Chapter 110 Action is worse than heartbeat
"Xianpeng, help me get some paper and pen." Lin Youcai looked up at Lin Xianpeng who was not far away and said.
"Okay, uncle." Lin Xianpeng responded and ran back.
"Are you guys planning to go to the Kingdom of He?" Lin Zisu looked up and asked the young man.
The boy looked at her and said nothing.
Lin Zisu looked at her father, and Lin Youcai looked at the group of children, who were pale and thin, with tattered clothes hanging on their bodies and shaking.
Lin Youcai: "Our team is going to Heguo. If you are going to Heguo, you can follow our team. You are a group of children. If the situation allows, we will take care of you."
The boy looked at them expressionlessly, "Have you finished reading it? Return it to us if you are done!"
Lin Youcai: "Wait a minute, we'll write down the route and give it back to you."
Lin Zisu only regretted that her cell phone didn’t come with her, otherwise she would have taken pictures of everything and looked at them slowly when she got back to the RV.
"You are talented. I don't know if I can understand what is written on it." Lin Benshu had been educated and could read, but when he was young, he failed the examination to become a scholar several times, so he gave up taking the exam.
Lin Youcai said happily: "This is a newspaper from Heguo. Heguo is in the south and was established in recent years. I know why those rich people ran to the south. They all settled in Heguo."
The four members of the family looked at each other and after reading the newspaper, they all understood what was going on with the country. I'm afraid this world has become a sieve!
Butcher Zhao said anxiously: "Please tell me more details!"
"Uncle Zhao, wait a moment. I'll write down the route!" Lin Youcai took the paper and pen from Lin Xianpeng, and Lin Xianpeng handed him a piece of wood and a small stool.
Lin Youcai sat down and looked at the two siblings and said, "Look at your eldest brother, how attentive he is!"
"Indeed, eldest brother takes good care of his family." Lin Zisu spoke the truth. As the eldest brother, Lin Xianpeng has always taken good care of his younger siblings and never slacked off when doing work.
Lin Xianwen nodded. He had a teenager's body and an adult's soul, but he was not as diligent and caring as his elder cousin.
Lin Zisu looked at the group of children. Except for two little kids who stayed staring at the newspaper, the others turned around and gathered together to whisper.
After Lin Youcai copied down all the routes and drew a map, he also copied down the policies for settling in China and the requirements for the people, the important points in China's announcements, and China's domestic situation. He selected the important ones and copied them down.
Lin Youcai put away the paper and pen, stood up and said, "Okay, I've copied it."
Lin Zisu folded the newspaper and handed it over, "Here you go."
The child who put the newspaper in the backpack did not take the newspaper at this time. Hesitantly shouted: "Sister... Sister, can you tell us what it says... above..." The child's voice became smaller and smaller.
The leading teenager handed over the two kilograms of coarse grains and said, "Uncle, you can take back the grains. In exchange, can you tell us what the newspaper says?"
The shorter boy next to him said, "Uncle, I can recognize a few words, but there are many words on it that I have never seen before..."
Lin Youcai thought for a moment and said, "How about this, let's all gather together and listen! I don't want to say it twice!"
Both parties agreed, and they sat down in the deserted fields beside the official road. Lin Youcai stood at the front with the newspaper and started from the first page.
It was noon, and there were many pedestrians on the road. People who passed by looked at the group of people curiously. When Lin Youcai talked about the second edition of the newspaper, people who passed by stopped and listened attentively.
Lin Zisu and Lin Xianwen each held a newspaper and held it up facing everyone.
Lin Youcai pointed to the map and said, "There is a river here, called the Yangtze River. It is a very wide and very long river. We have to cross the Yangtze River and reach the other side before we can go to the country of He."
Butcher Zhao frowned and said, "How can we get through with so many cars? There's not enough space on the boat! Is there a bridge across the Yangtze River?"
The four members of the Lin family thought, there are ways to get around in modern times, but here, we can only rely on boats.
Lin Youcai said with a look of "don't worry, everyone" "Listen to me first, it says that the country has a very large ship waiting on the shore to take us to the other side of the Yangtze River for free. There are three boats every day, if you miss it, you have to wait until the next day."
Lin Benshu smiled and said, "That's great! That's a good thing! But, can the boat hold so many animals and carts?"
Lin Youcai: "Don't worry, there is more than enough space to accommodate all the people, animals and vehicles here! It can accommodate several times the number of people and vehicles here!"
Everyone was shocked and in uproar. Zhu Ming said in disbelief: "How do you know? Have you seen it?"
Lin Youcai complained in his heart: Not only have I seen it, I've also sat on it!
Lin Youcai: "I have seen it in books and heard the headmaster of the academy say it. I will see if it is true when I go to the Yangtze River. This newspaper is from September last year, and it is about things that happened half a year ago. I don't know what the situation is now. However, I will state my position first. My family is definitely going to Heguo."
Lin Youfeng: "If we go to He Guoan's house, will they really give us a place to stay and give us land?"
Lin Youcai: "It says that anyone who has lived in Heguo for a year and behaved well and has learned Chinese characters, and can write and read, can be registered. Farmland can be bought, the price is not expensive, and the land reclaimed is free, it is considered yours. There are restrictions on the amount of land reclaimed, and the number of acres each person can reclaim is determined based on local conditions."
Lin Youcai turned to the eighth page and said, "Look, there are a lot of recruitment information here. This page is all about it. Some bosses provide food and accommodation, some pay a few taels of silver a month, and some hire children to work. If you are diligent, you won't starve to death. The government also provides loans with very low interest rates. You can borrow money to buy cattle, seeds, farm tools, and start a small business! It's all written on it!"
Tian Daniu: “Really!!!”
Everyone was excited and discussed with each other.
Lin Youcai: "I forgot to mention the most important point. Everyone must study and everyone must be able to speak Chinese! Studying is free. If you study well and rank in the top three in the exam, you will get bonuses!"
Old Man Yang: "Ah... our ancestors have never been able to read a single word. Isn't this making it difficult for us?"
Lin Youcai: "Uncle Yang, it's not difficult. The older ones don't have to force it. It's mainly the children and young people who must learn it!"
Lin Youcai pointed again, "It also says here that people with skills who pass the examination will have food and accommodation provided, and a high monthly salary. After becoming a formal employee of the government, they will also be allocated a house and land. If they are sick, the government will pay for their medical treatment, and they will also be supported by the government when they are old."
Everyone was so shocked that they couldn't close their mouths. It was like they were listening to a fairy tale and couldn't believe it.
Lin Youcai pointed at his brother-in-law's family and said, "My brother-in-law's family are carpenters, old craftsmen passed down from generation to generation. They can go to the shipyard or construction factory in China. Uncle Shi and Shi Yong will definitely be selected by the factory with their skills. They will not have to worry about food and drink in China, and they will even have a ready-made house to live in."
Lin Hongmei stood up excitedly, "Brother, is it true?"
Lin Youcai: "Whether it is true or not, you will know it when you go there. I am looking at the requirements in the newspaper now and making an estimate."
Everyone looked at the Shi family with envy, knowing that craftsmen would never go hungry wherever they went.
Lin Youcai spoke until his mouth was dry and the pedestrians on the road stopped walking and listened with great interest, each thinking in their own mind.
Liang Laidie's eyes lit up as he listened in the back. In the country, women can go to school, work and earn money, have a household registration, and buy their own house.
The group of children listened with great interest. They had heard it correctly in the teahouse. Whether their decision was right or not would be known when they arrived in the country.
Everyone was very excited after hearing this, and each of them had their own plans in mind.
