In famine years, the whole country is hiding from drought corpses. I have space and I am worthy of i

In less than a quarter of an hour, the men who went to mow the grass came back each carrying a small basket full of tender, dripping grass.

Uncle Wang walked up to her and said, "Erya, are these enough? I see that everyone has harvested so many, and they can still make up two or three baskets. I guess it should be enough."

"That's enough." Shen Nan nodded and asked everyone to carry the grass further ahead. After walking for a while, they stopped at a small slope.

"Take out the grass and go back all. Leave this place to me. I'm afraid there will be too many people and I'll scare them away." Shen Nan pointed at the horses and cows not far away.

"Okay!" Everyone agreed happily, already expecting all the horses and cows to come back, so they wouldn't have to be so tired.

After the crowd dispersed, Shen Nan gathered all the grass together, poured the drug into a small cup, dissolved it, and sprinkled it evenly on the young grass.

Then she spread the grass a little farther forward to make sure the cows and horses grazing there could see it.

After doing this, she walked back slowly, not worrying at all that they wouldn't take the bait.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for them to finish eating and soon saw the exceptionally green grass on the hillside, so they invited their friends to eat. This played into Shen Nan's wish, and all the cows and horses fell on the spot.

Everyone took advantage of the trick, took the rope, and finally nailed the wooden nail firmly in place to ensure that they could not pull it up.

In the evening, they had not yet woken up, and everyone had completely stopped thinking about rushing today. He built a straw hut early and planned to spend another night here.

Unexpectedly, the ground shook again. Fortunately, the earthquake was not particularly severe this time, and it only shook slightly for a minute or two.

The comatose cows and horses also woke up. When they woke up and saw that they were tied to ropes, they subconsciously struggled, but suddenly they saw mountains of young grass in front of them.

They have no IQ and think they just slept, and then happily eat grass again.

After eating grass, they were extremely obedient and returned to their previously tame appearance. Seeing this, the big stone in everyone's heart finally fell to the ground.

Early on the next morning, everyone was ready to go, following the map's instructions, and rushed to their final destination.

This place is very close to Lingzhou, and the speed of their group has returned to normal. With their own horse-drawn carriages and ox-carts, the speed has finally increased.

In early September, everyone arrived in Lingzhou.

At the gate of Lingzhou City, a dozen or so ragged people were vaguely seen. They carried simple luggage and were talking to the soldiers guarding the city.

Everyone carefully observed the expressions of the refugees and guessed what the official said. Someone asked: "Li Zheng, will this official ask us to pay money again to let us in?"

Li Zheng observed the man's expression carefully and saw that he was allowed to enter without giving anything to the official. Then he shook his head and said, "It should be for letting in. I see that the man did not pay any money."

"Okay, let's go, no money is required." Wei Ci waved to everyone.

This Lingzhou is the fiefdom of the Longxi Commandery Prince. The Longxi Commandery Prince is an honest man and very caring for the people.

Although the place under his jurisdiction is not as prosperous as the capital, it is still much more prosperous than other places. The king of Longxi County has tens of thousands of elite soldiers, so the place under his jurisdiction must have better security than other places. This is why he chose this place.

The villagers followed Wei Ci and walked towards the city gate. The city wall was tall and majestic, with soldiers standing on both sides.

A general in armor passed by and frowned when he saw them, but did not stop them.

However, a soldier next to them stepped forward to stop them and asked them if they had rushed here from somewhere else.

"That's right, we came from somewhere else." Wei Ci nodded.

"But you are here to escape?"

Wei Ci still nodded.

"Go to the county government office to register. The county magistrate will explain the situation to you then." The officers and soldiers said to everyone.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't wait to enter the city with their large and small bags.

After being exhausted from traveling all the way, everyone did not bother to rest and hurriedly entered the county government office.

When the county magistrate saw their appearance, he was startled for a moment, then calmed down and asked, "Do you want to settle here?"

Wei Sic noticed that the city was peaceful and knew that he had come to the right place, so he nodded towards him.

After talking about settlement, land and real estate, I didn't expect that the fields and real estate here are actually cheaper than those in the backing villages.

Homestead land is very cheap. You can buy a large piece of it for one or two taels of silver. If you don’t have money, you can live in a thatched house. However, the price of land is a bit expensive for them now. The best quality ones cost six taels of silver per acre. , the medium one is four taels of silver, and the low-grade one is two taels of silver.

Several well-off families in the village have bought one or two acres of high-quality land and three or four acres of low-quality land.

Those from a slightly poorer family can buy a small homestead, plus an acre of low-grade farmland, for a total cost of a little more than three taels.

Shen Nan had a large family, and seeing that the weather was getting colder, Shen Nan felt that he needed to build houses for the guards and brothers, so they bought three acres of homestead land.

None of their family was good at farming, but in line with the creed of not taking advantage of fools, Shen Nan bought dozens of acres of low-grade fields around the house.

It's not that she didn't want to buy a good one, but the location she chose was in the innermost part of the village. It was similar to the house in the backing village before, and it was close to the mountain, so the soil was not fertile.

After spending dozens of taels of silver, everyone got another home as they wished.

It was still early in the day, and they were taken by official messengers to the place where they bought land. The officials measured and marked out the land.

Fortunately, there are enough people in their village. Basically, people from one village can form a village.

I heard that this was the idea of ​​the King of Longxi County to absorb these refugees fleeing famine, give them low-priced fields and land, and encourage them to open up wasteland and farm.

The same goes for the villagers in their village. When they bought land before, the county magistrate told them that what they bought was wasteland and no one lived there yet.

But the fields have indeed been taken care of. This determines the grade of the field.

Now that everyone in their village has moved in, they realize that what the official said is indeed true. The weeds all over the mountains and fields will have to be taken care of for who knows how long.

After the official left, everyone looked at the homestead marked out by white lime and cried with joy. Although it was just a wasteland now, as long as they worked hard, they would be able to rebuild the mountain village here in a short time.

You can live here peacefully with your family, without having to worry about rebels coming in, or worrying about dead bodies and drought. They hugged each other excitedly and cheered.

Shen Nan was even more filled with emotion. He looked at Wei Ci, his eyes full of admiration and admiration. Li Zheng was the same. He walked up and said to Wei Ci: "Uncle Shen is really talented. Thanks to you, otherwise we The journey must not have been so smooth.”

Wei Ci smiled and said nothing, knowing that he had only done a small amount.
