Upon hearing the man's words, Qin Mu echoed him:
“This sister-in-law is right! Our Lord Fang Shizhong is a good official who cares about the people.”
While others were colluding with merchants to profit from the national crisis, he first met with those merchants and forbade them from taking the opportunity to raise prices.
After that, he almost spent all his family fortune and used his connections to manage to get food and supplies to this area.
The goal is to ensure that the already suffering and disaster-stricken people have food to eat.
So whether you stay or leave, he will definitely be able to handle this matter well.
The problem is that you are the first wave of people to come here. Will there be a second or third wave?
Last night, I made a special trip into the Beilian Mountains to take a look.
Perhaps because it was night, I couldn't see very clearly.
Therefore, I have one request for you right now.
As soon as he finished speaking, the people from Wuning Prefecture present asked one after another, "What are your requirements?"
Qin Mu stated frankly: "If a second or third wave of people comes..."
I hope you can stop them and send someone to Chijia'ao to inform them.
In return, I believe the people of Chijia'ao will not treat you unfairly!
Song Chongjin thought it was something serious, but when he heard it was so simple, he agreed on behalf of everyone.
"Of course! Since we're going to settle here, we'll do whatever you ask, Brother Qin, without you even having to ask."
Only we ourselves know what we've been through to get here.
Therefore, it is clearer what will happen if someone comes and we do nothing.
"Speaking of which, we'll have to trouble our neighbors in Chijia'ao for help then."
The people of Wuning Prefecture, who had initially just followed Qin Mu's words and thought it wouldn't be a difficult task, immediately recalled how they got there after hearing Song Chongjin's words.
Immediately, their expressions changed, and their faces became much more sincere.
Yes, among those who made it this far, how many families haven't had blood on their hands?
Whether it's voluntary or involuntary, it's all about finding a way to survive for themselves and their families.
Now that they've arrived at their destination, they can settle down.
But who can guarantee that when the next person arrives and sees what they've worked so hard to accumulate, they won't have any designs on it?
They are not wary of people and do not kill, but why do people who come to them want to attack them?
It's always better for them to be more cautious.
They are helping themselves, not the people of Chijia'ao!
Because of Song Chongjin's words, the people of Wuning Prefecture, who had been thinking about these things, spoke with much more sincerity this time.
"Brother Qin, right? Don't worry, if we find anyone, we will definitely have someone notify the villagers of Chijia'ao immediately."
"Yes, Brother Qin, don't worry. If any more people from Wuning Prefecture want to come down the mountain, then this place where we are staying now will be their only way down."
Even if we don't care about the neighbors in Chijia'ao, we should at least keep an eye on things for ourselves.
"Brother Qin, when are you going down the mountain? When we settle down here, do we have to go down ourselves, or will the government officials come here?"
Or perhaps we could have Scholar Song go down the mountain to handle it on our behalf?
"Brother Qin, I heard that everything in your area was destroyed because of the earthquake. If we settle here, will we also have to perform corvée labor?"
And what about the taxes? How will they be calculated?
When it comes to corvée labor and taxes, even Song Chongjin couldn't help but show concern.
