Chapter 143: Stay

Huang Yucheng looked at the child, had a number in his heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, small things, more than a dozen pills, three meals a day, five days to wrap up." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”

"Thank you, old fairy." The white-headed man prostrated excitedly, groped for a handkerchief from his bosom, and untied it with some blackened loose silver and a few strings of copper coins.

"My husband and wife ran out in a hurry, all the belongings are here, if it is not enough, the villain is willing to serve as a soldier here, and slowly he will have to pay off his debts, please rest assured that the old fairy."

After finishing speaking, the white-headed man and his wife were very worried, if there was anything that the people were afraid of in these years, in addition to the government's yellow and white list urging the department, it was that the family was sick. The medical level of this era is very poor, not to mention, basically seeing a doctor is to hit the luck, meet a good doctor can still treat, Chinese medicine in the later generations to make metaphysics, many people feel that Chinese medicine is a liar. In fact, there are still a lot of experience in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are effective, as long as a good doctor can master enough prescriptions, and can be increased or decreased according to the patient's situation, the general problem can still be optimistic, Chinese medicine is also divided into pediatrics and orthopedics, gynecology, surgery and other departments, but in rural and rural areas, the general traveling doctor is to see all kinds of diseases, and the real mastery of the prescription is quite limited, it is really the living as a dead person to treat, and the cure is completely luck. Not only that, but the price of seeing a doctor is still very expensive, the consultation fee is expensive, the medicine is expensive, and once someone gets sick, it is almost bankrupt.

In the worried eyes of everyone, Huang Yucheng, who was known as the old immortal, laughed, waved his hand and said: "I don't want you for a penny, our medicine and accommodation are all covered by us, you are righteous people, but after the initial settlement, that is, after a month, it will cost to live again, and we have to live within our means after all." ”

It turns out that accommodation, meals and medical treatment are all free!

This kind of treatment is really unheard of, these Liao people also know what the government is about, and they have never imagined that after escaping, there will be such a level of relief from the Ming court and local governments.

In fact, when the Liao people fled in the early days, many people could not leave their homeland, but later the people of Liaodong ran all the way to the west of Liaoning, crossed the mountains and seas into the Yongping area, not to mention the wind and food, and after the closure, hundreds of thousands of people fell into the poor and helpless territory, with no head, sleeping under the open eaves on the side of the street, eating no three meals, often cold porridge and cold rice, and even starving for several days. The imperial court had no way to do it, and there was no action at all, but these refugees were slowly diverting themselves, and finally relying on the people everywhere to absorb these fleeing people, from the initial sympathy to the later hatred, all because the refugees robbed the local people of their jobs, disrupted the market, and caused chaos. Fortunately in the area from Yongping to Jingshi, there are many cities, the economy is relatively developed, and the conflict is still small, the conflict between the Liao people and the local people in the Denglai area is particularly serious, and there are often armed fights, and the local people's rejection of the Liao people is very serious, but they cannot be blamed, the arrival of the Liao people has impacted the local labor market, and they have robbed water sources and wasteland, which are quite valuable assets of the lower classes.

The situation in Denglai is not very clear in various parts of Liaodong, but fled to the Yongping area of western Liaoning, and news has come back one after another in recent years, and Houjin of course also intends to publicize it, so that the Han people dare not flee at will, and the group of fugitives in front of them never thought that there would be such treatment as they are now.

After the medical examination was over, the quartermaster department sent a robe, which was also the same gray short robe as the peasant soldiers, the same shape as the soldiers' uniforms, but there were no soldiers' copper buckles and cowhide belts, no military boots and military ranks, and each person was a robe sent after measuring his body shape, which fit quite well, and even the lining was renewed. Before changing clothes, I took everyone over to take a bath, there was a considerable bathhouse, men and women were divided, went in and took a bath and changed into new clothes, everyone's face was red, and everyone looked at their partners and laughed.

"Master Jun," Leopard Eye grabbed a peasant soldier and asked, "Is it still comfortable to stay here, are you full of food?" ”

"What do you mean to be well-fed?" The peasant soldier squinted and said: "My family is two thin and one dry every day, the old rice is full at noon, the millet sorghum is cooked porridge in the morning and evening, there are vegetables at a meal, and meat is eaten once every five days." ”

There was another peasant soldier next to him: "I heard from the above, the scale of the farm here is large, and the peasants and soldiers are not limited to buying meat, and the price will be lowered a lot." ”

"There is also a bigger pig farm and chicken farm to the east. I heard that they are still draining and digging ponds in the river, and they need to raise a lot of fish. ”

"There were also ducks, dozens of people, thousands."

"The days will get better and better."

A group of peasant soldiers said that the spit was flying, and they forgot about this group of Liao people at all.

Shortbeard said cautiously: "You have to buy your own food and drink?" ”

"Of course." The peasant soldier who spoke first said: "We farm our own land, give 30 acres of land for one ding, and purchase all the grain at the market price, and the military department provides us with seeds for free, uses ploughing cattle for free, provides shelter, sells us all kinds of daily necessities at a low price, and does not pay taxes after producing grain, and buys at a price, what is better than this?" ”

Another peasant soldier said: "That is, we have to participate in the peasant soldiers, receive training, and issue us military robes, swords, guns, and firearms, and those who can ride horses are given war horse training. ”

"No taxes?" Short beard was surprised: "Bai gave you thirty acres of land and farm tools and seeds, and Bai gave you a place to live, just to spend your own money to buy some food?" ”

"Clothes and hats are issued, and there is no place to use money in normal times, and it is not allowed to play with money." A peasant soldier scratched his head and said, "It's really just some money for eating and drinking." ”

"I heard that the next step will be to attract people to open some teahouses and restaurants, get some people who sing operas, talk about allegro and comment on books, and bring two of them to the troupe of acrobatics, so it will be much more lively."

"It's better to get some of those trades, I'm twenty-seven, and I don't even know what my daughter-in-law tastes like."

"Let's go to Phi Island or Iron Mountain, and the woman over there will bring back a few pieces of bread."

"That's right, hurry up and give me a son, my father and mother both died in Jinzhou, if they know the life I live now, I can still marry a wife and have children, I am afraid that I will feel at ease underground."

"Why don't you pay taxes?" Shortbeard and Leopard Eyes and the others are still obsessed with this problem, and they can't figure it out.

Compulsory military training is regarded as a kind of conscription in the eyes of the short beard and others, and it is also reasonable to offset the free use of ploughing cattle and accommodation, since they have to have some strength to enjoy these benefits, it is not very surprising, what is surprising is that 30 acres of land are planted for these Liao people for nothing, and only one peasant soldier will give these benefits in the name of the peasants, which is really incomprehensible.

"I said it." A peasant soldier gave this group of newcomers a literacy rate: "Kuandian is a war zone, we are on the front line to reclaim wasteland, so there must be corresponding rewards, even if the price, the top is also very favorable, I heard that in Li Zhuang has been four dollars to four dollars five prices to collect grain, in the past two years there have been famines in northern Shanxi and northern Shaanxi, and the price of grain is also five dollars a stone, has not risen." After all, two hundred miles away from here, the people have to spend more than ten or twenty taels to buy a stone of grain, and the grain is too precious here in Liaodong! ”

"That makes sense." Leopard Eye was very moved when he heard this, and sighed: "Master Zhang of Hutchison is sincerely convinced now, this is really for the sake of our Liao people, and I never think of taking advantage of our people." Follow such a Lord, and there is no loss. ”

"Indeed, I admire it very much."

"Our family has decided to stay." The white-haired man's eyes were red, his child had been taken to the hospital for treatment, and his husband and wife had settled down in their hearts...... The biggest fantasy of the peasants is to have dozens of acres of fertile land belonging to themselves, and then have a good year to make a good income, so that the family can be fed and clothed, as long as they stay in the tun area of the 12th regiment of Kuandian, everything will be realized almost in the blink of an eye, it is simply a dream.

Leopard Eyes and Short Beard looked at each other, originally they didn't believe in the scale and pattern of a business, and they also felt that the rules here were hard to train, and they were bent on going to Dongjiang Town, but now they have been shaken.

"How's the harvest?" Short beard said with a lack of breath: "Seeing that the wheat is growing well, I originally wanted to go to the Iron Mountain to farm, but I heard that there are many people there, hundreds of thousands of people are there." ”

"There are a lot of people." A peasant soldier said: "I first in Phi Island, and then to the Iron Mountain, or begged for a thousand times when the old fellow has the opportunity, on the Phi Island every day starvation and freezing to death, when digging the ice is even worse, every day to die more than 100 people, to the Iron Mountain is also a dead man, more people and less land, wild vegetables just emerged to call people even the soil to dig out and eat, these two years to be better, but also hungry for a full meal, the war on the top is not divided into soldiers and peasants as long as it is a man has to go, there are weapons with weapons, no weapons to sharpen a wooden stick and go together, win the battle is good, follow the robbery, The defeated general and Nedin ran first, and our men were behind, and the dead were gone. In the third year of the Apocalypse, I followed a battle, and after losing, the soldiers and officials ran first, and we people also ran behind, and I saw that the Jianlu on horseback at the back of the forest kept chasing him, and everyone was scared half to death, and I heard the bow and arrow swishing all the time, and someone kept being shot by the arrow, and blood gushed from the nose and mouth, and a brother was vomiting blood while dragging my trousers, and asked me to save him, where did I dare to ......"

There were sighs all around, and there was some strange color in everyone's eyes, almost all of these peasant soldiers came from Phi Dao and other places, and they knew the situation in Dongjiang Town too well.

After a long sigh, the peasant soldier who spoke said to Short Beard again: "If you want to go to the Dongjiang River, you can do it, anyway, Mao Shuai is also leading the Tartar to kill." No matter how hard it is over there, I have never complained about Mao Shuai, and he is also difficult. But if you want to go over, you have to be prepared to endure hardships, that side is not here, Mao Shuai's generals are not all good, some people do not kill Tartars, they specialize in deducting their own people, it is him who makes a fortune, he goes to war first, farming is hard, and being a soldier is also hard, unless you have the ability to change your surname to be Neiding, that life can be better, but to be honest, even if it is a general Neiding, life is not as good as here, how to choose, you decide for yourself. ”
