The peasant girl in the apocalypse of natural disaster has space

Chapter 36

Fortunately for the robbers on the road, all the people from Stone Village came in. Only some of the refugees who came behind could afford to pay, and most of them could only watch helplessly.

Shen Hong and others did not expect that Xu Tiansheng could also come in. The whole family stayed away and pretended not to see them.

Shen Cui stared at the bustling city, feeling excited in her heart. Xu Tiansheng was no longer worthy of her, and she, Shen Cui, was bound to become a master.

Not long after, a leader of the officers and soldiers came over. The person in charge of collecting the money gave him part of the money, and then everyone followed him to the entrance of the Yamen office.

Because there were too many people, everyone had to queue up again?
The officer in charge was a middle-aged man in his 40s wearing official uniform. He looked like he had not woken up. After accepting the money handed over by the soldier leader, he felt a little more energetic.

"You all came from the north?"

"That's right!"

The middle-aged officer glanced outside from a distance and frowned slightly. There were too many people here. The previously vacant village was filled yesterday.

In his heart, he couldn't help scolding those guys who were guarding the city. They only looked at the money and did not consider the actual situation. They threw all the problems to him.

He raised his head, looked at the guard leader, and couldn't help complaining, "What are you thinking about? Didn't I say it before, already..."

"Cough cough!"

The soldier stopped him from continuing and whispered, "Our adults have said that there is Long'an County to the west of Shuiyun City, and there is also an empty village in Long'an County!"

"Ah, empty village?"

The officer looked confused and suddenly thought of something, his expression changed slightly, "What?"

"My lord, I have already figured it out after thinking about it. In this case, I will go back and resume my life first!"

"Oh, I forgot to mention it. We have already informed the prefect about this matter, so you don't need to make another trip!"

A few soldiers said something, which made the officer frown, looking at the money, it felt a little hot to his hands.

"That's all, let them go to Long'an County!"

After receiving the money, the official sent over several government servants and ordered them to take people to Long'an County, which is under the jurisdiction of Shuiyun City.

Then everyone followed the government officials out of the city and went to Long'an County in the west. Because it was a long way and they had to walk, they didn't arrive until early the next morning.

When the magistrate of Long'an County heard that these people would be placed in that empty village, he was immediately frightened.

"Ah, did I hear correctly? They all settled in that empty village?"

In the yamen, the person responsible for handling settlement matters also looked surprised. He was about to speak, but was frightened by the fierce looks of several yamen servants.

They represent the Shuiyun City government and they cannot afford to offend.

Without saying a word, he immediately registered the name information of everyone in Stone Village and stamped it.

Even if the formalities are completed, in a few days the government will send officials to distribute the yellow books to individual refugees.

After completing the settlement procedures, the head of the government officials talked to the county magistrate and warned them before leading the team to leave.

The county magistrate was immediately frightened. How dare he go against the magistrate? He hurriedly promised and sent the person away like a god.

After seeing off the officers and soldiers, the county magistrate called over a few government officials, gave them some low-key instructions, and then took everyone on the road.

Song Jinyue paid close attention to the details. Although she couldn't hear clearly what these people said, she had an intuition that the empty village she went to was not a good place.

Looking at the other people, they were still unaware and looked excited. It was difficult to say anything. They only told their own thoughts to their own family members. Mrs. Song and others felt that she was overthinking.

Soon, we arrived at the empty village. The road sign at the entrance of the village was engraved with the three characters "Peace Village".

"How come there isn't even a single house within a radius of five miles!" Liu Guisheng hesitated for a long time before suddenly speaking. "There was a war before and everyone was killed!"

This sentence made everyone feel a chill on their backs. In comparison, they were so lucky.

"I won't say anything more. I'll give you a house first!"

Afterwards, several government officials took the registration list and assigned houses to everyone. Those with a large population would be given a larger house, and those with a small population would be given a smaller house.

In fact, each family has a large population, but there are so many houses in the village that if one is not enough, two are needed.

Everyone was noisy and chose people they were friends with as neighbors, and the government officials also let them. This was originally a large village with more than 300 houses and fertile land around it. If it weren't for certain circumstances, these people wouldn't be able to get their turn. villagers.

The Song family, Liu Guisheng and other four families who were friends with each other became neighbors. The Song family was in the middle, followed by the other four families.

They thought that since there were many old, weak, sick and disabled in the Song family, it would be best to be in the middle position so that others could easily rush over if there was an emergency.

The Song family feels warm in their hearts. Their family is harmonious and they now have friendly neighbors. It’s really not that good!
After allocating the houses, the Yamen talked to everyone about some of the policies currently issued by the court. Considering the war and natural disasters this year, they will not be charged any taxes this year. When the next spring comes, they will only need to plant the fields distributed to them. OK, then pay the tax based on the actual situation.

“I don’t have to pay taxes this year. Is this true?”

"Of course it's true!"

"That's great!"

Along the way, everyone's biggest concern was the issue of taxes. Now that worry is gone, everyone feels extremely happy.

"Okay, it's getting late. We still have to go back to recover. Let's go first!"

The government officials did not dare to stay here any longer, so they hurriedly left after a few words of warning.

"It should have been like this a long time ago. My family won't be ruined!"

A refugee who had paid the money held his head and cried loudly. His emotions quickly infected more people.

Everyone in Stone Village felt better, and they returned to their houses.

Song Hailong opened the unlocked door, and a large amount of dust rushed into his face.

"Cough cough!"

"It's too dirty, let's clean it up first!"

Song Jinyue pinched her nose and looked at the cobwebs in the house. It must have been unoccupied for a long time. It had only been a month since the enemy troops entered the city. How could it be so dirty? She suddenly felt suspicious.

He glanced around the corner and saw a broom, so he took it over.

Mrs. Song tore up some moldy quilts and used them as rags, while Song Hailong and Song Haitao went out to fetch water with a bucket.

There is a well in the center of the village. When Brother Song Hailong passed by, the well was crowded with people.

"I guess we won't be able to wait in line for a while. Let's go to the river outside the village to get some water first!"

Song Hailong frowned and said, when everyone finishes fetching water tomorrow, the situation will probably be better.

"It can only be this way!"

Song Haitao nodded, and then the two brothers left the team and headed outside the village. Others saw them and some of them followed.

However, as soon as they walked out of the village, they saw someone running back in a panic.
