The clansmen of Beiling packed up their things very quickly, after all, most of them were poor people in the mountains, and they didn't have those valuable belongings, so they were all thinking about how to go to Linyuan with the descendants of the Yang family, Dalang, and these military clansmen.

As a result, more than 200 people of the tribe migrated only on the fourth day after Yangxiong and others returned to their hometowns.

The mountain road is rugged and the road is bumpy, but the interest of the tribesmen is very high, and some people simply sing mountain songs.

The old patriarch sat on the cart, and there were mostly the futons of the villagers below, and the big car behind was sitting on Yangxiong's mother, and the old patriarch also said: "Yangxiong's mother, you are a blessed person, I know that Yangxiong must not be looking for food in the mountains!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiong Niang naturally smiled out of a chrysanthemum with wrinkles on her face, and in recent days, because of Yang Xiong's return, I don't know if it was a blessing at home, or after eating the herbs brought back by Da Lang, Yang Xiong Niang's complexion looked much better.

"It's Qi'er's good fortune, she is prosperous in our family!" Yang Xiongniang replied.

The old patriarch also looked at his granddaughter, yes, it is enough to have a grandson-in-law!

A group of people walked through the rugged mountain road, that is, down the plain, usually the people in the Beiling Mountains go down the mountain to the direction of Shuyang City, but today it is a fold, to Jianyang...... No, now it's time to call Lin Yuan.

On the water, a pontoon bridge several zhang wide has been built, although in autumn, the water is not strong, but the old people who were originally sitting in the car have come down.

As soon as he entered the north shore, Yang Xiong originally asked the old patriarch to sit in the cart, but the old patriarch waved his hand and wanted to walk by himself with a cane.

"What a crop!"

As soon as they went to the north bank, the clansmen were all around, and the fields on the north bank of the river were originally mostly the fields of the Hao clan in Shuyang, but after the bandits in Jianyang, it fell into the hands of His Royal Highness the Sixth Son, and it was also one of the earliest divided lands.

"Old patriarch, you see, the crops here are all good at farming!" Uncle Liu, a clansman, put down his burden and walked to the field.

When the old patriarch heard this, he walked to the field with a cane, squatted down, and then touched the ground with his hand.

Yang Xiong walked over and asked, "What's going on?!" ”

The old patriarch replied: "It's a good way to farm the land, and if you dig the ground so deep, the fertility in the soil will come up, and there will be a good harvest next year!" ”

Yang Xiong smiled and replied: "Old patriarch, this is not a mile dug by a plow, it is a cow ploughing, there are a lot of ploughing cattle in Shanglin Garden, they help plow the flat and rake behind them, a cow can plough hundreds of acres of land a day, much faster than people digging!" ”

"Cattle ploughing?!"

The clansmen were surprised, and they raised their heads and looked at the fields, the fields under these four places were like this, and the old patriarch could not imagine that this was something that people could dig out.

After thinking about it, the old patriarch became very interested in this cattle farming.

Liu Du, a fellow villager in the back, also said with a smile: "The big guy is in a hurry, our land is no worse than this, and the eldest brother can choose a good place to settle down for the clan!" ”

Hearing the urging, everyone also took up the basket again and pulled up the cart.

Yang Xiong also said: "Our township is still thirty or forty miles away from here, and the sky is about to darken, so let's hurry up and go at night!" ”

The fellow villager replied: "Brother Yang, you don't need to rush to the night, the village of the Chuluan guy from the Shuyang clan is not far ahead!" ”

Chu Luan?

Hearing this name, Yang Xiong also smiled, and then responded: "Okay, I won't be in a hurry tonight, eat and sleep well tomorrow morning before I go on the road!" ”

Chuluan's Zhuangzi is indeed not three or four miles ahead, this guy is Yang Xiong's comrade, and he was also awarded the title of "elite", he has participated in the Huaiyang Water Bandit War, the Thorn Yang Bandits, and Yingyang Cang grabbed grain, and Yang Xiong, who was also from the same background, is a sworn brother.

In the distance, Chu Luan heard that his fellow Yangxiong's clansmen were coming, so he ordered the hundred-man team under his command and rushed over on horseback.

The old patriarch was awakened by this movement, and his eyes were fixed on a general who was riding a tall horse leading the soldiers, and he was about to get out of the cart and salute.

Liu Du asked: "Old patriarch, what are you nervous about, that person is the sworn brother of our eldest brother, who came to pick us up!" Speaking of which, in the army, our big brother Yang wants to suppress him! ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the people softened slightly.

After Yang Xiong introduced Chu Luan to the old patriarch, Chu Luan was the junior salute and let the soldiers under him take over the bags of the Yangxiong people.

When he came to Chuluan Village, Yang Xiong also asked: "You also took the villagers over!" ”

Chu Luan replied with a smile: "The countryside is a tenant in Shuyang, it is better to bring Shanglin Yuan, and everyone is allocated ten acres of land, at least they can eat enough!" ”

After walking for more than ten zhang, Yang Xiong also looked at it: "Hey, I said Chu Luan, you are really not slow, I have only been gone for a few days, and you have transported this cement back and built more than a dozen big houses?!" ”

Chu Luan smiled and said: "Brother, I didn't use my power for personal gain, the villagers also wanted to have a house for themselves, so they went to Zhongyang Mountain to pull it back, at most I borrowed some big cars!" ”

Qi'er in the back supported Yang Xiongniang, and in front was his grandfather, the old patriarch looked around and said curiously: "It will actually be a stone-walled house!" ”

The villagers also crossed the water, all the way to be surprised, what is this on the forest garden looks really fresh, the ground is so beautiful, the house is also so good-looking!

Yang Xiong and Chu Luan were in front, and the task of this explanation fell on the soldiers of the same clan, Liu Bo knocked on the head of his son Liu Du and said, "You talk to the big guys!" ”

Liu Du explained indignantly: "This is called cement, and it is also a special product of Shanglin Yuan, and our house will also be built with this, which is much stronger than the earthen wall of my hometown!" ”

"Don't want food for it?!" Uncle Liu asked.

Liu Du found self-confidence, usually his own Lao Tzu drank and drank by himself, this time when he went home, he felt that his status in the family had risen significantly, and in the past, Lao Tzu decided to ask his opinion, for example, this move, Liu Du was in charge.

Thinking of this, Liu Du stiffened his back and said: "Dad, how can you spend your old man's food, this cement is the military salary of several of us, and ordinary people can't exchange it for food!" ”

"You're really good!" Uncle Liu said the same.

"That's it! Later, Dad, take a look at the house of Chu Luan, your son's house doesn't have to be worse than him, it is all the house of [elite soldiers]! ”

"Say you're fat and you're still panting, you have someone who has a big house?! They didn't say anything! Uncle Liu also scolded his son.

Hearing this, Liu Du stalked his neck and didn't say anything, indeed, compared to Yang Xiong, he is indeed nothing.

The houses under the four are all houses, the land in the village is flat, and outside the village is the fertile field, bamboo forest and river pool, everyone is either building houses or plowing the land in the fields and irrigating.

Chu Luan's house is in the middle of the township, and there is a cement road one zhang wide from the entrance of the village to the main entrance of his house.

When I arrived at Chuluan's house, many villagers opened their eyes, the village was full of stone walls, and the ground in the courtyard was paved with cement surface.

Liu Du's son, Uncle Liu, stepped on the ground and felt the hardness of the ground, so he grabbed Liu Du, who was carrying the burden behind him, and asked, "Son, your house is like this?!" ”

Liu Du naturally felt the surprise in Lao Tzu's words, and replied angrily at the moment: "You can see it tomorrow, can you still have a fake?!" ”

Liu Du put down the burden, and then grabbed his father's sleeve and said: "There is a lot of food in here, although you can eat it with confidence!" ”

"You little cub, there are more than 200 people in our clan, and we won't eat the brother of your poor brother!"

"How could it! It's okay, there is food, I definitely won't mind, Brother Yang arranged the clansmen in front, I'll go and help him, Daddy, stay here! ”

After speaking, Liu Du walked towards the direction where Yang Xiong was.

……

After a while, Chu Luan just asked people to bring up the table and prepare the meal, there was fish and meat, and the rice was enough.

Originally, the old patriarch wanted to leave some food as compensation, but he was pushed down by Yang Xiong, saying that his brother didn't have to be polite.

The old patriarch didn't eat well, but seeing that Chu Luan and Yang Xiong were very happy with each other, the old patriarch also slowly put his mind at ease.

In the evening, the Beiling people arranged to rest in the courtyard of Chuluan Zhuangzi, Yangxiong and Chuluan met and talked for a long time, and only came back late at night.

"It's back......"

As soon as Yang Xiong entered the door of the courtyard, he heard someone asking, and when he looked up, it was the old patriarch sitting at the stone table.

"Old patriarch, why don't you sleep yet?!" Yang Xiong asked.

"Wait for you, Qi'er and your second brother have already slept, Dalang...... The countryside you want to take your people to is the same?! The old patriarch asked.

"Hmm!" Yang Xiong nodded.

Hearing this answer, the old patriarch slowly stood up, walked back to the house where he lived, and also turned around and said: "When you leave here tomorrow, leave some food for the master's family, this year, no one is rich, friendship is friendship, and it should be counted ......."

Hearing this, Yang Xiong nodded, he understood the thoughts of this old patriarch, this is an old patriarch with principles in his heart.

The next morning, Yang Xiong rushed to his new place of residence with his people.

Early in the morning, Yang Xiong asked Liu Du to rush back to the village to report that he had returned safely.

Not far away, Yang Xiong saw Feng Ci, the chief secretary of Shangshu Mansion, rushing over, this is the official sent by Shangshu Mansion to divide the land in various places, and before Yang Xiong returned to Beiling to pick up the people, he handed this place over to Feng Ci to take care of.

"Central ...... Yang Baili. ”

Yang Xiong knew that Feng Ci had a stutter, so he also accosted himself: "Master Feng, I have come back, and there are more than 200 clansmen, and there is Lao Feng's master book to be properly settled." ”

The old patriarch in the back finally saw an official, and he also asked Qi'er to hold a broken bamboo slip, and stepped forward to Feng Ci and said, "Old Liu Xuan, I have seen the official." ”

Seeing this, Feng Ci waved his hand and said, "The Liu family...... Patriarch, no...... Need not...... So. ”

Liu Xuan raised his head, only to realize that this official actually had a stutter.

Yang Xiong took Qi'er's bamboo slips, and also said to Feng Ci: "Master Feng, here is the household registration of more than 200 of my clansmen, which has been divided according to the new household system of Xinxin, a total of more than 40 households, please accept the main book." ”

Feng Ci nodded, because it was a stutter, he didn't say anything, and arched his hand to Yang Xiong and the old patriarch Liu Xu, inviting them back to the village.

After a short time, the old patriarch was the first to step into the village on crutches, Qi'er held him, and next to him was Yang Xiong.

Yang Xiong nodded, and thanked Feng Ci beside him: "It's better than what I said, thank you Feng Master Book!" ”

"No...... Use. Feng Ci waved his hand.

After a while, Feng Ci's assistant came over, Feng Ci nodded to him, and handed the book in his hand that recorded the Beiling people to the assistant.

After a glance, the official said to Yang Xiong: "Yang Baifu, the manpower is limited, but the soldiers of the Wuyang Army built a big house. ”

Yang Xiong nodded, he also knew about this matter, although he now has some reputation in the Wuyang Army, but he has not yet reached the step of special precepts.

"It doesn't matter, the house is enough to live in, and the rest is built by our villagers!"

When the official heard this, he also nodded.

Later, Liu Du also took the lead, and said to his father: "Dad, you take your mother, little sister and eldest brother's family to see my house, which is a stone wall and a yard!" ”

Seeing this, Yang Xiong also explained to Feng Ci: "Master Feng, because the house has not yet been built, now it can only be squeezed into the house of a few of our Wuyang military clansmen, you can rest assured, the household registration has been divided, and the clansmen are also sealed, and when the new house is built, we will definitely divide the house according to the new household system!" ”

Feng Ci heard this, nodded, or the assistant official next to him replied for him: "Yang Baifu, don't get in the way, is it a special period, I took a look at the household registration you wrote before you left, it is almost the same as the one in this book, the land has been divided, your land is three hundred acres, and there is another wife in the family, which is set at three hundred and ten acres, as for the reward in the military merit book, it will definitely be divided before the New Year." ”

"What about my mother and younger brother?!" Yang Xiong also asked.

"Lingtang and his younger brother have a separate household, a total of twenty acres, and their fields and centurion you rely on."

"Hmm...... Thank you to the bookkeeper and the assistant. Yang Xiong nodded, the new household system is like this, he has no choice, Yang Xiong has already decided to leave the courtyard of his house alone, leaving his mother and younger brother to live, which is also convenient to take care of.

Yangxiong is the place where the clansmen are arranged.

At that moment, Liu Du's father, Uncle Liu, and other family heads who had joined the army also came to the old patriarch's side and asked, "Old patriarch, ...... of us"

Seeing that they wanted to speak and stopped, the old patriarch still didn't understand anything, so he waved his hand and said: "The nephew in the family is promising, it's okay for you to go and take a look, but let's have a meal at Yang Dalang's house in the evening......"

"Good ......" everyone also responded, and then went to see their own house with the children and nephews who joined the army.

Yang Xiong turned his head and just saw a gloom in the old patriarch's eyes, and said at the moment: "Old patriarch, go, go and see, you have to arrange for others to settle down!" ”

The old patriarch nodded, and walked away with Yang Xiong.

Before entering the house, Yang Xiong asked the old patriarch's opinion: "Old patriarch, take a look, this village is just around the digging of a circular canal, our village is built around this canal, when the house of each family is surrounded by a large courtyard, surrounded by a deep canal, the courtyard wall of each family is formed a high wall, no matter what kind of bandits, or wild things, we don't open the village gate, but also don't want to come in!" ”

The old patriarch nodded, and then said, "Well, that's good. ”

The clansmen stay in the Beiling Mountain, and often encounter bandits or wild things entering the village, the adults are not afraid, but the children and the elderly are more worried.

Entering the courtyard, the old patriarch looked around, originally thought that the Chu Luan Mansion he saw yesterday was already okay, but he didn't expect that this Yangxiong's house was better than Chu Luan's house!

This courtyard is still bigger than Chu Luan's house, there is a row of side rooms on the east and west sides, and a side door is opened in the middle of the east and west walls, which seems to be another courtyard.

The hall in the middle is open to the south, and the hall door is still more than ten zhang away from the main gate of the house.

"Uncle Liu's son said that Yang Dalang's house is bigger than our village, I still don't believe it...... I saw it today and realized that it was true, this one front yard alone occupies most of the village! ”

This is what a woman of the tribe says.

A team of soldiers dressed in leather armor walked out of the courtyard and walked towards Yangxiong, and the chief at the front said, "Centurion, you are back." ”

Yang Xiong nodded, and said, "You arrange for my clan to live in this front yard, and things must be arranged." ”

"Whoa!" Shi Chang answered.

When the old patriarch saw this scene, he smiled a little.

Qi'er swept the house and asked Yang Xiong, "Da Lang, is this our house?!" ”

Yang Xiong smiled: "It's all moved in, so can it be fake?!" ”

Qi'er's face was happy, so she walked to herself and asked Yang Xiongniang and her grandfather: "Grandpa, mother, you have been on the road for so long, do you want to rest." ”

"Good ......" Yang Xiongniang responded directly, and it was indeed a hundred miles away, which was indeed a little unbearable for her.

The old patriarch waved his hand, looked at Yang Xiong and said, "I'm not tired, Da Lang, you accompany me to the field to have a look!" ”

Yang Xiong replied: "Okay, the clansmen's fields are all together!" ”

……

The old patriarch was on crutches, and Qi'er and his father followed after speaking, but he was rejected by the old patriarch, saying that Yang Xiong is here, what else do you have to worry about.

Therefore, it was Yang Xiong who followed the old patriarch to the field.

In the field, the old patriarch saw the soldiers who used oxen to plough, and looked at the deep soil, and the old patriarch seemed to smell the aroma of the soil.

Yang Xiong remembered that when the old patriarch was young, he also had a field property with his clansmen, and he must have been excited when he saw this Lian Qianmo's field.

"I'm afraid there are more than 3,000 acres of land here, right?!" The old patriarch asked.

"Well, it's about 3,200 acres, but there are still soldiers in the village, and the military merit book is calculated before the end of the year, and the government can help reclaim a lot of wasteland for farming."

"Well...... the old patriarch nodded, and said: "I have calculated, there are forty or fifty juniors in the village who are eligible to serve in the army, and you also said that if you can't be a regular army, you can also be a reclamation army, which is much better than staying at home!" ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiong also said: "Now Shanglin Yuan is a tithe field tax, but if there is a soldier in the family, it is tithe, twenty taxes one, and thirty taxes one, so it is a lot more cost-effective." ”

"Oh, the field tax is actually only tithes, I remember that at that time, the tenants helped others to farm and there was no harvest of one percent, and the field tax in Shuyang was still tithes, right?"

"Hmmm."

"I just looked, this place is not far from the water, just enough to dig a canal in winter, and wait for next spring to grow food, I'm afraid that the tribesmen will no longer have to starve or exchange their lives for food in the coming year." The old patriarch raised his head and looked at the sky, and slowly said to Yang Xiong: "I always feel that this is about to change the sky......

"yes......"

Yang Xiong nodded, he chose this land as the village, because he took a fancy to this piece of land approaching the water, and the Shangshu Mansion had already released the news, which would lead the water to dig a ditch that would be inserted into the forest garden to connect to the Tang River, and at that time, the land would be irrigated without worry for hundreds of miles in a radius of the forest garden.
