Chapter 516 I want to kill the enemy
Then they were arranged to take baths and receive medical treatment.
By the time everything was done, it was already afternoon.
Lin Xiaofan thought for a while and finally took these people to Lijiazhuang. Compared with other villages, he knew everyone in Lijiazhuang and had good relationships with them, so it was the most appropriate place to start with.
Moreover, Lin Xiaofan's lime industry has not declined, but it has not been expanded and remains at its original scale. Most of the lime produced is also used to make refined salt.
The villagers in Lijiazhuang also earn a lot of money from this job. Nowadays, all the houses in Lijiazhuang have been built and built, and they are much larger than before, which is enough to accommodate these people.
Since they were carrying children and they were tired from being on the road for a long time, they walked very slowly. By the time we waited, the sun was already halfway down.
The afterglow fell on the earth, and a group of people came down the hillside in twos and threes. It was the people of Lijiazhuang who had been busy for a day.
It's winter now, and there is no farm work in the fields. They are all working in Lin Xiaofan's lime factory.
"Xiao Fan."
When the villagers in Lijiazhuang saw Lin Xiaofan returning, their faces looked a little happy. But when they saw the people behind Lin Xiaofan, they were filled with doubts.
If your guess is correct, these people are refugees who have no food to eat and are begging for food everywhere. In this era, people are no longer used to refugees.
Most of the people in Lijiazhuang had been refugees during the famine years.
However, there was a bumper harvest last year, and this year the court wiped out all taxes. Logically speaking, there should be no one in Qingzhou County who cannot afford to eat.
Could it be that he came from another county? That would be too far.
"They are from Dashang. They can't get enough food in Dashang, and our cadre is short of people, so we thought of accepting them all."
Lin Xiaofan saw everyone's confusion and explained.
Everyone suddenly realized.
It turned out that they were refugees from big merchants, and Lin Xiaofan wanted to let them live in Lijiazhuang and blend in.
Everyone in Lijiazhuang expressed sympathy for this situation. Many of them once had no food to eat and wandered around, finally settling in Lijiazhuang.
"I want to arrange for them to live in Lijiazhuang. But their houses haven't been built yet, so they have to live in the homes of fellow villagers first."
Lin Xiaofan said.
"Okay, I'll arrange this."
Li De thought about it and agreed. Lijiazhuang is not a small village, and the village can accommodate more than a hundred people.
This matter is not big, and it is Lin Xiaofan’s job, so the people in the village have no reason to refuse.
"Everyone, if any of you have an empty house at home, please make room for these new arrivals."
Li Zheng said.
"There happen to be two empty houses in our yard. If they are squeezed together, they can accommodate four people."
"We also have an empty house at home that can accommodate two people."
"My old house was vacant before. If you don't mind it, you can live there."
Everyone spoke one after another.
In the past, when everyone had no food to eat, if a large number of people suddenly came, they would definitely not accept them and would even beat them away.
But now that they are living a prosperous life, when they see these refugees, it is like seeing their former selves, and they feel very sympathetic. They are still willing to give up some empty houses.
If these refugees are willing to work, it wouldn't hurt to lend them some food.
Seeing the villagers talking one after another, Lin Xiaofan also had a smile on his face. It seemed that the housing problem was solved.
But what gives him a headache is that most of the people who come are children, who cannot work or farm, and the food produced may be much less.
Without taxes, although people would not starve to death, they would still not be able to fill their stomachs.
If the food is given directly, it may cause dissatisfaction.
"Thank you all, thank you Mr. Champion Hou."
The people of Dashang kept saluting, and some even almost knelt down.
They never worried that they would not have enough to eat because they never expected to have enough to eat.
As long as they have food to eat and don't starve to death, they are already grateful.
"You don't have to do this, it's just a breeze."
"Those houses are empty and you can live in them."
People from Lijiazhuang rushed to help him.
The more than 100 people were quickly divided among themselves. Sister-in-law Liu and Liu Xing and Liu Yue lived in Sister-in-law Li's home.
"Sister-in-law, my mother said that there is no food and no work on the mountain in winter, so why do you still go up the mountain?"
Liu Xing blinked his big eyes and asked.
Sister-in-law Li knelt down and touched Liu Xing's head, with a bit of affection in her eyes:
"Sister-in-law is not going to the mountains to find food, but to work in the mountains. Champion Hou has arranged work for us in the winter. As long as we work, we will get money and exchange it for food."
Hearing this, Liu Xing and Liu Yue's eyes lit up when they heard that there was food, and they asked:
"Then can we follow suit?"
"This... you are too young to work. You will be able to do it when you grow older."
Sister-in-law Li obviously didn't expect that the two little ones could be so sensible. Both of them are at a playful age, and they are usually not happy if they are asked to work.
Hearing this, disappointment flashed in the eyes of the two children, but Liu Xing did not give up. Instead, he looked at Lin Xiaofan:
"Sir, I'm not young anymore. I know how to farm, chop wood, boil water and cook. Can you let me follow you?"
"Liu Xing, don't mess around."
Sister-in-law Liu hurriedly took Liu Xing into her arms, turned around and saw that Lin Xiaofan was not angry, she breathed a sigh of relief and apologized:
"Sir, children are ignorant."
"No, I think this kid is quite sensible."
Lin Xiaofan smiled, walked forward, looked at Liu Xing and asked:
"What's your name?"
"Liu Xing."
Liu Xing spoke openly, not nervous at all.
"What do you most want to do in the future?"
Lin Xiaofan asked.
Hearing this, Liu Xing frowned. For him, it is extremely difficult to live in the present, and he never thinks about the future. If I talk about my dream, it is to be able to support my mother with my own hands.
"I want to join the army."
Liu Xing thought for a long time before speaking.
"why?"
Lin Xiaofan raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Because joining the army allows me to kill enemies on the battlefield and gain military merit. Military merit can be exchanged for money, and I can support my mother and younger sister."
Liu Xing clenched his fists with a serious look on his face.
The eldest brother from the neighbor's house went to the battlefield and made great achievements. The neighbor's yard was renovated to be large and beautiful. He still had thick cotton clothes to wear in winter, and he never had to worry about eating.
He was still young and could not make a good living farming, so he only knew how to earn military merit by going to the battlefield.
Lin Xiaofan knelt down and looked at Liu Xing's pure and firm eyes, falling in love with this little boy even more.
"I also have to work to relieve my mother's burden."
"I also have to work."
Among the crowd, many children were infected and shouted loudly.
Most of these families who are willing to move from Dashang do not have enough to eat or even survive.
Children from poor families take charge of the family early, and they become sensible early and are willing to help share the pressure of the family.
A pair of expectant eyes looked at Lin Xiaofan.
