Chapter 158: The Price of Huju City

PreviousBack to directoryNext
The government officials politely invited Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan into the city.

Fires were lit and pots were set up at the gate of the city, and everyone lined up in a long queue in an orderly manner.

No one was fighting to be the first, and no one was quarreling.

Everything is so peaceful, harmonious and natural.

The second ironman took the lead and pulled the third ironman to the front.

The two of them watched without blinking as the yamen poured water, put rice into the pot, boiled the water and removed the firewood...

When the officials wanted to throw straws inside, the second and third iron men stared with shock.

The two boys pursed their lips tightly and said nothing, but their expressions said everything they wanted to say.

The yamen servant kindly explained: "People who have been hungry for a long time cannot eat enough, and they cannot eat too fast. I feel sorry for you, uh..."

He couldn't go on and looked at the crowd of strong men behind the team, and then at his brothers.

Hey! Who is the disaster victim? He looks stronger than us.

He threw the straw away without leaving a trace and shook his head at the others.

Several government officials did not bother to do anything more.

The delightful porridge soup session has finally begun!

Everyone was so excited.

This is free rice soup, given for free, and will last for three days!

Even if the grains of rice distributed to each person are pitiful, everyone can only be grateful and not picky.

Everyone cherished the bowl and sipped it with small sips. There was only joy in everyone's heart.

The officials were so willing to use water, and they finally reached a place where there was no shortage of water!

Li Xuemei also brought her children to receive porridge.

When the government officials saw this family, they were stunned for a moment and hurriedly lowered their heads to cover up.

I was speechless inside.

They naturally knew that this was Yan Xiucai's family. It didn't mean that Yan Xiucai's family couldn't receive porridge, but when they went to invite people into the city, they saw the Yan family's luggage piled on the ground.

Don’t scholars value face the most? Why is it that Yan Xiucai’s family is so... approachable?

Yan Yu narrowed her eyes happily.

Eating food for free is delicious!

After finishing the porridge, Yan Yu did not leave, and kept walking around the city gate.

The government officials thought he was waiting for Yan Xiucai, so they didn't care and let her wander around nearby.

Yan Yu estimated that the notice about Huju City was posted on the wall inside the city gate.

At this time, there were people watching around, some of whom could read, as if they were talking about the content above to the people next to them.

Yan Yu was scratching his head. He didn't know if his uncle saw it. Even if it was inconvenient to turn around when he went in, he could still see clearly when he stood still when he came back.

Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan took their leave from the official office.

Magistrate Tian, ​​Mr. Tian...

Not only did he inform Mr. Xue of all the information he had concealed, but he also sincerely invited the two of them to serve in the government office.

Liang Manshan was in a trance.

This was completely different from the government offices and county magistrates he had in mind.

"Master Tian, ​​are you just entertaining us?" He was puzzled.

Yan Huaiwen reminded him: "Just think about it, Mr. Tian allowed me and I to serve as the secretary of any room."

"Household."

"This Mr. Tian saw that our household registration was incomplete, so he gave us the location of the household registration, which was convenient for us to register ourselves." Yan Huaiwen said with a slight smile.

Liang Manshan:……

I was simply stunned by this mysterious operation.

"Is this still possible?!" After he was awakened, he suddenly understood the seven classics and eight orifices. "The household secretary of the household is responsible for tax collection and money and grain matters... Isn't it possible that we can also distribute rations to ourselves?

?”

"There are also seeds." Yan Huaiwen added.

Liang Manshan was in high spirits.

"Brother Huaiwen, you have a lot to do!"

Yan Huaiwen hummed.

Compared with Mr. Xue Qi's deceit and deceit, Mr. Tian's conspiracy was outright.

I know you have problems, go and fix them yourself.

Don’t worry about anyone deducting it. Three months of rations is enough.

Grain tax is exempted for three years. You don’t have to worry after three years. Everyone is treated equally. You can charge as much as others charge...

And there is another advantage of working in the yamen. You are well-informed and familiar with all parties in the yamen. You can quickly get familiar with them and integrate into Huju City.

The more important point is that they only hold part-time positions, not formal duties, which will not affect their future careers at all.

The mutual understanding was not explained, but in fact, Master Tian was showing them that Huju City was willing to leave their 'price'.

He knew that compared with the three cities of Huju and Fucheng Yongning, Gufeng and Changping, they were at an absolute disadvantage because they were border towns.

Borrow the special management system of the border town and give full play to the advantage of "one word"...

Yan Huaiwen had to admit that Mr. Tian's move had indeed leveled the position of the Tiger in the City in his heart.

Village Chief Luo and Uncle An were so calm that they did not tell everyone about the benefits of registering as a registered citizen that Mr. Xue Qi said.

They made up their mind to wait for Yan Er to come back and ask Xiucai Gong to make up his mind.

The two little old men kept looking around, feeling anxious but unable to express themselves.

With their earnest expectations, Yan Laoer and Qi Si and Qi Wu returned home safely after a long journey.

I just drank some water and sat down to take a breath.

Yan Huaiwen and Liang Manshan are also back.

Several people exchanged information.

"It is true that twelve people have registered in Fucheng. The fields that Mr. Xue mentioned are probably not fields, but wasteland. Guanzhou has a vast territory with few people and a lot of wasteland. No one is clearing wasteland or cultivating it. Therefore, all cities in Guanzhou are divided into fields.

If you are willing to take in disaster victims, the so-called land distribution is to open up wasteland.

The land is tax-free for three years, and can be sold and traded for another three years.

The registration fee for Gu Feng is two taels of silver, and for Chang Ping one tael.

Yongning gave neither seeds nor rations, while Gufeng and Changping gave them seeds and rations for only one month.

Longxing and Fengming are the same as Huju. There is no fee for registering, and seeds and three months of rations are given. These two border towns have one more than Huju, and no corvee is required for three years."

Liang Manshan said: "Three years is too little."

Yan Laoer looked at him blankly.

What are you talking about? This is already very good. I heard that many victims are considering going to Longxing and Fengming because of this.

As soon as Liang Manshan mentioned the conditions for the tiger to occupy the city, Yan Laoer immediately decided to take back what he just said in his heart.

Long Xing and Feng Ming are both younger brothers in front of me, the great tiger.

"Brother! If you and Manshan go to the yamen to work as clerks, then can we open up wasteland wherever we want? There is no need to separate, we are all together."

Yan Huaiwen hummed.

"Then what are you thinking about? It's just Tiger Ju! Brother, I don't know if I don't leave. I'll be shocked when I leave. This Tiger Ju city is the biggest in the world. I've spotted a particularly good place with mountains and rivers. It's a large area.

The wasteland is not too far from Yongning, but closer to Gufeng. This is the only good thing about Guanzhou. There is so much land, but there is no human habitation in such a convenient place with three connections."

Qi Si couldn't hold it in anymore and interrupted: "Brother Yan, there is a large forest in the middle."

"Yes!" Yan Laoer's eyebrows were flying, and he kept spitting out stars: "There is also a large forest, hahaha! We can use it to build a house."

Yan Yu fell in love as soon as she heard it.

Lots of trees? That’s great!

The father and daughter looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly.

How do you say that?

If you want to be rich, plant trees first!!!
