Out of Shanhaiguan, it is the boundary of Liaodong. There is a clear difference between this and Hebei in Guanli.

The first is that the villages still live in villages, and each village has walls and moats. Ten years later, the people of Liaodong still have a strong sense of crisis. The wooden walled city, which was built in a hurry, is now a brick and stone wall.

On the city wall, there is a clear tooth flag with black characters on a red background, which is hunted by the wind.

Although the city wall is no longer useful, the people of Liaodong still stubbornly built the city wall. Every village is a fortress of battle. In front of the gate under the city wall, there are half-grown children with red tassel guns standing guard, and when they see strangers, they come up to ask them vigilantly.

In the arrow tower above the walled city, there are also guys wearing dogskin hats with fire guns on their backs, looking down on the road condescendingly.

In the distance, groups of villagers are working in the fields under the leadership of the village chief. It is still the original production team model, and most of the villagers here are immigrants from the Guannai. There are residents of Liaodong who were ruined by the Tartars, and there are homeless people who worked as beggars in the capital of the Ming Dynasty.

The huge mental trauma and the upheaval of life filled them with a sense of crisis. Everywhere these people go, they look like cats with persecution paranoia. Living in a group makes them feel strong, as if a wandering lone wolf has found a pack that accepts them.

The collective consciousness radiated a strong vitality in the land of Liaodong, and it was by relying on the collective consciousness and the humble city that they resisted the harassment of the Jurchen rangers. Now, they are working collectively under the impetus of collective consciousness.

The land belongs to everyone, and the harvest belongs to everyone.

Originally, Li Xiao thought that in such a situation, there would always be lazy people. No matter how industrious the group is, there are still a few parasites who like to get something for nothing. What he saw surprised Li Xiao very much!

"What is Big Brother looking at?" Li Hao saw Li Xiao constantly looking at the ground, and asked a little strangely. He didn't understand what was so nice about loose soil.

"Why aren't any lazy?" Li Xiao muttered strangely.

"Uh......! Should there be lazy? Li Hao didn't understand why Li Xiao thought so.

"In this kind of collective labor, there will always be people who feel that they do more and do less. There are always people who want to do less, why can't you see it here? ”

"Handsome! Second-rate people are available everywhere, but they may be difficult to find in Liaodong. "Xiong Cixu had a drink with Li Xiao yesterday, and now he dares to speak. On the way from Shanhaiguan to Jinzhou, he and Li Hao were about to go badly. The situation here, the two of them are clear.

"Oh! Why is that? Xiong Cixu's words aroused Li Xiao's interest.

"Dashuai, you don't know, there were second-rate people in the village before. The village chiefs' way to deal with the second-rate son was to call on everyone to discuss and drive him out of the village on the coldest day. "3949 froze to death the dog, this is the coldest time in Liaodong, the ground can freeze and crack.

A person who freezes for a night in the wild can only survive by constantly walking and running. The next morning, the villagers would pick him up. At this time, no matter how lazy the second-rate son is, he will cry bitterly and beg his parents and fellow villagers to let him go and work hard in the future.

"Then he pretended to change his ways, and he was still lazy when he worked in the summer, so what should he do?" Li Xiao was even more puzzled.

"Handsome! No one dares to do this, and the whole of Liaodong has a strict household registration system. On weekdays, even if they visit relatives, few people stay overnight. So it is impossible for these people to leave the village at all. Because they leave the village, they have no place to stay.

Since they can't go, the lazy people can only stay in the village. When winter returned, he was once again driven out of the walled city. No one will save him the next day, and these people will fend for themselves in the wild. Now there are fewer such things, and Brother Hao and I have never seen it. I can hear people say that in the first few years. On the road, you can see frozen corpses, and no one collects them. Just waiting for the wild wolves and wild dogs to gnaw or something, and the one who died is called miserable.

You said, who would dare to do this with the appearance of a baby. ”

It turns out that this is the case, and Li Xiao can understand it. The solid household registration system keeps these people firmly in control of the village. Even when you go out to catch a set, you need a guide, otherwise you won't even be able to pass the children's group members.

In fact, when such a policy was formulated, it was because it was afraid that these guys, who were already homeless people, would escape. Unexpectedly, there are such benefits.

"Then if the village chief wants to punish someone, isn't that person dead?" Li Xiao immediately remembered that the bully village chief who appeared in Jizhou.

"Big brother, don't worry about this. There will never be that kind of bully village chief here! Because these people are all displaced people from all over the world, including Liaodong people, Guanzhong people, Hebei people, Shandong people, Shanxi people, and even Jiangnan people.

With so many displaced people together, there will be no clan power in the interior. The village chiefs here are all elected by the villagers. Basically, they are all people who are highly respected and have good conduct. The kind of bully village chief you are talking about will definitely not be able to play here. ”

"Oh! I see. Li Xiao nodded, but he didn't expect that he would accidentally break the barrier of clan power.

These people were originally displaced refugees, and then migrated all the way from Guannai to Liaodong. The clan, which was strong in itself, had fallen apart in the process of fleeing. If you want to form it again, it is estimated that it will not be able to form a climate in three to five hundred years.

"Moreover, the village head is re-elected every two years, and the village head who has been elected three times in a row will not be allowed to be re-elected in the future. Therefore, there are not so many dirty things here in Liaodong. Moreover, most of the local officials in Liaodong are demobilized officers of the Liao Army, and some are local scholars in Liaodong.

Liaodong was already despised by the imperial court, and the literati here were naturally not treated well by those in the Donglin Party. Therefore, they and the Xiucai people in the Donglin Party points in the Guannai can't pee in the same pot. Li Hao also explained to Li Xiao to prove that he had not been abandoned this year.

"I see!" Li Xiao nodded, it is rare that Liaodong is a hot land, and it still retains this innocence.

"In the past two years, the imperial court has recruited troops, and Liaodong is the most active place to recruit. Behold, the men who work in the ground. Most of them are women, the elderly, and half-grown children, and some men are also middle-aged people in their forties. In order to reward Liaodong, the official family stipulated that the harvest in the land of Liaodong only needed to be handed over one achievement. If it is a flood year, they will be exempted from money and food.

The people here only know that there is a big brother, but they don't know that there is a court. If you let them know, the person walking on the road is you, the big brother. Countless people will come to the side of the road to kowtow to you! Speaking of these, Li Hao's face was very proud.

The person that everyone admires is their eldest brother.

"Tang Taizong said that water can carry a boat and also capsize a boat. Since these people have contributed to the imperial court, they should be rewarded. Moreover, military dependents should have been given preferential treatment. It's not a lip service, but it needs to be really good.

During the Chinese New Year and festivals, the local government will beat gongs and drums to send money and food to military families. The door of every house must be plastered with a glorious sign for joining the army. In the future, military families will have priority in seeing a doctor, going to school, and traveling in a public carriage. The soldiers shed blood in the front, and the court must not let their families shed tears in the rear. Li Xiao thought that after he went back, he would have to tell Ai Husheng to handle this matter, because this guy can always get money.

When passing by the village, a sturdy half-grown boy like a calf at the door blocked the way with a red tassel gun.

Li Xiao didn't wait to speak, Xiong Cixu urged him to step forward. He took out a token in his hand and handed it to the half-sized children.

Seeing the token in Xiong Cixu's hand, the half-grown children immediately let go to the side of the road and saluted the respectful group.

"This is for the convenience of walking, and I specially asked for the brand that Governor Wang wanted. With this brand, you can walk smoothly in the whole of Liaodong without any obstacles. ”
