Chapter 1823

In Chengbei District of Lixian County, there was a simple but also a building community built of green bricks and red tiles. When one figure after another lined up with laughter to register their names, several figures such as Liu Ye and Zhang Han collapsed again and pointed to the crowd to drink and scold.

"You can't do this! Li Er and Wang Hui, you can't be so shameless. When you were living in the streets and were about to starve to death, if master Xiao hadn't pitied you and rewarded you with a meal, would you live to this day?"

"Shameless, you were born in the state of Lu and died as a ghost of the Xiao family. Now you betray the master. What about your conscience? The dogs ate you?"

……

When the chief officer Liu drank and scolded, he also named the Taoist surname and criticized the two young people in the queue.

The place here is the place where Li county receives and resettled the people who fled from Ren country.

Thanks to the prosperity of the state of Qi, or the sparse population, as a coastal port city, the courtyards built away from the county for the refugees of any country are much better than the shantytowns for the victims of the Shang and Tang Emperors.

Shanty towns in the capital of Shang and Tang Dynasties are all wooden shacks. Here are houses built of green bricks and red tiles, and the houses inside are also brick houses.

Over the past few days, more than 200 young people of Lu live in more than a dozen small courtyards, and about 20 people live in one courtyard. Even if it is crowded, the environment is much higher than the shack.

There are free meals provided by the county government, but those free foods can only make you half full. If you want to eat more, you can apply to work and make money. This is the port city, the county, and that is also the port. The merchant ships and caravans come and go here to rest, or there are fleets to go fishing. If you can go to the sea, you can help catch fish and repair ships, You can't carry goods on the wharf when you go to the sea. As long as you are willing to do things, you can always eat enough and eat well.

Qi has a vast territory and abundant resources, and its unique geographical location is comparable to that of more than a dozen Shandong provinces. More than 90% of the plains are three crops a year, with a population of more than 7 million. It can be imagined how abundant the grain reserves here are.

In the past three days, more than 200 servants and servants of the Xiao family, from more than 100 people willing to vote, to more than 220 now, because the Yamen servants of the county yamen have explained all kinds of situations long ago.

As long as you register and settle down, one person can directly issue 10 mu of good farmland. These good farmland are tax-free for the first three years. If you are willing to reclaim land, the upper limit for a single person is 50 mu. New reclaimed land is also tax-free for the first three years.

Such conditions are too exciting for the Xiao sailors.

There are ten mu of good farmland registered and settled. It is still three crops a year. There is basically no need to take care of the grain seeds. One crop per mu of farmland can receive two stones of grain, which is almost equal to 200 kg, and 600 kg of grain a year.

Six hundred jin per mu, how much is ten mu? Even if the food price of Qi is low, with such good farmland and such a superior environment, you are definitely a pediatrician if you eat enough alone.

Getting married and starting a business is that simple here.

Simply, as long as you marry your daughter-in-law and have children, children can receive free compulsory education!

Various conditions are too attractive to sailors.

Up to now, there are only a dozen people left, such as master Liu, who still want to go back to the state of Lu and the Xiao family. For Master Liu, he is already the first mate of an armed merchant ship with a displacement of 600-700 tons, second only to the captain. He is definitely a middle and high-level. Once he doesn't run to the sea, there are 35 wives and concubines, 78 children and more than 10 slaves in his family.

They certainly don't want to stay here and start over.

As for Mr. Liu and others, why did they resist and even scold the sailors at the bottom of the grass-roots level for defecting to the state of Qi? You want to go back to Lu from the state of Qi, nearly ten thousand miles away... Even if you can go back to Lu with work instead of salary, don't you need them to work by themselves when only some middle and upper class people go back? Do it yourself to earn some travel expenses?

If we can bring back more sailors at the bottom, there will be servants to serve them.

If this is still a recent advantage, will they be punished when they go back... If the Xiao family knows that only a dozen of more than 200 people go back? More than 200 people have come back from the dead. Will master Xiao and other gentry in the state of Lu be excited to study the secrets?

If you bring back more than 200 grass-roots sailors, the old man needs to study, or you can start with the grass-roots sailors. They can watch, but those guys don't go back. Don't the Xiao family and other gentry fall directly on them?

There are a lot of people, such as Liu Ye and Zhang Han, who are eager to bring back more grass-roots sailors. However, up to now, many young and middle-aged people rarely pay attention to them.

Most young adults are waiting for registration and chatting enthusiastically. Will they farm together or rent out the land per mu and continue to run to the sea to make money?

Farming in the state of Qi is easy to eat and will never be hungry, but you earn less money. You still earn more money by running a business.

If you go to the sea again, it is a simple employment system. Here in the state of Qi, merchant ships recruit sailors and fishermen recruit sailors. They are all employment systems. You can give as much silver as you run once or as much as you run for a year. When the time is up, you can continue if you want to continue. You can go home if you don't want to run.

Absolute freedom is far from the state of Lu. If the owner asks you to continue, you have to continue the harsh system.

Just like Luo Hai, a 28 year old youth doesn't want to run for a long time, but the owner won't let you, so you must continue.

In the excited discussion of a large number of young people, Li Er and Wang Hui, who were named by Master Liu, looked at each other, and the sailor named Li Er scolded on the spot, "Liu, in the past, we had to succumb to your Yin power. Now in the state of Qi, we can have our own dignity. Do you really think I'm a fool?"

"Before I was 16 years old, my family of five, Li Er, couldn't live a good life, but I could make do with it. But once a pirate attacked me, my family broke down and my parents, brothers and sisters died. Do you really think that after so many years, I don't know where those pirates came from? Even if they were not assigned by the Xiao family, they were assigned by other families like the Xiao family."

"Bah, I'm starving in the street, so I'm willing to give me a bite to eat? If it weren't for those shit masters, how many orphans and widows would there be in our Lijia village."

Wang Hui also followed him by drinking and scolding. In the past, when teenagers were ignorant, they didn't know so many things. They ran the boat with the Xiao family for so long. They heard about all kinds of dirty things, even if they didn't have personal experience.

Fishing villages and towns along the coast are harassed by pirates once, and many more victims and refugees come out. Then, in order to survive, they have to sell themselves to big families and giants as slaves, and then be trained by each other to work for a lifetime

This is the same as that in the inland areas of the great empire, when the disaster year comes, the common people are annexed by the land, selling children and women, or when there is no disaster year, bandits loot villages and towns, make you bankrupt, and let you sell children and women.

Qi and Lu are both Chinese and Miao descendants. Up to now, who doesn't want to get out of the sea of suffering and meet a new life?
