Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 342 341. New Life

Yinzhou.

See Silver County Harbor.

A dozen ships sailed from the sea and then docked at the berth of the port.

Drop anchor and reef the sail.

The spacious, reinforced and strong planks were lowered diagonally from the deck in line with the harbor berth.

On the berth, the port staff use iron hooks to connect the ship board with the lower placement to achieve a fixed effect.

After putting down the ship's planks, two movable wooden boards on one side of the deck were pulled apart, revealing the slightly uneasy faces on the deck.

Each of these people carried several salutes on their backs, either in their hands or on their shoulders, anyway, none of them was empty-handed.

As these dozens of ships docked, the village chiefs who came to the port early in the morning each brought a dozen people to greet them.

"Hey, you are all brothers from Qingzhou, please get off the boat. It has been a tiring journey. We have prepared food. After you have eaten and rested, we will handle the household registration for you and distribute the fields."

"It's time for you this time. Last year, the prefect led us to open up 10,000+ acres of farmland. After you are naturalized, each person can get ten acres. They are all good farmlands, and they have been raised for a full year. .”

"Besides, you don't need to pay taxes for the first three years, and you only need half the tax for the next three years."

More than a dozen village chiefs happened to have one person and one boat, which seemed to be arranged from the beginning.

Under their words, these people from Qingzhou followed them off the boat ignorantly.

It is not normal to be ignorant. Many people have sailed such a long distance by boat for the first time, and now they no longer know where they are.

Facing an unfamiliar environment, almost everyone will be cautious.

A dozen or so village chiefs got off the boat with hundreds of people each.

Those who had followed them from the beginning began to check the health of the arriving Qingzhou people one by one.

To prevent possible infectious diseases.

In fact, they had already checked once when they boarded the ship in Qingzhou before they came, but just to be on the safe side, it is good to check more.

About a quarter of an hour, each of these people was in charge of more than a dozen and quickly checked it out.

There is no special sick number.

Upon seeing this, the village chief calmed everyone down.

"Free examination is a good thing. In the past, we had to spend some money to see a doctor and hire a doctor. Now we can check for everyone without money. You can rest assured that you know that there is nothing wrong with you."

"Okay, I'm tired all the way, let's go, let's eat, the food is full, don't eat to fill your stomach haha."

Say it.

The village head took his several hundred Qingzhou Baixing to the canteen at the port.

There are quite a lot of staff in the port, so the canteen is also large in scale. The order from the prefect's mansion came early in the morning, so the chefs in the port canteen have already prepared.

There are fish buns, sweet potato polenta, sweet potato vermicelli, and potato vermicelli.

Before reaching the place, the people from Qingzhou smelled the fragrance.

The spacious, bright and clean dining hall made all the people of Qingzhou feel at ease.

The young village head who brought them smiled and comforted him.

"Let's go and I'll take you to cook. From now on, this is the home for everyone to live in. Why are you so polite when you get home?"

"Walk around, keep up, I didn't eat early in the morning."

The enthusiasm of the young village chief reassured the people of Qingzhou a lot. They followed closely and followed the young village chief to the window for cooking.

The staff in charge of cooking are very enthusiastic: "Here, it's been a hard journey, come, order whatever you want, and eat as much as you want!"

Perhaps because everyone along the way was so enthusiastic, the people of Qingzhou felt a little more relaxed at this moment, under the guidance of the staff and the chatty young village chief holding a bowl of potato flour.

The people of Qingzhou all had hot food.

"The chopsticks are over there, and the buns are next to it. Just put what you want in the bowl, and don't waste it."

As long as a Qingzhou citizen packs food, the staff will say in the direction of their forehead.

And the young village head with a lot of powder was standing where the chopsticks and steamed buns were placed, and when he came over, he couldn't help but recommend the taste of steamed stuffed buns.

The enthusiastic appearance really made the people of Qingzhou really feel like they had returned home.

Delicious food comforts these people who have left their hometown.

Everyone is full of food and drink. They used to be farmers who lived at the bottom. When did they eat something so delicious.

Those steamed buns and white noodles, I have only heard of them, but this is the first time I have tasted them.

The powder in the bowl is strong, and it looks like fine food.

With such preferential treatment, 90.00% of these people recognized this place after eating this meal, and they were convinced by the enthusiastic village chief in front of them.

"Are you full?"

The young village chief casually wiped his mouth with his cuff, then blew his nose and asked.

"If you're not full, grab some steamed stuffed buns. This stuff is full of oil and water, and it's very good against hunger."

After all, he stepped forward and took two of them and put them in his pocket.

Seeing him like this, many people followed suit, but they didn't take more. Like the young village chief, they were satisfied with just two.

"Hey, that's right, let's go. From now on, you will be in the same village as me. My name is Zhao Ji. Your village chief, you can call me by my name or village chief Zhao from now on."

"Come on, let's apply for household registration."

After a meal, three or four hundred people in Qingzhou felt very good about the village head in front of them. They gradually let go of their courage, and asked Zhao Ji one by one in Qingzhou dialect with a slight accent.

"Village Chief Zhao, can we really get ten acres of land each? Still don't have to pay taxes?"

"Of course. Why did I lie to you?"

While talking, Zhao Ji led these hundreds of Qingzhou people out of the big dining hall.

Facing him, I happened to meet a young village head who was as young as him and brought hundreds of Qingzhou people over.

"Yo, finished eating, so fast?"

"Haha, we can't do anything else, cooking No.1, stop chattering, everyone is hungry, so hurry up and take something to eat."

"Sure, see you later."

"Well, see you later."

The two teams staggered past.

Seeing that the two village chiefs were of the same age, some of the people brought by Zhao Ji asked curiously.

"Village Chief Zhao, you are all so young, you can see that I shouldn't ask, shouldn't ask at such a young age."

With a slap, the person who asked the question gave himself a slap in the face, flattering Zhao Ji a little embarrassingly, although they get along a little harmoniously now, but after all, the people are the people and the officials, not to mention the village officials are directly in charge of them.

If this is remembered, there will be trouble in the future.

Zhao Ji laughed: "Why do you beat yourself up? There's nothing wrong with that. We're not officials of the Han Dynasty, so we don't pay much attention to crushing people to death."

Then he turned around and solemnly said to the people of Qingzhou: "I know what our life was like before, and I am also an ordinary person who has been rescued in the past few years. Hard labor, endless taxes!"

"But, everyone is different now. We have all been saved by your Majesty. From now on, we will be able to farm enough to fill our warehouses, and there will even be a surplus that can be sold to the prefect's mansion every year. None of what I just said to you is a lie. , we no longer have to pay so much miscellaneous taxes, and everyone can live peacefully in the future!"

What Zhao Ji said was serious, but the people of Qingzhou, who were used to hard times, were only dubious. Before they had experienced it, they still had the worst plans for themselves.

Things are business as usual.

got used to.
