Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The settlement fee in the lower villages starts at five taels for the cheapest and ranges from more than twenty taels in better villages.

As for those who don't want to pay the settlement fee, it's almost a thousand miles away from Yongzhou City, which is extremely far away, so they don't need to pay any money.

Everyone was hesitant as they looked at the settlement fee which had increased by at least three times compared to usual.

Some people thought of going to the village to spend less money, as they would have to save it for building houses, buying land, and purchasing sundries later.

Some people think that since they have already moved, they might as well move to a better place. In case they encounter any force majeure natural disasters or man-made disasters in the future, at least they will have more protection than others.

After thinking for a while, Lin Xiaoyue pointed to a place called Wanbao Town. "This is it. It's not too far from Yongzhou City, but relatively close to the military stockade. The settlement fee is thirty-five taels. There are soldiers patrolling on weekdays, so the public security is definitely good. It's convenient to live here and go into the town. The town is also big, so it's convenient to buy basically anything. You won't have to worry about sales when you do some small business in the future."

There are stationed military camps in Yongzhou City, and patrolling soldiers can often be seen. The public security is absolutely top-notch. At least it is many times safer than the small village in a remote corner where they used to live.

If you want to know how she knows it, just listen. Aren't people around here talking about it? It doesn't hurt to listen more.

Everyone was a little hesitant. Thirty-five taels per person, and a family with many people would need a large sum of money just for the settlement fee. After settling down, they would also have to buy a house, land, and other food, clothing, and daily necessities.

Besides, you should always keep some money on you. You can't spend it all at once. If something happens later, you will be left with nothing.

However, when Captain Wu heard that they had chosen Wanbao Town, he kept persuading them that the place was safe and had convenient transportation.

The key point is that when he goes out on patrol with his soldiers in the future, he will not go around the house too close.

Seeing that everyone was still hesitant, Lin Xiaoyue knew that they were afraid that the money would be spent and it would be troublesome if something happened in the future.

After thinking about it, she suggested that everyone choose a safer place to settle down, so that they would have better security. If they were short of money, their family could lend some to everyone first.

After settling down, everyone can start a small business of steamed buns and mixed stews together. There are many people in the town, so there is no problem selling the products. Even if they cannot be sold in the town, Wanbao Town is not far from Yongzhou City, so they can also be sold to the city.

Moreover, with animals pulling the cart back and forth, you can also pick up a few people going the same way and earn some pocket money.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they heard this. They had eaten steamed buns and stewed meat before. The Lin family was willing to share their "secret recipe" with everyone to teach them how to do business. They had to be so generous to have such a close relationship.

Moreover, both foods were not expensive and could be afforded by ordinary people, so they would not have to worry about not being able to sell them. Even if they could only make small profits but quick turnover, they could quickly save money and not have to worry about having an empty pocket.

Miao looked at Lin Xiaoyue. She really wanted to live closer to everyone so that she could take care of them in the future. But the recipes of the two dishes came from the "gods". She was afraid that her daughter would make the recipes public and make the "gods" unhappy.

Didn’t you see that last time the immortal was unhappy and ignored his daughter for a long time? Although the daughter said that the reason was not her, how can I explain it? (If you have forgotten, you can go back to chapter 221)

Lin Xiaoyue received Miao's worried signal and shook her head to indicate that she was fine. She did this just to repay everyone for their protection of her.

Now that they had a livelihood, everyone felt more at ease. They stood in a row, suppressing their smiles, waiting for the officials in charge of record to make records for them, pay their money, and receive their badges, and then they could enter the city.

The official in charge of recording also wanted to make friends with them because Captain Wu had given him the upper hand. Although they were just trivial favors that were just going through the motions, it was a convenient thing to do to establish a good relationship and add icing on the cake. Who wouldn't be happy to do it?

Therefore, with the help of two officials guarding the city, the Lin family went through the whole process. Even holding the household registration certificates seemed unreal. The process was so smooth that it made people envious and jealous.

The other two officials in charge of registration, who were grinning from ear to ear, saw how all the formalities were completed quickly and how they received the registration cards, and their eyes twitched.

I thought to myself, these people are really lucky. They look like ordinary peasants, quite shabby, but each of them can settle down in the county town. I wonder what their background is.

The registration officer: ...

It cannot be said. It cannot be said.

After everything was done, Captain Wu asked them whether they should get porridge outside the city and wait for the officials arranged by the government to take them to different places the next day, or go into the city to find an inn to rest for the night and then gather outside the city tomorrow.

Everyone was puzzled, so Captain Wu gave a special explanation.

In order to guide the refugees, after confirming that they are not infected with the epidemic, liaison personnel will take the refugees in batches to the counties, towns and villages under its jurisdiction every few days.

Everyone was overjoyed. It turned out to be the provincial capital, and the arrangements were very detailed.

Lin Xiaoyue was also surprised. The government even arranged a "tour guide" for them. Was this service a retro version of "Meituan"? This batch of officials is really impressive.

Everyone had enough food, so there was no need to compete with the refugees who really needed it. After confirming with each other, they decided to go to the provincial capital to rest for a day and then gather and set off early tomorrow morning.

Captain Wu nodded, and specially called the soldier who was in charge of guiding them, and took the Lin family into the city to find an inn to rest. He himself had to go back to report the situation to his superiors.

Everyone bowed deeply to Captain Wu to express their gratitude. Lin Xiaoyue was also not vague. She took out a 500ml bottle of Erguotou from the space, put it into the small empty jars used to store wine in the village, and gave it to Captain Wu as a thank-you gift.

The alcohol content of strong liquor these days is only around 50 to degrees. Erguotou with a content of over degrees must be able to bring a very different sense of stimulation to men who love wine.

Captain Wu helped them open the back door because of Jin Ling. He never thought that the other party would give him a gift in return. This was a pleasant surprise.

Although the wine jars were sealed with red paper and the smell could not be smelled, what was rare was that these people knew etiquette and were not blindly thinking about taking advantage. This made people feel comfortable both physically and mentally when they interacted with each other in the future.

After Captain Wu arranged for people to take care of them, he left in advance for some other reasons. Everyone followed the leading soldier, leading their own livestock and preparing to enter the city.

"Please, please stay. Please stay."

The one who shouted at them was the old doctor who had just taken their pulse in the shed. The old doctor originally wanted to wait and see that the ferocious-looking official had left, and then he would go forward to ask the doctor in the group for advice. However, he didn't expect that he would wait and wait, and in the end he had to watch the doctor almost enter the city gate.
