Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 929 Autumn in the Western Regions River (additional meal)

Blue Sky Town in the Western Regions.

Li Guaizi staggered towards the outside of Lantian Town in a four-wheeled carriage. His two wives from the Western Regions, Mayila and Alina, were sitting on the carriage behind him. Both of them were pregnant. Li Guaizi didn't let them go out to harvest wheat.

But the two women felt sorry for Li Guaizi and insisted on going to harvest the wheat together, so they brought them with them. At the same time, Mayila's daughter Ellie also followed, playing with toys and eating candied haws carefree.

Li Guaizi treated the three of them very well. Although Ellie was not her own, she raised her as her own daughter. This moved Mayila very much, and she gradually put her body and mind on Li Guaizi.

Although Li Guaizi is a kidnapper and his legs are not very convenient, but he has a carpenter's job, and after immigrating to the Western Regions, the imperial court allocated a large field and a pasture. The life is actually quite good, life is rich, the key It is still very stable.

Unlike the days they used to live, they lived by water and grass, lived a nomadic life, had no fixed place, and lived a very poor life, especially in winter and spring, when life was the most difficult.

It was the autumn harvest season at this time, and the whole Lantian Town was extremely busy, and every household was like Li Guaizi's. The whole family sat in a four-wheeled carriage and walked to the fields outside Lantian Town, preparing to harvest wheat.

"Brother Kidnap, are you going out to harvest wheat?"

The same is true for Zhang Xiaozi's family. They drove a four-wheeled carriage to the outside of Lantian Town, and happened to meet Li Guaizi.

"Short Zhang, it's ok, are you pregnant?"

Li Guaizi looked at shorty Zhang, then at the two Kazakh women behind him, and said with a smile.

"Haha, each other, each other, originally didn't want them to go to the ground, but they insisted on making a fuss. There's no other way. Take them outside for a walk. The ground definitely won't let them go to the ground."

Shorty Zhang smiled and nodded, with a happy smile on his face. Shorty Zhang is going to be a father too, and the women he buys are all tall, so the children born after this will definitely not be short.

"Let's go together then~"

Li Guaizi smiled and nodded.

So the two drove the four-wheeled carriage side by side, the two of them chatted non-stop in front, and on the carriage behind, Mayila and Alina also chatted with Zhang Shorty's two women.

After leaving Lantian Town, soon, the beautiful scenery like a picture scroll came into view.

The location of Lantian Town is very good, only more than a hundred miles away from the Western Capital City, and the Western Capital City is located in the later Yili, which is the richest and most beautiful place in the entire Western Region.

The location of Yili is very special. The Tianshan Mountains are divided into north and south. In such a position, the airflow from the Atlantic Ocean (the Atlantic Ocean) is lifted by the Tianshan Mountains and forms precipitation in Yili.

The amount of precipitation here is comparable to that of the North China region of the Great Ming Dynasty. The precipitation is full, coupled with the melting snow on the surrounding snow, etc., it also gave birth to the most beautiful and richest region in the entire Western Region.

(Some people say that if Wai Yili had not been lost later, the capital of Xinjiang would definitely be located in Ili instead of the current Urumqi~~)

Thanks to such a unique climate and geographical location, the entire Lantian Town not only has huge pastures, but also a large area of ​​excellent fields.

Sitting on the four-wheeled carriage, Li Guaizi looked around, and there were golden wheat fields nearby. With the wind blowing in the wheat fields, they shone like golden waves.

On the hillside farther away, there are vast pastures, patches of pastures. Here, there are flocks of cattle and sheep, picturesque grasslands, galloping horses, and a sea of ​​flowers.

Looking into the distance, there are patches of luxuriant forest seas. The boundary between forest seas and grasslands is very clear, like a stroke of a god, clearly distinguishing each other.

The farthest distance is the snow-white snow-capped mountain. The top of the snow-capped mountain can still be seen covered with snow. Under the sunlight, it is as holy as a virgin.

Snow mountains, forest seas, grasslands, wheat fields, and the Lantian Town and the river meandering down from the snow mountains, this picture is as beautiful as a scroll, even a person like Li Guaizi, who can't compose poems and poems, can't bear it at this moment. They couldn't help but began to sing the songs of their hometown in Lin County, Henan.

"My family lives in Lantian Town~"

"Oh~~oh~oh~oh"

"Lantian Town, Lantian Town, beautiful and picturesque~"

Li Guaizi's voice was very rough, and even changed the lyrics, so short Zhang next to him couldn't help but say, "Brother Guaizi, this word is wrong."

"What's wrong?"

"You know what a fart, let you go back now, will you go back?"

Li Guaizi looked at Shorty Zhang, smiled and asked.

"I'll go back only if I'm stupid. The life here is so comfortable, why should I go back?"

Shorty Zhang replied without thinking.

"That's it, this is our home, the home where our children and grandchildren will live here, so this word is correct?"

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, that's how it should be sung."

Shorty Zhang nodded again and again, and then sang along.

Immigrants came to the Western Regions. On the way, they experienced a long trek. They were discouraged. After seeing the desolation and deserts of the Western Regions, they even regretted their intestines.

But there was no turning back when he opened the bow, so he could only bite the bullet and come to the Western Regions, and came to Lantian Town.

From being uncomfortable at the beginning to gradually adapting to the life here, and now, I really fell in love with this place, fell in love with this place, couldn't leave here, and regarded this place as my real home.

They also sang the ballad that they had changed at will from the bottom of their hearts. As their singing spread, people in the surrounding rice fields and on the road also sang along.

Lantian Town, this is their home, everything here is so beautiful, people forget their hometown.

……

Longtou Town on the banks of the Mother River in the Hezhong area also ushered in a bumper harvest season.

On the vast field, Liu Daudao, as the only person in Longtou Town who can drive a steam harvester, is driving a steam harvester walking around in the field. The wheat fields were harvested.

There was an unconcealable smile on Liu Bold's face, especially when he looked at the wheat field in front of him, he couldn't stop smiling from ear to ear.

When he first immigrated to the Hezhong area at the beginning of the year, he was still worried about his future life, and he was restless. When he came here, he had to start all over again. There was no food at home, and he relied on the regular food distribution from the imperial court. live.

What is even more worrying is that the area in the middle of the river is still very unsafe. From time to time, surrounding nomads will come to harass them, and occasionally someone can be heard dying under the butcher's knife of those barbarians.

But as he gradually became familiar with everything here, he also began to like it here.

The land in the middle of the river is very flat, open, and fertile. The river brings abundant water and sunlight, which is very suitable for growing wheat and rice.

Because there is so much land, the imperial court encourages reclamation. In addition to the fields allocated by the imperial court, the reclaimed land also belongs to itself.

After a year of hard work, Liu Bold's family's field also ushered in a bumper harvest. Hundreds of acres of wheat are golden and golden, which is very gratifying to look at.

Thinking about it again, the imperial court has exempted them from taxes for several years, all the wheat belongs to them, and they don't even have to pay the land tax, so the whole person is full of joy.

For a person like Liu Bold who has been farming all his life, land and food are naturally the most important things. With hundreds of acres of land, there is endless food in the house, and these days are good days.

"Liu Bold, Liu Bold~"

At this time, someone rode to Liu Daudao's side and shouted loudly.

Liu Boldly listened, looked at the other party, immediately stopped the steam harvester, and said with a smile: "Mayor, what do you want from me?"

"Liu Bold, do you sell your wheat?"

"If you want to sell it, remember to send it to the grain depot in the town. The imperial court buys a large amount of grain in our Hezhong area. Four stones of grain can be sold for one tael of silver."

Liu Rong looked at Liu Boldly and asked, he also received an order from above to ask all towns in the Hezhong area to buy the surplus grain from the people.

Liu Rong is a retired soldier, and he can guess it with his toes. The court must be preparing for the use of troops next year. The bumper harvest of grain in the Hezhong area not only meets the needs of the immigrants in the Hezhong area, but also does not need to be transported from the Central Plains. The food is in the river.

At the same time, the purpose and intention of Daming to seize Hezhong and manage the Hezhong area can be realized initially. The abundant harvest in the Hezhong area can provide sufficient food for the army that continues to march westward in the future.

"Four stones of grain only sell for one tael of silver, which is too low, don't sell it, don't sell it~"

When Liu Boldly heard this, he immediately shook his head and said.

"It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not. This price is not bad. You haven't read the newspaper. The wheat in Liaodong costs only five shi for one or two taels of silver. The price given by the imperial court is not bad."

"You can decide for yourself, whether you sell it or not is up to you. I guess you won't be able to put a lot of wheat in your house. You should sell some to the imperial court. The imperial court will be of great use."

Liu Rong smiled and said, and then rode to the next place.

"Four shi grains are only sold for one tael of silver. I can only harvest less than one thousand taels of grain on my [-] mu of land. I still have more than two hundred taels of silver. I earn more than two hundred taels of silver a year. It still looks pretty good.”

Seeing Liu Rong leave, Liu Boldly looked at the wheat field in front of him, calculated carefully, and immediately raised his eyebrows with a smile. These days are quite good, and he can earn more than two hundred taels of silver a year just by farming.

This was something unimaginable before immigrating. In the past, the idea of ​​farming was to have more food and to eat a few more meals. How could I dare to think about money.

"It's better to immigrate. Next year, we must cultivate more fields and use more machinery to earn more money!"
