Chapter 265 Some People Regret It
There is no wind at noon, and the sun is still a little warm.The refugees got off the boat, stretched their hands and feet, and saw the green wheat seedlings on the shore.

"The wheat seedlings here grow so well?" Everyone was surprised.

"The wheat seedlings in my hometown are sparse."

"Is this a cobblestone road? It's like a city."

Everyone walked and discussed, and came to the square in front of Xiangjun's mansion.

"Such a large area is actually empty? It's still paved with bluestone slabs, how rich it is."

"Fortunately, there is such a large open space, otherwise so many of us would not be able to stand."

Zhang Ci led a group of people out, set up the table, and placed the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.The accompanying officials stepped forward to hand over, and Chen Zhongmei led them into the courtyard to rest and eat.

"Have we nothing to eat?" Several thorns shouted.

Mo Jian glanced at them: "There is dinner."

"We still have to wait for dinner? We will starve to death. Didn't you say Renyi in Changping Township? Renyi is a fart." A strong man yelled.

A whip stretched out, rolled him up, and threw him out of the crowd.Everyone's eyes widened, watching the man suddenly fly up and fall to the ground with a "bang".

Mo Jian flicked the whip, and everyone felt that the whip was reaching towards them, and they were all shocked, and the audience was silent.

"Abiding by the rules and obeying the arrangement, do you hear everything clearly?" Mo Jian's voice reached everyone's ears.

It was a bit difficult to open their mouths, and everyone could only nod vigorously.

"Everything is on the ground, no one will dare to take it carelessly." Mo Jian said the second sentence, and everyone put the things on the ground one after another. holding luggage.

"Old people over 50 and orphans under 14 all go there to register in line." Mo Jian pointed to a spot, and some people hesitated for a while, then walked shyly over there.

"Line up one by one, and line up in front of the table." Mo Jian pointed back and forth between the crowd and the table, signaling everyone to line up separately.

The students all came over to take charge of the registration, even the little dolls from the academy.

While waiting for registration, people looked enviously at the writing dolls.

After the officials had eaten, the maid served tea for them.

A long history surnamed Shi asked: "When we came, we didn't seem to see any boats in the river."

Chen Zhongmei nodded: "The big boat is going to send the people back to their hometowns."

Although they said that leaving Changping Township has nothing to do with them, the children were still worried about the safety of the people who left their hometown.Chen Fan also didn't want their hard-earned food to be robbed on the road, and he didn't want the villagers to encounter accidents outside, so he sent a big boat to take them back.The victims are all on the north bank of the Yellow River, and it is more convenient to walk by water.

At this time they had disembarked and were walking on the road.Bai Ce and Chen Zhongzhu escorted them with several nurses.

The weather in the north is much colder than that in Changping Township. It has rained and snowed for a long time, and the wet roads have become muddy, and they sink in every step, and they have to pull out their feet before walking.There is thick snow piled on the sparsely traveled road, and it is also very difficult for the car to push and pull in the snow.

After walking for half a day, they were so tired that they had no strength, so they sat down again and began to eat dry food.

"The roads here are too bad. The roads in Changping Township are all flat and clean, and they won't sink at all."

"Enough is enough, not a single inch of my foot is dry."

"In fact, the roads are similar everywhere, and the roads in Changping Township are so well built." So good that they forgot what the original road was like.

"It's still a few days before I leave home."

"Why do you want to go home at this time?" Some people regretted it.

The accompanying officials left, and the registration of refugees went smoothly. Everyone received an ID card, and the housing assignment was completed.

After 1000 people left, more than 3000 people came, and the housing supply was very tight.Pack as much room as possible into one house, and there are several houses that share a yard, sharing kitchens and toilets.

Dinner is served uniformly, a bowl of porridge with a sweet potato.The sweetness of sweet potatoes delights many people.

Some were dissatisfied, and started yelling again.

"Is there no steamed bun? Changping Township is so rich, don't you even give a steamed bun?" This is relatively civilized.

A few rude people directly burst into foul language, cursing the people in Changping Township Junfu.

Not surprisingly, they were all hit in the mouth by small stones; those who scolded fiercely even lost two teeth.When they were looking for a house after dinner, these thorns were all taken to Youyi Village.

Those who returned to their hometowns walked to a village before dark and did not have to spend the night outside in tents.

Bai Ce found Lizheng, gave him some money, and wanted to rent an empty house.

Knowing their identities, Lizheng sighed: "Why do you want to return to your hometown at this time? Most of our village has fled famine. The weather here is not good. The fields have been deserted for two years. What else can we grow?"

He led Bai Ce to several houses, and said: "These houses have all left, and some locks were broken by passing robbers. You can find some houses to stay for the night."

The people went into several houses, spread some straw on the ground, and lay down.Bai Ce placed a charcoal basin in each room for heating.

After breakfast the next day, the group set off again.

The road is easier to walk in the morning, and the road is still frozen, but after noon, some places are more difficult to walk.

By the time they lodged in the evening, they were exhausted again, and some of them began to regret it.

The origins of these people are scattered, with great distances from village to village.During the period, there were two snowfalls, and I was so lost that I couldn't see clearly.It took half a month to send them village by village.

Those who stayed in Changping Township stayed at home for the winter with peace of mind.These days, the newly arrived refugees also rely on logging and twisting hemp rope in exchange for food and vegetables, and they are also allocated fields and seeds.

"If they were allowed to walk back by themselves, they might not be able to get home by the New Year." Chen Zhongzhu leaned against the wall of the carriage and let out a breath of air.

"Maybe he fell down on the road." Bai Ce said coldly.

What was the scene like after returning home?Few people could be found in the whole village, many houses had collapsed, and the fields were all under the white snow, and for a while, I couldn't tell where my own fields were.Leaving aside the land reclamation next year, regardless of how much crops will be harvested, the taxation will definitely be heavier than that in Changping Township, and may even increase.

Almost all those who returned home were men, many of whom reconciled with their wives and left their children behind.Looking at the bare walls, cold pots and cold stoves, some people who are still full of hope and yearning on the road are disappointed and regretful when they get home.

There were a few weak ones who couldn't get up as soon as they relaxed at home.

Bai Ce and the others did not snow again when they returned, and they walked quickly. They arrived at the Yellow River within a few days, boarded a boat, and returned home on the eve of the winter solstice.
