The game starts with escaping from the famine and flipping the table

Cui Haoyu and the yamen runners did not enter Sujia Village, but stopped at the door and gently told the patriarch his decision.

"Thank you for your hard work, clan leader and other elders. I want to go and see the refugees first. Li Zhubu is here with the clerks from the Ministry of Revenue to verify the household registration of the refugees and help them settle down."

The county government has three classes and six departments, among which the household department is mainly responsible for managing land, household registration, population, taxes, finance, etc.

The arrangement of refugees happened to be the work of the Household Department, so the county magistrate directly brought all the clerks of the Household Department over.

"Okay, Mr. County Magistrate. Please follow me. The refugees will be temporarily accommodated in the cave on the left."

The clan leader immediately led the way, and the group walked towards the cave in the barren mountain on the left.

Hearing the gong from Sujia Village, all the refugees except the children ran out of the caves, holding firewood, hoes and sickles, and rushed to Sujia Village.

They had only run halfway when they saw county officials armed with swords guarding the carriage, and they immediately stopped.

I couldn't believe it at all. The village chief actually invited the yamen runners over.

For a moment, the refugees were stunned. Some of them kept rubbing their eyes, fearing that everything before their eyes was an illusion.

Can they really stay?

Seeing the refugees holding various weapons at the foot of the mountain, the yamen runners immediately drew their sabers and protected the county magistrate behind them. The head of the yamen runners shouted:

"What are you doing? What are you doing? Are you going to rebel? Why don't you pay your respects to the county magistrate?"

The village chief was also afraid that there would be a misunderstanding between the two parties, so he quickly came out to explain.

"Don't get me wrong, the county magistrate knows that you are planning to stay in Sujia Village, so he has come here to help you settle down. In a while, Li Zhubu will help you check your household registration. Everyone please cooperate."

Chu Yueheng immediately understood what the village chief meant and immediately followed up with an explanation:

"Thank you, magistrate, for loving the people like your own children! When we heard the gong sound, we were worried that the wild boars had come down the mountain to attack Sujia Village again, so we came to help. After all, it was Sujia Village that gave us a foothold, so we should be grateful. We didn't expect to offend you, it was really a misunderstanding!"

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows slightly. Chu Yueheng's speaking skills were quite good. He explained the cause and effect of the matter clearly in just a few words.

Even the wall of the Su family was built to prevent wild beasts from entering the village. The refugees picked up weapons when they heard the gong in order to repay their gratitude, which emphasized that the refugees were grateful.

He also gave himself a high hat of loving the people like his own children.

Not bad, he is a talented person.

It seems that Sujia Village is also full of talented people. Not only that, but they are also courageous and capable, and they took in so many refugees.

With so many refugees, the food consumed every day is not small.

However, this is fine.

It's better than allowing so many refugees to attack the town.

The most important thing is to know the real reason why these refugees are fleeing famine and whether it will have an impact on Yunshan County.

It is said that things are a bit unsettled in Prince Ning's fiefdom.

Cui Haoyu narrowed his eyes when he thought of this. Was the wall of Sujia Village really just for defense against wild beasts? Could it be that they also heard something?

"Sir, please come this way!"

Chu Yueheng saw Cui Haoyu's expression and invited him directly. These officials always think too much when encountering things.

"Well, I've never seen this cave before. It's a good opportunity to take a look at it."

"please!"

The group went straight to the cave.

The bottom row of cave dwellings is about two meters above the ground, and a staircase made of bluestone slabs extends diagonally from the side to a platform about two meters wide.

It is like every cave has a small courtyard at the entrance. The only difference is that there is no wall.

It is very convenient for every household to hang clothes, vegetables, etc.

Entering the cave, it was surprisingly spacious, with a brick bed next to the wall.

It should have been left behind when the cave was dug, and it feels a bit like a large dormitory bed in a military camp.

There was a big kang at the side of the room. From the roof hung a long wooden bar with a hook, on which hung a clay pot.

In the corner of the room stood two bags of whole grains, one of them containing buckwheat and the other containing potatoes.

There was a medium-sized window next to the door, covered with window paper and hung with thick curtains, which could both provide indoor lighting and keep the room warm.

In such a short time, more than a hundred refugees were properly resettled. There must be some experts in Sujia Village.

Cui Haoyu couldn't help but nod secretly, feeling that this trip was totally worth it.

perhaps……
