Chapter 155 Placement
At the entrance of summer, dense ships were moored on the shore. The people took their homes to 6 places. They looked at them uneasyly. Many soldiers lined up into human walls, revealing only a few gaps. Rows of bamboo fences formed passages behind the gaps and meandered towards the city.???
An official who was familiar with Guanzhong dialect stood at a high place and shouted loudly with a cardboard tube, calling the people forward.
These officials are also from Guanzhong. As the people moved to Shannan, they were organized to maintain order along the way. Now they continue to play their roles and use Guanzhong dialect to tell the people what to do.
First, line up and move forward, one team of one family, and one team of one bachelors, and the food rations that dare to jump into the line were reduced by half on the day.
Second, register household registration, including the family’s name, hometown, original residence, family relationship, etc. If any concealment is done, the person who reports is at his own risk, the person who reports is rewarded.
Third, after entering the city, each family has a house to live in, bedding, men, women, young and old have a set of new clothes, each family has five hu of rice, and two meals a day for the first month are the government responsible for!
The first two items are nothing, but after the last item is finished, the people are disturbed. They think that after coming to this unfamiliar Xiakou, the whole family will suffer endlessly, but they did not expect that this was the arrangement.
No matter how I thought about it, with so many soldiers staring at me, no one dared to act rashly. The people honestly lined up with their homes and registered their household registration information from officials who also spoke Guanzhong.
After the registration was completed, someone led him to continue walking. After entering the city, they were taken to the new neighborhood, where rows of newly built wooden houses were waiting for empty spaces.
Qiao Guyu supported the trembling old mother, and was tightly held by someone with her left hand. When she looked down, she was her wife holding her. She was thin and held the young child with unbelievable eyes. The family came to Jiangnan thousands of miles away. She thought she would be left as a slave, but she unexpectedly could have her own house to live in.
Along the way, Qiao Guyu was frightened and worried that his wife would be dragged out by Zhou soldiers to "play" and was worried that she would be short of food and clothing. The old mother and son could not resist it. As a result, she arrived here safely and had a place to stay.
"Qiao Guyu isn't it?"
An official walked up to him and asked. Qiao Guyu quickly nodded and said yes. He was wondering if the other party wanted to collect some "intentions", but he saw a few beds of bedding removed from the caravan next to him.
"Qiao Guyu, a family of four, three large and one small, four beds..."
The official started to read loudly, and the group of people around him began to be busy. They pressed the heads of the people to prepare the bedding, clothes, simple furniture and other things, and pushed them to carry them on a wheelbarrow.
Four bamboo plaques with ropes were put into Qiao Guyu's family and hung them on his wrist as the officials asked. There was a dog engraved on the bamboo plaque. When he was confused, the officials led them forward along the street, and several young and strong men followed closely behind with wheelbarrows.
There are rows of neat bungalows on both sides of the street. At first glance, there are more than ten rows on each side. Qiao Guyu followed closely and didn't dare to look around. He didn't know how long he had walked, but the officials stopped.
"Qiao Guyu, look at the right side. Is there a dog painted on the outermost wall of this row of houses?"
The family looked at the wall on the right, and there was indeed a big dog on it. The wall was snow-white. The big black dog looked extremely eye-catching. If it were at night, it could be distinguished.
It must be clear.
Looking to the side, there was a cow on the outermost wall of another row of houses, while there were horses, pigs, cats, chickens, ducks, geese and other livestock and poultry on the outer wall of other rows of houses.
"Qiao Guyu, your family's house is in Dog No. 2, remember."
Before Qiao Guyu could come back to his senses, the official greeted the young man and pushed the cart into the passage in front of the room, and stopped in front of the second house.
At the same time, the door of the first room in the row of houses opened, and a middle-aged man walked out with a bunch of keys. Qiao Guyu looked inside through the door, and there was a woman feeding her baby in her arms.
It seems that the middle-aged family lives here as well.
Qiao Guyu withdrew his gaze, but saw the middle-aged man talking to the official. After a while, the official introduced to Qiao Guyu that the surname was Zhong and the "sanctuary" of this row of houses.
"If you have any future, just tell Chief Zhong that his family lives here to take care of you to settle down. If you don't remember where to live after you go out on weekdays, just look at the bamboo card in your hand, or the three words "Chief Zhong" are reported in the small courtyard at the intersection of the street. People there will lead you here."
Qiao Guyu nodded quickly and said yes. After a few greetings with Zhong Shechang, he opened the door of his "home" with the key and walked in.
The house is made of wooden, with three rooms inside and outside, and there is a small courtyard behind it. Of course, the courtyard wall is a bamboo fence, and there is already a simple couch and straw mat in the room. There are two bamboo poles and racks in the yard, and a hemp rope is connected between them, which is used to dry clothes.
Qiao Guyu put the bedding, clothes and other items he had divided into, and followed the clerk to get wooden basins, wooden barrels, bamboo baskets, bowls, chopsticks, brooms and other daily necessities. Finally, he personally moved a few bags of brown rice into the house, and then he felt completely relieved.
"Alang, this...is this rice?"
"It should be that the child has never seen him before. The government said so, and I think that's it."
The old mother reached out and took out a handful of shelled rice from the rice bag and looked carefully. People from Guanzhong who have eaten millet and wheat for generations have been seeing rice in Jiangnan for the first time, but they didn't know how to express their feelings.
The wife looked at her clothes carefully, with a surprised expression: "This fabric is good, it can't be torn by hand, but the size is not suitable, so it needs to be changed."
"If you can change it, the chief Zhong said that the needle and thread and scissors will be used every day, and we can change it ourselves."
"How much will that cost?"
"The needle and thread are not expensive, and you will have to pay it back after you run out of scissors." Speaking of this, Qiao Guyu did not forget to add the most important news: "The government said that from today on time, people will deliver both meals to the intersection on time every day, and everyone is queuing up to get porridge and come back to eat."
"Can you eat porridge be full? How many bowls can a person have?"
"Adults have two bowls, and children have one bowl. That's what Chief Zhong said." After Qiao Guyu said that, he picked up a bowl he had just received, "Hey, it's so big, it's enough to eat."
"Will that be as thin as water?"
Qiao Guyu looked at the bags of brown rice and shook her head: "The government has all the food, so it's not here..."
His mother had some knowledge and asked a key question: "Just just now, the government said that we should take care of two meals in the first month, so how can we live in the future?"
This question is very critical. How can they support their family without an inch of land? What should they do if they spend a whole month after they are gone?
Qiao Guyu knew that this was related to the family's future life, so he said what Zhong She said: "Mother, the government said that he would stay for a few days first. After he recovered, the government would know about farm tools and tools."
