Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 561

Chu Lang took the rice back to the kitchen, poured it into the pot again, pulled out the hot ash from the stove and some remaining charcoal blocks, and then put the pot on it so that the rice would stay hot and not immediately Get cold.

  After finishing all this, he took the pot of vegetables and went out.

  Out of the alley, walk along the street to the most prosperous section, where there are often little beggars or old beggars begging there.

During the period of coming to Yizhou City, Lang did not dare to say that he had visited the whole Yizhou City on Thursday, but he was familiar with the shop where they lived and the nearby streets.

At the beginning, when I wander around, I always get lost and I have to ask people on the road for directions, but I always meet people who don’t want to care about you, or deliberately point you to the wrong way, or I know myself. People who don't understand, but have to show you the way.

  Being pitted more often, Chu Lang knew that it was more reliable to ask people who were begging on the side of the road to ask for directions.

  Plus some restaurants on the street, I like to let some clean helpers run errands, take out food and recycle tableware every day.

   said they were helpers, but they were actually beggars.

  The restaurant pays them some food, and they help the restaurant run errands.

  Thursday Lang met several times, and became acquainted with them once he came and went.

  Because today is Qingming Festival, the restaurants at the entrance of the alley are not open, and the beggars don’t know where they are.

  Thursday Lang went down the street to the bustling place, and saw a restaurant that was open, he turned around and entered an alley where the back door of the restaurant was.

  Sure enough, when I walked inside, I saw a group of people in rags looking for something in a wooden barrel from a distance.

  Thursday, Lang squinted his eyes, and finally found someone familiar with him, coughed lightly, and cried, "San'er?"

  An eight or nine-year-old boy turned around and looked over, and when he saw Chu Lang walked up lazily, "Brother Chu, did you find a job for us?"

   "You have all been in touch with the restaurants on the street. What can I do for you? Come, I will bring you a pot of vegetables."

  After listening to San'er, she immediately took her own bowl and rushed up. Seeing the vegetables and meat inside, she was very surprised, "Brother Thursday, are you rich?"

   "No post, isn't this Qingming, please have a good meal, only vegetables, no rice."

  San'er waved his hand, and other little beggars rushed up and said one after another: "It doesn't matter, we have."

  They hide some pancakes and steamed buns. Although they are not complete and have been left for several days, they are still delicious with such dishes and meat.

  Especially this dish is still hot.

  Thursday Lang handed the dishes to San'er and asked him to divide them. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the dishes were hot.

  Thursday Lang took back the empty bowl and saw that they were eating with gusto, he waved his hand and said, "Then I'll go first. You can eat slowly."

  Everyone enthusiastically bid farewell to Chu Lang, "Four brothers go slowly."

   "Four brothers are good to go."

  Thursday Lang walked to the entrance of the alley and saw Man Bao and the others were carrying things and looking at him dumbfounded. He first glanced at the basket in their hands and immediately greeted him happily, "You bought it? So fast!"

  Man Bao nodded, "There are few people going to the restaurant today, so the speed is very fast."

  She glanced at the empty basin in Chu Lang's hand, frowning and asked: "Four brother, you just took vegetables..."

   "Oh, they are friends I know outside, and I will tell you when I go back." On Thursday Lang was a little hungry, so he went to pick up their baskets with great diligence and walked hurriedly: "Walk, go back and eat first."

  Manbao, they only bought vegetables. The rice is at home. Da Ji carried the rice out of the kitchen. Thu Lang explained, “Those vegetables were lost and wasted, so I sent them.”

  Man Bao asked, "Then why don't you deliver meals together?"

   "... Only this little rice is enough for us to eat."

  "Can we cook it again," Bai Shanbao said, "Why not be perfect if we do good deeds?"

  Thursday Lang scratched his head and said: "I didn't want to do good deeds. Isn't that a waste of things? We don't eat vegetables, but we need to eat."

   Bai Erlang said: "You just pick it."

On Thursday Lang was unhappy, "This is not called picking, I just look down on what you are going to do. We don’t have gold and silver mines in our house. How can we cook special meals to give away? You gave it today. Will you give it tomorrow?"

  Daji glanced at them and said, "Hurry up and eat, it's already time for lunch, be careful of hungry stomachs."

  Man Bao asked while serving the meal, "Four brothers, why don’t they go home?"

"Because I have no home," Chu Lang said: "Who has a home to run out? San'er and they have been wandering for more than two years. Most of them came out because of the flood three years ago. Some, There are all kinds of reasons, I'm fine to ask what to do so carefully?"

  Man Bao frowned, "I remember that there are not so many beggars and so many people in Luojiang County. Why doesn't the Tang county magistrate distribute land to the refugees and settle them with land like Yang county magistrates?"

  Bai Shanbao thought for a while and said, "Yizhou is prosperous, maybe he doesn't have so many places, right?"

"What about their original land?" Man Bao said, "Since they had a home before, obviously their parents and even grandparents have land. Even if they are outside, the land will always be there. The yamen will provide some. Seeds, tools, and tax exemption for a few more years will naturally settle down."

  Man Bao said so because this is how Yang Heshu settled the refugees.

   Soon after he took office, he began to arrange some sturdy refugees. After the autumn harvest found that the price of food in Yizhou was high, he began to arrange other refugees.

   Disperse the refugees still stranded in the county and assign them to various villages, or directly find a piece of wasteland to resettle them, and let them form their own village.

  Lend them a little grain, and then give them some seeds and farming tools, so that they can exempt them from taxes in the second year on the grounds of reclaiming wasteland.

  Some of the wasteland that is relatively barren or difficult to open up wasteland, he will also give an order for the conscripts to help open up wasteland.

  In the past two years, not only the refugees stranded in Luojiang County have been arranged, but also the refugees from other counties have heard the news, and most of them have been arranged by Yang Heshu.

  Therefore, the population of Luojiang County has grown very rapidly in the past two years. Except for those born in the county, it is these newly-added refugees.

  Population is one of the performance evaluations of a county magistrate. Apart from anything else, Yang He Shuguang is very good.

  Manbao and Bai Shanbao also knew that because of this, Yang Heshu was also sued by two neighboring counties because of the suspicion of vying for population.

  Yang Heshu and them mentioned that most of these refugees are from Yizhou. Otherwise, if their ancestors are in Luojiang County, he doesn't have to bother so much, just directly support them with some grain and seed farming tools.

  Therefore, there is still a big difference between the resettlement of the displaced persons who have lost their land and the displaced persons who have not lost their land.
