"But it also says here that if we sign up voluntarily, not only can our families settle down here, but we can also receive subsidies."
Their purpose of blending into the crowd was to incite these refugees to join the army voluntarily, so they spoke very hard.

Seeing that the people who gathered around him were a little shaken, the man continued.
"There's a difference between being a voluntary and forced military household. Maybe after this period of time, we can come back."
"Besides, don't you think about it? The weather is getting colder. What use will this leaky wooden shed outside the city be? By the time autumn and winter come, you will either starve to death or freeze to death."
Everyone looked at the wooden shed not far away. It was a low shed supported by four wooden sticks, and there was no shelter from the wind around it.
But they still held on to some hope.
They no longer have to flee in fear these days. The general in the city has arranged for them to stay here, and someone provides them with porridge every day.
The general is kind-hearted. Will he ignore them when winter really comes?
With this in mind, someone asked.
Those who wanted to incite refugees wanted to spit in that person's face when they heard such righteous words.
How shameless!
How dare you ask for things so confidently!
Hold on!
They have a mission!
The man let out a breath and continued, "You're just daydreaming. Our household registration is not here. If the people inside don't want to take care of us one day, even if they beat us to death, we'll have to accept our fate."
"It's clearly stated on the notice that even if you sign up voluntarily, there are still a limited number of places. Those who sign up early can settle down early."
"What if I hesitate for too long and the general changes his mind and decides not to give the subsidy..."
The man stopped talking here, making everyone who was listening scratch their heads anxiously.
Some people were impatient and couldn't wait any longer, and felt that what the man said made a lot of sense, so they urged him to read out what the voluntary registration would be for.
"Little brother, can you tell me what this notice says?"
You have to know that if they had not fled here with their families, they would have been forced to conscript by the princes of the fiefdom, and would have become military households, and had been military households for generations, so they escaped here.

Now that there is another way out, naturally some people will be tempted.
"Big brother, the notice says that as long as one male from each family volunteers to join the army, they can be settled here. Then each person will be given seven taels of silver as resettlement fee and one mu of wasteland. If they want to exchange the silver for food or something, that's fine too."
Seven taels of silver!
Moreover, each family only needs one person, who can not only settle down but also provide money for the future.
Not only do we have money, but we also have land. Although it is barren land, it will be fine if we reclaim it. It is better than having nothing.
Those who were quick-witted immediately turned around and ran back to their own team.
The person who was speaking saw that his goal had been achieved, so he added fuel to the fire and said hastily, "I have to sign up quickly. What if I go too late and they don't give me money?"
As he said this, he went to the side of the city gate.
Others were also tempted, but they all watched with caution.
The place where porridge was usually distributed now had several bags of grain, eggs, pork, chicken and other things on display.
In order to prevent some refugees from stealing, soldiers stood guard on both sides.
Shen Yu'an sat behind the table next to the grain bag, looking at the noisy crowd not far away with a faint smile on his face.
It seems that the effect is significant!
As one person came and was really taken to apply for a new household registration, more people came one after another.
At the same time, a piece of news was slowly spreading among these refugees.
The various kinds of food that those who volunteered to join the army exchanged for were all given free of charge by a store called Xiangrui Grain Store.
More and more people volunteered to join the army, and fewer and fewer people gathered outside the city gate.
And the food and other items in front of Shen Yu'an were actually taken away by the refugees.
In order to avoid any accidents during the settlement process, General Xiangnan sent people to send these people to their settlement places.
While this matter was going on, a shocking news quickly spread from the capital.
The emperor has passed away!
The refugees who were still hesitating outside the city noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and each household selected at least one person to sign up for the army.
