Lady forced to seek prince

Chapter 171 New Home
In the north of Taozhou City, there is a small village called Fengxia Village.

The civil official said before that the village was good a few years ago, but because of the war, more than half of the people in the village were lost, and some houses in the village were abandoned.

Before Sun Ji kept the villages near Taozhou, he planned to sell them to farmers who could pay the money. Now that Sun Ji has been arrested, it happens that these places can be registered in these places.

Brothers Zhao Xueli and Zhao Xuejing entered the village. There are dilapidated houses on the west side of the village, and there are wild weeds in front of and behind the houses. Fortunately, this season, if it was earlier, the grass would grow tall and cover the houses. live.

The west side is obviously deserted, and the surrounding walls have been demolished to pieces, but there are villagers walking around in the east.

Maybe they couldn't figure out what they were doing, and the children poked their heads to look this way, but they were all pulled back by the adults.

The clerk said: "You are registered in Fengxia Village. There should be enough houses here. You will share one among the sixteen households. When you are settled, you can go to the yamen to make documents."

Zhao Xueli responded.

Mrs. Yang and the female relatives are still watching carefully. The situation in Fengxia Village seems to be better than they thought. Although the houses are dilapidated, many of them are usable.

The men looked at the fence and frowned. The first thing to do was to repair the fence. This place is not far from the mountains and forests. Even if there are no bandits, they still need to guard against wild animals.

The sixteen households have now formed the habit of letting Zhao Xueli make decisions for everyone, so Ding Maosheng reminded Zhao Xueli first when he saw someone coming.

"Look, there is someone coming over there, it should be Li Zheng from Fengxia Village."

A man in his fifties came over with two men. When they saw the civil servants, they stepped forward to salute first.

The official said: "These are the immigrants who came to settle down. They will all be in the same village in the future. You should take care of them."

Gao Lizheng smiled immediately: "That's natural, you can rest assured, my lord."

Although Gao Lizheng said this, his eyes were fixed on the donkey cart behind Zhao Xueli and others.

At the beginning, no one was resettled in their village. They all knew what the officials and lords meant. No matter how broken Fengxia Village was, it was still far away from Taozhou City. It was very convenient to do anything, and it was better than those remote villages.

In fact, they hope that the immigrants who settle here will have some money in their hands, so that they can be filial to the officials and gentlemen of the Yamen. In this way, they will not be troubled, at least those people will not be so hungry that they will come to their ideas .

However, later I heard that something happened in Sun Zhizhou, and Taozhou changed, so I don't know when the relocated people will be resettled.

Didn't expect it to be so fast.

Gao Li was looking around at the sixteen households. This group of people still had donkey carts, so it shouldn't be too bad. He felt a little relieved, but people still had to keep an eye on this group of people.

The official also told Zhao Xueli: "I may be busy recently, and I won't come here often. If you have something to do, go to the yamen."

Zhao Xueli bowed and said, "Excuse me, sir."

Gao Lizheng next to him was shocked when he heard it. Could it be that these migrants are very familiar with the adults in the yamen?But it doesn't look like it, at least the civil servants didn't mention him anything.

After seeing off the civil servants, Gao Li put away the smile on his face and looked at Zhao Xueli: "All these sixteen households listen to you?"

Zhao Xueli shook his head and said: "Everyone has helped each other along the way, no one listens to others, now that we are in the village, if there is anything, Lizheng will make arrangements."

Gao Lizheng nodded: "The house will be repaired first, and other things can be discussed slowly."

After saying this, Gao Lizheng's eyes fell on the donkey cart: "Do you have enough food?"

"Not enough," Mrs. Yang said before Zhao Xueli, "I have to ask Li Zheng, where can I buy coarse grains? It's going to be winter soon, so I need to prepare some grains."

Mrs. Yang finally understood that other people in the village were on guard against them, and they couldn't all give up on their old ways. Besides, it was true that there was not enough food.

Gao Lizheng said: "Right now the food is very expensive, especially after the immigrants came, the price has increased by [-]%, we can't even afford it."

Just as Gao Li was talking about this, the men around him immediately flashed an angry expression, obviously they didn't like these immigrants very much, and the immigrants brought them a lot of trouble.

The price of things in the city has become more expensive. These people come, and there is not enough firewood.

Gao Lizheng said a few more face-saving words, and then led the people away.

Ding Maosheng frowned: "This person is not as good as our former Li Zheng."

Zhao Xueli said: "We've only just arrived here, we're not familiar with each other, so it's inevitable that we'll be a little wary, and we're the same, don't do anything, we'll talk after we figure out the situation."

Everyone nodded.

After Zhao Xueli finished speaking, he realized that Sister Luo was missing. Just as he was about to look for her, he saw Zhao Luoyang walking from the east of the village. He didn't know when she left.

Zhao Luoyang said: "I saw a well in the west village, but that well was filled to death, so it might be difficult to clean it out. There seemed to be several wells in the east village. I took a look from a distance, and someone went to fetch water. .”

As he said that, Zhao Luoyang looked at Zhao Xueli: "Father has to tell them, before we dig a new well here, we have to go to fetch water, and we have to get some water back before it gets dark."

The people in this village are very wary of them, and it is best to do it before dark when communicating with the villagers.

Zhao Xueli forgot about this, thanks to Sister Luo who remembered it first.

"Unload the things first, and find out what we hold water," Zhao Xueli looked at Ding Maosheng and said, "Brother Ding followed me to find where it is."

When Zhao Xueli said this, everyone immediately split up.

Zhao Yuanrang and Zhao Yuanji helped Mr. Song get out of the car, Zhao Luoyang went to help Mrs. Yang, and the sixteen households walked to the village.

This will be their home from now on.

"Well, it's far worse than our previous home. The roof of our home was only repaired this spring, so I don't know what it looks like now."

"Yeah, it's still cold here, and the wind is quite strong."

"I don't know if this house can live in people."

Old Madam Yang turned her head and said: "Things are dead, but people are alive. After walking this way, everything should be in order. It's not good to give us this place now. As long as people are here, don't you want to repair it as you want? "

"Want a new roof, wait until next spring."

"There's nothing we can do about the strong wind. Who says it's not too windy? Add more bedding and store enough firewood, and this winter will pass."

"The house is not good, at least I don't have to sleep with my head against the sky."

After Mrs. Yang said this, everyone felt better.

"The old sister is right," the female relatives responded, "Anyway, I don't want to do anything, as long as the family is here, think about how many people died on the road, and how many people envy you on the way to Taozhou City!"

Zhao Luoyang said: "I think this village is not small, and there is a large piece of flat land around it. If the land allocated to us by the government office is nearby, it will be convenient for everyone to cultivate it. In a few springs and autumns, we will have it all."

"Yes, I think this house is not bad."

Everyone said, and began to look at the surrounding rooms.

Zhao Luoyang said: "It's impossible to clean up all the houses today. Let's find a few better ones and gather together for a night, and then slowly clean up the surrounding area during the day tomorrow."

Old Madam Yang said: "Yes, just do as Sister Luo said."

After saying this, everyone split up to look at the house.

Zhao Luoyang was about to let the elders of sixteen households find a place to rest when he heard a voice from a house not far away: "Oh my god, come quickly."
