Don't panic, the family boss is busy farming

Chapter 50 Settled in the county seat
A group of people waited for about a quarter of an hour at the gate of the government office, and Xu Da came back with a smile on his face, and gave Wang a new OK gesture.

From the looks of it, things seemed to be going well.

The two families waited for another quarter of an hour, and Liu Rong walked out of the mansion, with a much gentler expression on his face than when he first met, and waved to the two families:
"My lord is free, come in."

As he spoke, he led the way and said: "Because you are the first batch of refugees to arrive in Jizhou, Mr. Hu Cao is considerate and wants to meet you. Remember to salute when you enter the lobby. You can answer whatever you ask, don't forget. Sorry."

This sudden interview really caught the two families by surprise.

But Xu Yue's family is okay, they don't have any particular resistance to meeting officials, they are more curious about what the officials here look like.

The biggest official Wang Dayou has ever seen is a small official who is in charge of counting in the village every year. He is an official who specializes in population, farming, and taxation.

It's just that in addition to the population census, Daqing also conducted an economic census at the same time.

However, the court has been in turmoil in the past two years, and the officials below only come to check the information of previous years every other year, and update the data of the latest year at the same time. Forgery is common.

In order to prevent his family from being cheated to death by these petty officials, Wang Dayou also gave these petty officials finely forged knives, which ensured that the village's tax revenue would not be increased.

But compared with Mr. Cao, who specializes in managing household registration in a county, the little official may not even be able to compare with Liu Chaye, who leads the way in front of him.

As soon as he thought that his family was going to meet such a big man, Wang Dayou felt uneasy, fearing that if he said a wrong word or did a wrong thing, he would be ruined.

But obviously, he thought too much.

They didn't see Mr. Hu Cao himself at all, but met a figure who was equivalent to his deputy and entourage.

This man was dressed as a scribe, neatly dressed, with a feather crown on his head. He couldn't tell what his official position was, but Liu Rong respected him very much.

After the two families bowed their hands and saluted, the scribe took out a roll of cloth and a pen, dipped it in ink and began to ask them various questions.

For example, where did you come from, what is your name, who is in your family, what did your ancestors do, where did you go on the road, what scenery did you see, who did you meet, everything is in detail, all you have to do is ask Xu Da directly what is your day today? What color are you wearing underpants?

After everyone finished answering one by one, the cloth in his hand was also full of copying.

These contents, seemingly messy, are the latest reports to understand the specific situation of the disaster in Yanzhou.

After he reports to Mr. Hu Cao, and Mr. Hu Cao reports to the county guard, he can make a big fuss about this matter, so that the people of the world know that Jizhou is really helping refugees, not just shouting passwords.

Let the people of insight all over the world commend him, and let the suffering people all over the world yearn for Jizhou.

In short, this is an excellent publicity opportunity.

The scribe blew on the cloth, put the report away, turned around, smiled at Xu and Wang,
"Okay, go and apply for household registration. From now on, you will be Jizhou people. With our Yuan family's ever-victorious army, the people will no longer be harassed by refugees. Farm well and be a good citizen."

The two families nodded and watched the scribe leave.

Liu Rong bowed again in the direction where the scribe left, and then got up and rushed to Xu Dao: "It's enough for a family to come, and the others are waiting outside."

"Hey." Xu Da and Wang Dayou responded, and followed Liu Rong to a small room for household registration.

The household registration book has been written on the documents inside, Xu Da and Wang Dayou stepped forward to check the information, and after confirming that it is correct, just sign and draw a deposit.

Wang Dayou stepped forward to press his handprint, Xu Da picked up the pen placed far away, dipped it in black ink and wrote his name on the yellowed paper, Xu Qingyang!

The traditional Chinese characters I just learned with my daughter are not very good-looking, but they are also neat and tidy. You can see that there are hooks between the strokes, as if you have a good foundation.

After the words were finished and the pen fell, the clerk and Liu Rong both looked at Xu Da in surprise.

Can write, obviously has read books, is a child of an aristocratic family?
But looking at his clothes, he looked poorer, more like a poor family.

All of a sudden, Xu Da felt that the eyes of the people around him had changed, and they became more respectful.

Liu Rong took a deep breath, and the little bit of "look down on you, you are not worthy" in his eyes was gone. He treated Xu Da with the same status, and handed him the yellow book of household registration with both hands.

Xu thanked him with a big smile, and went out with his warm household registration to meet his wife and children.

"How is it? Where are we assigned?" Mrs. Wang asked softly.

Xu Da raised his eyebrows proudly, drew a circle in front of him with his finger, and nodded, "That's it."

That's it?

Just in the county seat?

The mother and son couldn't believe it. They all looked at Xu Da, and couldn't help laughing when they saw him nodding. They were really happy.

"Father, what about us?" Seeing the happy appearance of the Xu family, the Wang family aunt rushed to Wang Dayou and raised her head to ask him eagerly.

Wang Dayou didn't know it yet, he was illiterate, and he didn't know what was written in the yellow book. He just heard the clerk read his family's name, and he heard everything right, so he pressed his fingerprints.

When asked by his daughter at this moment, he remembered this, and hurriedly brought the yellow book over to ask Xu Da to look at it for him.

He knew that Xu Da spent a lot of money on activities to stay in the county, and he didn't expect his family to stay in the city. He just felt that no matter what village he was in, he was very happy.

It's just that when Liu Rong collected the money, he thought that the two families belonged together, so they both gave convenience.

Xu Da clicked on the words on the yellow book, and read: "Wang Dayou, a person from Hejian County."

For a moment, Wang Dayou thought that Hejian County might be the name of a village, but he soon woke up from the ecstatic expressions of his wife and daughter.

He looked at Xu Da in surprise and emotion, he really didn't expect that he would help his family too.

"Brother Xu, my younger brother will never be able to repay your kindness in this life!" Wang Dayou was so excited that his eyes were red, and he was a handsome six-foot man, crying on the spot.

Xu Da raised his eyebrows, he didn't do it, it's probably because Liu Rong misunderstood.

But since it was a beautiful misunderstanding, let him continue to misunderstand.

Xu Da returned the yellow book of the Wang family to Wang Dayou, told him to put it away carefully, and whispered: "There are still unpaid bills."

As soon as he started talking, Wang Dayou responded repeatedly: "I know, I know, I will give the money to brother Xu later."

Xu Da nodded solemnly, "Brother will settle accounts, I treat you, Brother Wang, as my own brother, I think you can also understand what it means to be a brother."

Wang Dayou was very moved: "I understand clearly."

Looking at Xu Da's gaze, there was sincerity.
