Bai Shan has only one condition, that they each cultivate two acres of official land for three years, free of charge.
The county government only provides seeds and agricultural tools, and the county government will have a special person in charge of inspection to verify whether the other party is dedicated. "All the official land cultivated for you must follow the instructions of the county. As for the final output, you don't have to worry about it."
He said: "It doesn't matter whether it's bad or high, the county will accept all of them, and the county will be responsible for all the seeds and farm tools. I will send someone to check. As long as you do what the county orders, after three years, the fields allocated to you will be destroyed." The title deed is your permanent property."
Zhu Sanlang couldn't help asking: "Then what if the lord is not here?"
Bai Shan: "Unless I die, I will be in office within three years, but don't worry, if I leave or die within three years, someone will handle the land deed for you. This can be written into the contract."
A group of people were puzzled, "Contract?"
"Yes, the contract between this county, or Beihai County and you, will be written down and signed by both parties. This is not only an agreement between this county and you, but also an agreement between Beihai County and you, so even if this county is not The county magistrate of Beihai County is here, and someone will take care of all this for you."
Of course, Bai Shan would not let this kind of thing happen, and he always felt that it was a breach of promise to leave the promise.
The refugees were very moved and wanted to respond on the spot, but they had some concerns, so they didn't say anything.
Bai Shan didn't want them to give an answer now, he was willing to give them time to think about it.
Zhou Man and Bai Shan stopped after eating only one bowl of porridge, watching them share the remaining two buckets of porridge.
This was the most satisfying time they had eaten in four years. Fortunately, the rice was cooked badly, and the side dishes were also light, so there was no need to worry about ruining the stomach.
Considering that they had four children with them, Zhou Man asked someone to borrow four sets of clean children's clothes from Fang County Cheng's house not far away, "There are no clothes for children in the county government office, you bring these four sets with you." Bar."
The county government allows people who come to do long-term labor to take care of their children. These children have two places to go.
One is Yushantang, but they need a child to pay five Wen, so that these children can live and study like the orphans in Yushantang;
The second is to bring them by themselves, and the food and lodging are also provided by the county government, but their wages will be less than others, and it will cost as much as five cents to bring an extra child.
They were newcomers, so they were worried about leaving their children in Yushantang, so they took them to the official farm outside the city.
The clerk at Guantian arranged them together so that they could take care of each other.
They also got the legendary medicinal soap from the county magistrate's house, which was said by Zhu Sanlang.
It was dark on their side, the city gate was closed, and the guards who were hurrying or not catching up stomped their feet, looked back at the thirty or so people following behind, and sighed: "Let's go first!" Stay outside the city for one night, and then enter the city tomorrow."
Among the more than thirty people, there are more women, and there are twenty-one of them. Four of them stayed overnight in some villages on the way back. When they heard that they were going to work in Beihai County, they left their family matters and came with them. of.
There was a difference between men and women, so the team was clearly divided into two factions. As soon as the guards said that they were sleeping outside the city, the girls found a piece of grass to sit down, found some firewood nearby, and then huddled together.
They also know that it is not safe for women to go out, so they are very united and basically do not talk to men along the way, even if they are in the same team, or even the same town and village, they ignore them.
The men sitting by the other fire had long been used to it. At the beginning, there were a few bastards looking at these girls lewdly and flirting with their words, but after the guards reprimanded them, those The lady even directly swung the burden and the stone to beat someone up.
More than a dozen people beat a few people, even if the strength of men and women is very different, it is still possible to beat, not to mention that there are guards from Beihai County who turn a blind eye to help.
That's right, the men just thought that the guards were helping them, otherwise why would he scold them in just a few words, but he still stood aside with a knife and shouted feebly, "Don't beat me, don't beat me!" We fought, everyone was kind..."
So along the way, whether it is a real and honest man or a fake and honest man, stay far away from these ladies.
Now everyone is sleeping in the open, the women are lighting a fire here, and the men are sitting far away and lighting a fire.
The two guards did not rely on each other, and they built a fire in the middle, but at night everyone fell asleep, and they whispered while watching the night, "I must tell Brother Daji this time when I go back to the city, I would rather Don’t travel far to run errands in the Yamen.”
This kind of work is really not done by humans.
"Don't think about it, the Lord is short of people now, the county government is not easy to send people for this kind of thing, who do we not need?"
Before dawn the next day, they were woken up by business travelers and people who were about to enter the city. Because Baishan has recruited a lot of long-term workers recently, the consumption of vegetables and other things in the city is increasing, so the price of vegetables has risen slightly recently. After hearing this, the villagers in the village picked vegetables and sold them in the city early every morning.
So now there are many more people entering and leaving the city gate every day than before.
When the little ladies woke up, the knowledgeable girl thought to herself: I didn't expect that the city gate of Beihai County looked dilapidated, but there were so many business travelers coming and going. No wonder there was so much money to recruit people from outside.
As soon as the city gate was opened, the two guards immediately took them into the city without eating, and sent them directly to the county government for registration.
It’s just that the county government hasn’t entered yet, the yamen servant who came to open the door saw them, couldn’t help rubbing his eyes, and closed his eyes again, “Why are you knocking on the door so early in the morning?”
"We brought people back, who will lead them down to rest?"
The yamen servant barely opened his eyes, "Oh, yes, you went out with Mr. Cui to recruit people."
He glanced at the people behind them, and couldn't help but yawned, "Come in, and some are waiting, Zhao Li hasn't come back yet, everyone can find a place to do it, you're welcome."
He said again: "There is food for sale outside the county government office. If you are hungry, you can go out and buy it yourself. The fifth stall selling cooking cakes from the outside is set up by my elder brother. It tastes good. You can try it."
Everyone smiled awkwardly and didn't respond. Although they brought some money with them when they went out, they didn't plan to spend it at this time. Didn't they say that the county government provided food and housing
They were hungry for two meals, and it would not be too late to eat when they were assigned work.
The men thought so, and the women stood firmer. Most of them, not to mention money, didn't even prepare much dry food, and they had eaten up what they had with them today.
So now they don't even have a way out, they can only move forward desperately.
