217, freshman

April.

"This is it, Brother Niu."

The caravan traveled eastward, and it took half a month to reach the edge of a large river.

At this moment, on the big river, several merchant ships are docking there.

The Yellow River runs through the east and west, with countless tributaries, and this river is the big river that flows to Bohai County.

If it weren't for the fact that the water was also checked, the Black Bull family would have been able to leave by boat early, instead of having to wait for a merchant ship like now.

Of course, the purpose of the merchant ships was not to wait for the Black Bull family, they received a letter from Liaodi, and they were exploring a safe waterway.

"Cow, where are you taking us?"

Compared with Father Niu's early preparation, the second uncle of Hei Niu was very uneasy.

It's been more than half a month, why are you still walking, it's a car, it's a boat, which makes the second uncle of Heiniu, who has never been out of Sanshi Village in his life, very uncomfortable.

The black bull smiled softly, did not answer first, but beckoned everyone to get on the boat.

After the ship began to move, he said to his second uncle.

"Second uncle, I'm going to take you to a place where you can eat enough just by farming, don't worry, second uncle, my nephew won't harm you."

"You can eat enough when you farm, so how many fields do you have to plant, black cow, the second uncle is old, but he can't do too much work."

"Don't worry, second uncle, you won't be too tired."

The black bull smelled the wind blowing when the ship sailed, and his face was relaxed.

The impact of looking at outsiders is far worse than looking at his own family, and what his family has suffered made him extremely angry for a while, but now, on the merchant ship, his heart has finally let go.

The speed of the water route is several times faster than that of the land route.

The merchant ships traveled all the way to the northeast, passing through several checkpoints, and finally the fish entered the sea, and the world roamed.

In the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, merchant ships sailed with full sails and sailed at a faster speed than in the rivers.

Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, and Youbeiping, there are many places to pass, but the goal of the merchant ship is clear, all the way to the east.

Passing through the west of Liaoning, entering the east of Liao, entering from the mouth of Liaohe Bay, and going upstream.

As we went deeper into Liaodong, the climate became damp and cold little by little, and occasionally the ice floes swam down, which was simply knocked open by the sailors who had been prepared for a long time.

"It's so cold over here."

After staying in the cabin for a long time, the family members of the black bull came out to let off steam.

Fur coats were wrapped, but the people who were used to the inland climate were still a little unbearable.

"Hahaha, I'll get used to it after staying for a long time, it's cold here in March and April, and in May, it's not so cold, it's no different from Dongjun."

The closer it is to its own territory, the more high-spirited the black bull becomes.

This time he made up his mind to take his family away, which he thought was the right thing to do in his life.

"Grandpa and Auntie, what a big ship, look!"

The son of the big brother of the black bull pointed to the river, and saw hundreds of three-masted sailing ships heading towards the mouth of the sea in an orderly manner.

On the head boat, a young man dressed in a big hat also looked this way.

"Hu Qi's main book?"

The Black Bull was stunned for a moment, and he recognized the man on the head ship, and then there were hundreds of people on each of the three-masted galleons.

The sailing ships behind are mostly horses, cattle and sheep.

"Where is this going?"

A question mark appeared in the black bull's mind.

It's people, and it's cattle, sheep, and horses, and it's by boat.

The black bull couldn't guess, and the dog kept cheering the big ship.

Indeed, compared to merchant ships, the three-masted galleon is twice as large and much taller, giving people the feeling that a father is looking at his son.

The two fleets passed by.

Soon, the river was empty again.

In a short time, the merchant ship also sailed to Wuhuan Wharf.

Stepping on the flat ground, these days in the field to eat the family's heart can be regarded as completely put down.

"Cow, we're here."

After getting off the boat, the mother of the black cow kept holding the hand of the black cow, and the little old lady who was in the house all day long had never seen such a scene.

The wide road is straight, and the greenery planted on both sides is dry but straight, and the vehicles carrying supplies are constantly passing by, giving people the impression that they can't understand it, but they feel very powerful.

"When we get to A-Niang, let's go back to the city first, my son has a small yard in the city, although it is not big, but it is enough for us to live temporarily, wait for us to rest for half a day, and my son will take you to register in the afternoon."

"Eh, it's all up to you."

Everyone has no opinion on the arrangement of the black bull, and only the black bull is a relative, so he has become the backbone of everyone.

After renting two carriages, the black bull asked the coachmen to set off towards Wuhuan City, and with the car, they quickly arrived at Wuhuan City.

beckoned everyone to get out of the car, his father and mother, eldest brother and sister-in-law, nephew, second uncle and second aunt, cousin and sister-in-law, and the daughter-in-law and son of the cousin who was dragged to the army without knowing life and death.

"Excuse me, it's the car money."

Familiar with the two money, the black bull pulled his grandfather and aunt and beckoned everyone into Wuhuan City.

The militia guarding the city only checked the black bull's token and let him go, and the people behind him probably knew what was going on.

"Son, don't you have to pay for entering the city? I've heard people in the village who have been to the city say that they have to pay money when they enter the city. ”

Hei Niu's second uncle asked cautiously.

When had these peasants and peasant women who had never been out of Sanshi Village in their lives seen such a huge and tidy city, they were all very restrained after they walked in, for fear that they had gone wrong.

"No, second uncle, we don't have any harsh taxes here, only commercial taxes, field taxes, and poll taxes, so I want to bring you here."

The black bull was beaming, and when he returned to Wuhuan, it was like he had really returned home, and the home in the Han Dynasty was really like hell.

From the intelligence I have gathered, I have seen that the Han Dynasty has displaced people every year, every year!

At first, he didn't feel anything wrong, until he was sent to Dongjun this time, and when he returned home after a short period of time, he clearly noticed the difference between the Jun Shang and the Han Dynasty.

"There really are no other taxes?"

A group of people couldn't believe their ears at all.

The black bull nodded seriously: "Really, and there is also the support of farm tools and livestock in the wasteland here, and the wasteland that is opened up does not have to pay taxes for the first two years, and the amount of grain grown is up to you, and the field tax is halved in the next two years, and even after that, the field tax is only one of ten taxes." ”

"And it's not just farming, Wuhuan Xianbei is full of people to work, if you don't want to farm, you can save hundreds of dollars just by working a year, enough for a family to have food and clothing without worry."

While walking, Hei Niu introduced the bits and pieces of Wuhuan City, he had seen this city rise with his own eyes, and he had a deep affection for this place.

"I, I'll still farm, and nothing else will either."

The second uncle of Hei Niu has been a farmer for a lifetime, and he can only farm.
