Chapter 328 Panic, Surprise

The village chief continued: "When the time comes, these refugees will live in the village and help you continue to take care of the things in the fields, so you don't have to worry about crops."

"As for where we will move, Mr. Ning also helped arrange it. We will never have no place to live. It's just that the conditions are a bit difficult. Fortunately, the weather is getting hot now, so it shouldn't be a problem if everyone squeezes in."

As soon as the village chief said this, everyone no longer had any worries and opened their mouths to agree.

A place to live was provided, food was planted with help, and they even received a sum of money in the end. What else could they disagree with?

Everyone was overjoyed, and some even thought about whether they could stay with relatives in the city, and then they could look around the city to see if they could find part-time workers.

"Village chief, can we go directly to our relatives?" Someone asked after thinking about it.

The village chief nodded, "No problem, as long as you have a place to live, you can go wherever you want. If you don't have a place to live, just follow me."

The village chief said some more things to pay attention to, and after confirming that everyone had no objections, he said: "Okay, since everyone agrees, let's go back and pack our luggage quickly. If we move there earlier, we can allocate better ones earlier. place."

There is a reward for persuading the villagers to temporarily move. If their village is the first to complete the relocation, the village chief himself will not only receive a reward of ten taels of silver, but also a credit, which will then be his capital. When accumulated to a certain extent, it can rise.

Of course, if the village chief is found to have intimidated the villagers and resorted to violent relocation, they will also be punished. Regardless of whether these people are veterans from the cadre school, Ning Changrong will not show mercy.

……

Good news keeps coming, more and more villages are being persuaded to relocate, and many have already begun to move.

As for the place where they relocated, of course it was the villages near Taizhou Prefecture and Yanzhou. Those villages would also receive certain silver rewards for taking in these villagers, but they might not be as large as the relocated villagers.

Thanks to Ning Changrong's prestige and reputation over the years, the relocation went very smoothly.

In just half a month, the villages that should be vacated have been vacated.

Ning Changrong then began to arrange for the refugees to move into the village, first focusing on the elderly, weak and young. These people were the first group to be arranged into houses in the village, and the remaining young people were arranged to make temporary structures in open spaces in the village. in that thatched house.

……

After Ning Changrong gave the order, countless people took action.

Village Chief Ning led a group of people to the entrance of the village, followed by several soldiers guarding him.

"Okay, Xiya Village is ahead. You will live here for the next ten days." Village Chief Ning raised his finger and pointed out the old and weak in the crowd, asking them to stand up first. The refugees who were pointed out were a little timid. Afraid to come forward, some adults even hide their children behind.

Even though Chang Yuan gave them food these days, they still didn't dare to trust each other absolutely.

"Sir, if there is something that we, the stronger ones, can do, let us do it." A man with a child put the child behind a woman and smiled shyly at Village Chief Ning.

Village Chief Ning didn't know that they were thinking wrongly, so he laughed and scolded: "Ganggun, it's your turn to do this good thing? Only the old and the weak can be given priority in allocating houses. People like you can only live in thatched houses in the village."

Village Chief Ning's attitude was not polite, as if he was beating and scolding his children and nephews at will.But this attitude made the refugees breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing them like this, Village Chief Ning smiled and cursed again: "What a bastard. I tell you so hard but you don't believe it. Let's see what you have in you that is worthy of General Chang's trouble."

Everyone laughed and said nothing. They only felt that the old man in front of them was a little friendly. This was how the elders scolded people in their hometown.

"Okay, okay, the old and the weak should stand up for me first. The old man will take care of his children. If there is no old man at home, a woman will come over. Someone should take care of the children."

Village Chief Ning arranged things in an orderly manner according to the policies assigned by Ning Changrong.

After everyone cooperated, the adults stood on the other side with their children and followed Village Chief Ning into the village first.

"Starting from the row of houses in front, there are four people living in each house. There are exactly [-] houses in total, which is enough for you group of people."

Later, after the old and weak were arranged, Village Chief Ning pointed to the remaining people and said to them: "You live in the thatched houses in the open space in the village. Did you see it? It's the ones in front."

Everyone followed Village Chief Ning's gesture and saw that they were rows of very simple thatched houses, without even roofs. There were grids drawn with white lines around the houses, and they were framed within the grid, arranged in an orderly manner.

I gave them a circle of land and didn't let them build anywhere, so as not to make a mess later.

Anyway, these people are just living for free these days, so let them do the rest of the work.

Don't develop the bad habit of asking for food.

"These thatched huts haven't been built yet. You can do the rest of the work yourself. Find everything you need in the village. If you don't have it, ask the soldiers guarding the village entrance and they will get it for you."

"Have you seen all these places in the village? While you live here, these jobs are all yours. I will make it clear to you who does what."

Village Chief Ning explained: "Every day you have to gather at the dam site to check whether anyone is sick."

Village Chief Ning looked at them seriously, "Did you hear what I said clearly?"

Everyone nodded in unison for fear of being chased away if they were a little slow in answering.

This condition is great, much better than they imagined!
They were living well at the city gate, but they were suddenly taken away by name. All of them felt uneasy, fearing that they would be dragged away and killed, or something terrible happened. They didn't expect that they would be arranged to live in the village. Isn't that what they did? Live a little?This was not even half the work they did at home.

Everyone is thinking that even if they are allowed to live here forever, they are willing!
Haven't you seen how well the food in the fields is growing?There are also many ditches that carry water, so there is no shortage of water for irrigating food!
Seeing that everyone really listened, Village Chief Ning said: "Don't be envious. You will be able to live such a good life after you pass the quarantine period. When the time comes, wherever there is a shortage of people, we will arrange for you to go there. Our General Chang will meet I will provide you with grain seeds, and when the time comes, you just have to farm the land well, and your life will get better and better."

They had heard this from ordinary soldiers before, but no one had any reaction. They thought it would be good if they could eat enough. I don’t know how many days this porridge can last, but now they heard what Village Chief Ning said and everyone believed it. .

I can't help but believe it. Mr. Ning took so much trouble to arrange a place for them to live. Didn't he just treat them as cattle and horses?So they are willing to believe what the other party says.
