Daming Liaodong.

Because of the sweeping of the Jurchen tribes last year, coupled with the grasslands that had already been conquered, the entire Liaodong region became extremely safe.

In the winter of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court had already migrated more than 300,000 people from Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces to Liaodong.

In the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, along with the financial reform of the imperial court, the treasury was full, and the imperial court's immigration efforts were greater, and throughout the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, the imperial court moved millions of people from Henan, Shaanxi, and Shanxi provinces to the eastern Liaodong region.

Of course, not only Liaodong, but also the imperial court also relocated millions of people to the four provinces of Jiaozhi, Xianglin, Zheng He, and Nanyang to consolidate the Ming rule over these places.

With the arrival of a large number of immigrants, the originally barren Liaodong region began to be lively.

Liaodong was originally just the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, but this year, the imperial court abolished the Liaodong Metropolitan Division and set up Liaodong Province to govern the entire Liaodong region.

The area under the jurisdiction of Liaodong Province is very extensive, roughly equivalent to the three eastern provinces in later generations, plus the areas of Trans-Khinganling and Sakhalin Island that were occupied by Maozi.

Of course, Liaodong Province is not the largest province in Daming now, and now the largest province in Daming is Grassland Province, which almost governs the entire northern grassland region, with a very vast area, but the population is very scarce.

At this time, it is the golden autumn, and the temperature in the eastern Liaoning region begins to drop rapidly, but in the fields of the eastern Liaoning region, it is a hot scene.

Lingnan Mountain Village, Tieling.

The villagers of the entire Nanshan village are extremely busy, harvesting wheat and storing it.

Li Damao took his family to work desperately in his field, and he was so tired that he didn't even dare to take a breath.

Without it, there were simply too many fields in his family.

He emigrated here last winter, and the imperial court encouraged the immigrants to reclaim the land, plant the farmer, and all the reclaimed fields belonged to the cultivators, and they were also exempted from taxes for three years.

Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, the land is extremely fertile, and the natural resources are incomparably rich.

Throughout the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, Li Damao's family worked hard to reclaim the land, and outside Nanshan Village, the family reclaimed thousands of acres of land.

In many cases, in fact, many fields have not been reclaimed, and just a ridge is enclosed, and it is your own land.

But farmers, naturally, all know that a hard work is a harvest, so Li Damao's family also worked hard, planting wheat, potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, Chinese cabbage and so on on their fields as much as possible.

After a busy year, seeing that the weather in Liaodong began to get colder, and it was harvest season, Li Damao's family began to frown again.

There is so much land to plant, and the family is too busy.

"Whew~Whew~"

Li Damao panted while working hard, standing up from time to time to look at the wheat field he planted, with a smile on his face but a trace of sorrow.

Great harvest, real harvest.

Although because there are too many fields, his management is very extensive, and he does not carry out the same fine work as when he was in his hometown in Henan before.

But the land of Liaodong is black soil, which is very fertile.

The land here in Henan has been planted for a long time, but in fact, the fertility is limited, and it is not as good as that in eastern Liao.

The land is fertile, even if there is no intensive cultivation, plus there is plenty of rain here in Liaodong, and this year the wind and rain are smooth, and the wheat harvest is abundant.

For farmers like Li Damao, a bumper harvest is naturally the most anticipated thing, which means that their hard work for a year has not been in vain.

And what is really happy is that the imperial court has been exempted from taxes for three years, and these fields are their own, which means that all the grain in the fields in front of them belongs to their own families.

That's what makes him happiest.

With so much food, the family ate desperately with an open stomach, and it was enough to eat for many years.

In the past, when I was in Henan, the poor family couldn't open the pot, and the family couldn't eat a few full meals at the end of the year, and even eating dumplings was an extremely luxurious thing.

After coming to Liaodong, life is completely different.

After that, it is not a problem to eat white flour steamed buns or even dumplings.

With so much food, the family can't eat it all, and they can also raise pigs, chickens, cattle, and sheep, and it will not be a problem to eat meat in the future.

Life has been greatly improved, which makes Li Damao's family full of enthusiasm.

Of course, not only Li Damao, but also all those who immigrated to Liaodong.

At first, they migrated with an extremely reluctant attitude, and many people even immigrated to Liaodong by lottery.

But after I really arrived in Liaodong, I found that it was good here.

The imperial court attaches great importance to it and gives a lot of preferential policies, the land is fertile, and it is cultivated at will, and it belongs to itself.

Although Liaodong is cold, the cold has the benefit of cold, that is, as long as you work for half a year, you can basically lie down comfortably at home for the rest of the time.

Many people have already written back to their hometowns to persuade their relatives and friends to immigrate with them, which is why the imperial court was able to emigrate in large numbers from the provinces of Kannai.

Those who taste the sweetness will naturally lead more people to immigrate.

However, Li Damao is also more worried.

I have planted too many fields, but the weather has begun to get colder, and if the wheat is not harvested, it will rot in the ground at that time, which is absolutely unacceptable to the peasants.

Food is all exchanged for a drop of sweat, how can it be wasted in the field like this.

But my family is really too busy.

Not only wheat, but also corn, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cabbage were not harvested.

There is too much food, the house is full, and I have to build a granary temporarily, but there is really no way, and I can only find an open space and pile up the grain.

At this moment, Li Damao is really painful and happy.

"Big hair~Big hair~"

Just as Li Damao was about to bend down and continue to work hard, a familiar voice shouted.

"Otsuki~"

Li Damao looked at the visitor and temporarily put down the farm work in his hand.

"Dazhu, if you don't go to collect grain, why do you have time to come to me?"

Ding Dazhu and Li Damao are both from Nanshan Village, and they have also cultivated a lot of fields, and their families are also busy harvesting crops, and now they have time to come over.

"Brother Da Mao, there are some North Koreans who come here to help people harvest wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes or something, I hired them, and it is estimated that they will be all harvested in two days."

"Do you want to hire someone, if you want to, go to their head to negotiate the price now, if you go late, they may be hired by someone else."

Ding Dazhu hurriedly said.

"North Koreans?"

"Hire someone to harvest wheat?"

When Li Damao heard this, he was slightly stunned.

I have planted the land all my life, I have always planted it by myself, harvested it by myself, even if I have time, it is to help others harvest, when have you ever thought about hiring someone to harvest your own wheat.

"Yes, how much have you planted, you harvest it yourself, when will you receive it, it will all rot in the ground by then, and winter will come soon, and we have to prepare for winter."

"The wages of these North Koreans are not high, they can give money or food, and they can work for a day and give 50 catties of wheat."

Ding Dazhu said with a smile.

"Fifty pounds of wheat, why don't they grab it?"

When Li Damao heard this, he couldn't help but roar.

In the past, when they were in their hometown, they harvested wheat for people, and this day they managed a good meal, and they returned fifty catties of wheat, who would give it to you?

Where are you here to help harvest the wheat, you are here to rob the wheat?

"Brother Da Mao, I can't say anything, at this price now, there is little land in North Korea, and many people have come to our Liaodong side to work."

"Although the price is expensive, there is a lot of time left, and we can't collect more wheat ourselves."

Ding Dazhu smiled and said, this price is indeed very expensive, fifty catties of wheat, the price is really not ordinarily expensive, but he still hired it.

"Do you want to take care of the food?"

Li Damao thought about it and asked again.

Look at their own fields, the family is really busy, the two husbands and wives are tired to death, it is estimated that it is difficult to harvest before the snow, even if there is no way, the price is expensive, or to hire people, if the wheat rots in the ground, it is a pity.

What a wheat!

"If you want to take care of food, you can eat two meals a day."

Ding Dazhu replied.

"Do you still want to take care of the food?"

"Two meals a day?"

Li Damao is about to fry his hair, he used to work in his hometown, and he was satisfied if he could have a full meal a day.

"There's no way, it's all like this, there are too many people who want to hire them, Brother Mao, if you want it, hurry up, otherwise let others hire it first, and then you can only collect it yourself."

Ding Dazhu smiled helplessly.

North Koreans are really good at doing business, and now there are many North Koreans who come to Daming to do things.

In Liaodong alone, there are many North Koreans who come here to cut wood, build houses, build roads, help people harvest wheat, farm land, and so on.

But when you get to Daming, not only can you have a full meal, but also have a good salary, anyway, North Korea and Daming can come and go freely, Daming's money is easy to make, and a large number of North Koreans come to Daming to do things.

Liaodong Province is adjacent to North Korea, so it is more convenient to come to Liaodong, and you don't need to take a boat.

"Let's go, let's go, let's be more expensive, and then we'll talk about the grain first."

Li Damao looked at his vast field, thought about it, and gritted his teeth and prepared to hire someone.

I'm too tired, and I may not be able to finish it all day long, so there's no way.
