Ten years ago, the son of his old servant Xu Ping, with his daughter-in-law and children, immigrated to Dayuan despite Xu Huizu's opposition.

Two years ago, Xu Ping's son came back and took Xu Ping away.

Xu Ping's son has already taken root, and he has also become the local village head, whether it is the village chief of the Hong Xi Dynasty or the chief of the security department, they all have the fortune of the imperial court.

In the past, the Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty, and the early Ming Dynasty, they were all just a title, helping the court to do things, but there was no Yulu.

Sure enough, Xu Qin and his father said directly to him after they returned to the courtyard.

"Dad, I want to immigrate to Shazhou."

“。。” Xu Huizu's face was ugly.

After Xu Ping left, he and his wife, as well as Xu Qin's whole family, were at home.

If Xu Qin leaves, he and his wife will be left.

"Xiaolan (his wife) and her father-in-law are leaving." Xu Qin lowered his head and said again.

His wife and his wife's father and mother will also follow them.

"-——" Xu Huizu resisted the urge to scold, and said in a trembling voice: "What are you doing so far?" In case there is something to call back-——"

"Then what else is Beiyuan, Beiyuan died early, and now I don't beat others, who dares to fight?" Xu Qin immediately reacted-for-tat: "The imperial court moves 100,000 households to the west every year, and it won't take a few years, all of them are my Ming people." ”

"I want to go there early, and there will be an official position first."

Xu Qin said directly: "I asked a friend in the Ministry of Officials, there are ten counties under Shazhou. ”

"Ordinary people can't be county orders, but people like me (who have a title from the ninth rank here) can."

"I want to go over and be a prefectural magistrate."

Xu Huizu looked at him silently, father and son looked at each other, and after a while, he asked, "You must go over?" ”

"Yes." Xu Qin lowered his head, not daring to look at him.

Is it really a wife who doesn't want a father? Xu Huizu was angry and funny.

The two were silent for another moment.

"Dad, are you going with us?" Xu Qin finally spoke.

"I'm not going anywhere, I'd rather die in Daming."

"Shazhou is also Daming now." Xu Qin said.

Xu Huizu knew that he couldn't persuade him, and he faintly hoped that Xu Qin would be able to become a bigger official in the future.

"You'll go." Xu Huizu said: "I'll give you a hundred acres." ”

Their family now has more than 100 acres of land, and 100 acres will be given to Xu Qin, and they can receive 10 times or 1,000 acres when they go to Shazhou.

"I don't need so much, I can't grow it." Xu Qin said: "The court's money is enough for me." ”

"Just give me twenty acres."

A few days later, Xu Huizu and his wife supported each other and stood at the gate of the city, watching Xu Qin's family drive the carriage to the west.

waited until Xu Qin's carriage disappeared, Xu Huizu couldn't hold back any longer, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Thinking about the Wei State Mansion in the past, and now there are only two of them left, Xu Huizu feels that he is really a failure.

"Horn, take the prisoner Zhou Xin." With the surprise of the Shangyuan County Order of Tianfu, the murderer Zhou Xin was brought to court.

Zhou Xin is an ordinary person, his family grows more than 20 acres of fields, Shangyuan County is near Beijing, the imperial court built water conservancy during the Hongxi period, opened ditches, promoted waterwheels, local agriculture is quite developed, and he and his wife and son originally lived quite well.

But in March of this year, there was a sudden change in the family.

When Zhou Xin went to the city to sell firewood, his wife was molested by a green skin in the village, and Zhou Xin, who came home, was furious when he heard it, and came to the door to reason, Qingpi and his family beat Zhou Xin with a lot of people, Zhou Xin fought back in shame and anger, and killed one of them by mistake.

Soon the court arrested him, killed him to pay for his life, and beheaded him according to the law.

But the Qingpi family teased the Zhou family first, and then beat people first, and when the lawsuit was finally judged, Zhou Xin was beheaded; There are three people on the opposite side who are in prison, ranging from three to five years.

Both sides are not satisfied.

But today Zhou Xin was taken out of the prison again, and when he arrived in the lobby, he found that there were very few people, except for the county order, there was another official he didn't know.

"Zhou Xin, right?" The official asked.

"It's the grass people." Zhou Xin shrugged his head, weak.

"Are you literate?"

"I don't know." Zhou Xin said.

"This official reads it to you, and you listen carefully."

The official read it all over, which probably meant that the imperial court wanted to immigrate to the west, and in addition to signing up for it, some special prisoners could also apply for opportunities.

These special prisoners mainly refer to those who are not big traitors, forced to do so, or hurt others by mistake, such as Zhou Xin, whose wife was molested and killed in anger.

Zhou Xin originally shrugged his head, but after hearing this, his face changed greatly, and he raised his head incredulously.

"Grass people - grass people can not die?"

"As long as you are willing to take your whole family to immigrate to the west, you can avoid the death penalty."

"But when you just arrive in the west, the rest of the immigrants are exempt from tax for 20 years, and you need to pay 30% of the tax, and after 10 years, you can enjoy tax exemption for 10 years."

Zhou Xin was overjoyed, is there such a good thing? The capital crime is gone, and you still let me emigrate?

"The grass people are willing, the grass people are willing."

The official smiled: "Don't worry, you have to ask the other party." ”

Then he called the other party over.

There are also three people in jail on the other side, and the officials said that if you don't want to go to jail, you can also accept immigration and forgive each other at the same time.

Of course, the two sides immigrated to different places, one to Chijin City and the other to Shazhou.

Of course, the three people on the other side didn't want to go to jail, and they didn't want to forgive Zhou Xin.

The officials persuaded each other bitterly, and finally reached an agreement, and the two sides understood each other, one did not have to be convicted of capital crimes, the other did not have to go to prison, and both families moved to the west.

Before immigration, Zhou Xin's field was handed over to the government, and the government gave him a certificate, and after he arrived in Shazhou City, he could use the certificate to receive 200 acres of land in the local area, and if he couldn't plant it, he could hand it over to the government, and the government would rent it out for him, or he could rent it out by himself.

His house in Shangyuan County was sold to the government at market price, and the government helped him buy a carriage and a horse with the money.

If the money is not enough, he will deduct it from his 200 acres of land.

Of course, if he didn't want to ride in a carriage, he could also walk there.

Of course, Zhou Xin wants carriages and horses, and his family has several people, and the longer he walks over, the greater the consumption.

But his family's house is a simple rural house, and he can't sell it for a few dollars.

Finally, after discussing with the government, it was decided that the government would provide a large carriage and two horses.

After Zhou Xin arrived in Shazhou, he only took 120 acres of land. (It depends on the actual local situation).

Tian is much less than ten times, but Zhou Xin is already very happy to survive, and the key is to get a carriage and a horse.

On the day of the trip, the family drove the carriage to a certain place.

Upon arriving, someone looked at their carriage, there was some space in addition to family and some things.

"Zhou Xin, are you willing to bring twenty hoes over?"

"Huh?" Zhou Xin didn't know why.

"If you are willing to help the imperial court bring twenty hoes to Gansu, after you arrive in Shazhou, you can become a security chief, and the imperial court will have a fortune."

Zhou Xin's face turned red at that time, and he nodded desperately: "Yes, yes." ”

"When you arrive in Gansu, hand it over to the local county government, and your own farm tools will be distributed by the local county government, and every ten households will share one cow for the time being."

The other side told them one by one, and Zhou Xin remembered it firmly.

While they were still talking, they suddenly saw several carriages lined up behind them, one of which had not yet pulled down the curtain.

Zhou Xin turned his head and saw that there was no one in the carriage, but it was full of hoes, sickles and other farm tools.

The imperial court not only emigrated to the west, but also used various means and methods to let immigrants help bring supplies.

When someone emigrated, they brought a cart and two carts of farm tools, and in the past, they were the chief of the big security and even the head of the village.

Whoever brought something for the imperial court passed through the states and counties, and passed first.

Since the tenth year of Hongxi, the people from all over the Ming Dynasty, one cart after another, and groups of people, have gone west and moved to the Western Regions.
