Chapter 2085 Placement
This is also because Lord Shao felt sorry for them for losing their homes, so he gave them preferential treatment. If there are more refugees in Anze Prefecture in the future, they may be resettled in another way.
Therefore, they should carefully consider how to choose and then register as a family unit.
After registration, the government can make arrangements as soon as possible.
After all, the government needed to know how many people stayed behind so that they could make arrangements for spring ploughing. This could not be delayed.
After January, those who choose to leave must leave. Even if you regret wanting to stay, you will no longer be eligible to ask for land or houses. If you want them, you can buy them with your own money!
Jia Heming's words were like water dripping into a frying pan, and the refugees exploded instantly.
This is a really difficult question for everyone! However, everyone knows that a choice must be made.
Either stay or go home.
Many people want to go home, after all, that is their hometown. But when they think about what their hometown has become like after the flood, whether the houses are still there, and whether the fields have been occupied by wealthy people, they can't help but feel uneasy.
If there is nothing left in my hometown, will I be able to survive even if I go back?
Besides, the journey is long and the world is not at peace right now. Who knows what will happen on the way?
In case of any unexpected event——
But, after all, it is my hometown, and I will never let it go if I don’t go back. I will not give up unless I go back and see it with my own eyes.
Jia Heming listened to the excited discussions of the crowd with a blank expression on his face, but he understood in his heart.
This is not an easy choice, but it must be made.
It is impossible for Anzezhou to keep them in such an unclear way.
They can either leave or become residents of Anze Prefecture. Once they become local residents, it will be easier to manage them and they will have to fulfill their obligations.
Jia Heming gave them five days, and they had to discuss and come up with a result within five days.
If someone is vague and refuses to speak, it will be assumed that they have chosen to leave.
This is a big deal, once it is decided, no changes are allowed!
Therefore, everyone must be cautious.
Jia Heming dropped a bombshell, repeatedly appealed that the matter was of great importance and must be handled carefully, and then left.
No matter what choice is made, relocating these thousands of people will be a huge workload.
Five days later, Jia Heming sent clerks and yamen runners to four refugee resettlement sites, set up long tables in open areas, and asked each household to line up to register.
Those who choose to stay and those who choose to leave are registered separately.
The registration process took two days.
After summarizing, there were about 3,000 people who chose to stay, totaling more than 660 households, and more than 1,000 people chose to leave.
This result was not surprising to anyone.
Although intellectually speaking, staying is the best option, there will always be people who cannot let go of their homeland, and they will die with their eyes closed even if they go back to take a look.
Shao Yunduan had no objection to this and just asked Jia Heming to arrange things.
So Jia Heming gathered all the more than a thousand people and resettled them together. Although the change was a bit troublesome at the moment, it would be easier to send them out of the city together when the time comes.
Everyone was busy, still doing the work of clearing the wasteland. If they didn't work, they wouldn't get paid.
However, Jia Heming specifically gave some instructions, asking those who were going to leave in a few days to do some light work so that they could conserve more energy.
