Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1773, the scenery along the way
Here in Kaifeng City, Li Da, Tian Sanwa, Bao Laoer, Ding Laosi and others followed the team and looked curiously at the bustling and bustling city in front of them.

There are a lot of people here, and the roads extend in all directions, and the roads are full of busy carriages, cars, rickshaws, bicycles and so on.

People's clothes are also very beautiful, all of them look good, especially some women's dresses are beautiful, so that the eyes of these mountain people who come out of the mountain are straight.

Looking at the buildings in the city, they are very tall, just like looking up at the mountains at the foot of the mountains; the shops on both sides of the streets are full of beautiful things, and the goods inside are dazzling to the eyes.

Pedestrians on the street, some people have cut off their long hair and beard, with short hair, wearing tight clothes and pants, they look much better.

At the same time, the attentive Li Da soon discovered that there are many women on the street, they seem to be different from the Ming people, who have black eyes and black hair.

As for these women, they are all blond, blue-eyed, with high noses and deep eyes, and white skin, and they are very different.

After asking someone, I found out that these people were not Daming people, but slaves trafficked from Europe, West Asia, the Middle East and other regions.

If outsiders can't marry a wife, they can also spend some money to buy some female slaves to come to their wives, concubines, etc., to spread their branches and leaves.

At the same time, on the street, everyone can see many mixed-race children, the proportion is not low, playing and playing with the children of Daming one by one, and speaking fluent Daming dialect.

Everything in front of them had a huge impact on the mountain people like Li Da.

In their world, they have always been accompanied by mountains, sparsely populated, very few people, and they are similar to each other, very poor.

But the world I see now is so bustling and lively. The people here live an incomparably rich life. People dress nicely and eat delicious food.

Along the way, even though the meals arranged by the officials were mediocre, they were still much better than those at their homes. The key was that no matter where they went, they could eat whatever they wanted.

It turns out that roads can be straight, straight, and extremely flat. It turns out that land can be very flat.

All of this is so new to Li Da and the other mountain people, forming a huge impact and constantly impacting their worldview.

However, this is just the beginning.

When they boarded the train, sat on the train, listened to the whine of the siren, and watched the scenery outside the window receding, they were shocked again.

It was the first time I took a train, and it was also the first time I felt that going out for a long distance didn't seem to be too tiring, as long as I sat down.

Unlike their mountains, where there are endless mountain roads, winding, uphill and downhill, so that everyone has a pair of strong thighs.

"This train is really amazing. If we just sit like this, it will go by itself."

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Tian Sanwa couldn't help admiring.

"Isn't it? I never dreamed that I could take such a train when I go out. We can walk thousands of miles in a day just sitting like this, and it can also walk at night without stopping."

Ding Laosi also sighed.

"Look at the field outside, how big, flat, and open it is."

"The fields in our mountains are very small, and I don't know if the fields allocated to us in the future will be such flat land."

Looking at the field outside, Bao Erer already began to think about his future life.

When they came out, everyone was still full of anxiety and fear of the unknown life, but when they really went outside, they saw the bustling world outside, and now they began to look forward to the life in the future.

The train carried a carload of immigrants non-stop towards Nanyun Province. Along the way, Li Da and the others saw the openness of the plain, the holiness of the snow-capped mountains in the Western Regions, and the vastness of the grassland.

After a few days, the train taken by Li Da and others finally arrived at Xiji Port in Nanyun Province. Here, Li Da and the others met more immigrants who went to Heitu Province together.

There are also a large number of local people from Nanyun Province. These people are completely different from Daming people in appearance, but they can basically speak Daming dialect fluently.

Here at West Pole Port, many immigrants from all over the Ming Dynasty gathered together, waiting to board the ship to Black Earth Province.

"Everyone, everyone~"

"Students from Xiji Middle School in Nanyun Province hold public welfare activities here. If you want to write a letter home, you can ask them to write it for you, and then mail it back to your hometown."

While waiting to board the ship, thousands of students came to the port. Everyone brought pens and letter paper. At the same time, there were also special postmen who came here and shouted at the many immigrants who were going to Black Earth Province with their tin horns. up.

Hearing the postman's words, many immigrants immediately became agitated. Along the way, they were getting farther and farther away from their hometown and relatives. Now they finally had the opportunity to write letters back, which made them very excited.

The same is true for Li Da. When he came to a student, Li Da himself was illiterate and could not write. This was his first time writing a letter, and he didn't know what to write.

Fortunately, the students here are nice, and they explained it to Li Da, so under the guidance of this middle school student, a special letter was also written.

"Mom and Dad, my daughter-in-law and I are fine. We have food and shelter along the way. We have never been hungry. The outside is really big. There are many places where the land is very, very flat, open, and there are cities. There are many, many people inside, and there are all kinds of things, such as a car with four wheels costing several thousand taels of silver."

"I just took the train to this place called Nanyun Province, and I'm about to take a boat to Heitu Province. In a few days, I can arrive at the place where we immigrated."

"I heard people say along the way that the place where we immigrated is very good. The land is very flat and open, and there is no need to take winding mountain roads. The land there is also black soil, which is said to be very fertile."

"In addition, people grow sweet potatoes and corn outside here. At home, you can buy some in the town and try planting them. I heard that the yield is very high, so that you can eat well without being hungry, and you don't have to pick the land. Dry land can also be planted."

"You two elders should take care of your health and don't be too tired. If the younger brothers really can't live in the mountains in the future, they can also come outside."

"Outside, if you can't get a wife, you can still spend money to buy European women as wives. I saw a lot when I was in Kaifeng."

"I'll write to you after I've settled down in Heitu Province, and I'll tell you my specific address when the time comes, so that you can write to me, Da Li!"

The content of the letter was very simple. Li Da roughly talked about the outside world, but there were many things he wanted to say but he couldn't express.

After writing the letter, take the letter to the postman, ask for fifty cents, stamp it with a stamp, and the postman will send the letter to the Lin Family Salt Shop in Fengxian Township. able to receive.

A letter slightly eased the feeling of homesickness and homesickness.

Soon, many immigrants boarded the boats heading for Black Earth Province, and after a few days of ups and downs, they finally arrived in Black Earth Province.

After arriving in Kaffa City, the Immigration Bureau of Black Earth Province registered all the immigrants in detail, and at the same time, the same random distribution was carried out here.

Mix the immigrants of Han people and other tribes, the most of them are immigrants from Nanyun Province. Nanyun Province is also one of the key immigration places of Ming Dynasty. Millions of Caucasians and Georgians responded to the call of the imperial court and chose to immigrate Go to Black Earth Province.

After the distribution, Li Da and Tian Sanwa were assigned to a place called Shangyun Town, which is a small town next to the middle and lower reaches of the Nie River (the original Dnieper River was renamed).

Hundreds of miles around this small town are deserted, without any people, and the small towns are far apart from each other.

The immigration model here is also the same as that of the River Central Province. A small town of [-] people is built, and it is built in a place with superior natural conditions, and all the immigrants are resettled.

Everyone lives together, so that if there is anything, they can help and assist each other better, and it is also convenient for the court to manage and support these immigrants.

After distributing the town, Li Da and Tian Sanwa's family got their own horses here in Kafa City, one horse for each person, and everyone Li got two horses. horse.

Next, when going to Shangyun Town, you don’t need to walk anymore. You can ride a horse and follow the team to Shangyun Town, saving you from the hard work of walking.

After several days of riding on horseback, Li Dahe Tian Sanwa and many other immigrants finally arrived in Shangyun Town, where they were assigned their own houses in the first time.

All the houses are built in a unified manner, all of which are made of wood, and are equipped with the utensils needed for life and work.

Of course, for immigrants, what they care most about is naturally their own land.

Wait until the officials of the Shangyun Township Immigration Office tell them that in addition to the land allocated to them, the vast land outside Shangyun Town can be cultivated. As much land as you want, you can work hard to cultivate as much land as you want. As long as it is reclaimed, it belongs to you of.

Looking at the endless wilderness outside, Li Da and Tian Sanwa also fell into a frenzy. There is really too much land here.
