Chapter 156 Daniu Village
Seeing Xiao Yuchen's expression changing, Jiang Nanyuan reached out and took his hand, interlocking their fingers.
At the same time, she looked up at him and asked, "What's wrong? You look a little strange."
Xiao Yuchen looked down at her hand holding his, smiled happily, and then shook his head.
"Nothing, I just heard that this village seems to be the village where my mother used to live."
Jiang Nanyuan was also very surprised when she heard what he said. She didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. He originally wanted to come and find his mother's adoptive parents.
The village he was assigned to was actually the village where his mother's adoptive parents lived.
It's really a coincidence.
Li Deshun felt relieved when he saw that they were willing to go to that village. He was really afraid that these people would not want to go. After all, to be honest, that village was really too dilapidated.
Instead of sending someone to take them to the village, he took them there himself.
The village is actually not very far from the county town. If you take a horse carriage, you can get there in less than half an hour.
Since he saw that they all had carriages and horses, he also asked someone to bring out a horse, and then led them towards Daniu Village.
Just as he said, in less than half an hour they had reached the intersection of Daniu Village.
He led them further inside. The village was backed by a mountain.
When they arrived at the village, Jiang Nanyuan and Xiao Yuchen got out of the carriage. When they saw the current state of the village, they were indeed quite surprised.
Looking around the village, there are rows of brick houses, but many of them have been damaged, or only a few roofs are left and most of them have collapsed.
There were people living in thatched houses inside. When they heard the noise outside, they all came out to check.
Seeing a carriage and people riding horses coming to the village, everyone looked at the newcomers curiously, as they were not from this village before.
The victims from other places fled here because Li Deshun had no place to accommodate them. Now that the disaster has passed, this place has become deserted.
But at least there are houses and fields here, and the houses can be lived in after a little renovation.
At first, these disaster victims who moved here wanted to live in brick houses, but those brick houses were severely damaged. They were fine when it didn't rain, but when it rained, they leaked everywhere.
They really can't do the repairs, and if they want to repair these houses they have to pay money.
They were disaster victims who had fled from other places, so how could they have extra money to repair their houses?
So they simply rebuilt the thatched huts, thinking of renovating them later when they had money.
It’s a pity that a major disaster had occurred here before, and the taxes levied by the imperial court had increased a lot. The grain they grew every year was not enough to feed themselves after handing it over.
Where could they get any extra silver? They heard that taxes had increased again this year, and when the people heard the news, they all looked miserable.
Everyone had to give up the better houses.
Take care of it first and eat your fill later.
"You two adults have seen that the house is in good condition now. It can still be lived in after some repairs.
And I can also grant you this land."
When Li Deshun said this, he glanced at Xiao Yuchen and the others from time to time.
He was really worried that these nobles would be angry.
"Okay, let's do it here. You go find some people to help us repair these houses, and you can also help prepare some materials."
They will be living here for a while, so the house needs to be repaired.
"Yes, yes, I'll arrange it now."
Li Deshun bent down and nodded repeatedly. He didn't know why, but when he saw Xiao Yuchen, he unconsciously wanted to obey.
After hearing Xiao Yuchen's request, he saw the villagers of Daniu Village coming out to watch the excitement, and he waved to one of them.
The man saw him waving to him, walked out of the crowd and bowed in front of him.
"grown ups."
“This is the current village chief of Daniu Village. If you have any difficulties or problems, you can come to him and he will help you deal with them in the future.
Huang Cai, these nobles will be settled in your Daniu Village from now on. If they have any needs, please do your best to meet them."
"Yes, yes, sir, I understand."
Huang Cai agreed repeatedly. Seeing that the county magistrate was so polite to them, he thought that these people must be from important backgrounds.
Remember not to offend them easily in the future.
Huang Cai was thinking this to himself, and his fellow villagers were just here to watch the fun.
After Li Deshun left, Jiang Nanyuan and the others began to observe the village.
They selected several rooms and waited for the repairmen sent by Li Deshun to come.
Xiao Yuchen and his friends were also busy. After learning that the current villagers were not the original inhabitants of Daniu Village, Xiao Yuchen asked Bai Zhan to investigate the previous situation of the village.
Even if there was a disaster in the village in the past, it is very strange why all the villagers moved away.
And where did his mother's adoptive parents go? He wanted to find out all these.
Bai Zhan immediately understood what Xiao Yuchen meant, and he took a few people with him and left the village.
The people Li Deshun found to repair the house also arrived half an hour later, bringing materials with them.
Li Deshun didn't know whether they had money on them, but he thought that since they didn't have money, he would take over, so he specifically instructed them to use the best materials.
There were about thirty people coming. After all, there were many people and many houses that needed to be repaired.
When there are more people, work can be done very quickly.
Li Wei, Zhao Hu and the people who came with them, including Xiao Yuchen's secret guards, were all helping.
They were not unfamiliar with the work of repairing houses. They had helped build several houses together in the secret realm before.
Not only that, the remaining villagers in the village also came to help out of kindness.
Jiang Nanyuan saw all of this. Since they were so kind-hearted, she would help them as much as she could in the future.
Because there were so many people, almost all the houses that so many people needed to live in were repaired before dark.
Jiang Nanyuan found the leader of the repair team, asked how much silver was needed, and paid the money.
He also gave them some extra silver. After these people bowed to Jiang Nanyuan and thanked him, they left Daniu Village.
Lin Zhixue, Jiang Wenjin and Jiang Nanyuan live in the same yard.
After all, Jiang Nanyuan is not married yet, so she does not live with Xiao Yuchen.
In the evening, Qiuyue and Baizhi were cooking in the kitchen.
Jiang Nanyuan called Jiang Wenjin over and asked him to take out the food from the warehouse and distribute some to the villagers.
There are only a dozen households in the village, and they all came to help in the afternoon.
Sending them some food can help them have enough to eat temporarily.
