The whole family traveled through ancient times to start a new business

The village head held a torch in his hand, looked at the people standing at the door of his house, and said directly: "There are not so many empty houses in the village. There are only two empty rooms. You can let your elderly and children live there! I think you have been used to staying in the wild after rushing all the way here. As for the rest of you, I will have someone take you to the homesteads allocated to you in a while, and you can stay there for one night!"

Su An Dong was not dissatisfied with what the head of the village said. Xenophobia was a normal phenomenon. He had never held any hope for the attitude of the village, so he thought it was good enough to have two rooms for the elderly and children to sleep in.

He thought so and didn't say anything. Su Andong and his group just watched Su Andong act, so no one said anything. But the silence of these eight families didn't mean that the other four families didn't speak up.

A man from one of the families, whose surname was Zhang, came out and said, "Village head, the village is so big, there must be more than two empty houses. I want to rent a house, how much is it per night?" The words were quite polite.

Another family echoed, "My family also wants to rent a house. I think there will always be a house for rent!" There is a hidden meaning in this statement. If there is no house for free, there will always be one if you pay for it!

The village head was not unhappy about what they said. Instead, he said, "There are houses for rent. One room costs 200 coins per night."

This price is actually quite high, but not outrageously high.

The two families heard this, and before they could say anything, they heard the head of the village continue: "Our room can accommodate seven or eight people, and it's no problem to squeeze in ten people."

When the two families heard this, they swallowed their words about the expensive house and asked, "Why can so many people stay there?"

The village head replied, "The kang is big, so naturally it can accommodate more people. I can have someone take you to see the house. If you think it's suitable, you can rent it. If not, forget it."

Just as Su Anton expected, there was such a thing as a kang in the north.

The head of the village took those who wanted to rent a house to look at the houses. Those who did not want to rent a house, like Su Antong, were taken to their resting places by other villagers.

Just as the village head said, they were taken to an open space, which was said to be the homestead for each family in the future.

There was a house not far from the open space. The two rooms on the left and right of the house were the houses that Zhou Lizheng mentioned for them to stay temporarily.

This house is an abandoned house in the village. It is very dilapidated and it is obvious that no one has lived in it for a long time.

The man took them to the place, talked to them briefly and left.

In addition to Su Andong's group of eight families, there were two other families. After discussion, they let the children and the elderly live in these two rooms. They let the half-grown children sleep on the floor of the house. The rest of the people stayed outside.

People like Mrs. Su are old, but not that old. There are really limited people who can live in the house, so she gave the room to older people.

Even Su Yuanyuan, who was 10 years old, didn't have to sleep on the floor in the house. It was mainly because Su Yuanyuan didn't want to, otherwise her age would have been just right.

Originally, Su An Dong and his group asked Mrs. Su and Su Yuan Yuan to sleep in the house. Su An Dong's mother and children should be treated this way. However, the two refused. They wanted to sleep with their own people rather than sleeping with others.

After everyone settled down, they started to cook. They ate dry food when they were hungry and never had anything hot.

Now that we're here, we can finally stop being so shy and make something hot to eat.

Although there was still no delicious food, at least I could eat something hot.

After the group finished their meal, they went to rest.

Early the next morning, Su Anton found the village head.

When the village head saw Su Andong, he was quite polite to him. This was because he had learned from the officers and soldiers that Su Andong was a scholar. It was always better to be polite to scholars.

After some politeness, Su An Dong asked, "Village head, I wonder what the rules are for us refugees? How much wasteland will be allocated to us?"

The head of the village did not hide anything, but chose to tell the truth. The main reason was that such things could not be concealed and the information could be known by asking in the county.

The head of the village replied, "Each of your households will be given 10 mu of wasteland, which will be tax-free for the first three years. If you need seeds, you can go to the county government to get them. You need to return them to the county at the end of the year, % more than what you received. The same goes for grain. The government can lend grain to refugees, with a maximum of kilograms per adult and kilograms per child. Similarly, you need to return % more grain to the government at the end of the year."

After saying this, the head of the village looked at Su Andong and continued, "If you don't pay it back by the end of the year, the government will take back your household registration and turn it into a military household."

Su Anton thought to himself: I knew it wouldn’t be that easy.

"Thank you for the information from the village head." Su An Dong continued to ask: "What about the residential land in the village?"

The village head replied bluntly: "Of course, we won't give you the homestead for free. We will charge you two taels of silver for one mu of land. This price is already a consideration for you. It depends on how big a place you need."

Su Anton felt that the charges were normal and the price was not expensive.

One mu of land is equal to sixty square feet, which is about 666.667 square meters. It sounds very large, but because the homestead is not only for building a house, but also for leaving enough open space for the front and back yards, animal sheds, etc. Su An Dong thought about it and had an idea of ​​how much homestead he should buy.

Su An Dong said directly: "Li Zheng, my family wants to buy two acres of residential land."

When the village head heard this, he was a little surprised. He was surprised that Su Anton actually wanted to buy such a large residential plot.

The reason why Su An Dong bought such a large residential land was that his family had many people, and his fourth brother and the boys in the family would all get married in the future. It would be better to buy the residential land together so that the house can be built slowly. This is better than buying less and buying a house that is not adjacent to the original residential land in the future.

Su An Dong saw the surprise of the village head and explained, "We have a large family, mostly boys, so we will probably have to build a house when we get married in the future. Let's buy the homestead first, and then we can build the house slowly."

The village head understood what he meant when he heard it. This way, the land for the homestead would be large enough for building a house in the future.

Su An Dong continued, "I wonder when the village head will be able to measure the homestead for my family? We also have wasteland. Please ask the village head to allocate it as soon as possible so that we can open up the wasteland earlier. Now that the spring plowing season has passed, I'm afraid we can only plant potatoes and sweet potatoes. No matter what we plant, the sooner the better."
