Three months later.

Shanxi, Pingyang Province, Hongdong County.

Under an ancient locust tree.

Thousands of immigrants, hand in hand, helping the old and the young, were lined up to receive silver money under the scolding of the township officials sent by the imperial court.

Fearing that they would escape, the migrants tied their hands and feet with ropes......

However, they are also accustomed to it, during the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people in Shanxi, dozens of households used a kitchen knife, and the noodles could only be cut with bamboo chips, so they also invented the knife to cut the noodles.

Since the fifteenth year of Hongwu, large-scale immigration from the north of the Ming Dynasty began.

The immigrants from Shanxi mainly migrated to the south of Shaanxi, Gansu and Henan.

There are also some key places in Ningxia where water and grass are abundant, but the population is scarce, and there are Shanxi immigrants.

In the land of Shanxi, because of the bewitchment of the monks and Buddhas for a long time, the villagers here believe in Buddhism very much, but the sinicization of this place is also very deep, and there have been many famous businessmen, romantic scholars, and ancient nouns have been handed down.

From the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, and then to the Liao, Jin, Yuan, Shanxi has always retained a strong clan culture, Buddhism flourished, Sinology was strong, and it was also an important trade route in the Yuan Dynasty, so it was very rich, not only producing vinegar, but also producing fine wine.

Yuan Dynasty Daci Yuan asked a good question, so he wrote "Pu Tao Wine Fu", comparing the wine of Dayuan with the wine of the Western Regions such as Dashi, and combined with the description of wine recorded in the ancient books of the Tang Dynasty, comparing the taste difference between ancient and modern wines.

There is a custom of brewing liquor here since ancient times, the Jin Dynasty dedicated the technique of brewing and distilling liquor to the Taoist priest Xiao Baozhen of the Emperor of the Great Jin Kingdom, although he preached in Hebei and Henan, but he visited the famous mountain and ancient cave house in the deep mountains of Shanxi, and obtained the immortal recipe for brewing liquor.

Moutai, which was very famous in time and space in the previous life, had something to do with the Shanxi soldiers who were sent to Guizhou and other places to garrison the border.

In the Great Yuan Dynasty, many Western merchants took the Silk Road to Shaanxi, and then went from Shaanxi to Shanxi to the grassland, or directly to Shangdu from Shanxi, and some from the grassland to Shanxi, and then to the Central Plains of Shaanxi and other places.

The Semu merchants in the northern part of the grassland also like to bring Western wine to Shanxi to sell, so the local people are good at wine.

The common people are not only well-informed and broad-minded, but also relatively wealthy and open-minded.

During the Yuan Dynasty, there was a free-range system here, and they didn't care about it after collecting taxes, so they gradually became bigger.

This also gave rise to many local tyrants and landlords in Shanxi, who occupied the mountains and did not pay taxes or obey the conscription of the Ming Dynasty. Many powerful families here made their fortunes by selling illicit salt, wine, vinegar, etc., and the population grew rapidly.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Shanxi was not too affected by the red scarf, and the household registration of the population was ranked first in the entire Ming Dynasty, which was an important source of immigrants in the Ming Dynasty.

Now, in order to speed up the pace of immigrants in Shanxi, the Ming Dynasty has relaxed restrictions on their trade routes.

For example, if you have gold and silver fields, you can directly convert the gold and silver fields, and when you go to Shaanxi, Gansu, or Sichuan and other places, you can convert them at the local Daming Royal Bank, and you will be given double compensation.

It also exempts Shanxi people from commercial tax for many years.

When the immigrants arrived at the place of residence, they were all allocated land and residence, and they were also given a settling-in allowance, and those who only had one or two acres of land in Shanxi went to Sichuan, Shu, Shaanxi, and Gansu, and doubled the land, and if the local fertile land was not enough, it was distributed from the official land.

Even so, there are still relatively few people in Shanxi who are willing to emigrate, and if they can't live anymore, who wants to leave their homeland.

Zhu Biao, the prince of the Ming Dynasty, visited Shanxi in person to inspect the immigration work.

At this moment, the crown prince Zhu Biao, the king of Jin Zhu Li, and the emperor's eldest grandson Zhu Biao were all wearing civilian clothes, standing on a dragon not far from the big locust tree, looking at the bustling immigrant people.

Zhu Xiongying sighed: "Dad, do you say that after dozens or hundreds of years, these Shanxi immigrants still remember where their hometown is?" ”

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly.

"Heaven and earth, the reverse journey of all things, the time of time, the passerby of a hundred generations, and the floating life is like a dream......"

Zhu Biao recited a poem, which also lamented the changes in the world.

Zhu Li, the king of Jin next to him, said with a smile: "Why does the eldest brother feel so much? ”

Zhu Xiongying spoke on behalf of his father: "Third uncle, is it right or wrong for you to say that our family will make these people leave their hometowns and stay away from their homeland?" ”

Jin King Zhu Li was stunned.

He opened his mouth, but didn't say why.

Zhu Xiongying said bitterly: "Some people have done evil things all their lives, as long as they do a good deed, they can become a Buddha immediately." ”

"And if someone has done a good deed in his life, as long as he does an evil deed, he will fall into prison forever."

"Now look at our immigration to Shanxi, filling in Shaanxi, Gansu and Sichuan is a bad thing, but a hundred years later, two hundred years later, I am looking at it, it is a good thing for me to immigrate to Shanxi......"

Zhu Xiongying pointed to the red five-clawed dragon flag fluttering on the flagpole behind the officials who were queuing up to receive resettlement fees.

"In the future, they will see the red flag fluttering, and the big locust will be majestic, just like they have arrived at their hometown......"

When Zhu Biao heard this, Kuanrun had a strange expression on his face.

"It's just that if life is a white horse, some people will never see each other again......"

Saying that, Zhu Biao turned around and ordered: "Prepare the frame and go to Xi'an immediately." ”

Zhu Li, the king of Jin, was shocked and hurriedly asked, "Big brother, do you leave without a meal?" ”

……

Farewell to King Zhu Li of Jin.

Zhu Biao, Zhu Xiongying and others, traveling to Shaanxi under the starry night.

After the Yuan Dynasty obtained the Central Plains, Shanxi became the hinterland of the Great Yuan Empire because it was no longer a border pass, so there were many common people and prosperous people, but at the same time, it also led to the rich here and the poor had no place to stand.

In order not to disturb the officials along the way, Zhu Biao ordered the accompanying carriage to stop the flag, not to disturb the people, and to travel at night in brocade clothes.

On this day, the night was already dark, and Jiang Xuan, who was responsible for guarding Zhu Biao, came to report: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I arrived at a post station in front, and the minister inquired and learned that there was no one in the surrounding fifty miles, did you settle down at the post station?" ”

Zhu Biao turned around and saw that Zhu Xiongying was also very tired, so he nodded.

Jiang Zhen immediately went to make arrangements, and quickly settled the carriage and horses.

This time, Zhu Biao came to inspect various places at the border gates, accompanied by only more than 2,000 people, and there were also a large number of chariots, horses, and materials to be transported to the place where he was about to go by water or land.

At the same time, the Guozijian, Taixue Hanlin, and Shengyuan, who were in charge of the imperial examinations in various places, also set off from Nanjing Taixue and went to Beijing, Xi'an, and Chengdu.

This post station is the Yuan Shi post station, there are often business travelers, and gradually form a small bar, inhabited by dozens of households, hundreds of people.

More than 2,000 people brought it, and it was also very lively.

Everyone set up camp in the stable behind the post station, boiled water and started the pot, and fetched water to wash Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying.

Because of the tiring journey, Zhu Biao and Zhu Xiongying didn't have much appetite.

Zhu Xiongying saw many local children outside the post station, all dressed in tatters, leaning on wooden horses, carrying them outside the post station to look at where to look, touching the tall horses of the accompanying soldiers, or touching the gorgeous frame bronze ornaments.

Because Zhu Biao said it first, the brocade guards did not drive the children, but also took out the candy they were carrying and distributed them to these children, so as to get close to them.

Zhu Biao felt a lot and said, "Xiongying, you change into civilian clothes and go to this village with your father." ”
