The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 260 With the Yellow River in front of you, Wazhou will revive sooner or later
Starting from Liangzhou, cross Wuling and follow the canyon road out of Longkou to Wazhouchuan.

Han Shibao took his family and followed other rented people for ten days before arriving at the destination of their trip, Wazhou City.

The Han family and the young family were living a good life in Liangzhou, but they didn't want to cause trouble. General Guining's Mansion smoothly leased them to the Yungu Army.He also said that this was to repay the kindness of the Yungu Army for sending troops to repel Beixiang years ago. They all sent troops and the Guining Army borrowed some people to pay off their debts.

The generals in front of them are decisive in killing, but in the end it is the people who suffer.Just like the Han family, this time the entire family was sent to Wazhou. Dozens of members of the entire family were among the renters, and none of the dozen or so members of Han Shibao's family were left behind.The most embarrassing thing is that when the family came over, all their fields and houses in Liangzhou were taken away by the Guining Army, and they were euphemistically called escrow. They would be returned after they completed the lease contract and returned to Liangzhou.

The lease expires in five years. Who knows what the world will be like?Whether I can come back or not is a matter of two minds.

"Brother, don't be sad. Look, Wazhou City is ahead. I heard that Mr. Song Yungu loves the people like his own children. After we arrive in Wazhou, our life may not be worse than when we were in Liangzhou." The second eldest son of the Han family ran to the eldest brother Han Shibao with a basket on his back. , give him some soothing words.

"Yungu, I love the people like my own son, what does it have to do with customers like us? Can the fields and houses we open here and the houses we buy here be taken back to Liangzhou? If he really cares about us, he shouldn't do anything The leasing policy caused us to leave our hometown and abandon our family fortune. There is no good leader." Because of abandoning his family and career, Han Shibao had a grudge against the top brass of Guining Army and Yungu Army. He stood up and couldn't help but complain.

"Brother, what kind of big property does our family have? It's only about twenty acres of land and a few mud houses. Look how distressed you are. I heard that you can make a living under the rule of Mr. Yungu and earn money to buy property. It's very easy." The second eldest son of the Han family is much more optimistic than Han Shibao. He has long been tired of the life of farming and collecting food under the rule of the Guining Army. This time he had the opportunity to come to Wazhou, and he was thinking about other opportunities. What a life changer.

When the team arrived at the foot of Wazhou City, it was already dark, and Han Shibao and others were worried about where to stay at night.A few officials came out of the city and read the roster handed over by the escort.Taking the roster, they called their names first, and then led them to the temporary canteen set up in the city to eat.

What made Han Shibao more gratified was that the meal that night was actually dry rice. No matter men, women, old or young, they could get two big bowls of rice.When it was time to cook, Han Shibao regretted that he should have brought a big bowl to cook, but the bowl was too small and the rice was too little.

After dinner, the police took them to a temporary guest house and said they would be formally resettled the next day.

The accommodation conditions were not very good, just big bunks made of wood with hay spread on top to keep warm. But at least there was a room, a bed and a stove. The conditions were much better than those along the Wazhou route.

Early the next morning, people were sent over. They took everyone to have a porridge breakfast, and then began to announce the resettlement measures.

"Let's think about it together, brothers. Which one do you think is better?" After the police announced the resettlement measures, Han Shibao quickly called all the brothers at home to discuss how to choose.The Yungu Army provided two resettlement plans to the Hexi leaseholders.The first option is a pure employment system. Strong laborers are paid three silver dollars each, plus sixty kilograms of rice. As long as they can work, the old, weak, women and children will be hired, and wages will be paid according to the labor situation.

The second plan is to open their own fields. This year, the city government will distribute seeds and agricultural tools to the people who open the fields, and they will also receive monthly grain subsidies. They will also be exempted from any taxes in the first year.Starting next year, people who open their own fields will only have to pay the corresponding agricultural taxes, and all other income will belong to themselves.The most important thing is that the Wazhou County Government will give the land deed to the land. After the lease period expires, the people can choose to keep their families to farm the land, or they can choose to sell the land to the Wazhou County Government at the price.

"Brother, didn't you say that when we return to Liangzhou, we won't be able to take the land with us? In my opinion, we can still work as a hired labor honestly, and the harvest will be guaranteed during droughts and floods! Save more money and take it back to your hometown when the time comes. In the past five years, It’s not a loss.” The second eldest son of the Han family, Han Shizong, was the first to express his opinion.A salary of three yuan a month in cash is quite attractive to people who rely solely on farming.

"Second brother, Mr. Yungu wants to issue us a land deed. The land we cultivate will be counted as our family property. There are about ten people in our family, and we have five acres of land for the strong, and two or three acres for the old, weak, women and children. Let’s calculate, we can get forty or fifty acres of good land. Our family has many houses, but our hometown doesn’t have much land. If we separate the families, each family won’t be able to get much. With these forty or fifty acres of land in Wazhou, we can If brothers divide their families, they will get their share, and each family's life will not be bad."

The eldest brother is the father, the old man of the Han family has passed away, and Han Shibao is the head of the family.When he heard that Wazhou would actually give him a land title, he suddenly became excited.In this way, after working hard in Wazhou for five years, wouldn't it be like creating another family fortune?It's a piece of pie in the sky.

"But we have to go back to Liangzhou after all? If we don't go back, I'm afraid General Guining won't agree." Han Shizong didn't come to Wazhou to be a farmer in Kuhaha, so he didn't want to open a field for himself. Not really interested.

"When we return to Liangzhou, we won't conflict with He's property in Wazhou. When the time comes, we can divide it into several houses and come to Wazhou to farm. Don't big families have several estates? Unexpectedly, our Korean family also has one. On this day when there is property elsewhere. You know, this is the land of Wazhou. In peacetime, the three to five acres of land in Liangzhou would be worth the one acre of land here. Look at the Yellow River outside the city. With such a large amount of water left, the harvest will definitely be guaranteed regardless of drought or flood. I will make the decision on this matter, so don’t have other thoughts among you."

Seeing that his middle child always wanted to sing the opposite, Han Shibao was afraid that the younger ones would be affected, so he used his authority as a parent and directly decided the tone!

"Brother, you are talking about the peaceful times. How can Wazhou City be as dilapidated as it is now, compared to Liangzhou? Our whole family worked as hired laborers for three to five years, and the money we saved will not be taken back to Liangzhou. Can you also buy land?" Han Laoer was very unwilling to make the final effort!He really doesn't want to be a pure farmer in Wazhou.

"You usually see things very clearly, but why are you so confused today? Wazhou is only in temporary decline, but it is a big city after all. How can it be compared to Liangzhou? With the Yellow River in front of you, Wazhou will revive sooner or later. You are not Are you saying that Mr. Yungu treats the people well? With such an official in charge, Wazhou will be prosperous again just around the corner. We, the Han family, cannot miss this opportunity!"

With just a land deed, Song Yingkui's image in Han Shibao's heart instantly became much taller, much more majestic and wise than their real parents, Gao Cunhu!
