Chapter 2516 Small population
Just after hearing about the tent, many people retreated, and some people over the age of 30 were reluctant to go, even though Murong Lingran said that they can give priority to buying high-yield grain seeds in the future.
The winter in Saiyuan Mansion is not as cold as usual. Living in the academy, even if sleeping with people, there are charcoal basins in the house every day, and they have to be woken up every day, let alone living in tents. There are not many people who sign up for each disaster relief site.
Some are afraid of the cold and die, some have to take care of the sick or elders at home, and some are worried about young children. Few of them go to work with the whole family.
Basically, there is no need for Murong Lingran to say that those who come are the strongest men in the family, only they are not afraid of the cold.
It was just that Murong Lingran saw that some family members did not come out to sign up. This was not what she wanted to see. In that case, these people would still be a burden on the court in the future, so she told them what might happen next year.
For example, people who go to work in her home will be able to build a new house when the snow melts next year, and those who don’t go will have no wages, and they will have to watch others build houses next year.
In the future, when someone else builds a new house, they can marry a beautiful daughter-in-law, but those who don’t work don’t even have a house, and certainly don’t have a daughter-in-law. .
Also, in the future, other people's children can study, and even go to the capital to get the champion, while the children of people who don't work will be illiterate all their lives, so they will only be coolies.
Even in the future, other people's families can eat meat every day, and their family only has to watch.
Others will be able to grow high-yield grain in the future, and one planting can be worth the previous three or four years. Only they can only grow ordinary grain, and they will still be hungry every year.
Don't even think that the court can help them for a lifetime. When most people's lives are settled and the weather warms up, the court will no longer arrange their lives, and they will be driven out of the place where they live now. The inn is to do business normally, and the imperial court is embarrassed to occupy it all the time, affecting the livelihood of others.
Those people seemed to understand that they could not support them for the rest of their lives when they came to the imperial court. If people in the same village built new houses and lived a good life, they would have no fixed place to live and live on the streets. They would definitely not be able to bear it.
Therefore, even if some people are afraid of suffering, they have to go because of the persecution of their families. At least one person goes to every household.
Some people heard that they could marry a new wife and live in a beautiful new house in the future, and even four or five members of the family signed up at the same time.
Some people who lost their relatives in the earthquake also saw the hope of life, and they all cheered up and went to sign up.
Other people in the city were also moved when they heard that there was such a high salary for farming outside the city, but one of Murong Lingran's acceptance requirements was to accept only the victims outside the city, so even if there were 80,000 people in Bailan City, In addition to the original city residents, only 5,000 disaster victims signed up.
Looking at the numbers in front of him, Murong couldn't help but sigh, "I didn't expect that the population of Bailan City and its surroundings would be so small. It's really incomparable to the capital."
Everywhere she went, she persuaded those people with all her might, thinking they could figure it out, but she didn't expect that there were only 5,000 people, a lot less than she had expected.
