"The government will give land to anyone who goes to Jilin Province. Do you know how much it will give?"

Pan Xiaona stretched out three fingers.

"Three hundred acres, three hundred acres for each person. Other than that, no matter how much is reclaimed, it belongs to his name."

The scene was quiet for a while, except for Zhizhi's cries that disturbed the villagers' minds.

It's not that they don't want to talk, but that they have all fallen into chaos.

Is it...

Misheard?
Or was the young magistrate hysterical?
The villagers looked at me and I looked at you, and they all saw two words in each other's eyes.

Do not believe!

I can't believe it!

Three hundred acres of land, what is that concept?
There are thousands of people in their entire village, and the total land is only [-] mu of land.

To divide three hundred acres of land by one person is something I dare not even dream about.

There was no response, which made Pan Xiaona blush.

"Why don't you believe it? It's all true. I'll use the head of the head as a guarantee. As long as the person passes by, the land will be allocated immediately."

A man pouted.

"Would the government be so kind? Give us so much land? Why don't those landlords and non-officials go?"

Only then did Pan Xiaona understand.

It turned out that the number was too large, which frightened these simple people.

"You don't know that the purpose of immigrating to Jilin Province this time is to solve the problem of lack of arable land and food for the big guys. Those landlords and non-members are all living a good life. Who wants to go? But you are different. I’m going to starve to death, so I’ll plant it for you, shall I plant it?”

The words were rough and reasonable, but made the villagers a little suspicious.

"The government really allocated so much land?"

Pan Xiaona simply took out the map and drew a circle within Jilin Province.

"Take a good look, how big is this place? It's more than five times bigger than our Lianghuai Province. But such a big place, there is no one everywhere, and it's all wasteland. Let alone three hundred acres for each of you, it's three thousand You can't even divide the mu."

Someone became greedy again.

"Then give us three thousand acres, we don't think it's too much."

Pan Xiaona laughed angrily.

"Each of you will be given [-] acres and you won't be able to grow it. What's the difference between [-] acres and no share?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help nodding.

They are all good hands in the crop field, and everyone knows how much land a person can plant.

In fact, even if it is [-] mu of land, one person can't grow it through exhaustion.

Thinking of owning so much land soon, many people's minds became alive.

But looking at the map again, he couldn't help hesitating.

"How can we go to such a far place?"

The Xia government has clearly made a perfect plan.

"Go by boat. The government has already prepared everything. You will be provided with food, supplies, and clothing along the way. You won't be hungry without spending a penny."

A knowledgeable villager raised another worrying question.

"There are Tartars in that place, right? I heard that Tartars kill people without blinking an eye, so they won't kill us all?"

Pan Xiaona laughed loudly, and marked the Manchu sphere of influence on the map.

"Look, the territory of the Tartars is here. It is thousands of miles away from our Jilin Province, and it is impossible to get through. Besides, there are [-] troops stationed in Jilin Province. Even if the Tartars come to fight, they will not be our opponents." .”

Ordinary villagers obviously had no news, and his words did not reassure everyone.

"The Tartars are so powerful, can the officers and soldiers beat them?"

Pan Xiaona has been honed at the grassroots level for a long time, and she has already mastered enough patience.

"You don't know yet, do you? In the first half of this year, our army fought several battles with the Tartars in North Korea, and we won all of them. The Tartars are not our opponents at all."

The villagers came together curiously and found North Korea's location, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.

How powerful the Manchu Qing Dynasty was, in fact, they had no idea, they just heard people talking about it.

As for whether Xia Jun is better than Man Qing, they don't care.

Anyway, they are all people who are going to starve to death, how to survive is what they are most concerned about.

Shi Sandang is a person who has come from the old society, and he never trusts the government so much.

"The government has allocated so much land to us. If we can't grow it, what will the government say?"

Pan Xiaona explained the policy to everyone in detail.

"The reason why the government allocated so much land to the big guys is because there is too much wasteland there, and people need to reclaim it. As for how much they can plant, the big guys do their best, and the government does not force it. By the way, there are seeds, farm tools and more. The government will prepare livestock for everyone. With livestock, can we grow a lot of land, right?"

The villagers could no longer sit still.

Each person can be divided into three hundred acres of land, which is already very attractive.The government also provides seeds, farm tools and livestock, which is even more unthinkable.

"If I have livestock, I can plant [-] acres by myself."

Pan Xiaona is not an official who doesn't distinguish between grains, so he knows that the man is bragging.

Even if he was given five cows, he would not be able to plant [-] acres by himself.

Not to mention, just watering him can exhaust him to death.

But after finally raising the big guy's spirit, it is naturally impossible to extinguish it at this time.

"Brother looks like a good farmer at first glance. When we get there, we will work hard. We also want to earn a family fortune for our grandchildren, don't we?"

As soon as this was said, the villagers liked to hear it too much.

Many people began to secretly wonder if they really wanted to move there?

"I heard that it will be colder if you go north, and I'm afraid someone will freeze to death in Jilin Province."

It is impossible for ordinary people to be too careful about such a major event as immigration.Any problems were taken into consideration by them.

In their eyes, Pan Xiaona, the county magistrate, was very stable.

"It is cold and freezing for most of the year over there, and it will not bloom until April, and the land can be planted. Before the frost, it must be harvested in the warehouse. Although it can only be harvested once a year, because of the land It is fertile, and the output is much higher than ours. Moreover, a person with [-] acres of land can’t eat all the food produced. You can sell the excess to the government for some money and other things. No matter what Forget it, it’s better than staying here and fighting hard!”

I said it over and over again, and said it carefully, and I have said it very thoroughly.

The villagers already know all about the benefits of immigration.But they did not express their position immediately, on the contrary, they hesitated one by one.

Regarding their performance, Pan Xiaona knows everything.

It's not that these villagers don't know the benefits of immigrating to Jilin Province, but they are worried about...

Is the government lying?

After all, the reputation of the Ming government over the years can be said to be completely bankrupt.

Although Xia Guo established the regime, various policies and officials from all walks of life have been very friendly to the people.However, once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, the hearts of the common people have not yet been able to completely move closer to the new regime.

At this time, there is only one way.

"To be on the safe side, a few of your families can go there. People who settled there are not forbidden to come back. Whoever misses their hometown will come back and have a look. Living like a person can make the ancestors happy, right?"

As soon as these words came out, the last doubts of the villagers disappeared.
