Chapter 428: A New Life
Soon.
The rumor-mongers gave an account of everything they knew, and behind their backs, they instructed them to cause trouble everywhere, and it was the local gentry in Shandong who spread the rumors.
The squires saw their large number of tenants and began to want to go to Annam.
That?
When everyone is gone, who will farm for themselves?
This was a great deal for the landlords and gentry, who depended not so much on their own land as on the tenant farmers who could work for their own homes.
Without them, wouldn't it be possible to let yourself work in the fields and grow food?
That's why they came up with the idea of such a way.
Trying to intimidate tenant farmers who wanted to leave for Dongfan or Annam.
...
All the time.
There is a kind of entanglement between the imperial power and the squire and landlords, which has been mainly reflected for a long time.
Behind the imperial power, there is the gentry class.
Since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, these evil gentry who were rampant and domineering in the township were regarded as killing their father's enemies, after all, there was a large-scale peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty.
The squire occupies one of the influential factors.
And when this group of people dared to block Zhu Youzhen's immigration plan, there was no doubt that Zhu Youzhen decided to do it!
"If there are such people who dare to provoke right and wrong in the immigration plan, they will be punished for disobeying the holy decree! Raid your home and go to jail! ”
"Minister, obey!"
Guo Zhen from the Criminal Department nodded heavily, and then hurriedly went down to draft the text.
...
Annam, at the mouth of the Red River.
Now it has changed dramatically from when the Pingnan Army came here.
A large number of fishing ports, wharves, Pingnan Army even built a small city not far from the mouth of the sea, and the Ming migrant ships that had just arrived here.
As soon as they arrived at the port, the people on the bow of the ship began to cheer and jump.
Long sea voyages are not fun after all. Except for the last stop in Qiongzhou, which is later Hainan, after a stop, the people have not seen what the land looks like for a long time.
"Arrived? It's here! We're in Annam! ”
"That's right! It's finally here... I can't even remember how long we were on the boat! ”
Despite the fact that there is nothing missing on board.
Fresh water, food, and resettlement were prepared at the ports of origin before the start of the program.
and at any of the supply points along the way.
are able to get adequate supplies.
"Disembark! We're here! ”
Today's Annan has been planned in advance by Huo Weihua... A large area of fertile land was set aside for the people of the Ming Dynasty, and it was planned as a resettlement area for the Ming Dynasty.
And such resettlement areas as a whole extend along the central part to the south.
Mountains to the north.
was not looked at by Huo Weihua at all.
As for where the original Annam peasants have gone... Some of them were "properly" resettled by Huo Weihua to a more southerly place, and some of them were resettled in the northern part of Annam.
Others have even been placed directly on an island overseas.
The people of the Ming Dynasty still have to ask for advice, as voluntary as possible.. It is even necessary to use a huge propaganda weapon to mobilize the people, but when facing the Annanite people.
Where does Huo Weihua understand how to write the word polite.
Either you go, or you're an outcast from this moment on.
..
"Don't mess around, everyone! According to the number of different boats, we will receive our own identity cards at the corresponding resettlement points, which will be necessary for the allocation of land at that time! ”
Allocation of land??
An official was constantly speaking to the people who had just disembarked with an iron horn, but when it came to the final distribution of land, the people instantly boiled.
"How much land can we get! It's really like what the newspapers say! Does one man have a hundred acres? ”
Ma Laojiu was the first to speak.
The other villagers next to him pulled him one after another, seemingly dissatisfied with why he was the first to speak.
If you are not familiar with life, it is not a good thing to be in the limelight.
But.. But the official's eyes lit up!
Hurriedly spoke:
"That's right! That's right.... What the uncle said just now is not wrong at all, the policies stipulated by the imperial court are all non-discriminatory, everyone comes to Annam, and after a short period of settlement, they can receive their own land! ”
After finishing speaking, the Daming immigrants present burst into cheers!
One hundred acres!
That's a hundred acres!
It's still a hundred acres of fertile land that everyone has!
In the days that followed.
Ma Lao Jiu lived a life that he had never thought of before, and in Annam, it seemed that nothing was so lacking... In the mountains and forests not far away, he even saw many trees with rotten fruits.
"If this were in our hometown... When there is a famine, I am afraid that even the bark of the trees will be stripped away! ”
Ma Laojiu just finished speaking.
Beside him, an official from the resettlement site approached and said with a smile: "You don't know... Compared with our Shandong, there is a big difference between Annan! ”
Ma Laojiu was a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "My lord!?" Are you also from Shandong? ”
"Yes! I've known for a long time that all of us on our ship are our fellow villagers from Shandong, so I specially applied to be our guide in Annam! Speaking of.. Don't call me sir! ”
"I... When we have settled all our big guys, we will welcome the next batch of immigrants! ”
After speaking, Ma Laojiu was a little puzzled.
Although the officials in his hometown are not as high as in previous years, how can they be so easy to get along with the young man in front of him, and then said cautiously: "Hey! You are an adult... I'm just a peasant, if there's something offended... Please don't blame you! ”
"Look at what you said. Uncle, you still can't take me as a fellow countryman! ”
"I'll tell you about it."
"This Annan, the land is fertile... Four seasons of evergreen, the annual grain can be up to three crops! That is, you can plant three stubbles! ”
As soon as he said this, Ma Laojiu instantly exclaimed!
"I'm going to be a good one! Can you plant three crops a year? Isn't this 100 acres of land catching up with the 300 acres of our hometown in Shandong? ”
The young man at the resettlement site smiled and said: "This is still a little different, because the weather in Annan is very different from our hometown in Shandong, so although the grain can be harvested three times a year... However, due to the short maturity period, the yield is not as good as ours in Shandong! ”
"But the missing part is more than being able to get three crops a year. It's not a big deal! ”
After finishing speaking, the officials of the resettlement site got up and said, "We will have a special explanation at the resettlement site in the evening, and you must listen to it when the time comes!" ”
"Good..! Let's go as a family! ”
