Gu Tianya and Li Shimin finally squeezed into the courtyard.

There were also people watching the excitement in the courtyard, and the crowd was even denser than outside, so they pushed forward again and it took a lot of effort to get to the registration office.

The registration office is a simple house, and there are two men confronting each other at the door.

One is none other than tour guide Tan Shijiu.

The other one is the official Lao He.

Maybe it was because they had been arguing for too long that both of them were exhausted. Suddenly Tan Jiujiu gritted his teeth, his tone showed a hint of concession, and said in a low voice: "Fat man He, how about we discuss this?

The military dependents are registered as destitute, and I personally pay to make up for the treatment they enjoy... In this way, they are not considered embezzlement. Since it is not considered embezzlement, you can just raise your hand and pass."

He said sincerely and looked at the official Lao He, hoping that the other party would give him face.

Unexpectedly, Lao He didn't give any face to him. He shook his head at Tan Jiu and said firmly: "The rules are the rules, the laws are the laws. These military family members have pots and pans, and even some on the migration road."

They use oxcarts, so they cannot be classified as destitute and can only be registered as ordinary migrant people according to regulations..."

Lao He paused while speaking, his tone softened slightly, looked at Tan Jiu and said again: "Brother Tan, this hole cannot be opened. I know you want to take care of these military dependents, in fact, why don't I want to take care of them? But we

You cannot mess with Youzhou's laws, because these laws are used to protect the rights and interests of all people. Once the laws are messed up, how can we still ensure fairness?"

Tan Jiu was silent.

A long time passed before he took a deep breath and asked again: "Can't I pay for it myself? Can I continue to fill the treasury with my own money?"

Official Lao He slowly asked for help and said solemnly: "You can help them with money privately, but the treasury will not accept your private wealth."

He paused again, his tone became softer, and he said earnestly: "Brother Tan, you have never understood one thing. Public and private should be distinguished. If you only use your private wealth to support others, then

No one has the right to stop your good deeds. But you want to fill the treasury with your own private wealth and then distribute it to them as subsidies through the treasury. This kind of thing is definitely not allowed because it is against the rules."

He paused again and sighed softly.

It seemed that he also wanted to make a slight concession, so he showed hesitation on his face. However, after hesitating for a long time, he finally chose to go business as usual.

Tan Shijiu was finally disappointed and looked up to the sky with a sigh.

He slowly turned around and looked at the people migrating in the yard. His eyes fell on a dozen women. Suddenly he bowed and saluted with his hands clasped in fists. He said guiltily: "Sisters-in-law, I'm sorry. I originally planned to help you fight for it."

It seems that some subsidies may not be successful now.”

When the women saw him saluting, they all hurriedly knelt down and returned the salute, and all urged: "Brother Tan...Tan, why don't you...or just forget it. What I heard from this official just now was very clear. Breaking the rules is absolutely not allowed."

Since we are not considered destitute, we will not fight for this subsidy. We have hands and feet and can work to earn money. As long as we can settle here and work hard, we will not starve to death..."

"No, you don't understand!"

Tan Jiu suddenly shouted and said with a distressed look on his face: "You have no idea how useful the subsidies for the poor are. Once you are registered as poor, you will immediately be able to enjoy various benefits in Youzhou. For example, when you settle down.

, the government will issue a house purchase subsidy. For example, if your children go to school, you don’t have to pay tuition fees. You will also have food, drink, and clothing. They will all be provided to you on the first day you enter the city, and for the next year.

, corresponding monthly subsidies will be delivered to your doorstep... Sisters-in-law, do you understand how great this help is? It will allow you to quickly settle down in Youzhou, and it will allow you to live your life early."

The women sighed, lowered their heads timidly and said, "But, we are not destitute. What I just heard from this official made it clear that we are not considered destitute if we own pots and pans."

Tan Jiujiu roared, pointed to the bullock cart parked in the yard, and shouted: "How much are broken pots and bowls worth? You have just been poor for a long time, so you are reluctant to leave them behind when you migrate.

These household items. But these household items are supposed to reflect your poverty. Why do they become evidence that you are not in extreme poverty?"

The more he spoke, the more miserable and angry he became. He roared suddenly and yelled again: "I'm so confused, what kind of fucking rule is this? The head of the family has always been kind to the people. The head of the family is known to have insight into the world and human beings. Why did he break such a rule this time?"

What a big mistake is that we didn’t consider the sorrow of the people when setting the rules.”

When the women saw him yelling, they were afraid that he would do something bad in a moment of anger, so they crowded in front of him, grabbed him with their hands and tried to comfort him.

I just heard a woman say softly: "Brother Tan, don't hold back. If you are not poor, you are not poor. In fact, we didn't plan to enjoy any subsidies at the beginning."

Another woman followed closely to persuade him, saying: "Yes, yes, brother Tan, don't feel aggrieved. When I heard about the subsidies you just mentioned, I really felt that I was longing for them, but if I can't enjoy the subsidies, my sisters-in-law will also feel sad."

It’s no pity. We are a group of women who are used to poverty, and we can endure any hardship..."

The woman paused for a moment and then added with a gentle smile: "For example, if the government doesn't provide housing purchase subsidies, we can build a small shed to live in the city first, and then slowly earn and save money, and then we can buy it after we have saved enough."

It’s not too late to get a house.”

Other women chatted and interjected to comfort them: "Yes, yes, it's not difficult. For example, if the children go to school, we can go to work in the cotton workshop. You once told us that the treatment of female cotton workers is very good."

Well, as long as you can be employed there, your children can also go to school for free."

"There is also food and clothing. We have hands and feet and can earn it by ourselves. In fact, we are not willing to reach out to receive subsidies, which will make us feel like beggars. So Brother Tan, you don't have to help us fight for it. Just let us

This official will register us as ordinary migration. We must not mess with the government's laws..."

What a group of kind and gentle women.

Don’t they crave subsidies?

Actually eager!

But when they saw Tan Shijiu arguing with others, especially with government officials, they felt timid and worried, so they stepped forward one after another to persuade him.

Gu Tianya and Li Shimin watched with cold eyes, taking all this in their hearts.

The little girl Li Mingzhu blinked her eyes, and occasionally poked Gu Tianya or Li Shimin with her hands, obviously hoping that they would come forward to resolve the matter, but unfortunately, both Gu Tianya and Li Shimin chose to remain silent.

So the little girl stamped her feet angrily, turned her head away in anger and refused to pay attention to the two elders.

But after all, she was as smart as ice and snow, and she quickly realized the intentions of the two elders, so the little girl's face became concerned, and she turned her head again and continued to pay attention to the scene in front of her.

…

At this time, I saw another woman trying to persuade Tan Jiu.

The woman was always holding a package tightly in her arms. However, at this moment, she suddenly opened a small opening in the package. She carefully opened the opening of the package and rushed towards Tan Shijiu, signaling Tan Jiujiu to take a look inside, but not

By the time Tan Jiujiu saw what was inside the package, the woman had already closed the package again nervously.

She first looked around cautiously, and then she began to persuade Tan Shijiu in a low voice, saying: "Brother Tan, did you just see that? There is still some money in my sister-in-law's package, so you don't need to worry about us starving to death.

"

She paused as she spoke, and then continued: "Whether it is my own sisters, the other women who migrated with them, their children, and their husbands, everyone's food and drink come from me first.

My sister-in-law promises not to let everyone starve to death. I will buy food after entering the city, and the money in the package should be enough."

Tan Shijiu remained silent.

After a long time passed, the man sighed and said bitterly: "This is your last little money."

The woman pursed her lips and said, "You can make money after spending it. If my man knew what happened today, he would definitely agree to what I did..."

Tan Shijiu stopped insisting and turned around to speak to the official Lao He. He had been persuaded by the women and decided not to continue to compete for subsidies from the poor.

…

However, at this moment, Gu Tianya, who had been paying attention silently, finally made a move.

I saw Gu Tianya coming out of the crowd, smiling leisurely at the official Lao He, and said: "I am a spectator. I just stood aside and watched for a long time. I suddenly had an idea and couldn't help but want to talk about it.

It can also be regarded as a suggestion, which may be able to solve your problem."

Official Lao He was slightly startled. He didn't know who Gu Tianya was due to his rank, but Tan Jiujiu was shocked, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.

Fortunately, the official Lao He only listened to the advice and did not notice Tan Shijiu's expression at all. Otherwise, he would have noticed something wrong immediately and would have easily guessed Gu Tianya's identity.

After all, Gu Tianya and Tan Xiao are probably the only two people in the entire Youzhou who can surprise and delight a stubborn person like Tan Shijiu.

…

Gu Tianya didn't care about Tan Jiu's expression, but continued to look at the official Lao He with a smile, and asked in a warm voice: "How is it? Are you willing to listen to my suggestions?"

The official Lao He nodded without hesitation and said: "Actually, we Lao He are not hard-hearted. I know that these military relatives must be from poor backgrounds. However, due to the registration rules of Youzhou City, I can only bite the bullet and be a bad person.

.If there is some solution that allows me to help the poor without breaking the rules, then I will be happy to listen to it and will definitely follow your suggestions..."

He paused as he spoke, looked at Gu Tianya sincerely, and said solemnly: "So, your Excellency, please speak."

The entire courtyard of the registration office could suddenly hear needles dropping, and everyone felt a desire in their hearts. They very much hoped that Gu Tianya's suggestion would be useful and help the group of migrating military dependents in front of them earn subsidies.

Under the gaze of everyone, Gu Tianya smiled slightly and said: "My suggestion is actually very simple, that is, I ask you, the registration official, to make a mark on the document. This is not illegal, and it can leave room for lenience.

If we think of ways to supplement it, we will definitely be able to solve this matter perfectly..."

Lao He was slightly happy and asked quickly: "How to mark it?"

Gu Tianya turned his head to look at the group of migrant women, then turned back to look at the official Lao He, and said with a smile: "You still register them as ordinary people, but I will note the words 'disputed' on the document

.With this remark, the matter is not finalized. Since it is not finalized, the relocation approval document cannot be issued for the time being..."

Tan Jiujiu subconsciously said: "If the migration approval is not issued? How can they enter the city?"

A mysterious look appeared on Lao He's face, and he gave instructions in a low voice: "There is no migration approval document, but there is a 'disputed' initial registration. You take them to get this registration and go to the city gate to declare the qualifications for refugees to enter the city.

, you are all familiar with the soldiers at the gate of the city, I doubt they will
