Rebirth: The wedding night, my whole family was exiled, I raised 500,000 soldiers

Hongliutun was a military settlement, where they cultivated during the busy farming season and trained soldiers during the off-season. When the first snow fell in summer, the soldiers stopped cultivating the land, cleared the snow in the morning, stored firewood for the winter, and squeezed out time for training after finishing their chores in the afternoon.

If you want to live a decent life, you can't rest. If you rest for one day, your family may have one less fire to burn. In the winter in Dongchuan, even if you have one less fire to burn, you can still freeze to death!

Sergeant Zhang Liao got up as usual, and the first thing he did was to ask his wife if there was enough firewood. He said there were good people and children at home, so he shouldn't be frugal.

"That's enough. Don't go too far to collect firewood. There are many tigers and hungry wolves in the mountains. It's too dangerous!" Wang said with a worried look on her face.

She would rather have one less fire to burn at home than have her man live in fear after going into the mountains!

"I won't tell you anymore. You won't understand even if I tell you." Zhang Liao said as he put on his cotton coat. Outside the cotton coat, he also put on a layer of wolfskin knee pads, a wolfskin waistcoat, and gloves.

Looking at the four worn fingers on a glove, Zhang Liao sighed silently.

Just as I was about to sit up, I heard a quarrel outside.

"Damn it, you all are so energetic. You have nothing better to do. Go up the mountain to collect firewood for me!" Zhang Liao clapped his gloves angrily and walked out the door.

The Shen family was surrounded and about to be beaten when Zhang Liao opened the door and came out.

Hey, these people are not from Hongliutun.

"Who are you? Why are you yelling at my doorstep so early in the morning?" Zhang Liao walked over with a fierce look on his face.

Wang, who was following behind, saw so many unfamiliar faces and hurried to call for help.

Liu Yanhui stopped watching the fun and walked towards Zhang Liao.

"We were arranged here by the county, and this is our household registration." Liu Yanhui showed Zhang Liao her own and her family's household registration.

Zhang Liao didn't know many words, but he knew the county's seal.

He frowned and hesitated, "Are you exiled prisoners?"

Liu Yan smiled back as a reply.

It’s no wonder that Zhang Liao guessed it right. One third of the population of Hongliutun were exiled here.

But these people are different from those prisoners. The prisoners who were exiled here before were all sent to the army, but this one is indeed a farmer as written on the household registration!

In the past, he had received quite a few convicts who had been sent to the army for conscription, so he could still distinguish the household registrations of the convicts from those of the farmers!

"Who brought you here?" There was obviously something wrong with these people. As the highest-ranking official in Hongliutun, Zhang Liao naturally had to ask about it.

Liu Yan replied, "We were brought here by the county yamen runners. Something happened in the county yamen, and the runners hurriedly took care of us and then hurried back!"

Zhang Liao knew what happened in the county government. Baihe County was not big, but if something happened in the government, the whole county would know about it within a day.

Zhang Liao returned the household registration to Liu Yanhui.

"Okay, since you have joined our Hongliutun, you are the people of Hongliutun. We are all military households here, and everything must be done according to the rules of the army. You all understand, right?" Zhang Liao glanced at the crowd with a cold face!

Liu Yan nodded: "Our family will definitely obey the management!"

When Zhang Liao heard him say this, he nodded with satisfaction and turned to the other prisoners.

Others followed in twos and threes, saying, "We will obey the management too!"

Zhang Liao nodded expressionlessly: "We will give you three days to settle down. After three days, all males over fifteen years old in your family will go up the mountain with us to collect firewood!"

Liu Yan replied, "Master Zhang, the county has only allocated three houses for us, and there is not enough space for us. Can we buy some uninhabited houses from the village?"

Zhang Liao looked at Liu Yanhui with a strange look in his eyes: "You want to buy it with money?"

Others also took the opportunity to say, "We want to buy it too!"

Shen Yuanjing: "We'll buy it too."

Zhang Liao frowned. Are these people trying to spend all the resettlement money? Seeing that they all have clean and rosy faces and are dressed warmly, they must have brought enough silver.

After realizing this, Zhang Liao's complexion immediately improved a lot.

There are many vacant houses in Hongliutun. If these people have money, it would be a good idea to sell them to them. They can just use the money to buy more food!

"Okay, wait for me here!"

Just as Zhang Liao was about to take people to see the house, Wang came over with a group of people.

The soldiers stationed there were all strong and healthy, and they looked intimidating when they stood at the door of Zhang Liao's house.

The prisoners didn't even dare to breathe, and quietly asked Liu Yan to come back.

After hearing Zhang Liao's words, the garrison troops calmed down a lot.

These are not criminals at all, they are simply the God of Wealth!

"Brother Zhang, there are a lot of vacant houses next to my house. The roofs aren't leaking much, just the tops of the walls have collapsed a bit!"

"There are a few empty houses near my home, built with stones, very solid. These are good houses!"

The meaning is very clear, good houses are more expensive, bad houses are cheaper!

The three houses allocated by the county government had no roofs and were completely uninhabitable.

All these people must be settled before morning!

"Put your things here first. No one dares to touch your things until I give the order!"

"You guys come and look at the house with me now."

After Zhang Liao finished arranging the matters concerning the house, he told his men to go and collect firewood as soon as they had eaten and drunk their fill.

"There are three empty rooms here. The roofs are all good, but the courtyard wall has collapsed. The stove and the kang are still good, and the courtyard is big. Whoever wants to give eight taels will do!"

No one spoke. Zhang Liao's face looked a little bad. He secretly cursed himself for being wrong. These were all poor guys and had no money to buy a good house!

"This one has a nice roof and walls, a large yard, and a bluestone slab on the ground. There's even a well in the yard. Twenty...fifteen taels, I guess!"

These people can't even come up with eight taels, so fifteen taels would be hard to come by!

Liu Yan replied: "Write this down first. If there is nothing better later, take this one!"

Zhang Liao was shocked, his eyes turned, thinking that after all this time he had to deal with this shabby house, no one would like it!

He grinned and said, "If you like nice houses, you should have told me earlier. There are many nice houses built with stones in Hongliutun. They are all sturdy and durable, and have high walls!"

"Come on, let me take you somewhere else!"

After walking for a while, Zhang Liao led them to rows of stone houses.

"These are all good houses. Otherwise... we would definitely not sell them to you!" Zhang Liao said nothing more, pushed the door and led them in.

"There are tables, chairs and benches inside. There are many houses, and none of the roofs leak. The yard is also large, and there is a well ten meters away from the door. If I wasn't so attached to my home, I would have moved here with my family long ago."

The place is nice, and most importantly, it is very clean, as if someone cleans it regularly.

"how much is it?"

Zhang Liao opened his mouth and made the number three.

"I'm not exaggerating, this house won't collapse even if it snows heavily!" After saying that, he pursed his lips a little guiltily!

Liu Yan replied: "Okay, this one counts as one, let's go look somewhere else!"

After Zhang Liao and Liu Yan visited the three stone houses, he became puzzled.

"You want more?"

The house we booked is big enough for all these people to live in!
