Chapter 204: Colonization

Washing three, also known as Xisan, is a very important ritual in the birth ceremony of the baby. On the third day after the baby is born, a bathing ceremony is held, and relatives and friends are gathered to wish good luck for the baby, which is called "washing the three days", also known as "three times washing". The intention of "washing three" is, first, to wash away filth and eliminate disasters; The second is to pray for auspiciousness and seek good fortune.

The small county lord of the Feng family, Linglong, the big name Feng Dan, generally speaking, only relatives and friends come to congratulate the three, but the Feng family is not ordinary, it stands to reason that the princess's son will follow the title of the horse, and the daughter basically has no title, at most she will marry a hero, Feng Daiwen's daughter was named the county lord by Li Shimin as soon as she was born, which shows that her holy grace is extraordinary.

Chang'an City is basically honorable, and the officials have come to give a gift, and those who know that their identity is not enough, they leave after giving the gift, and only some high-ranking officials, Xungui stayed to watch the ceremony.

It's funny to say that many Confucian people hate Feng Daiwen, but they have to come, whether it is to please Li Shimin, or to do face work, or almost all of them come.

Many families hate Feng Daiwen for digging up their foundations, but they have to lean on to seek cooperation, the Cui family, who did not cooperate last time, is now almost at the bottom of the second-rate family, this is the end of being abandoned by the Tang Dynasty, everyone who understands knows that Feng Daiwen has made a lot of efforts.

After the ceremony, dozens of nobles and families were invited to the hall of the princess's mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, with the help of the little girl's washing of the three things today, everyone is gathered together, and there are two good news and one bad news to tell you." After Feng Daiwen waited for the next person to serve tea, he spoke.

"Please also ask the governor to make it clear." Lawyer Pei, who was familiar with Feng Daiwen, got up and asked with his fists clenched.

"The first good news, the greenhouse planting was successful last year, everyone knows that now there are more than a part of the seeds, so some people will be distributed, and the family that received the notice from the imperial court also asked to send people to study in Liaoxi.

Just after the end of the autumn harvest in western Liaoning, using the latest method of seeds, the average yield of wheat per mu reached five stones, and rice reached four and a half stones. Feng Daiwen nodded at Lawyer Pei and said loudly.

"Wow! Five stones, four and a half stones! ......" As soon as Feng Daiwen's words fell, the hall exclaimed, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

"Some people may not know what this means, in the past, the yield per mu of rice was three stones, and wheat was four stones, and this is the first season, and the seeds will increase every year in the future!" Feng Daiwen explained.

"Dare to ask the governor, how much grain can be distributed?" An elder of the Zheng family got up and asked with a red face.

"The grain is enough to plant tens of millions of mu, that is to say, in addition to the needs of the people, the imperial court will allocate enough grain for 28 million mu of land to plant, almost every family has it, it's just a little, but next year there will be more, better." Feng Daiwen explained.

"May I ask if the governor can make seeds after the grain is planted?" Another family elder asked.

"It's totally possible, but I don't know if the output will be reduced, after all, this is the first year of promotion, but I can guarantee that every year new grain varieties will be distributed to each family, and they only need to pay according to the general grain price." Feng Daiwen replied.

"Thank you, Governor!" Everyone thanked one after another, after all, every family has land, and the bigger the family, the more land.

"The second good news is that the Tang Dynasty is open to the family, nobles, and merchants to buy and use the power of the captives, but after the purchase, they must be managed and used in accordance with the laws of the Tang Dynasty, and if they cause chaos due to abuse, deduction, etc., they will bear all the consequences.

The so-called people of the Tang Dynasty, including all ethnic groups in the Tang Dynasty, such as the Turkic people, will soon be allowed to join the Tang Dynasty. Feng Daiwen then said a more influential news, of course, this was agreed with Li Shimin.

"Governor, this, in this way, the loss of each family is not small, Governor!" The elder of the Zheng family pleaded.

"First of all, you must understand that this is not a consultation with you, the official is just reminding you first, so that you can calmly arrange, if it is a court decree, if you do not follow it, then the law is unforgiving.

Of course, the imperial court will not let you lose in vain, all domestic slaves are registered and divided, and the land is issued by the imperial court, and you are not manpowered, so you can buy prisoners and hire people. Feng Daiwen said in a firm tone.

"But the Governor, except for the Turks, there are not so many captives to hire?" Lawyer Pei asked suspiciously.

"That's a good question! This is another good news, after a period of time, Datang will have a large number of captives, this time Datang does not need to develop, as long as captives, so there will be enough to sell to everyone. Feng Dewen explained.

"Governor, but where do you want to do it? Can you bring us with you? Xue Yan's eyes lit up and asked.

"This matter will be arranged by the saint and reward the meritorious ministers, and how it will be decided by the saint is mainly to watch the prisoners and farm the land in the past, and there is not much profit.

However, you don't need to be disappointed, let you release the house slaves, also because the population of Datang is too small, and the place will expand in the future, are you still worried that there will be no place to share the profits. Feng Daiwen hinted.

It means that if you have a relationship, you will run Li Shimin's door, there is no relationship and there is no need to be disappointed, the expansion of Datang will not stop, as for being able to understand, these old foxes don't have to worry.

"Excuse me, Governor, what's the bad news?" The elder of the Wang family asked cautiously.

"This matter is so disappointing, the Holy Lord was furious and ordered severe punishment!" Feng Daiwen also said angrily.

"Datang let everyone make a fortune outside the territory, there are actually families who collude with foreigners, evade taxes, and damage the interests of Datang, what is even more daring is that some people are plotting against each other, and they also help the South China Sea tribe train soldiers, according to the severity of the situation, there is a noble family who was beheaded all over the house, three families were removed from the list and demoted to civilians, seven families were punished, and they are not allowed to continue overseas colonization in the future, do you deserve to be severely punished." Feng Daiwen opened his eyes wide and said loudly angrily.

"Kill indeed!" Xue Yan slapped the coffee table and roared angrily.

The other families, whether sincere or false, all showed righteous indignation, one by one swearing loudly.

However, there are many people who really dislike this kind of person, after all, no one who eats inside and outside will like it.

Feng Daiwen raised his hand and pressed it falsely, waiting for everyone to calm down and continued: "I put this forward today in the hope that everyone will take this as a warning and sternly warn the expatriates at home not to cause unwarranted disasters to the family.

I believe that everyone is not short-sighted, and will not sabotage Datang's centennial plan for a little petty profit. ”

"That's, that's, don't worry, please enlighten the saint, in the future, if there is such a problem, we will attack it in groups." The elder of the Zheng family stood up and said.

"Thank you very much!" Feng Daiwen said with satisfaction

Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you
