Chapter 461 Relocation of Fugitives

When Tieshan heard it, he laughed and said, "Where did you two go? I mean, if Shitou didn't come back a year ago, our whole family might have moved out after that year, and we probably won't be here again." I will be back, and if I want to marry Toon to Shishi again, it will be much more troublesome!"

"Moving?" Both Shitou father and son were taken aback, and Shitou's father asked hastily, "Isn't Nanshan Village a good place to live? How did you think of moving?"

Tieshan knew that Shitou's father would ask this question, so he said with a wry smile: "Totou's father, you also know the situation of my family. There are many children in the family. In addition to the two grown-up sons and Xiang Toon, there are three other children. My son and a young daughter together have only seven children. In order to fill these seven mouths, I worked desperately to hunt and grow tea. I finally waited until my two sons became adults. I thought it would be easier, but unexpectedly, I broke my leg, and now it has become a drag on my family."

When talking about this, Tieshan sighed again and said: "The eldest brother got married again last year, because they were afraid of adding burden to the family, the two of them have never dared to have children, and the second eldest will soon be twenty, but he is still married. We didn’t even talk about the relatives, plus a few younger ones are getting bigger and bigger. Youdao is half a child, and he eats a poor old man. There is not enough food for the family. If this continues, I’m afraid our whole family will starve die!"

When Shitou and his son heard Tieshan's undisguised words, their faces also showed heavy expressions. In fact, their lives as refugees are similar. Most of them are struggling on the line of life and death. If one is not careful, It may put the whole family in trouble, such as the Tie family in front of them.It is because without a main labor force, it is impossible to live on.Capital Datang 461

"Brother Tie. Although the life here is a bit hard, can we support the whole family in another place?" Father Shitou thought about it. "I don't think it's better than this. The few acres of land in my family can still produce some grain. In addition, Shishi also works outside and can earn a lot of wages, so the family is still living well. In addition, Shitou and Toon are going to get married soon. So I don’t think it’s better than this, so I’ll marry Xiang Toon’s younger sister, Er Yatou, into our family and be a child bride for my second son. When they are older, they will consummate the house, so that your family will have fewer mouths to eat, and it will also reduce the burden. !"

Shitou's father's mind turned very fast, his method not only made the Tie family less open, but also found a future wife for his second son, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.Of course, in real terms, Shitou's family is still at a disadvantage, after all, they have to raise a little girl for several years.The sum of the expenses over the years must be more than the cost of marrying a toon this time.

However, Tieshan thought about Daddy Shitou's kindness, but refused: "Father Shitou, I know you also have good intentions. But even if Xiang Toon and the second girl are missing in the family, life at home is still miserable. I will be "forced" to a dead end again. So I think I should try it out and move to Taiwan to try!"

"Taiwan? Uncle Tie, are you going to move to Taiwan?" Tieshan had just finished speaking.Stone immediately asked with a shocked expression.He and Xiang Toon haven't officially married yet, so they still call Tieshan Uncle Tie.

And Tieshan suddenly remembered at this time.My son-in-law-to-be has been outside for more than half a year, so he must have much better knowledge than him, so I can ask him about my moving.

Thinking of this, Tieshan also said excitedly: "You see, I am so confused that I forgot that Shitou is well-informed. Please help me think about it and see if this move to Taiwan is reliable?"

As Tieshan spoke, he explained why he moved to Taiwan.

It turned out that just half a month ago, a group of officials riding tall horses came to their Nanshan Village. They claimed to be subordinates of His Royal Highness King Qi. The reason why they came to Jianzhou this time was mainly because they were planning to relocate their population to a large island overseas. , the name of the big island is Taiwan. According to these people's descriptions, that Taiwan island is larger than the entire Jianzhou. to relocate some population.

In addition, those people also said that His Royal Highness Qi Wang doesn't care whether the people who migrate are fugitives. As long as they arrive in Taiwan, they can immediately obtain Taiwan's household registration, and every adult can get a hundred acres of land, and it's not limited to men and women. , and the most exciting thing is that Taiwan does not collect any tax on agriculture, that is to say, as long as it is harvested in the field, it is all yours.

At the beginning, Tieshan and the others suspected that these people were liars. They just wanted to trick them into slavery in other places in the name of immigrants. After all, no one would believe that there are such favorable immigration conditions in this world?

However, Tieshan's suspicions were quickly dispelled, because the other party not only had the immigrant notice stamped by the governor of Jianzhou and the local county magistrate, but also paid resettlement expenses to those who were willing to immigrate. If the family immigrates, then the family can get a settling allowance of ten pennies. If the family leaves too much, they can apply for more settling allowances, but these extra settling allowances have to be paid back.

Although the fugitives are afraid of the people in the government, the government still has a very important position in their hearts. In addition, they are willing to send money first, which makes them even more convinced, so many people are very moved, cautious people I plan to send one person there first to have a look. If the promised conditions are really fulfilled, then the whole family will move there, and for a family like Tieshan who is already struggling and has the guts, they plan to move the whole family. In the past, after all, if what the other party said was true, as long as they arrived in Taiwan, they could get hundreds of acres of land, and then they would no longer have to worry about eating and drinking.

Originally, Tieshan's family had already decided to move to Taiwan, and planned to move after this year. If Shitou never came back, then Xiang Toon would also come to Taiwan by then, and their marriage would be in trouble.

After Shitou heard this, he was also a little scared. Fortunately, he came back a year ago. Otherwise, if Xiang Toon and his family were to move to Taiwan, he would not be able to find Xiang Toon by then, and the marriage would have to be ruined.Speaking of which, Xiang Toon is a good girl, and Shitou doesn't want to miss this good marriage.

"Shitou, you are well-informed. Have you ever heard of Taiwan? Is it as evil as they say?" Finally, Tieshan looked at Shitou expectantly and asked, although he felt that those people were not lying. Human, but I always feel that I have no bottom in my heart.

After listening to Shitou, he put the wine bowl on the table with an excited face, and the wine in the bowl splashed so high that he said, "Uncle Tie, we must move this time, and not only your family, but also our family." Our family is moving too, Taiwan is a good place, I worked outside for more than half a year, and Taiwan is the one I hear most about!"

Hearing what Shitou said, Tieshan and Shitou's father were very surprised, especially Tieshan, who originally asked his son-in-law in the hope of just in case, but Shitou not only agreed, but also decided to move with them. to Taiwan.

"Shitou, what exactly is Taiwan? How can you just move?" Shitou said angrily.The Tieshan family was "forced" to have no other choice, so they wanted to move the whole family, but their family lived fairly well, so there was no need to take this risk.

Shitou naturally understood his father's thoughts, and hurriedly explained: "Father, you don't understand the situation, Taiwan is just across from Fuzhou, not too far from our Jianzhou, and it is the territory of His Royal Highness Qi, and it is developing very fast now. Hurry up, most of the tea produced here in Jianzhou is sent to Taiwan through Fuzhou." Capital Datang 461

When Shi Shi said this, an ecstatic expression appeared on his face again: "When I was working in that tea factory, I had the opportunity to meet a big shopkeeper who came from Taiwan to buy tea. From him, I knew There are many situations in Taiwan. It is true that the land is vast and sparsely populated, and large tracts of land are barren. Most of them are large and small plantations. These plantations are all planted with things like rice and sugar cane. In addition, the most important thing is that I did hear the businessman say that Taiwan has imported people from the Tang Dynasty for many years, and the conditions are very favorable. I thought about going to Taiwan at the beginning, but unfortunately we don’t have household registration, and we can’t leave Jianzhou at all. To think that they actually came to our place to introduce people!"

At the end of Shi Shi's speech, his whole body was shaking with excitement. As long as he arrived in Taiwan, his household registration would no longer be a problem, and he would be given a large piece of land. With these, all the restrictions on him would disappear. It's time to flex your muscles!

After listening to Shitou's words, Tieshan and Shitou's father looked at Shitou's excited appearance, and they no longer doubted it. At the same time, thinking of the generous conditions proposed by Taiwan, they all felt their chests warm, and at the same time they wanted to shout out happily, as if Only in this way can the excitement in my heart be vented.

Shitou and his son didn't expect the double happiness to come to their door today. Not only did they set a date for their wedding with Xiang Toon, but they also learned the good news. The three men were very excited at the moment, and they drank endlessly. In the end, not only did Tieshan I drank up all the rice wine at home, and also drank up the jar of spirits brought by Shitou.

Among the fugitives in Jianzhou, there are still many such cases as the Shitou family and the Tie family. For various reasons, they have made up their minds to try their luck in Taiwan. The government is acting as a guarantor, and it is also the territory of His Royal Highness Qi Wang. They are willing to take this risk just because of the reputation of the sage king of the Tang Dynasty.

The introduction of fugitives was Li Yin's main method to rapidly increase Taiwan's population. Due to household registration problems, these fugitives often lived in poverty, and were discriminated against everywhere, and most of them were even struggling with life and death.Li Yin also learned about this through the intelligence system, so he focused on these fugitives. In addition, he also knew that the number of fugitives in Datang is definitely a very large number. As long as he provides superior conditions, In a short period of time, there is no need to worry about the population problem. (To be continued.)
