Society is afraid of indulging in infrastructure in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 46 46. Refugee Life Transformation
The lives of refugees resettled outside Qing'an City have undergone earth-shaking changes.

At first, it was just talking about reclaiming land to recruit workers and subsidizing rations for everyone.

One person is given a full 30 kilograms of grain per month, and it is said to be a subsidy for one person's food rations.

This amount is enough for one person to eat for a month. In this disaster year, it is enough for a family to eat for a month.

Zhang Hu's family was the first batch of farmers who applied for land reclamation.Zhang Hu's family came along with everyone in Zhangjia Village. There was only one young man in the family, with a 70-year-old mother, a frail and sick wife, an infant daughter, and a scrawny eight-year-old child.The whole family also took a deep breath to make it to Qing'an City. Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder, the burden on the family of five is getting heavier and heavier, and the rice porridge donated is getting thinner and thinner. Countless people are in panic all day long, afraid that God ran out of food.

When they were desperate, news of recruiting workers came from the north of the city, saying that they would reclaim the land and return food.

30 catties of food per person per month, and giving priority to treatment for relatives who are sick is simply a great blessing.

It turned out that the village chief of Zhangjia Village took on the task of recording and recruiting workers, became a steward of this work, and received a bunch of copper coins.This is something they, the displaced refugees, cannot even imagine.

Zhang Hu was helpless, and went with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, after only five days of work, half a month's food was paid in advance, and the whole family finally had enough to eat.The little steward also said that the higher-ups ordered that if you do well this month, everyone will be fed next month, and maybe there will be green vegetables to eat.

Zhang Hu walks these days as if he is stepping on cotton. Seeing the light in his mother's, his wife's and children's eyes, he sighs in his heart that he is on the right path.

"Huzi, you've finished your work." Aunt Li from Zhangjia Village lived next to his tent, she stood there as if she had been waiting for a long time, her hands and feet were trembling with cold, but she pretended to be nonchalant and slapped Greeting, "You are still recruiting, can my Mavericks get in?"

Zhang Xiaoniu, an only child in Aunt Li's family, was initially afraid that the workers would be cheated and used as black laborers, and would be whipped every day and forced to work, so she did not dare to go. Seeing that Zhang Hu's family was getting better and better, she felt a little regretful.

Zhang Hu paused. Quite a few people had asked him this question recently, "Aunt Li, the manager said it's not that she doesn't want to hire her, but that she doesn't have enough food."

When Aunt Li heard this, she knelt down on the ground and cried loudly, "What can we do, we are also hungry..."

"Aunt Li, Aunt Li, don't cry. I heard that the new city lord of Qing'an City has made arrangements. In a few days, there will be new jobs, and new land will be cultivated. The manager quietly told me that the following jobs will not only involve Qingqing There are also women in their prime, and our chief steward is now a powerful figure, saying that City Lord Mu will let us all live."

Aunt Li had no strength to cry. She wiped her tears after hearing this and looked up at Zhang Hu, "Really?"

Zhang Hu lowered his voice and said hastily: "It's absolutely true, I saw the chief steward give our village chief orders today."

Aunt Li stopped making trouble and got up quickly, "Our village chief is now a small manager. I once helped his mother-in-law. I'm going to check it out now."

"Aunt Li, don't go there. Everyone is staring at work now. You will inevitably leak the news when you go to the village chief. If this word spreads, it will be your calf's turn?" Aunt Li's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly Nodded and rubbed his hands together, "You're right, I'll wait, can you borrow some more food?"

Zhang Hu's wife rushed out of the tent, "No, no, my family can't even eat enough snacks, and my daughter only survives on a few mouthfuls of rice soup!"

When Aunt Li saw Zhang Hu's wife coming out, she retreated into the tent, not daring to provoke her again.

"Why do you care about her? When you were going to register, she said a lot of sarcastic things, saying that you would never come back once you left."

Zhang Hu was tired and pushed his wife into the tent.

The tent was crowded with a family, but it was not too warm, and there was air leakage everywhere.Fortunately, they have rice and food in their pots, and this day is much better than others.

"The tent is leaking everywhere. I still have to tear off my clothes, or I won't be able to mend them." Zhang Hu's wife said with reddened eyes as she picked up the child.

"Keep it up, I heard that the city wants to build a house for us, and the manager is currently selecting a site."

In fact, Zhang Hu didn’t quite believe such a fairytale story. Seeing that his family didn’t say anything, he said, “The grain I’ve grown these days is said to be immortal. It can produce 3000 catties!"

"How much!" The whole family exclaimed.

　I changed a bucket of grain to thirty kilograms for better understanding~
