Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1771, the outside world has changed a lot

"Europe?"

"Black Earth Province?"

"Immigration can obtain 200 acres of land?"

"A settling fee of 20 taels of silver?"

"And the cattle, horses and sheep?"

When the surrounding villagers heard it, they immediately exploded.

For the mountain people, the land is the most precious thing. There are very few fields here, and the terraced fields are very difficult to cultivate, and they are all very barren and the area is very limited.

As for money, for the mountain people, it is very little. Although there is food to eat, there is definitely no money.

As long as you go to work outside, you can earn a few taels of silver a month, but the mountain people in this mountain may not be able to accumulate a tael of silver throughout the year.

Not to mention cattle and horses. Cattle are extremely precious wealth, and they are absolutely indispensable for cultivated land. They are also the most precious thing for mountain people. However, the number of cattle owned by mountain people is very small. With five oxen, one of which is still a calf, there is no way to plow the field at all.

"real or fake?"

Li Da looked at the official servant in front of him with disbelief all over his face.

"Of course this is true. The imperial court's immigration policy has been upheld for many years, and tens of millions of people have immigrated overseas and outside the customs."

"Liaodong, Western Regions, Hezhong, Central Asia, Nanyang and other provinces have millions of people immigrating to these places. Now the immigrants in these places have lived a very prosperous life."

Ge Ming nodded solemnly and replied.

"Who knows if it's true, the government has always oppressed us people, and we have to pay taxes and serve corvee. No matter how good the outside world is, where is our place? It's isolated from the world, like a paradise, and we are at ease."

Some people think about it and feel that it is not credible at all.

"Yes, yes, we still live here comfortably and comfortably. Who knows what the outside world is like. Back then, our ancestors also chose to enter the mountains to avoid wars. Generations of ancestors have worked hard. , it was hard to take root and sprout in this mountain forest, and now it is said to emigrate."

"And this Europe, the devil knows where it is, and I don't know how far it will take."

"That's right, that's right, we're not going anywhere, just stay here and live our own lives."

The villagers did not believe what Ge Ming and Tao Ping said.

"Everyone, everyone, I definitely didn't lie to you about this. The imperial court's immigration policy has been implemented for more than ten years, and tens of millions of people have emigrated. If I lie to people, how can I persist until now."

"And what the imperial court promised, I haven't heard of any discounts until now, and all of them have been implemented."

"As for the long distance and hard work that everyone is worried about, you don't have to worry about it at all."

"Now there is a train that can go directly to Nanyun Province. It is very easy to take the train. In addition to the train, there are a large number of four-wheeled carriages and wagons. You don't even need to walk much. The imperial court will take everything It's all arranged."

"In addition, when you go to the place where you immigrated, the government will build a house for you, and will guide you to grow food, raise livestock, arrange production according to the local situation, and give you enough food to eat. to the next year's grain harvest."

Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, Ge Ming once again publicized it to everyone.

"Officer~"

"Really everyone can get 200 mu of land?"

Li Da looked at Ge Ming, looked at Ge Ming and asked.

As the eldest in the family, Li Da just got married, but the family is also facing an extremely embarrassing situation, that is, there is not much land in the family to distribute to Li Da.

The land itself is small, and Li Da's father has several brothers. If everyone is divided, the land will be even less. Although Li Da's father is very diligent, relying on his own efforts, he has cultivated a lot of land in decades. Quite a few terraces.

But in such a mountainous area, no matter how hard we try, the land cultivated is extremely limited, and there is simply not enough land for Li Da and his brothers to share.

Now we are married, we have separated from our father, and we only have two farms. Even though we don’t need to pay rent or tax, the harvest of the farms is still very low, which is not enough to support our family. What’s more, Now that my wife has a baby in her belly, there will be more people, and even eating will become a problem.

So Li Da was very moved when he heard that one person could be allocated 200 mu of land. If his family had a few hundred mu of land, as long as he worked hard, at least he would not be hungry.

"Of course it is true. This time, the preferential policy for immigrants to Heitu Province is the highest preferential policy. One person will be rewarded with 200 mu of land, which will definitely not be discounted at all. Besides, where the land is sparsely populated, as long as you have the ability, you can cultivate it. If you give out a thousand acres, ten thousand acres of land will belong to you."

"On this point, the court has always never lied."

Ge Ming nodded solemnly and replied.

"Then do you want to pay food and taxes?"

After hearing this, Li Da was very moved, and it would be difficult for him to stay in the mountain if he wanted to eat enough.

"The first five years are exempt from taxation. After five years, you can pay one-tenth of the grain. And now that the imperial court has exempted all corvee, everyone no longer needs to do corvee."

Ge Ming continued.

"You don't have to do corvée now?"

When everyone heard this, they immediately felt very surprised. All along, they thought that there must be no big changes outside. Who would have thought that they would not even have to take corvee now, and if the food tax was only one-tenth of it, it would be very difficult by then. Low, very low.

"Who will believe the words of the government?"

"Anyway, I'm not going anywhere, and I'm going to die here in the mountains."

"Where there are us in the mountains outside, if there were, our ancestors would not have migrated from the outside to the mountains."

"Yes, yes~"

"We have no disputes with the world here, like a paradise, and live a happy life. If we go outside, the officials will oppress us, and we have to pay taxes. It will be really sad."

"Don't go, don't go, don't care what happens outside, just don't go out anyway."

However, no matter how nice what Ge Ming said, the mountain people in front of them still shook their heads. They didn't want to leave here, and they still thought it was good.

"Everyone listen to me, everyone listen to me~"

"The changes in Daming are very big now. Our Daming is at the peak of national strength, the people are prosperous, and the people are rich. It is no longer the previous Daming. Not to mention, just this grain, now we have many grain-producing areas in Daming , the food produced can’t be eaten even in ten years.”

"And now Daming is developing extremely rapidly. There are many trains, roads, cars, trucks, bicycles, etc., as well as factories and workshops. As long as you go to work, you can easily earn a few taels of silver a month. support the family."

"Although this mountain is also very good, but the traffic here is really difficult, the news is also very blocked, and there is very little land here, it's better if there are fewer people. Everyone has more and more children. What will we rely on in the future?" Feeding more and more people?"

"The imperial court is willing to pay to immigrate everyone to a place with better conditions. There are wide plains and endless black land. The land is very fertile, and the harvest will be very high if you plant anything."

Tao Ping looked at the mountain people in front of him. The news here was too closed. He didn't know that the earth-shaking changes had taken place outside. He thought it was the same as before.

"No, no, I won't go out anyway~"

"Yeah, yeah, I'm not going either, and I won't move out despite all the hype you say."

"We are all used to life in the mountains, let us go out, we must not be used to it."

"Golden nests and silver nests are not as good as the dog kennels at home, and no matter how nice the outside is, they are not as good as our mountains."

However, the mountain people still didn't listen, and shook their heads one after another, each of them was unwilling to leave here, to leave the mountain.

"I'm going, I'm going!"

Li Da kept thinking about the situation at home in his mind. There are too few fields, and there are several younger brothers below him. Now he can still get some fields and a house. When his younger brother grows up, he will not even be able to live there. Maybe there is no place to live, and it is difficult to find a wife.

When the mountain people marry their daughters, they have to choose and choose. The family has a lot of land, few brothers, and has a house. Naturally, the best choice is the best choice. The brothers have many brothers, and they have nothing but advantages in fighting.

"Li Da, you want to emigrate outside?"

When the mountain people saw it, they immediately looked over in unison.

"I can't help it. Everyone knows the situation of my family. If I don't go out here, I might starve to death. I won't even have enough to eat, not to mention how many younger brothers I have."

Li Da said helplessly that it is unknown to move out, but if he continues to stay here, I am afraid that he will not have a good life. To be honest, he is already tired of this place, and he is also eager to see the colorful world outside. Opportunity, simply emigrate out.

"Okay, this is the guide issued by the government. You take this and come to the county government to report and gather in half a month. At that time, the county government will organize everyone to emigrate together."

When Ge Ming heard this, he immediately smiled happily. He quickly took out a road guide from his backpack, asked Li Da's name, family size and members in detail, and then filled it in. This is issued by the government. Proof, because these mountain people do not have ID cards now, this is equivalent to an ID card.

"Hmm~"

Under the watchful eyes of many villagers, Li Da took the guide, a piece of light paper, but now it feels as heavy as a thousand catties, and he regretted it at this moment.

PS: I went to the mountain once during the Chinese New Year. It was really shocking. I settled down halfway up the mountain. The roads are like walking on the cliffs. People who drive have soft feet, but there are still people inside. I don't want to move out, I think the mountains are better.
