Chapter 727: Dongning Prefecture (2)
"Daddy! Mother! ”
Looking at the fierce officers and soldiers, the little boy was a little frightened.
"Xiaoyun, don't be afraid!"
The middle-aged woman comforted her son, and her right hand held her son's hand tightly and headed down the boat.
Soon, hundreds of ragged men and women were standing in a messy space next to the dock.
"There are 385 school captains, including 182 adult men, 138 adult women, 29 elderly people, and 36 children."
Putting on and down, an armoured lieutenant was coming to the captain in the open space of the harbor, reporting with a roster.
"How can you be this person? Don't you know that we are short of people here? The lieutenant took the list, a little unhappy.
"Captain, we can't help it, no one wants to come, that's all, they are all found from several states in Jiangnan Province.
However, I would like to ask the lieutenant to report to the governor, and the Jiedu envoy has ordered that all refugees and beggars in the territory be sent here.
It is estimated that there will be tens of thousands, if not more. The deputy team member hurriedly explained.
"It's pretty much the same, beggars are fine, as long as they can work." The lieutenant nodded, and did not continue to investigate.
The development of Dongning Prefecture is the order of the imperial court, so that Jiangnan Province and the Zhendong Army must fully cooperate.
Although the Zhendong Army was a little slower, it would definitely follow Jiangnan Province to send refugees or beggars to Dongning Prefecture.
Even prisoners.
For example, if you commit a crime, you will be sentenced to 10 years in prison. If you go to Dongning Prefecture to serve five years of hard labor, you can be released from prison, that is, the sentence will be halved.
However, there has been no fighting in the Zhendong Army in recent years, and there are very few refugees, only the kind of victims that may have been caused by typhoons, but it is also seasonal.
The lieutenant signed the two rosters that the deputy team was taking, pressed his fingerprint, and returned one of them to the deputy team orthogonally.
"Come on, bring these people down and settle them down."
"Yes!"
Soon a fire captain came up to the confused-looking man and woman and shouted loudly.
"I know you're all here because you can't survive anywhere else. Don't worry, we didn't lie to you, as long as you get here, adult men will be given 50 acres of land, the elderly and adult women will be given 20 acres, and children will be given 10 acres.
These lands will be given to you, but you need to cultivate them yourself, and the government will give you farm tools and seeds, and you will be exempted from taxes for the first two years. ”
Hearing this news, the following people talked about it, which is a good thing.
Even Xiaoyun's family of five has 120 acres, although there is a gap with the expected 120 acres, but the news also shocked them.
"Really? Isn't it true that our family has more than 200 acres of land? It's sent! We sent! ”
"Our family can also have 100 acres!"
"What's the noise? It's all quiet! Huo Chang's face was not good, "If you want to get these lands, there are conditions." Adult men and women must work for two hours a day under the arrangement of the government, and the government will take care of the food and give food and salt for a year. ”
。。。。。。
"Master, this is your house, it has just been built, so it is still a little shabby."
A small servant of the county government took Du Xunhe to the Liuqiu county office, a small courtyard that had obviously just been built, and a few houses.
"It doesn't matter."
Du Xunhe nodded, and asked his family and entourage to go and settle the belongings he brought.
"You're from the county government?" Looking at the little guy in front of him, Du Xunhe said curiously.
"Back to the main book, exactly!"
"Is that true what happened at the docks before? Before I came, I heard that when I came to settle down in Dongning Prefecture, adult men and women were given 50 acres of land, why did it become 50 for men and 20 for women? Du Xunhe remembered what he heard on the dock and was a little puzzled.
"Master Book!" The little servant looked around, leaned over and whispered, "This is all the decision of the Governor's Mansion." I was afraid that no one would want to come because I would give too little, so I wrote more in the announcement to attract those people to open up the wasteland.
Actually, that's not bad. On average, the average family has twenty or thirty acres per person, can there be so much in their hometown? As long as you are willing to endure hardships and reclaim it, it will be much easier in the next few years.
And for officials like the chief book, there are fields. The field is according to the standards of the imperial court, but in this Dongning Prefecture, the master book can also let people go to the wasteland by themselves.
It is all borderless land, let it be cultivated, if you encounter those barbarians, you only need to report to the governor's mansion, and there will naturally be an army to solve it. ”
"Wouldn't that be as much as you want?" Du Xunhe said curiously.
"No, there are limitations. The Governor's Office set quotas according to the rank of each official or soldier. The limit of the master book is the number of your job fields of 200 acres, which will be cultivated by the governor's office, and then only the master book needs to send someone to cultivate. The little guy replied.
"200 acres?" Du Xunhe was a little surprised, "Everyone who comes here can share the land, who has the extra energy to help others farm?" ”
"Naturally, they don't have to migrate normally, but those prisoners can. Those people were not entitled to the policies of the Governor's Office, and the Registrar could employ them.
In addition, there are the barbarians of Dongning Prefecture. The master book can try to buy a few and let them farm, and the Governor's Mansion has caught hundreds of such barbarians.
It is said that behind this mountain is a wider plain, the land is fertile, and there are many barbarians. If Dongning Prefecture expands behind the mountains, it will inevitably have conflicts with those barbarians. ”
Hearing the words of this little guy, Du Xunhe knew how ignorant he was, and he didn't expect the policy of Dongning Prefecture to be so good.
If you have no intention of career, here, you will not be lazy, and you will not be too poor.
。。。。。。
Mingzhou, Wangfu.
Since serving as the general of the Mingzhou Navy, Wang Shimiao has moved his family to Mingzhou, including his family's business.
After all, Laizhou is too far away, and Wang Shimiao can't take care of it.
But Minnesota is different!
He is the general of the Mingzhou Navy Division, or the governor of the Dongning Prefecture, and he is also the number one person in the Eastern Army in this town.
Coupled with the things he accidentally discovered on his previous voyage to sea, he strengthened his thoughts. It is not a good thing to take root and sprout in this Mingzhou, at least you have yourself, and you don't have to worry about being excluded.
"Madam, remember, in the future, do business, avoid disputes with the imperial merchants, we just do the business we can make money, don't touch the gold mines in the Golden State."
There are gold mines in the Golden State, and although there are many people who know about it, there are not many who can mine it.
Not long ago, the sailor sent a ship to find Jinzhou Island along the original route.
And this time to go to sea, it can be described as a lively one.
In addition to the prophetic Wang Shimiao, the three major imperial merchants all sent ships, obviously wanting to see if that Golden State was really that good.
In view of the importance of Jiangnan and the southeastern coastal areas to the imperial court's taxation, the imperial court had set up municipal offices in Mingzhou and Guangzhou.
Mingzhou and Guangzhou are just the beginning, and there will definitely be more to come.
It can be seen that the imperial court attached great importance to maritime trade.
