Stayed in Dongjiazhuang for one night, and the next morning, Wang Dou and several people drove the cattle and led the soldiers back to Jingbiandun.

Wang Dou looked at those military households, among these ten military households, including the small family, there were more than 40 people, half of them were men and women, and as far as the eye could see, all of them were ragged and weak, and there were probably only seven or eight young people who would look stronger. And some of the children who shrank next to their parents were even more unkempt, with yellow and thin faces, and their clothes were torn like sacks, but they just looked at the tall Wang Dou and the others with fearful eyes, and looked curiously at the tall Jingbiandun in front of them.

A few days ago, the frost had fallen, and the colder the weather became, the leather jackets and felt hats on these military households were full of holes, and the cold wind blew, and many people were shivering. Some of the men were fine, but the women and children around them were even worse.

Looking at these people in front of him, Wang Dou sighed, which of these are the Ming soldiers, they are clearly a group of Ming beggars, and there are seven people in Jingbiandun, although they are also dressed in tatters, but obviously, their physical fitness and mental outlook are much stronger than them. It seems that I will have to spend some time recuperating for them in the future.

While waiting, Liu and Tao finally took a large pot out with difficulty, and the pot was steaming, and the fragrance of rice porridge wafted over in the distance.

There was a commotion among the soldiers, all of them stretching their necks to look over there, especially the children, who were snorting vigorously.

Liu and Tao greeted each other affectionately: "Drink porridge, everyone will bring the dishes and chopsticks to drink porridge." ”

The military households have found the dishes and chopsticks from their luggage, there are Wang Dou and others in front, they dare not crowd and scramble, according to the entrance of the house, one by one with the bowl to line up to receive the porridge, the back is just a constant probe to probe the brain, very anxious waiting.

Liu and Tao kept greeting those military households, especially Tao, and their expressions were even more affectionate, and a newcomer came, for the sake of being the old man of Jingbiandun, at least Wang Tou would hand over those women to his command, right?

While scooping porridge for everyone with a spoon, she said loudly: "Everyone drink porridge, but don't forget the kindness of Lord Zongqi." ”

The military households just didn't say yes, while looking for a place to gobble up food. In the future, when the rice and wheat are ripe, I will exempt everyone from tax in the first year. In the second year, one bucket of grain was levied per mu of tuntian to pay for the cattle and other silver that had been borrowed before. In the third year, two buckets of grain were levied per mu of tuntian, and since then, it has become a precedent forever, and no more new ones will be sent. My Wang Dou is a talker, that day I went with the chief Zhong Da to kill the Tartars, and afterwards I really went, and after fighting and killing, I had my current official position! This is true for killing Tartars, and so is I when it comes to Tuntian! ”

After listening to Wang Dou's straightforward words, everyone looked at each other, all of them were moved, Wang Dou's words were straightforward, and they had to levy grain from the second year, but gave them a real and credible feeling, Wang Dou's words were much more convincing than those Shangguan who were blowing the sky. If it is really as Wang Dou said, after the third year, there will be no more distribution, then two buckets of grain per mu are completely affordable, this is only the share of the grain of the military households in the early Ming Dynasty, although it is heavier than the rent of the households on the surface, but in the current year, this burden is already very light.

After that, although some people were still suspicious, most people were full of hope in their hearts, as Wang Dou said, hoping to live a peaceful and stable life in the future.

After pacifying the reprimand, Wang Dou ordered that the cattle brought from Dongjiazhuang be driven back to the pier to be fed, and those hoes and other things were also brought in. Yang Tong moved out the only chair in the pier for Wang Dou, and Wang Dou sat on the chair and began to register the papers for the military households, but unfortunately there was no table, so he could only take a wooden board and write on his lap.

Wang Dou's writing of traditional Chinese characters is not a problem, he swiped his pen, and registered the ten households one by one according to the military household post, the year of each household, the color of the army's footsteps, the address, the family, the man, the woman, the Chengding, etc., and issued two books.

According to the final statistics, there are 45 men and women in 10 military households, including 22 men, 18 adults, and 4 non-adults. There are twenty-three women, fifteen strong women over the age of thirteen, and eight young girls under the age of thirteen. In addition, the personal property brought by each household is also registered one by one.

After finishing his work, Wang Dou breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and moved his hands and feet, he hadn't touched the pen for a long time, and he felt a little tired before he registered ten households.

He sighed secretly in his heart, there will be a lot of affairs in the dun in the future, do you have to do everything yourself? Especially this kind of paperwork ().

It's a pity that in addition to him now, there is also Qi Tianliang who can read a few words and can count points, and the rest of the Han Dynasty brothers and Yang Tong, as well as the two women, are orthodox illiterate people who can't even write their own names. There's really no way to do it yourself, but in the future, with the exhibition of Tunpu, there will be more and more clerical affairs, and it seems that you will have to recruit a scribe in the future.

Those military households were secretly surprised to see that Wang Dou could write books fluently, and everyone showed a look of admiration on their faces. This is the case in this Ming Dynasty, people who can read and write are always admirable.

After Wang Dou was busy, he asked the Han and Chao brothers to arrange a place for those military households to live, so many people would definitely not be able to live in the pier, and there was no barracks arrangement for the time being, so they could only let them pick up some thatched huts along the pier and live temporarily.

The northland displaced people have the habit of building a nest in the field, digging a pit in the ground, finding some stones and branches to build a small wall around the perimeter, and then building some thatch on the top to become a house, this kind of building is simple and effective, does not need any raw materials, I heard that it is rumored from the Saiwaihu people, as long as there is a certain amount of firewood, grass and carbon wood, it can well resist the severe cold.

Han Chao several people commanded those new residents to build a nest outside the pier, in this regard, of course, Wang Dou did not understand Han Chao and others, he just asked those new residents to build a nest in an orderly manner, and when it is convenient, they should also be concentrated in a thatched pit, not scattered and arranged, and try to pay attention to hygiene.

It can be seen that Han Chao is very commanding, Wang Dou sees that the two brothers have a mysterious origin, and it seems to have a story, but of course Wang Dou will not ask his **.

At night, the nests have taken shape, piles of firewood are lit, and the children's jokes and laughter add a lot of vitality to the outside of Jingbian Dun.
