Chapter 048: Han-Tu intermarriage.
The Han people were strong and bowed, and the result was that the woman was found in the call for help, and the man was caught by Yaqun and them on the spot. However, because these natives all relied on Wu Tianxiao for protection at this time, they did not dare to be ruthless to this Han man, but after beating him, they waited to see what Wu Tianxiao would do.
After Wu Tianxiao knew what had happened, he knew that there had to be a perfect outcome in this matter, otherwise this unpleasant thing would continue to happen. After all, there are a lot of indigenous women now, and many of the people in the village are men, especially the newcomers are young and strong.
So Wu Tianxiao pulled Yaqun, Tailu and Daoze to discuss. Fortunately, even with the strokes, plus Jiang Zhuang now knows a little bit of indigenous dialect, and Yaqun also knows a little bit of Chinese, so they can communicate more or less.
Wu Tianxiao gestured to let everyone, whether Han or native, come around and listen together. Wu Tianxiao gestured: "This is Dongfan Island, surrounded by pirates and pirates, as well as other fierce natives, such as Monadao. Although we have Han Chinese and natives, there are very few of us. If we don't unite, it won't be long before pirates or pirates come and kill us. It has only been a few days since Monadao's massacre of Yaqun and them, and this is an indisputable fact. Therefore, everyone must be united, not divided into Han Chinese or indigenous people. ”
The Han people naturally understood Wu Tianxiao's words, and Yaqun, Tailu, and Daoze, a few indigenous leaders who often dealt with the Han people, could also understand it more or less. So Yaqun told their people in what they understood not to quarrel with the Han Chinese.
At this time, the man also knelt on the ground and rubbed his mouth, and said that he was not human. Wu Tianxiao looked at the anger of those indigenous young people, which was not as big as just now, so he let the man kneel and continue to listen.
At this time, Wu Tianxiao discussed with several leaders of Yaqun: "The head of Yaqun." Now that there are more people, the village is already a little chaotic, and in the future, everyone can't eat together, and they have to be one family. So my arrangement for everyone in the future is that there are always some rules for each family. Everyone has to set a rule, and you can't mess around. ”
Yaqun understood, and pointed his finger at his meaning: "Your willingness to take in us homeless people is already a great blessing. We're sure you'll have a good idea, and we'll just listen to your arrangement. ”
Wu Tianxiao pointed to the indigenous women and children: "The men of these women and children have been killed, and they will always have to find someone to rely on in the future." You are very young and strong now, and a man cannot support too many women and children. So I discussed with you that we should intermarry. ”
Yaqun was puzzled: "Intermarriage? ”
Wu Tianxiao explained: "As far as the Han people can marry your women, your men can also marry the Han women, everyone can marry their mothers-in-law according to their abilities." Of course. This woman is not married for nothing, so she naturally asks for some gifts. We Han people call this a bride price, which is to give something to the woman. ”
Yaqun understood, so he consulted with Tailu and Daoze. Then Na Daoze asked, "Then is this related to the matter in front of you?" ”
Wu Tianxiao pointed at the man and said, "He used to be poor and had no money to get a wife. But now he is willing to pay to marry this woman. ”
After Yaqun and Talu Daoze discussed, Talu asked, "Then how much is this man willing to give the bride price you said?" ”
Wu Tianxiao heard this and asked the man: "If you marry this woman, how much are you willing to spend?" Of course. You are to take her child home with the old woman to be supported. ”
When the man heard this, he was nervous and surprised: "I am willing to pay ten taels." Ah no. Twenty taels ......" finally put out a palm, ruthless: "I am willing to pay fifty taels of silver to marry her, as long as you spare me this time." ”
Wu Tianxiao listened and said to Yaqun: "He is willing to pay fifty taels of silver to marry this woman." Of course. Even her children were supported by the old woman beside her. ”
Yaqun asked, "Fifty taels of silver?" How much is this? ”
Wu Tianxiao explained: "Fifty taels of silver can basically buy fifty bags of grain at the current price of grain. If it is a good harvest year, it is estimated that it is okay to change to 70 bags. ”
After listening to the careful calculation, Yaqun and the others were taken aback. When the news spread, the other natives were stunned when they heard that the man was willing to pay fifty bags of grain in exchange for the woman. After all, fifty sacks of grain is a very large number for these natives. At this time, the natives were no longer angry with that man, and even the woman who was hardened by that man was also surprised at this time. There are even some lonely and widowed indigenous women, who have begun to frown at the surrounding Han men at this time. After all, this intermarriage is really a great benefit for them. Of course. Whether others are willing to spend so much money to marry an indigenous woman after intermarriage is another matter. After all, now this man was careful to be severely punished by Wu Tianxiao, so he came out with blood this time.
Wu Tianxiao looked at the surrounding natives talking about it, although he couldn't clearly understand what they said for a while, but from the expressions on their faces, he could basically guess the result.
Really. After discussing with the two leaders of Tailu and Daoze, Yaqun said to Wu Tianxiao: "Good. It's up to you. ”
Wu Tianxiao continued: "In the future, everyone should not distinguish between Han and natives, and you young and strong should also join our armed forces." I know you're all brave people, but you're just missing a chance to play. In the future, follow me, we will fight side by side, and you will have a chance to get what the Han soldiers can get. ”
Yaqun was also happy when he heard this: "Our people can also join your team?" You can use your very powerful weapons, right? ”
Wu Tianxiao nodded: "Yes." In the future, everyone will be their own people, and everyone will have the opportunity to get ahead according to the requirements. And in the future, I will build a Han school, and let your children follow the Han children, go to school together, learn to speak Chinese, learn to write Chinese characters, and learn to do skills. ”
Those natives were overjoyed when they heard it, and who wouldn't want to learn the skills of the Han people. And the indigenous youth were even more pleasantly surprised. Because they also don't want to be protected like women, they worship warriors and heroes. If it weren't for the fact that they were almost wiped out by Monadao, they were also excellent hunters in the mountains and forests. If only I could learn to use that terrible weapon in the future.
Then Wu Tianxiao took this opportunity to rearrange the treatment of personnel. In the future, except for the barracks, they will no longer eat big pot rice, but will be distinguished by the treatment of various industries. Soldiers naturally have food and shelter, and recruits have two taels of silver per month, and once the rice is once the rice, the rice is naturally given to the families of the soldiers. The recruits were promoted to soldiers two years later, and their salaries were three taels of silver and two stone rice. With a team of ten people, the captain adds one or two pieces of silver. 100 people are 100 households, and the treatment of 100 households is 5 taels of silver and 4 stones. The reward after the victory is still 20% of the spoils.
The farmers on the farm are still the same, while the craftsmen are divided into four levels: apprentice, craftsman, master and master. Once the apprentice is one tael of silver per month, he will be born as a craftsman after one year, two taels of silver and two stone rice, and after three years, he will be promoted to a master, and the master will be three taels of silver and three stone rice. And a master like Shen Cheng is five taels of silver and five stone rice per month.
And at the beginning, Wu Tianxiao gathered some blacksmiths among the displaced people, among which there was a blacksmith master named Zhu Guoxiong. This person has been managing the repair of the weapons captured by Wu Tianxiao. There are also a few Han scholars such as Yang Jingchun and Jin Xuezeng, who were invited by the high salary, as well as the doctor Wen Shouyi. The treatment of these people is similar to Shen Quan.
