readx;??? Walking out of the gate of his yard, Chen Xiaomao couldn't help but look around. He remembered that in the past few years, it was full www.biquge.info of villagers, tenants, long-term workers, and short-term workers, and at this time they would carry farm tools from the village gate to the fields to take care of the fields, and those farm tools were often wooden hoes and pickaxes.

However, many places in the stockade are now empty, and since the people arrived here last year, at first the people in the vicinity still ran to his stockade, trying to escape the pirates. As a result, since Zhang Rusong contacted the two sides to reconcile, it turned out to be fine. Not only did the people not leave, but they built a small city in the place where they landed with great fanfare, and with the tacit approval of the county commander Zhou Jinfeng, the common people could even go to the place where those pirates worked.

Naturally, at the beginning, there was definitely no one who went to Dongfang Port to do odd jobs, after all, in everyone's concept, these people were all pirates, and in the battle of An Yun's counterattack against the pirates, many villagers sent out by the village were captured alive or dead, and for a while, the image of these people spread to be blue-faced and fanged, and they could stop crying at night. But after a while, the people released a lot of captured villagers. Some of these villagers were wounded in the battle, and some were even fatally wounded, worse than the wounded who fled back and died. This is not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is that their return is not to return to their original life and continue to work as tenants in the landlord's Zhuangzi, but to come back to pack up their only things, take their families and go to the cast, before leaving, they even mobilized their relatives and friends to go with them.

At first, these people's throwing did not arouse Chen Xiaomao's vigilance at all, it was nothing more than that these people were bewitched in the thief camp. Throwing thieves has often happened in An Yun in the past, but the only thing he thinks is strange is that they actually took their wives and children to join the thieves, it is understandable that these thieves want women, what do they want children for? For a while, rumors arose, what kind of thief and demon confuse the public, to use children to refine essential oil to refine demon methods, those sailless and oar-free iron boats must be driven by demon methods, and those demon cars that run faster than horses without cows and horses are naturally the same.

Chen Xiaomao had already noticed the strangeness of this group of people since then, and this group of people was definitely not pirates. Although he is only in his thirties, he has really seen a lot of pirates, when have you ever seen a pirate who has clearly won the battle against the official army and the village brave, but still sells safe silver everywhere to rob houses? He also had his own village bravery, and sent out to attack a tenant who was released and came to resign to him directly, thanking him for his continued care, and taking the woman and the child with him. He also inquired carefully, and it turned out that not only did this group of people not exchange them for ransom or anything, but it was not a problem to eat or anything, and each person could have a small fish in addition to food. The people also spoke, a large number of important people, people want, come to work and count the wages, and the children can also eat enough.

This made Chen Xiaomao flash a strange feeling, it is not a bad thing that these people are not pirates, but it is not necessarily a good thing to admit the poor in this way, it seems that their demand for population is not at all, as many as they want, I heard that they also taught them to read and write - what is the use of a group of poor mud legs to read and write? Could it be that they should go to the Xiucai exam together? If such a large number of displaced people were to be accommodated, Annam would surely become a gathering place for displaced people, and not only would the price of food skyrocket, but the concentration of the population would also cause epidemics such as plague to run rampant.

However, the experience of this multi-year tragedy has not been realized in the people, and there has not been a single epidemic among the common people under the jurisdiction of the people, and any plague and malaria or something seems to have disappeared in the territory of the people. Occasionally, he can often see the people in his original village building roads in the labor team of the people, not only did not become thinner because of long-term labor, but became much stronger, and his face was full of self-confidence, which made him feel like two people in his memory. It turned out that the men mainly worked in the labor team, and the women worked in the textile factory, and the children went directly to the school, and then they could go directly to the factory to work after leaving the school. The monthly salary ranges from one tael to two taels, and if the husband and wife are together, it is three or four taels. In order to get this news, he lost several short-term workers, and the short-term workers knew about the treatment of the people, so they went straight to the house, and did not even return to the village. Anyway, the short-term workers don't have any money at hand, almost all of them are alone, except for the tattered clothes on their bodies, they are really penniless. It wasn't until one day later that his cousin personally went to find out the truth, and even his cousin almost threw himself into the house, because a small leader of the people told his cousin that his kind of person who can read and write and settle accounts has a higher salary in the people, and he can reach more than two taels a month, and you must know that Chen Xiaomao only gives his cousin twenty taels a year, which is already a very high salary in An Yun's local area. Now Chen Xiaomao was stunned, one or two pieces of silver is enough for ordinary people to eat for three or five months in the local area, will this people's silver give birth to small silver? Even if you can give birth to a little silver, you can't spend it so inappropriately.

To say that he was a little strange before, now what comes out is a sense of vigilance, such a high salary can impress people even if it is placed in an ordinary small household, not to mention that children can go to school for free. Although I heard that what is taught is not something or something like that, but something like "Bo Po Demon Buddha De Tele". Since even small households can be attracted to the cast, soon the problem of displaced people, which has long been the most troublesome problem for An Yun, will completely disappear, and it will evolve into the other extreme of headaches - no one can be hired.

Sure enough, not long ago, when the people were collecting food, he saw this embarrassing situation for himself, and he couldn't even find someone to send food to the people. At present, there are only 61 households and 270 people left in his village, and not only can he not find long-term and short-term workers to cultivate the fields he has worked hard for many years, but even the long-term workers he has hired are trying to quit his job and go to work. For this reason, he also took advantage of the grain sale to talk to several big leaders in the Yanren, saying that the Senate had already collected ninety percent of the Anyun refugees to Dongfang Port at this time, and the current Anyun big households could not recruit people, and they were afraid that their few pieces of land would be uncultivated.

Sun Wenbin was nearby at the time to inspect the quality of grain, and when he heard that a VIP customer was discussing the sale of grain in large quantities, he also ran over. You must know that the Senate is most worried about the soaring price of grain, generally a region is affected by a disaster, often the price of grain will soar, and although the port of the East has not been affected, the number of naturalized people has grown too fast, and food has become a great constraint. The supply of grain directly stuck the size of the population under the jurisdiction of the Senate, and the size of the population directly limited the speed of infrastructure construction in the port of Vostochny, and the longer it dragged on, the more unexpected difficulties could occur -- this was the case with both the southern barbarians and the northern invasion and the defense of the port of the east. Fortunately, the food supply in Dongfang Port belongs to the standard planning system, each person is rationed how much grain is consumed per month, and each naturalized citizen has a small book, and there is a ration of how many meals a meal, which does not cause food shortages, let the population grow in a planned way, and does not let food prices skyrocket. However, due to the invasion of the south and the north, the grain supply channel in the south has been completely cut off, and it is impossible to resume grain production in a short time, so Dongfang Port has no choice but to collect grain from An Yun.

Hearing Chen Xiaomao's complaints, Sun Wenbin suddenly came up with an idea, proposing that the Ministry of Agriculture of the Senate contract all of Chen Xiaomao's land, and give Chen Xiaomao 50 percent of the income according to the harvest of that year. This proposal made Chen Xiaomao unable to refuse, you must know that no one asks for food when the government collects grain every year, it is all silver, even if you pay the grain, it is all food consumption in various names, at least you have to eat one percent of the grain you hand over. If the beard man can guarantee that he can get at least two hundred taels, it is not bad, anyway, no one cultivates his own field at the moment, and the short-term workers and tenants in his family are almost all gone, and the remaining long-term workers are only three or two kittens, and when the expiration is due, it will be sooner or later to cast the beard, it is better to be the first to eat crabs, and give all their fields to these people. At least when the people collected the grain, they never played any dirty tricks such as piling up the tip, not to mention that it was two of the five leaders of the people who talked to them about it, so they signed the contract happily.

But since the man contracted his land, he didn't pay much attention to it, and just after the New Year, there was a "Ji Shuyuan" of the people-obviously not fat at all, not round at all, just like the so-called round old man he had seen, not round and not old, completely unworthy of the name. This technical circle took four or five apprentices to go around the field for three or four days and then left, during which they only took some soil from some fields that were not very yielding, pulled some straw stalks, and returned to the port of the East, and I don't know what they were doing. The rainy season is coming soon, and the time to plant rice is simply close at hand, but there is no movement at all, and Chen Xiaomao can't bear it anymore. Although the man promised him that he would earn at least two hundred taels of silver this year, these people were still thieves, and they still came from overseas across the sea. Although he keeps saying that he is of the same language and the same species as himself, aren't the pirates and thieves also of the same language and species as himself? Even if there is a contract, if these people suddenly retreat overseas one day, and they don't plant in this land, where can they ask for money? You can't pick up a rock to hit the sky, right?

Chen Xiaomao walked all the way down the potholed path to the avenue built by the people, although this avenue is also a dirt road, but why is it completely different from the dirt road of his own village? There are no potholes, and there is no grass growing everywhere, it extends straight from Dongfang Port, and extends towards An Yun City, and the width is quite suitable, and the four large cars in parallel will not cause trouble. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look back at the road that stretched from the gate of his village, crooked, full of rut marks and footprints, and overgrown with weeds. At first glance, it looks almost indistinguishable from the ridges of your field. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, looked up, and saw a banner hanging on the side of the road in the distance, with a row of big characters written on it: "If you want to get rich, build roads first, and protecting roads is the common interest of the people of Anyun." He didn't quite understand what this meant, but this road did bring full convenience to the entire nine villages and eighteen villages of An Yun, at least in the past few months, there have been more and more other villagers in his village. In the past, it would have been chilling to think about passing through the obscured forest paths, not to mention that the port of the Vostochny that we are going to now was a barren beach and jungle covered with sand and gravel a few months ago.

While he was thinking about it, a group of people appeared from the east distance, and Chen Xiaomao looked at it, and it turned out to be a group of people's husbands, leading one person wearing a green cardigan - he knew that it was called the patriarch's clothes, and only the patriarchs had this clothes on the side. These people carried farm tools on their shoulders, hoes, shovels, and pickaxes, and they didn't know where they were going to work. Soon there were more than a dozen carts at the back of the line, pushing many gray cloth bags, bulging with bags, and I don't know what was inside. At the end was followed by a few brick-carrying vehicles, he had no idea what these men were doing here, hundreds of people with farm tools walked in almost uniform steps, singing songs in their mouths,

"There is mud on his body and sweat on his face

For a dream, enter the city and break into the world

Yesterday I was a farmer, and today I am a worker

The new owner of the city is in high spirits

Siblings puffed up their chests

After hardships, I am not afraid of wind and rain

Believe in your own strength and believe in the future

Our lives are just as good as ever

You also miss me, and I also care

Who can't miss home after a busy year

For our parents, for our baby

Also for more high-rise buildings

The brothers and sisters sang the song

Polishing the neon glow with that sweat flower

Believe in your own strength and believe in the future

Our lives are the same."

Chen Xiaomao was stunned when he listened, these people are obviously a group of poor mud legs, and they are the low-level farmers he looks down on the most, how can they all learn to sing after going around to the people? And now seeing their walking and carrying farm tools is simply uniform, to say that in the west of the city in the thousand households, the military households in the thousands of households are not comparable, such a group of people are now singing loudly one by one, full of vigor along the avenue. Chen Xiaomao fixed his eyes and saw that there were quite a few familiar faces among them, and the old man who walked in front was obviously also an acquaintance, the technician he had seen everywhere after the New Year. The technician obviously also saw Chen Xiaomao, who was obviously about to go out in a short outfit, stopped when he walked past him, and then shouted loudly, "Stand!" The men stopped, almost in four neat steps. Then the technician took a few steps forward and nodded to Chen Xiaomao, "Chen Yuanwai, where are you going?" We came to Chenjiazhai for construction, and since we have encountered it, we will not go to the house to bother, and we will start construction next. ”
