Chapter 92 Chen Zhicai Joins the Four Princes' Camp
Chapter 92 Chen Zhicai joins the Fourth Prince camp
The more Chen Zhicai thought about it, the happier he felt. The content on this notice was exactly what he told the man last night.
Since the noble man adopted his method, it means that he must have caught the noble man's attention.
He, Chen Zhicai, is about to turn around and has a bright future ahead of him.
Chen Zhicai read the contents of the notice in a high-pitched voice, almost breaking his voice.
The content on the notice is about the arrangements for these refugees outside the city.
First, the drought in King Changding's fief has been alleviated, and refugees from outside the city can return to King Changding's fief via the same route.
Everyone has traveled through mountains and rivers to finally reach this place, and naturally they don't want to leave at this time.
So the surrounding refugees began to urge Chen Zhicai to continue reading the next content.
Second, refugees outside the city can be resettled in the city for a fee of five taels of silver each.
Everyone's heart felt cold again. They had made it this far without much food left, let alone money.
Moreover, even if there are no disasters in ordinary days, it is considered good for a family to have five taels of silver. How can it be possible to afford the five taels of silver per person to enter the city.
Chen Zhicai then continued to read, "You can also voluntarily join the Fourth Prince's Army..."
"What? Join the army!"
The refugees who were watching started shouting, obviously very disgusted with this matter.
You should know that if someone in your family becomes a member of the military, the next generation must also join the army when they reach a certain age.
Chen Zhicai was a little unhappy when his voice was interrupted.
However, he continued to read: "The families of those who join the army can be accommodated. The above choices are all subject to the principle of voluntariness. Everyone can make their own choices. Do not linger outside the city gate for too long. Otherwise, you will be treated as voluntarily joining the military."
After reading, looking at the agitated refugees, Chen Zhicai added with a smile: "The Fourth Prince actually thinks about us people. We have no fixed place to live at the moment. The Fourth Prince is willing to take us useless people into the military and provide for our food and clothing."
Worry-free…”
Chen Zhicai praised the fourth prince so much that he had everything in heaven and earth, and he probably turned the undesirable thing of joining the military into a good thing that could not be achieved.
Everyone was a little shaken. Did they really misunderstand the fourth prince?
At one place on the city tower, a man dressed in noble clothes stood with his hands behind his hands, looking down.
A four-clawed dragon is outlined in gold thread on the man's robe.
And he is the owner of this fiefdom, the fourth prince who is currently the most favored by the current emperor.
The fourth prince looked down in the direction of Chen Zhicai, who was reading an announcement in the crowd.
He nodded with satisfaction and looked in Chen Zhicai's direction admiringly.
An old man standing behind him said: "If the prince likes that boy, bringing him in will help relieve the prince's great cause."
The old man is a more prestigious staff member in the fourth prince's house.
They rushed out of the city last night, and their conversation happened to be overheard by Chen Zhicai, who had woken up at night.
They originally wanted to kill Chen Zhicai, who unfortunately happened to be talking to them.
Perhaps it was his strong desire to survive that made Chen Zhicai's mind race. He thought of some ways to solve the fourth prince's current troubles and spoke out, wanting to take a gamble.
And the fact is, he made the right bet.
The appreciation in the eyes of the fourth prince and the old man did not seem to be fake, and he even posted his method today.
There are so many refugees gathered outside the city that it would cost a lot to resettle them all.
The emperor is now obsessed with Taoism and has no regard for government affairs. Naturally, he has not issued any order to resettle refugees so far.
The fourth prince wanted to get rid of these refugees but did not want his reputation to be tarnished, so he had a headache over this matter.
At the same time, he had another headache.
The imperial court is becoming increasingly chaotic, and the emperor may pass away every day, so he must have enough chips in his hands.
King An was still unwilling to take his side, so he could only find ways to increase the number of troops in his hands.
So Chen Zhicai came up with this method that could not only dispatch refugees but also enrich the army.
The Fourth Prince hummed slightly, turned around and left and said, "Let's find an opportunity to bring him and his family in."
Downstairs, after Chen Zhicai read all the contents on the notice, he got out of the crowd and left.
And everyone in Jiangjiacun also left with him.
After he left, the people in Jiangjia Village surrounded him and asked about the contents of the notice.
"You're a talented person. If you join the military, it's a lowly status. It's not a good place to be."
Chen Zhicai smiled and began to use the power of his sharp tongue again to deceive!
For those of you who are chasing after you slowly, the time has entered December.
Because it was the first month that the Jiang family and their family had just arrived, their life was very busy.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang Fugui have already followed the ancient village chief to the county to get the title deed for the house they bought.
The ancient village chief also helped by asking if anyone in the village wanted to sell their land, and coincidentally, one of the families who wanted to sell their land was the same family they were renting from now.
The owner of the house that the Jiang family is renting now has a surname of Gu, and his full name is Gu Quan.
Their family opened a noodle shop in the town, and the business was pretty good. However, the Gu family did not have many people, with only a couple and their children living in the town.
Business in the town is booming, so naturally there is no time to take care of the fields and land in the village.
They originally wanted to sell the land, but unfortunately they could not find a buyer.
It happened that day when village head Gu took several members of the Jiang family and Wang family to the county to apply for land deeds and was passing through the town on their way back, he remembered that he wanted to tell Gu Quan about renting a house.
The Jiang family spent a lot of money, and the ancient village chief had a good impression of them. He was willing to say a few words to them if he saw anything they didn't know.
On the way there, the ancient village chief briefly explained the situation of the Gu family.
One of the two parties wanted to sell the land, and the other wanted to buy the land. After meeting, they naturally hit it off.
The Gu family has ten acres of paddy fields, and it would cost sixty taels of silver to buy them all.
Of the ten acres of land, the Jiang family wants seven acres, and the Wang family wants three acres.
The brothers have settled their accounts clearly, and since they have settled in the village, naturally they will pay for the land in their own way.
Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang directly handed over the money to buy the land to Gu Quan.
Several people went to the county again and settled the matter of transferring the land.
And during the transfer, they also got some news.
These days, other refugees have come here one after another, but they have been arranged to go to other places.
The government also posted notices to inform these newly arrived refugees.
You can open up wasteland in the place where you settle down, and the land obtained from wasteland development can be freely used by the developer.
Moreover, no taxes will be charged on newly reclaimed land for five years. However, the people who can reclaim the land can only be the refugees this time, but not the original residents.
However, there is a time limit for this. After next autumn, we will no longer be able to open up wasteland at will.
Upon hearing the news, Mr. Jiang and Mr. Wang were both overjoyed.
We had just settled the paddy field issue and was thinking about where to buy another two acres of dry land. When I felt sleepy, I gave him a pillow.
Even if those wastelands are opened, the harvest will not be good in the first two years, but it is better than nothing.
Once the land deeds and land were settled, the big stone in everyone's mind fell away, and everyone devoted themselves wholeheartedly to building a house.
After Jiang Zhiyue went to town that day, she put her thoughts into practice.
She dug out several martial arts novels and fantasy novels from the corners of the space.
The biggest entertainment activity for the Jiang family before going to bed every night is to listen to Jiang Zhiyue telling stories.
While she was talking, she asked the literate elder man in the family to write notes on paper. Now they have a thick pile.
Jiang Zhiyue is thinking about how to find a suitable opportunity to deal with these manuscripts.
Ever since the Jiang family and their group arrived at Longxian Village, except for the Japanese monkey incident, even some quarrels were usually harmless, and everything else went smoothly.
After they settled in the village, they plowed a small piece of land next to the house, bought some seasonal vegetables from other families in the village, and planted them.
On the fifth day of December, the Wang family's new house was completed.
Huang Huaihua stood outside the yard looking at the brand new blue brick house, her mouth was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
She clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Oh my, I can live in a house like this in my life. It's really worth it."
She grabbed Wang Hao next to her, pulled him in and walked in.
Others also followed in. The space in the yard was large enough, and even if everyone stood in, there would still be room.
Although everyone has been here many times, this completely built house is different from the one being built.
Huang Huaihua pointed to one of the rooms and said: "Haoer, when you move in, you will live in this room. This room is bright and spacious. When my mother arranges a marriage for you next year, my heart will be complete."
."
When Wang Hao heard his mother's words, he subconsciously looked in Jiang Zhiyue's direction.
Jiang Zhiyue put her hand on the wall and pushed it gently, but she didn't pay attention to the conversation between Huang Huaihua and Wang Hao.
Wang Hao withdrew his eyes and said with some disinterest: "Mother, there is no rush in this matter."
Upon hearing this, Huang Huaihua's Tathagata Palm directly landed on Wang Hao's back.
She just thought that Wang Hao had a short face and was embarrassed to talk about it in front of everyone.
She smiled and scolded: "Why don't you rush? You will be eighteen in another year."
"Mom will find someone for you first. If you find someone suitable, we will propose marriage."
When he thought about getting married and having children, Wang Hao subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that his mother would talk endlessly about it, so he simply kept his mouth shut.
He likes women like cousin Zhiyue, who are confident and bright.
But I don’t know about my cousin...
Wang Hao shook off the thoughts in his mind, thinking that even if his mother introduced the woman, all he had to do was not let go and agree.
Huang Sophora japonica next to her continued talking enthusiastically.
"We are new here and are not familiar with it, but I asked the aunts in your village to pay attention. If there is anyone suitable, let us know."
She said it was not enough, so she pulled Zhang and Sun together and said, "Dalang and Erlang are not young anymore. If there is a suitable one, they have to be settled. Children as old as them will crawl on the ground."
Zhang and Sun were obviously very interested in this issue, and the three of them gathered around and chatted.
