There was a mess in the camp, countless families were packing up their things, anger was spreading in the camp, and the news came out at noon that their group of immigrants was not going to Ryukyu at all, but to Luzon, where was Luzon? The people knew nothing but that it was far away, and that some people who were a little regretful were fanning the flames in it, and the discontent spread quickly in the camp.

However, there are also many people who are bent on emigrating, and this group of people is mainly from Suide County and Mizhi County, Yan'an Prefecture, whose hometown has experienced eight droughts in ten years, and this year's spring drought is particularly serious, and they still have to pay rent at the end of the year, so they really can't survive, and either their whole families go to become displaced people, or they emigrate overseas.

They are not the first batch of Yan'an Prefecture, the first batch of immigrants from Yan'an Prefecture went to Kunzhou ten years ago, and it is said that they are living very well, every household is full of grain warehouses and cabinets, and there is no tax and labor, it is simply the life of the Heavenly Palace.

So when the recruitment of immigrants began again, these 2,000 people from Yan'an Mansion preemptively registered, waiting for the better days to come.

These people don't care where they go, they care more about how much land they can share, how big a house they can live in, and how much food they subsidize each month before the harvest.

And the troublemakers are mainly the border people of Hebei Road, with the people of Zhendingfu and Dingzhou being the majority, if it was in the past, they were still worried about the threat of war, and now the Song and Liao armistice has been suspended for decades, and the war has long been away from them, plus the natural conditions are much better than Shaanxi Road, even if they are tenants, as long as they work hard, they can support themselves.

This group of people is mainly yearning for a better life, and their local concept is very heavy, even if they emigrate overseas, many people consider letting their children come back, so they are reluctant to go away, Ryukyu Mansion is the farthest distance they can accept, if it is not for the government to fool them, Shangyuan Festival can come to Quanzhou to see the lanterns, otherwise they are really unwilling to leave their hometown.

This group of people about 2,600 households, when they arrived in Yangzhou, many people regretted it, did not want to go south, the government persuaded them to come to Quanzhou, now I heard that they went to Luzon Fu, they suddenly exploded, dead or alive refused to go again, have packed up and prepared to return to their hometown.

At this time, Fanning came to the camp, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather the people, and he had something to explain.

In fact, there were no soldiers, and whether they were depressed or angry, everyone was anxious for accurate information, and when they heard that the supreme commander was going to give them a clear explanation, the people came from all directions, and soon surrounded the high platform.

Fanning took a wooden loudspeaker and shouted to everyone: "There are three places for everyone to choose, one is Xiaoliuqiu Island, a three-day flight from Quanzhou, there is already Liuli County, and it is necessary to supplement part of the population, give two hectares to Ueda, tax-free within 50 years, a Ryukyu Mansion, a two-day voyage from Quanzhou, the county seat has not yet been built, give Ueda two hectares, tax-free within 50 years; Another is Luzon Prefecture, in the southwest of Quanzhou, a five-day voyage, there is a ready-made house, give three hectares of Ueda, tax exemption within 50 years, and the three local governments are not compulsory, they choose by themselves. ”

When the people heard that they were not forced to do so, they chose not to force it, and their anxious mood finally calmed down.

Then someone asked aloud, "What if I don't want to go and want to go home?" ”

Fan Ning replied calmly: "If you really don't want to go overseas, we are not reluctant, you can stay in Quanzhou as a tenant farmer, or we will send it to Yangzhou, and you can find a way to return to your hometown by yourself." ”

The crowd of black oppressors suddenly fell silent, and Fan Ning said again: "The whole family will discuss it together, register early tomorrow morning, and set off the day after tomorrow!" ”

Everyone dispersed, and Fanning did not leave, he and Su Liang patrolled around.

"Looks like you're having to give in, too!" Su Liang smiled slightly.

Fanning shook his head, "I'm not giving in, originally I meant well, everything in the Ryukyu Mansion has to start from scratch, it will be very difficult, and the Luzon Mansion has the foundation laid by the Luzon State, it is much easier to start, since they don't appreciate it, I can't help it." ”

"That's because you didn't make it clear to everyone at all, so you told them how much land to give, and how to choose them?"

Fan Ning smiled and patted Su Liang's shoulder, "This task will be handed over to you, you arrange it and explain this matter to everyone clearly." ”

"This is your business, I'm just afraid that they will make trouble to help, you have so many officials in the Jingluo Mansion, just gather the county elders to talk about it, why do you have to push it on me."

"Those who can work hard! If you don't behave well in front of me, how will I promote you in the future? ”

Su Liang is a little unconfident, he is only a sixth-grade official, Fan Ning is already a third-grade official, and he really has no room for bargaining.

Seeing his bitter face, Fan Ning smiled and said, "I will send thirty officials to help you, and then you will arrange the deployment in a unified manner, and I will think about other things, so I don't care about this matter." ”

Su Liang was helpless, so he had to nod.

At this time, Fanning saw that there were a lot of people in a large tent next to him, so he walked in.

Inside was a big family discussing, they recognized Fan Ning, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly got out of the way, and the old man in the family stepped forward to kowtow to Fan Ning, "Xiao Min Mai Danian see the envoy of the scriptures." ”

"Uncle Mai is from Yan'an Mansion?" Fanning could hear his accent.

The old man nodded, "We are from Suide County, three sons, two daughters-in-law, and my wife, three grandsons and a granddaughter. ”

"You didn't split up?"

"It's divided, my wife and I live with our youngest son, Dalang and Erlang are independent, this time I brought everyone together, as well as my two brothers and sister's family, a big family, almost more than 30 people."

Fanning invited the old man to sit down, waved his hand for everyone to sit down, and he smiled again and asked, "How did you think of going overseas to make a living?" ”

The old man sighed and said: "I have a nephew stationed in Kunzhou, he later stayed in Kunzhou, married a Japanese woman, gave birth to two sons, he later wrote a letter to his father, that is, my brother, the family went to Kunzhou, last year I received his letter, I knew that they were living well in Kunzhou, every day big fish and meat are tired of eating, our family is rare to see meat stars all year round, so envy, today there is a spring drought, we rent at least half of the land, even pay rent is not enough, It happened that the government was recruiting people to go to the Ryukyu Prefecture, so I didn't hesitate to sign up. ”

Fanning nodded and asked, "There are three places to choose, so where do you want to go?" ”

Mai Danian's eldest son asked, "What is going on in Liuli County?" ”

"Liuli County is an island, a little bigger than Kaifeng Mansion, there are now 300 households there, ready to increase to 1,300 households, the scenery is very beautiful, it will be a very quiet and comfortable place in the future, the only fly in the ointment is that some daily necessities should be imported from the Great Song Dynasty, such as porcelain, tea, ironware and so on."

The old man asked: "Our family has two opinions, my wife and I want to go to Ryukyu Province, and we always feel that Ryukyu Mansion is closer to Quanzhou, but my three sons want to go to Luzon Island, because they are struggling with giving an extra hectare of land." ”

Fan Ning smiled slightly: "Actually, I also advise you to go to Luzon Island, Luzon Island is just south of Ryukyu Island, in fact, it is not far from Quanzhou, and more importantly, there was originally a Luzon country there, and the Luzon country has been relocated by the whole country, leaving a radius of dozens of miles of flat land, houses have been built, and you can live there, and you have to participate in logging and building houses to go to Ryukyu Prefecture, and it will take at least next year to settle down." ”

"Is there anything bad about Luzon?"

"Luzon is relatively hot, there is no winter all year round, and there is no need to wear cotton clothes, but it also has the advantage of planting three seasons of rice a year, and each mu of land must produce at least ten stone of rice a year."

Da Lang and Erlang glanced at each other, a family of three acres of land, harvesting 3,000 stone of rice a year, it was almost to shock them, for the farmers, they only care about whether they can have an old snack to fill their stomachs, as for the hot weather, they don't have to think about it at all, isn't it hot to be hot? You can also save money on winter clothes and charcoal.

"Envoy, is it really a family giving three hectares of land?"

Fanning said with a smile: "Each household has a premise for giving three hectares of land, that is, it can't be wasted, if your family only has two old people and can't plant three hectares of land, then you can give the land to your son, or you can rent it, but you are not allowed to sell it, there is really no way, then give one hectare of land, and then make up a little grain and rice every month, if Dalang is very good at farming, and one person can plant five hectares of land, that's good, I'll give you two more hectares of official land, don't want your rent, the harvest is all your own, but these two hectares are the government's, and you can't inherit it to your son, understand?" ”

Mai Danian discussed it with his sons and said to Fanning: "We have decided, let's go to Luzon Mansion!" ”
