Ma Da stick is very tall, and he used to be good at using a big stick, hence the name.

As the deputy of the government army, he also has a nine-rank official rank, and a military cavalry captain. Therefore, his life in this tunzi is good, there are 100 acres of military land, 50 acres of military land, and 50 acres of office land that can be rented.

Since Luo Cheng announced that the soldiers who stayed behind would bring their families to be able to divide the land according to their mouths, Ma Da Bangzi immediately wrote back to his hometown in Qi County, Henan, although he was also a soldier in his hometown, but the soldiers who were new after the Eastern Expedition, at this time the military field of one hundred acres of land was not divided, and it was only divided into thirty acres of land, which was not a good land.

There are wives and children at home, as well as several children, and life is also hard, they used to live on tenants and odd jobs, but now they have dozens of acres of land in the government, and their lives are a little better. But after the Eastern Crusade, there were bandits everywhere, even if Qi County was a little better, but there were often thieves and soldiers, plus the past two years were either floods or droughts, it was really bitter.

If it weren't for Ma Dabang's meritorious service to the East, the family would definitely not have enough to eat by farming.

He sent a letter over, so the whole family came, they came by boat from Donglai, and there was a sailor's boat specially responsible for transporting these Liaodong soldiers and their families.

The family finally crossed the ocean to Liaodong, and Luo Cheng did not break his promise.

The family was all given land, not only Ma Dabang's wife and mother were given 50 acres of land, his four underage children were all given 20 acres of land, and even the two brothers who had already separated from each other Luo Cheng were also given land.

Anyway, there is no shortage of others in Liaodong now, and the population is the most lacking.

If you can come, you are welcome.

Some of these lands were cultivated by the Goguryeo people in the past, some were uncultivated wasteland, and some were poorer slopes, but the amount was not discounted.

Now the three brothers live together, a family of eighteen people, in addition to the more than 100 acres of land of Ma Dabang, his family also got nearly 500 acres of land, although the fertile land is less than 200 acres, but it is enough to surprise.

Not to mention, Ma Dabang also has a Goguryeo concubine, and he also has dozens of acres of land.

After Ma Dabang's wife came over, she saw that there was a Goguryeo woman in the house, and scratched Ma Dabang, but then she didn't make trouble, but she also wanted to open it, since it was required from above, all the government soldiers accepted Goguryeo concubines, and there was no way, besides, Ma Dabang would also coax her, telling her that these concubines were actually helping to farm the land.

After all, he, the Goguryeo concubine, is young and capable of working, and now he is helping his wife to wait for his old mother, and there are seven people in the Goguryeo concubine's family, and the family is now all tenants of his horse and big stick, helping him farm.

The woman was very realistic, and after thinking about it for a long time, she felt that it was indeed such a reason, so she stopped.

The house is quite large, with a log structure and trees cut down from the mountains, and the government soldiers helped each other to build the house. The style of the house is primitive and rugged, but very sturdy.

There is a large fire pit in the house, which can be used for cooking and baking, and there is also a large kang.

Luo Cheng swept all over the house and found that there were still a few pieces of meat hanging on the fire pond being smoked and roasted, which was already smoked and black, and there was still meat on the fire pond, indicating that the life of the soldiers was okay.

"Is there enough food to eat?" Luo Cheng asked.

"Enough, there is a cellar under the house, which not only stores grain, but also some vegetables, enough to eat until the beginning of spring next year." Ma Dabang is very satisfied with the current life.

When he was in the Central Plains, he was just a coolie, but since he joined the army and went to Liaodong, he became an officer in a few years, and now he is a landlord.

In this small tunzi, he is still the head of the tun, a family of eighteen, plus seven concubines, more than 20 people in this big family.

Even though the snow is freezing outside, he often goes out to look around, just to see his land, and often discusses with his wife on the kang that when spring begins, he will take good care of the wheat planted this autumn, and he must hurry up and turn over the rest of the land and plant wheat and soybeans.

He also plans to buy two more cows to come back and farm the land.

Luo Cheng said with a smile, "If you have food at home, don't panic in your heart, just have food to eat." Ma Dabang, tell me about the situation in your tunzi, how many people are there now, how many government soldiers are there, and how many government soldiers have taken over their families, have the land been divided, and they are all divided according to the above regulations, and are there any less points? Also, I heard that a few of the soldiers who left before your tunli left their concubines, how do these people live now, and if they are pregnant, is there anyone who cares? ”

Ma Dabang listened to these questions very carefully, and then answered them one by one.

"Dashuai, we now have a total of thirty soldiers in Tunzi, fifty before, twenty-three left, and twenty-seven left, and then three more were arranged to come over, and thirty people are all subordinate to the nearby Siping Yingyang Mansion·······"

According to Ma Da Bangzi, half of the 30 government soldiers have already brought their families here, and the other half are planning to wait for the spring next year to let their families come over. In addition, among the half of the people who have already received their families, only some of them have brought their whole families like him, and many people have only come to the family to explore the situation first. In addition, some people are planning to call their brother's family next year.

As for the concubines of the soldiers who were not taken away, there are seven here.

Of the four exiled concubines, three Goguryeo concubines, and seven of the remaining concubines, five of them had already remarried other soldiers as concubines or married other immigrants, but two were not married because they were pregnant.

"How are these people living now?" Luo Cheng asked.

Ma Da Bangzi sighed, "These women are also quite pitiful, and we have also sent letters to their husbands, but they have all returned to the Central Plains, and it is impossible to take them back again, and even those women who have been exiled due to rebellion are impossible to take back to the Central Plains." ”

"Our Tunzi is now for everyone to take care of them together, and each family has sent firewood and food regularly, so that they can survive this winter."

This situation is not limited to this tunzi, but is very common.

At the beginning, Luo Cheng gave these government soldiers a sense of belonging here, forcibly gave them land and concubines, and then the emperor issued an edict and recalled 53,000 government soldiers back to the Central Plains.

So a lot of concubines here have been left here, it's okay if they don't have children, anyway, they just remarry, but some people are pregnant with children, but it's troublesome.

It has only been two or three months since they married the soldiers, and some people didn't even realize that they were pregnant when the soldiers left, and now it's almost the New Year, and their stomachs are starting to stand up one by one.

"Mart big stick, you're doing a great job. In any case, these women have to be taken care of, and I have decided that after these women give birth to their children, if they are willing to raise them themselves, the left-behind government will subsidize some money and food every month, and if they are really unable or unwilling to raise them, the left-behind government will also set up a special children's camp to raise them to adulthood. ”

Ma Da scratched his head, "Actually, we have some government soldiers who are willing to raise them." ”

Xiao Hei scolded with a smile, "Aren't you fucking widows who don't want money, and can still help you work when they raise them, and when the child grows up, he is a laborer." ”

Some people do think so, anyway, they are just a slave, and they don't want money.

But Luo Cheng shook his head.

"It's not okay to think like this, no matter what, these children are also the sons of the soldiers of the Central Plains Prefecture, they are not Goguryeo slaves, so we have to treat them well when they are born, they will be born as good people of the Great Sui, not slaves."

"Ma Dabang, you take me from house to house to see these women."

"Hey, okay."
