Chief Luo was extremely proud. "Haha, what's the saying? Money makes the world go round. We Luos can do this, if we spend a little money and open up some connections, even if nothing else."
And have I ever told you that the reason we, the Luo people, can expand our business nationwide is not just because we make money, but more importantly, we spend money and invest in talent from all over the world."
When Mrs. Wen heard this, her heart trembled. She looked at Xiushui, and both of their eyes said: I surrender.
The ancients were really smart. Look at their relationship skills, investment in human resources, etc. This kind of vision is not something that ordinary people can have.
Those who are here alive and can represent everyone are all top-notch people with brains and vision.
After hearing what Chief Luo said, everyone was speechless. Feeling the hatred and helpless gazes of the others, Chief Luo did not hold back at all.
"Well, as the saying goes, money isn't everything. But without money, it's absolutely impossible. Because we, the people of this tribe, have suffered so much, we've learned to use money if it can solve a problem.
Everyone, don't worry, if we're lucky, we might be assigned together!"
The head of the female village rolled her eyes in anger. It must have been a great honor to be able to arrange everyone together.
The people of Liuhua Country are not fools, so they can't stick together. If hundreds of them become disobedient and oppose them again, it would be a loss of the greater good.
In everyone's opinion, the possibility of being arranged together is very small.
However, surprisingly, after arriving at the place and finding the officials who took in the refugees, they said they were from Houshan Village.
“You now have two choices. One is to be dispersed by us and then assigned to the five villages near Ancheng.
The second option is to arrange for you all to stay in one village, but it's about three days' journey from Ancheng.
The most important thing is that the place is a border village, that is, a village between Longqing Country and Xinxing Country."
Everyone was excited when they heard that it could be arranged in a village.
The old village chief didn't even ask for everyone's opinions, and all the villagers responded in unison.
"We choose to be in the same village. Village chief, we will not separate."
Everyone, even those from the women's village and the Luo clan, were now staring at the old village chief.
"Yes, we don't want to separate, we just want to stay together."
Some people also quietly pulled their family members and whispered their opinions.
"Master, why don't you pick one of the villages near the city? Why do you have to choose a village next to another country? The most feared thing about such a village is war.
If chaos breaks out, lives could be in danger."
The man gave his wife a cold look.
"You have no eyesight. I've always supervised you to learn more words, but you just want to be lazy. Look, you can't even see the situation clearly now. It's really a waste of your food.
Don’t you think about it, if you are separated and arranged to another village, will the original people there reject you?
You can't even understand what others are saying, so what can you do when someone bullies you?"
“Also, the old lady of the Wen family said that she wanted to open a clinic. If they really open it in a critical area, once the reputation spreads, people from several countries will come to the village.
With such popularity, do you think our village won't be very popular?"
When people who don’t quite understand hear this, they think, oh my god, isn’t that the truth?
Fortunately, I didn't ask it, otherwise I would be laughed at by everyone for being disunited and called stupid.
The despised woman was not angry, but just looked surprised.
"Hey, boss, you should tell me more about the situation. If you don't tell me, how can I, a woman, know so much?
You're right, I need to learn more words, read more, and listen more, otherwise I won't be able to think straight when encountering problems..."
Yan Laoba felt quite disappointed when he heard that they were not going to be resettled in their own village.
However, he also knew that it was because of their unity that this group of people were able to escape the famine and come all the way here. Therefore, in the end, he could only wave goodbye reluctantly.
Before leaving, he repeatedly told Chu Laowu, the old village chief and others that if they came to Ancheng or something, they must look for him, because he would not go out to graze in the next six months.
Of course, the men responded enthusiastically to this. After all, knowing more people makes things easier, especially in a new country. If you want to quickly break in, you have to get along with the locals quickly.
After receiving instructions and signs, we also received a piece of good news: all the relocated people would be provided with 20 kilograms of coarse grains.
In the first two years, the population tax, land tax, etc. were exempted.
This good news is really great for the villagers.
After all, taxes are a huge expense every year.
After the group bought enough food and other daily necessities in Ancheng, they set off for their destination, Linji Village.
Yes, that’s right, the resettlement place this time is called Critical Village.
According to the guide, we were actually talking about the critical village, but it was still far from the border.
It would take at least seven or eight days to get to Longqing Country.
As for the new country, it would take at least ten days to survive.
However, when mentioning the critical five villages, this person still looked a little embarrassed.
When Xiushui and her grandmother saw this, the two of them started grumbling again.
"Grandma, I don't think the place we arranged this time will be very good."
The old lady is very optimistic.
"No matter how bad this is, I think we can still farm. For a bunch of peasants like us, as long as we have land, it won't be difficult for us to do anything."
However, when they finally arrived at Critical Village 5, everyone felt their hearts sink as they looked at the wasteland in front of them and the withered weeds on it.
Desolate, barren, and lifeless—that was everyone's first impression. Furthermore, there were countless stones everywhere, and even if they wanted to build a house, they would have to clear a lot of them.
The allocated area is large enough, but living well here is... difficult.
The old village chief also thought that a village that could accommodate hundreds of people like them must be a place that was not very popular.
However, no matter how much you dislike it, it can't be just a mess of rocks and saline-alkali land.
Some villagers didn't believe it and ran over to pick up the soil, smell it, and taste it.
"Pah! This is truly saline soil! God, we can't even grow crops in a place like this. How are we going to survive after we're settled here?"
Yeah, how are they supposed to survive? They had just escaped famine, only to be sent to such a desolate place. One woman couldn't bear the shock and burst into tears...
