next to the house.”
Zheng Hongyu noticed that one of the two empty squares pointed by the county master had a red dot. She didn't know what it meant, but she was sure that the red dot was not left there by accident. (End of chapter)
