The number of households with more than two people is one hundred and ten, and there are thirty-six singles. Of course, they weren't singles before, and basically their mothers-in-law died on the way to escape the famine.

As for property, these refugees are poor and white, they don't have a single cow, and basically all that is left is their ragged clothes and a dog-beating stick in their hands.

Seeing this number, Dong Ce was also relieved, basically more than eighty percent of the displaced people were elected.

Now there are fifty or sixty displaced people left on the other side of the Gan River, only a very small part, and even among these fifty or sixty people, most of them are young men and women. It's just that they have older people in their families - in the Ming Dynasty, people over the age of forty could basically call themselves old husbands - and children under the age of ten. was dragged down by the old and weak, so he was not chosen.

Dong Ce saw that two young men were kneeling on the ground, and standing in front of them was a trembling old man, holding a cane in his hand, and scolded them angrily. The voice floated far across the Gan River, Dong Ce listened, and it was probably the old man who told the two men to leave themselves alone and hurry across the river to survive. The two men just lowered their heads and were trained, but they didn't say a word.

The old man scolded and scolded, tears were rolling down, and the two men also knelt on the ground and kowtowed while crying, and finally the father and son hugged their heads and cried.

This scene fell into his eyes, which made Dong Ce's eyes shrink, and his heart was like a pinprick, and it hurt a little (one) (book) reading (novel) ybdu.

At this time, Zhou Bo and the others used two ox carts in the rock fort to escort those fat jackets and quilts, these things are not old and young in the warehouse, Dong Ce took advantage of this time to be in the early autumn when the price of cotton has not risen in the surrounding villages and towns, and the price is not expensive. It was originally intended to be worn by soldiers recruited in winter, but I didn't expect to use it in advance.

When he saw that almost all the people who had been chosen had already eaten and drunk, he gave Wang Tong a look. Wang Tong understood, strode to the side of the ox cart, took out a brand new dress from it, and said loudly: "See?" This is the grace of the adults, reward you with clothes, now everyone, all go down to the river to bathe, wash clean, especially the lice in the hair, must be washed! Otherwise, if you put on new clothes, you will be covered with lice all over your body in two days. Even yourselves, you don't want to be tossed by that lice every day, do you? ”

When the people heard that there was a new change of clothes, they were very happy, but when they heard that they were going to go down to the river to bathe, they were a little troubled. The men were just that, and the women and the women's husbands were angry in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces, but they didn't dare to speak there.

I even thought in my heart that if I really forced men and women to wash together, then I could only admit it.

However, Zhai Qingtong quickly resolved this embarrassment, she was wearing a wide cotton armor, but she did not wear a helmet, her long hair was tied in a ponytail, and she jumped and jumped. Recently, her long hair has rarely fallen down, and it is all tied into a ponytail.

She came here and said loudly, "All women, come with me and wash over there." ”

Seeing that it was a female general, these men and women were immediately relieved.

The people were divided into two groups, and the men washed around here, and no one cared anyway. The woman was taken by Zhai Qingtong about a mile upstream of here, where there was a small turn in the Gan River, forming a river bay, and there were woods in the middle of it, and this side was not visible at all.

Wang Tong and the others stared on the shore, seeing if they were washed or not, especially the hair, Ming Ji is men's hair can basically reach the waist a little higher. Long hair, combined with poor hygiene, makes hair a breeding ground for lice and other parasites. Some of those who came up without washing directly let Wang Tong kick them down and ordered them to wash again. It wasn't until everyone was rubbed red and their hair was clean that they were allowed to go ashore, dried and distributed to their clothes.

Wearing brand-new warm clothes, the people's hearts were full of hope, and they were infinitely grateful to Dong Ce.

"Wang Tong, you take them to settle down first, just like the people who came before, build a shack to settle down today, and then give them a meal later, and they will be raised today, what is the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow." Dong Ce commanded.

"Yes!" Wang Tong answered, and led the people along the Gan River in the direction of the upper reaches of the river.

They will settle in the east of the Rock Fort, not far from the Gan River, where there is also uncultivated land, and the land south of the Rock Fort, near the Huanshui River, has basically been distributed to the people who came early. Dong Ce consciously separated them so as not to have any disputes.

And they'll be here for a long time, until the Rock Fort is ready.

In this way, roughly two settlements were formed. One is in the south and the other is in the east, both of which are close to the river, and the geographical location is not bad.

Dong Ce turned over and came to the people on the east bank of the Gan River.

These people are almost desperate, but they all hold on to the slim chance of leaving, so they are reluctant to leave. Seeing Dong Ce coming over at this time, a glimmer of hope surged in their hearts, and they rushed to kneel in front of Dong Ce's horse, crying: "Master, please take us in, we will repay the kindness of the master by being cattle and horses!" ”

"You don't have to be a cow or a horse." Dong Ce pondered for a long time, then sighed and said, "This official is also pitiful when he looks at you, if he drives you away like this, I am afraid that he will not be able to walk three or five miles, and one by one he will starve to death on the side of the road." The so-called heaven has the virtue of a good life, and this official is convenient for you to have a way to live, and it depends on you whether you are willing to go or not. ”

There was a burst of ecstasy in the hearts of those homeless people, but they didn't expect that there would be a day when the peaks and turns around, and they all shouted excitedly: "Master, we are willing, we are willing." ”

"Don't be so good at agreeing just yet." Dong Ce said: "The manpower of the public middle school here is not needed by you, but there are still fewer tenant slaves in the official's family." If you wish, the ruler will take you into the house as domestic slaves. However, you must be enslaved, and from now on, you will be my Dong family's slaves and maids for generations. The land was given to you, and the oxen were given to you, but not for it, but for rent, and of course the interest on the rent was the same as the tax they had to pay. and with these people, they also give you food and feed you. Think for yourself. ”

Dong Ce originally thought that they would be a little resistant to becoming a slave, but the truth surprised him again.

After hearing this, these people almost didn't hesitate, knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed, and said: "The villain is willing to enter the adult's mansion as a slave, thank you for living with me." ”

Some of the more clever ones have changed their names to the master of the house.

Their cheerful attitude surprised Dong Ce a little.

But he didn't know that for these people, it was really a very lucky thing to be able to be a slave in a big family in a disaster year. Often outside the gates of some big cities, there are many homeless people, and large families often go out at this time to choose some beautiful little girls or strong men to become their own slaves. There is no need to give money at all, just say a word to take care of the meal, and everyone will rush to make up.

It was because they heard that Dong Ce wanted them to enter the mansion as slaves, and they did not hesitate at all. And many people are still very happy in their hearts, Gaine Dong Ce is quite generous today, with such a master, the future should not be sad.

Dong Ce shook his head, still a little unable to understand people's thinking at this time, but it was a good thing that it was so smooth.

"Okay, since you all agree, then we will count the names and surnames later, make a list, and sign the paperwork this evening."

Dong Ce suddenly said: "Who are the family members of those who took the lead in making trouble and were shot to death by this official?" ”

It was immediately quiet, everyone looked at the ground, and they didn't dare to look at Dong Ce, but no one spoke.

Dong Ce's face immediately turned cold, and he sneered: "Drink, look at this, you don't have this chance to survive, no matter what, since you are so righteous and don't even pay attention to the words of the head of the family, then you don't need to enter the mansion." ”

He turned around and ordered, "Shi Jin, let them all get out!" Don't get in the way of your eyes. ”

As soon as they heard this, these homeless people immediately panicked, and many people shouted: "Master of the family, we say, we say." ”

When he said this, he moved to both sides one after another, revealing a few people.

Dong Ce saw that there were about four or five people, two women, and the rest were children. It seems that the one who made trouble before should be the leader of the homeless people, and he also has a considerable position in this group, and he can still support his wife and children.

There was no hatred or resentment in their eyes when they looked at Dong Ce, but they were full of fear.

The light in Dong Ce's eyes changed, and he finally waved his hand: "It's not difficult for you, let's go, let's go for your own life!" ”

As if they had been pardoned, they quickly kowtowed and helped each other to leave. They had the protection of their own men before, they ate more, their bodies were not too weak, and they should be able to go farther. It's just that there are fewer men after that, and it's really unpredictable what will happen to you. may be favored by a large family and become a maid for the male owner to vent his desires, which is a very good destination.

Shi Jin hit the horse from behind and said with a smile: "My lord, I'll send them off." ”

As he spoke, he hit the horse forward, Dong Ce stretched out his arm, wanting to stop him, but after all, he sighed and retracted his hand.

Then, Bai Zhongqi registered them on the spot.

Compared with the previous ones, they had some intention of dragging their families immediately, a total of twelve households, but the number of mouths was sixty-seven. On average, there are nearly six people in each household, and there are only so many people who can survive until now, so it can be said that when they fled, it can be said that the entire family has poured out of the nest.
