1289 Anecdotes of the Americas (XVII)

At dusk, on the eastern outskirts of Jinshan City, on the edge of a farmland that has been reclaimed. Several staff members belonging to the Ministry of Agriculture are bending over to measure the land.

Soon the survey of the land was done, and one of them came to the edge of the field and gave a report to the man who seemed to be the leader.

Luo Erzhu and a dozen others had already made records and followed the staff of the Ministry of Agriculture here, and the immigrants who were waiting for the division of land stood on the side with a worried face.

After listening to the report of his subordinates, the head of the Ministry of Agriculture, who was in charge of land distribution, walked in front of Luo Erzhu and the others, and he smiled and said to Luo Erzhu: "Okay, now the land that belongs to you has been measured." This land is a total of fifteen acres, and it will belong to you in the future. However, there is a sentence to make clear, these lands cannot be sold, and if you buy and sell the allocated land without authorization, then the government will confiscate all of them and impose criminal penalties on you. ”

Yes, of course, Jinshan City will give land to the Ming immigrants, so that they can have a capital to settle down.

However, in order to prevent the Ming immigrants, there will be some unreliable people. Therefore, Wang Shan stipulated that it was okay to divide the land, but it could not be bought and sold freely.

You must know that these lands are all divided for free, how can it be sold to them.

What's more, if the land is sold, what will happen to the lives of these immigrants from the Ming Dynasty in the future?

The Ming immigrants who became bankrupt again will have a bad impact on the city's security and stability.

Therefore, as long as this point is controlled, these Ming immigrants will not have to worry about eating and drinking after having land. And if it becomes easier to live, then they won't have any bad intentions, right?

The Ministry of Agriculture is responsible for measuring and allocating land. He took out a contract and handed it over.

"Take this deed, it will prove that you are the owner of the fifteen acres of land. It's already on the government's side, but it needs to be kept well. ”

Luo Erzhu trembled with excitement. His hands trembled as he took the contract.

This is my own land, fifteen acres of fertile land.

With these fifteen acres of land, he Luo Erzhu can turn over.

At this time, Luo Erzhu really had mixed feelings in his heart.

But one thing is for sure, all the tastes in his heart now are pleasant.

Luo Erzhu was the first person to be assigned the land, and the other Ming immigrants on his side. There was a look of envy in their eyes.

But none of them showed jealousy.

Thinking about it, Luo Erzhu divided fifteen acres of land, and they themselves had to divide a lot of land.

Because the family has a large population. Therefore, the land must be divided more than Luo Erzhu's family.

You must know that the land here in Jinshan City is calculated according to the number of people.

And Luo Erzhu got the land here, obviously these Song people said about the division of land. It's not to fool them.

Therefore. Everyone was still a little worried, but now they have all put it down.

"Congratulations, congratulations, big pillar, you have to take care of these lands. We can't do anything else, so we will plant the land. In the past, when we were in the Ming Dynasty, we had no land, so we could only be tenants for large landlords, and there was not much harvest throughout the year. Now that I have land, there will be hope for that day. ”

A grade in his early fifties, which is not a young man in this era. Loudly congratulated Luo Erzhu.

It can be seen that this person and Luo Erzhu are familiar.

In fact, it is not surprising at all that this group of immigrants who were brought by the Ming Dynasty are all victims of disasters from three villages in one area.

Therefore, it is not surprising that someone knows each other well.

"What Brother Zhang said is that this land belongs to him. Every year, except for 20% of the tax, the rest is your own. How can this day be bad, in the past, we had to pay sixty percent of the landlord's rent and bear twenty percent of the harsh donation. ”

When Luo Erzhu spoke, he still felt that he was dreaming.

"Okay, I'll not say anything, I'll go and see my land first."

Luo Erzhu arched his hand to the surroundings, and rushed to his own land impatiently.

Good land!

Absolutely fertile land, the land divided by the Song people, is definitely not the kind of barren land that they think.

Just by looking at the soil, you can see that the crops grown in this land can definitely rise very well!

As a farmer whose ancestors were farmers, Luo Erzhu certainly has a deep understanding of the land.

He squatted there, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil in his hand, and after gently rubbing it, he immediately had a clear understanding in his heart.

The land of the Americas is simply unused.

Therefore, the fertility of the land here is very strong.

It is important to know that after the land is reclaimed, the fertility will gradually weaken.

The beneficial substances contained in the soil will slowly disappear with repeated planting.

This is also the reason why farmers have to turn out the deep soil every year.

The fifteen acres of land belonging to Luo Erzhu, although it has not yet been reclaimed, the boundary monument has been erected.

At the same time, the weeds here have also been treated before the land is allocated. The rest only needs to be reclaimed by Luo Erzhu after receiving the farm tools and ploughing cattle, and with a little effort.

And because it's early spring, if you catch up with the time, you can also plant a check of grain.

As soon as he thought of this, Luo Erzhu couldn't wait to start working.

However, at the moment, he has nothing but to hurry.

"My lord, I wonder when I will be able to get farm tools and ploughing cattle?"

Luo Erzhu walked back from the field, stood in front of the little head of the Ministry of Agriculture and asked respectfully.

"Right now, the wagons over there are full of farm tools. The ploughing cattle can be delivered in half an hour, are you in a hurry? ”

The Ministry of Agriculture, for its part, has long had everything ready.

It can be seen that Jinshan City is still very careful.

Alas!

These Song people are much more enthusiastic than the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

If this is placed in Daming. Those officials don't do things like this.

Luo Erzhu thought of Da Ming, and then compared these Song people.

He suddenly felt that it seemed that he would live here in the future. It's not a bad thing either.

Anyway, he has nothing in Daming.

"Have you applied for an agricultural loan?"

The official asked with a smile when Luo Erzhu was distracted.

"Oh, yes, yes, I have an application."

Asked by the other party, Luo Erzhu hurriedly reached into his arms and groped for a while, then took out a piece of paper and handed it to the little head of the Ministry of Agriculture.

The little head took it and looked down. "Well, the application has been approved, a full set of farm tools and a ploughing ox. I'll have someone bring you farm tools later. But you'll have to wait half an hour to plough the oxen. “

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll wait."

How could Luo Erzhu have any requirements.

For now, he is very satisfied.

"Your family has fifteen acres of land. You can't seem to be busy with a cow by yourself. Otherwise, you go to the city and buy a few slaves. These five big and three rough and powerful, but the work is good. “

For these immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, because the big guys belong to the same clan and clan, the Chinese genetic people here in Jinshan City are quite psychologically acceptable.

Isn't it, this little head who belongs to the Ministry of Agriculture and was sent to distribute land kindly reminded Luo Erzhu.

Because Australia was discovered. and Jay Chou's discovery of Southeast Asia. Therefore, after making contact with the city of Jinshan, the indigenous people of Australia and the indigenous people of Southeast Asia. But it's bad luck.

They were captured by the Seven Fortress Legions, which had been established in Australia, and sent to the city of Gold Hill to be used as slaves.

Anyway, this is a business without capital, and the government here in Jinshan City pays the Australian army by the head. This can be regarded as a step forward for the army stationed in Australia, so the garrison in Australia has made this business very prosperous.

And on the Southeast Asian side, where fortress garrisons were being built, the Imperial Army and Navy also began to do this business.

Compared to the Australian garrison, their methods are more brutal.

Therefore, most of the slaves here in Jinshan City are Australian aborigines and Southeast Asian aborigines. This is completely different from the East Coast shore, where the shores are full of blacks and Arab slaves.

When Luo Erzhu heard this, he waved his hand again and again.

"I can do it alone, don't I have a cow? It's a big deal that I can do more hours every day, and now that I owe money for farm implements and ploughing cattle, I don't dare buy any slaves. “

Luo Erzhu's idea is not wrong.

After all, he is now considered to be a person who owes a debt.

A full set of farm implements plus ploughing oxen is more than a hundred taels of silver.

With such a large sum of money on his body, how could Luo Erzhu still have the money to buy slaves.

Besides, according to Luo Erzhu's concept, even if he has money, he may not necessarily buy it. This is related to some oriental concepts, because he feels that it is too much to buy a slave and come back with food and drink.

If the slave doesn't work or something, won't he die at a loss?

After hearing this, the little head did not continue to persuade him.

After all, this is Luo Erzhu's own choice, and he can't force it.

"In the evening, a construction team will come over, and you will meet their foreman, and he will show you the construction drawings. When the time comes, you can choose one from the drawings as you like your home to look like. “

The little head of the Ministry of Agriculture said something else to Luo Erzhu.

Yes, Luo Erzhu and they have now divided the land, but they don't have a house yet.

You can't always live in a migrant camp.

So, now it's time to think about building them a house.

Of course, the house is not free.

Luo Erzhu nodded.

As for the house, these immigrants all know what is going on.

Like farm tools and ploughing cattle, they are all built up for them to live in, and then they can slowly repay the house payment.

As for the interest or something, it's just a little bit.

Fortunately, my wife and daughter found an errand and had an income of eight taels of silver every month.

Therefore, as long as you work hard for a year, you will be able to pay off these arrears by next year.

"Thank you for reminding me, the villain has learned the truth."

The little head smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll go over there first, your affairs here are almost over." You can just wait here, the farm tools and ploughing cattle will be delivered, and the construction team will come later. “

"Slow down, adults." , Luo Erzhu was busy bowing and saluting.

Luo Erzhu, who straightened up, turned around and continued to focus on his own land.

I don't get tired of looking at it, this is my land.

In the light of the setting sun, the half-human-tall weeds in the distance swayed slightly.

From time to time, the chirping of insects could be heard in the grass.

Luo Erzhu closed his eyes and felt all this with all his attention.

The breeze blows on his body, which makes people feel lazy in such an environment.

Needless to say, the environment in the Americas is extremely beautiful.

Not to mention that here in the Americas, there is still an unexplored primitive ecology.

Immigrants like Luo Erzhu and them, as long as they are diligent people, it is absolutely impossible for them to starve to death here in the Americas.

Especially after Jinshan City gave them the land, the immigrants who had the land in their hands didn't have to worry about not being able to survive.

Unless some of these immigrants are out of tune.

I don't know how Lu Dao's wife and daughter-in-law are doing now?

Come to think of it, now the two of them have followed the young lady back to the mansion, right?

At this time, Luo Erzhu thought of the Luo Liu family who left and his daughter Luo Chunxi...... (To be continued......)
