Chapter 543 Immigration Disturbance
The big camp is in chaos, countless people are packing their things, and the anger is spreading in the big camp. The news came out at noon that their group of immigrants did not go to Ryukyu Mansion at all, but to Luzon Island, Luzon Island. where is songThe common people didn't know anything about it, they only felt that it was a very far away place, and with the addition of some regretful commoners fanning the flames, dissatisfaction quickly spread in the camp.

But there are also quite a few people who want to immigrate. They are mainly from Suide County and Mizhi County in Yan'an Prefecture. Their hometown has experienced eight droughts in ten years, and this year's spring drought is particularly severe. They have to pay rent at the end of the year. If they go down, either the whole family will become refugees, or they will immigrate overseas.

They are not the first batch of Yan'an Prefecture immigrants. The first batch of Yan'an Prefecture immigrants went to Kunzhou ten years ago. It is said that they live a very good life. Every household is full of grain and full of cabinets. There is no tax or labor. It is simply a life in Heaven. .

So when the recruitment of immigrants started again, these [-] households from Yan'an Mansion signed up first, eagerly waiting for the good days to come.

These people don't care where they go, they care more about how much land they can share, how big a house they live in, and how much food they can subsidize every month before the harvest.

The troublemakers are mainly the frontier people on Hebei Road, most of whom are from Zhendingfu and Dingzhou. If it was in the past, they would still be worried about the threat of war. Now that the Song and Liao truces have lasted for decades, the war has long since left them. Coupled with natural conditions It's much better than Shanxi Road. Even tenants can support themselves as long as they work a little harder.

This group of people is mainly yearning for a better life, and they have a strong sense of locality. Even if they immigrate overseas, many people consider letting their children come back, so they don't want to go far. Ryukyu Mansion is the farthest distance they can accept. If the government hadn't fooled them, they could come to Quanzhou to watch lanterns during the Lantern Festival, otherwise they really didn't want to leave their hometown.

There are more than 600 households in this group of people. When they arrived in Yangzhou, many people regretted it and didn’t want to go south again. The government persuaded them to come to Quanzhou with all kinds of words. Now they heard that they were going to Luzon Mansion, which is farther away, and they immediately exploded. , Life and death refused to go again, packed up their bags and prepared to return to their hometown.

At this time, Fan Ning came to the camp, and he immediately ordered the soldiers to gather the people together, and he had something to say.

In fact, there is no need for soldiers, whether they are depressed or angry, everyone is eager to get accurate information. When they heard that the highest official wanted to give them a clear explanation, the people came from all directions, and soon Surround the high platform tightly.

Fan Ning shouted to everyone with a wooden horn: "There are three places for everyone to choose from. One is Xiaoliuqiu Island, which is a three-day flight from Quanzhou. There is already Liuli County there, and some people need to be replenished. Give Ueda two hectares, tax-free within 50 years, a Ryukyu mansion, a two-day flight from Quanzhou, the county has not yet been built, give Ueda two hectares, tax-free within 50 years; another one is Luzon Mansion, in the southwest of Quanzhou, a five-day voyage, There is a ready-made house, three hectares of land for Shangtian, tax exemption for 50 years, the three local governments will not force you, you can choose by yourself."

The people heard that it was their own choice not to force it, and their anxiety finally calmed down.

At this time, someone asked loudly: "What if you don't want to go and want to go home?"

Fan Ning calmly replied: "If you really don't want to go overseas, we will not force you. You can stay in Quanzhou as a tenant farmer, or we can send you to Yangzhou, and you can find a way to return home."

The dark crowd suddenly fell silent, and Fan Ning said again: "The whole family will discuss it together, register early tomorrow morning, and leave the day after tomorrow!"

Everyone dispersed one after another, and Fan Ning did not leave either. He and Su Liang patrolled around.

"It seems that you have to give in!" Su Liang smiled slightly.

Fan Ning shook his head, "I'm not giving in. I originally meant it well. The Ryukyu Mansion has to start from scratch, which will be very difficult. However, the Luzon Mansion has the foundation laid by the Luzon State, so it's much easier to start. Since they I don’t appreciate it, and I can’t help it.”

"That's because you didn't make it clear to everyone, okay? Just tell them how much land to give and let them choose?"

Fan Ning patted Su Liang on the shoulder with a smile, "I will leave this task to you, you can arrange it and explain this matter clearly to everyone."

"This is your business, okay? I only help out because I'm afraid they will cause trouble. You have so many officials in the Jinglue Mansion, just call the elders of the counties to talk about it. Why do you want to push it on me?"

"It's hard work for those who can! If you don't perform well in front of me, how will I promote you in the future?"

Su Liang lost his confidence, he was a sixth-rank official, and Fan Ning was already a third-rank official, so he really had no room for bargaining.

Seeing his bitter expression, Fan Ning smiled and said, "I'll send [-] officials to help you, and then you will arrange the deployment in a unified way. I have other things to consider, so I don't care about this matter."

Su Liang had no choice but to nod his head.

At this time, Fan Ning saw that there were many people in the big tent next to him, so he walked in.

Inside was a big family discussing, they recognized Fan Ning, they were so frightened that they quickly moved away, the old man stepped forward to kowtow to Fan Ning, "Mr.

"Master Mai is from Yan'an Prefecture?" Fan Ning recognized his accent.

The old man nodded, "We are from Suide County, with three sons, two daughters-in-law, my wife, three grandsons and a granddaughter."

"You are not separated?"

"It's separated. My wife and I live together with our youngest son. Dalang and Erlang are independent. This time I will bring everyone together, as well as my two brothers and my sister's family. It is a big family with about [-] people. .”

Fan Ning asked the old man to sit down, and then waved his hands for everyone to sit down. He asked with a smile, "Why do you think of going overseas to make a living?"

The old man sighed and said, "I have a family nephew who joined the army and was stationed in Kunzhou. He stayed in Kunzhou later, married a Japanese woman, and gave birth to two sons. He later wrote a letter to his father, that is, My younger brother and his family have all gone to Kunzhou. I received a letter from him last year, and I know that they are doing well in Kunzhou. They are tired of eating big fish and meat every day. It is rare for our family to see meat stars all year round. , so I am very envious, and today we encountered a spring drought, and the land we rented had to reduce production by at least half, and it was not enough to pay the rent. It happened that the government was recruiting people to go to the Ryukyu Mansion, so I signed up without hesitation."

Fan Ning nodded and asked again: "There are three places to choose from, so where do you want to go?"

"Mai Danian's eldest son asked: "What is Liuli County like? "

"Liuli County is an island, a bit larger than Kaifeng Mansion. There are currently [-] households there, and it is planned to increase to [-] households. The scenery is very beautiful. It will be a very quiet and comfortable place in the future. The only fly in the ointment is that Some daily necessities have to be imported from the Song Dynasty, such as porcelain, tea, ironware and so on.”

The old man asked: "Our family has two opinions. My wife and I want to go to Ryukyu Mansion. I always feel that Ryukyu Mansion is closer to Quanzhou, but my three sons want to go to Luzon Island. They are struggling because they will be given an extra hectare of land. "

Fan Ning smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I also advise you to go to Luzon Island. Luzon Island is just south of Ryukyu Island. In fact, it is not far from Quanzhou. What's more, there used to be a Luzon Kingdom there, and the whole country has been moved. , leaving a flat land with a radius of dozens of miles, the house has been built, and you can live there, but you have to participate in logging and building houses in the Ryukyu Mansion, and you will not be able to settle down until at least next year."

"Then is there anything bad about Luzon Mansion?"

"Luzon is relatively hot. There is no winter all year round, so you don't need to wear cotton clothes. But it also has the advantage of planting three rice crops a year. Each mu of land must produce at least ten stones of rice a year."

Dalang and Erlang glanced at each other. The family had three hectares of land and harvested three thousand shi of rice a year. They were stunned. For farmers, they only cared about whether they could fill their stomachs with snacks. Don't think about it, isn't it hot?You can also save money on making winter clothes and buying charcoal.

"Master, is it true that one family gives three hectares of land?"

Fan Ning said with a smile: "There is a condition for each household to give three hectares of land, that is, it cannot be left uncultivated. If there are only two old couples in your family and you cannot plant three hectares of land, then you can give the land to your son or rent it out, but you are not allowed to sell it. If there is no other way, then I will give you one hectare of land, and then add some grain and rice every month. If Dalang is very good at farming, and he can plant five hectares of land by himself, that is great. I will give you two more hectares of official land, and I don’t want yours. If you rent a son, all the harvest belongs to you, but these two hectares belong to the government and cannot be inherited by your son, do you understand?"

Mai Danian discussed with his sons, and said to Fan Ning, "We have decided, let's go to Luzon Mansion!"
