My whole family has crossed with Goldfinger

Chapter 51 One Word: Settling Down
The magistrate will resettle the refugees in a unified way, register first, and issue temporary household registration documents. Twenty households form a village, and then hire refugees to build houses, and then distribute wasteland. No tax is collected for the first two years, so that the refugees can rest and live. Get over it.

All the refugees wept with joy, knelt down facing the officials, and called the magistrate the Lord Qingtian.

All the refugees outside the city began to line up to register at the small official's office and receive temporary household registration documents.

After receiving the household registration documents, first use the household registration documents to line up in the free clinic huts set up at the gate of the city to see a doctor, and you can also receive two sets of medicines for free.

Then you can also get old quilts and old cotton clothes donated by wealthy households in the shack on the side.

Afterwards, the porridge shed that provides porridge can still receive a meal of porridge every day until all the refugees are settled.

The Xu family and other seven families lined up together, and they happened to be assigned to a village.

Immediately thereafter, a small official in charge of their village took them to a temporary village circled around the wasteland, selected capable laborers from these twenty households, and began to build houses.

It is a simple house of stone, adobe, thatch, and it is built quickly. Everyone is busy working together, and it takes less than two days to build a house for [-] households.

During this period, everyone can continue to receive the donated porridge at the gate of the city.

And those who are responsible for building the house can also be allocated steamed buns specially distributed by the government.

The government only focuses on helping each household build three houses. If it is not enough to live in, they will slowly expand their own house later.

As soon as the house was built, the officials withdrew, as did the porridge sheds at the gate of the city.

But the refugees all have a shelter, and they won't freeze to death in the coming winter.

More importantly, refugees can enter the city with temporary household registration documents. The city will not exclude refugees, and will hire refugees to do jobs. Everyone can work hard, earn money, and buy food to survive the winter.

When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom in the coming year, the government will distribute the seeds. When the grain has to be harvested, life will gradually improve.

After experiencing famine and life and death, the big guys are easily satisfied, and they feel very lucky to be able to settle down.

The family members felt the same way, and they had a small meeting together that night, and agreed that they would go to the city together in the morning to find work!

The rest of the people at home are responsible for reclaiming the wasteland.

Now that a house has been built and a family has settled down, the several families naturally live their own lives. They just go to the city to find work, and everyone is together to take care of them.

The arrangement for the old Xu's family to enter the city was that Xu Chunhe, father and son, Xu Chunshan, Xu Erlang, Ma's Zhou family, and Zhang Xiulan entered the city together.

There is not much wasteland allocated, so old man Xu and Xu Chunlin will slowly open it at home, and more people will go to the city to find work and earn money so that they can buy food.

As for Mrs. Xu, she took the two little girls, Xu Yinyin and Xu Wuya, to look for wild vegetables.

Before dawn, people from several families who wanted to enter the city gathered at the entrance of the village, as well as people from thirteen other households in the same village. Everyone had a companion along the way and went into the city together.

The place they were assigned to live was not far from Fucheng, and they could enter the city within half an hour's walk.

When they arrived at the gate of the city, the genius was dimly lit. When the gate opened, they entered through the small gate on the left. The guards checked their household registration documents one by one before letting them in.

Most of the people entering the city today are refugees who have settled down and come to the city to find work.

In the past, Xu Chunhe and others went to the city or went to the town to find work during the slack season. They knew that there was usually a special place in the city, and those who were looking for work went there to nest, so that they could wait for work without being headless It seems to be running around.

So I asked people about the place with a shy face, and went straight there when I entered the city.

When we arrived at the place, many people had nested under the low wall, some were refugees, and some were people from the vicinity of this prefecture.

At the beginning of Chen Shi, the city was bustling with people coming and going.

Not long after, people came to the low wall one after another.

The first one is to hire people to build a house, build a big house, move and do odd jobs, you need [-] people, and you can work continuously for a month.

Everyone crowded around to sell themselves.

The steward's eyes were coming and going, and he could clearly see the difference between the refugees and the other people. As if he had inadvertently missed the refugees, he quickly picked thirty people and led them away.

Later, a few more people came looking for work, and they all ignored the refugees intentionally or unintentionally.

After coming down several times, the rest under the low wall are all refugees.

This battle is not stupid, how can you not understand it?

Xu Chunhe sighed faintly, "They say they don't reject us, but people are not so easy to accept outsiders."

Xu Chunshan squatted with his legs crossed, looking at the road coming from the other side, biting a grass in his mouth, "Brother, don't worry, you can always wait until you live."

Xu Chunhe glanced at him, and wanted to say what do you know, the third child, you used to be lazy and quit doing the work in your own field, let alone come out to look for work, you bastard, you never came out to look for work, this is still a bride It's the first time for me to sit in a sedan chair.

Thinking in this way, he couldn't help but sighed for a while, then smiled slowly, thinking of something.

"Wait, it doesn't work if you don't wait." Uncle Zhang sighed, if he couldn't find a job, he wouldn't have the money to buy food, and he would have to starve.

After a while, someone came over from the other end, looked around at the people squatting or standing under the low wall, and said: "On the pier, find some people to unload and load the goods, who can do it?"

Carrying a big bag is hard work, and most people can't do it.

But after finally coming to work, quite a few people stepped forward.

Uncle Zhang, Uncle Zhang, Xu Chunhe, and Zheng Tiechui, who were already strong, hadn't eaten at the moment, and were singing in a flustered stomach. I guess they didn't need much strength, but let's grit our teeth and do it!

Xu Chunhe stood up, turned his head and saw that the third child hadn't moved, so he couldn't help but give him a hand.

Xu Chunshan was worried about his wife and son and didn't want to go, but he stood up after being dragged away by his elder brother.

These refugees are all skinny, and they can't tell who is doing a good job, so the manager can only look at their size, and soon some people are picked out. Uncle Zhang and others are also picked out because of their size. up.

Before leaving, they agreed to gather at the gate of the city after collecting work in the afternoon.

Xu Chunshan gave his son winks, indicating that he would take good care of his mother, and then left with him.

The few remaining members of the family watched them leave, staying and waiting for work.

It's not too early now, it's already mid-morning, and the chances of being alive are not great.

Sure enough, a group of people waited until noon, but they couldn't wait for the work, so they could only shake their heads and go back to the gate of the city, waiting for the others to finish their work and come to join.

Before the gate of the city was closed, Xu Chunshan and others who had been working all day rushed over, and everyone left the city together, and rushed home after dark.

At home, Mrs. Xu took Xu Yinyin and Xu Wuya to work all day, and found some wild vegetables, cooked wild vegetable soup, and waited for the people who went to the city to come back.

Those who had done the work were tired and at ease, and those who hadn't worked for a day were not at ease. Everyone wolfed down a big bowl of wild vegetable soup, and then sat down to rest slowly and talked about going to the city today.
