The fierce wife is the happy head of the family

Chapter 368
After there were refugees in Chenjia Village, Chen Shengcai went to Tanping County, found the county magistrate, explained the situation to him, and asked the county magistrate what to do.

The county magistrate said that the war in the north was only temporary. Now that the imperial court has allocated some relief funds to the refugees from all over the country, they will come here from time to time. At that time, they can distribute some to the villages and towns that have taken in the refugees.

"Brother, you are an honest person. There are so many refugees, we can't deal with them. How about you settle them down and let them reclaim wasteland and forest. If they like to live in your village, they can live on. If they want to live in your village in the future If you leave, you won't suffer any losses, right?" The county magistrate didn't want to deal with so many things, so he assigned some things to the villages and towns, and everyone dealt with them together, and the things could be completed.

"Our Chenjia Village has a small population and a vast land, so there is no problem in opening up wasteland." Chen Shengcai said calmly. He had considered the county magistrate's words when he came, but it was just a report.

The county magistrate praised him a few more times, and Chen Shengcai went back.

"How is the village chief? What did the county magistrate say?" The villagers hurriedly asked, it was always inconvenient to have so many people in the village.

"The county magistrate didn't say anything, but asked everyone to live in harmony." Chen Shengcai said calmly, where the mountains and forests could be used and how to deal with those refugees.

The refugees seemed to be afraid that the county magistrate would assign them to other places, so they sent a few people to inquire about the situation. Chen Shengcai didn't say anything, but let them live for a while, and the refugees went back anxiously.

These days, the villagers will send some melons and fruits, and occasionally some cassava. look.

The second aunt looked at them pitifully, and occasionally gave them something to eat. At first they dared not take it, but then they took it generously. After a long time, they came here from time to time. The second aunt was a little angry and stopped giving them food. .

"I told you not to be so generous, it's all right now, they will show up sometime, don't scare our Kemin Keyuan." Xiaozi said.

The second aunt pouted, "I'm just being kind. I don't know that they come every day, and they dare not come in. If Ke Min Keyuan is frightened, I can't spare them."

"That's what I said, if you really want to be chased away, you don't dare." Xiao Zi told the second aunt what was in her heart, and the second aunt let out a cold snort and left.

After a long period of ideological struggle, Chen Shengcai called the villagers to the ancestral hall, and expressed the idea of ​​selling some wasteland to the refugees for reclamation.

"As long as we don't sell our own fields, the places where no one is farming will definitely be fine." The villagers have no objections at all. Everyone knows that the wasteland is remote and the soil is not good, and there are many weeds. It is not necessary to open up wasteland. It's not that easy, and I don't know if the refugees can bear the pain.

"Give them the mountains and forests in remote places too." Chen Shengcai continued.People in the countryside live by the crops in the fields and the things in the mountains, so he is worried that the villagers will have opinions.

"Our own fields can't be cultivated, and we have no time to take care of other places. So, let the village chief give them what you want. We have no objections." The villagers are extraordinarily generous, and they also sympathize with the refugees.

"Then it's decided. I'll talk to them tomorrow." Chen Shengcai sighed, and the matter finally came to an end.

The refugees originally planned to go back after a while when the north calmed down. They still paid attention to the idea of ​​returning to their roots, but Chen Shengcai asked them to open up wasteland and afforestation in the local area. After some discussion, they felt that they still had to rebuild their hometown after returning. It's built, right here.

"What qualifications do we people have to talk about family?" Some people feel depressed and always feel that their life is just like this, with no future and no future.

"Now we have a place to live and something to eat, and we are all together. There is nothing more beautiful than this moment." An old man sighed with emotion. He is a person who is about to step into the loess, what more can he ask for?The only regret is that I can't return to my hometown and return to my roots.

"Don't think too much, everyone. Since ancient times, many people have moved from their hometowns to open up wasteland in places where there is no one, and they have a good life in the end." Someone comforted, "Compared with other people, we are lucky. Yes, the people in Chenjiacun are very kind to us, we should be grateful."

A few days later, Chen Shengcai asked some villagers to take the refugees to see those wastelands. The villagers said shyly, "Many people have moved here in recent years, and the fields are almost divided. You are here!" , There is really no good field, please don’t mind, after the weeds are removed in these places, go to our field to spread some soil, spend some time to take care of it, get some plant ash, and then pour the manure on the crops, in time, You can get good crops.”

"It's nothing. Our north is still a yellow land. Aren't they all survived?" The representatives of the refugees were very relieved. It costs some money, and everyone has no money.

"If you have no objections, you can start farming." The villagers responded.

"Thank you." The refugee was grateful and went back.

Before reclaiming the wasteland, the refugees planned to make their living places better, and it was always inconvenient for everyone to live in one place.

"Let's go to the village chief and see if he can agree with us to build a house there?" Some people pointed to the dry river land.

"This may not work." Chen Shengcai shook his head, "It used to be a river, but it just dried up recently. If there is water again one day, wouldn't you be homeless?"

"As far as I know, there will be no water in a dry river." The refugee said based on his own experience, "The water in that river was originally connected to the canyon. If you divert the water from the canyon, there will be no diversion. , naturally dried up. It’s a pity to leave such a large open space unused, you don’t have to worry about us, we’ll be fine.”

Under the repeated emphasis of the refugees, Chen Shengcai agreed to let them build houses. They were very happy. The 500 people divided the river in units of homes, and stopped at the section of Gaojiapo. The houses were next to each other, and the allocation was just completed.

"If you want to build a mud house, you may have to wait until the beginning of spring before the mud will get acquainted." The villagers suggested.

"No, we can just build thatched houses. We will build better ones in the future when we have money." The refugee said calmly, thatch is everywhere, as long as it is well built, it can also shelter from wind and rain.

"Village chief, we need some wood. Can we borrow some wood from the villagers first, and we can pay back the money when we have money?" The thatched house can't be built on the river, but a formwork partition is required. Take a break.

"Give it to you." Chen Shengcai was very generous, and the refugees were very grateful.
