Chapter 1078: Chapter 901, Lost

Ganzhou City Gate.

Once winter arrives, refugees gradually gather outside the city gates, perhaps having heard about the porridge distribution that occurred here last year. Even people from Jiuning Guard, the farthest from the Ganzhou Guard, came.

With the reclamation of the Dan River, and the nourishment of the water sources, there is more arable land in Ganzhou Guard that needs to be worked.

Thus, for the refugees, the Ganzhou Guard not only did not drive them away but also allocated a batch of supplies for their settlement.

"Sir, didn’t they say that the Ganzhou Guard is accepting refugees? Why don’t I see any?" Wang Qi and several members of the Wang Family braved the wind and snow, struggling towards the city gate.

Wang Qi stopped and looked around.

At the city gate of Ganzhou City, there were no crowds of refugees gathered. Only a few refugees huddled in front of a straw shelter by the gate, appearing to be registering for something.

"Let’s go over and ask."

The Wang Family members approached the gate, tugging at a middle-aged man who had just emerged from the straw shelter, and asked, "Old brother, what are you registering for?"

The middle-aged man glanced at Wang Qi and the others, then enthusiastically explained, "We’re registering household records. We refugees, as long as we get a household registration in the Ganzhou Guard, will be settled."

Wang Qi’s eyes flickered, "Old brother, how will the Ganzhou Guard settle refugees?"

The middle-aged man said, "An official spoke earlier, stating that all refugees who settle in the Ganzhou Guard will be able to clear land after the spring. The fields cleared will belong to the individual, and the Guard will provide high-yield grain seeds."

Wang Qi continued, "Are there many people registering for households?"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, a lot. Those who registered have all been led away."

Wang Qi pressed on, "Led to where?"

The middle-aged man explained, "Some were taken to build roads, others to construct terraced fields. Not only do they provide food and drink, but there’s also a wage to be earned."

"You brothers, since you’ve just arrived, hurry into the straw shelter to get a bowl of warming medicinal soup to fend off the cold. I need to discuss with my family whether to work on road construction or terrace building."

Wang Qi smiled his thanks and watched the middle-aged man leave before he and the Wang Family members entered the straw shelter.

The shelter was big, with several large pots on the left, three of which contained a thick medicinal broth. On the right were several tables and chairs, serving as a temporary office space.

As soon as Wang Qi and his group entered, someone directed them to get the medicinal soup.

"Sir, this place is really good, they even have free medicine to drink. If only my mother were here with me."

Little boy Wang Lifu held the steaming medicinal soup with a joyous smile on his face.

Luckily, he had come along to Ganzhou City, hearing that his master was coming. Otherwise, he would have missed out on this free medicinal soup.

Seeing him, Wang Qi felt somewhat touched but still smiled and said, "This is a medicinal soup to ward off the cold; drinking it will prevent illness. Drink it quickly."

Life in the mountains is inconvenient, and there’s not much land to cultivate. The clan can’t always stay in the mountains. This visit to Ganzhou City was to personally check the situation in the Ganzhou Guard, to see if it was suitable for clan members to relocate.

Furthermore, he wanted to see for himself this Xiao Yeyang, who silently reclaimed the Dan River.

Wang Qi sipped the medicinal soup and nodded to himself; the quality of the herbs was high, showing that the Ganzhou Guard wasn’t just putting on a show, but genuinely desired to keep the refugees.

After finishing the soup, Wang Qi didn’t lead his family members to register but turned around and came out of the straw shelter.

There were also refugees who didn’t wish to settle in the Ganzhou Guard. The officials in the shelter saw but didn’t insist they stay.

Wang Qi led his people to the city gate.

Refugees were not allowed into the city, but if they were coming to join relatives or friends, and those relatives or friends came forward, they could be let in.

After waiting half an hour, Wang Qi and his group saw someone running towards them, out of breath.

As soon as Zhang Da reached the gate, he bowed and apologized, "Sir, please forgive me, I arrived late."

It was fine for the other members of the Wang Clan; they were adults and quietly followed behind the two. _{fɾēewebnσveℓ.com}
