Chongzhen four years, between March.

The sky in the north is still a little gray, the ice and snow have just melted, and for Li Zicheng, everything has just begun. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Uncle, let's go!"

Li Guo, the nephew on the side, reminded Li Zicheng, who still had some souvenirs on the side, that for the young Li Guo, everything that was coming was full of freshness.

However, it is said that since the second year of Chongzhen, northern Shaanxi has been dry, although the imperial court exempted the taxes of the whole province of Shaanxi, and gave some relief, but after all, it was a little inadequate.

For the young and middle-aged people in the brigade, only by leaving this native place can they usher in a better life, and Li Zicheng is obviously one of them.

In the first year of Chongzhen, the post station reform, Li Zicheng lost his job, and later joined the army in Ganzhou, which thought that corruption was rife in the army, so it caused a mutiny, just at this time, Shaanxi Wang Jiayin raised troops, Li Zicheng wanted to lead the people to defect.

And at this time, the emperor sent Sun Chuanting to supervise the three sides and train an extremely powerful army - Qin Wei Army!

And at the same time, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty ordered that Shaanxi be exempted from taxes for one year, and an additional relief silver tael, and Sun Chuanting shouted the slogan.

for the good people, to give relief; Those who are willing to be thieves will be killed!

Exempt from taxes, and there is relief silver, this naturally no one wants to rebel, and not long after the emperor nationalized the royal fields of the princes such as King Qin and King Qing, in addition to some of the establishment of state-owned farms, the other part is for your people to cultivate, and the government also provides the people with good seeds and cattle for free.

There is land to plant, and there is no need to pay taxes, so naturally no one is willing to follow Wang Jiayin and others to rebel, and soon after the battle of Yulin, Wang Jiayin's peasant army was defeated by Qin Wei's army!

The rebel Wang Jiayin was beheaded, and Shaanxi was at peace.

Naturally, Li Zicheng's dream of defecting to the righteous army was shattered, and when Li Zicheng had no way to go to heaven and was cornered, the imperial court issued a decree, but those who laid down their weapons would not be held accountable for their past mistakes, and at this time, Shaanxi Farm was recruiting, but Li Zicheng took his nephew Li Guo to join Shaanxi Farm.

Because Li Zicheng is motivated, in less than a year, he was promoted to the director of the Hanzhong branch of Shaanxi Farm.

It's just that the drought continued, so Li Zicheng was ordered to lead the entire Hanzhong farm workers and carry thousands of Shaanxi youths to respond to the call of the imperial court, immigrate outside the border, and reclaim the famine!

"Dut....... Toot ......."

At Hanzhong Station, the sound of the train was long, but it made people who had never seen this thing a little curious.

But it is said that in just one year, this Hanzhong to Xi'an, through Xi'an to Taiyuan, and then to Jingshi, into Jizhou, and finally to the railway track outside the Guanwai is completed, of course, this is also the only railway line built in the empire today.

In order to build this railway that runs through the entire Shaanxi, Shaanxi has produced hundreds of thousands of young people, and the imperial court has allocated no less than one million silver taels.

"Uncle, look! Look! This big guy is gurgling, and it's smoking! ”

After all, Li Guo is not very old, so he was naturally very curious when he saw this thing for the first time.

"Hmph, look at your appearance, this is called a train, it was designed and invented by the Imperial Machinery Factory, boy, learn more in the future!"

In fact, Li Zicheng is also the first time to see this thing, but as the director of the Hanzhong branch over the years, there are a few newspapers such as "Imperial Daily" and "Shaanxi Affairs Daily" in his hands every month, because Li Zicheng has read private schools for several years since he was a child, and this newspaper is barely able to read and understand, so he knows about this train.

Of course, Li Zicheng said this, undoubtedly to maintain the dignity of his elder in front of Li Guo, the junior, after all, he is also the head of the Hanzhong branch, and the civil affairs officer who led the team of thousands of people this time, if he doesn't even understand this, it will be a little embarrassing for Li Zicheng.

Boarding the train, although there were some bumps, for Li Zicheng, who was taking this new thing for the first time, he was still a little excited.

And when the train passed by the bustling Jingshi and looked at it from a distance, at this moment, Li Zicheng was a little stunned.

"I don't know when, I, Li Zicheng, will be able to buy a suite in this Beijing division and marry a wife to live a small life!"

The train passed through Jingshi, but stopped at Shunyi Station, not far from Jingshi.

Shunyi Station, as the largest transit station in the Jingwu area, is a crowd of people, businessmen, civilians, and now plus these pioneer farmers from Shaanxi, if it is not for the construction of Shunyi Station when there is a certain consideration, the expansion is huge, I am afraid that the station at this time is not even the foot of the land.

"Uncle, aren't you going to Liaodong? How did it stop here? ”

Regarding the train stopping halfway, Li Guo asked a little puzzled.

"You bastard, let it stop, how can there be so much nonsense, let your uncle and me rest!"

Regarding Li Guo's words, Li Zicheng was dim-eyed, but he was trembling, and then leaned on the stomping grass on the side and squinted his eyes.

However, it is said that the train that Li Zicheng and they took on this trip is a kind of trailer, with two heads, one in front and one behind, and a series of iron boxes hanging in the middle, and of course there will be no seats.

Of course, for most of these people who walk on two legs, this is paradise!

"Who's in charge here? Who is in charge here? ”

At this moment, a person outside the car was holding a big horn and kept calling, to say that this horn is actually just a tin shell made into a horn, but this thing is a regular configuration in this station.

"Uncle! Uncle, I've called you, I've called you! ”

Regarding the shouting outside the car, Li was too busy and pushed Li Zicheng on the side.

"Panic!"

Li Zicheng patted Li Guo's head, but he stretched his waist, got up and patted the straw ash on his body, jumped out of the car, and arched his hand.

"Li Zicheng, the manager of the Hanzhong branch of the Lower Shaanxi Farm, I don't know what this adult has summoned!"

In the face of the person who suddenly appeared in front of him, he was burly, and he was an official position of the imperial court (the provincial state-owned state-owned farm was a five-grade official position, and the manager of each branch was a seventh-grade rank), but the person who shouted was the kind of contempt before putting it away, but he said respectfully. After all, the one in front of him is a seven-rank official.

"It turned out to be Lord Li, and the little one was the secretary of the Propaganda Department of this Shunyi Station, but on the order of Director Yang of the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Immigration, I sent a message to the stewards, saying that I asked you to go to the station hall to draw lots!"

Li Zicheng pursed his lips at what this officer said, and then took out a silver dollar from his sleeve and handed it forward.

"A little thing, not a tribute!"

However, it was said that the silver dollar handed over by Li Zicheng was a state-owned currency issued by the Ming Empire, called the Ming Silver Dollar.

Since June of the third year of Chongzhen, Zhu Jian, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has given an order.

Waste two for yuan! The right to mint is owned by the Imperial Bank.

The Imperial Bank was established, with five million taels of silver as the principal, minting silver dollars, but the weight standard system was abolished, and the Imperial branch ordered at the same time that all public and private money receipts and payments, contract bills and all transactions should be changed to silver dollars, and silver taels should no longer be used. Those who were originally scheduled to receive and pay in silver taels were to be paid in silver coins according to the standard of 7 silver taels and 1 cent and 5 cents of silver coins equivalent to 1 yuan of silver coins.

In addition, there are a large number of eagles in circulation within the empire, so Zhu Jian's implementation of the abolition of the two yuan is a certain basis, although there are certain obstacles in the process of abolishing the two yuan, but with the continuous improvement of the authority of the empire, and the emperor Zhu Jian has sent troops to suppress the measures, at the same time, the imperial marine trade group in partnership with Zheng Zhilong prohibits all domestic silver in its circulation, so within half a year, the silver dollar has also been circulated.

"Your Excellency, you're welcome, you're welcome!"

But he said that in the face of a silver dollar handed over by Li Zicheng, the officer hurriedly put it away, but he smiled, knowing that he only had a salary of five silver dollars a month.

"My lord, can I ask you another thing?"

"Lord Li, where to speak, where to speak, Lord Li even if he says, the little one knows everything, knows everything!"

"My lord, but I know that the Immigration Department of the Ministry of Immigration summoned me and waited."

"Master Li, this, the little one really knows, I heard that many of the immigrants sent by the Guanwai Division here are ready to be sent to Liaodong and Dongjiang respectively."

"Oh."

Hearing this, Li Zicheng seemed to be thoughtful.

"Lord Li, I heard that although the Dongjiang River is fertile, the security is not as far away as Ning, Lord Li, you better go early! If it's too late, the chance of going to Ningyuan will be slim! ”

Regarding this, Li Zicheng gave up.

"Thank you, sir, for reminding me!"
