Chapter 45 Arriving at the Destination
When Xu Muzhen was packing her things, she realized who had made the cry for mercy last night!
Qi Bin was beaten up by Li Zhener's brothers yesterday.
The reason is that yesterday he dared to bring shame on his sister, causing Li Zhener to make a big embarrassment!
When I got up this morning and set off on my way, I was still bruised and swollen. I heard that if Li Zhen'er hadn't begged for mercy at the end, he might have been beaten to death.
Xu Muqian was unconvinced about this result!
During the last three days of the journey, Qi Bin still limped behind Li Zhen'er.
Obviously he treats her as his wife.
More than a little bit better than his previous wife!
Nowadays, Xu Maqian has no intention of caring about other people's affairs. They have already arrived in Liaoning Wei.
At this moment, she was worried about what she would do in the future.
When they were exiled here, they did not need to be sent to the army. They only had to change their household registration and become civilians here.
Xu Maqian felt that it was very similar to the 'going to the mountains and countryside' that she had heard about before!
They were exiled, and all of them changed from nobles to civilians, and went to the sparsely populated frontiers to open up wasteland and farm land!
At that time, each household will dedicate one person to reclaim wasteland and grow food. The food obtained from this collective land reclamation and farming will belong to the entire Liaoning Health Center.
Half of this food is turned over to the national treasury, and the remaining half is divided into two parts. One part is used to feed the officers, soldiers and generals stationed here, and the other half is used as reserve food and relief food for new residents!
Now, more than fifty of them are standing in a square, waiting for the heads of ten households to come here to select people to add to their team to replenish the households.
There is a general stationed here who manages the entire Liaoning Guard.
Liaoning Province is divided into four major regions: east, west, north and south. Each region has a chief of a thousand households who manages thousands of households.
Next, it is divided into ten heads of hundreds of households, and below the heads of one hundred households, it is further divided into ten heads of households who manage ten households.
The head of the ten households is only responsible for the ten households under his name. When the exiled prisoners come here, they will be added to the ten households team that lacks residents.
When each family first came here, they would be given a house, land, and a year's worth of food relief!
The expatriate leader in front was handing over to the chief of 100 households in the Eastern District who accepted the deported people this time.
They need to clearly communicate how many people there are and how many household registrations they are divided into.
The head of the ten households then looks at the situation in his team and selects candidates to supplement.
Now the three brothers in the second room of the Gu family have lost their parents and elders, so this time they all split their household registrations and became three households.
Xu Muqian's family consisted of two children, one older and one younger, and Gu Huaijin looked young, tall and powerful! He was quickly selected and became a member of the eighth team under the head of a hundred households in the East District.
Gu Huairui and Gu Huaizhang's family from the second room were assigned to Team 10.
The Gu Huaiyu family and the Lin family's mother and daughter were assigned to the seventh team.
Their houses here are arranged in rows of ten households and one hundred households in one unit!
Therefore, even if several members of the Gu family are not assigned to the name of the tenth household head, they still live not far away from each other.
At the end, Xu Maqian discovered that brother Wang Yuqing standing next to her had not been chosen.
The two of them can be considered a household, but the problem is that both of them are children under the age of fifteen.
Even if you can't work to open up wasteland, you can't go to the land to farm!
Therefore, the heads of the ten households who came to select people subconsciously ignored him, and several people argued and gave in.
Looking at the lovely Wang Mingqing and the cold and reserved Wang Yuqing, Xu Maqian felt that she should help them.
Apart from anything else, they have developed a relationship in the past three months together. Brother Ming also calls her mother of three months, and she doesn't want to see these two children being kicked around like footballs!
Xu Maqian whispered a few words in Gu Huaijin's ear, then took out five taels of silver from her arms and handed it to him.
Gu Huaijin also felt that his wife had done the right thing. He nodded, took the silver, put it into his arms, and walked towards the ten household heads of the eighth team standing aside.
The two chatted quietly for a while, and Gu Huaijin quietly stuffed the chair into the arms of the tenth household leader, then pointed at the Wang Yuqing brothers, thanked them again, and returned.
Gu Huaijin stood next to Xu Muzhen and nodded quietly to her, indicating that the matter was done!
Now, Xu Maqian felt a little more relieved.
The eldest son of ten households in the eighth team is named Yu, and everyone in the eighth team is respectfully called Yu Shihu.
The remaining ten households felt the silver in their arms and knew how much it was.
Five taels of silver is not too much but not too little.
As the head of ten households, he only received two bushels of food per month than the average householder.
With these five taels of silver, their family can still buy food even if they don't work in the past two years.
More importantly, he heard that the head of a hundred households was about to be promoted. If he wanted to become a head of a hundred households, he would also need money.
He looked at the Wang brothers. Although the older one was not yet a boy, he would be almost able to work in two years. It would not be impossible to be included in the eighth team!
Yu Shihu looked at the heads of the ten households who were still refusing, and said generously: "Okay, everyone, please stop refusing. I will recruit these two brothers into the eighth team."
"Oh! Lao Yu, why are you so generous today? I usually ask you to take in an old, weak, sick and disabled person, but you can run faster than anyone else!"
"That's it, Lao Yu, tell me, what's the matter with you?"
Yu Shihu looked at the few people who were also heads of the tenth household and said nonchalantly, "It's rare for me to be kind enough to help you out but I don't know what to do. Forget it, you can go make the noise yourselves! Anyway, there are people in my team.
There are almost enough households.”
"Don't, don't! Lao Yu! Just give it to you! I can't include the old and the weak in my team, otherwise the team's task of clearing up wasteland and farming will not be completed."
"Hey, it's better for Lao Yu to solve the problem for us."
"That's right, Lao Yu, when I have time later, I'll treat you to a drink!"
"Thank you, Lao Yu. It's getting late now. Let's quickly allocate the land and take them to arrange accommodation!"
"Thank you Lao Yu! We must go back soon!"
The heads of the ten households said quickly when they heard that he didn't want to take over.
They all wanted to complete the remaining procedures quickly so that they could take the residents in their team back.
This was also because he was afraid that Yu Shihu would really regret it and leave the two children in his own team.
As for why Yu Shihu could choose whether to have the Wang brothers or not, it was because his brother was a follower of Qian Hu in the East District.
More protection than others!
Chapter completed!
