The Adventures of Princess Saiya

Chapter 461: Escape from Famine in Ancient Times 4

After all, it was not just their county and city that suffered the disaster, there were also refugees fleeing from other places.

The Li family and other people in the village gathered together and were relatively safe. After all, with so many refugees gathered together, it was impossible for there to be no disputes.

In the capital, many officials' families organized porridge distribution, and all refugees could receive it for free.

Siya has also been there and found the porridge there to be pretty good, much better than the wild vegetable porridge they usually eat.

No matter what these ladies and young ladies who give out porridge think or plan, it has nothing to do with Sayya.

Judging from their actions rather than their intentions, they are doing good things!

Officials came to comfort the refugees and distributed some old clothes and food.

Saya frowned, but this wouldn't do.

So, Sayia wrote down everything she could think of, such as how to deal with and resettle refugees after the disaster and how to help them rebuild their homes. Then she made several copies of the proposal and secretly sent them to the homes of several well-known adults.

This way you don't have to worry about only delivering to one person and the other person not taking it seriously! Then you will have made a wasted trip.

Now, if a few more people are sent, there will always be one person who can convey the proposal she has written to the emperor.

Sure enough, not long after, the refugees received new arrangements from the government. Siya was still young, so she was only assigned the position of firewood maker.

As for the others, they were also assigned different tasks.

The refugees all have jobs and receive daily wages. Although it is not much, it is enough to make them happy.

They believe that as long as they work hard, their lives will get better and better, and they may even have some money when they return home.

At the end of a day's fire-making work, Sayia received two copper coins.

Li Wuqi said directly that whoever earned the copper coins would own them and there was no need to hand them over to the public.

So, Sia just put the copper coin away.

During this period, Saiya took a fasting pill from time to time, and drank a drop of spiritual spring water occasionally. She is now in good health, but she still looks thin, no different from other refugees.

After all, everyone is like this now, so she can't be different, right?

More than a month later, officials came to inform them that they could return home and, of course, settle down in a location planned by the government.

As for how to choose, it depends on them.

Li Wuqi called all the family members together to discuss whether to return to their hometown or settle down directly in the area designated by the government?

The Li family members had different opinions. Some wanted to go back to their hometown, thinking that they had lived there for many years and were familiar with many people. If they had any problems, they would be able to find someone to help them.

Some also felt that they should settle down. Although the imperial court had sent people to provide disaster relief, their survival could not be guaranteed as long as it did not rain for one day.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Li Tietou coughed, cleared his throat, and then said, "Dad, Mom, I mean to go back to our hometown. We have lived there for so many years, and we are familiar with the surrounding environment and people. If there is anything, we have people we know."

Wang Dani also wanted to return to her hometown, and Bai Rui and Song Danniang also wanted to go back.

Because of fleeing famine, they lost contact with their maternal families. Only by returning to their hometown could they see their parents again.

Li Song: "Have you asked the village chief? Does the village chief want to stay? Or go back to his hometown?"
