Farmer's Little Girl

Chapter 561

Zhou Silang took the rice back to the kitchen, poured it back into the pot, pulled out the hot ash and some residual carbon blocks from the stove, and then put the pot on it so that the rice would be hot all the time and would not become cold immediately.

After all this, he took the pot of vegetables out.

Out of the alley, walk along the street to the most prosperous section. There are often some small or old beggars begging there.

During his visit to Yizhou City, Zhou sirang dared not say that he had visited the whole Yizhou City, but he was familiar with the place where they lived and the nearby streets.

At the beginning, when you walk around, you will always get lost and ask for directions from people on the road, but you will always meet people who don't want to talk to you, or deliberately show you the wrong way, or people who obviously don't understand, but have to show you the way.

The number of times he was hit by the pit was more. Zhou Silang knew that it was more reliable to ask the roadside beggars for directions.

In addition, some restaurants on the street like to let some clean hands help run errands, deliver food and recycle tableware every day.

They say they are idle, but they are also beggars.

The restaurant pays them some food and they run errands for the restaurant.

Zhou Silang met them several times and got acquainted with them as soon as he came and went.

Because today is Qingming Festival, the restaurants at the entrance of the alley are not open, and the beggars don't know where they have gone.

Zhou sirang walked along the street to the prosperous place. When he saw a restaurant with a big door, he turned and entered an alley, which was the back door of the restaurant.

Sure enough, as soon as I walked in, I saw a group of ragged people looking for something in a barrel.

Zhou Si Lang narrowed his eyes and finally found a familiar man. He coughed and shouted, "San er?"

An eight or nine year old boy turned around and saw Thursday Lang, so he walked up lazily, "brother Thursday, did you help us find a job?"

"You've contacted all the restaurants on the street. What can I find for you? Come on, I brought you a pot of vegetables. "

As soon as saner heard this, he immediately rushed up with his bowl and saw the dishes and meat inside. He was very surprised, "brother Thursday, are you rich?"

"No hair. Isn't this Qingming Festival? Please have a good meal. There are only vegetables and no rice."

Three children waved their hands, and other little beggars rushed up and said, "it doesn't matter, we have."

They have some Nang cakes and steamed bread. Although they are not complete and have been kept for several days, they are delicious with such dishes and meat.

Especially this dish is still hot.

Zhou Silang gave the food to san'er and asked him to divide it. They were pleasantly surprised to find that the food was hot and very happy.

Zhou Silang took back the empty basin and saw that they were eating with relish. He waved his hand and said, "I'll go first. Take your time."

Everyone said goodbye to Zhou sirang warmly, "fourth brother, go slowly."

"The fourth brother is easy to go."

When Zhou Silang came to the entrance of the alley, he saw man Bao. They were carrying something and staring at him in amazement. He first glanced at the basket in their hands and immediately welcomed him happily, "have you bought it? So fast! "

Man Bao nodded, "there are few people going to the restaurant today, so the speed is very fast."

She glanced at the empty basin in thurlang's hand and frowned and asked, "fourth brother, you just took the food..."

"Oh, they are friends I know outside. I'll tell you when I go back." Zhou Silang was a little hungry. He was very attentive to carry the basket in their hands and walked quickly: "go, go back to dinner first."

Man Bao only bought vegetables. The rice was his own. Daji carried the rice out of the kitchen. Zhou sirang explained, "those vegetables were wasted, so I sent them."

Man Bao asked, "why don't you deliver dinner together?"

"... that's the only thing we can eat."

"We can cook again," said Bai Shanbao. "If we want to do good things, why not be perfect?"

On Thursday, Lang scratched his head and said, "I don't want to do good. Isn't that a waste of things? We don't eat vegetables, but we need food. "

Bai Erlang said, "you are picky."

Zhou Silang was not happy. "It's not called pulling. I don't like what you have to do. We don't have gold and silver mines at home. How can we cook food to send people? You gave it today. Will you give it tomorrow? "

Daji looked at them and said, "eat quickly. It's already past lunch time. Be careful to be hungry."

Man Bao asked, "fourth brother, why don't they go home?"

"Because there is no home," Lang said on Thursday, "who has a home that will run out? Saner, they have been wandering outside for more than two years. Most of them came out because of the flood three years ago. There are various reasons. I have nothing to ask. What are you doing so carefully? "

Man Bao frowned. "I remember there aren't so many beggars and people in Luojiang county. Why doesn't county magistrate Tang distribute land to refugees like county magistrate Yang?"

Bai Shanbao thought and said, "Yizhou is prosperous. Maybe he doesn't have so much land?"

"What about the original land of their family?" Man Bao said, "since they had a home before, it is obvious that their parents and even grandparents have land. Even if they fall outside, the land at home will always be there. The Yamen will provide some seeds and tools to the government, and will be exempted from taxes for a few more years, so it will naturally settle down. "

Man Bao said so because Yang Heshu settled the refugees in this way.

Soon after he took office that year, he began to arrange some robust refugees. When the autumn harvest found that the food price in Yizhou remained high, he began to arrange other refugees.

Break up the refugees left in the county and distribute them to various villages, or directly find a wasteland to settle them and let them form a village.

Lend them some grain, give them some seeds and farm tools, and make the decision to exempt them from taxes for the second year on the grounds of reclaiming wasteland.

For some barren or uncultivated wasteland, he will issue a service order and enlist the serviceman to help open up the wasteland.

In the past two years, not only the refugees stranded in Luojiang county have been arranged, but also the refugees from other counties have heard of the influx, and most of them have been arranged by Yang Heshu.

Therefore, the population of Luojiang county has increased very rapidly in the past two years. In addition to those born in the county, these new refugees have joined.

Population is one of the performance evaluation of a county magistrate. Among other things, Yang He Shuguang is very good.

Man Bao and Bai Shanbao also know that because of this, Yang Heshu was sued by two neighboring counties because of the suspicion of competing for population.

Yang Heshu mentioned to them that most of these refugees came from Yizhou. Otherwise, if their ancestors were in Luojiang County, he wouldn't have to take so much trouble and directly support them with some grain and seed farm tools.

Therefore, there is still a big difference between the resettlement of displaced persons who have lost their land and those who have not lost their land.
