Chapter 80 Reclaiming Wasteland and Farming

On the other side, there are government officials registering the number and origin of refugees, and then assigning them to various places in the south for settlement.

Village Chief Tian approached Village Chief Zhang and Village Chief Yan, and said: "Master Zhang just said that if we don't get relief food from the government, we can go directly to reclaim wasteland to grow food, and we can stay in the south. Are you willing to go with us?" ?"

Village Chief Yan shook his head and waved his hand.

What's more, there is now food relief from the government.Even if they don't have enough food, they won't starve to death.If the villagers survive this year, they can go back next spring.

Homeland is hard to leave.Brother Tian, ​​Brother Zhang, I also advise you not to stay in vain.We couldn't understand what the southerners said, and we were bullied by the locals. "

Village head Zhang hesitated.He wants to stay.He doesn't want to continue to escape famine in the future, but he worries about opening up wasteland for farming.Many in the village were reluctant.

"This matter has to be discussed, I can't decide." When village chief Zhang fled, village chief Hetian vowed to open up wasteland in the south and settle down.But now he knows he can get relief so he doesn't have to work as hard.

Chief Tian Cun saw this and did not force him. "I told you to help each other, get to know each other, and run away from the famine together. Since you don't want to, I won't force you. Go and register. The former Lihua Village people chose to open up wasteland."

After speaking, Chief Tian turned around and left with a firm attitude.

Although there are only more than 100 men, women, children and children in the village, Village Chief Tian is determined to lead the villagers to open up wasteland and cultivate land.

Seeing Mr. Tian leaving, Mr. Zhang and Mr. Yan looked at each other and said, "Why don't we go in too?"

Village head Yan shook his head and repeatedly refused: "No, I don't want to go, especially our villagers. The cattle and carts are gone, and we rely on manpower to reclaim wasteland. How much can we do?
It is not cost-effective not to receive relief food from the government.They are hungry and have to work.In the end, they couldn't open the wasteland.They had to ask the government for relief food.Next spring, they have to go back to their hometown with us. "

Village head Zhang hesitated at first, but when he heard Village head Yan's eloquence, the hesitation disappeared.

Among all the victims, only the former Lihua village gave up receiving food relief and wanted to open up wasteland for overnight stay.

Although some people in the former Lihua Village were unwilling, they did not dare to stay alone.

First, if they are separated from the villagers, they will be bullied by others.

The second is to get used to Tian Cunchang leading the team.Without Chief Tamura, they would know nothing.

In this way, the villagers of the former Lihua Village did not receive relief food.The guards around Zhang Zhao, the imperial envoy, took them away and planned to send them to a deserted place.

Zheng Guizhen was not sure, and asked Shen Yunxi in a low voice: "Fourth brother and sister, why do I think it's unreliable?"

Shen Yunxi smiled and said, "Aside from a life, what else do we have?"

Zheng Guizhen was taken aback, and said painfully: "Yes, we only have one life."

"That's enough." Shen Yunxi chuckled, and turned to Zhang Zhao, the imperial envoy who was talking with local officials. "This is an ambitious official. Maybe he can find another way to deal with the victims."

Zheng Guizhen didn't quite understand, but her four younger siblings were very smart, and the village head was also very far-sighted, so Zheng Guizhen went with her.

The servant next to Zhang Zhao was very confused.Seeing that Shen Yunxi and the former Lihua Village people had left, he asked in a low voice: "Master, why did you guarantee them?"
