Chapter 569: Change
"If you want to get rich, you still have to go to the colonies!"
The reason for this is very simple, after the establishment of the empire, in order to encourage people to emigrate to Africa and other overseas colonies, there were many restrictive provisions for immigrants from the Northeast. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEspecially for the three northeastern provinces, the ownerless wasteland is no longer allowed to be exploited by immigrants as in the past, but has been changed to the way of government reclamation, so that the immigrants have become tenants of the government.
Compared to these restrictions in the Northeast. In the African colonies, the granting of immigrants can be said to be extremely rich, and each immigrant can get 200 acres of wasteland free of charge, and in some areas it can be doubled, or even more. The reason why such generous treatment is given is precisely because the colonies of Africa are eager for native immigrants, and they always do everything possible to offer various preferential conditions to attract immigrants. And not just by the exile of the Empire.
It is precisely because of this that there is a world of difference between the Northeast and the overseas colonies, where immigrants are mostly just ordinary farmers, while in the overseas colonies, everyone is likely to become a rich man and a farmer.
If you want to support your family, you can go to the Northeast, if you want to be developed, then there is only one option, that is, overseas colonies, compared with the South Seas or Pacific colonies, the African colonies are undoubtedly the most favorable, and immigrants do not even need to afford ferry tickets.
It is precisely because of this that Jiang Zijie chose the African colony. And not the Tohoku, which is so close at hand. Of course, he couldn't be because of the woman's words. Give up your own decisions.
"Since I'm leaving here, since I want us to live a good life, I can't go to the Northeast, go to the Northeast, just be able to eat enough, go to Africa, but let our family live a good life. Live a good life that no one dares to think of. ”
Jiang Zijie said stubbornly,
"Eat well...... Even if we have enough to eat, and we have sons and grandchildren in the future, will we be able to eat enough with those dozens of acres of land? ”
The dozens of acres he said were the land given to immigrants in the northeast. And it's not gratuitous, it takes immigrants ten years to get it.
But those dozens of acres of land are only enough for a generation to eat, after all, if you have a son in the future, you will have to divide the family after all. A generation will be like he is now, but only barely satisfied.
Maybe Jiang Zhijie has never read any books, but he knows very well that it is not unreasonable that he is rich for only three generations, just like the same ancestor of his grandchildren at the entrance of the village, and the three generations also have more than 100 acres of fertile land in the family. But now I'm only a little better than myself.
The first generation of landlords, the second generation of rich peasants, and after three generations, they are just barely making ends meet! If you encounter a natural or man-made disaster, you may not be as good as yourself.
"Let's, let's not go!"
The woman looked at the man and said loudly.
"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, they live their lives, and they will live their own ...... in the future"
But the woman's words are obviously not convincing, for her, she knows that the reason why men do this is for themselves in the final analysis. In order to make a good life for yourself. Of course, it is also for her son, and she, as a mother, naturally hopes that her son will be able to live a good life in the future.
But she was reluctant to let a man go, and she was reluctant to let her man go to a place where life and death were uncertain.
"Big nephew, did you really decide to go there?"
The neighbor's aunt looked at Jiang Zijie and asked in some surprise. And Jiang Zijie just nodded silently......
The surrounding environment is still the same, from time to time there will always be people bring news about the war, the news of the war, naturally, as the official language "from one victory to another", in short, the victory continues, and for the people in the countryside, the news of the war has no effect on them, the news spreads ten, ten to hundred, and several neighboring villages are also talking about it.
"That lone seedling from Jiangjiazhuang's Jiang Lao Liu's family is going to the colony!"
It was as novel as the children heard their parents talk about it, as if they had heard of a dead man, and the men, even the less daring, would secretly approve of this decision, and of course not all of them would approve of it, and for the old people, they would obviously not be able to accept it.
"People are cheap when they leave their hometowns, and things are expensive when they leave their hometowns. This is all an old saying, that drama is just a thing of the government and the people, it can't be true, if there is really a developed colony, why didn't I see the two dogs, the three Liangzi and they came back......"
The old people said so, but not many people took them seriously, but there were many young people who wanted to go to the colony like Jiang Zhijie, after all, they all knew that there was no hope of guarding those few acres of land in this village, but who could make up their minds?
Although the government and newspapers have repeatedly declared how good and good it is to go to the colony, but for people, the colony is too far away, and not everyone dares to take this risk, except for the second-rate people who were forcibly exiled, and there are some bold people who are willing to go, and for them, these people are always too far away, but Jiang Zhijie, who has land and houses at home, is still the first person in several neighboring villages to take the initiative to colonize.
Soon, an aura full of reverence and curiosity for Jiang Zhilan surrounded his whole person, and from the moment he decided to go to the colony, many people in the village were impressed with him, and people looked at him in a different light, and were surprised to find that he was not the same as before, and he himself put on a proud look, full of smiles, and his demeanor became more stable.
Even the tone of his speech was different, and again, when he met a few cousins in the village, the cousin asked him.
"Lao Jiu, what are you going to go?"
"Wait, I'll leave when things are done, I've already signed up in the county."
Now the ticket to the colony can be paid by the government, and then work to pay it back after arriving in the colony, in short, there are all kinds of conveniences, not to mention that for the county, he is still a "voluntary immigrant" who takes the initiative to go, and there are very few in a county.
"Lao Jiu, you can go with confidence, there are a few of our brothers at home, the work in the field will definitely not tire your mother-in-law's ......"
It seems that at this moment, all the relatives looked at Jiang Zhijie with a reverent eye, and people took the initiative to share their worries and solve problems for him, for these people, the current Jiang Zhijie is like a scholar who went to Beijing to take the exam in the past, and he may be named on the gold list at any time, and when the time comes, he will naturally become famous, and for them, when he is successful, he will naturally not forget the help his relatives gave him.
For the colony, the Chinese people are strange and familiar now, the reason why they are strange is because a few years ago, none of them have heard that term, the reason why they are familiar is because they always hear about the colony, hear who has made a fortune there, in the storyteller's book, the colony seems to have innumerable wealth, there is a place flowing with gold, where as long as you are willing to work, it will soon be prosperous, and you will hunt an elephant in your spare time, Two tusks are enough to turn a poor bastard into a rich man with dozens of dollars.
The colony is like a gold ingot full of temptation, so in front of everyone, but who dares to take the initiative to go to the colony? For the vast majority of ordinary people, they just look at all this with envy, they just listen to the stories of getting rich, but they don't dare to take the initiative to take the first step, but they are also eager for money, eager to get rich, and eager for a change of fate.
Moving to a foreign land in order to make a fortune is something that many people only dream about, but never think about what they will do, and everyone who wants to make a fortune pins their hopes on the colonies.
Colony, though many people don't know it is there, is a fascinating word that has created an eternal magic in China over the past few years, evoking visions of hope, a dazzling array of gold and silver treasures, and a yearning for a better life.
In many rural villages, people who spend their days faltering for three meals a day always dream of finding hope in that distant country and turning their current impoverished life into abundance. This kind of thought is hidden in everyone's heart, like a small insect that can't be driven away, constantly stirring in the depths of people's hearts, even the most greedy for the countryside.
In the past, people only fantasized, but now, in the face of all kinds of colonial legends, people seem to have found a kind of sustenance, they seem to see a hope, see a possibility.
But, like all things, he had its own fascinating and frightening places, and the colonies were tens of thousands of miles away, and in the first place anyone who wanted to go to the colony would have to travel for months across the sea, even the most daring of the storms and all the legends of the sea would have been discouraged.
They couldn't even figure out why, but as soon as they went to the colony together, the fear of danger would arise, and the storms, the shipwrecks, and the hardships of running around in a foreign land discouraged everyone, after all, it was a life-and-death journey, and as for them, they believed it.
It takes a lot of courage to overcome this fear, which is not possessed by everyone, and because of this, only a very small number of people are willing to go to the colony on their own initiative, and for the vast majority, even if they have a desire to get rich, but that desire does not overcome the dangers they face.
So, the vast majority of people, just watching, thinking, and now, there is a person they know, who is going to the colony, going there to get rich, how can they not be excited, they are excited because they believe that if he can get rich, then everything in the colony is real, and when the time comes, they will rush to the colony to change their fate.
It is precisely because of this that people will look at Jiang Zhijie with respect!
A few days later, Jiang Zhijie came to the train station surrounded by his family and relatives and friends, in this humble country station, Jiang Zhijie seemed a little excited, especially when the red light of the train was getting closer and closer, and the steam was getting closer and closer, he turned around and looked at the woman and said.
"Baby, don't worry, I'll definitely come back!"
"That's it, sister-in-law nine, a smart person like Brother Jiu, he will definitely make a fortune there......"
It was Jiang Zhilin who spoke, he was ranked thirteenth according to the ranking, after Jiang Zhijie decided to go to the colony, he was also jealous of his courage like many people, but unlike others, after several considerations, he was only nineteen years old, and he also followed Jiang Zhilin to make the same decision - to go to the colony.
"I don't want to wait until my 30s to get married......"
For Jiang Zhilin, his idea is very simple, that is, to earn money and marry a wife, instead of working hard for half a lifetime to save enough money to marry a wife like his father, grandfather and the brothers around him, that kind of life is not what he is willing to live, and Brother Jiu's decision gives him courage and the courage to put aside everything.
"Lao Jiu, Thirteen follow you, he is young and ignorant, you have to take care of him......"
Jiang Chuan looked at his young son and said to Jiang Zhijie distressedly.
"Da Linzi, when you get there, you have to listen to your ninth brother for everything, you know if you don't ......"
For him, although he has not left his hometown yet, his heart has flown to Qingdao and the colony, and for him, there is only one place left in his heart now - that is the vast colony.
"Sixth uncle, don't worry, I will definitely take thirteen, thirteen has strength, you will be waiting to enjoy happiness in the future......"
Jiang Zhijie said to the sixth uncle, in fact, he has no score in his own heart for the future......
The train finally entered the station, but everyone still seemed to have something to say, and at the end, everyone specially asked them, the bag of soil in their hometown can be brought, if the water and soil are not adapted, pinch some soil and soak it in water, it can be cured, and the rules and traditions of thousands of years have not changed.
Finally, Jiang Zhijie got on the train, he stood at the door of the carriage, looking clumsy, looking like he had never seen the world, dragging a package and squeezing at the door of the third-class carriage, after a while, his figure appeared at the window, looking at the woman outside the window through the window, and the son held by the woman, looking at the pockmarked face of the woman, he only felt a sour in front of him, but he did not cry, but stood there and said.
"Don't worry, I'll come back alive......"
When Jiang Zhijie said this, he saw the woman crying and shouted at him crying.
"I'll wait for you, I'll wait for you to come back, I'll wait for you for the rest of my life, I'll wait for ......"
This is like an oath between two people, the woman hugged her son, crying loudly, and the ignorant child also cried, at this moment, Jiang Zhijie couldn't control his tears anymore, and tears flowed.
"I'll be back, I'll definitely be back!"
The train started, and slowly the train station was left behind, and the people in the train station were ......
