Chapter 11 Settle down and set sail for a small day
Shuangshui Village is under the jurisdiction of Ying Tianfu and is nearly 100 miles away from Ying Tianfu City.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, there was chaos, and the blood of killing everywhere flowed like a river.
Yingtianfu used to be called Jiqing Road, which has always been a place where soldiers must fight.
So the population loss here is also very serious.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he began to immigrate.
People from Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places with large populations will be moved to Yingtian and Fengyang, which is being built.
Alleviate the pressure on people and land in other places, and promote the development of Yingtian and other places.
Although by this time, the large-scale migration in the vicinity of Yingtian had ended, there were still small-scale immigrants in various places.
Therefore, Mei Yin's arrival did not cause any sensation here in Shuangshui Village......
……
"Here's the vegetable garden, here's your five-acre field."
Accompanied by the head of Shuangshui Village, the officials who came down from above pointed out to Mei Yin the vegetable gardens and fields he had assigned.
And the dilapidated house.
The Hongwu Dynasty immigrated and gave a lot of preferential policies.
For example, immigrants will be given fields, seeds, houses, farm tools, and even cattle.
Of course, there are not so many large objects such as ploughing cattle in the hands of the imperial court.
Only a small number of people can get it.
The rest was replaced by the rest of the livestock, poultry.
For example, in Shuangshui Village, where Mei Yin was divided, every household was divided into pigs.
That's why as soon as he entered the village, he smelled the smell of it.
That's why he's been assigned here.
After explaining these things to Mei Yin, the official left in a hurry.
I didn't want to stay in Shuangshui Village for a moment.
There is no other reason, the taste is too good.
Mei Yin seriously suspected that those people from the pro-military governor's mansion did not come down to arrange these things in person, but only gave the procedures after coming to the county, and let the county officials do the rest of the arrangements, not because they were worried that their identities would be exposed, but because they didn't want to come over and smell the smell.
After the officials left, Zhao Jiachang took Mei Yin and told Mei Yin the location of the well, as well as the place to wash clothes, and said some precautions, and left.
He didn't treat Mei Yin too enthusiastically, nor did he seem rusty, just a businesslike look.
In the eighth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had not yet implemented the Lijia system on a large scale across the country.
But Yingtianfu, as well as important places such as Fengyang, have already been implemented.
Specifically, ten households are one first, and ten are one mile.
Fang Cai's Zhao Jiachang is the Jiachang of Shuangshui Village, and Mei Yin is under his jurisdiction.
Of course, Shuangshui Village has a large population, and there are several Jiachang, and Zhao Jiachang is just one of them.
The officials and the first chief all left, and Mei Yin was quiet here.
In the twilight, he looked at his belongings.
There are three thatched huts in total, and there are no doors and windows, I don't know if it is in disrepair, or it was taken away by the people who came first.
Don't even think about the wall, it seems that there was a wall before, but it has already collapsed, leaving only some traces.
There are some things such as seeds, farm tools, bran for feeding pigs, etc.
In addition to these, there were some rations that belonged to him, some bedding.
Of course, there are also three pigs, one big, two small, and three pigs.
This is all Mei Yin's belongings.
The conditions are really tough.
On the one hand, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to endure hardship, and on the other hand, it was also because Mei Yin came too late.
Good houses and other things have been divided by a large number of first comers.
After looking at her belongings, Mei Yin took advantage of the fact that the sky was not completely dark, and hurried to the house to clean up a little.
First of all, the pig is tied, this is his important belongings.
At this time, it was cold, and except for these three grass houses without doors and windows, Mei Yin had no other place to stay.
So they tied the three pigs to the westernmost room.
As for why it is leashed and not closed, it is because this room is empty, and there is not even anything that can be isolated, and there is no way to close it at all.
In order to avoid waking up the next day and finding that the pig was sleeping with her, Mei Yin had to tie it there.
These are easy to say, but the most difficult to solve is the problem of missing doors and windows.
If it's summer, it's easy to make do.
But it's the New Year, and it's very cold at night.
There are no doors and windows, and the cold air goes straight to the house when you sleep at night, and people can't sleep at all.
Mei Yin was picking and choosing among her belongings, wanting to see if there was anything she could use to make do.
In the end, he had to take out the straw mat that looked a little broken and block the window of the room at the east end where he slept.
As for the window hole and the door in the west, there is really nothing that can be done, so I can only make up for one night and find a way to solve it tomorrow.
After finishing all this, Mei Yin was also hungry and thirsty, but she didn't even have water.
He found a small bucket and carried a rope to the village well to fetch water.
After the water came back, I found a fatal problem, there was no firewood!
Everything is precious in these years, and if you don't have firewood, you can't make a fire.
It seems that the desire to eat a hot meal has also been disappointed.
Mei Yin sighed, took out a hard dry cake from his pocket on one side, took a small bite with great effort, and chewed slowly in his mouth, thinking about how to break the situation quickly.
Not to mention how good it is, at least we need to improve the living environment as quickly as possible to meet the most basic food, drink and Lazar.
But now that he is penniless and unaccompanied, how easy is it to break the situation quickly?
……
"What are you doing? You're a foolish woman, but it's a day?! ”
Zhao Jiachang looked at the two extra bundles of firewood and grass in front of him, as well as a bowl of hot porridge, and glared at the mother-in-law in front of him and reprimanded.
"The little brother of the Mei family just came over, and he has a class with us, and there is nothing, so let's send him something to help him save the emergency, which is also right.
In the future, the villagers will get along for a long time, and with this relationship, it will be convenient for you to manage. ”
Aunt Zhao said as she took out another hot cake and stuffed it into Zhao Jiachang's hand.
"Besides, in the past, when we had a new person move in, didn't you always do this?
This time it's Brother Mei's turn, why has it become different? ”
"It's not that I didn't see it, then Brother Mei is not the material for work at first glance, and he can't bear the hardships of work, and he will soon make a mess of life.
Then I'm sending these things, isn't it a meat bun beating a dog? ”
Zhao Jiachang gave his reason.
"Master, why do I think you're wrong?
That little brother Mei looks handsome, and he has fine skin and tender meat, and he has no strength at first glance.
This kind of person must be from a big family, even if he falls into trouble, he may get up in the future
Not to mention too much, just a little bit up, it is far from being comparable to those of us.
At this time, it is better to have a good relationship than anything else! ”
As he spoke, he urged Zhao Jiachang to go quickly.
Zhao Jiachang had to carry two bundles of firewood, and the other hand held a hot cake, and went to Mei Yin with hot porridge......
……
Mei Yin ate two bites of dry biscuits, then put the rest down and began to feed the pigs.
On the one hand, it is because the pigs are also humming and chirping to express their hunger, and on the other hand, they remember the reward that they can become stronger by feeding the pigs.
I want to see if I can get some rewards by feeding the pigs to break the current dilemma as quickly as possible.
Pour out some bran, make some ingredients, add the warm water from the well, stir vigorously, and soon the pig's rice has been ready.
Mei Yin brought it to the pig's side, and three pigs, one large, two small, and immediately rushed to eat.
Mei Yin watched the pigs eat while keeping an eye on her own system.
Expect rewards to arrive.
As a result, there has been no movement from above.
This made Mei Yin's heart half cold.
I keep wondering if I have been deceived by the system.
It wasn't until the pig had eaten a pot of pig food that the system finally responded.
[Congratulations to the host for completing feeding the pigs, feeding the pigs will become stronger and triggered, and the reward will be ......]
