Outside the county government of Quang Ninh County, a notice was posted. Two soldiers of the Xinhua Army, armed with guns, guarded the place to prevent the notice from being torn down.

"The Qing Emperor was mediocre, unable to calm the people internally, and unable to resist strong enemies externally. Today, the new Chinese kingdom rose in the South Seas, went north to the Central Plains, overthrew the Manchu Qing Dynasty, restored the Han family, and let everyone live a happy and healthy life. At present, the Guangdong Provincial Government has decreed that all male citizens who have reached the age of 16 can apply for immigration to Nanyang. All immigrants to Nanyang, male or female, will be allocated 50 acres of land, and will prepare cattle, seeds, and houses to be exempted from tax for two years, and after two years, only 10 percent of the agricultural tax will be levied. Citizens who sign up to go to the South Seas will be sent by the government to send ships to the South Seas. The government assures all of them that they will have a good life when they arrive in Nanyang! A teacher read the announcement to the onlookers.

"To the South Seas? Isn't that looking for death? I heard that there are a lot of raw people there, and they have to eat people. An old man said in horror.

"Uncle, your news has lagged behind since then. Now Nanyang is already the territory of Xinhuaguo. Those students have long been exterminated by Xinhuaguo. It's just that Xinhua doesn't have a large population, so it has to immigrate from us. A young man said.

"Is there such a good thing for every man fifty acres of land, men, women, young and old? If there are more than 10 people in a family, it is not 500 acres of land, it is completely a landlord! "Some people are skeptical about what is on the announcement. After all, China's land annexation is very powerful. The vast majority of the people are landless tenant farmers, and now Xinhua State has given away 50 acres of land for no reason, and tax exemption for two years. Even after two years, only 10 percent of the agricultural tax will be levied, which is too good for everyone to feel a little unreal.

"What the government has promised, is there anything fake? It's just that from here, go to the South Seas. You have to go by sea, thousands of miles! After I go, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in this life. "Some older people. It is difficult to leave the homeland, although I am very excited about the conditions offered by Xinhuaguo, but I am still reluctant to go, so as not to die in a foreign land. I can't even enter the ancestral grave.

"What's this. If life in Nanyang can really get better, you can't come back. This is the view of some people who are already poor. Originally, they were already about to be unable to survive, rather than waiting for death here, it was better to go to Nanyang for a while, maybe there was a chance to turn over. People often think of change when they are in a difficult situation.

Next to this announcement, there is also a special introduction to the customs of Nanyang, when the literate person reads it out. It surprised the onlookers. A strange and novel world has been unfolded in front of them. A lot of people are starting to get ready to move. Be prepared to wait until the registration officially opens. If it is really as Gong said in the announcement, he will be able to live a good life. Even if it's not true, can it be worse than what they are doing now?

Not far from here, Zhu Zhengyu, the magistrate of Quang Ninh County, is accompanying a young man to watch the reaction of the general public. It's just that Zhu Zhengyu's face is a little unsightly. His family was originally a big landowner, if all these tenant farmers went to Nanyang, who would plant the family's fields? Do they have to farm their own fields? This is too insulting. Therefore, after the order of the previous provincial government came down, he was asked by other large landowners to deliberately conceal this policy. But now, I can't hide it if I want to. The provincial government sent people down directly.

"County Magistrate Zhu, for the mistakes you made before, the provincial government has written it down first, and you can not punish it for the time being. If you make a mistake again, then you will be punished for both crimes, and then it will be a severe punishment! "The young people are the officials sent from Xinhuaguo, and these young people are all students who graduated from Xinhuaguo's School of Administration. The School of Administration is a two-year school that teaches the content of local governance, and the students taught are mainly engaged in grassroots management positions. This time, Xinhua sent a total of several hundred graduates in order to govern Guangdong well. Of course, Guangdong is so big and has a population of tens of millions, and it is not enough to rely on these people alone, but also to rely on local talents. That's why there are so many locals in the office. However, as Xinhuaguo's control over Guangdong continued to strengthen, these locals could continue to be officials if they knew each other and cooperated with Xinhuaguo. But if they don't know each other and still want to blindly seek personal gain like the Manchu Dynasty, then they can only step down, and if the circumstances are serious, they will even face severe punishment.

"Yes, Commissioner Wu, I know what I said." Zhu Zhengyu hurriedly said. He knew that he had been lucky to pass the test this time.

Liu Xiaosi is a 17-year-old young man who has never gone to school, and his family lives in the mountains of more than 20 miles of Li Guangning County. Originally, he went into the city to sell some mountain goods, but after he sold them, he heard a teacher read the government's notice again. After listening, Liu Xiaosi's eyes lit up and he ran towards home like a fly. There are six people in their family, and their parents gave birth to four brothers, the eldest of whom is already twenty-two years old. At this age, it's long overdue to get married. However, because the family was poor, there was only a little hillside land, and they usually relied on working for the landlord's family to support the family. In a good year, you can still eat a few full meals, but in a disaster year, you can only rely on wild vegetables in the mountains to save your life.

Now, the government actually allocates 50 acres of land to each person, and their family of six can get 300 acres of land. That's more than the largest landowner in town. Liu Xiaosi couldn't help but look forward to what kind of beautiful life it would be. Although you have to go to Nanyang, but only if you have so much land, what does it matter?

"Daddy! Come out, I have something to tell you! As soon as he entered the small courtyard of his house, Liu Xiaosi shouted loudly.

"What are you doing? Such a surprise. Liu Xiaosi's father, Liu Laoshi came out of the house and asked with some dissatisfaction. followed by Liu Xiaosi's mother, Liu Li.

"Dad, I saw a notice posted by the government in the county seat, as long as you sign up to immigrate to Nanyang, you can get 50 acres of land, regardless of men and women, you can get so much land. The government also provided premises, seeds, farming tools and cattle. Let's sign up, too! Liu Xiaosi said excitedly. He was thrilled to think of how much land his family would have to have.

"Little Four, what's wrong with you? No fever, right? It's all nonsense. Liu Li was a little worried, pulled Liu Xiaosi over, touched his forehead and inquired, very concerned.

"Mother, I'm not sick. What I say is true. The government has issued a notice, and it is on the outer wall of the county hall. Liu Xiaosi said.

"Humph! How can there be such a good thing in the world, it is fifty acres of land! Liu honestly didn't believe it.

"Dad, what I said is true. Now Guangdong has been occupied by the Xinhua Kingdom, and we are all citizens of the Xinhua Kingdom, not the children of the Qing Dynasty. Xinhua people have less land and more land, as long as they are willing to immigrate there, they can get so much land. Liu Xiaosi persuaded that he didn't want such a good opportunity to slip away like this.

"Nanyang? That's thousands of miles, and if they don't admit it after they go, what should they do? Let's be honest and farm at home! "Liu Laoshi doesn't believe that there is a free lunch in the world.

"Oh, Dad, what I said is true, if you don't believe it, you can go to the county seat and have a look. Many people are already ready to sign up, and if it's late, there may not be a place. Liu Xiaosi said anxiously.

It just so happened that at this time, the other three sons of the Liu family also returned. They are all helping the landlord to work, and Liu Laoshi is resting at home today because of his poor health.

"Dad, I heard that the new government has implemented a new policy, as long as the immigrants go to Nanyang, everyone can get 50 acres of land. Otherwise, let's sign up. The eldest son of the Liu family, Liu Da said.

"Brother, do you know the truth?" Liu Xiaosi asked.

"Of course, now the news has spread throughout the county. Everyone was talking about it, and after three days, the official registration began, and I heard that many people were ready to sign up to go to Nanyang. Everyone has 50 acres of land, as long as they are willing to work, it is not a problem to support themselves at all, and they can still live a good life! Liu Da said with a hint of longing.

"Yes, I heard that in that place in Nanyang, the weather is a little hotter than ours, and rice alone can be planted for three seasons a year, and when the time comes, the grain will not be eaten!" Liu Xiaosi continued.

Hearing this, Liu Laoshi was also a little tempted.

"Daddy, son, why don't we sign up too. The eldest is in his twenties, and he hasn't taken a daughter-in-law yet. Go to Nanyang, if you can really get so much land, you can get a daughter-in-law for their brothers! Liu Li also said.

"You're at home, I'll go to the county to have a look!" Liu said honestly. Although he had actually agreed, he was still not at ease, so he had to go and see for himself. After all, this is a long way to the South Seas, and after going, this old bone may be buried there.

There are many, many families like the Liu family, who are at the bottom of the whole society and live the poorest life. Before, there was no other way, so they could only bear it silently. And now, there is a sudden turnaround, and they are naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity. Everyone is full of yearning for a better life in the future. Originally, everyone didn't have a good impression of Xinhuaguo. But now, everyone's goodwill towards Xinhuaguo has begun to rise in a straight line! (To be continued......)
