Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 219, Chapter 217

April.

"It's here, Brother Niu."

The caravan traveled all the way east, and it took half a month to reach the edge of a big river.

On the big river at the moment, several merchant ships are docking there.

The Yellow River runs through east and west, with countless tributaries, and this river is the big river that flows to Bohai County.

If it weren't for the checkpoints on the water, Hei Niu and his family could leave by boat early, instead of having to wait for a serious merchant ship like now.

Of course, the purpose of the merchant ship coming here is not just to wait for the Hei Niu family. They have received a letter from Liaodi and are exploring a safe waterway.

"Niu, where are you taking us?"

Compared to Niu's father who had been prepared for a long time, the second uncle Hei Niu seemed very uneasy.

It's been more than half a month, why are you still walking? It's a car and a boat. This makes Uncle Hei Niu, who has never been out of Sanshi Village in his life, very uncomfortable.

Hei Niu smiled softly, and instead of answering first, he called everyone to board the boat.

After the boat started to move, he said to his second uncle.

"Second Uncle, I want to take you to a place where you can have enough food just by farming. Don't worry, Second Uncle, my nephew will not harm you."

"You can eat enough by farming, so how many fields do you have to plant, Hei Niu, the second uncle is getting old, but he can't do much work."

"Don't worry, Second Uncle, you won't be too tired."

Hei Niu smelled the wind blowing when the ship was sailing, and his face was full of relief.

Looking at outsiders is far less shocking than looking at his own family members. What his family members suffered made him extremely angry, but now, on board a merchant ship, he finally let go of his heart.

The speed of the waterway is several times faster than that of the land way.

The merchant ship went all the way to the northeast, passed through several checkpoints, and finally fished into the sea and traveled around the world.

In the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea, merchant ships sail with full sails and sail at a faster speed than in rivers.

Daijun, Shanggu, Yuyang, Youbeiping, the places they pass through are numerous, but the goal of the merchant ship is clear, all the way to the east.

Pass through the west of Liaoning, enter into the east of Liaohe, enter from the mouth of Liaohe Bay, and go upstream.

As we went deeper into Liaodong, the climate became colder and colder. Occasionally, ice floes swam down, but they were simply smashed away by sailors who had been prepared for a long time.

"It's so cold here."

After staying in the cabin for a long time, Hei Niu's family members all came out to let the wind go.

Wrapped in fur coats, but these people who are used to the inland climate are still a bit unbearable.

"Hahaha, after staying for a long time, I get used to it. It's cold in March and April. In May, it's not so cold anymore. It's no different from Dongjun."

The closer he is to his territory, the more energetic Hei Niu will be.

Making up his mind to take his family away this time is the most correct thing he thinks he has done in his life.

"Grandfather and mother, what a big boat, look!"

Gou'er, the son of Brother Hei Niu, pointed to the river, and saw hundreds of three-masted sailing ships heading towards the mouth of the sea in an orderly manner.

On the leading boat, a young man wearing a cloak also looked at this side.

"Master Hu Qi?"

Hei Niu was taken aback for a moment, he recognized the man on the first boat, and after that, there were hundreds of people on each three-masted sailing boat.

And the sailboats behind are mostly horses, cattle and sheep.

"Where is this going?"

Question marks appeared in Hei Niu's mind.

It's people, it's cattle, sheep and horses, and it's still by boat.

The black cow couldn't figure it out, and the dog kept cheering for the big boat.

Indeed, compared to a merchant ship, a three-masted sailing ship was twice the size and much taller, giving people the feeling of a father looking at his son.

The two fleets passed by handover.

Soon, the river was empty again.

Not long after, the merchant ship also sailed to Wuhuan Wharf.

With their feet on the flat ground, the hearts of the family who have been digging food in the ground all day can be regarded as completely let go.

"Hey, we're at the place now."

After getting off the boat, Hei Niu's mother kept holding Hei Niu's hand. The little old lady who was looming in the house all day had never seen such a scene.

The spacious road is straight, and the green plants planted on both sides are dry, but they are tall and straight. The vehicles carrying supplies are constantly passing by, giving people an incomprehensible but powerful look.

"Aniang, let's go back to the city first. My son has a small yard in the city. Although it's not big, it's enough for us to live in for the time being. After we rest for a long time, my son will take you to register in the afternoon."

"Hey, I listen to you."

Regarding Hei Niu's arrangement, no one had any objection. Hei Niu was the only relative who was unfamiliar with the place where he lived, so he became the backbone of everyone.

After renting two carriages, Hei Niu asked the drivers to set off for Wuhuan City. With the carriages, they arrived in Wuhuan City soon.

He called everyone to get off the car, his parents, elder brothers, sisters-in-law and nephews, second uncle and second aunt, cousin and sister-in-law, and the daughter-in-law and son of the cousin who was dragged away to the army.

"Excuse me, this is the fare."

The acquaintance gave two coins, and Hei Niu took his aunt and grandpa to greet everyone and entered Wuhuan City.

The militia guarding the city only checked Hei Niu's token before letting him go, and the people behind him probably knew what was going on.

"Son, don't you need to pay money to enter the city? I heard from people in the village who have entered the city that they have to pay money to enter the city."

Hei Niu's second uncle asked cautiously.

This group of farmers and women who had never been out of Sanshi Village had never seen such a huge and clean city before, and they were very restrained when they entered, for fear that they might go wrong somewhere.

"No need, second uncle, we don't have any harsh taxes here, only business tax, land tax, poll tax, that's why I want to bring you here so much."

Hei Niu was beaming, and only after returning to Wuhuan did he feel like he had really returned home. The home in the Han Dynasty was really like hell.

From the information I have collected, I have seen that there are refugees every year in the Han Dynasty, every year!

At the beginning, he didn't feel anything wrong, until he was sent to Dongjun this time, and he went home during the rest, and then he clearly noticed the difference between Junshang's place and Han Dynasty's place.

"There really are no other taxes?"

A group of people couldn't believe their ears at all.

Hei Niu nodded earnestly: "Really, and there are farm tools and livestock to open up wasteland here. There is no need to pay taxes on the wasteland opened up for the first two years, and the amount of food grown is all by yourself. The land tax will be halved in the next two years. Even in the future, the land tax will only be one out of ten."

"And it's not just farming. Wuhuan and Xianbei are short of people to work everywhere. If you don't want to farm, you can save hundreds of dollars a year just by working, which is enough for a family to live in."

As he walked, Hei Niu introduced every detail of Wuhuan City. He had witnessed the rise of this city with his own eyes, and he had deep feelings for it.

"I, I'd better farm, and I won't do anything else."

Second Uncle Hei Niu hesitated, he has been a farmer all his life, and he only knows how to farm.
