Chapter 709 Chapter 711
Wu Xiaoliu's eyes turned, "Is there any other better place?"
Captain Chen, "I don't know about that. After all, I have been around the county government office, but I have never been to any place further away.
There are so many mountains nearby that I dare not give you a definite answer.
If you feel it is not suitable, I can help you take a look at it later, but these days will be wasted."
At this time, Lai San grabbed Wu Xiaoliu's hand and walked to the side, "Boss, I think this place is good.
Think about it, this place is close to the county town, it will be much more convenient for us to go to the city in the future. If we go to a farther place, sometimes it will take one or two days to go back and forth to the county town, or even longer. "
He spent the whole day in various villages and knew that many women were married from distant villages, and there were many more from even more remote places.
On the contrary, if the place chosen this time had not been for the lack of flat land, it would have been occupied by someone long ago and would not have been preserved until now.
"But there's nothing here?" He still sounded a little disgusted.
"If everything is available, it won't be our turn." Lai Sanyue was more and more satisfied with this place. Moreover, according to the distance from here, it was not far from his aunt, so it would be convenient for him to move around in the future.
"What Lai San said makes sense," Zeng Dawang also agreed, "It's close to the county town, so if you have a headache or fever, you can find a doctor as soon as possible. If it's far away, you can only wait to die."
Thinking of his brother's thrilling experience in the past two days, Zeng Dawang felt that this place was very good and made him feel safe.
Captain Chen listened to their discussion from the side and nodded secretly. There were some knowledgeable people among them.
"Don't think that this place has nothing now. Think about it this way. You came here first and have all the advantages. It's such a big place, and you can choose whatever you want.
These days, people are signing up one after another. Maybe it won’t be long before there is no space left here.”
Seeing that they were still a little hesitant, Captain Chen raised the stakes.
Now, everyone's doubts were put aside. If they really thought this way, it would be very beneficial to them.
Just at this time, the village chief of the neighboring village also brought several villagers and carried the farm tools over.
When the village chief saw this group of people, he thought they were poor people from somewhere nearby. He looked at them with sympathy, said hello to Captain Chen, and left.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to stay and help, but there is a lot of things to do in his own village.
After counting the various farm tools in front of us, there was just enough for each person.
Captain Chen saw that they had all been allocated land, so he smiled and said, "There are so many big trees around here, you can cut them down first and build a cabin, and then slowly build the rest. But I will bring my master to measure the land on the mountain with you tomorrow. Once the land is divided, you can't be lazy."
Some things have to be said upfront, for fear that these people will take the money but not do their job, and then he will be in trouble.
"Don't worry, I will keep an eye on them and make them work hard." Wu Xiaoliu saw that everything was being implemented, and the hesitation in his heart had long been thrown away. "I have one more thing to ask the captain. If other people want to come here to claim the land, will they still be treated the same way?"
Captain Chen's eyes sparkled, and he nodded, saying, "If you had asked me yesterday, I wouldn't have dared to give you a definite answer, but we adults sympathize with your difficulties and paid for your resettlement expenses out of our own pockets.
But you also know that this is not a small amount of money, and the amount that can be subsidized is limited. The adults said that it is first come, first served. "
This is of course the magistrate's strategy. The actual subsidies will all be reported to Yongchang County, not a penny less.
Wu Xiaoliu nodded excitedly, "Then I'll take people to find the chief constable later."
"I will be at the city gate these days. Even if I am not here sometimes, you can tell the yamen runners and they will help you find me. But you have to be quick. If it takes too long, I cannot guarantee that you will still be treated like this."
Captain Chen spoke quietly, giving people a sense of urgency.
Wu Xiaoliu, "...Then I will go find them early tomorrow morning."
Captain Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't neglect your work here. The government still needs to inspect the land after it is opened."
Seeing that everyone could no longer stand and were even looking around for wood to build a house, Captain Chen did not stay for long. He said hello and left.
As for whether the mountain is safe? Captain Chen is not worried at all. He really thinks he has not noticed that these people have weapons hidden in their bags, and even some hunting tools. It is perfect for making a living here!
Looking at the empty valley, Lai San and his companions felt full of energy. This would be their place of settlement in the future, and the more they looked at it, the more they liked it.
"Boss, do you want to notify the other hilltops?" Lai San asked hesitantly.
Wu Xiaoliu, "I wanted to go and tell them, after all, we are all on the same path, even if we move to the foot of the mountain, we should still say hello.
Many people were forced to go to the mountains because they had no choice.
Now that I have such a good thing, I can raise my children and grandchildren in an upright manner, inherit the family's incense, and live my life without regrets."
Zeng Dawang looked at Wu Xiaoliu excitedly, "Boss, are you saying that we can still get married and raise children?"
Wu Xiaoliu kicked him and said, "Of course, we will have registered permanent residents in the future. We just need to be diligent, build our home quickly, and plant a few acres of land.
We can go to the mountains more often and hunt some game to supplement our family income. Sooner or later, we will be able to make a living. How far can a wife be?"
When these words were spoken, everyone's heart was filled with excitement, as if everything was moving in a good direction.
"Then let's choose the place where we want to settle down first, otherwise we will suffer a loss when other people arrive." Looking at this huge place, it is natural to choose a place that everyone will be satisfied with to build a house.
"Let's make it clear first. We have to build houses together so that we can take care of each other in the future." Lai San stood on tiptoe and looked around. "Tell me which place is suitable..."

Gu Wenheng and Mingfeng worked on the accounts for several days, distributed all the silver in the treasury to various places, and marked the amount of land to be opened. Only then did they slowly have some free time.
Cen Gaosong and his friends looked at the empty warehouse and felt unhappy.
A month ago, they were guarding a large sum of silver, but it was all gone in such a short time. I guess even rats would avoid the warehouse now.
"Sir, if you distribute all the silver now, what if there are not so many people to open up wasteland and cultivate the land?"
It's easy when you give it out, but it would be difficult to get the money back.
