Chapter 723: The Loyal Army Lands
The house was turned into white ground, and the field was barren and overgrown with grass.
Even the grassy land no longer belongs to him, because it was sold out by the family a few years ago.
Fortunately, there is no endless road, and the government sent people to post notices to recruit displaced people to go to Liaodong.
When it comes to Liaodong, you can divide the land and grant land, you can live a stable and good life, and you can eat and clothe yourself.
Even whether they have been thieves or bandits before, whether they were good citizens in the government before, or they are fugitive slaves, as long as they sign up, then all their past identities will not be investigated.
As long as they arrive in Liaodong, they will re-establish their household registration, list them as good citizens, grant land and land, and live and work in peace and contentment.
The notice was too appealing to him.
He inquired, and he didn't need to pay anything, and he didn't have to bring anything, just bring himself. The government will arrange everything for them, including food on the road, and they don't have to worry about not having farm tools and seeds when they get there.
With the last shred of hope, he signed up.
Then, like many displaced people who had also lost hope in the Central Plains, they became part of the immigration team after registration.
The displaced people first registered and assembled in each county, and then were brought to the county by official messengers.
There, Wang Ping'an took a bath at the request of the official, washed it inside and out, and even shaved off his hair, which made him very resistant at the time, how could his parents who were affected by his body be damaged.
But the official told him that it was to prevent him from getting sick.
He didn't understand what preventing illness had to do with shaving his hair, but in the end the official said that he couldn't go to Liaodong without shaving, and he finally shaved it, leaving two lines of tears when he shaved his hair.
But the reality of the predicament made him have no choice but to live, and the rest didn't matter.
Fortunately, after shaving their hair and taking a bath, the official also issued a set of clothes to each person, although they were also old clothes, they were very clean and warm.
Then each received their own identification badge, a wooden plaque with their name written on it, and some physical features on it. From Qi County all the way to Donglai Port, you can eat three meals a day on the road, two dry meals and one thin meal, not only pickles and even hot soup.
It made him feel hopeful and not cheated.
"Did you see that boat, it was Zhang Dashuai and Luo Shuai's family who were sitting on that boat."
A companion in front whispered.
This guy is very thin, very clever, and likes to inquire about all kinds of news.
After Wang Ping'an heard this, his heart moved, he looked up and cocked his neck, and sure enough, he saw a particularly large boat, which was several floors.
"Why did Zhang Dashuai go to Liaodong?" He asked in a whisper.
"You don't know this, let me tell you, our Zhang Dashuai has been promoted, and now he is the Duke of Qi and the hussar general, and he is going to Liaodong to enter the dynasty as the secretary of the military department." The bamboo pole was a little proud to tease the news he inquired.
"What is a hussar general? Haven't heard of it before? ”
"It is a new official rank set up by the Liaodong Imperial Court, and it is said that now the official ranks are separated from civil and military, each with a set of 29 ranks. This hussar general, it is the highest level in the martial arts rank, from the first grade! ”
Wang Ping'an sighed, he didn't have any interest in this hussar general, anyway, it had nothing to do with him, he was more concerned about the fact that Zhang Shuai and Luo Shuai's family members went to Liaodong, which showed that Liaodong might be really good.
"Do you think we can really get the fields when we get to Liaodong?" Wang Ping'an asked the bamboo pole.
"Of course, let me tell you, it is said that those people who went to Liaodong before took advantage of it. Each of the Ding men is divided into 100 acres of land, and the men among the Ding women are divided into 50 acres of land, and even those under the age of 12 are divided into 20 acres according to their mouths. Good guys, many people have been divided into hundreds of acres of land in the past, in the Central Plains, there were some poor people who lived on tenant helpers, and now they have become landlords. ”
Wang Ping'an interrupted him again and asked, "Then let's go over now, can we divide the land immediately, where do we live after dividing the land, and what about the farm tools and seeds?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, let me tell you, Luo Shuai has arranged it. Let's go over this time, we will first have 500 people in a tun, and then they will prepare some tents, knives, axes and other tools for us, and after we arrive at the tuntian, we will first cut wood, cut grass, build houses, build fires, and cut wood and wood. ”
"Where's the grain?"
"The rations for the first year are sent above, but they are not gray, this is recorded in the account first, and then we have to pay it back, but we don't need interest, so it's cheap."
The bamboo pole chattered endlessly, he was indeed well-informed, and he inquired about a lot of things clearly.
For example, in the first year, the immigrants used to be 500 people in a tun, working collectively, first building a tunzi, and then they had to reclaim the wasteland together, rations, farm tools, seeds, and cattle, all of which were issued by the Liaodong government, but they were only leased, recorded in the account first, and then repaid later, but there was no interest.
After a year, the land reclaimed by the collective will be distributed to the people in the tunzi, and at this time, everyone can be regarded as having a firm foothold, so they will cultivate the land by themselves after dividing the land.
In the first year, all the grain and other food obtained from the collective reclamation of the fields were distributed to everyone, and they did not even want to rent it.
"After the field is divided, you can continue to rent seeds, farm tools, and cattle."
The bamboo pole told Wang Ping'an, "It's a pity that I am a single single, if I have a mother-in-law and children, it will be more advantageous, the more people, the more land at that time." This is the only opportunity, and it would be a pity to miss it. Hey, it would be nice if I could find a woman to marry among the displaced people who went to Liaodong together, even if it was a widow. ”
Wang Ping'an heard this in his ears and put it in his heart, he felt that what he said was very right, but there were strangers all around, and he didn't know where such a woman could be begged to be a mother-in-law.
Over there.
Under the gaze of Shan Binbin and others, Zhang Xutuo boarded the building ship bound for Liaodong.
Standing on the deck, Zhang Xutuo waved his hand towards Donglai Port.
Sea off the harbor.
A fleet of ships is approaching the port.
The ship is getting closer, and the flag on the mast is very prominent.
"It's a ship from Liaodong."
"It's not a merchant ship, it's a warship, you look at the flag, the White Tiger Flag, Luo Shuai's soldiers."
"Luo Shuai sent troops south to Shandong."
In the port, everyone was excited, and everyone was accustomed to being afraid of other armies, but for the Luo family's army, they had already begun to regard it as their own soldiers.
Seeing them is not fearful, but joyful.
"Is Luo Shuai finally going to fight in the Central Plains?" Wang Ping'an looked at the approaching fleet.
The bamboo pole said, "So what, I still think that it is better to go to Liaodong to be stable, this Central Plains is full of chaos, how do you know when to fight, it is better to go to Liaodong to be more stable." ”
The convoy of troop transports finally sailed into the port, and one ship after another docked.
On board, one soldier after another jumped out of the boat, and then quickly assembled on the pier.
Military flags are waving in the wind.
Under the military flag, a group of loyal troops stood tall and high-spirited.
There's a boat over there.
Zhang Xutuo asked, "Which general led the troops?" ”
Soon he learned that it was Luo Cunxiao who led the Fourth Army of the Zhongwu Army from Lushun Port in Liaodong, with two infantry compartments of 8,000 and one cavalry compartment of 2,000, a full 10,000 horses.
"Didn't the Zhongwu Army still attack the Yuan Clan before?" Zhang Xutuo asked.
"General Luo Shixin has already broken through Buyeo City."
Zhang Xutuo was a little distracted when he heard this, Luo Shixin broke through Fuyu, Luo Cunxiao had crossed the sea to Donglai, it seemed that Luo Chengzhen was going to enter the Central Plains.
