Chapter 379 Everyone, please return home quickly
Chapter 379 Everyone, please return home quickly
Years ago, Liu Feiyun came to Anya City with only a few hundred light cavalry, but this time, he brought a mighty force of tens of thousands of people.
These tens of thousands of people were not a large army, but civilians who had previously fled to Anping County.
During the war years ago, the population of Anping County exploded to four or five hundred thousand people.
After the war, with the recovery of Anyag County, the relocation of refugees began.
However, the relocation of refugees did not go smoothly.
Last year, the Anya County was first in turmoil, and then the Jinzhou Army invaded. It can be said that the war continued and there was no peace. That is why Anping County became a paradise.
Even though the rebel army and the people of Jinzhou invaded Anping County three times, they were quickly suppressed by the Liu family. During this period, the people did not suffer much harm, including the refugees who fled in later.
There is no harm without comparison. As a result, many refugees believe that Anping is the only safe haven in troubled times and are unwilling to leave.
In addition, there is another important reason. The corrupt officials and local tyrants in the county government have exploited the people too harshly. They are afraid that they will return to the miserable days they had before.
In Anping County, these refugees at least don't have to worry about going hungry or being bullied by corrupt officials and local tyrants. As long as they are willing to work, they can support their families. Even if they can't work due to injuries or illnesses, they don't have to worry about starving to death.
And after returning, God knows what will become of it.
Therefore, after nearly a month of relocation work for refugees, less than 10% of them made the journey back home.
However, after the Earl's Mansion of Siguo and the Earl's Mansion of Le'an posted notices in the refugee camps and sent a large number of people to explain and interpret the notices, the refugees quickly made a 180-degree turn and began to embark on the journey back home, fearing that they would be left behind.
Most refugees could not recognize the words on these notices, but they could understand the words of the interpreters next to them:
"The old Earl has ordered that an elite army will be sent to the key points on the border of Anya County to garrison and prevent the invasion of bandits and armies from other counties. There will be no more worries about war in Anya County!"
"Our An Ya County's current army is no longer the bastards and wastes that only bullied the common people and dared not kill the thieves and bandits!"
"That's a very strict military discipline, and they can fight very well!"
"I think you have seen these days how many scum in the army were beaten or even beheaded for bullying the common people. The current military leaders really don't dare to bully us common people anymore!"
"As for whether we can fight or not, do I need to tell you? Anyone who doesn't believe me can go ask those captured Jinzhou barbarians!"
"With them guarding the Anya border for us, we can go home and live our lives in peace!"
"Oh! You said that even if you return to your hometown, you have no land to plant and no work to do. Where can you earn money and food to support yourself and your family?"
"Look, didn't the young count say it on the notice?"
"After the war, everything was devastated. We need to rebuild our homes! And we can't leave those fertile fields uncultivated! Also, although Anya County is peaceful, there is still war outside the county! Our army needs a large amount of military supplies to guard the border!"
"What to do? Someone has to do the work!"
"So, the young earl decided to pay for the food and hire us common people to rebuild our homes for us! To cultivate good fields for him! To produce military supplies for the army!"
"The young earl also said that although he doesn't have much money now, his family has plenty of food! As long as anyone is willing to work for him, he will never let himself or his family starve!"
"Oh! We don't have to be afraid of those evil officials and the rich and unkind bastards bullying us! Because the young earl will support us ordinary people!"
"He will send many Green Willow Guards to patrol various places, supervise those officials, and keep an eye on those who are rich and unkind! If they dare to bully us again, those patrolling Green Willow Guards will punish them severely!"
"Finally, the young earl also said that he would send people to re-register the land and property in various places. Those unclaimed lands would be temporarily taken over by him and rented to us poor people to cultivate!"
"And the price he set is very reasonable! If you farm for those unscrupulous people, they will charge at least 30% or 40% rent! Good farmland is usually more than half!"
"And he only wants 10% of the inferior land! The best land is 20%. You heard it right! Only 10% or 20% is enough! Because the young earl has many ways to make money! He doesn't care about the little food you dig in the soil!"
"Everyone, hurry back home! If you go too late, you won't be able to grab the low-rent fields released by the young earl! The number of these low-rent fields is limited!"
