Chapter 1012: The Heart of the New World

It has been a month since he came to Puzhou, and Ah Gui, who alias Zhang Cheng, finally got the "Certificate of Meritorious Service for Guilty", moved out of the closed residential area near the prison, bought a farm by himself, and recuperated here.

In addition to changing their surnames, Manchu men and women over 15 and 60 years old must bear compulsory labor for one month a year for a period of ten years, and at the same time, they must also regularly participate in the righteous lectures organized by the grass-roots public offices, repent and reform, and must also report to the public office, and they are not allowed to set up or participate in companies within ten years, they are not allowed to trade stock futures, and they are not allowed to purchase real estate and houses that exceed the rated standards. Labor over 70 years old is shared between men and women in the family, and those under 15 years old are not involved, but Manchu people are not allowed to set up their own schools, and they must be enrolled in public Mongolian primary schools.

This is the collective punishment of the Manchu ethnic group by the Grand Judgment Court, and the Manchu officials, generals, and nobles above the banner leader will have to be tried separately. The Manchu trial of the Grand Court lasted for nearly 20 years, and it took only a lot of cases to clean up the chaotic civil cases in the Qianlong Jiaqing period, and only a small part of the Tuanjiequan cases in the Daoguang period were concluded.

The collective punishment that every adult Manchu bears is not rigid, and not only is the Manchu man given various choices according to his own strengths, but also the localities will also list alternative options according to local needs.

Those who are skilled can be coachmen and post guards, literate people can serve as clerks for the government, and even Manchu people who know Manchu can enter the National History Museum to assist in sorting out old Manchu files, and women can work more in medical charity, all of which can be used for hard labor. There are also some subsidies. Although the income cannot be compared with that of a "regular worker", it is better than a man moving bricks and smashing stones for a month a year. Roads and bridges are built, and women do laundry, cooking, and serving people more decently. In Liaodong, quite a few Manchus voluntarily accepted the dispatch. As a guide and tooth man, he assisted the dart bureau and the military to explore the terrain and people in the deep mountains and old forests.

There are also many Manchurians in Dongzhou, where all kinds of industries are waiting to be developed, and the local policy of using these people is more inclined to do their best. Ah Gui chose to be a teaching assistant in Mengxue, that is, a master who does not enjoy the treatment of a master. Of course, Meng Xuezi would closely monitor his teachings, and would never allow him to take the opportunity to preach something like the Kangxi Hadith, like some rotten Confucian masters in the northern part of the country.

Ah Gui's three wives and concubines entered the nursery, and two sons joined the volunteer as auxiliaries. The youngest daughter entered the Mongolian school, and it seems that the family is strictly under the control of the government, Ah Gui still has to teach for nine days in ten days, go to the Manchurian Affairs Office of the township office once a month to report to the line, and participate in a Manchurian reform propaganda meeting in the first quarter, you can see the land and the small courtyard of Sanjin, and the family can get together every day. The villagers and neighbors also came and went, and there was no hatred or contempt, and Ah Gui felt a sense of relief.

As Fan Pugui said, Dongzhou has no interest in digging deep into the background of the Manchurians, and only acts in accordance with the French spoken by the Grand Court. The origin of Ah Gui's fabrication is already contained in the registration file. Unless someone traces all the way from Jianzhou Korea to South Korea, and then crosses the ocean to find Dongzhou, or he spits out the truth, no one believes that the general of the Wuwei Army of the Zhongxing Dynasty, the last Manchu hero, did not die in the power struggle of Jianzhou Korea, but escaped to Dongzhou to hide in the world.

Then again, even if Ah Gui himself said his identity, it is estimated that no one would dare to believe it. When Fan Pugui first took him in, he never thought about this possibility.

August is approaching, and at 4 p.m., the sun is scorching. After finishing school, Ah Gui took his seven-year-old daughter out of the school building and prepared to go home. His home is in Baiwolf Township, 30 miles south of Puzhou City, and there are more than 300 peasant households in the township, each of which is a farmer with one or two hectares of land. The road leading from the township to Puzhou City has become a meeting place for villagers, where merchants from Puzhou City buy farm crops and livestock, some family members and small traders set up stalls to sell general merchandise and sundries, and the township office, Mengxue, Tianmiao and other facilities are also here, converging into a small town mixed with tranquility and liveliness. …,
