My whole family was in exile, and I relied on my space to buy half of my country.

Chapter 358 Refugee Camp

Bohai County, at the foot of Boshan Mountain.

There was heavy snow like goose feathers floating in the slightly bright sky. Such heavy snow had been falling in Bohai County for five or six days.

As early as half a month ago, the newly built refugee camp began to accommodate refugees.But until today, people are still coming after hearing the news.

These newly arrived refugees must first register at the entrance, choose whether to work for food and accommodation, or pay in cash, and then be assigned to different rooms according to the type of refugee.

Yes, refugee camps are not free shelters. Refugees who come to stay have to pay.

Just like an inn, you have to pay for accommodation and meals.

However, the price is not high, and apart from costs and labor, there is only a very slim profit.

But even so, there are many people who cannot pay.

Refugees who cannot pay have to work to pay off their debts, otherwise they will never be allowed to enter the refugee camp.

These refugees who cannot pay will be assigned different jobs based on their physical fitness and abilities.

Those with good physical fitness but no special skills will be assigned to clear snow from rooftops, clean streets, etc., and do odd jobs.

Women, who were more skillful with their hands, were assigned to weaving work.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to knit. The refugee camp has already arranged for masters who can knit.

The weaving items are also very diverse, including baskets woven with strips and straw sandals made of straw.

The most expensive jobs are weaving and knitting sweaters.

Mao Xian is the short-tailed sheep that Jiang Tangtang and Lu Shiyan found in Tianyin Mountain.

Although there has been a serious drought in the past two years, because Jiang Tangtang often adds some spiritual springs to the livestock in the farm, and the workers in the farm are very conscientious, these short-tailed sheep have grown from a few at the beginning to hundreds.

Of course, Jiang Tangtang was dissatisfied with the fact that it took so long and at such a scale.

However, given the special circumstances of the past two years, Jiang Tangtang feels that it is very good that the short-tailed sheep on the farm can survive without dying and continue to grow.

The drought in the past two years has greatly affected both kudzu, cotton, and silkworms.Everyone was thinking about their stomachs first, not their clothes.

But in fact, in addition to lack of food, there is also a great shortage of clothes.

After learning about it, Jiang Tangtang discovered that the weavers of this era had mastered the skills of spinning wool into yarn and then weaving it into cloth.

So workers were organized to process the wool.

These wools are processed into two categories based on quality.One type is spun into yarn and woven into cloth.The other type is made into wool and knitted into sweaters.

On this day, another group of refugees arrived.

Most of these refugees are old, weak and young children. They can neither clear snow nor do knitting work.

This gave the steward a headache.

Because it was told above that you cannot support idle people.

In the past, of course, refugee camps also took in a lot of children and elderly people, but these elderly people and children all had families, and their families could be allowed to work to support these children and elderly people.

But imagine this, there are dozens of people in a group, all old people and children. The steward has never encountered them before, and he didn't expect how to deal with such a situation.

When the manager was having a headache, he heard someone outside exclaiming, "It's snowing so hard, why are you here, Madam?" "She must have come specifically to check on the situation in the refugee camp. I heard that Madam Lu often did it herself when she was in Lingnan. Go to the countryside to inspect. Those officials never dare to commit corruption, and the people there are living a better life."

Several refugees shoveling snow were extremely envious when they talked about the life of Lingnan people.But thinking that they can live in such a warm house now that they are clearing the snow, they also feel that their life is not bad now.

Although this house is shared by many refugees, it is divided into rooms.They can live in a house with their family.

And the most rare thing is that the room is extremely warm, warmer than their previous rooms at home.

In the past, in the village, which winter did not freeze to death a few old people?

The children at home often suffer from frostbite. If the family is in good condition, they can ask a doctor to take a look and give them some medicine.Those with poor conditions will end up watching their children die of illness.

But since they came here, the child has never been sick.

And when they come out to work, they will be given clothes and shoes called work clothes.

They don't know what work clothes are, they just know that this life is like a miserable life.

The workers all said good things about Jiang Tangtang, and the manager had an idea. He quickly arranged the group of old people and children into the room and asked Jiang Tangtang for instructions on how to solve this situation.

After the steward carefully explained the situation, he reflected on himself and said that he had not prepared in advance and had not foreseen such a situation and made a solution. He asked Jiang Tangtang to punish him.

From building refugee camps to later hosting refugees, everything was done in a hurry.And these office workers were as busy as spinning tops. They didn't think everything through, and Jiang Tangtang thought it was normal if they made some minor mistakes.

Of course she wouldn't blame him for such a small mistake.

"Select some of the refugees who can read and write to be teachers and teach the children."

Jiang Tangtang believes that children are the hope of the country, and of course they should receive all preferential treatment.

As for the elderly, who doesn’t age?
We cannot just take care of the children and ignore the elderly.

The manager said: "In this case, I am afraid that in order to reduce the burden on the family, some families will deliberately kick out the elderly and children at home, and then let them enter the refugee camp as orphans and widows."

Jiang Tangtang couldn't help but take a closer look at the steward in front of him.I have to say that she didn't think carefully.

She nodded appreciatively, "Since you have thought of this, you should have figured out a solution, right?"

The steward was afraid that Jiang Tangtang might misunderstand her and think that he was trying to show off and come to her to ask for a reward. He carefully explained: "I just thought of it just now. I really didn't think of a solution before."

Jiang Tangtang said: "It doesn't matter, just tell me what you think of."

The steward thought as he said: "These children are charged the same accommodation and food expenses as the elderly, but the debt repayment period is longer.

Due to limited space, there are many limitations to the work that refugees in the refugee camp can do.

But after spring, these old people can also do some other work, and the time for children to repay their debts can be extended. For example, I will register here first, and when they turn 16, they will follow the government's arrangements and work to repay their debts. "

Jiang Tangtang nodded, "Your idea is very good, I will implement it as you say."

Thinking about what he just said, which was mixed with many modern words, Jiang Tangtang asked about his name and origin again.

Only then did I learn that this young steward was originally a refugee who had fled to Lingnan a few years ago. He was very fond of the new vernacular books published in the Lingnan study, and had been preparing to take part in the government's talent selection examination.

As a result, due to drought, the government selection examination was repeatedly postponed. Later, when Bohai County was recruiting people, they came all the way from Lingnan to apply.

Jiang Tangtang encouraged: "Work hard and take the exam next year."

(The 6 update will start tomorrow and will be updated until the 30th. There have been few updates in the past few days, sorry.)
