Chapter 901 A versatile immigrant

Tian Qiao called all the ten families, gave them a few more instructions, and then left. Only ten families remained, with a total of thirty people gathered here, staring at each other. From now on, they would be neighbors for the rest of their lives.

Hu Shan, whose name was just called, stood up first. He bowed to everyone and introduced himself, "I am Hu Shan. I have a wife and a son at home. I don't have much ability, but I can do farm work. I'll trouble all neighbors to take care of me in the future."

"My name is Lu Jianan, I'm from Weishan County, I have a wife, a pair of children, and I can do some carpentry work. If you need anything in the future, just come and find me." Another person followed and introduced his family.

"Hello, uncles and aunts, my name is Yuanhua, I'm fifteen years old today, and this is my wife Qingxia. We just got married, just the two of us, and we came here to teach." A young man in a sky-blue robe also walked out holding his newlywed wife's hand and introduced.

"It's good to be able to teach. If you can read and write, you can work as an official in the government in the future. You are more capable than us." Another householder in his twenties or thirties stood up. He first praised and then introduced himself.

"My name is Wen Shou. I am a husband and wife with a son and a daughter. I can press oil, grind flour and cut lacquer. My wife can reel silk and weave brocade. Ordinary cotton and linen are also no problem. If you need me

, just let me know." "Ren Zong, a husband and wife, have two sons. These are my sons Ren Zuo and Ren You. I am a blacksmith. My wife is a shepherd girl. She is good at raising livestock and riding horses. If you need me in the future, my family will definitely help me."

After hearing this person's introduction, everyone couldn't help but look at him sideways. This person called Ren Zong is indeed different. He has a strong body, strong arms, sharp eyes, and a seemingly good sword hanging on his waist. Combined with his identity as a blacksmith, I think this sword should be made by himself.

However, such a person should be doing well in the eight counties of Hanyang. Why did he immigrate here?

This is a bit wrong!

Of course it's wrong, because Ren Zong was originally a member of the Jinwu Guard. This time he was specially arranged to come here. On the one hand, he was to monitor the situation of the people on Qiongzhou Island, and on the other hand, he could also monitor the ruling methods of local officials. If the county magistrate here deceived his superiors and subordinates and plundered the village, Luo Chong would not know nothing.

Another point is that Ren Zong's identity as a Jinwu Guard was not even known to his family. His wife and children only knew that Ren Zong decided to immigrate, but they didn't know the reason. However, as the head of the family, Ren Zong did not explain too much.

"I am Xie Li, a wife and a son. My family can do nothing but eat. According to our leader, we are here to promote food. Oh, by the way, my family can also grind tofu and make soy milk. Please take care of my business in the future." A slightly fat middle-aged man also stood up and said.

"Grinding tofu is good. I love it. I like sweet tofu pudding the most." Another man in his twenties came out and said. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he introduced it.

"My name is Shi Bo. I have a wife and two sons. I used to be a rickshaw driver in Sitong County. I know a little bit about everything, but I can do nothing at all. Hehe, I wonder if there is any rickshaw for me to drive here. I'll thank all my neighbors for taking care of me in the future." The man named Shi Bo said with a giggle. He did not have the awareness of a man in his twenties or thirties at all, but rather like a young man.

"I'm Danpeng from Fumaguan. We just got married. There are only two of us. My father is a potter. I also learned some skills from him. I will make some pots and pans for everyone in the future." A young man who seemed a little honest also introduced himself.

"Ao Qi, I'm the only child. I'm a leatherworker. I can tan leather and make shoes. My wife is a tailor. She can make clothes. If you need anything, just let me know." The last middle-aged man also stood up and clasped his fists to everyone.

Everyone returned the greetings. Now they understood the power of their small group. There were people who did everything. There were carpenters, blacksmiths, potters, cooks, tailors, and teachers. The least capable ones could raise livestock, farm, drive carts, and even press oil and grind flour. Apart from anything else, even if there were only a few of them, they should have a good life in the future, right? ! There were

ten families in total. The largest family had four people, and the smallest had two people. There were a total of thirty-four people, with an average of more than three people per family. It seemed that having only one child was a minority after all.

Everyone chatted and told each other about their origins. Some even took out photo albums to show other relatives in their families or the glory of their families in the past. The relationship between them quickly became closer.

When everyone was familiar with each other, they began to discuss their views on Qiongzhou Island and how they should live in the future. If they encountered oppression and squeeze from the locals, they must stick together.

After a while, Tianqiao, who was responsible for settling them, came back. He went to get food for everyone, and also talked to the governor's mansion about the various livestock and supplies that would be transported to Shanghe Village, and then came back with a list.

Following him were two people who were responsible for delivering meals. One carried a bucket of porridge and pancakes, and the other carried vegetables and meat. The meat here is still mainly sea fish.

Seeing Tian Qiao and the person who delivered the food coming back, the two children of Ren Zong's family, Ren Zuo and Ren You, immediately stood up and spread straw mats on the ground. Then they helped the two people who delivered the food to unload the food, and asked their father to share the food with everyone. No one was disgusted. The food was the best even in the eight counties of Hanyang, but the dining environment was a bit simple. Everyone sat on the ground in a circle, and regarded Tian Qiao as the leader, ready to listen to his introduction to the local situation.

"I just went to report to you. I will also come to share the livestock that your village wants to share. The rewards promised by the leader before are all now fulfilled. In terms of livestock, each family will have a donkey, two piglets, two sheep, a cage of rabbits, five pairs of chickens and ducks, and a pair of cats and dogs.

The resettlement fee is 100 yuan per family, which should have been given to you. In addition, each family will also have a flying shuttle loom and a pedal spinning machine.

Now let me ask you first, do you plan to take the things on the list, or do you want to exchange them? For example, if any of you don't want a donkey and think it is useless, I can give it to you. Replace the donkey with a pig. If you don't want a pig, I can also replace it with a sheep. We are still here and can talk about it. Once we get on the boat tomorrow, you won't be able to change it. You should think about it quickly. Anyway, you won't suffer any loss. Even if you do suffer a loss, you can get it in exchange for money. "

Hearing the question raised by Tian Qiao, everyone started to think and discuss. They already knew the skills that each family was good at. Some people really don't need so many livestock at home, and they don't have time to raise them. So if they can replace them now, it will definitely be more convenient in the future.
