() Thank you for the support of the two bases of firepower, enough ammunition, car skins, and no shortage of meat buns, let's fire!

May [-]th of the first year of Tianqi.

If it was a few years ago, when Lin Ahshui was still in his hometown in Quanzhou Prefecture, someone told him that one day you would sell the surplus grain after paying the imperial grain tax and have spare money to go to restaurants or teahouses to eat wine and drink tea. Lin Ah Shui will definitely do what the storyteller told Sun Houzi, spit on him first, then pick up the shoulder pole, "Hit him with three hundred crutches as a gift!"

Such a person is either a liar or a madman!

However, today, Lin Ah Shui hired a few Jingpo natives to carry the rice from his own fields to the general's house in Hejing City to pay the public grain for this season, and then went to a familiar grain store on the street Sell ​​surplus food. <Restaurant.

A serving of red chicken, a serving of snails, and a pot of old wine, this kind of life makes Lin Ahshui so beautiful that she doesn't know where she is.However, looking at the copper coins in the basket, it still hurts a little.

After a while, these copper coins will be handed over to others.

"Uncle A Shui!" With the sound of footsteps on the floor, Lin Alun walked up.

The Lord is here!

Lin Ah Shui hastily put on a smile, and got up to greet her distant nephew.

Lin Alun is Zuo Tianpeng's personal soldier, the field under his name and a buffalo are handed over to Lin Ashui, his distant uncle to plant and use.Today is the day when the two agreed to deliver the land and rent the buffaloes.

After a few pleasantries, Lin Ah Shui carefully looked at her roommate nephew.

"Ah Lun, it's a bit darker, but it looks good, and it's much stronger."

Lin Alun waved his hand triumphantly, "Uncle Ah Shui, it's naturally a little harder to be with your lord, but it's worth it."

While talking, he patted the bulging bag proudly, Lin Ah Shui's keen ears could hear the pleasant sound of the silver ingots colliding inside amidst the noisy voices.

Lin Ah Shui picked up a piece of red chicken, and tried hard to hide her swallowing movements.

"Ah Lun, what, got rich?!"

"Hi! With the general's blessing, I went to the mainland with Mr. Zuo. I went back and forth for more than a month. In addition to the salary, I also got some rewards, about 20 taels of silver."

oh!It turned out that he went north to make a fortune!Lin Ah Shui heard people in the village discuss that every time the general organizes troops or goes out to sea, he will receive a large reward when he returns.However, looking at the size and shape of Lin Alun's bag, there must be more than 20 taels of silver in it!

When it came to money, Lin Ah Shui felt that he had to give his nephew an explanation.

"Ah Lun, this season's harvest is thanks to the general. It's not bad! You have harvested 47 shi of rice in your [-] mu of paddy field. It was supposed to pay the imperial grain tax of the general's mansion, but the adults in the house said The [-] mu of land is in your name, which is part of the tax deduction and exemption. Therefore, a total of [-] shi of grain was sold. Each shi was priced at four silver coins, that is, four hundred Wen, plus your The buffalo's money is a total of..."

"Okay, Uncle Ashui, just tell me how much I should get? We are real relatives, I still can't trust you?!" Lin Alun interrupted Lin Ashui's rambling settlement. In his opinion, This Uncle Ah Shui is a man who farms the land and manages his family. No one in the whole village can surpass him, but he is really not a straightforward person when it comes to money.

"A total of eleven thousand wen. Here is eleven thousand wen." Ah Shuibo pointed to the basket under his feet.It was full of blue-yellow copper coins, which radiated a seductive light in the sunlight.

After the money was delivered, Ah Lun took up the topic.

"Uncle A Shui, I heard from Shaofeng that you plan to go back to your hometown in Quanzhou?" Holding a wine glass, Lin Alun asked very leisurely.

"Yeah!" Speaking of going back to his hometown in the countryside of Quanzhou, Lin A-Shui's eyebrows rose brightly. What is the purpose of working so hard here in Annan?Isn't it just for the yellow-faced woman and a few boys at home? To feed them and build a big house for the family?

"Is my eldest brother getting married?"

"Well, it's the fifth younger sister of the Huang family's seventh son in the neighboring village."

"That girl is not bad. She has thick hands and big feet, and she is a good hand in the field. Besides, she has big hips and big buttocks, so she must be easy to bear!" While boasting about his future brother and daughter-in-law, Ah Lun took out a fine silk silver bag from his bag. Kaizi, "Tell Ah Hu that I can't drink his wedding wine. I gave this to my siblings."

"Hey! How did this happen?" Lin Ah Shui pushed away his nephew's irrelevant left hand, but did not touch the right hand holding the money, until he took the money, with a smile on his face, but a smile on his face. He complained vigorously that Ah Lun was too polite.

Then he asked if there was anything going on at Ah Lun's house.He is willing to do it for him.

"Uncle Ah Shui, actually, even if you don't tell me, I will still ask you." Lin Alun took out a letter from home, a few bamboo plaques, and a dozen silver coins, large and small, from his bag.

"After you arrive at my hometown, give it to my mother, let her entrust the old house to the people in the ancestral hall to take care of, and let her eat the chickens, ducks, geese and dogs for my younger brothers. The money, probably There are more than 50 taels, and the money owed to people outside should be paid quickly, and the money owed to us should not be given up. Come to Hejing as soon as possible. My youngest fifth brother should be about to grow up."

"Ah Lun, I can handle this matter for you. I can send you the words, letters, and the money. But, can you tell Uncle Ah Shui why you are in such a hurry to let your family Brothers are all coming to Hejing?"

Lin Alun looked around vigilantly, and there were guests drinking and eating all around, and the Bamin accent filled the lobby with the taste of hometown.

Very well, no one pays attention to this table.

In a lowered voice, he told Lin Ah Shui a secret that was enough to drive Lin Ah Shui crazy.

"Uncle A Shui, I heard a big secret when I was serving the general and Mr. Zuo! I only tell you, you must keep it a secret, and you must never tell it to the outside world!"

Just the day before yesterday, when Li Shouhan had wine and celebrations with Zuo Tianpeng, Xu Huanshan, Li Peilin, Li Peiting, Wang Bao, Chen Tianhua and others, they made a plan about immigrating to Shuichenla.

Before the first lunar month of the third year of Chongzhen, adult males who arrived in Hejing, received military training, and obtained the qualifications of a strong man can immigrate to the Shuichenla area. Each immigrant household can obtain [-] acres of land in the Shuichenla area. The ration field and the support loan for two buffaloes. In view of the relatively desolate state of the Chenla area, the General's Mansion will provide the immigrants with rations for one year, and at the same time, tax exemption within three years.Moreover, in order to improve farming efficiency, the General's Mansion will also provide leasehold plows to immigrants in the Shuichenla area.

Also, in order to prevent the local natives from harassing, each household will be equipped with Juehu Dao and Sangmen Gun to fight against the natives.In addition, the immigrant villages with unified standards will reduce the losses caused by the natives' harassment to the lowest point.

The natives, who couldn't get enough metal knives and guns, could only look at the walls and sigh when they faced the villages built with bricks, stones and cement.

"However, the houses of each household in the village have to be built by themselves! If there is no money to repair, the General's Mansion will provide a loan, and it will be repaid within 20 years, whether it is money or food."

"Ah Lun, tell me, one household can open fifty acres, so how many people count as one household? Also, what if the extra fields are counted?" Lin Ahshui held the table firmly with both hands, and worked hard calm yourself down.

"How many people count as one household? It's hard to say, but what I heard means that there should be no less than one strong man."

Hearing this, Lin Ah Shui's eyes couldn't help beating violently, it's nainai!A strong man can be counted as a household. There are six or seven boys in my family. Although the youngest one is only fifteen, he is a famous big-legged boy nearby.

Six or seven strong men, that is six or seven fifty acres of land!Five six thirty, five seven 35, 350 acres!In my hometown, the largest landowners in the nearby villages don't have so many fields!

"Uncle A Shui, you don't know that one of my sworn brothers is under Master Xu, and he went to see the fields of Shuizhenla. The local natives can produce three crops a year, and seven crops in two years!" Ah Lin The round gave Ah Shuibo another heavy blow at the right time.

"This is the bamboo card. The schooner will go to Quanzhou every month. Master Zuo and I asked for a few berths, and let the brothers come by the schooner, which is several times faster than other ships."

It was also on that day of the meeting that Shouhan decided to use the schooner he had now, besides fishing and whaling in the Beibu Gulf, to take out a few boats to go back and forth between Hongji Port, Quanzhou Port and Chaozhou.Sell ​​salt, rice, white sugar, dyed cloth and other special products. By the way, you can also do some passenger and cargo transportation.Each berth on a schooner can be sold for more than one or two taels of silver, and even so, it is hard to find a berth.

Without him, those small merchants who want to make a fortune in Hejing, but they want to get a chance to come to Hejing even if they sharpen their heads.

But Lin Alun actually begged his immediate superior, Zuo Tianpeng, who was in charge of the naval fleet, to buy a berth for his brothers at such a high price, so that his brothers could come to Hejing as soon as possible.

It is to enable his younger brothers to come to Hejing as soon as possible to receive the so-called strong man training, and then go to Shuizhenla to cultivate!

"Can any of your younger brothers have fifty acres of land?" Lin Ahshui's voice was almost trembling.

"It should be more than that. You don't know, because I have several expeditions, I can be considered to have military merits, so I have rewarded land. I asked the copy to check it. If my military merits were replaced by the land of Shuizhenla, It should be two hundred acres!"

"Boom!" It was like a bronze cannon fired at Lin Ahshui's head, making him feel dizzy immediately.

Obediently!His family has [-] mu of paddy fields in Hejing. If there are another [-] mu in Shuichenla, plus the [-] or [-] mu of land reclaimed by a few young men, it will be [-] mu of land!

no!Such a good thing, we can't let his family monopolize it!

After dinner, Lin Alun returned to the General's Mansion with a heavy basket of copper coins.

"General, Mr. Li, the matter you explained has been done."

He went straight into the back hall and reported to Li Shouhan and Li Peilin respectfully.

The two looked at each other and smiled, "Very well, go down and rest!"

"The little one has something to ask the grown-up."

"please say."

"General, Lord Li, after Xiao's family is here, is it really possible to have so many fields?"

"Haha! Lin Jiachang, you have been following me for a while, when have you ever seen me not keep what I said?"

"At that time, you will only think that there are few people in the family, and you will not worry about not having land."

Seeing Lin Alun struggling to carry the heavy basket of copper coins, Li Shouhan thought secretly, "Is it time to issue currency?"

"My lord? My lord!" Li Peilin's soft voice brought Shou Han back to reality.

"Brother Zong, when I'm not in Hejing, civil affairs will be handed over to you and Uncle Fu, and military affairs will be handled by Chen Tianhua. Hurry up and train."

"Yes. Peilin will try his best to ensure the stability of the rear and follow the example of Xiao Xiangguo."

Shou Han ignored the rebellious taste contained in Li Peilin's words, just pushed open the window and looked towards the southeast.In the distance, on the skyline, a cloud rolled over there, brewing a storm.

Sure enough, Shou Han was about to face a big storm
