Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1803 It's better to go outside
"Eat more, eat more~"

In Li Da's house, the two brothers Li Da and Li Er got together. It was very lively and people were very happy.

Li Da kept adding vegetables to his younger brother Li Er, and there were plenty of mutton, beef, and fish.

"Brothers and sisters, you should also eat more."

Li Da's daughter-in-law also kept adding food to Lu Shi.

"Okay, okay~"

Li Er and his daughter-in-law Lu Shi were very happy, eating a sumptuous dinner and chatting.

"Everything is fine at home, my parents are in good health, and the third and fourth children are also very obedient. There is no need to worry about anything, as long as everyone listens to you."

"Especially after parents know that sister-in-law is born, they can't wait to come here to see their grandson."

Li Er and Li Da talked about things at home.

After all, I haven't seen Li Da for almost a year.

Looking at everyone in front of Li, the house is very good, the food is good, and the clothes are very good. Both Li Da and his sister-in-law have obviously gained a lot of weight. Looking at his nephew, he is very cute and chubby.

"That's fine, that's fine~"

"In the future, we will be comforted here in Heitu Province. When the child is older, I will go back and see what my parents said. Then I will see if I can take all my parents and younger brother out and immigrate to this Heitu Province. .”

"Although the inside of the mountain is also good, but the life is too poor, and the traffic is really inconvenient, it's better to go outside."

"The land is fertile, there are fertile fields everywhere, there is a lot of food produced, life is easy, and everyone gathers in a small town, which is also very lively, and it is convenient to buy everything."

After Li Da listened, he nodded in relief, and said after thinking about it.

After slowly getting used to it here, Li Da fell in love with the life here in Heitu Province. There is no need to worry about food and clothing here, and life is affluent. Life is much better than in Dashan.

Moreover, there are many and frequent exchanges with the outside world here, and it is also possible to know the changes in the outside world.
In the mountains, life is difficult, not to mention, the transportation is inconvenient, the information is not smooth, and it is not good anywhere.

It is said that the officials outside oppress the common people, and the common people don’t care about life, but Li Da has been here for almost a year, and the officials of the Immigration Bureau and the officials are quite responsible to the common people, and they have never bullied anyone.

As for saying that the people are in dire straits and that there are continuous famines, it is even more nonsense. Judging from what we know now, Daming has had a bumper harvest for more than ten years in a row, and the food harvested in one year is enough for the Ming people to eat for several years.

Therefore, a large amount of grain is used to feed livestock, to make wine, and to export. Because the price of grain is low and it is not easy to sell, so production areas such as Hezhong and Liaodong have begun to cultivate in rotation. , and began to vigorously develop aquaculture, animal husbandry, planting vegetables and fruits, etc. with better benefits.

It is not at all the so-called poverty and famine that the older generation in the mountains have passed on. Daming is now in a period of rapid development and prosperity, and the lives of ordinary people are easy.

Therefore, Li Da is very supportive of Li Er's emigration, and he also wants to let his parents and two younger brothers all immigrate.

"Parents will definitely not come out. They have been used to staying in the mountains all their lives. Like other old people in the village, they think it is better to be in the mountains."

When Li Er heard it, he said it very positively.

There are still very few immigrants from the mountains, and most of them are unwilling to leave their homeland and leave the mountains. They always feel that the mountains are good, and the prosperous world outside is meaningless and useless.

Only a few people really can't survive in the mountains, or they know the outside world is good, and then they leave the mountains and immigrate.

"Let's talk about it at that time. After waiting for a few years, I will go back and persuade them."

"The third and fourth children have grown up too, so they can come out together."

"The children outside here can go to school for free since they were young. After studying, they are knowledgeable and cultural people, unlike us who are all illiterate and illiterate. They can't read newspapers and even have to entrust others to write letters."

"My next-door neighbor Wang Kaiwen is about your age. He studied in school since he was a child. He can read and break characters, and he knows a lot of things. He can also operate and repair machines, and he also knows how to farm."

"They all immigrated here together. He has already reclaimed thousands of acres of land, and built a breeding farm. After the spring, he will start large-scale farming and breeding."

"I don't know anything, I don't know how to read newspapers, I don't know how to use machines, and I don't know how to farm. I'm far behind people."

Li Da also sighed.

Because I grew up in the mountains, I know too little and have little experience. Fortunately, I have a neighbor like Wang Kaiwen, who often gives advice to Li Da.

"Brother, how many acres of land have you reclaimed?"

"How did he do it?"

When Li Er heard this, he was dumbfounded. He would be exhausted to cultivate thousands of acres of land.

"Of course we use machines, cultivators. The new internal combustion engine cultivators are much more efficient. It's easy to reclaim land. Hundreds of acres of land can be reclaimed in a day."

"And he has a detailed division of his land, part of the land is used to grow food, part is used to grow vegetables, part is used to grow grass, and part is left unused in turns."

"It's very detailed, the planning is neat, and you can make your own drawings."

Li Da said quickly.

"What kind of machine can reclaim hundreds of acres of land a day?"

Li Er was dumbfounded, can he still farm like this?

Also, there is too much land here. It is unimaginable for a family to have thousands of acres of land. If there is ten acres of land in the mountains, it is considered a wealthy family.

"Why is this good land used for planting grass?"

"Cultivator, I have already bought one. After you arrive in Xiaofeng Town, remember to buy it from the Immigration Bureau. Now the government subsidizes 40%, and you can also get an interest-free loan. You can buy a cultivator in the spring. If a large amount of land is reclaimed, the cost can be paid back in one year.”

"As for planting grass, of course it is for raising cattle and sheep."

"Grain is not worth much now, and the price of a catty of grain is only three or four renminbi, and it is not easy to sell. Of course, we must engage in farming to make more money."

"Cows and sheep all need to eat grass. How can there be so much grass to feed cattle and sheep without planting grass?"

"I'm also doing literature with Wang Kai now. Anyway, there are more than a dozen sheep at home, and I will buy a few cows to raise them."

Li Da replied.

"The outside world is really strange. It's a pity that the good land is used to grow grass, and the rest is left uncultivated."

After hearing this, Li Er couldn't help but sigh.

"There is a lot of land here. There is land everywhere. As long as you can reclaim it, you can plant it as you like."

"In the past, this was a country of Tatars. We Ming people drove them away, so the land here is vast and sparsely populated, with very few people. There is a lot of land, and it is all black land, which is very fertile."

"We can't cultivate so much land at all. If you have the ability, you can cultivate ten thousand mu of land, but I'm afraid that you will be too busy at that time."

Li laughed and said: "This is not in the mountains!"

"You came at the right time. Settle down here first, and you will be able to catch up with the spring plowing after a while."

"When the time comes, remember to go to the immigration office to get all kinds of seeds. The land here is fertile, and you can grow whatever you want, such as wheat, onion, potato, corn, cabbage, cauliflower, soybean, sunflower, etc. You can plant anything you want, and the varieties can be grown. A little more, don't just grow food."

"Food is not worth much. You can do more farming, such as raising cattle and sheep. Cattle and sheep are still more valuable and easy to sell."

Li Da carefully told him that his younger brother had just arrived and didn't understand anything yet, so he had to read more.

"After a while, I will come to Xiaofeng Town to find you and see how you are doing."

"If you have anything to do, you can also trust me a little bit. Now that I am here in Heitu Province, it will be much more convenient to travel, and I will arrive soon by riding a horse."

"Hmm~"

Li Er listened carefully and wrote it down firmly.

The eldest brother came here first, and the days have passed very well.

This house looks much better and more comfortable than the house in the mountains. It has good food and comfortable living. There are also a lot of fields, including horses, cattle and sheep, and there are many animals in the backyard. Chicks.

These days, when I was in the mountains, I didn't even dare to think about it.

In the mountains, people have to be diligent, but no matter how diligent, life is still poor when there are only so many fields. It is extremely difficult to go out, and even if you have money, you can’t buy things.

Looking at this place again, everything is planned neatly, and the spacious cement roads are built to connect the small towns. The small towns are lively, and the land is rich and fertile.

For the future life, Li Er is also full of confidence and vision now, looking forward to living a prosperous life in the future, instead of being as poor as in Dashan.

The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they kept chatting until very late. Li Er stayed at Li's family for one night, and set off for Xiaofeng Town early the next day with the people from the Immigration Bureau.
