The man surnamed Guo took the note handed over by the young man surnamed Yang and put it away closely, and carried the package on his back, "It's not too early, I still have to go to the county seat to report, but I can't delay, Brother Yang, you better go back!" ”

"Today happens to be the last day of the rest of the day, I also have to go back to school to study, I will go to the county seat with Brother Guo, and after the Yamen finishes recording the name, I will not be able to leave tomorrow morning, and I will accompany Brother Guo to drink two glasses tonight." www.biquge.info"The boy surnamed Yang was reluctant to separate now, so the two of them went to the county seat together, and then found a tavern to drink beautifully, and then dispersed, the man surnamed Guo went to the temporary residence arranged by the imperial court to open up the shop, and the boy surnamed Yang returned to the dormitory of the school to prepare for the next day's study.

"Brother Arida, I heard that this is not less than a thousand miles to Hedong Road, and I am always a little unsure in my heart!" Early in the morning of the second day, hundreds of immigrants who were ready to go to Hedong Province were gathered and embarked on the road to the north under the leadership of several soldiers, and a skinny young man said to the man surnamed Guo that yesterday Guo Youtian was appointed as the leader of this group of immigrants because he was still healthy and honest.

"Wang Erniu, let's see what it is?" Guo Youtian stretched out his hand and pointed ahead, only to see a soldier driving the ox cart forward, "That cart is loaded with food for us, can you still be hungry?" Moreover, these military masters have all fought with the northern captives, and they are not afraid even if they encounter bandits; There is food and drink, there is a military master to protect us, and there are avenues along the way, and there is a post station to rest not far away, what else do you have to worry about? ”

In this era, it is very difficult to go far away, so in order to do a good job in immigration, the imperial court has made a lot of preparations in advance, basically the road and post station are built there, and the last life will be absorbed from the place, and there are capable Jiazhou soldiers along the way, these soldiers in addition to protecting and leading the way, they also have to deal with the post houses and government offices along the way, and obtain supplies from there, and even each team of soldiers has a soldier with rough medical skills to carry common medicines to follow, Ensure that the vast majority of these people can reach Hedong Road safely.

The brigade is divided into a team of ten people, led by a squad leader, and the ten teams are combined into a team, which is managed by Guo Youtian, and these soldiers are scattered in the front and back of the team and in the middle, never leaving anyone behind; Most of these men were peasants, and they were rarely so restrained, and at first the ranks were often chaotic, but with the sticks of the escort soldiers and the efforts of the squad leaders, they quickly got used to this method, and the procession gradually became neat and the speed of the march gradually increased.

"Captain Guo, I'm afraid the road I walked today is five miles longer than yesterday, and it's getting late, so I should be able to rest directly after I get to the place to eat, right?" Seeing the banner of the post house in front of him, Wang Erniu asked, it has been more than a month since the departure, probably because he can eat enough every day, Wang Erniu is no longer as thin as he was at the beginning.

"You kid wants to be lazy again." Seeing that he was so lazy, Guo Youtian shook his head and said, "Aren't these military masters hard to explain to us every day?" No one is tired, but you are out of nowhere! And what they talk about every day is the trick to survive in Hedong Road, if you don't listen to it now, you can sleep a little longer, but when Hedong Road uses these in the future, you can't cry! ”

It turned out that the journey was not just a journey, but in the process of the march these soldiers could develop their discipline and teamwork skills, and at each post station to rest, after eating, the soldiers would gather these people together and light lamps to explain to them all the knowledge needed to live in Hedong Province.

From the weather and terrain of Hedong Province, the crops suitable for cultivation, to the wild beasts on the mountain, how to deal with them, and how the imperial court will settle them after arriving in Hedong Province, to ensure that these people can familiarize themselves with the situation in Hedong Province as soon as possible and open up enough land as soon as possible.

To this end, the imperial court was able to compile a number of easy-to-understand pamphlets and distribute them to the soldiers of each team to preach to these immigrants, and thanks to the Jiazhou army's emphasis on the importance of soldiers' literacy from the beginning, they were able to find enough men to accomplish this task.

"What Captain Guo said is that I thought that I had done farm work for more than ten years, and I still needed to be taught by others, but after listening to a few classes, I realized that my previous skills were nothing at all." Along the way, Guo Youtian's prestige rose rapidly because of his fairness and helpfulness, and everyone gradually called him the captain instead of his name, and according to the captain of the escort team, Guo Youtian was likely to be appointed as the village chief after arriving in Hedong Province.

"Hedong Road and Shannan Dongdao are different, I am afraid that the rice we planted in Shannan Dongdao cannot be planted in Hedong Road, and many crafts have to be learned from scratch! If it weren't for the patient teaching of these military masters, we would have to suffer losses for several years in Hedong Road to figure out these truths. Guo Youtian also said with emotion.

"It's one thing to listen to them, and it's another thing to do it yourself when the time comes, and I still don't know the bottom in my heart." Wang Erniu was worried again, what he talked about in the previous class was a little vague now, not to mention that after he arrived in Hedong Dao, he couldn't say that he would have forgotten it long ago when he really wanted to use these skills.

"Don't worry, listen to what the military master said, when the time comes, two old people will be left in each new village to take care of us, and when the time comes, just listen to them like now." Guo Youtian, the captain, is not in vain, and the news is much better than them.

After another month, they finally reached their final destination, and after checking the list and identity, the men were scattered and assigned to different new villages, and at first some wanted to stay in the same village with their familiar fellow villagers, but the officials in charge of the assignment sternly refused.

When familiar people are divided into one piece, it is easy for them to unite and form a new clan, but this is something that Li You has to take strict precautions against, so he will disrupt and resettle these people.

Although they were not assigned to a village with Wang Erniu, Guo Youtian still became the head of a new village because of the recommendation of the accompanying army chief and passed the assessment of local officials, where they will start to build houses, build villages, and open up wasteland under the guidance of the old people sent by the government.
