Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 212 The Ordinary Road ([-])

The next day, Mei Shan took his younger sister to [City Lord's Mansion-Shangshutai] to receive the land reclamation certificate and his own registration card.

The land reclamation certificate is a piece of white paper pasted on a small wooden board, while the registration card is simply a wooden board.

Every adult, male or female, will be registered as a citizen.

After his death, his registered household will be inherited by his heirs. If there is no heir, the registered household will be taken back by the royal family and distributed to new immigrants.

There is no need to worry about having too many children and not having enough fields at home.

Because the rest of the children will be transported overseas by the Wang family to continue to open up wasteland when they become adults, and will continue to be granted a [-]-acre land-opening certificate.

Of course, if you think your family's life is too good, you can also choose to keep the children at home. With the same [-] acres of land, there will be more people eating, which will lead to the rapid bankruptcy of the family .

For bankrupt families, the Wang family will not let them go to the streets to beg every day as refugees, but will forcefully transport the members of the family overseas to continue to open up wasteland.

It is said to be the City Lord's Mansion, but it is actually just a bunch of small wooden houses, apparently because Chang'e City is under construction.

Mei Shan and Mei Shan each received a land reclamation certificate and registration card.

The land reclamation certificate states his collection time and personal information, and is valid for three years (female land reclamation is extended to five years due to physical reasons). 】Receive your own land reclamation supplies.

The registration card is a symbol of him as a person. Once he loses the registration card, he may be arrested as a black household.

Meishan and Meishan together already have [-] mu of land, but they are the heads of their respective households, and they can go to the Wang family to receive land reclamation supplies.

"We're monogamous here, and lovers are legalized."

"A man can only have one wife, but he can have many lovers at the same time."

"A woman can only have one husband, but she can have many lovers at the same time"

"However, both husband and wife must obtain the consent of the other party to adopt a lover."

"Slaves are not considered human beings. They can be used as property. After purchase, they can be used as toys for themselves, but it also requires the mutual consent of both husband and wife."

Another cabin in the City Lord's Mansion is dedicated to managing marriages.

The Wang family promulgated a new law, and Chang'e City must strictly abide by the new law. The new law does not allow the existence of concubines, nor does it allow three people to marry at the same time.

How can this place still be like this?

Mei Shan was dumbfounded, feeling strange about what happened here.

With doubts on their faces, Meishan and Meishan brothers and sisters came to the [Department of Land Reclamation] to collect supplies.

The initial supplies of each pioneer are an ox, an iron plow, a hoe, an iron pick, an iron shovel, an iron axe, and many seeds.

You can take the land reclamation certificate to the [Reclamation Department] to receive two stones of corn every month, and you just don't starve to death.

The house has been built in advance by Mahan slaves, and some simple furniture inside is also prepared. If you want to make your home more refined, you have to do temporary work to earn money to buy furniture.

From the fourth year onwards, the land reclamation certificate becomes invalid, and taxes must be paid to the Wang family, regardless of whether the land reclamation is successful or not.

Those who fail to open up wasteland and go bankrupt will be regarded as bastards who prostitute the royal family's supplies for nothing. Such people will be directly reduced to slaves and become as low and pitiful as Mahan slaves.

This is why there are still a small number of Han Chinese slaves among the slaves raised by the Wang family.

Since the end of the Xinmang regime, the Wang family has been able to obtain a large number of people more easily. In order to provide food for a large number of pioneers, the Wang family has suspended wine making and food sales.

They even have to exchange textiles for the remaining food in the hands of the other three major families in turn.

Fortunately, Zhang Bu, the warlord of Qingzhou, had a huge demand for armor, and Wuhuan also had a huge demand for woolen fur coats due to its cold location.

The servants of the royal family continued to weave day and night, and the supply was still in short supply.

The order for armor has been booked until next year, and even if the craftsmen of the Wang family work overtime and night, they cannot meet this huge demand.

A large number of slaves dig in the iron mines, and then continuously transport the iron ore to the iron smelting workshop.

Ships transporting people, supplies, and raw materials are non-stop, and they must be fully loaded every time.

In the process of land reclamation, because of physical disadvantages, women will choose a male neighbor to marry and ask him to help land reclamation.

As for Meishan's wasteland, Meishan naturally helped to reclaim it.

Although they are not as strong as men in terms of physical strength, they have two more years of land reclamation than men, so in fact, their success rate of land reclamation is similar to that of men.

Each town is equipped with at least one veterinarian, one doctor, and one scholar (scholar).

They are all affiliated to the Wang family, treating local livestock and people for the Wang family, helping the Wang family to promote legal knowledge and teaching elementary school.

Naturally, there is also a fee for Mengxue, but the fee is not much. One person only needs [-] yuan a year. After all, only the most basic literacy is taught, and other content is not taught. Those who want to learn other content need to go to the school in Taohuagang at their own expense.

The tuition fees of the schools in Taohuagang are naturally expensive, and the fees vary according to the learning content.

The cheap ones only cost [-] yuan a year, while the expensive ones cost millions of dollars a year.

The school is the choice of those rich people, such as Liu Shaojun of the Taoyuan team, whose great-grandfather Liu Yu was a soldier all his life, beheading tens of thousands of Ma Han people, and undertaking projects and various bounty tasks are also countless.

The total assets of the Taoyuan team have reached 2000 million yuan, and the personal assets of the founder Liu Yu are as high as 400 million yuan.

Therefore, Liu Yu sent his brightest great-grandson to the school to study etiquette and Confucian classics in the Central Plains, so that the Liu family in Taoyuan could transform from a wealthy upstart to a scholar family.

But the vast majority of pioneers will choose to let their children become apprentices of a certain craftsman, learn a craft with the master craftsman, and live a prosperous life in the future.

After all, in the Wang family, craftsmen are treated very well.

In the silent forest, brother and sister Meishan and Meishan are working together to open up wasteland.

Mei Shan cut down the trees and loaded them into the ox cart. Mei Shan collected wild fruits in the woods. Can be used for cooking.

The brothers and sisters purposely chose two cabins that are close to each other as their homes.

However, when the brothers and sisters were opening up wasteland, they could occasionally see some hunting teams coming out of the woods. The carriages of these hunting teams carried a large number of Mahan slaves, all of which were to be transported back to Chang'e City for sale.

"Hey, you two, do you have any herbal medicine, apply it to me, hiss—" A hunter rolled up his trousers, blood was streaming from his calf, and there was a blood hole, which was the arrow of the Mahan natives .

"Brother?" Mei Shan happened to collect some herbs just now, which was originally reserved for her elder brother Mei Shan to prevent him from being hurt by wild animals in the forest, but she didn't know whether to give it, so she looked at Mei Shan beside her.

"Give it to him." Mei Shan felt that he should make more friends so that he could be a better person in the future.

The girl Mei Shan personally applied the medicine to the hunter, which moved the hunter very much.

"The kindness of dripping water is reciprocated by the spring. We are the Taoyuan team, um... Seeing that you have worked so hard to open up wasteland, I will send you a slave for your use." This hunter is another great-grandson of Liu Yu, the founder of the Taoyuan team. At the same time, he is also the new captain of the Taoyuan team. Because he doesn't like reading and has a wild temper, he inherited his ancestral business and personally led the team members into the forest to capture the Mahan people.

The new captain of the Taoyuan team ordered the dozens of team members behind him: "Let out the one who is the strongest and looks the most able to work."

"Understood!" After a while, a muscular Ma Han slave whose hands and feet were bound was taken off the carriage by members of the Taoyuan team.

"He is your property now." The captain of the Taoyuan team smiled openly at the siblings.

Unexpectedly, he did a good deed by himself, and he could prostitute a slave for nothing. Mei Shan was very happy, and thanked the captain: "Thank you, young master, can you stay and have a meal conveniently, so that we can repay you well?"

"You don't need to eat." Captain Taoyuan waved his hand. With his status, he didn't have to eat food. Before leaving, he didn't forget to remind: "This place is very close to the Mahan people's tribe. Be careful of the people in the forest." The Mahan people rushed out to attack."
