"Do you two gentlemen have time now? Why don't you come to my house and have a seat? I will treat you and express my gratitude." Minister Zhou invited sincerely.

"Master Zhou, we still have to go to the government office to handle our household registration. There are hundreds of people behind us waiting to be settled. Why don't we wait until we are settled before going to bother you?"

Su Yunhai pointed at the villagers of Taohua Village who were hiding far away and dared not approach the official, and declined with a smile.

Now is not the time to visit.

"In that case, why don't I go with you two? Finish your business early and then come to my house as your guest." Minister Zhou had made up his mind to invite the two of them to be his guests.

Seeing this, Su Yunhai no longer refused and nodded in agreement.

"Madam, please go back home and prepare the family dinner. We will be back later." Lord Zhou showed a happy expression and immediately instructed Madam Zhou.

Mrs. Zhou was also very happy and left first with her maid.

Jingzhao Prefecture.

Gu Changfeng's elder brother, Gu Changyao, the eldest son of the former prime minister, was already waiting at the gate of the yamen.

...

...

"Brother, why are you here?" Gu Changfeng was delighted when he saw this and took a quick step forward to ask.

"Your uncle is worried that you are unfamiliar with the place, so he asked me to take care of you."

After saying that, Gu Changyao looked at the two people behind his cousin. Seeing that Minister Zhou was also behind them, he was slightly shocked and immediately stepped forward to greet them.

"Meet Mr. Zhou."

"Well, you're welcome. It turns out that Minister Gu and this little brother Gu are brothers."

"Yes, we are cousins." Minister Gu responded with a smile.

Although Lord Zhou had already learned of Gu Changfeng's identity from his wife, he still pretended to be ignorant and pretended to be surprised.

If he didn't know the identity of the Gu family, he wouldn't have come to visit them in person and wanted to make friends with them.

After the four of them exchanged a few pleasantries, they walked into the Jingzhao Prefecture government office together.

The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture did not expect that the yamen would welcome two distinguished guests early in the morning, and he immediately ran out to greet them in fear.

"Greetings, my Lords. What advice do you have for me?"

The official rank of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin was lower than that of Shangshu Zhou and Shilang Gu. He was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He saluted tremblingly and tried to find out the answer.

Minister Zhou was the highest-ranking official among the three. He spoke first. "Don't be nervous, Lord Wang. I came here to ask you to help with some household registration."

Lord Wang felt slightly relieved when he heard this.

As long as he is not asked to judge a case for these two adults, neither of whom he can afford to offend.

Seeing this, Su Yunhai immediately waved to the villagers who were still standing outside the yamen and dared not come in.

Let them come in quickly to complete the formalities.

Lord Wang didn't expect to have to deal with so many household registrations at once.

Not everyone can settle down in the capital.

Minister Zhou saw that Lord Wang was in a dilemma, and he also knew that it was not easy to get a household registration in the capital.

He smiled and looked at Su Yunhai, and asked, "Brother Su, where do you plan to settle down? If dozens of families all settle down in the capital, it will be a bit difficult."

Su Yunhai naturally knew this.

Anyway, the Su family will not settle in the capital.

The barbarians are about to attack, and the capital is not a peaceful place.

But he had already brought the villagers to the capital and would not take them further with him.

Besides, there are basically no refugees on the road ahead, so there is no need for the Su family to bring so many people to intimidate others.

Although many villagers sold themselves to the Su family, Su Yunhai did not really want to buy them. He was just looking for an excuse to take them away.

As for the money they owed the Su family, Su Yunhai also knew that he could not get it back for the time being.

"Master Zhou, Master Wang, I'm wondering if there is a village that can accommodate the villagers of Taohua Village? Even if it's a little remote, it doesn't matter."

"If not, I wonder if we can allocate another piece of land for the people of Taohua Village to settle down? It would be best if it is located in the south of the capital." Su Yunhai put forward his request.

Now that there are two high-ranking officials present to support him, he must of course seize the opportunity to gain some benefits for the villagers.

Lord Wang was relieved to see that they had no plans to settle in the capital city.

But it is not easy to settle down in other villages in the capital.

The difficulty lies in settling so many people in one place.

Lord Wang couldn't think of a good place to go for a while, so he quickly ordered his chief clerk to look up the situation of the surrounding villages and towns.

Finally, a village that met the requirements was found two hundred miles south of the capital.

There was a big fire in that village more than ten years ago, which burned down most of the village and left a lot of land empty, enough to accommodate hundreds of people.

There are also many good fields over there, and there is also a small river.

The environment is already very good.

Lord Wang was worried that the fat man in front of him would not be satisfied and think it was too far, so he carefully described the situation of the village in detail.

When Su Yunhai heard this, he felt that there was no problem at all.

The village is more than 200 miles away from the capital, which is neither far nor near for the people.

The closer it is to the capital, the higher the prices are, and the villagers of Taohua Village simply cannot afford it.

What's more, they have to find ways to build houses and buy land, so it would be better for them to live farther away from the capital.

Furthermore.

anyway.

After all, that village belongs to the capital, and the villagers of Taohua Village will be real people of the capital in the future.

What else are they not satisfied with?

Su Yunhai relayed Lord Wang's words to the village heads and explained the pros and cons of the village to them in detail.

None of the household owners were dissatisfied after hearing this.

I immediately agreed to settle there.

Lord Wang felt much better instantly when he saw these outsiders were so considerate.

Immediately ask your subordinates to take their household registration to exchange for the new one.

My subordinates are already working very quickly.

But it took a whole morning to finish it.

After all, in addition to the villagers of Taohua Village, there are more than 80 households in Shan'ao Village, which adds up to more than 200 households.

It is also necessary to carefully inquire, investigate and fill in various information with the parties involved without any mistakes, which is a very time-consuming task.

Noon.

All the formalities were finally completed.

Su Yunhai asked the villagers to take their household registration back by themselves, and he, Gu Changfeng and Gu Changyao went to Zhou's house for a banquet.

It is expected that the villagers will choose to settle in the capital.

They no longer wanted to flee famine.

The various crises they encountered along the way were enough for them to remember for a lifetime.

If they could settle down, no one would want to continue to wander around.

Moreover, the prosperity of the capital city left a deep impression on the villagers, and this place is also under the feet of the emperor.

They felt that this place was already safe enough and there was no need to continue taking risks and fleeing aimlessly.

Even if he didn't want to stay, Su Yunhai made it clear that he would not continue to travel with them.

As for the Shen family, needless to say, they will definitely follow the Su family.

The next morning.

Lord Wang sent the chief clerk to take the villagers who wanted to settle down and send them to Shangxi Village, 200 miles away.

Su Yunhai was a good man who sold the team's extra carts and some older cows, donkeys and mules for silver, and distributed twenty taels of silver to each household so that they could settle down.

In addition to all the debts that the villagers owed the Su family in the past, they were all converted into silver and asked to write IOUs.

The chief clerk had been specifically instructed by the prefect of Jingzhao to take good care of these people.

But the main thing is to take care of this fat guy who is noticed by the big shots.

The chief clerk never expected that the fat man was actually the creditor of these people.

He knew that the Su family would not stay in the capital for long, and immediately came up with a brilliant solution.
