Chapter 39: cant go back (1/2)

Chapter 39 Can't Go Back

It is said that on the day when the imperial envoy arrived in Yongning Mansion, it rained suddenly after a clear day, and it rained heavily for three days and three nights.

The dry land was moistened, and the dead people cheered and shouted, as if they had finally seen the dawn, and everyone said that this was auspiciousness descended from the sky, and declared that the new emperor of the world was the contemporary Mingjun, and he was blessed by the heavens.

Gu Yundong is still in Xuanhe Mansion, and he still doesn't know the uproarious news spread over there. Even if she knew, she didn't care.

She was standing in front of the bulletin board at the gate of the city, frowning slightly when she saw the announcement just posted.

This notice is about the victims who fled the famine. Yongning House already has food and silver for the disaster relief. The chaos has been levelled and order is slowly being restored. Naturally, these people also want to go back.

As long as those who go back, the government office will give a certain amount of toll, and it will be exempted for three years.

Of course, it’s okay not to go back, the refugees are resettled on the spot, attached to the register, and re-registered by the yamen. There is no condition for three-year exemption, and there is no money to take it.

And the place of placement also depends on your luck, basically not in too prosperous and wealthy towns, or even in slightly better villages. There is no distribution of land, and at most two acres of wasteland will be given to you to reclaim by yourself.

Most people will choose to go back, and the idea of ​​falling leaves returning to their roots is deeply ingrained in everyone's mind. If you have money, you can be exempted from the tax for three years, and you will still be familiar relatives and friends when you return to your hometown.

Not to mention that many people in towns and cities have their industrial houses in Yongning Mansion, so giving up like this would be a huge loss.

But these, for Gu Yundong, did not have much temptation.

After reading the announcement, she returned to Cousin Ke's house with a vegetable basket.

Cousin Ke was sitting in the yard, holding a needle and thread and making shoes for two little ones. Only then did she realize that this girl who was very good at cooking didn't know how to make clothes and shoes, while Mrs. Yang knew how to do it, but it didn't look good.

Cousin Ke hurt the two children and asked Gu Yundong to buy rags and sew them by himself.
