Chapter 11 Accepting Refugees

Li Kui was quick-witted and grabbed the horse's legs with his hand, overturned it to the ground, and pressed his neck as soon as he went up. The horse couldn't even struggle.

"Okay, Iron cow, don't hurt it. Keep it well in the future. If you get familiar with it, you won't kick you."

"Okay brother, I'll just teach it a lesson."

Chao Gai owns a dark horse, but he was raised for small things, with extraordinary horse power. Wu Yong chose a white horse, Liu Tang found a red horse, and Xiao Qi chose three brown horses.

"Dazhuang, it's your turn."

Chao Zhuang rubbed his hands excitedly: "Master, do you have my horse?"

"Nonsense, I'm riding a horse and you can keep up?"

Dazhuang's selection was dazzling and he pulled a red horse.

Then, each of the twenty guards chose one. The maintenance cost of the horse is actually quite high. You have to eat a few kilograms of grain every day. Ordinary farmers are reluctant to raise anything they say.

Everyone held their own horses, and they were so precious.

Let’s start with feeding horses and raising horses. Chen Niu teaches them to everyone and listen carefully.

Feeding grass and water, getting up and down the saddle, and how to ride, are all knowledge.

Although Li Kui is careless, he knows how to learn it very seriously.

Chao Gai brought the butler Chao Fu and Wu Yong to the threshing farm, where his own tenants built fish ponds.

I can only be regarded as a little local tyrant, with a good land of about 3,000 mu and a small land of about 5,000 mu. There are more than 200 farmers in total, most of whom are refugees, and they rely on Chao Gai to settle down here. Their dependence on Chao Gai far exceeds that of the farmers in the village.

"Everyone comes here to rest for a while, the owner of the manor has something to say." Da Zhuang went over and called the tenants over.

Everyone gathered around to see what Chao Gai was going to say.

Chao Gai pointed to the twenty donkeys behind him: "Did you see? I said at the beginning of my work that I won't lose money to everyone. Who would like to raise the twenty donkeys I just bought today? No need to spend a penny, and you can use it if you pull a cart and a farmland to do your work. Twenty kilograms of salt are sold every year, and there are stallions and male donkeys in the farm. You don't have to worry about anything. After raising the animals until you reach one year old, you will hand over them. One is rewarded with a permanent reward."

Everyone understood that this donkey belongs to the owner and is raised for you. After giving birth to a small donkey, he handed over a reward of one.

This is a great thing. People who do not farm cannot understand the importance of large animals. It is not just a matter of farming and pulling a cart.

It is also an important fertilizer factory, mixed with dead branches and leaves to ferment and form manure, which is a necessary thing for farming, because there are no fertilizers these days.

"Boss, I want it, I want it."

"I want it, I want it."

Everyone shouted that they wanted a donkey.

Chao Fu glared: "Shut up any of the shouts. If you want a big animal, you must be diligent and capable of buying forage. You cannot overuse it. You can stand up if you want, and go back to work if you don't want."

There were animals at home, and several families who didn't want to raise all went back to dig fish ponds, and the number 150 was standing here.

It’s not good to see whoever you give it to, but it depends on God’s will and draw lots.

Chao Fu wrote a contract, and the agreement was very clear. The ownership of the animal belonged to Chao Gai and was kept by the tenants. The tenants must cherish it and report it immediately if they are sick.

Twenty tenants who received donkeys were so happy that they were happier than marrying their wives. They all secretly scolded themselves for being unlucky.

Chao Gai said: "Everyone works hard, this is the first batch of livestock. In the future, there will be scalpers and donkeys. But there is one thing that is cheating and sensible, and you will never give it to me."

"Don't worry, the owner of the house, we will work hard."

Everyone went to work. Chao Gai saw that the fish pond was faster than expected. The bottom of the pond had been leveled and the dug soil formed a cofferdam around it.

There were dozens of idle men not far away, staring at them, and Chao Gai asked, "Da Na, what are these refugees doing?"

"Didn't the owner of the manor give some sesame cakes to these refugees yesterday? They wanted to come over to work, but I didn't agree without tools. They should be waiting for the owner of the manor to give alms."

"Oh, I got it."

Wu Yong pulled Chao Gai to the side: "I think most of these refugees are strong, weak and sickly, and have already died on the road of wandering. Although it is a burden in the short term, if they can be organized, it will be a great force."

"What Jialiang said makes sense, then show his compassion and allow them to build cellars, work on the construction site every day, take care of two meals, and those with children also take care of their meals. You will be responsible."

"Yes, my brother called Tie Niu to be my deputy."

Wu Yong is smart and needs skills to do good deeds.

Although these refugees are poor, they do not mean they are all good people.

Those who are not following the rules, those who are cheating, those who are stealing, or even those who are murdering and setting fires must be eliminated and the good ones must be left behind.

Li Kui is the most vicious person who is born in the world. With Li Kui here, all these monsters and monsters have to hide away.

"Okay, let Tieniu help you with management.

The cattle farm in Chaojiazhuang is located on a wasteland in the east of the village, two or three hundred meters away from the village, and there are three thousand acres of wasteland here.

Wu Yongfu Fengshui chose a high slope and planned a cellar with hundreds of households. This is a simple temporary house, half underground and half above the ground, which can block the wind and rain.

The population results are very good, most of them are young couples carrying young children.

Wu Yongding's system is to go to the cattle farm regardless of men and women, regardless of their ability to work, and the children will play next to them.

After all, they are all refugees and their awareness is not that high. When working, every ten people sent a village head to lead him. If anyone is cheating, they will talk. If they don’t listen, they will be driven away.

The grain in the granary was full of insects, and Chao Gai was generous, and he had two meals a day to keep his fill.

My wife and children let you have dinner, and many refugees were crying with gratitude.

"Thank you for your kindness in life by the owner Chao, and thank you for your kindness in taking in the great favor of Mr. Wu."

In a few days, Chao Gai took in a total of 120 households, a total of more than 400 people. Among them, there were more than 300 adults who could work. These days, women were not bound by their feet and were very good at working.

In the evening, Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Liu Tang, Li Kui and others set up a bonfire next to the cellar in the refugee area and stewed a few pots of pork soup for everyone to try.

The children sang and danced happily, while the adults were smiling happily.

Hundreds of people surrounded the bonfire, and Chao Gai spoke passionately: "Don't worry, after the cattle farm is built, I will arrange new work for you, either work or farm. In short, as long as you are willing to stay and join Chaojiazhuang, you will be able to eat and wear a lot. Everyone will not let me down Chao Gai, and I will not let you down."

At this moment, Ruan Xiaoqi and Dazhuang arrived in a carriage.

Chao Gai went over and lifted the tarpaulin. The carriage was full of old coarse cloth, and he bought it from the county town.
