Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 76

After that day, Han Yike's focus of work shifted from the embankment to immigration affairs.

His reason is also very good, to complete the resettlement as soon as possible, so as to catch up with this year's spring plowing.

Because resettlement work is the top priority of local officials in the two Huaihe Rivers, and even the entire north.

Counting from Jianyan's crossing to the south, the entire north has been ruled by foreign races for more than 200 years.Especially during the 90-[-] years of Yuan Dynasty rule, the Mongolian nobles raced to enclose land in the East China North China Plain, turning a large amount of fertile land into their pastures for raising horses, leaving the Han people without a place to stand.

The Han people had no choice but to rebel or flee. After a hundred years, there were no rooster crowing for thousands of miles in the north, barren grass and fields, and many villages were cut off from the population and completely disappeared on the territory of the imperial court.The Han people in the north have dropped by 90.00%...and it is compared with the data of the Jin Dynasty.

The Lianghuai area was also the main battlefield of the peasant uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. The Yuan army and the landlord armed forces took control of the peasant army, mostly "pulling out their land and slaughtering their cities". Human smoke'...

In Yangzhou City, the first city in Jianghuai, only eighteen families were killed at that time.

In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the prince to inspect Jiangbei. Zhu Biao witnessed this tragic situation in the world, and cried all the way, heartbroken and unable to hold on.

Zhu Yuanzhang had to recall the prince in advance, otherwise Zhu Biao could cry to death on the road...

Therefore, restoring the northern population as soon as possible has become the top priority for Zhu Yuanzhang.

Fortunately, Boss Zhu was a founding emperor with great courage. Under tremendous pressure, he forcibly moved a large number of people from the densely populated Jiangnan of Shanxi to Shandong, Henan, Hebei, and the Lianghuai area.

Hongwu immigration became a basic national policy of Ming Dynasty, which lasted for half a century...

~~
As the central capital, Fengyang mainly received immigrants from the south of the Yangtze River, and a large number of family members of prisoners were relocated here to farm.

So Zhu Yuanzhang arranged for his five sons to study agriculture in Fengyang, which would not attract attention at all.

On the contrary, if in a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River, suddenly there are five more big men, I am afraid that an official will come to the door immediately.

According to the rules, all immigrants must first go to the county government to register and settle down, and then, as Boss Zhu promised, they will be given seeds, farm tools, cattle, housing, and half-year rations for the whole family.

In addition, the migrants will be given travel expenses and cotton clothes on the way.Moreover, Boss Zhu promised that the immigrants will be exempted from tax for three years; after three years, they will only pay one bucket of tax per mu, and no other taxes will be imposed.

Compared with previous dynasties, this is already the best condition for immigrants.But no matter how good the conditions are, most ordinary people are unwilling to move their homes. They have to be forced by the government and escorted by officers and soldiers to change places for them.

Therefore, there is a schedule for immigrants to arrive in Linhuai County, and they do not come in groups of three or four on their own.

This greatly reduced the difficulty of waiting for the rabbit in Hanzhi County, so that he would not sit at the reception all day and dare not even leave the last hut.

In fact, it didn't take long. On the fifth day of February, a new batch of immigrants arrived.

According to the rules, they had to stand still on the large flat in front of the county government office, and wait for the officials to speak to them.Then line up to enter the county government office to receive the seed cattle, farm tools and rations distributed to them.

At that time, the clerk of Hufang Wang preached the emperor's imperial decree and the rules of the county hoarsely on the steps.Han Zhixian stood in the shadow of the doorway and carefully looked at the new immigrants.

Then he saw the target he was looking for at a glance—the three burly young men stood out from the crowd of immigrants, and it was hard not to notice them.

"Oh, it's really..." Zhixian Han couldn't help but let out a low cry.He met several His Highnesses at the Great Court Meeting.

Moreover, the characteristics of the several highnesses are too obvious. Apart from being tall, King Qin has a generous face, King Jin has a fair face, and King Yan has a dark round face.

He might not be sure if he picked up one alone, but if the three were put together, they would definitely not run away.

Only now did he completely believe in the words of peace.

"Xianzun, what's the matter, do you know someone?" Li Sili, who was following beside him, hurriedly asked after hearing the words.

"Uh, yes." Zhixian Han pointed to King Qin and said, "Those big guys seem to be the sons of my... old boss."

He is also an employee of Boss Zhu, so it is not wrong to say that the old boss.

This is an excuse he made up earlier, otherwise it would be very strange for a dignified Bailihou to care about a few immigrants all day long.

At this time, officials committed crimes, and all those who were punished with flogging or above were demoted to Fengyang to farm, countless.So Li Bantou naturally believed the pretext of Han Zhixian.

"Shall we call them back later?" Li Sili said courteously.

"No need." Zhixian Han shook his head, showing a worried and slanderous look, letting him experience it for himself.

"Understood." Li Sili immediately realized that the county magistrate didn't want to get involved with the criminal boss.What's more, I heard that the magistrate himself was also demoted...

"You can take care of them for me." Zhixian Han ordered in a low voice: "Go, let your people share a few acres of cultivated land with them. It doesn't need too much, and it won't look good if there is too much."

"The county lord is really too cautious." Li Sili smiled apologetically, "Who dares to fart even if you give an extra few dozen acres?"

"Don't break the rules." Han Yike shook his head, assuming that he couldn't abandon the public for personal reasons.

In fact, he was worried that if he gave too much land to his highnesses, they would not be able to grow it if they were exhausted. Wouldn't it be self-defeating?

After thinking about it, he seemed to feel that he was too mean to the old man, so he whispered again: "Let's give them more food."

"Hey, okay." Li Sili responded and rushed away excitedly.

For him, it is definitely a good thing to share secrets with the county magistrate by chance.

~~
Back to the poor five brothers of the Tian family.

On the day when Zhu Yuanzhang issued the edict of "ordering the five sons to study in Houhu behind closed doors for a year", the five His Royal Highnesses were sent to Houhu by boat.

The back lake is Xuanwu Lake. There are five man-made islands in the center of the lake, known as "Wuzhou", which are the best scenery of Jinling City.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang built a city wall from Taiping Gate to the Imperial City, completely enclosing Houhu.

In the sixth year of Hongwu, in order to prevent people from looking down on the lake, he raised the city wall again, completely turning this picturesque royal garden into a military restricted area.

People have been speculating about what Boss Zhu is going to use Xuanwu Lake for. Now that they see this edict, they think they understand—oh, it turns out that it is a place where the royal family is banned.

In fact, it is not, but Zhu Yuanzhang will not explain it, but he is happy that they misunderstood.

The brothers lived half the night on Huxinzhou.At midnight on the second day, a boat picked them up and sailed into the moat under the cover of night.

At dawn, they found themselves on the Yangtze River.
