Chapter 708 710. Arrival at the County

Everyone followed Lai San and Zeng Dawang. After all, they were the only ones who knew the chief constable here, so they would not go wrong if they followed them.

"Captain Chen, we're all here." Lai San said nervously. If anything unexpected happened in the meantime, he would be the sinner of his brothers.

"It's good that you're here. Line up and register with me. I'll take you to have a look and I've already chosen the hill for you.

I specifically asked a local farmer, and he said that this is the most fertile land, so I saved it for you."

He can't let these people back down. The magistrate has already specifically instructed that as long as he handles this matter well, he will be rewarded.

Seeing the captain of police, whom they had tried to avoid before, greeting them with a smile, everyone felt relieved.

This is a big gamble for them. If they win, they can return to normal life. If they lose, they may have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.

Now it seems that everything is moving in the right direction.

Zeng Dawang was worried about his younger brother who was still in the clinic. He said hello to Captain Chen and hurried into the city.

When he came out again, he had a smile on his face.

Upon asking, he found out that Zeng Xiaowang had woken up last night and was able to sit up and take medicine by himself today. The heavy stone weighing on his heart finally fell.

After everyone completed the registration, Captain Chen asked the yamen runner next to him to take his place and led them out of the city.

"I will now take you to see that piece of mountain. It has been specially divided up for you. There are so many of you. If you take good care of it, you can completely take over the mountain.

I have already had the farm tools sent over there, but I guess you'll have to take care of the house by yourselves. The county government really can't spare that many people right now.

As for the resettlement allowance I promised this brother yesterday, I will go to the clerk to collect it when I return to the yamen. If you are worried, you can come with me. I will definitely not let you down."

Wu Xiaoliu smiled and said, "We naturally believe in you, Captain. We are just a little worried. Will the villagers be willing to accept us?"

This really hit the nail on the head. Captain Chen looked at the bandit leader in front of him and found that he didn't look stupid as he did when they first met. Instead, he looked quite smart.

“I have taken all of this into consideration for you. The terrain and environment of that mountain are good, but it’s a bit far from other villages.

If you have friends you know, you can call them over, and when there are more people, a new village will naturally be formed."

After Captain Chen finished speaking, he silently gave himself a thumbs up in his heart. This really was killing two birds with one stone. If he could recruit more manpower, the magistrate would also have an easier time reporting to his higher-ups.

"Really?" This was a pleasant surprise. To be honest, they had stayed in the mountains for such a long time that they were a little afraid to deal with the villagers. After all, not most people could understand them, and some were even a little afraid when they heard their names.

Wu Xiaoliu was already thinking in his heart, which of the mountain bosses he was on good terms with could he call over to join him?

"Of course this is true. Go and find out when did I, Chen Laosi, break my promise?" Captain Chen said, patting his chest.

"Thank you so much," Wu Xiaoliu said with a smile, "There will be many things to do in the future, and I guess I'll have to trouble you."

"That's easy," Captain Chen led them along a mountain path on the side of the road. Looking at the rugged and narrow mountain path, everyone frowned.

Wouldn't this bring them back into the mountains? They just got out with great difficulty, now they are going to live back there under a different name?

Especially when they were walking further and further away, Lai San couldn't help but ask, "Captain Chen, where are we going? Why do we look like we're going into the mountains?"

Captain Chen took the opportunity to stop and rest. He was indeed a little tired from leading the way. "It's not far ahead. The road is not very good. When you move in, you can spend a day to repair it.

I tell you this location is really good, close to the county town, if it is properly renovated, it may become a wealthy village in the future.”

"Is there no village nearby?"

"Yes! He wants to take a shortcut. Once we get there, we can cross a mountain and find another village. But if he wants to go into the city, he has to take another road, which is even farther." Captain Chen naturally had to calm him down.

“Even the farm tools I prepared for you earlier, I asked the village chief of your neighboring village to take them back first. I guess he has already brought people to deliver them to the destination by now.

By the way, I haven’t asked you yet, you all know how to farm, right? "

Wu Xiaoliu said in a low voice, "We all know how to farm."

His ancestors all lived nearby, but the family used to rent farmland. After his parents passed away, he wandered around by himself and finally became a bandit.

The other brothers also got together for one reason or another.

Captain Chen, "It would be good if you know how to farm. I'm afraid you don't know how to farm, so we'll have to trouble people from the next village to come over and help you for a few days.

But I will greet them, and you can go and ask if you don’t understand.

I dare not say anything else, but they will still give you this little face.

I will cultivate the land, get my household registration, build a few small houses, and then I can live a decent life."

When everyone heard what Captain Chen said, they all responded quickly.

Looking at the barren valley before them, Lai San and the others could not describe the feeling in their hearts, except for a vague feeling of regret.

Not only is that place remote, but there is nothing there, so they have to build their home bit by bit.

Under such conditions, everyone wanted to back out.

Captain Chen saw through their thoughts at a glance and would never give them such an opportunity. He immediately stood there and kept giving instructions.

"This piece of land is flat and has so much open space around it that it can be built into a large village. Then everyone can have a house, plant some vegetables in front of and behind the house, marry a wife and have a few children. Wouldn't that be a wonderful life?

Look at the mountain in front of you. Don't underestimate it. There is a natural reservoir on it. When you reclaim land along this mountain, you will no longer have to worry about water for irrigation.

Look at the mountains not far ahead. Although they are not as good as this mountain, it is also a good choice if you have companions with you.

..."

If Jin Qianqian were here, she would think that Captain Chen would definitely be an excellent salesperson if he were placed in the future. He could make a flower bloom out of a few barren mountains.

Moreover, he was really good at speaking. After he made such a big promise, he brought smiles to the faces of everyone present.

It seemed as if the beautiful days in the future were right before their eyes, and everyone was excited.

"There are also several mountain springs here, so there is no need to worry about water. This is a good place that we have carefully selected. If you don't like it, we can go and take a look later."
