A farmer's fierce wife

Chapter 869 All the Way North (3)

These cities that were damaged after the war seem to have returned to life on the surface, but there are still many resident insects hidden inside.

Brother Ye, Lu Jianxi and the people waited outside for a long time before the squire came out slowly.

Because they were looking forward to becoming ordinary people, Ye Ge and Lu Jianxi didn't directly go up to reprimand them. They wanted to see how Xiangkun treated these returning refugees.

The squire placed a set of chairs and a table at the door, then placed a pamphlet on top of it, and lazily called to the people below:

"You all line up and register one by one!"

Brother Ye and Lu Jianxi were at the back, and those in front had already started to register.

"Master Township Chief, the younger one came back from Nanqian the day before yesterday. The family used to have a five-cent wheat field and a few sweet potato fields... but now they don't plant them," said one of the middle-aged men.

"Where do you live? Is the house still there?" asked the squire lazily.

"The house is still there, but all the things have been emptied, there is not even a hoe left, and the stick that was used to smash pig food has been taken away, and the windows have not been removed. people……"

The squire interrupted the complainant: "Then how long have you been away from Tiandu City?"

"It's been more than two years, no, I came back as soon as I heard that the barbarians here have left."

"Didn't you do any business or save money outside?" Xiang Kun asked.

"Where is it? It's all spent on accommodation on the road. Didn't you hear that there is a subsidy? So..." The middle-aged man said embarrassedly: "So I came here to get some subsidized silver."

The squire was unhappy when he heard that the middle-aged man had no silver deposits: "Where is there so much silver taels? The silver taels are all used for food. If you don't have any silver deposits, go back and wait. There are also people who come to deliver food, you just go and get it."

The middle-aged man didn't dare to say so much, so he had to walk away in embarrassment.

Later, I asked a few more people, and the method of questioning was exactly the same, that is, those who had money and deposits registered first, and those who did not have to go back and wait for news.When it came to Brother Ye and Lu Jianxi, the squire couldn't help but see a bright light.

Although these two people are dressed in ordinary clothes, they look extraordinary, and there must be a lot of money to be made.

"Where did you come back from?"

"From Fu County," Ye Ge said.

"What are you doing there?"

"Business, business is doing pretty well."

"Do you have any savings?"

"There are still a few hundred taels," Ye Ge said.

"Then please wait later, I will look for you later," the squire asked a young man to lead the two of them to the hall for a drink of water.

After waiting for another half an hour, the squire finally finished his work, so he came to greet Brother Ye and Lu Jianxi. When he saw the two, the squire was very enthusiastic: "It turns out that the two of you are doing big business in the south, not bad. If you are willing to come back, it shows that you love your hometown very much..."

After chatting for a long time, the squire finally talked about the matter of dividing the fields: "These fields must be redistributed now. Many people died in this war, and many people will never come back, so they need to register with their real names. Let me be in charge of this matter. I can't be casual. There is land, but it can't be divided casually, and it can't be planted by just one person. Since the two are big merchants, they must hire Let’s get some more people, this land can be divided among you, but…”
