The dragon salary stayed in the new city.

There is a copper mine in the new city, and Yu Feng asked him to come here and open a branch of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, which was originally to let him be in charge of the development and management of this copper mine, but the copper mine in front of him is obviously not as important as the matter of stockpiling seeds and farm tools and food in preparation for the new immigrants, and even if the copper mine is developed immediately, it also requires a large number of manpower, smelters, etc., this is not something that can be done with a casual thought of the brain.

Long salary is a standard businessman, in the new city, obviously even Yun Qingshan, a thousand households who have made a cameo appearance as a sea merchant, is not as good as he has done in this business, the so-called art industry has a specialization, and this means that one is professional, the other is amateur, and the two are not on the same level at all. These things, he Long's salary is done in the name of the Four Seas Commercial Bank, which is more convenient than Yun Qingshan to do it directly, and it is not realistic.

Yun Qingshan was also happy to be freed from these trivial matters, and handed over all the matters related to this aspect to him, anyway, this was a cronie brought by the adult, he naturally had nothing to worry about, and he couldn't be worried, who knew if this was the person sent by the adult to monitor him on the bright side, he couldn't do it at all in these matters, and the dragon's salary was different. Therefore, he cooperated as much as he wanted, not only patting his chest to vouch for Yu Feng in many things, but also pulling Velasco out from time to time, and letting the dragon pay pull the tiger skin to make a big banner, for a while, as if this four-sea firm was the official firm of Xincheng.

In November, the thieves gathered in Shaanxi, and the Son of Heaven issued an edict to send Henan soldiers into Tong and Hua, Huguang soldiers into Shang and Luo, Sichuan soldiers from Xing and Han, and Shanxi troops out of Puzhou and Hancheng to join forces to conquer the thieves Li Zicheng and others. It was at this time that the first group of immigrants from Shandong arrived in Xincheng by boat.

Two sea boats carried a total of more than 200 families of immigrants, almost 800 people, of which 70% were young and strong men and women. It can be seen that for these immigrants who came to the new city, the officials in charge of recruiting the displaced people have been selected, and among these people, the old and infirm are not accounted for by ten percent, most of them are young and middle-aged, even if they are from a single household, most of them are men and women in the prime of life with children and young children.

In fact, there are no old people, although Yu Feng's subordinates are unwilling to find these can only consume food but can not make much profit, but the more realistic truth is that with the catastrophe, those old people bear the brunt, and the young people can find a bite to eat for them, and they also try to save it for their children, and go to find those roots and turf Guanyin soil, and when these are not found, their children can no longer find anything for them. Being a parent is all about this heart, which can be regarded as a cruel survival of the fittest! There are not many elderly people who can survive the disaster and still hold on to the present.

These people became the first batch of Chinese immigrants to officially move in the new city, yes, the first batch, the Shenji Battalion and the Teaching and Training Camp are not counted, at best they can only be regarded as occupation troops, and these people are genuine civilians.

Most of the people who can go to sea with the sea ships have a gambler's nature, since they can't live in their own country, there are people who can guide them in a direction now, as long as they listen to them, they can live, continue the bloodline, and even, they can have their own land, such a thing, why not gamble. Left and right is just a rotten life, staying in the countryside is a dead end, going overseas will go overseas, are you still afraid that those people will not be able to deceive themselves, even if they deceive themselves, it is just a place of death, where the loess does not bury people!

From the moment they boarded the sea ship in Dengzhou, these people began to have a faint expectation in their hearts, even if they deceived themselves, there was no need to invest such a large capital. Such a big sea ship, if you do business, how much money can you make on a trip, but now the boat is full of refugees like yourself, although these days, each person can only receive a nest head and a bowl of porridge, but there is always a stutter, and you can't die of hunger.

When they arrived at the seaport of Xincheng, they got off the boat, and they were directly escorted by the officers and soldiers of Xincheng to Xincheng, and these people were already down-to-earth in their hearts. There are so many fields along the way, but no one cultivates them, although the land is a little raw, but, a little tending, it is an acre of fertile land, it can be seen that there are really a lot of fields here for them to cultivate.

Moreover, the soldiers who got off the boat and escorted them to this walled city were not fierce and vicious, they behaved very kindly, and the words they spoke were not those barbarian bird language, but a Shandong accent, some bold immigrants, and talked a few words with the soldiers, and found that these soldiers were actually local villagers in Shandong, and when it came to their hometown, they were really not far from the hometown of this soldier.

The news spread quickly among the immigrants, and it didn't take long for several respected old people who were spontaneously elected by the immigrants to know, although these old people can be regarded as well-informed, but the things in front of them are indeed too strange, and there is no reason to sit on a boat for more than ten days, and they are still in the realm of Shandong, which is very abnormal.

They didn't say anything in their hearts, they just told everyone to settle down and not cause any trouble, and they went to ask these officials what was going on. Even if they want to die, they have to be a ghost or not.

Yun Qingshan was very kind and met with these "representatives of the masses" in his official residence. It's said to be an official residence, but it's just a relatively large house, but compared to some low and narrow houses all over the city, it can be regarded as very magnificent.

Several old men were brought in, knelt down in fear, and kowtowed to Yun Qingshan, who was sitting on it. Yun Qingshan Lama accepted the etiquette of these people, although the adults said to treat these people well, but the respect and humility still have to be divided, and when these old people finished kowtowing, he smiled and lightly these old people got up, and sent a chair, and invited them to sit down and talk.

"This lord...", an old man who seemed to be the leader, said tremblingly: "The old man is entrusted by the villagers, and I want to ask my lord, where is this place, how far is it from Daming, and how does my lord plan to settle me?" ”

"This place is called Xincheng, and you will be the people of my Xincheng from now on!" Yun Qingshan said with a smile, but with a kind look, and then said: "As for how far away from Daming, it's hard to say, it's not far away, it's not close to it, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's close to the end of the world!" ”

The words were vague, the old man did not dare to continue to ask, and besides, he did not come for this matter, it was their concern to find out the identities of these generals and how to settle them.

"Listen to the accent of the adult, and we are also from Shandong?" The old man asked tentatively, but there was a hint of Dengzhou accent in his words.

"Yes, this official is from Laizhou, and it is Shandong Erlang!" Yun Qingshan looked forward to it, and his face was proud.

"Your lord's military horse is also our Shandong son?" The old man continued.

This time, Yun Qingshan really didn't answer, just nodded with a smile!

The old man was shocked, "Could it be that this is my Shandong soldiers and horses?" ”

"Don't panic old people!" Yun Qingshan comforted: "This official and his subordinates are indeed Shandong soldiers and horses, and they are subordinates of General Yu who are guarding Dengzhou, can the old man rest assured now?" ”

When Yun Qingshan saw the old man's appearance, he knew that most of the old man was thinking too badly, and he regarded these people as characters such as the Xiangma Pirates, and even the anti-thieves said that they were not necessarily, so they had to directly reveal their identities.

Sure enough, as soon as Yun Qingshan's words came out, several old people breathed a sigh of relief, in their hearts, survival is naturally a first-class matter, if they are thieves in order to survive, they will die without a face to see their ancestors.

This is not these old people old-fashioned, at this time, there are certainly those who raise the flag to rebel, but there are no longer a few who insist on the Ming Dynasty, the prince of heaven and earth, this is all to be respected, the king is in front of the pro, it can be seen that the idea of this loyal monarch has actually been integrated into the moral concept of these ordinary people.

It is naturally normal for these old people to have this idea, and even Yun Qingshan feels that he can understand the other party's move.

However, in order to further strengthen the confidence of the old people, Yun Qingshan took out his own seal and told him to show these visitors. This time, several old men no longer hesitated, looked at each other, and knelt down again to push the golden mountain and the jade pillar, kowtowing to Yun Qingshan.

However, this kowtow, and when they came in, the kind of anxiety and even fear and kowtow, there is indeed a clear difference in nature, if you just came in and kowtowed, it was because of the confusion and fear of the future life of your own group of people, and this time it is a manifestation of being convinced and willing these people to become the people of this general's subordinates.

Since they are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, of course they have to be governed by the officials of the Ming Dynasty, which is a matter of course, so what is there to hesitate about? Such officials who can give them a way to live are much more amiable than those corrupt officials in their hometowns.

Yun Qingshan was impressed by them, and he was also very happy in his heart, as long as these old people led by them were okay, those other people naturally had these old people to convince them, in this way, when he managed these people in the future, it would naturally be much easier and more convenient, of course, if nothing else, these old men would definitely be one of the stewards of the newly established farm.

"Regarding your placement, I have a charter here, I will say it, and please refer to the old people, if there is anything wrong, please point it out!" Yun Qingshan saw that he was in control of the situation, and spoke in an orderly manner at the moment.

"On the way here, you must have seen a lot of places, and you can use them as fertile land with a little renovation! What our adults mean is that according to the share of ten acres per household, these fields are rented for everyone to cultivate, of course, seventy percent of the harvest of this field must be returned to the public, everyone has no opinion on this, right? ”

"Of course there is no opinion!" An old man said timidly: "It's just my lord, we don't have anything to do right now......

What he means is that at the moment we don't even have to eat, this cultivation and sowing, that is the matter of the beginning of spring next year, when there is a harvest, and the end of summer at the earliest, these people are not immortals and bodhisattvas who do not eat the fireworks of the world, and they will not be hungry at that time.

"Don't worry about this for the time being, it won't be possible to transport you all the way and starve you to death!" Yun Qingshan waved his hand very domineeringly: "Until the harvest, these foods naturally don't have to worry, although they may not be able to eat, but after all, people will not die of hunger, and besides, we have to build Zhuangzi, build ports, and build city walls, as long as we have the strength to work, are we afraid that we will not be able to earn food!" ”
