On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

Chapter 42: People from Ximaguan

Later in the evening, the chief clerk came and said to Ye Hongchang with a smile, "The household registration documents have been completed for you. From now on, you and your group will be residents of Wushan County."

Ye Hongchang said, "So fast?"

The chief registrar smiled and said, "General An has already spoken. The county magistrate will not wait for you. Naturally, he will seize the time to get it done for everyone. Now you only need to fill in your name, appearance and characteristics, and you can be naturalized."

Ye Hongchang took it and took a look, and really couldn't see any problem.

Although he was still a little confused as to why Magistrate Zheng was obviously unhappy, but he still actively helped them settle down, but without household registration, it would be very difficult later. It was a good thing to be naturalized now.

He discussed it with the others, and no one had any objections. The chief bookkeeper found several people to register them separately.

Ye Xiangxiang looked around and did not see Meng Chang and Meng Tianlang. He knew that they had no intention of naturalizing and did not mention it.

When everyone had their fingerprints pressed, the chief clerk said, "It's getting late today, so we'll just spend the night in this courtyard. As soon as it gets light tomorrow, I'll send someone to take you to Xiema Village."

After he took the people away, everyone became happy.

After working hard for so long, I just wanted to settle down, but I didn’t expect it to be so convenient.

Ye Zhida said, "Hongchang, you still have the ability. I didn't expect that we would be able to settle down in Dayan smoothly."

Hearing this, Ye Hongchang always felt uneasy. This thing was going too smoothly, which made people feel uneasy.

"Second uncle, let's have a good rest tonight. We'll make plans when we get there tomorrow."

After so long, I can finally sleep in a house. There are five rooms in this courtyard. Although it is very crowded, I can sleep in the wild, so sleeping here is more comfortable.

One night passed and Magistrate Zheng did not show up again. It was the bookkeeper who took them out of the county government office.

"I have already told you that they will take everyone to Xiema Village. Pack your things and set off now."

Although I always feel a little uneasy, it seems that Magistrate Zheng has indeed accomplished the matter for them.

Ye Hongchang clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Chief. If there is anything I can do to help you in the future, please let me know."

The chief clerk smiled but did not answer, "Let's go on our way first."

Two government officials led the way, and Ye Hongchang led the others to follow, all the way to their new home, Xiema Village.

The chief clerk waited for them to leave before sneering, "You still want to help me, but you should save your own life first."

He turned around and entered the county government office, assuming he would never see these people again.

Leaving the county seat, we headed all the way to Xiema Village, which became increasingly desolate as we walked.

I walked from morning to almost noon and still haven't reached the place yet.

Ye Hongchang said, "May I ask these two officials, how long will it take to arrive?"

The yamen servant said, "It's not that far. It depends on whether you want to take a rest or wait until we get there."

Ye Hongchang asked everyone for their opinions. Of course they were tired after walking all this way, but everyone still wanted to get there early and have a good rest.

"Let's talk about it when we get there. It won't hold you two up for too long." Ye Hongchang said politely.

The two government officials continued to lead the way, and Ye Hongfu asked curiously, "I wonder where this Xiema Village is and what do the people in the village do for a living?"

The two looked at each other and smiled, and one of them said, "The villagers naturally make a living by farming. Xiema Village has mountains, water, and beautiful scenery. There is no better scenery in Wushan County." A good village has come.”

Another person added, "Not only that, there is a lot of land, but there are not many people in the village, so it is a pity that no one is cultivating it."

Someone behind Ye Hongchang said, "It is better to have more land. We are not afraid of being tired. Then we can allocate more land and live a good life." Everyone was full of expectations, but Ye Xiangxiang always felt that there was something in the words of the two government officials.

If that place is really so nice, why is it so vast and sparsely populated? The people here are not fools.

It's already past noon, and it's finally almost here.

The yamen officer pointed, "That's right there. Do you see it? There are many houses."

Everyone was overjoyed, "I saw it. It's right there. We're finally at the right place."

When they got here, Ye Xiangxiang found a lot of horse manure on the roadside and couldn't help but become curious.

Horses were a rare thing at this time, and few households in the town had access to carriages. How could a village so far away be filled with horse manure?
  She asked curiously, "I wonder why there is so much horse manure here."

The yamen servant smiled and said, "If someone raises horses, they will naturally have horse dung. What's so strange about it? It's great to have horse dung. The land is fertile and the crops are harvested well. Don't you think so?"

The villagers responded with a smile, "Yes, yes, that's the truth."

Ye Xiangxiang had a bad premonition. As he was approaching the entrance of the village, he saw someone coming out on horseback. They were a man and a woman, their faces covered with gauze scarves.

Seeing them, the two men turned around and went back, quickly disappearing.

After entering the village, the yamen officer found the village chief, went up to say a few words, and then came back.

"No one lives in the house over there. Although it is a bit dilapidated, you can make do with it for now. How you live your life in the future depends on your ability."

Ye Hongchang felt a little uneasy when he saw the fierce look on the village chief's face.

"May I ask, sir? The chief registrar said that one person has two acres of land. When can I get the title deed?"

The yamen servant smiled and said, "Land, of course, must be reclaimed. Xiema Village is full of wasteland. You just need to open up wasteland yourself. The yamen will handle the land deeds as much as you can carve out."

The imperial court encouraged the reclamation of wasteland, but the people in Xiema Village did not dare to control the county. If these people came, if they could successfully settle down here, it would be their ability.

When the wasteland is reclaimed, the land deed will definitely be issued and reported to the superiors. That is the political achievement of the county magistrate. Naturally, the more the better.

Not to mention two acres of land, they can even carve out ten acres of land by one person, and they can get the land deed, it just depends on their ability.

At this point, several people came galloping on horseback from a distance. The two government officials were startled and hurried back.

"The place has been brought. What happens next is all your own business. The household registration documents are also in your hands. You can tell the village chief yourself."

After saying that, they ran away as if running for their lives.

By the time those people arrived on horseback, the two government officials had already run out of the village.

Before Ye Hongchang and others could look back, they were already surrounded by four horses. Several of them were strong, with cloth-covered heads and dark skin. They were looking at them eagerly.

"Where did you come from? How dare you come here to make trouble."

Everyone behind him was already frightened. Ye Hongchang stepped forward and said, "We are refugees from Xiliang who came here to escape famine. We applied for household registration documents at the Yamen. From now on, we will be villagers of Xiema Village. Are you from the village?"

Several people laughed when they heard this.

"Third brother, did you hear that Magistrate Dog dared to send people here because he felt that not enough people had died before?"

　Most of the previous chapters have been revised, and the plot has been changed to be more compact. If you have already read this, you may not understand it. Go back and read the previous chapters. Chapters that have been ordered will not be recharged, but the content will be replaced. Chapter 42 has become the content of Chapter 31. You can start reading directly from Chapter 31. I have edited words in the past few days and my hands are useless, but the plot is more exciting. Thank you for your support!
