Chapter 1 The spring breeze blows and grows again

Shengming three years of winter.

Da Zhou has spent three stormy years.

Winter came especially early this year, and almost all the state capitals south of the Jian'an River were faced with the problem of how to accommodate the southbound migrants.

In fact, with the sheer size of the south, it was not difficult to accommodate these people.

The most troublesome thing is not "people", but "flow".

However, the only thing to be thankful for is that as early as the 45th year of Jianxi, there were already several sets of solutions that had been practiced in the Pyeonggyo area.

The main principle of these programmes is to bring displaced people to settle in unexplored mountains and forests, and to provide as much tax exemption and support as possible for settlement.

Therefore, from the first year of the Shengming Dynasty, each state capital has implemented its own strategy of resettlement of displaced people in its own territory - on the one hand, it can consume the labor force of the displaced people, so that they have something to do, and on the other hand, they can actually erect houses and new fields.

With the new inhabitants brought new troubles, and there were many differences between the north and the south beyond people's imagination, from eating rice or noodles on a daily basis, to whether or not to rub one's back in the bath...... It's different.

Take bathing as an example, northerners must bring a very rough towel to the bathhouse, rub it first and then wash it, and don't stop rubbing the whole body red - the custom of rubbing the bath, except for Pingjing and Huizhou, where northerners often come and go, is basically not seen in the south.

So every time the southerners see the northerners taking a bath, they are red, and they can't understand it, and after knowing that they are used to rubbing the bath, they privately ridicule the northerners as "red-skinned guys";

And the northerners soon discovered that the southerners really only soaked in the bath, and always liked to throw a lot of flowers and plants into the soup pool, which was called a medicinal bath - but how to wash it clean.

So the northerners privately called the southerners "southern mud monkeys".

After the initial curiosity, because of disputes over fields, mountains and forests, or water sources, the northerners who initially settled down soon "fought" with the locals.

If you want to live, you have to fight for it, the size of the southerners is generally shorter than the northerners, but they have many local relatives, and when they encounter injustice, they call their relatives to go together, and the northerners have suffered a few losses from fewer people, and they also hug each other.

So from the beginning of the one-on-one brawl, it later developed into a joint weapon fight in several villages.

Things are getting bigger and bigger, and at the top of the list, is this still a problem?

But that's really hard.

In the face of the difference between the north and the south, the magistrates and counties in various places have little experience for a while-

If you favor the southerners, then the northerners are still living and working in this place.

If you favor the northerners, then the local squire will definitely point his nose and scold you, and turn his elbow outward, are you fucking or not our parents?

You have to do everything in business, okay, that is, the southerners and northerners have the same hatred and hatred, and they think that you must have received money from the other party.

So in the middle of that year, the prefects of the state capitals went to Pingjing to report on their work, and everyone hugged their heads and cried one after another, discussing solutions.

Zheng Mi waved his hand - what's so difficult about this? Marriage!

So in the second half of the year, the state governments have come up with different new policies, as long as there is a family in the southerner village and the northerner village intermarriage, that village can enjoy different degrees of tax reduction, and the intermarriage family can also get a plaque and real money reward from the government.

By the second year of the Ming Dynasty, many villages had men and women with foreign accents.

Now things will be easy to do.

On the one hand, everyone has such a relationship as in-laws, and many conflicts can be mediated and resolved by going to the local ancestral hall to find Elder Lizheng;

On the other hand, even if the ancestral hall of the village ceremony can't be suppressed and makes trouble to the government, Nazhi County will have full experience with the mud - no matter if you are a southerner or a northerner, now they are all a family.

All the problems of etiquette and righteousness, those with low seniority have to give way to those with high seniority; In terms of money, those with high seniority have to give way to those with low seniority......

As for saying that there is no in-law relationship in the family - it can be seen how unwilling you are to respond to the call of the above, such a diao people, and dare to come to the yamen to complain, this official does not beat you first twenty boards, it is simply ashamed of the ancestors and the emperor!

In this way, after the first batch of pilot villages settle down, there will be a place for displaced people to come over.

With relatives and fellow villagers, the homeless people also became commoners and began to settle down.

New terraces have appeared on the stretches of mountain forests, farmers and craftsmen have stepped on new paths, and the winding and blowing procession of relatives has passed the ridges of the farmers' fields from time to time, attracting a burst of children's laughter and chase.

Countless Zhou people are like seeds blown by the wind, slowly taking root here.

The north has become their hometown that they can't go back to, but there are always more important things to do in life than nostalgia - there is no frozen winter in the south, rice can be harvested twice a year, and the work in the fields is busier.

They quickly adapted to the solar terms here, and also brought new customs and habits.

In the autumn of the third year of Shengming, Zhuozhou resisted the autumn criminals of the Jin people for the first time in these three years, and some of the people who escaped death that year went south, and some returned to live here.

Not only was it hit hard in the autumn of the 45th year of Jianxi, but it also became a battlefield that was attacked by the Jin people in the autumn of the first and second years of Shengming.

The gold thieves seem to come once a year - in the end, it is the terrain and old city walls of Zhuozhou that have suffered, making it the weakest breach in the four northern states.

Thanks to the sudden cooling of this year, the soldiers carried water and poured it on the stone wall overnight, and the entire city wall was frozen into ice lumps the next morning, although this was almost devastating to the already fragile wall, but it didn't matter, everything could be repaired in the late spring of the next year.

Their time was very limited, but when the weather warmed up, troops from Yanzhou and Fuzhou would come to help.

Arslan, the suzerain, was not quite the same as the suzerains or tribal leaders who had invaded the Zhou Land in the past few times.

He had no nostalgia for the Zhou people's cities, he killed the men, robbed the women and the grain, and then let the Zhou people recuperate here until the following autumn to come back to harvest.

In the forty-fifth year of Jianxi, after Arslan personally led his troops into the hinterland of the Great Zhou, he lost a lot of good feelings about this place - the Zhou people liked farming, and the plains were full of farmland and little grassland.

The city here is full of stone and wood houses, and the ground is made of brick......

It is not suitable for cattle and sheep grazing at all.

So the weak Great Zhou was temporarily designated by Arslan as his rear supply depot - the battle that really made his blood boil was farther west, where there were vast steppes and warriors who were just as proud as he was.

The conquest of the lion was more painful and urgent for him than the conquest of the sheep.

The young emperor, who was located in Pingjing, was also able to take a breather.

The rival in the north was suddenly so strong that it gave almost everyone a blow to the head and woke everyone up.

All the forced parting of life and death in the war was written into lyrics, sung from the north to the south, from the east to the west, singing all the Zhou people to tears, singing all the Zhou people tightened their teeth.

This year, Bai Ling was fourteen years old, Bai Yi was twenty years old, and Chen Yicong was seventeen years old.
