Chapter 929 Settlement
Li Tieniu and Jiang Xiaoxiao also discussed it. The two of them had observed these 400 people a lot in recent days and found that these 80 families were really well selected.
Every family is hardworking, honest and loyal.
Especially when working, he is very proactive and never hides anything, let alone being lazy.
It was obvious that these people were quite envious of the people in Lijia Village, especially the able-bodied men in Lijia Village, whom they saw training every day.
Those workers who were tired from work would run outside their training ground during their rest time and run and jump according to the methods they were trained to do, although they did not understand what they were doing.
But it was obvious that the strong men in Lijia Village were different from them. When they were fighting and training with sticks without gun tips, they could see the murderous aura in their eyes, which was even more powerful than that of the government soldiers.
These refugees are not stupid at all. They naturally know that the wall has been built.
Although this village is small, the problem is that it has formed a small provincial capital.
Whether it is bandits or looting foreigners, it would be very difficult to break this city wall. It is definitely much safer to live here than in the original village which has no defense at all.
They also want to live a normal life.
Naturally, Jiang Xiaoxiao and the others also hope that these people will stay. After all, there are 400 people.
Although there are inevitably many old and young people there, there are more than a hundred able-bodied men here. If all of these more than a hundred people are trained, the strength of the entire Lijia Village will definitely be improved by more than one level.
Even if a large group of bandits came, they would not be afraid.
In the past, those who wanted to win over Linjia Village were counting on the large number of able-bodied men in Linjia Village.
If the two villages were able to join forces and guard each other, they would inevitably be in a state of panic if they encountered attacks from bandits in the future.
After all, there are too few able-bodied men in the village and too many people to protect.
But these 400 people in front of us are clearly manpower.
In ancient times, the most scarce thing was people. Many people died due to displacement and war.
The population has decreased significantly, so the most lacking thing is people.
Representatives of the eight households found Jiang Xiaoxiao and Li Tieniu and explained that they wanted to stay in the village.
Li Tieniu looked at Jiang Xiaoxiao, there was really nothing he could do, he had become accustomed to having Master Jiang as his backbone, whatever Master Jiang said was the truth.
Of course, Young Master Jiang is indeed capable. Young Master Jiang, who has a way to allow them to earn tens of thousands of taels of silver in one trip, is naturally better than him.
They are literate, smart, and skilled in martial arts. It would be foolish for such people not to learn from them and listen to them. Just look at how much Young Master Jiang has done for their village.
They are willing to use their money to build a city wall for the villagers to protect the entire village. Just for this reason, they have to listen to Master Jiang.
Even though Young Lady Jiang is a girl, she is stronger than all the men in their village combined.
Although Li Tieniu was not very smart, he was sure of one thing: whatever Master Jiang said, he would definitely go no wrong if he followed his lead.
The eight families understood at a glance that the one in charge here was Young Master Jiang.
Jiang Xiaoxiao would definitely agree, but she still had to say something ugly in advance.
“We understand why you want to stay, but we can also see that you want to stay. Our Lijia Village is a small village with not much land. You have left so many people, and the land in the village is actually not enough to support so many people.
If you want to stay, you can only go up the mountain to open up wasteland. Of course, there are many wastelands near us. If you plan to stay, we can share the good and the bad like a family.
Our village naturally has its own way of getting rich. In the future, we will build the city walls wider and wider to include all the fields within the walls. I believe those bandits and foreigners will never be able to bully us again.
You should have noticed these days that the able-bodied men in our village are capable of fighting. I might as well tell you that the able-bodied men in our village are private salt dealers. These people have been trained and have seen blood.
The most powerful time we faced was when we encountered 200 bandits. We defeated them with 50 people, almost one against four. I am not saying this to intimidate or scare you, but I just hope you will think carefully.
Coming here means starting from scratch. What's more important is that everyone is united and work together, and more importantly, obey orders."
The eight people nodded. The fact that the other party could explain it so clearly was actually for their own good. All that was required was for them to obey orders.
How could they not obey orders from others?
In the village, you have to obey the orders of the village elders and the head of the village. Outside the village, you have to obey the orders of the officers and soldiers and government servants. Even if you encounter bandits on the road, you have to obey the bandits' orders.
In this case, as long as we can give them food, let them live a good life, and keep the family alive, it doesn't matter who we listen to.
"Master Jiang, we will listen to you from now on. We will do whatever you tell us to do. We are not afraid. As long as we can have enough food to eat, we will do anything in this world."
The leader Li Dahu hurriedly replied that when the road was the most difficult and he could not survive, he really thought about becoming a bandit.
It was because his parents died at the hands of bandits, otherwise he would really become a bandit.
I can't just watch my family starve to death, but now I don't have to be a bandit, I just have to follow orders.
Dry!
Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded, that’s easy.
Li Tieniu took the people away directly, and then took them to the government office to handle the settlement procedures.
After all, with so many refugees arriving in Lijia Village, they naturally had to help the government with their household registration.
The government officials heard that this was a good thing. If the 400 refugees were left in the city, they might cause trouble. Since they were willing to settle in the surrounding villages, the surrounding villages were also willing to accept these refugees.
That would be a happy thing for everyone, so they naturally would not stop it and would immediately help them with the procedures.
He doesn't eat a single grain of his own rice.
These 80 families do not even have to move. They will continue to live in the same houses as they did originally.
After all, the house has been empty for so long that it is now their home.
Suddenly I had a home and felt at ease.
Everybody couldn't help but feel happy.
Of course, what is more important is that Li Tieniu announced that all the able-bodied men from the 80 households that settled there would be selected to join the 18-person training team in their Lijia Village.
The unpacking was divided into three teams, each with about 50 people.
Each team has a team leader, who is of course elected by the able-bodied men in the village. They are called squad leaders.
This year's autumn harvest in Lijia Village was also a bumper harvest.
