Chapter 129: Caught in bed(2/2)
After listening to Yun Ni's words, Tang Ningning looked back a few times. Sure enough, some people were so thirsty that they couldn't move their legs.
"It's really hot today." After a pause, Tang Ningning looked at Hao Jie and said, "Master Hao, can you give these thirsty people a few sips of the water in the water bags of your officers and soldiers?"
The officers and soldiers were all wearing swords, and even if they had water bags, no one dared to ask for a drink.
After hearing Tang Ningning's request, Hao Jie turned around and glanced at the refugees. Indeed, they would have fainted on the road if they were not allowed to drink water.
He waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers understood instantly and passed the water bag down.
"Shopkeeper Tang, I remember there is a wasteland ahead."
He thought that this woman was capable of bringing them to this large piece of wasteland.
Tang Ningning naturally understood the look in Hao Jie's eyes, and she only said, "When we get there, I will explain it to Master."
This place was something she accidentally saw on a cliff when she was looking for the sea. There were 300 people and nearly 60 households, and there was no problem with food, drink, housing or transportation.
And this place is suitable for them to live.
This place used to be a farm, but there was a drought and it became a wasteland. Later, many people died. When the government saw that the matter was getting serious, they compensated the remaining people with silver coins and moved them to the town.
Later, basically no one lived here anymore, and the land was all under the jurisdiction of the government. This was what Mozhi County had told her.
At that time, she felt that this place was suitable for these refugees to live.
"Shopkeeper Tang, are you planning to settle these refugees here?" Hao Jie looked at the barren land, stamped his feet, and snorted.
Tang Ningning entered the village, looked at Hao Jie and said, "It's close to the Huaihe River. It's very convenient to open canals to divert water. The court has regulations that you don't have to pay taxes for three years to reclaim wasteland. This just makes it convenient for these refugees. Isn't it good to live here?"
"
These refugees had all left their hometowns and came here. After hearing Tang Ningning's words, they felt comforted in their hearts. They no longer wanted to escape. They would settle down as soon as possible and settle down as soon as possible and live a good life.
"But there are a total of sixty-seven refugees. Most of the houses here are abandoned. They have to be rebuilt or renovated, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. It is extremely difficult to reclaim wasteland. If someone starves to death, who will take care of it?"
?" Hao Jie said righteously.
Tang Ningning had already thought about these things.
"Master Hao is right, but if the refugees are scattered and resettled in various villages, will they be willing? And isn't this the only deserted village that can accommodate so many people?"

"Yes, we don't want to spread out--"
"Sir, we all come from the same village. Our ancestors have lived together for generations. If it weren't for the war, the houses were destroyed, and we were displaced, we wouldn't have fled here. This girl is right. We would rather live here together.
, build houses, reclaim wasteland--"
The refugees' voices were so loud that Hao Jie's face turned green.
At this time, an older man stood up, and Tang Ningning recognized him. He was the old man she had chatted with before, named Ye Zu.
Most of these people were from Yejia Village. They had been exiled all the way here. When they heard that the government was going to resettle them, they stayed and waited for the government to resettle them.
"My lords, we in Yejia Village have been farming for generations for generations. There are also a lot of wastelands outside the customs. We have grown food. Just let us stay here."
"Yeah, yeah, let's stay here."
This land is owned by the government. As long as the government agrees, these refugees can be registered as households. Generally, after farming for a long time, the land will be owned by the people.
Hao Jie frowned, 'Shopkeeper, you have to think clearly, it is not that easy to reclaim wasteland? It is very likely that there will be no harvest for the whole year.'
If a natural disaster strikes, these people won't even be able to afford food, not to mention paying taxes.
"Why don't you worry? There are many people on my farm who are good at farming. I sent some to help. If you need cattle, hoes, etc., our martial arts school can help."
