Chapter 144 The Great Immigrant of the Red River Valley

"Good news, good news, the Red River Delta recruits immigrants, each household is divided into 50 acres of land, rice is ripe three times a year, and the Huaxia company includes housing and rations, and only 20% of the rent is charged!"

At the Hanjiang Wharf in Xiangyang, the guy from China Resources Department Store is shouting hard!

After Li Bin suppressed Chongzhen, the Ministry of Commerce began to accelerate its expansion. Not only did it complete the three major water systems of the Yangtze River, the Yellow River and the Pearl River, but it also began to expand towards other tributaries!

Xiangyang branch is one of the results of recent expansion!

"Man, where is the Red River mouth?"

If there is that good thing, I came up to ask! Although it feels incredible to divide each household with 50 acres of land and only 20% of the rent, it is not harmful to ask!

"Have you heard of Shenglong in Annan? It's the Honghekou Delta!"

Of course, my guy knows the company's big move some time ago!

"Annan? How could I, the Ming people, remove Annan?"

The person who asked the question looked contemptuous! Who will go to such a small country? The Ming people were no strangers to immigration. They had worked in many immigrants during the Zhu Yuanzhang era! However, the feudal bureaucrats were corrupt and had low organizational capabilities, which led to heavy losses every time they immigrated, and people changed their color when they heard about immigration!

"You don't understand this, right? Annan has sold this place to our company, and it will be called the Honghe Special Administrative Region of China Company in the future!"

The guy looked contempt! The little landlord in front of him looked like he was looking at a country bumpkin!

Of course, Li Bin would not tell others that he stole this place, so he simply shamelessly claimed that he bought it! Anyway, no one would jump out to cause trouble for him!

"How many acres have you bought?"

The landlord is idle anyway!

"Ten million acres, 200,000 immigrants, only accepting the poor. We don't want a master like you!"

The guy obviously didn't have time to talk to him. Maybe the manager will come out after a while!

"Our boss, do we really need to register four households? I heard that all of them were placed separately. So will it be rare for us to see our son and others in the future?"

Natural disasters and man-made disasters, government food taxes, landlord rents, and occasionally accidents. Even if Lao Niu has three sons and two daughters are good at work, he still has a short income every year, and even a full meal is a luxury!

Today, Lao Niu took his three sons to the dock to carry a big bag, and he heard the shouts of the department store staff!

"I would rather be separated from the family? But people said that if you want a family of seven to report to a family, then you will resettle together, that is, fifty acres of land! If you report to the family, each son can divide it into fifty acres of land. People also said that the entire Honghekou is only two or three hundred miles in a radius, and it will take two or three days to get there! If it is divided into places along the river, it will be faster!"

When Lao Niu thinks about the fact that the whole family wants to separate the land, he feels in a bad mood: This is too many rules for the company! If you find a tenant, they will farm well for you. What is the reason for breaking up people by households!

Jang Geun-shuo also raised this question at the immigration work conference: "Why do we have to separate those men with more labor in the family? Isn't it okay to just divide the land according to the population? In this way, they have more labor and farming can be more efficient!"

Li Bin glanced at the expressions of everyone and knew that they had not understood their thoughts yet. It would be better to take this opportunity to explain to them so as not to miss the work: "You must first understand where is the management difficulties in rural areas?"

Seeing everyone's confused look, Li Bin knew that they didn't understand these things. After all, whether they were factories, farms or construction teams, they were managed according to the workers' methods!

"Let me tell you, the biggest trouble in rural areas is the clan! The same surname!"

After Li Bin said this, everyone suddenly realized that the clan would fight at any time in later generations, let alone in the Ming Dynasty!

These clan elders are the people in power in the countryside, and what they say is better than the government!

The formation of a clan is based on multiple brothers in the family, which spreads branches and leaves, and then forms a force that dominates the country!

"If the family has five brothers and the other family has only one man, if both sides compete for water and land, who will have the advantage?"

"And in the future, as long as this family with five brothers has enough food and basic health security, the family's reproduction will inevitably become faster and faster, and eventually develop into the overlord of a village or just a village. At that time, we will not be able to clean up their bad influence for a while!"

As a time travel enthusiast, Li Bin understands these things very well!

Li Bin knocked on the table and strengthened his tone: "All immigrants from the Honghekou Special Administrative Region will be disbanded and distributed. Whoever builds the ancestral hall will be pulled to dig bird droppings, whoever dares to organize clan activities, the whole family will dig bird droppings, whoever dares to set up a private court and abuse lynching, we will deal with them according to the crimes they charge! Except for us, no one has the right to make a judgment on others! This must be repeatedly promoted with all immigrants!"

Lao Niu finally failed to resist the temptation that the whole family could divide the four families into two hundred acres of good paddy fields. In his opinion, they all caused a little hardship. There is nothing to cheat except individuals. What would people like them do if they don’t farm?

I signed up for myself and my three sons as four families, and soon the whole family was arranged to board the boat! To be honest, it was not that Lao Niu often came to the dock to carry the work during the slack farming period. When I saw this large iron ship that was flowing on the Han River, I didn’t dare to register with confidence! The boss has the strength, so those who work can feel at ease!

The boss did not lie to them all the way from the Han River to the Yangtze River. The owner did not lie to them on the way. Every steamed bun rice ball was eaten at will, and the whole family of seven could still get a can of fish every day. The landlord and the master dared not make it like this!

"Dad, what a big ship!"

The youngest girl is only ten years old, and the old cow is in great pain, but she hasn't eaten much for a long time, her hair is yellow and a little thin!

The family was stunned when they looked at the three thousand-ton sea ferry parked on the sea!

"Don't worry, our new owner is not an ordinary person!"

Lao Niu felt at this moment, and it was quite a bit like a person who had entered the Fortune 500 worlds by later generations!

When the family arrives at Honghekou, they will have to draw lots to allocate their respective villages!

This time, in order to save management personnel, Li Bin arranged all of them as one large village with 500 households!

In this way, there are only 400 villages in 200,000 households! Each village has a village chief, a militia captain and sheriff, and a health officer and accountant!

The village chief and the sheriff are both retired soldiers who have passed away in Li Bin’s army of Jihu. The health staff are trained and assigned by the Ministry of Health! Ten villages are one town!

The four male members of Lao Niu family finished drawing all the lottery. Lao Niu was drawn in Village 28, and the other three sons also drew differently!

The family was crying for the upcoming separation, and some people in charge came over: "Why are you crying? Hurry up and remember the address of the whole family, and you can contact each other when you visit relatives in the future!"

Li Bin is to prevent clan forces, not to separate flesh and blood! Each village has a detailed number, and each household has its own house number!

His China Resources Department Store itself has the function of a postal system, and each village will have branches. As long as you remember the number and house number of the other party’s village, China Resources Department Store will send the letters to you! Considering the literacy rate of the poor in the Ming Dynasty, it even provides letter writing and letter reading services!

The family wiped away their tears and quickly begged the manager to help. They wrote four copies of everyone's address, one copy for each household, and then they would rely on it for their relatives to write letters to visit relatives in the future!

With the address in my arms, the family's sorrow of separation became weaker!

Lao Niu's village number is up front, and he and his wife plus two daughters, and first follow a village chief to start walking forward!

"Village Chief, are so many people building dikes? Should we do labor service?"

The old cow looked at the crowds of people digging and bulldozing on both sides of the river, and felt a little panicked! What farmers fear the most is corvee service!

The village chief sneered: "It's not your turn. The company has a lot of laborers who don't want money and are not afraid of death. If you have any problems with you, you may die if you do it. We are not so bold!"

Lao Niu didn’t understand what the village chief said, but he still heard it without having to go to labor!

Village No. 28 is not far from the sea, and there are more than 2,000 people in the entire village. In half a day, they were transported by more than ten boats to the side of the village near the river!

"Everyone get off the boat and follow me!"

The village chief carried his Li family, and brought him the sanitation officer who also carried a gun on his back!

"? Oh, I'm used to playing with the 1st Clan in China. It's a bit unpleasant to carry this broken gun on my back!"

The village chief lowered his head and complained quietly! There was no way. Now the Jihu Army has not reached the company commander level and has not reached the level of the company commander. He sent it to the government affairs training class for two months, and then sent it to the level of the army to transfer to the town mayor, village chief, and sheriff!

These people are reluctant to leave the Jihu Army. What's the point of being a small village chief? He just gave a hand to Li's 1 family, it was boring!

I walked for more than an hour before I took everyone to the big glutinous rice field in front of the village!

"Everyone stands one by one, I'll call one up!"

The village chief started shouting with the iron horn handed over by the sheriff who was in charge of guarding the house!

"Niu Chun! Niu Chun's whole family came out!"

Lao Niu is No. 1 in Village 28, so he was the first to call him!

He quickly led his wife and two daughters to stand up!

"Go to the side and get things with him!"

The village chief pointed at the sanitary officer, and Lao Niu quickly followed the sanitary officer's footsteps to the side!

"Is this for us?"

The old cow's lips were trembling! As soon as he arrived at the village headquarters, he saw the dense four-wheeler here, afraid there were hundreds of them!

As a result, people now say that each car has two baskets on the car, which contain brand new pots, pans, axes, saws, sickles and other tools! There are also four sets of bedding rolled on the car!

The health worker raised his chin and said, "What else? Pull it up quickly, and you will also need rations and seeds!"

The old cow stepped forward and pulled it. This car was so light and easy!

When he was pulled to the place where he received the food, the old cow was dizzy by the food piled up in front of him: the food for four people was distributed for 100 days, and the average of each person was 1.50 pounds per day, which was 600 pounds. If he had 50 acres of rice, his family would have to take 700 pounds! And there were 500 families in this village!

Following the guidance of the health staff, he brought six bags of rice and one bag of grain into the car. The health staff pointed directly at Lao Niu: "Your family is the first household in the east end of the village, go by yourself!"

The old cow pulled the cart, and the wife and two daughters came up to help!

The family rushed to the village entrance and looked at the brand new wooden house in front of them, as if they were in a dream: they were all made of hardwood, and it was more than enough to accommodate the whole family of four! The corridor in front of the door, and the air hanging below was almost two meters!

This is something Li Bin is particularly demanding for fear of the typhoon season and flood disasters in tropical areas! Height a little higher, ignore the small floods directly, and large floods can also gain buffer time for rescue!

As for what you told Li Bin that hardwood is valuable? He said that wood has never been bought for money! There are still more than 100,000 Japanese workers cutting trees in the entire Red River Delta, and countless timber mountains have been piled up by the sea!

The whole family worked together to move all the things into the house, and the four-wheeled car parked under the house. The space was large enough, so it was just for the car and firewood!
