All Hail Cousin Brother

Chapter 918: Internment Camp

Yin Huaixi raised his hand to stop them and asked them to stand up: "Everyone has heard about what happened in Xiangping City. Princess Shaoyi joined forces with the Xie Mansion to lead the Bai Mansion to follow Yi's direction and donated a large amount of money to the internment camp. This move inspired other gentry in Liaodong area to donate generously to the refugee camps."

The victims were so excited that they shouted again: "Princess Shaoyi, a thousand years old!"

During this period, the food distributed in the shelter camp was decreasing day by day. The victims were only given one meal of food a day. It turned out that each person could eat at least 70% of the food in one meal. After enduring this day, it was almost over. At least it was still possible. There are live heads.

But now the food in the meal is all clear soup with little water, so I don't have to force myself to fill my stomach, which won't last for an hour.

The victims also know that the local gentry in the north control most of the resources but are unwilling to donate to the victims. The only food in the shelter camp was donated by Princess Shaoyi and the Xie Mansion, but with the power of one or two people, It is also limited and cannot control the mouths of the millions of people in the internment camps.

The victims complained loudly, and the atmosphere of urgency and anxiety spread silently. Every day, many people fell into anxiety and madness and fought with others because their eyes were so hungry.

King Wu Mu stepped up patrols, but was still unable to control the spread of the situation.

Every day, people lie in a pool of blood and are dragged away by patrolling soldiers. Immediately afterwards, someone comes with a bucket to clean the blood on the ground to prevent the spread of germs.

Those who participated in fights would also be captured by the soldiers and never come back.

Those with less serious crimes will be sent to the mountains to do hard labor.

In serious cases, they will be executed on the spot.

Officials in the government were verifying the household registration status of the victims in the camps every day, selecting those who were in good health, raising their families, and having innocent backgrounds, and stepped up the resettlement of the victims.

And tried his best to comfort the victims:

"Don't be afraid, King Wu Mu has already informed the court, and the court will collect grain from wealthy families in nearby Hebei, Jingzhao, Jin County and other places..."

"Don't worry, Princess Shaoyi and the Xie Mansion are also trying to find ways to raise food. Everyone has heard that the Xie Mansion donated most of their wealth, and they want to inspire other gentry to donate supplies..."

"Everyone please be patient for a moment. King Wu Mu has already arrived. Arrangements for the resettlement of the victims are being stepped up. The places where the victims will be resettled are more or less occupied by Princess Shaoyi, Xie's Mansion, Prince Wu Mu's Mansion, and other officers and soldiers of the You Army. When you arrive at the resettlement site, you can ask them for help based on your household registration, and they will help you settle down in the north..."

"We have gone through a lot of hardships along the way and escaped to Longcheng. We are about to live a stable life, so we can't give up easily!"

"The victims who have been resettled have all raised silkworms and planted sweet potatoes in the resettlement sites. Some have even been assigned to work on Princess Shaoyi and the village of Xie Mansion. They are living a good life. If you continue to persevere, , it will be your turn soon..."

"..."

The victims relied on the comfort and encouragement of the soldiers on guard and the government officials responsible for resettling the victims, and they gritted their teeth and endured.

Unexpectedly, they finally got food and hope came to them.

For a time, the victims were filled with tears.

Yin Huaixi smiled and stopped them again: "The materials in front of you are all materials provided by the gentry of Liaodong to support the resettlement of refugees. It is precisely because of these materials that our refugee resettlement has been launched. You, this group The victims waiting in the open space have been screened in advance to confirm the next batch of resettlement victims, and they will form a long queue from now on, waiting to receive resettlement materials."

When they heard that they would be resettled soon, many victims were moved to tears on the spot.

But there are also some victims who are terrified.

"Where are we going to be put?"

"We all came here to escape famine. We have no money and no land. How will we live in the future?"

"How much resettlement materials can I receive? What should I do in the future?"

"..."

Yin Huaixi listened to the victims' chatter and was not in a hurry to answer. The refugees had been trapped in the shelter camp for so long and needed to vent their emotions.

After a full quarter of an hour, Yin Huaixi said: "The provisions for resettlement materials are five kilograms of grain per person, five taels of salt, some medicine to prevent and avoid diseases, and a foot of cloth..."

The victims gradually calmed down, thinking carefully in their minds, and gradually felt more at ease. When they arrived at the resettlement place, they temporarily built a straw shed, and the family could live a peaceful life for a few months by saving.

"Within three months, you can go to the Yamen to receive a certain amount of food subsidies every month based on your household registration. The specific amount of food depends on the specific distribution by the government. The government's food comes from the court's relief and donations from the gentry. The amount will vary by a penny. Land will be distributed to all disaster victims, including you."

The victims felt much more relaxed. Regardless of how much food subsidies they received, at least King Wu Mu and the government did not throw them to the resettlement site and did not care whether they lived or died. The temperature in Liaodong was rising, and the government would subsidize some food. They could also dig in the mountains. When it comes to wild vegetables, at least I won’t starve to death.

Everything that needs to be explained has been clearly explained.

The victims spontaneously began to line up in seven lines, with relatives and friends standing together. Because King Wu Mu was present, the Youjun were watching eagerly. The victims were all honest, and no one dared to jump in the queue and cause trouble.

Then, several petty officials in official uniforms began to further verify the household registrations of the victims.

"Name?"

"Little people and big spring."

"age?"

"Thirty-six years old."

"Who else is at home?"

"The villain's wife..."

"Origin?"

"Baoan Town, Taize County, Hebei Province..."

"Can you read?"

"illiterate."

"What skills are you proficient in?"

"The technique of raising tussahs was taught in the internment camp. "

"..."

After asking, the clerk used green paint to draw a leaf on Ma Dachun's household registration, pointed to the green flag not far away and said: "Go and wait where there is a green flag."

Ma Dachun saw five big flags placed not far away, including green, yellow, blue, red, black, etc., and couldn't help but ask: "Aren't our victims grouped together?"

The clerk nodded: "Naturally, those who know how to raise silkworms will be placed in places with dense forests and mountains where silkworm farms are opened. When you get there, you can use your household registration to go to the nearby silkworm farm under the name of Princess Shaoyi. You will receive a certain amount of silkworm eggs for free to raise silkworms, 70% of the harvested silkworm cocoons will belong to Princess Shaoyi, and 30% will belong to you. When the time comes, you will sign a contract, and it is up to you to agree or disagree."

Ma Dachun couldn't help but be stunned.

The clerk quickly explained: "Don't think that Princess Shaoyi received too much. You must know that Princess Shaoyi bought the silkworm farm at a high price. You are raising silkworms in her silkworm farm. There is something wrong with the silkworms." , and the silkworm farmers in the silkworm farm can help with it, how can there be such a good thing in the world?!"
