Starve the faint-hearted, and support the bold.
In order to stabilize the frontier of the Western Regions, especially to take over the Caucasus, the imperial court issued an edict to recruit Han Chinese immigrants.
As long as they are willing to come, the court will give land, and even slaves.
"Give it back to the slave for real" A young man stood at the gate of Shuofang, looking at the official standing next to the notice and asked.
"This can still be fake, can you see it, the edict of the imperial court, the holy decree of His Majesty, the cabinet and the Hanlin Yuan have been sealed, this is not the official document of our county Yazhou Ya, it is more than the provincial government and the provincial government.
It is clearly written, if you immigrate a few people, I will send you a few slaves.
If you go over there with a family of five, and you get there, not to mention 200 acres of land per person, you will be given 200 acres of mountains and forests, and you will be given five slaves.
If you are a man of ten, you will be given ten slaves.
Also, there is a tax exemption for the first three years, and a tax for another five and a half years after three years.
This is the emperor's grace, a rare opportunity, to tell you, such a good thing, only we Han have.
Those Turkic people, Dangxiang people, Xianbei people, and Yi people, they want to go, but they don't have the qualifications. ” "If you want to go, hurry up and sign up, the opportunity is rare, the opportunity must not be missed, and the time will not come again" Listening to the shouts of the officials, there are really many people who are moved.
Shuofang Road is in the north of Guanzhong, where the conditions are much worse than the rich Guanzhong Plains.
Especially in Yanshuo and other prefectures, it is not as good as Lingwu and other places in the Hetao, where in addition to producing good salt, there are more deserts and Gobi.
In recent years, a large number of people have migrated out, and there are indeed not many people left, and the land allocated to each person is not small.
Especially after the promotion of drought-tolerant crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes, everyone can have enough to eat.
If it was in the past, such a life would be truly happy.
But the goods have to be thrown away, and people are more angry than people.
The same people of Dahua, look at the people on the Guanzhong Plain, look at the people in Hetao, people's lives are tens of millions of times better than them, not to mention food and clothing, everyone is now building a new house in the compound, which is not wearing new clothes every year, and they are still patching patches and patches, reluctant to buy clothes every year.
More and more young people are going out to work and broaden their horizons.
Now many young girls are also working in the workshop, and as a result, their horizons are also high, and they are generally unwilling to marry back to their hometowns to live a hard life, and many girls are married to Guanzhong or Hetao, and as a result, it is difficult for local young men to marry, and the bride price is high.
In the past, although there were also bride prices, they were not high, and girls would have dowries, and generally speaking, dowries would even be higher than the bride price.
But now, the bride price here is getting higher and higher, and many girls only give a little dowry.
That's it, the girl was still rushed to ask for it, and the threshold was broken.
It is really that the poorer the place, the more difficult it is to marry, and the higher the bride price.
More and more young men are no longer willing to stay at home to farm, and they can only make a living from farming, and they can't make a fortune, let alone save a high bride price, so they leave their hometowns to work.
However, there are also some people who are reluctant to work, and they never have a bottom to work for others, and they always feel that when they can't do it in the future, they are worried that there is no way out.
Some emigrated to other places, some to the frontiers, some to the princes' territories, all of which were more affluent lands.
Now, after the more attractive recruitment and immigration plan, there are still many hesitant people, and they are also moved.
More and more people are inquiring.
Some asked about the arrangements on the road, some asked about the settlement fee, and some asked about the climate and land conditions over there.
Wang Dafu asked again and again for a long time, asked all the doubts in his heart, and then excitedly picked up the empty willow basket and ran home, he was picking up the little piglets to sell today.
It was sold out early, and I was about to go home, but I encountered a notice and listened to it for a long time.
I didn't even care about some other things I promised to buy for my family, so I ran straight home.
As soon as he got home, he threw down the willow basket and rushed directly to his father.
"Dad, I've thought about it, I want to emigrate."
My father was weaving a willow basket with a dry pipe in his mouth.
He knitted the basket with a focused expression, did not look up, took a puff of cigarette, and asked, "Where to move?"
"Move to the Caucasus."
"Where is the Caucasus?"
"To the west, say between the Caspian Sea and the Black Sea."
"I haven't heard of it."
Lao Wang was not interested.
Lao Wang is a more traditional old farmer, when he was young, his parents died early, he was raised by his brother and sister-in-law, when he was young, he worked for the landlord's cattle herding, and he did a big tenant farming, and when he was almost thirty, he was married to a widow who was widowed, but after marriage, Liu gave birth to three sons and four daughters, and the family was neat.
When you are used to living a hard life, you will be timid.
Today's Wang family, the four men in the family, planting more than 100 acres of land, are self-sufficient, usually raise some chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep, there are two cows at home, and such a yard, Lao Wang feels very satisfied, and thanks the emperor for letting their family turn over and live a good life.

Back then, the landlord's house where he herded cattle was no better than his family's current life, and he had no debts, he was more than enough every year, self-sufficient, and after selling grain or cows, sheep, and pigs every year, he could also pull some new cloth to make some clothes, and a few little grandchildren could even study for free in the village primary school.
That's all there is to it.
Nowadays, many young people in the village are always dissatisfied and always want to get rich and earn money.
Some people take their daughters-in-law and children to the city, and some people simply leave their mother-in-law and children at home.
Like what, this still feels like home.
Lao Wang did not allow his children to go out to work, and some merchants had come to the village to recruit workers several times before, some recruited men to prospect for mines, and some recruited women to work, but Lao Wang did not agree once.
He didn't allow it.
As long as he is not dead, then this family will still be his home.
It's good for the family to be reunited, so why always think about being rich and rich.
"Dad, the conditions for this immigration are really good, as long as you sign up, the court will pay the settlement fee and the travel fee, and now the whole family has moved away, the houses and fields here, etc., the court will also pay for the acquisition, in addition, when you get there, the land will be divided according to the mouth, and each family will be given 200 acres of land regardless of size, and if you bring slaves over, each slave can also get 100 acres.
In addition to the distribution of fields, each mouth is also given 200 acres of mountain and woodland.
The more Wang Dafu said, the more excited he became, "Dad, think about it, our family has not been divided yet, and the three younger sisters have not yet married, adding up to a total of 21 people, although the children are still young, they can also divide the fields, 21 people, can divide 4,200 acres of land, plus more than 4,000 acres of mountains and forests."
Our family suddenly became a big landowner. ” More than 4,000 acres of land, plus more than 4,000 acres of mountains and forests, isn't that a big landowner, and the land in their village is not more than 4,000 acres?
The old king continued to weave his basket.
"How can there be such a good thing, a family will divide more than 4,000 acres of land, where can there be so much land, if you say that a Chengding is divided into 200 acres of land, I still believe that the frontier, the land may not be fertile, and it may have to be reclaimed.
But you say that there are 200 acres for men, women, and children, I don't believe it. ” "Dad, this is the will of the imperial court, it is the emperor's holy decree, these years, the emperor's grace is vast, our life is getting better and better, when did the imperial court deceive our little people.
And when I got there, I was exempt from land for the first three years, and I was paid for the last five and a half years.
Now this field is already low, one mu is only fifteen yuan, if it is so exempt, there is not much. ” Lao Wang knocked the dry tobacco stick on the sole of his shoe a few times, "More than 4,000 acres of land, even if the imperial court really gives it, but our family planted it Now our family has five adults, plus your mother, your daughter-in-law and your three sisters, there are only thirteen people in the family who can work, but women are not more powerful than men."
No matter how extensive you plough, or even rotational tillage, you can't plant that much. ” Lao Wang calculated another account.
At present, the land tax is levied according to the acres of land, not according to the dingkou. 4,200 acres of land, 15 yuan per acre, and the field endowment that year was also 63,000 yuan, which was fixed.
The first three years are exempt, the last five and a half years, and the next five years are thirty-one thousand and a half, and after eight years, at least sixty-three thousand per year thereafter.
Just by farming, these more than 60 yuan is a lot of money.
Besides, even if the imperial court gave land, how could it reclaim so much land.
Reclamation can be more difficult than farming.
Moreover, this uprooted man went to the Caucasus, and Lao Wang still didn't want to.
The ancestral cemeteries are all here, and when the winter solstice of Qingming is in the future, who will sacrifice and sweep.
"Dad, why are you still so old-fashioned.
There are 21 people in our family, and there are really not many people who can work, but isn't there a policy that if there is a mouthful, one slave will be sent.
Twenty-one people give twenty-one slaves, and this is the greatest benefit.
If you can get 21 slaves, even if only half of them are adults who can work, then our family will have 20 people who can work in the future, buy cattle and horses to cultivate, more than 4,000 acres of land, plough in rotation, and even hire some people when the farm is busy, and we will definitely be able to finish planting.
The tax is not small, but I heard that there is still a war over there, and the grain is very expensive, higher than the price of the Central Plains. ” "If you fight a war, you can't go, they all say that you'd rather be a peace dog than a troubled world, and you must not go to this place where the war is fought.
No matter how many thousands of family properties and thousands of acres of fertile land are, they are not stable, and in the event of war, the soldiers are like bandits, and nothing is reliable. ” Anyway, no matter what Wang Dafu said, Lao Wang made up his mind not to go to the Caucasus.
He didn't believe in 200 acres of land per person, nor did he believe that the imperial court still gave slaves to immigrants, and what he was most worried about was that there was still a war there.
Lao Wang, who has experienced war, has an instinctive fear of war.
"No, absolutely not."
"Dad, if you don't agree, then I'll take my daughter-in-law and children to go by myself."
Wang Dafu was anxious and said cruel things.
He had enough of this kind of poverty. t1706231537:
