Chapter 39 Escape 1: What should I do if I don’t have enough money?

Luo City, which everyone had longed for, soon arrived, and a long line of refugees lined up at the gate of Luo City.

"Boy Zhang, boy Zhang, come to the front, hurry up, let's go and find out." Sang Laizi shouted to Lao Zhangtou at the back of the team.

"Hey, it's coming, it's coming." Old Zhangtou ran very fast.

"Let's go, let's go quickly, there will be more people soon." Sang Laizi couldn't wait and grabbed Lao Zhang's head and went to inquire about the soldiers.

Sang Youmu led the tribesmen to stand in the open space aside and wait.

The two of them came back soon, their faces beaming with joy. It seemed like something was going to happen!

"Dad, how are you? Can you settle down?" Sang Youmu asked eagerly.

"Yes, why not? The lord of Luo City is a good man and a good official!" Lao Zhangtou was the first to speak out excitedly, wiping his eyes repeatedly. It was a difficult journey!

"Yes, yes, we just need to bring out our roadmap, genealogy, and things that can prove our identity, and they will give us a place to settle down. We don't even need a copper coin! What an official!" Sang Laizi also excitedly walked towards the city gate. They bowed repeatedly everywhere.Finally worthy of the ancestors of the Sang family, he found a way for the Sang family to survive.

"Really? Are you really able to settle down? Do you still want copper coins?" Sang Youmu exclaimed, and the tall man's eyes were also red.

"Boy Zhang, go and line up first. Boss, hurry up and ask the clan members to prepare everything for the official to check." Sang Laizi went to find the fifth uncle of the Sang family to get the genealogy, and the official will do the same later. To be checked.

A total of five teams were divided at the city gate. The Sang family and the Zhang family lined up together, and it was their turn soon.

Looking at the large number of them, the official responsible for checking their route raised his eyebrows: "You can do it! It's rare for me to be able to lead so many clan members here. It's not easy for the two clan leaders!"

"You are joking, you are joking, we are no one, we are all blessed by our ancestors! Blessed by our ancestors!" Lao Zhangtou nodded and bowed and smiled in apology.

The official didn't want to embarrass them. He happily began to check the road guide and genealogy. After confirming that they were correct, he asked the two clan leaders: "There are two choices. Do you choose to disperse to the village? Or choose on your own." Where to open up wasteland for farming?"

Sang Zizi and Lao Zhangtou looked at each other and understood what each other meant.

Lao Zhang rubbed his dark hands covered with chilblains and cracks, with a naive smile on his face, and said sheepishly: "Master, please tell us clearly how it is divided..." What kind of dispersion?”

The official was not annoyed, and carefully explained to them the two options for settling in Luocheng: "First, we can arrange ten households for each of you in the original villages in Luocheng, until all of you are divided. people."

"Then...then...won't that mean...there will be no clan members?" Lao Zhangtou was a little anxious, he couldn't choose this.

"What about the second one?"

"Second, our Luocheng area is very large, there are not many people, and there are a lot of wastelands and mountains. You can choose to encircle a piece of land and go to the Yamen to pay the transfer to your clan. As long as it is the wasteland you have created, it will be transferred to your clan. It belongs to you, and you don’t have to pay taxes for the first three years. It’s because you came early, and there is still plenty of land! When we recruit enough people in Luo City and enclose all the land, we will no longer recruit refugees. There is no need to go now. Pay the money at the Yamen, go over there, pay directly and then you can choose a place to settle down." The official spoke very carefully and pointed out the place to them.

Lao Zhangtou and Sang Laizi bowed and thanked each other, and led the clan members to the place where the money was transferred.

There was a clerk sitting here, and he was very enthusiastic when he saw them coming. The people who came before were all homeless people, and this was the first time he saw the whole family coming together.

"Come on, come on, let's see which piece of land you want to choose. There are a lot of good places while there are few people!" The clerk opened the simple map on the table and called the two clan leaders to come over and take a look.

Sang Ye also followed her uncle and grandfather to the front and looked at the simple map. Unfortunately, she couldn't understand it.

"If you have enough money in your pocket, choose a place with good mountains and rivers. When the time comes, you can build a house, live comfortably, and travel conveniently. If you don't have enough money, choose a remote place. It's not like we can have a home." The clerk was sincerely planning for them.

"How much silver will it cost?" Sang Laizi was a little worried. He was afraid that the price would be too high and they wouldn't be able to get it.

"A better land will cost ten taels of silver, and a remote one will cost five taels of silver." This is also the reason why most people choose to settle in scattered areas. It costs no money to settle in scattered areas, and the price of enclosing land is too high!

"Hiss—" Lao Zhangtou couldn't believe what he heard?Twelve?Five taels?silver?

The tribesmen lining up behind also gasped.

Sang Laizi was also in a dilemma. How should he choose?The key is that they don’t have that much money!

Sang Ye didn't care about so many things, so he squeezed forward again, squeezed in front of the table, raised his face and asked: "Is there a big place with good mountains and good water that can accommodate all of us?" ?”

The clerk was surprised, this child can make the decision?Still he said responsibly: "Yes, it is a high-grade resettlement place, and the price is higher, it costs 15 taels."

hiss--

The team fell silent for a moment.

Sang Ye was very happy, she liked the big ones, and everyone heard her Hanhan's cheerful voice.

"We need the land here, transfer the ownership and register!"

Everyone............

Documents? ? ? ? ?

No, do you have money?Can you decide?

Sang Ye said that she was really capable. She took her uncle and grandfather to the side and murmured for a while. When she came back, she confirmed again to the paperwork: "It needs a high-quality resettlement place with good mountains and rivers and convenient travel."

Documents........................

Sang Laizi hurriedly added: "Sir, don't worry about it like a child. We don't have so much money now, but we have good things to give to the Lord of the City. If the Lord of the City likes you, see if you can talk to the Lord of the City. Let's make peace and we can settle down without paying five taels of silver."

The clerk frowned, what good thing is worth five taels of silver?

"You show me what it is first."

"Hey, please come this way." Sang Laizi quickly led the way and motioned to his eldest son to lift the tarpaulin on the car.

Looking at the cart full of thin sticks with dirt on them, the clerk was a little annoyed. Could these unscrupulous people be playing a trick on him?

Looking angry at the document, Sang Ye quickly took a few steps forward, took out a yam and began to introduce it: "This is a yam, edible and medicinal..."

After the introduction, the clerk was stunned. This was something he had never heard of before. It was edible, medicinal, and nourishing. It was a good thing, and it was a great achievement!

The way the clerk looked at this group of refugees was wrong. These people gave him a chance to make meritorious deeds!If he reports this matter, it will at least move him up a level!

"Cover the things and protect them tightly. I'll report it right away. Wait for me." He ran away before he could finish his words.

Everyone looked at each other in shock. Sang Youmu reacted quickly and quickly pulled up the tarpaulins and covered things tightly.

Everyone did not dare to move and silently surrounded the car, waiting for the official's arrival.
