Thinking of this, Fang Yunping felt much more at ease. After all, it was not easy to integrate into a place when he first arrived.

If they have a large population, they will not merge with other people's villages. They will definitely build a new village. However, if they are assigned a place with poor land when registering at the county government, it will be unspeakable hardship.

So, they went to Nanyue City together first.

Everyone was waiting in the open space outside the city. Fang Yunping and Fang Youwei led a few people into the city.

Now that I have come to Nanyue County, of course I want to buy some things.

Food was the second priority, because after they came down from the mountain and arrived in Nanyue County, as long as they had money in their hands, they basically didn't have to worry about food anymore, it could be bought in counties and towns.

They went to the city to buy new year's goods for the upcoming New Year.

It won't be a while until we find a place to settle down. But the New Year will have to pass.

Even if we live in a tent, as long as everyone is together, it can be regarded as a reunion. When the time comes and we eat something good, it will be a good year.

Fang Yunping and the others also had another purpose, which was to go to the bank to exchange money.

There will definitely be more and more places to use silver in the future. I don't dare to exchange too much in the county for fear of attracting the attention of bad people. This county is very big and there are not only one or two banks, so I can definitely exchange more.

They were divided into groups of two and went to the bank to exchange money. Each group exchanged two hundred taels for a total of one thousand taels.

In addition to buying things, most of the money is used to pay local taxes. Although homesteads will be allocated, fertile land will still have to pay local taxes, unless you open up wasteland yourself. If you open up wasteland, you will not pay taxes in the first three years, and you will also have to pay taxes after three years.

of.

Everything in the county town is complete and the prices are not much expensive.

Several people bought some cotton and cloth to make quilts and new clothes.

Then they bought six more cows, because they had sold the five horses to Shaoyang and there were not enough to pull the cart. Of course, they also told him the origin of the horses.

Shao Yang was very happy. This was a war horse outside the Great Wall. It was strong and durable, and had been trained to be obedient. It would not be easily surprised when something happened.

He had thought before that the Fang family's horses were better than the horses in his convoy. No one was driving them and they knew how to follow the donkey cart, and they walked very smoothly. Only now did he realize that they were captured war horses.

There is a risk in selling this horse to others, but there is no problem in giving it to Shao Yang. He can directly hand it over to his father to expand his arsenal. If it cannot be used for breeding, it is fine.

In this way, Shaoyang did not let the Fang family suffer and gave them two hundred taels of silver!

Several people bought cattle and several frame trucks. The previous frame trucks were in a state of disrepair after traveling long distances and being repaired along the way. It is estimated that when they settle down, they will only be used as firewood.

They also bought some farm tools and other things. They didn't have much of these things to begin with, and the tools they used to shovel ice and cut rocks on the road had already collapsed and were no longer usable.

After they finished shopping and were about to leave the city, they were found by Butler Shao.

Butler Shao handed Fang Yunping a letter. "This is a letter written by our county magistrate. If you take this letter and decide which county you want to go to, just give it to the county magistrate. The county magistrate will know what to do."

Do."

As for why the county governor wrote a personal letter? How could the Fang family have such great reputation?

In fact, this is not a big deal. Firstly, it is to return a favor for the son. Secondly, it is not to let them become officials. It is just to find a place for them to stay so as not to embarrass others.

Just write it clearly in the letter. As long as the county magistrate is not a fool, he will know what to do.

Not to mention having a relationship with the county governor, at least he didn't dare to offend anyone who was acquainted with the county governor.

Fang Yunping and others bowed deeply to Steward Shao, expressed their gratitude, and asked him to take it as a thank you to the Second Young Master Shao.

Butler Shao returned the favor and said goodbye to them. He had just returned home and still had many things to do.

By the time they left the city, it was already getting late and it was already Shen hour.

Everyone also knew that they would definitely not be able to find a county town to settle in today, so they had to find a place to rest first.

Before leaving, Fang Youwei inquired at the tea shed at the gate of the city. He asked the tea shed owner if any refugees from Qiyang County had ever been here.

The owner of the tea shed recalled it and told them that a group of refugees did come a few months ago, but after knowing that they could not go any further, they quickly dispersed. They should have been scattered in the counties and towns below Nanyue County.

.

As for which county or town he went to, he didn't know. After all, there were so many people and it had been so long.

He can remember it because this is the first time in so many years that so many refugees have arrived.

There are frequent floods in the south, but at most they go to the mountains to hide. When the water recedes, they return to the original place and continue living. It is rare for them to escape as far as this.

For this reason, he also asked why he didn't settle down in the previous city or county, or a nearby county. Those people said that they were afraid that the Vietnamese would continue to invade south, so they would have to move again just after they stabilized. That's why the boss was like this

Very impressive.

Fang Youwei was a little worried after hearing this, and he didn't know which county or town his uncle and the others had settled in.

As for why my uncle and the others would not find a village to settle down, it is because unlike them, the whole village migrated. If they wanted to settle down, they would definitely find a place to rebuild the village.

As for my uncle and the others, they originally came from the town, and their support along the way was at most a fellow villager relationship, and it was impossible for them to form a village.

Moreover, they are used to doing business, so they should choose towns and continue to rent a shop to do business.

In this case, he could only stop by and inquire wherever he went.

After he settled down, he would make a special trip to look for them. He would have to know their whereabouts, otherwise his wife would never be able to relax.

Why didn't he suspect that his uncle and his family were killed on the road? It was because his uncle was very shrewd. You could tell by seeing that they had run away in advance, and they would definitely be more careful in the future.

And at that time, a large number of refugees ran here together. Because there were so many people, it is estimated that the bandits did not dare to attack easily.

He had also asked Xu Hong and the others before whether the bandits had robbed refugees.

Xu Hong and others said that their family was killed by bandits because they were afraid of being chased by Vietnamese people, so they chose a small road instead of taking the official road.

They also regretted it. If they had followed everyone on the official road, they would not have encountered bandits and their family members would not have died.

As for whether his uncle's family will starve on the road, Fang Youwei is not worried anymore. Think about those people who were stopped outside the closed city. They said that basically no one starved to death on the road.

Because it was summer when they left, as long as they walked through the plains outside Qiyang City and entered the mountains and forests, they could basically find food.

When you get to Jiayun City, you can also use money to buy food. At most, you will spend all your money and be stuck outside the city.
