Chapter 235 Chapter 234

No matter how prosperous Yong'an City is, there are no big guys. The old man Qi knows everyone too well, just like he said, he hasn't really settled down, and everything else is empty, and he doesn't have the heart to pay attention to others.

What's more, the Wu family is too real, there are dozens of carriages waiting there not far from the boat, they almost get into the carriage after getting off the boat, and then they all sit in the carriage and pull them all the way out of the city.

The wharf carriages and horses here are not docked outside the wharf. Because of the high price of oxen and horses, there are not many people who actually have horse-drawn carts and oxen carts. Generally, they are people with a little family background, and the wharf is large enough. There is a certain distance, so the horse-drawn carts and ox carts that pick up and drop off people are all parked directly on the shore.

In addition, those with their own ships like the Wu family have covered a large area alone. The Wu family's ships are all parked at the Wharf of Yong'an City. Including the ship they just got off, there are four ships.

The stopping point marked with a big wooden sign with the word Wu is not too crowded if there are hundreds of carriages parked there.

It can be seen from this: Mr. Wu's business is quite successful.

After leaving the pier, the four hundred people were divided into two groups, one on the left and one on the right.

One group of people was led directly out of the city by the old man Qi, and the other group was led by Butler Wu with Qi Kang'an and representatives from various households to the government office to change the household registration book.

What they changed this time was their real foothold in the future, and also their future root.

Although Steward Wu's swearing guarantee is fine, shopkeeper Zhao also said that Mr. Wu had already made arrangements, but he didn't see the changed household registration in front of him, and the big guy was still worried.

"Sister, do you think it will go well?" Da Lang bit the steamed bun, his face wrinkled into a bun.

Qi Bao'er sat directly on the ground leaning against Yinzai's stomach, and she, who was also holding a steamed bun and chewing on it, didn't lift her eyes when she heard this.

"It must be going well, otherwise why did they bother with that old nose to ship us here?" Butler Wu was so honest that each steamed bun was made bigger than her face.

Listen, listen to this, it's still shipping by sea, what kind of goods are they?
"Brother, I think you're so stupid. We've all come here, but it's not going well. Maybe we can be driven away. We have to be arranged." The one who spoke was the big-hearted San Lang who was also eating steamed buns.

The steamed buns in Er Lang's hands, who was squatting next to San Lang, suddenly tasted bad, and the hand holding the steamed buns froze in mid-air, and he looked at San Lang dully.

"Third brother, you're wrong to think this way. If things don't go well, we'll still be refugees, but we've changed from refugees from Yingzhou to refugees from the imperial court." It was Si Lang who spoke.

As for the three of Wuliuqilang, who were holding scallion pancakes and eating them, they didn't even bother to listen to what the brothers and sisters were talking about.

Fortunately, Da Lang's worries did not come true. On the contrary, Qi Kang'an and the others not only smiled when they left the city, but also seemed to bring back great news.

"The original plan for us was a place called Rongxi Village. There were more than 600 households there, and there were about [-] registered residents. The clerk said that if the unregistered ones were included, the number would be around [-]."

Oops, looking at this worrying old man who never gets to the point at the beginning, old man Qi's hands itch again.

Eyebrows upside down: "Speak to the point."

Qi Kang'an was so yelled at with a smile, he stood up straight and said: "The clerk told us that Rongxi Village is almost the same as our village, and they are all of the same clan. If we go to their village, we may be excluded. Nothing is convenient.

He showed us the map again, and there was a village about the same distance from Yong'an City and Rongxi Village. The scribe didn't say what it was called before, but now that village is deserted.

I inquired, and the village was not abandoned due to some catastrophe, but the village was not big at first, and the epidemic a hundred years ago was also affected. Later, all the villagers moved to other villages, and it was abandoned there. "

"What do you mean?" It wasn't what he thought, was it?
The old man Qi didn't take advantage of the joy at all, but stared at Qi Kang'an with an increasingly unkind expression.

Not only the father, but the girl next to him also looked at him like a fool.

This made Qi Kang'an's originally excited mood feel like being splashed with cold water. Once the excitement passed, he finally came to his senses, chewing and grinding out that there seemed to be something wrong.

At this time, a middle-aged man among the three yamen servants who came with Qi Kang'an and the others came over. He had a good attitude, and his speech was not as arrogant as the yamen servants they met when they were in their hometown.

"Old man, it's like this. The whole village of Rongxi Village is surnamed Pang, and it's an offshoot of the Pang Da family in Jingzhaoyi in the capital. If you merge into it, maybe...
The terrain of the abandoned village mentioned by Brother Qi is not worse than that of Rongxi Village, or even better. It is also surrounded by mountains and rivers, but the terrain there is higher than that of Rongxi Village.

Not only do you not have to worry about flooding, but there are also many places that can be used for farming.

Moreover, our lord prefect has also made a special case for you. After you settle in, you will form a village of your own. You can choose the name of the village yourself.

The land is distributed according to the head first, and if you feel that it is not enough, you can buy it yourself.

As for the others, you can elect the village chief or Li Zhenghou first, and then let them directly negotiate with the magistrate. "

Hearing this, old man Qi was even more suspicious.

This benefit is too great.

Not to mention that the refugees can form a village of their own, but that they were originally under the management of Jiuchang Town, but now they have to directly discuss this with the prefect.

The old man Qi looked at Qi Kang'an.

His silly eldest son was so guilty that he didn't even dare to look him in the eye.

Ha ha.

Knowing son Moruo father.

Seeing the silly boy's reaction, the old man Qi didn't know that the matter was basically a foregone conclusion.

What else can the old man think about at this time?

I can only take one step at a time. Is it possible that the father tore his son's face in public?
In a blink of an eye, the old man Qi smiled and thanked the middle-aged yamen servant: "It's too much trouble for the magistrate."

The yamen servant,,, the head of the criminal yamen is well-informed, even though the expression of the old man Qi only changed for a moment, he can still see it clearly, and he knows that this is a smart man.

In addition, the magistrate had mentioned a few words in front of him, so he had an idea of ​​where he should put this group of people.

The smile remained unchanged and he said: "It just so happens that I am in charge today, so I will escort you there, and it just so happens that you know the way, and if there is anything to do in the future, you can also come to the city to find me.

Oh, I forgot to mention that my surname is Xing, and I currently hold the post of Yatou. "

Ouch, the meaning of friendship was conveyed directly through the words.

The old man Qi is not a person who does not know what is good or bad, regardless of what people really think in his heart, it sounds comfortable to say that.

However, the old man Qi is not the kind of self-deprecating person, he didn't climb up just because of the words of Xing Yatou, and he didn't shrink back and lower his self-worth.

He also offered his hand to the criminal yatou with a smile on his face, "Thank you, it is really inconvenient for us to be in trouble now, and when we settle down, if the criminal yatou appreciates his face, he will definitely come home for a drink."

The smile on Xing Yatou's face became more and more real, "I must, I must, then don't think I'm nagging, old man."

Hey~, now it's called the old man.

"It's too late to welcome, my wife's craftsmanship is not bad, so don't be disgusted by then."

"Oh, then I must come to ask for a bite. You don't know, old man, the food made by my family is almost inedible."
