Chapter 252: A Visitor from Lingzhou

A thousand pairs of eyes looked at Guo Song, and everyone was looking forward to getting satisfactory news.

Guo Song continued with a smile: "It is a matter of everyone's vital interests, of course I have to do my best to fight for the greatest interests of the imperial court, in fact, bringing the family to Fengzhou, it is good for everyone, everyone can go home to rest in winter, and they can continue to receive money, usually in the three seasons of spring, summer and autumn, everyone can have a month's vacation, go home and reunite with their families."

As for everyone's family migrating to Fengzhou, I can guarantee that each family has at least three acres of fertile land, willing to live in the city, each family provides two acres of homestead, wants to live in the countryside outside the city, each family enjoys five acres of homestead, as for the field tax, as long as you are still in the army, then your family can be exempt from tax, even if you retire from the army and return to agriculture in the future, your field tax will be half lower than that of the Central Plains, and the land will still belong to you as a permanent field to pass on to your descendants. ”

"What if my parents are not in good health and can't bear the cold of Toyoshu?" A soldier asked in a loud voice.

"I have said that I will not force everyone to move their families here, I will only use favorable conditions to attract everyone to move their families, everything is voluntary, I believe that most of the soldiers are born poor, and their families are living by renting other people's land, I also know that many soldiers have been away from home for a few years, and the children can't remember their fathers, and their parents are old and can't fulfill their filial piety by their side, so they move their families here, with 300 acres of fertile land, fertile land, convenient irrigation, and can also take care of their wives and children.

Brothers, there is food, clothing, housing, horses, and children can go to school, such conditions have not been available before, and will not be certain in the future, this is an opportunity, and I sincerely hope that the brothers will seize this opportunity, and everyone will consider it carefully, contact their families as soon as possible, move here this year and next, and then distribute the land and food rations, and then they will be able to put into spring ploughing after the beginning of spring. ”

Guo Song's words really moved the soldiers, everyone was excited, eager to write to their families, only 300 acres of Yongye land and tax exemption these two completely moved everyone.

You must know that the Juntian system implemented in the early Tang Dynasty, each man only had 20 acres of Yongye land, which only lasted for decades and then disappeared, and the government military system was also destroyed.

The biggest advantage of Fengzhou is that the land is vast and the population is sparse, this fertile land can carry a million people, but now there are only more than 10,000 people, and the Fengzhou government is fully qualified to give soldiers preferential treatment.

But Guo Song also knows that there are many things to deal with when he migrates, and he may not be in time this year, but he hopes that the families of the army will start coming over one after another next year.

........

Soon after Guo Song went to the west to surrender to the city, he came to his home in Jiuyuan County, Liang Ling'er, the daughter of Liang Yundao, this time she came to Fengzhou, in fact, it was her father's decision, the little lady was fourteen years old, it happened to be a rebellious period, and her father Liang Yundao couldn't control her, she took a group of wealthy children all day long to fight chivalrous righteousness, and fought everywhere, which was a headache.

Liang Yundao thought of this plan to draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, let her go to Fengzhou brother to live for a while, cut off her contact with the children of that group of wealthy families, this trip also made Liang Linger quite interested, but she didn't want to live with her brother Liang Wu, she wrote to Xiaoyu Niang, planning to live in Guo Song's mansion.

The three carriages slowly drove into Jiuyuan City under the escort of more than a dozen entourage, inside the window, Liang Linger looked around, very curious about everything in Jiuyuan County, she was still the first time to come to Fengzhou, although Fengzhou and Lingzhou have similar climate and environment, but Liang Linger was still full of interest, what made her happiest was that after coming to Fengzhou, there was no strict control from her father.

Liang Linger has a cheerful and outgoing personality, her feelings are not delicate enough, she seems to be elf and eccentric, but in fact, she has no scheming, and she belongs to the kind of little lady who is like Ma Daha.

In the past, she admired Guo Song very much and had a hazy good feeling, but as time went by, she didn't have contact for more than two years, and her good feeling gradually faded again, in fact, she didn't even realize it.

She still likes Guo Song very much, but she no longer has the special lingering feelings she used to have, she wants to come to Fengzhou, more to avoid her father's control, and wants to live freely, she also likes Xiao Yu Niang very much, especially Xiao Yu Niang's special identity and experience in the Hidden Sword Pavilion, which makes her heart full of mystery.

The carriage stopped in front of Guo Song's mansion, and Xiao Yu Niang was already waiting for her at the door, Liang Ling'er jumped out of the carriage and ran forward and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu Niang, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

Xiao Yu Niang took her hand and smiled: "I thought you would come at the beginning of spring, it's only mid-February!" ”

Liang Ling'er pouted and said: "Daddy forces me to read every day, memorizes those Ziyue, Mencius and the like all day long, and writes a thousand words every day, which annoys me to death, and it's still three months, I can't stay up for a day." ”

Seeing the entourage moving a large pile of cages from the third carriage, Xiao Yuniang couldn't help but exclaim, "You brought so many things!" ”

Liang Ling'er smiled and said: "I'm going to live for a year and a half and then go back, of course I have to prepare more." ”

The little fish girl is a little big, this little girl actually wants to live here for a year and a half?

"Don't say anything, take me to see the room, where do I live?"

Without waiting for Xiao Yuniang to take her, Liang Ling'er ran into the mansion like a gust of wind and hung a large group of people at the door.......

This time Liang Ling'er brought two mothers-in-law and a maid to come with her, and she had to arrange for them to stay, although more than a dozen entourages wanted to go back, but they always had to rest for one night, eat two meals before leaving, Xiaoyu Niang had to ask Liang Butler to arrange them, and she quickly walked into the inner house to chase Liang Ling'er.

"Ling'er, you can live in a courtyard with me, or you can live in a courtyard alone, and there are two empty courtyards next to it, you choose."

Liang Ling'er smiled and said, "How can I live casually?" Those two courtyards must be for the future Mrs. Guo, so I'll live with you! ”

She looked through a small door in the courtyard next door, and her eyes lit up, "Where is this again?" That's good! ”

"That's where Childe lives, and he doesn't like to be disturbed."

Xiao Yu Niang was afraid that Liang Ling'er would be hot and wanted to live in a courtyard with her son, so she hurriedly explained: "I originally wanted to live there so that I could serve him, but he rushed over." ”

What she meant by that was that even I wasn't qualified, so don't even think about it.

Liang Ling'er pouted and muttered: "Who rarely lives with him, he is now an official, and he has become as straightforward as his father all day long, and he is not as fun as before." ”

Before Guo Song set off from Lingzhou to Fengzhou last year, he reprimanded Liang Ling'er and told her to study hard and stop taking a group of half-grown children around to make trouble, which made Liang Ling'er feel resistant.

"By the way, where did Brother Guo go? In the official office? ”

"He has gone to the city of surrender in the west, and he will go to the city of surrender in the middle and the city of surrender in the east, and he will not come back until at least early March."

"Hah! When he's gone, I'm freer. ”

Liang Ling'er danced happily, pulled the little fish girl and said, "I just learned to smoke makeup, I'll draw it for you, hey!" Where's my box? ”

Then she remembered that her box and everything were at the door, and she hadn't moved in yet!

........

Guo Song stayed for three days in the west of the surrender city, and then went to the surrender of the city, the city of the surrender is located three hundred miles east of Jiuyuan County, also belongs to the Hetao Plain, in the territory of Fengzhou, that is, today's Baotou in Inner Mongolia, is located on the north bank of the Yellow River, the same fertile land, convenient irrigation.

The city was abandoned before the surrender, and was reactivated by the imperial court last spring, stationed a thousand troops, and the city was a military city, basically without people, there were families of the army living here in the past, and all the residents had moved south, leaving only some desolate and uninhabited villages.

Guo Song's goal today is to revive the former tradition of military families living with the army, and to relocate the military families back, either near the city of Zhongshou or in Feng'an County, a hundred miles away, and he needs to consult with the soldiers and make their own decisions.

The 1,000 soldiers who surrendered to the city also participated in the defense of Jiuyuan last year, and after the war, the army was also adjusted, and 10 brigade commanders were transferred back to the Shuofang army, or they were given generous conditions to retire from the army and return to the peasants, and his henchmen took over the post of brigade commander, so as to firmly control the 1,000 troops in their own hands.

In the afternoon of this day, Guo Song arrived at the city of Zhongshou, and the town general Lu Mingbo went out of the city to welcome Guo Song's arrival.

The two saluted, and Guo Song smiled and asked, "General Lu should have received my letter!" ”

Lu Mingbo hugged his fists and said: "I received a letter from the envoy, and I talked to all the soldiers according to the envoy's request, and ninety percent of the soldiers expressed their willingness to move their families to Fengzhou, and one percent of the soldiers are considering, but the lowly position is estimated to be a big problem." ”

"Have you decided where to place the families?"

"Opinions are not unanimous, some want to arrange their families in Feng'an County, and some want to be closer, just live near the surrendered city, and it has to be decided by the envoy."

Guo Song smiled slightly: "Then I'll talk to the soldiers again, my opinions are all arranged near Feng'an County, so as to facilitate mutual assistance, if you really want to live near the surrendered city, then you can do it, then you need to form a small town or village, I will explain the advantages and disadvantages to everyone clearly, and finally make a decision." ”

"Everything is arranged by the envoy, please let the envoy enter the city to rest."

As they spoke, they entered the surrendered city together.
