Chapter 121 The Prototype of the Family

Twelve households, 67 people, 37 men, 29 men over 13 years old, 30 women, 22 women over 13 years old.

The previous hugging and crying grandfather attracted Dong Ce's attention, because when the two men signed up, they said the two typical Mongolian names of 'Baiyin' and 'Ulan Bari'. And the old man who should be his father is a typical Han name - Lu Tianding. Dong Ce looked at them carefully and found that their facial features were really the faces of some Mongolians, and it was still obvious to him at first glance.

After the statistics were completed, Dong Ce took them to Anxiangdun under the support of Yelu Lihe and the five cavalry.

Due to the drag of these people, the speed of the group was very slow, and when it was dark, they rushed to Anxiangdun.

At this time, Anxiangdun is already much more dilapidated and desolate than a month ago.

There was no one in the arena, the livestock pen was still there, but the cattle inside were gone, and around the fort, a large area of wasteland was overgrown with artemisia grass. Originally, the military households in the dun also planted some land. As soon as I heard that I was going to move away, I immediately lost my enthusiasm, and I couldn't go so far to serve the crops in the future, right? Even the horses in the horse ring are much less.

The men in the pier are now on errand and listen to orders by Dong Ce's side, and many of them have not come back for many days, and the military households in the pier have also been notified by Dong Ce--some more time. One. Root. Read. On the day of the novel, XSTXT is going to be moved from here to Fort Rock.

All the people rejoiced and saddened at this command.

Happily, my own men have a good future, and they have entered Rock Castle, which is to be an official, and their own family has also followed the rising tide and gone to Rock Castle, and the conditions such as house accommodation must be good. And the sad thing is that I have lived here for many years, and some of my ancestors have been here for generations, and I am really sad to leave.

There were not many people in the pier, and many houses were vacant, Dong Ce asked these people to settle in these houses first, and then asked Li Guiniang to clean up some multigrain cakes for them who were hungry and their eyes were blue.

Eating bread and living in this house that can shelter from the wind and rain, these people who have become Dong Ce's slaves feel very lucky - after all, the master is intimate to his own people, and those people in the public can only live in shacks.

That night, Dong Ce asked them all to sign the paperwork of selling their bodies.

Take one of them as an example.

"Sell your body and ask the servant Hong Sanyuan ......"

Most of them couldn't read, so they bit their fingers and pressed bloody handprints.

In all fairness, the content and terms of this document are extremely harsh and extremely inhumane, and if you sign this document together, then it is not only a problem for Dong Ce's domestic slaves, but also can be killed by Dong Ce at will, but Dong Ce will not bear any responsibility.

You must know that domestic slaves are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

The folk atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was quite open, and it was not too embarrassing to work and serve people in other people's homes, especially in large households, and it was a glamorous thing that could be taken out to talk about. Some domestic slaves have a time limit, and the documents are clearly written and clear, and once the time limit is reached, they will be released from the house and their personal freedom will be restored. And some domestic slaves, although they are born of the family, have their own independent careers and have a great deal of autonomy, but they are attached to the master's family because of their feelings and interests.

And the slaves and maids that these outcasts became were the lowest kind, with no personal freedom, serving as slaves for generations, and the head of the family could kill them at will.

If it was a peaceful year, not many people would have sold themselves like this, but now, everything is gone.

However, Dong Ce's conditions for them were also quite favorable, not only renting land, renting cattle, distributing grain, etc., but also treating them equally. And if the daughter of their family is looked down upon and taken into the house as an errand, not only does she take care of food and housing, but also has a lot of monthly money subsidies every month.

Now that Dong Ce has an official position, a land, a lot of power, and more than a dozen domestic slaves, and a big enough mansion, the prototype of a general's family has appeared.

Dong Ce also has his own ideas about the planning of Anxiangdun, and he is now planning step by step.

After signing the paperwork, Dong Ce put away the thick stack of papers, put them in the corner of the table in his room, and put them together with the roster made by Bai Zhongqi, and then asked all the house slaves to gather in front of his door.

More than 60 people stuffed the bunker to the brim, and the audience was silent, all of them turned their eyes to Dong Ce.

"From now on, you are the people of my Dong family, if you are born, you will be loyal, and you must not have two hearts, then this official will also make you comfortable for a lifetime, and your descendants will never be poor again." Dong Ce's gaze swept over everyone's faces, and he said slowly: "This official also treats you equally, and the rules are the same as those of the soldiers. Every man over the age of fifteen shall be granted fifteen acres of rented land and must grow grain. Women over the age of 15 shall be granted 10 acres of land each. Ding cattle over four years old, each head of rented land ten acres, a household limit of up to four cows. ”

"Remember, it's renting, not giving! The land is not yours yet, but it is given to you to plant. But don't worry, if you are honest, sincere and capable, the official will not be stingy! In addition, your rent per acre of land is five buckets, five liters, and five he. I can leave you young and old! ”

He pointed to the big family standing on the right hand, which was Hong Sanyuan's family: "For example, in this family, there are four Ding men and four Ding women, all of whom are over fifteen years old, plus the ploughing cattle assigned to them by this official, they can divide one hundred and ten acres of land!" This 110 acres of land, excluding the land rent, the remaining grain is definitely enough for this family to eat! Not only is there enough food to eat, but the food saved is exchanged for silver, and I am afraid that it will not take two years, and the big house can be raised! The days are booming! ”

He smiled: "I can't talk about the son's dowry, and the daughter's dowry." ”

The bright prospect he built made Hong Sanyuan's family smile, this honest man was not good at words like many Zhuang families, and just took the family to kneel and kowtow to Dong Ce.

"Get up, get up!"

Dong Ce smiled, then said two more words, and finally said: "From tomorrow, we will prepare for land reclamation." Tomorrow you will not be able to live in the pier, but you will go outside and find a place to build a house near the wall of the pier. Remember, don't leave the mound where the bunker is located. ”

Then Dong Ce appointed five people and asked them to start dividing the land with people tomorrow, with ten acres of land as a unit of one well, so that it was convenient to distribute.

When people have certain powers, the first thing that comes to mind is basically what this power will bring to me, and for most people, this is a normal thing, but the human heart is at work. This is especially true in this era of chaos and hunger, especially for those who have suffered so much that their morals have almost no moral values. They are in awe of the strong, but it does not mean that there is enough moral benchmark in their hearts. These five people are no exception, they are all happy after listening to it, and they have already saved their minds to seek a personal benefit for themselves.

It's just that Dong Ce's next words made their hearts cold.

"Yelu Lihe, you keep an eye on them, if anyone dares to engage in favoritism and abuse power for personal gain, they will be killed directly!" Dong Ce smiled faintly: "In addition, the land planned tomorrow will be chosen by others first, and the five of you will be chosen last." ”

When several people heard this, they all quickly knelt down and said, "The villain will never dare to cheat for personal gain." ”

Dong Ce didn't care about their confusing names, it stands to reason that they should call themselves slaves.

"The grain will also be distributed in these two days, and after you have divided the land, cultivate it as soon as possible, and don't miss the time of winter wheat."

Dong Ce went back to Panshi Fort that night, and his small courtyard in the fort was clean and warm, so he was naturally unwilling to spend the night in Anxiangdun. However, Yelu Lihe and the five night patrol scouts stayed there in case anything happened to these new people, so that there were only five people left on the night patrol side of the Rock Fort, and there was not even a rotation, so Shi Jin and Zhou Zhong had to join in the meantime, which could barely survive.

On the second day, Marin led the other five cavalry to Anxiangdun, and Yelu Lihe was exchanged.

There are more and more people under him, and the plate is getting bigger and bigger, and Dong Ce feels more and more that the available people under his command are stretched.

Early in the morning of the second day, before the sun came out, that is, around five o'clock, Dong Ce asked all the newly attached homeless people from yesterday to be gathered.

In the black pressure below, Dong Ce announced in public the settlement of these displaced people, and treated the people equally from the previous ones, all men over the age of fifteen were each granted fifteen acres of open fields, and they must grow grain. Women over the age of 15 shall each be granted 10 acres of open land. Ding cattle over four years old, each head of ten acres of open field, a household limit of up to four cattle.

If the whole family is old and disabled, and those who are eleven years old and above and those who are disabled receive half of the land of the male man, and those who are over seventy years old do not pay back what they have received, the widow shall keep her will, and shall be given the land to the woman even if she is exempted from school.

But they were not granted mulberry fields, and at the same time, the tax per mu was five buckets, five liters, and five he.

In other words, the fields they are planting now can be recovered by Dong Ce at any time, and they are not their private property. In this way, they were separated from the people who had moved earlier.

Dong Ce knows very well that if you give too many benefits at one time, it will not be worth much in the future.

It's just that considering that there is very little inventory of cultivated cattle under his hands now, and the new batch of homeless people generally have very few family members, and many singles even have one bite per household, so when Dong Ce gave them the land, it was still divided according to the standard of one ploughing ox per household, but in fact, five households shared one ploughing ox. The five households supervise each other, and if something goes wrong with the cattle, the five households will be held accountable.
