"It's not easy to resettle refugees. Food rations, housing, land distribution, tax exemption, improved seeds... and the porridge at the gate of the city, where there is no money." Yan Huaiwen said lightly: "We will send officials to the original place to send official documents. Selling and changing registers with others, spending all the way, and seeking convenience, the total cost is a lot of money.
Guanzhou is a feudal city, and half of the tax revenue must go to the King of Fengying, and the remaining half can go to the treasury.
This half is needed to maintain the daily operation of a big mansion, and there is not much left. If there is another natural or man-made disaster, it will be difficult to make ends meet.
In fact, the situation in each big prefecture is similar. The collection of bank transfers has almost become an unwritten regulation. The only difference lies in the amount. "
"Then how much does Guanzhou charge?" Yan Laoer asked curiously.
Yan Huaiwen said: "Guanzhou intends to evacuate the victims and settle in the other five cities outside the prefectural city. The price is high, ten taels per person. It must be rich. It is normal for Gu Feng and Changping to charge a small amount of money. This is a tiger in the city. ..."
He smiled and shook his head: "It seems generous."
Liang Manshan just laughed, that's all for that countryman who was ignorant of Xue Zongqi's words. In their ears, there were many loopholes.
This place is not a place to talk, and Liang Manshan only said to Yan Laoer: "Brother Huai'an, enter the country first and then talk."
Yan's second son shut up immediately, and his mind turned.
That's right, their large army is still blocked outside.
Always let people come in first.
This city gate is two land boundaries.
Only through this gate can they really step on the land of Guanzhou Prefecture.
As for the matter of being registered, Lao Yan and Man Shan have to think about it.
With them, there will be no disadvantages.
…
The city gates are wide open, and the victims of disasters enter.
Xue Zongqi stood on a high place, looking at this group of people with bright eyes.
From time to time, he chatted with Xiao Qi beside him: "Look at those three big guys, hey, they are so tall, they are made of soldiers!
The ones walking in front are all good, they look stronger than those in the back, hehe! All good, all good, all have seen blood, really good, really good! "
Xue Zongqi is like a hungry wolf seeing the meat, and his mouth is about to flow out.
"Boss, how do you know these people have seen blood?" Xiao Qi watched for a long time, but couldn't see what happened.
"I'm not bragging about my eyesight. You can count them among the 18 guards, don't you believe me?" Drilling in the mountains?"
"Didn't you say you met bandits?"
"Fart! They have so many people, so many cars, and they don't have a lot of food. They are not hungry people at first glance. The bandits are only a few birds. When encountering such a team with many men on the road together, they have to weigh whether they can eat. Down.
Leshan Mansion is next to us, but Qishan Mansion is not the same as us. It is said that we are escaping from the drought. Wouldn’t it be closer to go to the south? And the south is also rich, why come to our Guanzhou? "
"Yes! Why can't they think about it?" Xiao Qi couldn't figure it out.
Xue Zongqi glanced at him, and said harshly: "Here, there is something wrong!"
Xiaoqi asked: "What's the matter?"
Xue Zongqi gave him a headbutt, "What do you care? If someone comes to Guanzhou, we will have to do it. It is really a crime. Once our official documents are delivered to the place of origin, they will have to be exposed. When the time comes Good people have become prisoners, even better, send them directly to the quarry, hehe!"
"Boss, what did you tell them? Are they willing to settle in our Huju City?"
"Just tell Mr. Tian about those policies. The land will be exempted from tax for three years. Other cities ask for money. We don't want it. How can you be dissatisfied?"
Xiao Qi hesitated to speak: "Boss, that land is wasteland. Our Guanzhou land reclamation has been exempted from grain tax for three years. You say that, isn't it a lie?"
"Who am I lying to? Is this not the truth? Wasteland is also land, so it's enough to raise it for a few years!" Xue Zongqi stared.
Xiao Qi shrank his neck and whispered: "Even if you don't say it, Mr. Tian will say it."
Xue Zongqi stared at him for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "You're right, I have to make a trip, don't tell that old man Tian to ruin his good deeds!"
…
Enter the border of Guanzhou.
A group of people walked towards Huju City following the guidance of the officers and soldiers of the guard.
Yan’s ox cart still leads, and its speed is more than half slower than the previous days.
Sanbao walks in a smooth and steady manner, and it seems that every step has to measure the distance and keep it consistent.
The big guys don't understand why they walk so slowly, but no one speaks.
Along the way, everyone has great trust in Mr. Xiucai, and they always look at the behavior of the Yan family.
"Brother Huai'an, this is Huju City, Yongning City is here, and Gu Feng should be in this position." Liang Manshan used the stones he picked up on the road to set his position.
Yan’s second child draws on a piece of cloth with charcoal and puts it next to his body.
"God Bless, if you go here, it's best if you can enter the city and town to watch the news. If you can't, there is a tea shop near the city gate, so you can also check it out.
Stay away from the refugees. "
"I remember the eldest brother." Yan's second son said seriously.
"We try to slow down as much as possible. If you don't return, we will try our best to delay outside the city. Don't worry."
"Yeah." Yan Er Er responded.
Qi Da discussed with his two younger brothers and decided to let Qi Si go with him.
Three brothers, Qi Si has more experience in dealing with people.
Qi Si planned to ride a horse mule, but just as he got on it, the mule gave up.
In the end, I had no choice but to use Yan’s ox cart.
Yan's second child drives the car, while Qi Si sits in the back.
Seeing that the space was big enough, Qi Wu sat on it silently.
Qi Da stuffed a few bags next to his two younger brothers.
Inside are herbs that conceal their identities.
Yan Laoer intends to use the pretext of going to the city to sell herbal medicines to inquire about the specific regulations for resettling refugees in Guanzhou. Is it true what Xue Zongqi said.
This President Xue, anyone can see that he wants to keep everyone in Huju City.
…
Slowly walking all the way, finally arrived outside the city of Huju.
The city tower is towering, with the word "huju" written on it, and the city wall has traces of dilapidated repairs. It looks like an old man who has been damaged by wind and frost, and is dying.
Yan Yu frowned.
Outside the city gate, there were many pergolas, but there was no one there.
The yamen servants guarding the gate of the city turned around and ran into the city to deliver letters as soon as they saw them.
Yan Yu's ears were sharp, and she seemed to hear the cry of "people are coming, people are coming".
They were told by General Xue that they could not enter the city and could only live under the arbor for the time being.
They didn't know how to approach them, and settled down one after another.
The big guy lives in the wilderness, there is a thatched shed to shade the sun, the cool breeze is blowing, there is no dissatisfaction, no matter men, women, young or old, they are busy.
Fix the cart, those who are leaning on the cart, those who have a bamboo bed at home are splicing, shake off the torn quilt sheet to spread on the floor, and pull out two handfuls of grass to block the holed straw mat next to it...
When the yamen servants came out, they saw this strange scene.
Be methodical and calm.
From mental outlook to demeanor, they were not at all similar to the disaster victims they had seen before.
