Wu Chao: Take the whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 92 Chen Zhicai joins the four princes camp
The more Chen Zhicai read it, the happier he felt. The contents of the notice were exactly what he told that person last night.

Since the nobleman adopted his method, it means that he must have also caught the nobleman's eyes.

He, Chen Zhicai, is about to stand up, and a bright future is in front of him.

Chen Zhicai read the contents of the notice in a high voice, almost breaking his voice.

The contents of the notice are the arrangements for these refugees outside the city.

First, the drought in King Changding's fief has eased, and the refugees outside the city can return to the fief of King Changding the same way.

Everyone traveled through mountains and rivers and finally came to this place, so naturally they didn't want to leave at this time.

So the surrounding refugees began to urge Chen Zhicai to continue reading the next content.

Second, refugees outside the city can enter the city for resettlement by paying a fee of five taels of silver each.

The hearts of the people were cold again. They could come here without much food left on them, let alone money.

Moreover, even if there are no disasters or difficulties in normal life, five taels of silver for a family is not bad, how could it be possible to afford the five taels of silver per person to enter the city.

Chen Zhicai immediately read on, "You can also voluntarily join the Fourth Prince's Army..."

"What? Join the army!"

The onlookers shouted loudly, apparently extremely repulsed by this matter.

You must know that if someone in the family enlists in the army, then the younger generation must also join the army when they reach a certain age.

Chen Zhicai's voice was interrupted, and he was a little unhappy.

However, he continued to read: "Families of those who join the army can be resettled. The above choices are all subject to the principle of voluntariness. Everyone can make their own choices. Don't linger outside the city gate for too long, otherwise they will be treated as voluntary military registration."

After reading, Chen Zhicai added with a smile when he saw the agitated refugees: "The fourth prince is really thinking about us people. He has no fixed place at the moment. The fourth prince is willing to take us useless people into the army and provide us with food and clothing. worry-free..."

Chen Zhicai boasted that the four princes have everything in the sky and nothing on earth, and it should be that he turned the unwillingness of enlisting in the military into a good thing that everyone can't ask for.

Everyone was a little shaken, did they really misunderstand the fourth prince?

In a place on the tower, a man in noble clothes stood with his hands behind his back, looking down.

A four-clawed flood dragon was outlined with gold thread on the robe the man was wearing.

And he is the master of this fiefdom, that is, the current emperor's favorite fourth prince.

The direction the fourth prince was looking down was the direction of Chen Zhicai who was reading the notice in the crowd.

He nodded in satisfaction, and looked in Chen Zhicai's direction with appreciation.

An elderly man standing behind him said: "If the prince takes a fancy to that kid, bring him in, and it will also relieve the prince's great cause."

The old man is a more prestigious staff member in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.

They rushed out of the city last night, and when they were talking, they happened to be heard by Chen Zhicai who was up at night.

They originally wanted to kill Chen Zhicai who unfortunately bumped into their conversation.

Perhaps it was the strong desire to survive that made Chen Zhicai's mind run fast. He thought of some ways to solve the fourth prince's current troubles and said them out, wanting to take a gamble.

And the truth is, he was right.

The appreciation in the eyes of the fourth prince and the old man did not seem to be fake, and today he even posted his method.

There are too many refugees gathered outside the city, and it will cost a lot to resettle them all.

But the emperor is now obsessed with Taoism and doesn't care about government affairs at all, so naturally he hasn't issued an order to resettle refugees so far.

The fourth prince wanted to get rid of these refugees but didn't want to tarnish his reputation, so he was having a lot of headaches because of this matter.

Meanwhile, he had another headache.

The imperial court is becoming more and more chaotic, and the emperor may go to heaven every day, so he must hold enough chips in his hand.

King An was still unwilling to stand on his side, so he could only find ways to increase the strength of his troops first.

So Chen Zhicai talked about this method that can not only send out refugees but also enrich the army.

The fourth prince hummed lightly, turned and left, and said, "Find an opportunity to bring him and his family in."

Downstairs, after Chen Zhicai read all the contents of the notice, he got out of the crowd and left.

And the people in Jiangjia Village also left with him.

After he left, the people of Jiangjia Village surrounded him and asked about the contents of the notice.

"Zhicai, then joining the military is a lowly status. No matter how you look at it, this is not a good place to go."

Chen Zhicai smiled, and began to exert the power of his three-inch tongue again, fooling around!

After catching up, the time has entered December.

Because it was the first month of the Jiang family's arrival, life was very busy.

Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang Fugui have followed the village chief to the county to get the land deed of the house they bought.

The village head Gu also helped to ask if anyone in the village wanted to sell their land. Coincidentally, one of the families who wanted to sell their land was the one they were renting.

The owner of the house rented by the Jiang family is Gu, and his full name is Gu Quan.

Their family opened a noodle shop in the town, and the business was pretty good, but the ancient family was small, only a couple with a pair of children living in the town.

The business in the town is booming, so naturally there is no time to take care of the fields and land in the village.

They originally wanted to sell the field, but unfortunately they couldn't find a buyer.

Just that day when the village chief took the Jiang family and the Wang family to the county to apply for the land deed and came back to the town, he remembered that he wanted to tell Gu Quan about the renting of the house.

The members of the Jiang family spend a lot of money, and the village head Gu has a good impression of them, and he is willing to say a few words when he sees what they don't know.

On the way there, the village head Gu briefly talked about the situation of the Gu family.

One of the two parties wanted to sell the field, and the other wanted to buy the field. After meeting, they naturally hit it off.

The Gu family has ten acres of paddy fields, and it costs sixty taels of silver to buy them all.

Of the ten acres of land, the Jiang family asked for seven acres, and the Wang family asked for three acres.

The brothers settled the accounts clearly, since they have settled down in the village, the money to buy the fields will naturally come from each other.

Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang directly handed over the money for buying the land to Gu Quan.

Several people went to the county again, and the matter of transferring the ownership of the land was also settled.

At the time of the transfer, they also inquired about a piece of news.

These days, other refugees have also come here one after another, but they are arranged to go to other places.

The government also posted notices to inform these newly arrived refugees.

Land reclamation can be carried out in the place where the settlement is located, and the land obtained from reclamation can be freely controlled by the land reclamation person.

In addition, the newly opened land will not be taxed for five years, but the people who can open up the wasteland can only be the refugees this time, and the original residents are not allowed.

However, there is also a time limit. After next autumn, you can't open up wasteland at will.

Hearing the news, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang were all overjoyed.

I have just settled the matter of the paddy fields, and I was thinking about where to buy another two acres of dry land. When I feel drowsy, I will give you a pillow.

Even if those wastelands are opened, the harvest will not be good in the first two years, but it is better than nothing.

Once the land deed and the field were settled, the big rock in everyone's heart was relieved, and everyone devoted themselves to building the house.

And after Jiang Zhiyue went to the town that day, she directly put the thoughts in her heart into practice.

She dug out several martial arts novels and fantasy novels from the corner of the space.

And the biggest entertainment activity for the Jiang family before rest every night is listening to Jiang Zhiyue telling stories.

While she was talking, she asked Da Lang, who was literate at home, to write notes on paper, which was now a thick stack.

Jiang Zhiyue was thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to deal with these manuscripts.

Since Jiang's family arrived in Longxian Village, except for the Fanghou incident that day, even some quarrels on weekdays would be harmless, and everything else was going well.

After they settled in the village, they dug a small piece of land next to the house, bought some seasonal vegetables from other people's homes in the village and planted them.

On the fifth day of December, the Wang family's new house was completed.

Huang Huaihua stood outside the yard looking at the brand-new green brick and tile house, Le's mouth couldn't close.

She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Hey, I can still live in such a house in my life, it's really worth it."

She pulled Wang Hao who was next to her, pulled him and walked in.

Others also followed in, the courtyard was large enough, even if everyone stood in, there was still room.

Although everyone has been here many times, this completely built house is different from the one under construction.

Huang Huaihua pointed to one of the rooms and said: "Hao'er, you will live in this room when you move in. This room is bright and bright. I will talk about a marriage with you next year. In my mother's heart, it will be complete." .”

Hearing his mother's words, Wang Hao subconsciously looked in Jiang Zhiyue's direction.

Jiang Zhiyue was putting her hand on the wall and gently pushing it, although she couldn't pay attention to the conversation between Huang Huaihua and Wang Hao.

Wang Hao withdrew his gaze, and said with some disinterest, "Mother, don't worry about this matter."

Hearing this, Huang Huaihua's palm of the Tathagata landed directly on Wang Hao's back.

She only thinks that Wang Hao is losing face, and she is too embarrassed to say this in front of everyone.

She laughed and reprimanded: "Why don't you worry, you will be eighteen in another year."

"Mother will find someone for you first, and if we find the right one, we will propose marriage."

Thinking of getting married and having children, Wang Hao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that his mother would talk endlessly, so he simply shut up.

He likes women like his cousin Zhiyue, who are confident and bright.

But I don't know my cousin...

Wang Hao threw out the thoughts in his heart, thinking that even if his mother introduced the woman, he just had to agree to it.

And the yellow pagoda tree next to it was still talking enthusiastically.

"We are not familiar with this place when we first came here, but I asked the aunts in your village to pay attention, and if there is a suitable one, they must be appointed to tell us."

She herself said that it was not enough, so she pulled Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun together and said, "Dalang and Erlang are not young anymore. If there is a suitable one, it must be settled. If they are as old as them, the children will crawl on the ground."

Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Sun were obviously very interested in this question, and the three of them chatted together.
