Chapter 336 Conditions
Fang Chun didn't expect to be stopped at the gate of the city. He said politely: "We are refugees from Yichun. We heard that Danyang County takes in refugees, so we came here."

He was very honest, and immediately recruited himself.

He didn't lower his voice, so the nearby people heard it too. Many people gasped, and their eyes changed when they looked at Fang Chun.

Fang Chun suddenly felt that countless sharp swords were shot at him, he frowned and looked at the common people who suddenly looked at him with unkind eyes, thinking, he seems to have nothing to offend, right?
"Look, it's those refugees!"

"Listen to what they said, is he trying to grab our food?"

"Just that few people? They only have about [-] young and middle-aged people?"

"Hey, are you stupid? It is said that there are only a dozen refugees attacking wealthy households. Thirty or so of them are not enough?"

"You are stupid, can those rich households compare with us? They dare to try to rob food in the county? If you can get out of this county, I will call him grandpa!"

The people argued endlessly and did not avoid others. Not only Fang Chun heard it, but the villagers also heard it clearly, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Is this why the people of Danyang County are unfriendly to them?
Fang Chun quickly explained, "We are decent people and have never robbed food."

The sergeant guarding the city gate had a cold face, "Then how did you get here from Yichun? It's more than 400 miles away, how do you eat and drink along the way?"

The sergeant is composed of Buqu and Xiangyong. It is Buqu who asked the question. They know where Yichun is. For such a long distance, food is a big deal.

Fang Chun took out a household registration from his pocket and handed it to the sergeant, "This is my household registration. When we came out of Yichun, we brought our rations with us. This is our ration bag."

He raised the bag in his hand again, and after seeing that the sergeant had verified his household registration, he thought for a while and said, "We met a man who claimed to be the magistrate of Danyang County eight days ago on the way to Wuyin. He gave us two stones of food and guided us to Danyang County, by the way, my name is Fang Chun."

After saying the name, Fang Chun looked at the sergeant with a cold face all the time, and felt very depressed. Could it be that the gentleman really lied to him?But they have no food. If Danyang County can't take them in, what should they do?
"It turned out to be you, my lord mentioned it before, let's go, I'll take you into the city, you go to the county government first, and see what your lord can do." After she was pure, she turned around and headed for the city.

Fang Chun was taken aback, and quickly signaled the villagers to follow. The people also heard what the sergeant said, and started whispering again.

"Hey, does your lord know this person?"

"It sounds like it is."

"That should be a good person who will not grab food."

Fang Chun: ".??"

When the sergeant brought Fang Chun to the county government office and explained the situation to the gatekeepers, one of them went in. After a while, Cui Yushu came out with several people.

Cui Yushu looked at Fang Chun and his party, "My lord has mentioned you before, let's go, follow me, and I will take you to the place where you live."

Fang Chun and the villagers did not expect things to go so smoothly, and they were stunned when they saw a thatched hut. It was not because they disliked the shabby huts, but because they thought they would be taken to a wilderness at most. As for the residence, they must have let them build it themselves.

And they saw that there is at least a large area of ​​thatched huts here, which can accommodate at least a thousand people.

"My surname is Cui, and I am a staff member next to the adults. Let me tell you about the resettlement of refugees in our Danyang County."

"First, all refugees who come to Danyang County must check their household registration and register."

"Secondly, the thatched cottages here are not for you to live in. These are built by the people in our county. If you want to live in them, you have to pay the price of two taels of silver. Of course, as long as If you give the money, this house will belong to you forever. The officials of the county government will transfer the ownership with you and give you the house and land deeds. The time limit for you to pay back is two years. If there is no money in two years, you have to Please leave Danyang County."

"Thirdly, our lord has a kind heart. Since the refugees are allowed to enter the city to settle down, naturally we will not care about your life or death. There is food in our county, but the food is not blown by strong winds. The people are diligently farming. Your lord It is a kindness to take you in. Your Excellency is the magistrate of Danyang County, and you must love the people in the county, so there are three ways for you to obtain food.

One is that the county is recruiting township braves to set up camps. In order to prevent refugees from attacking Danyang County, as long as they enter the camps, they will be paid one or two taels of silver every month. You can take this money to the rice shop to buy food. Don’t worry, we are here The grain is [-] copper coins per bucket of rice. "

There are ten buckets per stone, and one tael of silver can buy two and a half stones of grain, which is enough for a family of five for two to three months, and it is the kind that fills the stomach for every meal.And now a bucket of rice already costs a dime outside, and forty copper coins are really cheap, and there is still a monthly payment of one or two, which means that as long as you enter the camp, it only takes three months, and you can not only buy Two stones and five buckets of rice can pay off the two taels of silver for the thatched cottage!

At the moment, many young and middle-aged people are moved.

"The second way is, if you have unique skills and skills among you, you can also go to the art institute under the name of the county government to sign up. It is also one tael of silver per month."

Immediately, someone asked anxiously: "Master Cui, I can do carpentry, can I go to the art workshop?"

The person who asked the question had gray temples and a weathered face. He was already old, and it was impossible for him to sign up for the camp.

Cui Yushu smiled slightly, "Of course it is possible, and I can also tell you that there is more than that in the art studio. As long as you can pass the examination and enter, the lowest is one or two silver per month, but if your unique skill or craft It is especially good, and it will be divided into grades such as A, B, and C. For each grade, the salary will be one or two more, or whoever among you invents useful things will also be rewarded with silver depending on the situation. "

So the elderly man became even more excited, and several other people also showed joyful expressions.

"The third method, have you seen the wasteland behind you? You can reclaim this wasteland. You can borrow grain seeds and food from us first. As long as you cultivate and harvest in the coming year, you can slowly taste it back. It takes three years. Pay back the grain you borrowed."

"Master Cui, after we reclaim these wastelands, does this wasteland belong to us?" A villager asked nervously.

Cui Yushu nodded affirmatively, "Yes, as long as you reclaim wasteland, these lands belong to you, but you can only reclaim the number of acres according to the number of people."
