Chapter 133(1/2)
The first fleet to sail to Nanzhou set off on October 15th!
"I can finally have a good night's sleep! I'm free from yours!"
The moment the ship left the dock, Duke Cao couldn't help but sigh to his sons!
He has been worried all these days. Chongzhen and Li Bin are the father-in-law and son-in-law. What if Chongzhen wants to make Li Bin hand over his wife, what should he do if Li Bin is dizzy?
"Father, we're leaving like this?"
The eldest son is a little worried. He is the future prince. Although he has no power, he has status and money, so he should not live too well! He doesn’t have the feeling he has now!
"Do you think the Duke is very happy?"
Of course, Duke Cao knew what his son was thinking. Didn’t he come here like this?
Without waiting for his son to answer, he said to himself: "It's useless to be a subordinate for others to be cleaned up as waste. It's useful to be afraid of being too much credit and end up being a rabbit and a dog cooking!
The method Li Bin designed for us is very good! Whatever you do, you get a salary!
Everyone talks to shares through their abilities, and they don’t have to be trembling or intrigue!
If you are a waste, you can get a dividend, and if you have the ability, you can come out to manage the country!"
Slap the shoulders of my sons one by one: "Nanzhou is the Nanzhou of my Li family, nor is it the Nanzhou of my Li family. After all, our Li family only got ten points of shares this time, but the others only had two or three points, so we are still the biggest shareholders. Now the emperor belongs to our Li family. Anyone who wants to be an emperor in the future can't avoid the tickets in our hands! It's best if you have the ability to keep the throne, and you don't have to worry about being wiped out if you don't have the ability. Do things with peace of mind and wait for the future!"
This time the fleet was all these noble servants and their families! A total of 100,000 people!
There are more ships carrying supplies than ships carrying people!
Their mission is to establish the first stronghold in Bangzhen City and prepare for the acceptance of immigrants!
Under Kaifeng City, a manager brought an iron trumpet and shouted under the city wall!
"The head of the family, the child is so hungry that the weather is getting colder and colder. Otherwise, let's just go overseas. Anyway, people say that they should pay attention to food and accommodation. When they arrive, they will be divided into twenty acres of land, and the baby they hold is counted! There is no need to sign a contract for the sale. Are you afraid that your ancestors will not worship him, so aren't you afraid that your Zheng family will be in danger?"
Perhaps the last sentence forced the man surnamed Zheng to the corner, gritted his teeth, and took the young man who was only over two years old from the woman: "Let's go, let's sign up!"
“Where did it come from?”
There are documents specifically responsible for registration next to it!
"Chenliu County!"
Then the name, the family of five was recorded! Age and gender were all filled in a small notebook!
"Take this notebook and go there for dinner. Wait until a boat comes to pick it up!"
Gao Mingheng stood on the city wall with a group of assistant officials and watched the scene: "How many people have they pulled away these days?"
None of the people next to them dared to speak!
The master is his own person, and there is nothing to say: "Every day, at least tens of thousands of people are stuffed into the boats. The surrounding counties are dry and Li Zicheng's army is trampling back and forth. This year, basically all of them are gone. Not to mention ordinary tenant farmers, even the little landlords are running towards the big city now, hoping to find stuttering food!"
"Sir, if they dragged it like this, there will be no one in Henan! What should I do if my adult evaluation next year?"
This is really urgent! How many people are left in Henan now? It is estimated that there are two or three million people. If they do this, isn’t it an empty land here?
At that time, if one of the people standing here is counted, all of them will be unlucky!
"How come the treasury is empty. What should we keep people? Stay here and wait for them to starve to death? Or another Li Zicheng?"
They don’t care whether they starve to death or not, and they really can’t stand the other one Li Zicheng!
The family took the notebook and received a big steamed bun, a bowl of porridge. After eating something, it was not so cold! The child who was so hungry that he cried quietly fell asleep!
After waiting for less than an hour, a manager came to greet him on the boat!
As soon as I got off the cabin, I felt warm inside! The manager shouted that they would sit in order and said, "You guys are blessed, this is heated!"
Anyway, food and drink are delivered on time on the boat. Occasionally, some people are sick, and some people come to stuff him a few pills!
Of course, there are those who are hungry and sick for a long time and cannot get over it, so they are thrown into the Yellow River!
Even so, it is much better than what they saw along the way to Kaifeng!
That's the dead, there are only one or two of them here in a few days!
When I got to the sea, I changed the big ship and drove south!
It’s too late to worry now, so stay at ease!
The longer the time passes, the hotter it becomes!
"It's not going to be summer, right?"
The men of the Zheng family were a little panicked. How far should they go out?
The woman glanced at him fiercely: "What nonsense are you talking? You don't have to go to the deck every day? You're only on the sea for seven days!"
Quickly remove the torn cotton jacket on your body and put it aside and fold it!
"It's here!" It's here? Old Zheng breathed a sigh of relief! Although he was not seasick, he was still sitting in a dizzy place after more than ten days!
What a big place! Not far ahead, there were countless people climbing up and down the city of Xiucheng! Lao Zheng pulled his family to the shore! He only felt that the land in front of him was endless and he could not see the edge at all!
"Come here, you guys, come and go with me!" Someone in charge was shouting!
Almost four or five hundred people formed a long team, and walked to the southeast under the supervision of a manager and ten servants carrying muskets!
"Mainly, are you building a city in front?" Lao Zheng decided to ask. After all, the whole family has arrived here, and it is okay if you don't even ask the place clearly!
"Yes, I'm repairing Bangzhen City! Do you have any health problems?"
How dare Lao Zheng say that he has physical problems? He quickly answered: "No problem, no problem!"
"If you have no problem, come and pull the cart. We have a lot of things!"
He drove all the men to drive the bus, and the manager took them forward!
I don’t know where this place is. It’s winter in Kaifeng, but it’s summer in this place! Is there any such place in the Ming Dynasty?
The group of people walked for most of the day, but fortunately they were all flat on the ground. Although they were full of weeds, they could barely walk! "It's here. Everyone stop and have a rest and build a house later!"
Building a house? What to build a house? There are not even trees here! Is it a waste of soil? That's not a day or two!
But the manager took the dozen servants to draw lines on the ground!
"All men get up, come and help!"
It turned out that the car was loaded with houses? Under the command of the manager, Lao Zheng raised the wooden boards with two other men and put them together!
More than a hundred men have built more than a hundred wooden houses when it gets dark!
Next, the manager asked everyone to stand together according to their books! Then each book was divided into a small house!
Although the house is small, the family of five finally has a place to sleep!
The family was looking at the house, and suddenly they heard the sound of muskets outside! Lao Zheng quickly stopped the three children in the house and looked out to see it!
"Everyone came out to receive the food and food!" The manager called again. It seemed that he should be responsible for this area!
Each family has two sets of bed rolls, a basket of pots and pans, and a bag of fifty kilograms of grain, and an iron stove! It’s enough for the whole family to eat and sleep!
After that, the manager even stuffed him a long knife: "Hold them all, if there are wild animals or something to defend yourself!"
While getting things, the servants happily dragged a wild beast he didn't know: "Sincere, I'm killing a big kangaroo and tell everyone about it. It will be broken tomorrow in such a hot day!"
It turned out that they were firing the gun just now! These servants would not always guard them. After escorting, they would leave two of them here to maintain order, and everyone else would be separated!
They came for more than a month and had been to several places. When they were training them, they said that they could be eaten with this kind of thing, which is similar to beef!
A group of people were peeling each other, and each family had more than one pound! The manager and the servants must have kept them with them for a little more night to drink!
Lao Zheng brought this pound of succulent home. His wife had already laid the bed and put everything in place!
"The head of the house is much better than our own! How come such a beautiful house is given so many things!"
Lao Zheng handed the meat to his wife: "You cut it first, I'll fetch water, and then make some grass to cook."
More than one hundred houses are divided into two opposite rows, with a road left in the middle, and a small river at the end of the road!
Everyone comes from different places and is not familiar with each other. It’s already dark. They are busy fetching water and go home to cook, and there is no communication!
Lao Zheng brought a bucket of water home, then took out a sickle from the basket, and while mowing the grass, he was thinking: This place looks pretty good, but there is no place to cook, so he can only make do with the grass!
He beat the grass home, put the stove under the eaves, and the lady started cooking!
There is no food allowed in the house. If the house is burned, there will be no other good thing to give you. But the manager has repeatedly emphasized it!
After flipping through the basket, there was actually fine salt and a large bottle of soybean paste!
The boss gave him such a little food and didn't dare to eat it casually. Who knows what happened next!
One person drank a bowl of porridge with sliced meat!
"It's better to be on the boat, at least you can eat enough!" Lao Zheng missed the days of taking the boat a little!
As soon as the sun came out, the manager shouted again: "It's all out, you lazy guys! Come out to divide the land!"
When I heard that it was really true, everyone ran faster than rabbits! What are the most feared by farmers? They are afraid of no land to plant!
Further east is Xiaohegou. Everyone is standing in the west of the village. According to what the manager said, everyone’s land is here!
The lottery draw is always on the west side according to the numbers on the lottery draw! Lao Zheng was lucky and actually got the third one!
