When the rain arrives in spring, get up early and go to bed late.

For people like Liang Chuan, who are not diligent and do not distinguish between grains and grains, he suddenly felt that when he got up one day to chop wood, the quiet He Lu suddenly became lively. People carried plows and snails to the fields, hoes and rakes on their shoulders, and manure on their shoulders, and every household began to clean up their own one-third of an acre. The temperature in the air has risen slightly, the sky is gradually brightening early, the temperature is slowly rising, and the busy spring ploughing season on the land has finally begun.

Zheng Ruoying's brows were tightly locked, and she was so worried that she didn't think about tea and dinner. The tenant farmers at home were busy packing up the paddy fields and occupying all the farm tools and ploughing cattle, and Mo said that he would spare some of them to serve the family's sugarcane fields, and there were not even a few redundant tenant farmers.

She used her coquettish skills to pester Zheng Yiqian, hoping that Zheng Yiqian would be soft-hearted and come forward to help him pull out a few cows and a few tenant farmers to help reclaim those dry lands. Zheng Yiqian remembered that he was beaten by his wife a few days ago because of his momentary confusion, and now he can't even touch the bed for a few days, so he can only sleep in the living room, where do he dare to be soft-hearted.

Besides, this spring ploughing plan is the foundation of the family, if you miss the spring ploughing, the family will not be able to harvest grain in the autumn, and now most of the family's business still depends on the autumn grain, and the tenant farmers cannot receive the grain, so what to pay taxes and what to pay rent?

Lao Cai has been watching this eldest lady since she was a child, and knows in her heart that she has been quite interested in planting sugarcane recently, but she happened to encounter the busy farming season of spring ploughing, and she can find a ghost when she can plough cattle. Lao Cai Cheng felt sorry for this girl, so he helped her come up with an idea, go to the market to see if there is anyone selling cattle, recruit by the way, see if there are idle farmers, last year there were many people who escaped from the north, look at the luck, you should be able to find it.

The only thing she needs is money, Zheng Ruoying wanted to pin her hopes on her father Zheng Yiqian, but Zheng Yiqian said that she would not help her, she was ruthless and took out all the private money she had saved for several years.

Zhenzong Xianping five years, the northwest Li clan patriarch Li Jiqian was plotted by Tubo, seriously injured and died, Li Deming succeeded to the throne after the expansion of the force, to Zhenzong Tianxi three years, but also selected Huaiyuan Town as the capital, changed to Xingzhou, is now Xingqing Mansion, Song Liao is still called a minister, but the wolf ambition has been known to everyone.

At this time, the Liao State in the north is no longer a big trouble, but the northwest is treacherous, the Li family invades the Song realm from time to time, the northwest was originally a place for the people, the Li family is a disaster together, and the people are not happy. In this dynasty, Li Yuanhao succeeded to the throne of Xia, the northwest situation changed, the Li family was ambitious, not only with the Great Song Dynasty, even the Liao State was not in the eyes, swords and soldiers met, displaced people everywhere, a large number of homeless refugees migrated to the interior.

Relocation is the most fundamental belief in the hearts of the people for thousands of years, and if the land where their ancestors lived was not the last resort, these simple people would not think of changing it. But the war is impermanent, there is a war at both ends in three days, not to mention agricultural production, and there is no life. It is also because the household registration management in this dynasty is relatively loose, and the restrictions on personal life are not as crazy as in the Ming Dynasty, so it is possible to move the family.

The land in the north has long been saturated, and the only place that can accept these displaced people is Jiangnan, and the large tract of land in the south is still in a primitive and undeveloped state.

A large number of refugees crossed the Yangtze River, Jiangnan is not as good as Jiangbei at this time, Jiangbei has been an important land for agriculture since ancient times, and the development of the south is not so in place, and the impression of Nanban is still deeply imprinted in the hearts of the people. A large number of refugees are advancing towards the Jianghuai and Zhejiang, and they will no longer advance here, but a small number of people can see far, and would rather give up the great prosperity of the south of the Yangtze River and continue to move towards the south, they believe that although the more south they are, the poorer they are, but they can stay away from the military disaster, and it doesn't matter if they can give their children and grandchildren peace for several generations, and they don't need to suffer from their own generation, this is the most important thing.

People are still there, what is the suffering.

Fan Dianyuan dragged a wooden frame car, the car has been crumbling for thousands of miles, his little daughter and wife sitting on the car, the three of them have a clean face, but the smell is strange, they can't remember how long they haven't taken a bath, their hair is messy and yellow, stained with some grass stems and broken leaves, and they look like they are called Huazi, walking on Fengshan, the only main road from north to south, others are afraid to avoid it. Behind him there were a dozen or so others like him.

They all escaped from Shaanxi together, Li Yuanhao was reckless, occupied Xia, Yin, Sui, You, Jing, Ling, Hui, Sheng and many other prefectures and counties, covering the area of Shaanxi, this place is not blessed by God, sandwiched between the Li family, Zhao Song and the Khitan people, years after year of military disasters, not to mention food, even the grass roots and bark have been eaten, and they are almost cannibalistic.

Fan Dianyuan, like everyone else, had no choice but to take his family to the south to make a living. At the beginning, there were hundreds of such families from Shaanxi, some went to Shuzhong, some went to Jingxiang, and there were fewer and fewer people in the team along the way.

Fan Dianyuan did not faint when he saw the wealth of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, because he knew that the fertile land here could not accommodate them, and the children and grandchildren could only be tenant farmers and slaves to the local landlords, where was there land for them, he persuaded the people in the team to grit their teeth and go south, and enter the Fujian Road, where there are large areas of mountain and forest land that have not yet been developed, first give the locals two years as tenant farmers, and then get familiar with the place, find the abandoned land, there must be a place for them. Only a few people in the fleeing northern Shaanxi team believed his words and continued south after passing the Jianzhou Mansion.

In order to come to Fujian, when Taizu set the Dingjiang Mountain, Shuchuan fought, and the two lakes were also conquered, and Minyue was surrendered, here, there has been no war like other places for hundreds of years, looking at the entire Great Song Dynasty, here has been peaceful for a long time, and for these displaced people, the most afraid is war, and the most desired is such a peaceful place.

It was impossible to go further south, and they saw that a large area of land here was in a state of abandonment, not that crops had not yet been planted, but that there were weeds and rocks, and that there had been no one to cultivate for many years.

This place is where they end.

Lao Cai took Zheng Ruoying with him, Cai Gang was driving a carriage to buy cattle in the market in Fengshan, and the family was not even enough tenant farmers, Zheng Ruoying took the opportunity to see if there were any idle laborers to recruit a few to go back to reclaim the sugarcane land. Lao Cai told him not to use it if it was a local. If the locals don't even bother to plough their own land now, then why are such people recruited? Eat dry rice?

Normally, the ploughing cattle at this time are like treasures, and every household takes good grass and good fodder for supply, for fear of getting sick, and can't go to the field, and miss the farming time, not to mention selling cattle for money. But Zheng Ruoying's luck is too good, there are a few farmer's cattle that are going to be sold, go to Suzhou and Hangzhou to see, the land is really not mixed up like this, and the government taxes are too tight, thinking about going to the north to work hard to see if they can turn over. Take advantage of this busy spring season when you need to plough cattle, come to the market to see if you can sell it at a good price.

The two families had five cows in their hands, and Zheng Ruoying saw that this opportunity was willing to miss it, so she negotiated the price with the two families on the street. Unexpectedly, while negotiating the price, an unkempt little boy suddenly ran out of the roadside, and his clothes were in tatters in the winter. The little boy grabbed Zheng Ruoying's skirt as soon as he could, Zheng Ruoying was a big girl with yellow flowers, and she was suddenly bluffed, and after looking at it, she found that it was not a thief, but a little boy.

This little boy was probably hungry, and he had never seen such a beautiful young lady from a rich and noble family, so without knowing it, he went over and grabbed Zheng Ruoying's skirt and said, "Sister Fairy, hungry. . . ”

When the little boy's father and mother saw the scene, they were terrified, they didn't know the price of the shiny silk dress, but they knew that even if they took the family to the kiln and sold it, they wouldn't be able to pay so much money to others.

As soon as Jia Ding Cai Gang saw that this little ghost was so ignorant in broad daylight, he dared to be wild with his own people like this, and immediately showed a loyal posture of protecting the Lord, rushed to the front, tore the little boy away, pushed him to the ground, raised the horsewhip in his hand, and said angrily in his mouth: "Where did you come from, dare to be rude to our young lady like this, blind your dog's eyes, my little family's skirt is worth a few dollars, can you afford to pay for it if it is dirty and torn!" After saying that, the high whip was whipped down at the child.

"Smack!" With a bang, the little boy's originally hungry face immediately appeared with crimson blood stains, because of the pain, and was intimidated by Cai Gang like this, the little boy got up from the ground, sat on the ground and wiped his tears and began to cry. Cai Gang sniffed the hand he had just touched the little boy, and a disgusting smell rushed to his head.

Zheng Ruoying was very disgusted with Cai Gang's behavior of fighting with people, and when she saw that Cai Gang was going to give the little boy a second blow, she immediately shouted: "Stop fighting!" Stop it! ”

The little boy's parents knelt down in front of Zheng Ruoying and his party with a bang, kowtowed in front of Zheng Ruoying with a handful of snot and tears: "Female Bodhisattva is merciful, poor poor baby, the baby is hungry and stupid, don't fight, the baby is still young, let the doll go." ”

Cai Gang looked at these two parents who were not long-eyed and wanted to teach them a lesson, Zheng Ruoying couldn't bear it anymore and was about to have a seizure, Lao Cai's thick and majestic voice opened his mouth and said, "Didn't you hear when you stopped telling you?" When did you become so presumptuous? ”

Cai Gang looked at these beggar-looking people angrily, threw the horsewhip to the side, and the whip threw out a whip flower on the ground, and said, "This time is a few of you're fatal!" My young lady doesn't care about you, otherwise the master will send you to heaven! ”

Zheng Ruoying squatted down and helped the little boy up, checked the whip marks on his body, and said distressedly: "Good, don't cry, don't cry, my sister will buy you meat buns to eat." Zheng Ruoying instructed Cai Gang to buy a few meat buns, and Cai Gang saw that his young lady still wanted to buy food for these stinky beggars, so he hurriedly said, "Miss. . . Lao Cai said behind him: "Don't go quickly, you don't have to come out with us next time." ”
