Through the troubled times and famine, I just want to farm peacefully

Thinking of Yunying's marriage, which had been full of twists and turns and had finally come to this point, Yunmu didn't say anything else.

The second batch of refugees from Shigong City numbered nearly four thousand people.

After the bumpy journey south, only young and middle-aged people were left, and there were 500 people who registered and joined the army.

Lin Yiheng and his team were very familiar with the first reception experience. They first registered the people, issued new household registrations, and then assigned villages.

Most of the people who can come to Longtan are those who are unwilling to surrender and sell themselves into slavery. They will not easily compromise with fate, nor will they bow to life.

No matter what conditions Longtan offers, their primary consideration is the freedom of the whole family and the tax-free policy for the first two years.

After settling the second batch of refugees, Lin Yinan received a letter from Yun Zhenchuan from Nanzhou Prefecture.

The general content of the letter was that a team of more than 10,000 people from Nanzhou Prefecture would arrive in Longtan soon, and they were asked to be prepared to receive them.

As for the origins of the refugees, they were all instigated and persuaded by Yu Xunmei, the eldest daughter of the Yu family.

Lin Yinan remembered Yu Xunmei in his heart again. Although she had sent so many people to him, her vindictive nature was indeed not pleasing.

Despite this, Lin Yinan still called a meeting with Yun Ye, Lin Yiheng, Pan Qingfeng and others so that everyone would be aware of the situation and would not panic.

"Anan, the villagers asked when the new house will be completed and when we can move in. How will the money be divided?" Lin Yiheng asked.

Lin Yinan originally wanted to wait for Yun Mo and Yun Er to come back, but given the situation over there, it seems that he can't wait for them.

"Make some number plates, and let everyone draw lots to decide when they are ready."

"If they are not satisfied with the house they drew, can they exchange it privately?" Lin Yuanzhi asked.

He had heard his mother mention the women in the village more than once, and say such things in front of her intentionally or unintentionally.

Lin Yinan thought for a moment and said, "If both parties agree, there will be no problem, but it can only be exchanged once. Once the houses are divided, the deeds will be issued."

"Brother Aheng, when will the number plates for the lottery be available?" asked a young man who was newly promoted in the village.

Lin Yiheng looked at Lin Fu beside him, and he was responsible for this matter.

Lin Fu received the look from his young master and cleared his throat, saying, "We have the materials. If we want to make it, it will be done quickly. We can get it done in one afternoon."

"Afu, then I'll leave it to you." Lin Yuanzhi looked at Lin Fu.

The weather was too hot and the dormitory was too stuffy, and they couldn't wait to move into the new house.

The rice planted in the first season in the fields has matured. Lin Shuo asked his sister, "Anan, when will the rice be harvested?"

Food is a big issue and of course it should be put first.

Lin Yinan said without thinking, "Since it can be harvested, let's start harvesting tomorrow."

The crowd discussed some daily matters that needed to be dealt with and it took a long time before they dispersed.

After the meeting, Lin Yuanzhi, Lin Tiezhuang and the young men in the village took an hour to help Lin Fu make the lottery number plates.

Before dinner, Lin Yuanzhi came to report to Lin Yinan that the lottery number plates had been made, and asked her if they could conduct the lottery for the new house during dinner when everyone was present.

It is the busy farming season now. Lin Yinan thought that after harvesting the rice, he would have to plow the soil and plant rice seedlings. It would probably take two or three months before he could have some free time. The smoking at this time could give everyone a shot in the arm.

"Call everyone and gather after dinner."

The cafeteria was packed with people, and everyone was looking expectantly at Lin Yinan who was standing on the makeshift podium.

There were even more people outside the cafeteria. Although the houses in the second and third phases had not been built yet, they were also looking inside excitedly.

Lin Yinan took out the speakers he had stored in the space in advance and turned the volume to maximum.

"After going through untold hardships, from today on, we will completely take root in Longtan County. I won't say any more nonsense. Now the chief of Linjia Village will preside over the lottery ceremony."

The clan leader took the horn from Lin Yinan with trembling hands, coughed lightly, and was immediately startled by the loud noise coming from the horn, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Seeing that he was about to speak, everyone inside and outside the cafeteria suddenly quieted down.

The clan leader said excitedly, "As the city lord's relatives, we followed her all the way from the north to the south. So far, all the decisions made by the city lord have been very wise and correct. From now on, our Linjia Village will definitely follow all the instructions of the city lord..."

The patriarch's impassioned speech brought the entire lottery activity to a climax.

Except for Lin Yinan's mother's family and the Yun family, everyone else sent family representatives to draw lots.

Everyone was very satisfied with the houses they drew, and only a few wanted to change houses.

Once you win a house, you can just buy some furniture during the slack season and move in.

As for the houses of the secret guards, the Yun brothers and Lin Yinan specially built them not far from the hillside in a place with a good orientation. They moved in half a month earlier than the villagers, and the houses were fully furnished.

For these secret guards who have risked their lives at risk, Lin Yinan must give them the highest treatment to justify their presence.

The more than 1,000 acres of rice behind the county government office have reached maturity and are being harvested. The plump grains of rice are shining in the sun, expressing the joy of the harvest.

The big guys were harvesting rice in the high temperature of 30 or 40 degrees, and they didn't feel tired at all.

After harvesting an acre of rice field, Ding Gui and Chen San were frightened when they saw several sacks with tightly tied pockets.

"Chen San, I think this will weigh at least 200 kilograms after drying." Ding Gui's dark face was full of joy.

"there must be."

It was the first time for the two to see such a productive rice field.

"The city lord is really a magical woman. There is no failure if you use the method she says." Ding Gui exclaimed.

Chen San's bronzed brows gradually relaxed, his eyes sparkled, and he became more determined to follow Lin Yinan until death.

As the two were talking, the others became agitated, and some even dropped their sickles and knelt in the field to worship the sky.

"Thank God for your blessing!"

In contrast to the joy of the harvest in Longtan, the Yu family study in Nanzhou Prefecture was experiencing a violent storm.

"Bang!" An exquisite blue and white porcelain teacup fell to the ground and shattered into pieces in an instant.

Looking at the broken teacup beside him, Yu Xunmei, who was kneeling on the ground, shrank back, lowered his head, his eyes gloomy and flashing with hatred.

"Tens of thousands of refugees were let go without blinking an eye. How could you think before doing anything?"

The head of the Yu family was filled with anger. Those who had been able to flee all the way south to here were all young and strong. If they were all recruited, their strength would not be underestimated.

"Keeping these refugees here will only waste food. What's the point?" Yu Xunmei said stubbornly.

Hearing this, Yu's father was so angry that he trembled all over and pointed his finger at her, "Look at your brother, he is only one year older than you, but he is so much better than you in words and deeds!"

"Amei! You are not a child anymore, you should be sensible! You should think more about your brother when doing things."

"You have brought my brother with you since he was young and taught him. You ignored me and said that I was a girl and would get married sooner or later when I grow up. My brother would do it. Did you ever teach me anything? Now you accuse me of being ignorant. I am ignorant, but did you teach me?"

Yu Xunmei felt so aggrieved that tears welled up in her eyes and refused to fall.
