Yanghecheng, refugee shelter outside the west gate.

At this time, there were dense crowds of refugees gathered, but under the occasional patrol of the Jinyiwei Tiqi, no one dared to make trouble. They all lined up honestly, waiting for registration and arrangements.

In the registration office, Wang Ding'an led the people to make records without any hesitation. Not far away, he set up two large pots, and the fragrant rice porridge was boiled.

The fragrance continued to spread outside the city gate, and the sound of refugees swallowing from time to time.

"Name! Hometown!"

Wang Ding'an's pen kept recording the previous group of refugees. After recording the previous group of refugees, he looked up at the refugees in front of him, and then asked habitually.

This is a family of four, a middle-aged couple with a pair of children.

The adults were wearing robes like worn sacks and luggage behind them. The children were wearing most of the worn-out cotton jackets. The four of them were covered in dirty, unkempt and dirty faces, and they could hardly see their specific appearance.

"Uh, I'm Li Tiezhu. This is my wife, from Yan'an, Shaanxi!"

The man was quite tall, but he was a little thinner. Facing Li Ding'an's question, he seemed a little cramped and didn't know where to put his hands.

"The child also needs to make records. Do you have a name?"

“Yes, yes!”

When talking about his own children, the man suddenly started to talk more.

"This is my eldest son, named Li Dingguo, who is almost ten years old. On the day he spoke, a fortune teller happened to pass by, saying that this child had a good horoscope and was a rich and powerful person, and he also gave him the name of Dingguo!"

For the villagers who don’t know a lot about their big words, the name Li Dingguo sounds like awesome. After giving his son this name, the villagers envied him for a long time!

"Where is the girl? Do you have a name?" Wang Ding'an couldn't help but take a few more glances at the child named Li Dingguo, but didn't see anything special.

"The girl's name is Erya, Li Erya, she is seven years old this year! Don't look at her young age, she can cook and work in the fields, and she will do everything and will not cause trouble for you!" As if she was afraid that the officials from the East Road would not accept children, Li Tiezhu explained a few more words eagerly.

Wang Ding'an smiled unanimously, "You have nothing wrong with your health. Can you tell me why do you have to run to Yanghe East Road?"

After being asked this, Li Tiezhu's tall man's eyes suddenly turned red.

"I can't survive anymore! The land at home was taken away by the juren in the town. I heard that the East Road is responsible for food and accommodation. As long as I work and open up the land, I will also give the land to the family, so I will bring my whole family here!"

"Understood!"

Wang Ding'an made the record and then raised his hand and waved it.

The next moment, civil servants from the generals came forward and led a few people to walk towards a large house with steam behind.

"Sir, where are you going?"

Looking at the man in the Ginseng General's Mansion wearing official uniforms, Li Tiezhu felt a little nervous. Isn't this going to drive them back?

"Take a bath! The man enters the bathhouse on the left, and the woman enters the bathhouse on the right!"

There were more than a dozen soldiers stationed on the side in front of the house that was ripe with water vapor. After seeing Li Tiezhu and others, they divided the family of four into two groups without saying a word and pushed them into the bathhouse.

"Sir, can you not wash it?"

Li Tiezhu was a little unwilling. It was only March, and the weather was still a bit cold and covered in dirt was also considered a heat preservation measure for the farmers like them.

"Foreign refugees entering our East Road must first clean themselves, otherwise they will be expelled!" The civil servant looked unquestionable, "This is an iron rule set by the General of the Governor. The order of the Lord, no one dares to violate it on the East Road!"

While speaking, several soldiers had already pushed Li Dingguo and his son into the bathhouse.

As soon as they entered, there were still officials in the gang and the government waiting. When they saw someone coming in, they stripped off their clothes from their father and son without saying a word and pushed them into a steaming pool.

In the pool, there were already seven or eight people cleaning their bodies. Li Dingguo and his son were still a little confused at first, but the moment the warm water flowed through their bodies, the feeling of comfort still made them subconsciously rub the stains on their bodies.

After washing up and washing away all the dirt on his body, Li Tiezhu subconsciously wanted to find his previous clothes.

But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. Instead, an official came with two new sets of clothes.

"Don't look for old clothes! The general of the governor has regulations: collect and burn and bury the old clothes of refugees, and the general of the governor of the governor will issue new clothes!"

Li Tiezhu took the new clothes blankly, a set of small underwear, a pair of cotton pants, and a large dark green cotton jacket that can be wrapped around his knees. When he smelled it, he had a bit of fragrance.

After dressing, Li Tiezhu felt a little excited when he looked at his son wrapped in a quilt and cotton jacket.

This is the first time in their life that they have worn such good clothes.

This cotton coat is so thick, it must be expensive. General Ginseng is so expensive, what exactly is he trying to do?

Walking out of the bathhouse, Li Dingguo and his wife were already washed and waiting outside.

At this time, the mother and daughter were wearing floral cotton jackets, with their little faces blushed and looking around.

If it were later generations, the cotton jacket embroidered with florals would have been terrible, but in this era, it would have been extremely fashionable. Seeing her husband come out, Li Tiezhu's face even showed a little shy expression on his face, which was much whiter.

For example, there are many refugees who have just finished taking a shower and changing into new clothes. After dozens of people gathered, one of the participating generals clapped his hands.

"It's noon. Everyone follows me. Go to have a meal first. After dinner, you can get the bed, bedding and some simple daily necessities. Keep it close. Don't fall behind!"

After walking for hundreds of meters, I came to a wide field, where there were rows of tables and chairs, and on each table were a stack of pickled pickles and a stack of peanuts.

At this time, officials were guiding everyone to sit down, and then bowls of sticky rice porridge with steaming aroma were placed on the table.

When one of the officials passed by Li Tiezhu's table, he took out two cooked eggs and stuffed them into Li Dingguo and Li Erya's hands in Li Tiezhu's surprised eyes.

"The general of the sect gave an explanation. Once he entered the East Road, he would be a disciple of the East Road. Although the East Road was not rich, he could not treat his children badly. If the families involved in the land reclamation had children at home, they would provide eggs and other supplements every day!"

"Those who have excellent performance in land reclamation can even allow their children to attend school for free!"

As soon as these words were spoken, they caused an uproar among the refugees.

In this era, the cultural popularity rate is extremely low, and ordinary people even support themselves is a problem. How many families can afford to support their children?

Studying is the power of the gentry, landlords, and the powerful. The children of the farmer households have no choice but to look at them.

And at this moment, what did they hear?

Children are free to enroll?

Could you be kidding?
