Because of this, the imperial court has special requirements for immigrants, requiring that the settlement points must be built with fort walls, to organize militia teams, to stand guard at night, in short, in addition to the troops stationed in various towns and other places, the immigrants must also have their own defense forces, and they must be able to deal with those various bandits, at least to be able to support the arrival of the army behind the enemy.

There are more than 1,000 people in Shouchuntun, which is a very large settlement, and the surrounding 20 miles of land are divided to them, but there is not much familiar land, and Buyeo is originally a place of semi-grazing and half-farming, especially here is the northwest corner of Goguryeo. However, there is a small river passing through the north and south of this land, which is the kind of river with water in all seasons, and Zhao Xuan and others who came from Huainan Water Town are very happy and satisfied. In the words of Zhao Xuan's father, rice can be grown here. There are not many familiar lands, there are more than 1,000 acres of land, which originally belonged to the indigenous aristocracy, but now these lands belong to Shouchuntun, and a small number of them originally belonged to some yeoman farmers, and now these yeoman farmers have been moved to the north, where a Goguryeo settlement of more than 100 households has been established, and their land has also been integrated there. The government's current separation of Han immigrants from the natives is also to avoid too many contradictions from the beginning. More than 1,000 acres of land, with an average of only more than one acre per person. However, Zhao Xuan's fellow villagers were not disappointed, there is a lot of good land to be reclaimed, and the land allocated to them by the government can be reclaimed for thousands of hectares, especially since there are two rivers here, with enough water and fertile land.

"These fields don't need to be fertilized, you look at this black, you can squeeze out the oil with a pinch of your hand, and you can sprout with a chopstick." The one who spoke was an official from the county stationed in Shouchuntun, who was said to be a family technician. Specially instructed them on how to farm in northern Liaobei. "What do you mean, you are the first to come. I am not very familiar with the land here, and I am definitely not able to grow rice now. If you don't have a good grasp of this land, it's not easy to plant. The above means that you should plant soybeans and sorghum first, these two things are best grown in northern Liaoning, and they are easy to plant, live and harvest. ”

Zhao Xuan's family is the largest family in Tunli because there are 16 men, and there are more than 30 people, so he recommended his uncle to be the head of the tun. Zhao Laohan's face was full of folds, and it was very dark. But he is very strong, he has eight sons, in fact, he is not yet fifty years old this year, he always speaks with a loud voice, and he is usually a warm-hearted person, who has a little dispute at home, he will always be the first to help make peace, especially along the way, he is also the captain of the escort team. Therefore, it is already very prestigious in Tunli. At this time, he stood up and said to the official with a smile, "What the chief said is, it's just that we used to only stand on rice. I haven't planted these sorghum soybeans, and if we only grow sorghum soybeans, then we can't all use sorghum soybeans as rations. Sorghum and soybeans have always been used as feed. ”

The agricultural technician smiled unimpressed. "What Zhao Tunchang said makes sense, but you don't have to worry. The imperial court had a plan for a long time. That's right, the official plan, let's plant sorghum and soybeans in this piece of Fuyu, and after these harvests, they will be purchased by the government, which will be used as fodder for the garrison's war horses, and this soybean can also be used to extract oil. As for everyone's rations, it's not a problem, the government will provide everyone with corn rations. As for the matter of rice proposed by the chief just now, I don't think it's impossible, but we might as well plant a small amount of rice by the river first, which can be regarded as finding out the temper of the land here, and when we find it out, we will promote the planting of rice or wheat and millet in large quantities in the future, everyone said. ”

"It's still the chief who thinks clearly, since the government has considered it so properly and thoroughly, we naturally listen to the officials." Zhao Laohan smiled with satisfaction.

The agricultural technician smiled, "In the future, I will be stationed in Shouchuntun for a long time, so don't be polite to me, I'm not a chief, just a person who is engaged in agricultural technology, and I am just ordered by the imperial court to help everyone engage in production." We now have more than 1,000 acres of cooked land, and this year we will plant more than 1,000 acres of land with sorghum and soybeans, but the main task is to reclaim the land, but everyone can rest assured, according to the official text, we can get 100 cattle and 20 horses immediately, plus all kinds of good iron farm tools will also be transported immediately, we can reclaim a lot of land this year. At the end of the year, they will receive their own rations and income according to their own work, and after three years, each man will be given 200 acres of land, and each man's daughter-in-law will also be given 100 acres. Good days are waiting for us, so let's work hard. ”

The enthusiasm of the immigrants was aroused, and in the evening when the family was having dinner, Zhao Laohan announced an order to the nine bachelor nephews in the family who were not yet married.

"The official came to inform today, tomorrow is the first blind date meeting in our county, all nine of you will go, get your hair cut, trim your beard, take a good bath, repair your nails, shave your face, take out the best clothes and put them on, and go to the city early tomorrow morning to go on a blind date. I tell you, don't pick and choose, look for a daughter-in-law, the most important thing is not to look good, but not to eat or drink. If you want to find it, you have to find the kind that is honest at first glance, and there is another one, you have to have a strong body, preferably with a big chest and a round butt, only with a big chest can you have milk, and only with a big butt can you give birth to it. This time, the Emperor of the Holy Son of Heaven has been arranged for us, so many girls let you look, and you don't have to pay a gift from your family, what a good thing it is. You have to seize the opportunity, if you pick everything up, if you are picked up, it may be difficult to have this kind of opportunity in the future. When Zhao Laohan said this, he sighed with a smile on his face, and he was also grateful to His Majesty the Emperor. Without this immigration order, their family would only be able to work on tenants, not to mention that fourteen sons and nephews are marriageable, but only five have become relatives, and nine are still singles. Now, the official is helping them find a daughter-in-law, which is really a good thing that is difficult to find with a lantern, how can you not hurry.

"It's all Hu Girl, I guess I can't understand Chinese." It was Zhao Xuan's cousin Zhao Wei who spoke, and he muttered that he was very unhappy about going on a blind date to marry Hu Nu. In fact, he is not the only one who is unhappy, the nine members of the Zhao family have not yet married, the eldest is almost thirty, and the younger one is also in his twenties, although he has been thinking about his wife for many years, but when it comes to this day, he is not very happy, nothing else, just because he wants to marry a bearded girl. When I think of these Goguryeo women, they can't even understand and speak Chinese, and their various living habits are all different, how will they live together in the future?

"It's too much to call Hanako, you're still turning the tide." Zhao Laohan slapped his chopsticks on the table, stood up and gave the dog girl a slap. The old man has endured hardships, it can be said that he has been suffering for most of his life, and the hard life has made him understand many truths of life. It doesn't matter what kind of bearded girl or what living habits, the important thing is to be able to marry a young girl as a wife, have children, reproduce the family, and prosper the family. No matter how bearded a girl is, it's better than beating a single. Moreover, the government had already announced that three years later it would officially grant land to each person, and at that time, each man had 200 acres of land, and the married woman also had 100 acres of land. Giving away a daughter-in-law for nothing and adding another hundred acres of land, such a good thing, the dog sister is so stupid that she is not happy, it is really stupid to the end. Not to mention that she is a bearded girl, even if she is a dumb girl, she has to marry immediately.

What's more, although the field has not been granted at the moment, it is to hoard the field together, but it is not to eat a big pot of rice, that is also to record the work, marry a wife will have one more labor, although the woman does not go to the field, but she can also weave cloth and make clothes, the same can get the work. If there are more people, you will earn more, and you will be able to earn some family business as soon as possible, and when the land arrives at home, then you have to buy cattle and horses, what kind of money is not needed, and you can't send them to study if you have a child?

Zhao Xuan was also reluctant to go on a blind date, let alone marry a bearded girl, but he followed Liu Shuyi to read and read along the way, which broadened his horizons a lot. At the age of twenty-one this year, he felt for the first time that this world was so vast, especially listening to Liu Shuzhi talk about the past when he fought for the emperor in Huaihuang, which made him yearn for it even more. Now in Tunli, he is the deputy captain of the militia because he knows a lot of words, but he wants to join the army and see the wider world. Scribe Liu also encouraged him, now after Scribe Liu arrived here, he did not go back to Huainan, but also stayed here, but he did a list of things in the county, which can be regarded as a lot of improvement, and has become a foreign sight, if he can make some contributions or something in the next step, maybe there is a chance to jump from an official to an official, after all, he is a retired soldier, and now that the Son of Heaven is in power, officials and officials are no longer insurmountable.

It's just that he didn't dare to mention his thoughts to his father, especially to his uncle, who knew his temper, and what he opposed the most was to become a soldier. According to my uncle's words, that is, good iron does not nail, and good men do not serve soldiers. Especially since he didn't even marry a wife, it was impossible for him to be a soldier. Originally, he wanted to mention this matter today, but when he saw that his cousin and sister were scolded so badly, he didn't dare to mention it again.

That night, Zhao Xuan tossed and turned and didn't fall asleep all night. He resisted this blind date in his heart, but finally remembered what his father had said to him last night, which made him understand that the most important thing for a man is responsibility. His father told him that he knew that he wanted to go out, and that he wanted to be a soldier, and he saw all this, and his father said that he couldn't live with him, that he was so smart, but it was a pity that he never sent him to school for a day. But my father also said that people can't just think about themselves, especially men, and men should be more responsible. The father told him to go on a blind date early tomorrow morning, bring back a girl, and when they became biological children, if he still wanted to go out at that time, he would support him at that time. He has six sons, and it is not impossible to let one son go out and break out, but he must marry a wife and have children first. (To be continued......)
