Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 235 Chapter 235

The next day, in the government office, all the stewards, big and small, gathered together.

"I asked everyone to come today because of the move of the Qu Clan to Huangsha City. Everyone will share their opinions."

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.Most of the people in the mansion looked at her face, and the people in Wuzhen would not take the initiative to oppose her. When no one spoke, she let Xiao Qi speak first.

Xiao Qi repeated what he said in front of her yesterday.

"The 3000 people of the Qu family want to move to Huangsha City to live, and they are willing to exchange camels and jade for a place to live."

Having said that, many people understood what was going on, but they were still not sure about Mu Yu's attitude, and looked at her frequently to see what it was.

This is doomed to fail, neither can he get instructions, nor can he keep silent, so someone speaks after deliberation.

"This is a good thing."

"There are a lot of vacant houses and open spaces in the city..."

"Yes, we are short of people."

There are more people who value profit. After all, vacant houses and land have nothing to do with them, but if the Qu people bring camels and jade, they will probably benefit from it. This is human nature.

There are also people who value population. They have a long-term perspective and know that a large population will bring more benefits, and it will also be safer and more capable of self-protection.

Huangsha City was originally tens of thousands of people, but now it is only two thousand. Even if someone finds it later, it will be impossible to make up half of the original. Recruiting is the only way.

It's just that now, the victims don't have what they want.

Since the Qu clan wants to move here, then they should. With so many people, it is difficult to find them elsewhere.

At this time, Wu Zhen said, "There are so many people, I'm afraid there will be a lot of trouble in managing them."

As soon as he spoke, people who had the same idea and supported him also echoed.

"That's right, the more than 1000 victims of the disaster before were useless, but this time there are [-] victims, and trouble is inevitable..."

"Besides, three thousand is more than the people in our city now. If the Qu Clan has any other ideas, we're afraid we won't be able to control it..."

Everyone sitting here nodded thoughtfully, and this kind of situation does exist.

Xiao Qi quickly stated that he only wanted to let his clansmen live a good life, he didn't want to travel around for water and food, and he didn't want to lose dozens of clansmen every year. He had absolutely no other intentions.

Despite his sincerity and his oaths, those present did not change their minds.

Seeing that things were not going well, he began to increase his hole cards, promising to wait for the clansmen to come, and give the city [-] camels and three jade mines.

This is a very large number.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

An ordinary horse costs dozens of taels of silver, and a slightly better-looking one costs hundreds of taels. These three hundred camels are worth no less than 3 taels of silver!

The value of a jade mine is unknown to everyone, but they know that it must be a lot of money.

In this way, those who value interests will speak again.

"Oh, there is a problem that can be solved. The trouble is a little troublesome. We just need to be more careful and take care of it."

"Yeah, it's pitiful for them to live in the desert. Anyway, there are vacant places in the city now, so it's okay for them to come and live."

"Then what if something goes wrong? Are you responsible?"

"Hey, how did you talk?"

Seeing that everyone was about to quarrel, Mu Yu stopped them.

"This matter has advantages and disadvantages, but it is not black and white. We should find a way to solve the problem instead of arguing and attacking each other here."

Ji Xiucai, who is now Ji Junshi, added in time, "The Qu clan's coming to Huangsha City is good for both the Qu clan and Huangsha City. Of course they want to come, but how to come can still be discussed."

His words awakened many people, and suddenly there was buzzing chatter in the crowd, and soon someone suggested that people from the Qu tribe could come in batches, which would save a lot of trouble, and also to a certain extent reduce the threat.

This method was approved by the majority of people and Mu Yu nodded, so the result was quickly agreed upon.

Years ago, only a group of Qu people came, and the number must be kept below 1000.

If there are no accidents, then the second batch of Qu people who will come to Chungeng next year will still be kept below 1000.

The third batch will be harvested and planted in July next year.

The time for the fourth batch is before the grain harvest in November of the next year, if there is still this fourth batch.

In this way, no one who participated in the meeting had any objections.

Mu Yu looked at Xiao Qi and asked him, "What do Patriarch Xiao think? I don't think all of your clansmen are willing to leave their homeland all at once. It should be appropriate to come in groups like this."

Xiao Qi nodded, "This method is very good. Xiao Qi thanked the city lord and everyone here, and the promised camels and jade will arrive at Huangsha City with the clan."

This sentence can be regarded as a summary, and the matter is settled like this.

After the meeting, Xiao Qi immediately wrote a letter back, explaining the situation in Huangsha City truthfully, and asked his confidants to bring 1000 people and some camel jade to settle in Huangsha City, and the rest stayed to wait for news.

On Mu Yu's side, he ordered Ji Xiucai to prepare for the arrival of the 1000 people. It would take more than a month to go back and forth, so he was not in a hurry.

The people from the Qu clan came a few days earlier than she thought, and arrived in Huangsha City before the autumn harvest.

Ji Xiucai and Xiao Qi came to the government office together and told her the news that the Babaiqu people were already waiting outside the city for her order to enter the city.

After she gave the order, the Qu tribe quickly entered the city, and under the guidance of the officials, they were quickly resettled.

According to the results of subsequent discussions between Xiao Qi and Ji Xiucai, each family of the Qu family can be allocated a house, and each family of the Qu family can be allocated two acres of low-grade land. These houses are relatively close to each other, which is convenient for them to communicate with each other.

In addition, before the first harvest of grain for the Qu people, Huangsha City will provide them with relief grain.

This can be regarded as the sincerity of Huangsha City, and they will all be their own people in the future.

That night, the government office held a meeting again, and this time, apart from the people from last time, there were also twenty members of the Qu clan.

This time, the main purpose is to summarize the progress of the day, explain the difficulties encountered, and welcome the arrival of the Qu people by the way, so that they can deepen their understanding of Huangsha City.

Perhaps because of Ji Xiucai's hard work, he didn't pick out any big problems, and everything went smoothly.

Mu Yu praised everyone for doing a good job, and then asked the Qu people who attended the meeting if they had any problems or troubles.

The Qu people looked at each other, and finally they all looked at their patriarch Xiao Qi.

"If you have any questions, you can talk directly, and you will be your own people in the future."

Mu Yu said that, seeing Xiao Qi also nodded, the elder among the Qu clan stood up.
