Shi Chun is a farmer, thirty-four years old, and his long and hard life has made this young man bent over.

Today, Shi Chun's face was bright, singing the tune of his hometown, leading the cow, and on the back of the cow was his little daughter-in-law of the Lan Kunlun tribe, who was pregnant with his child in her belly.

Shi Chun is a native of Yunnan, and his ancestors were all suffering. In his generation, there was no land, and the house only had two broken grass houses left by his ancestors. On weekdays, he only relies on working for large families, and he is still a bachelor in his thirties, and his ideal dream is a word that he can't think of at all.

That day, the chief of the village came to the door and asked him if he would like to go out and make a living. Shi Chun's head, which was like a lump of wood, suddenly had a spiritual light one day for some reason. His stone spring poor jingle sound, there is nothing to deceive.

If you don't eat the last meal, you may starve to death on the side of the road one day. Poor people, where they die, isn't it just a pile of mud in the ditch?

Sensei said that a cow on thirty acres of land is to give a bowl of white rice, and he Shichun will not care about his rotten life. It's just that he is skinny and has a bad physique, so I don't know if people will accept it.

Unexpectedly, Shi Chun signed up, and soon joined forces with a large group of poor fellow villagers to be organized.

A bespectacled student baby led the group of people named Hanako on the road. Shi Chun didn't know how to count, and I heard that he had been walking for half a month. But in that half a month, he didn't feel bitter at all, and for him, being able to eat enough was the greatest happiness.

Later, he got on the plane. Thinking about it now, I still feel embarrassed, when the plane went into the sky, he was scared and was pulled into his pants.

Shi Chun was in a daze all the way, seeing strange-looking people, long trains, and cars made of iron. He saw a big, big ship, he saw the sea, and then he went to Datang Island.

In this way, Shi Chun swore to become a Haitang country and lived in a round tulou.

The gentleman in charge (Haitang has teachers in each township and is also in charge of taxes) asked Shi Chun what he would plant and how many acres of land he could plant.

Shi Chun did not hesitate, and opened his mouth to rice, thirty acres.

Unexpectedly, two days later, he got a full thirty acres of paddy fields. Shi Chun found out later. He was lucky, and all the fields he was allocated were cooked (planted).

He didn't know how to settle accounts, and the steward said a lot, and he didn't understand it.

In the end, I remembered two things.

First, the bank lent him a thousand dollars to live on. and so on to beat the grain. Give back a thousand catties of rice to the bank.

Second, plant land for three consecutive years. Leave your own rations. The rest of the full payment of public rations. Then, the thirty acres of land and a cow really belonged to him.

There is actually a big misunderstanding in this, but with Shi Chun's knowledge, it is not clear at all. But no matter what the specifics are, I have to endure hardship for three years. Thirty acres of land and a cow are their own, Shi Chun thinks it's worth it, it's worth it.

What's even more down-to-earth is that a thousand yuan can really buy a thousand catties of rice. With food, he Shi Chun can live for at least another year.

Being able to eat enough and live for one more year, Shi Chun felt that he had made the right choice for the first time in his life. What makes Shi Chun more motivated to live is the thirty acres of land and a cow.

This is thirty acres of good land, and a sturdy ploughing ox. In his hometown, he just worked for a lifetime, no, he couldn't earn so much in two lifetimes.

Crop work, Shi Chun is very good at it. In the whole township, Shi Chun is also the most willing to contribute, really working day and night, and he can't live in the fields.

people, once there is hope. The vitality that erupted was terrifying, and he alone completed all the labor, harvesting, and threshing of thirty acres of rice fields.

When he came to Datang Island, it had only been a year since he was full, and Shi Chun had already planted three crops of rice and harvested three times.

The third time he handed over the public grain, Shi Chun went to the stage in a daze because he paid the most grain, and wore a big red flower. I heard that it was the prime minister of Haitang who brought him flowers.

Prime Minister, that's the prime minister in the play.

I'm afraid that his Shi Chunzu has never seen the prime minister in the last eighteen generations, and he Shi Chun really glorified his ancestors this time.

Shi Chun will never forget that day. An old woman who is kind and kind to the Bodhisattva, I heard that she is still the biggest official in the Haitang Kingdom, and Li Junchang and his mother-in-law, Su Mao, have found him a daughter-in-law.

What the old woman said at that time, Shi Chun still remembers: "Seeing that you are not too young, I will pick and choose and find you a daughter-in-law who can give birth to you." ”

Then, Shi Chun had a little daughter-in-law.

According to the marriage law of the Haitang Kingdom, men can only marry at 18 and women at 17. But these Lankunlun clans, let alone counting, can't even figure out their age. As a result, Su Mao's domineering stipulation that all marriageable Lankunlun women were seventeen years old. In fact, Shi Chun's little daughter-in-law is good if she is thirteen or fourteen years old.

Shi Chun, an old bachelor, doesn't think that the woman is a Lankunlun clan, can't speak Chinese, and being able to marry a wife is already an ancestor.

The female bodhisattva spoke really well, and in just a few months, his little daughter-in-law was already pregnant with his child. He Shi Chun is a human being and has a conscience, and he wants to thank the female Bodhisattva for her great kindness and virtue, so that his Shi family has no queen.

Today, Shi Chun specially brought his daughter-in-law to kowtow in front of the female Bodhisattva to thank him.

Li Guang took his two children out and happened to see Shi Chun and his little daughter-in-law kowtowing in front of the door. In this regard, Li Guang is no longer surprised, his mother-in-law has two hobbies, one is to worship Buddha, and the other is to talk about matchmaking. Moreover, Su Mao's matchmaking is simply an assembly line operation, and the speed is extremely fast. Three to five seconds for a couple, that's normal speed. As for whether it is suitable or not, Su Mao's has Su Mao's standard, but that standard is really ......, and Li Guang is difficult to understand.

Haitang has a marriage law, but in front of Su Mao, it seems that there is no one. Freedom of marriage, free love, is there such a regulation?

She only remembers monogamy, which is aimed at Li Guang. Oh, and also to Mr. Summod.

Li Guang's intermarriage between the Han and the Lankunlun ethnic group is definitely not his self-proclaimed lack of racial discrimination, but a little resistance.

However, the standard of happiness varies from person to person, and Shi Chun is very happy now.

In short, intermarriage with the Lankunlun tribe is not only not opposed by the people, but also Premier Yuan, Su Mao and others are very supportive.

Li Guang is relatively slow about some things. Or rather, there is a misunderstanding of thinking. For example, the matter of intermarriage. Ostensibly, this intermarriage solves the problem of a serious disparity in the ratio of men and women among immigrants.

However, he had no idea at all that in a little more than a year, 200,000 marriageable women of the Lankunlun ethnic group, with a population of three to four million, would marry immigrants.

And this intermarriage continues. Until the Haitang State is able to solve the problem of the ratio of men and women, this kind of intermarriage will certainly continue. Within three to five years, I am afraid that there will be no 500,000 Lankunlun women who marry immigrants.

In Li Guang's mind, this is not a problem. However, if there are fewer women in the Lankunlun tribe, the population will increase a little slower. According to his impressions of the 21st century, Africans are very capable of giving birth.

However, Li Guang forgot about a serious problem. Or rather, he is out of touch with reality. The long-term vision of the traverser is good, but there is often some kind of misjudgment that is ahead of the curve.

In this era, due to medical care and nutrition, the average life expectancy of Chinese is only forty years old, and the Lankunlun ethnic group. The average life expectancy is definitely not more than twenty-five years.

Such an average life expectancy, half a million intermarriages. Almost all the marriageable women of the Lankunlun tribe were married.

Seemingly peaceful intermarriage. But it had serious consequences, even more brutal than the bloody killings.

Plus other reasons, such as prisoner labor, emigration, etc.

Twenty years later, when the Haitang Kingdom gave the Lankunlun people the right to vote, there were less than 300,000 pure Lankunlun families on Datang Island. And it's only been twenty years. The Lankunlun people no longer have a language of their own.

Historian, Premier Yuan Ye once pointed to a history book at a certain time, and Li Guang saw a few words: In the spring of XX, the Moko tribe was attached. The Emperor remembered his loyalty and allowed him to move inward.

Hundreds of years later, will there still be such a Moko in China?

To the hypocritical Li Guang, he comforted himself that this method of the Haitang Kingdom was a little more noble than the United States massacring the Indians and establishing the country.

－－－－－－

Farmers like Shi Chun are the largest group in Datang Island. In the hopeful Haitang Kingdom, expectations for a small family have already begun.

In fact, the Haitang Kingdom also had a very heavy tax on farmers. The heavy one made Li Guang incredible. However, three years of hard work and getting an industry is a very cost-effective thing in the eyes of all farmers.

At present, the agricultural tax, which is as high as nearly 70 percent, has not caused too many contradictions. After all, most peasants are still alone and have no burden.

Li Guang reminded himself that this is definitely not the norm, and that when the war ends, or the country's economy is looser, tax cuts will be required immediately. With such taxes, it is difficult for a farmer to feed his family.

Let the people live a little better, a little easier, Li Guang also hopes. However, there is a shortage of money everywhere, and Li Guang is also trying to find money. Grain export is one of the only few products that Haitang can come up with, and it is the most important one.

Compared with pure peasants like Shi Chun, Chinese immigrants from Nanyang, or people with business and factory experience, engaged in economic activities that made Li Guang more happy.

Although these people did not completely abandon agriculture, their main work was to work in factories or open small workshops. For example, one of the largest industrial groups in Haitang - mortar specialized county.

Whether it is a worker or a small business owner, most of the land they choose is mountain forest (which is proportional to farmland) and grows some long-term crops, such as rubber trees, with a harvest cycle of seven or eight years. Another example is planting sugarcane, which is harvested once a year.

There are even smart people who see that the government attaches great importance to dairy cows, and even brought high-quality forage seeds from South America and started the grass planting business. It's easy to manage and doesn't take up work time.

Without the guidance of the government, these half-workers, half-peasants, have sufficient economic acumen. Although it is also hard, the income is much higher than that of a pure farmer, and the contribution to the country's tax revenue is also greater.

Think about the scene on the land of China a few decades later, in the early days of reform and opening up, the illiterate peasants burst out like a wave, and one workshop and one factory after another sprung up. Li Guang believed that in time, the influx of pure peasants into industry and commerce would be an inevitable trend, but he had no intention of promoting it with the power of the government now.

Don't look at the hardships of the peasants, the income is actually not high. But the allure of land is so great that there is a severe shortage of manpower in industry and commerce.

Recent demands from the business community to restrict land to newcomers and allow newcomers to enter factories. Li Guangxin said that the capitalist method of sheep eating people appeared so quickly in the Haitang Kingdom, which was really fast.

However, attracting immigrants is the most important national policy of the Haitang Kingdom. Propaganda for making money through work, absolutely not propaganda for the land to be attractive to the poor in the country.

Therefore, even if it may affect tax revenue, Li Guang did not support it. The industrial and commercial power of Haitang is not small, but it is not enough to influence the government.

Li Guang does not support it, and the business community also has tricks. However, these tricks are what Li Guang likes to see. Business bosses, big and small, have been lobbying farmers to switch to certain long-cycle cash crops - the most common being rubber trees. They even offered to provide seedlings and raise wages. In short, try to attract the peasants from the land to the factories.

With the diligence of the Chinese, as long as there is a relatively stable environment, the speed of development is absolutely amazing. Don't look at the fact that the registered population of the Haitang Kingdom is only more than 2.5 million, and Li Guang even dares to pack a ticket, even if there is no projected war money, it is not impossible for Australia with an economy of more than 8 million people in five years.
