The housekeeper informed the yamen servant: "Assign them to the village closest to the city. Your Majesty will arrange it. The wasteland can be reclaimed for free. After three years, the official formalities will be completed. From now on, they can cultivate it themselves. They will be tax-free for three years."

Then Butler Liu continued to say to Gu Xue: "Miss Gu, the land in the nearest village is relatively small, and they are all owned by owners, and there are very few people selling the land.

The fertility of the wasteland there is acceptable, similar to that of ordinary fields. With careful tending, it can be as good as medium-sized fields. However, because of its relatively remote location and close to the mountains, the locals are unwilling to cultivate it. "

Gu Xue understood that she was not allowed to spend a penny.

There are fields for sale in villages far away, but the refugees don’t have much money and can’t afford them.

In the nearest village, life is convenient, wasteland can be reclaimed for free, formal land deeds can be obtained in three years, there is a three-year buffer, and taxes are exempted.

It's really suitable for people who are fleeing the country like them.

The villagers who decided to settle down were very grateful to Gu Xue after hearing the news.

"Girl Gu, you are everyone's benefactor. Although I am uneducated, I also know that it usually costs money to settle down.

It's free now, and it all depends on you to save that old lady. "

"Yes, we are taking advantage of it."

“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuoriless, I thought that there was no way to survive, but I didn’t expect that when we got here, we could still open up wasteland without paying taxes. The chewing food in the fields is enough for our family to survive.”

Gu Xue raised her hand: "Everyone, line up and go through the formalities with Mr. Chai."

Butler Liu handed the magistrate's handwriting to the person in charge, then said goodbye and left.

Everyone lined up excitedly.

In about an hour and a half, 193 people completed their settlement.

They were all arranged to a village, and the responsible government officials took them to that village for resettlement.

The two sides waved goodbye.

There are 168 people in Gu Xue's group. While waiting just now, each household sent people to do some shopping and replenish some supplies.

A team of more than a hundred people started from the south city gate and lined up.

Against the sun, casting long shadows, we continued on our way.

The people who originally stayed planned to return the swords they had shared to Gu Chun and Gu Xue.

Because the knives were hidden in their luggage and they had paperwork, the government officials did not check them.

Gu Xue asked them to stay and defend themselves.

Even if it is used to chop firewood, iron tools in ancient times were very expensive.

"Village chief, where will we stop next?" a villager asked.

Because there are only people from Shitou Village and Yangshu Village now, it is more convenient for the two villages to discuss anything.

What's more, the village heads of the two villages are in-laws. The daughter of the head of Shitou Village is married to the son of the head of Yangshu Village.

The two village chiefs were accustomed to discussing matters.

The person who made the arrangements before was the village chief of Stone Village. In fact, the results were announced only after consensus between the two.

It’s just that the mayor of Yangshu Village talks little.

Now that we have a new direction, we have motivation and hope, and there are fewer people traveling with us, it becomes easier to manage.

The village chief of Yangshu Village is also more visible to everyone.

The two village chiefs called Gu Chun, Gu Xue, and the village chief's scholar sons, Shi Yuanliang and Shi Xiucai.

Five people gathered around.

Gu Chun took out the map and spread it on the stone between the five people.

Shi Xiucai was shocked when he saw the map.

He thought to himself: None of the maps I had seen from my teacher were as clear as the one in front of me.

Wherever there are rivers and where there are villages, the arrangements are clear.

Gu Xue saw Shi Xiucai's doubt: "The picture was picked up from a black shop."

Shi Xiucai was shocked when he heard this and did not ask in detail.

Gu Xue nodded secretly, "It's good for people who don't ask for details. It's convenient."

The five people looked at the map and found the location in front of them.

Going further south, the next state is Yuanzhou.

Some people suggested taking the path near the mountain, while Gu Xue suggested taking the official road.

"The official road will be faster, and those thieves don't dare to blatantly look for trouble on the official road. On the contrary, the side roads may be dangerous."

Gu Xue expressed her thoughts.

Both village chiefs agreed, Shi Xiucai also nodded, and Gu Chun naturally supported his sister.

Five people reached a consensus.

Everyone set out to take the official road.

Gu Xue was thinking about how to take out some of the horses in space and let everyone ride in the carriage, so that they could get on the road faster.

Gotta get out before two states get flooded.

After thinking for a while, I finally had an idea.

Gu Xue's brows stretched.

After walking dozens of miles all morning, people were tired and thirsty. The two village chiefs discussed and stopped at the edge of a mountain forest.

The women started to light a fire to cook, and the men gathered firewood.

Gu Xue went there on the pretext of convenience.

Walking to a hidden place a mile away, she entered the depths of the forest and began to use her thunder power to chop wood and make a cart.

She counted the people in this group, and found that apart from her own family and her maternal grandfather's family, there were still 13 households left. The village chief's family already had a cart made for them. If each household calculated 2 carts, 25 more carts would have to be made. car.

It’s not that Gu Xue is kind-hearted. Without a car, it will slow down the overall progress.

Others have no way to get cars except to buy them.

During the period of fleeing from famine, they would definitely not be willing to spend money in this place. Many people did not have that much money.

For the sake of the two village chiefs, she couldn't leave these people alone and escape alone.

Gu Xue was very fast, and the 25 carts were quickly finished, and she even made them look distressed.

These trucks not only look like old cars that have been used for a while, but even the traces on the body are different.

After finishing the cart, Gu Xue had an idea.

26 horses were moved out of space.

Then he hitched the horses one by one to the cart.

The remaining horse can be used for the cart already owned by the village chief.

Become!

Gu Xue pretended to have discovered the treasure and ran back to the resting place.

"Grandpa Village Chief, I found a treasure.

When I came out of there just now, I heard two people passing by muttering that they were from a nearby cottage.

Their chief executive and other people in the village were captured by a passing group of soldiers and taken to the Yamen.

The two of them stayed behind to take care of the remaining horses and carts.

After saying this, the two men vomited blood and died. They were poisoned. "

After Gu Xue finished speaking, she picked up the water bag on her waist and drank some water.

After the two village chiefs finished digesting what she said, she added:

"Two village chiefs, the carriage they were talking about was hidden a mile in front, in a hidden position, and I saw it.

These horses and carts are now ownerless, and they can be used by everyone on their way to escape the famine. "

The village chief was overjoyed.

Immediately, some 20 young and middle-aged people were arranged to follow Gu Xue and set off.

Sure enough, everyone followed Gu Xue through the forest, and soon they saw the group of horses.

There is also a set of trolleys.

The crowd cheered!

"That's great. I won't have to walk anymore when I get a car."

Gu Chun sighed: "How do I feel? This car seems to be tailor-made for us."

Gu Xuexin thought: Brother, you have discovered the truth.

About 20 young and middle-aged people led a cart with horses and drove to the place where the villagers rested.
