Later Dan-East, all dynasties were military fortresses, the Warring States period was the eastern frontier of Yan State, the Western Han Dynasty set up Xi'an Ping County, the Tang Dynasty set up the Andong Protectorate, and now it is subordinate to the Liaodong Da-Liandu Command Mission.

Since the first year of Hongxi, Xu Hao began to immigrate to Andong, because Andong is one of the warmest and wettest places in eastern Liaodong, there is no scorching heat in summer, no severe cold in winter, there is no doubt that it is a paradise in the northeast, extremely suitable for human habitation, with the Yalu River flowing down from Changbai Mountain, the water quality is excellent and abundant, and there are lush forests everywhere.

The first customs office in Liaodong was built in Andong Hushan, and there are incomplete ruins of the ancient Great Wall on the peak, and now there is no need to build a new Great Wall, instead of a gun tower and a sentry post, stationed 5,600 soldiers and a fleet of 3,000 sailors in the Andong Guard.

Xu Hao looked at the renovated ancestral hall surnamed Liu in front of him, according to the investigation, it was built by the surname Liu in the Han Dynasty, and now the descendants of the descendants have long since disappeared, and only a ruin remains.

There are more than a dozen thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in front and behind the ancestral hall, and the leaves are green, yellow and red, and the ginkgo trees are full of beautiful leaves that are mottled with colors.

Xu Hao stood in front of the ancestral hall and looked at the river, but saw that the thousands of mountains and grass were yellow, and the cooking smoke and wildfires were like white smoke and clouds everywhere. Due to the large-scale settlement of the Han people, the Korean court ordered the people of the border villages to migrate to the interior, and the large areas of fertile land along the banks of the river were all owned by the Ming Dynasty.

However, Xu Hao did not gain an inch, and did not allow the Han people to continue to go deeper without fear, and only allowed to enclose land along the riverside, because what he needed was a stable frontier environment.

Andong is the fourth largest city in eastern Liaoning after Dalian and Shenyang, Liaoyang, with a population of more than 200,000 because of its advantageous geographical conditions for trade with North Korea, its climate is also particularly pleasant, and its development rate is extremely amazing.

After the autumn harvest, the villages store the straw for the winter for the ploughing cattle and pile it up in the fields like white towers, and the ginkgo biloba and poplar trees stand tall in rows. The sight of large and small leaves flying in the sun is indescribable and incredible, especially the ginkgo biloba on both sides of the road specially transplanted in the city, the yellow leaves flying like falling rain, and the ground is covered with a layer of orange leaves, and it is as romantic as you want to walk under the trees.

Later, Dan-Dong has three of the six century-old ginkgo avenues in Asia, and the century-old trees that have gone through the vicissitudes of life are the pride of the locals, and Xu Hao hopes to leave the beautiful ginkgo road to future generations.

Anton in autumn is particularly charming, in the overall planning. The long streets, the ginkgo trees, at a glance, are full of gold, showing the rise of the Han border city to the world.

On the other side of the dock, the ships gathered, and the grains and fruits obtained from the land were piled up there, waiting to be loaded and disembarked, and the ships were carrying various commodities to be sold to the Korean country.

Dozens of small children ran in the huge pile of goods. Scuffle games with each other.

Most of the small boats that sailed down the middle and upper reaches were also loaded with grain, and rows of rafts ran down the river, which were cut down from the primeval forests of the Xing'an Mountains and the giant trees near the Changbai Mountains. A steady stream of supply to the shipyards and thousands of households in Liaodong.

The whole coastal line is filled with the lively sound of leather drums and gongs, exactly like the Central Plains, and the people have received a satisfactory harvest, and the ceremony of thanking the soil is being held in the wilderness. Show gratitude to the gods and ancestors, and make an appointment for a simple wish that "next year will be as usual".

Xu Hao was about to take a small boat to the other side, while waiting. Uncle Huai, a villager, said with a smile: "This year's harvest is good, and it is not in vain to open up the wasteland in the past few years." Third master, this road still needs to be repaired, and the population is still too large, otherwise it will be too desolate, we can take a boat when we enter the city, what can the people in the mountains do? ”

"Yes! There are still too few people. Xu Hao also scratched his head a little, the population of the entire Ming Dynasty did not exceed 80 million, and the population of Liaoning Province alone in later generations was 64 million, although he tried his best to encourage the people to go out of the customs, but a million scattered throughout Liaodong, like a handful of pepper sprinkled on the ground, there was no pungent smell at all.

Even if the Jurchens are no longer a threat, Liaodong is full of mountains and rivers, endless primeval forests, all kinds of deep mountains and old forests, think about the famous Kanto Xiangma in modern times, and public security will really be a problem in the future.

Uncle Wang, the owner of the ship, said: "The year is good, the meat grows in the soil, the pumpkin in my field is the size of a bucket, weighing twenty-two pounds, it is really as big as a bucket. ”

Uncle Huai said disdainfully: "It's not ginseng, what can be made up?" ”

Some villagers joked: "Some people say that in Nanyang, radish and winter melons are the size of buckets, and they have to be pulled by ox carts, and two or three carts can't fit it." ”

Uncle Wang, who had gone to sea with Xu Hao, sneered and said: "Nonsense, some people say that there is a lot of gold in Nanyang, and there is gold everywhere, but I don't think there is much gold in our Anton." ”

It turned out that Xu Hao sent people to explore Anton's mineral deposits last year according to his memory, and the first was boron.

Xu Hao knows that boron is a very widely used chemical raw material, but he really doesn't know how to use it, and now what can be used is enamel, ceramics and glass, after testing, it has good heat and wear resistance, can enhance the luster, and improve the surface finish.

The successful exploration of gold mines attracted many gold diggers, and in later generations, Anton's gold reserves and mining volume accounted for the first place in Liaoning Province, which was an important pillar to promote Anton's development. Of course, there is no doubt that the owner of the gold mine is the Xu family, not Xu Hao's domineering, otherwise it is impossible to stabilize the hearts of the people, and all the people take it for granted that the gold mine should be the Xu family.

Xiuyan County, which is subordinate to Anton, is the world of jade, and now the output of jade has been unrivaled, no one knows that half of the jade produced in Xiuyan every year in the entire Ming Dynasty, where tens of thousands of slaves are working day and night.

The big guys talked about this year's harvest, some said that the family married a North Korean daughter-in-law, and a middle-aged woman with a bamboo cage on her back hurriedly came over, and the cage contained two little black piglets.

The woman got on the boat and put down the cage, wiped the sweat on her head with a hand towel, and listened to everyone talking about the new life in Liaodong, and couldn't help but interject: "When I was in my hometown, Benfang was the most famous rich man in the county, and the patriarch was the most rich and unkind person, so I had no children and no daughters, and the two wives and concubines were not harmonious. At that time, the Yan army hit Shandong, and the family ran to the mountain, because the rich were not benevolent, they were pointed out by the villagers to hide, and they were caught and donated 3,000 taels of silver before being released home.

Then the men and horses of the court came after him. He hurriedly ran up the mountain, but since he was a local rich man, he was afraid of being famous and pigs were afraid of being strong, so he was donated another 3,000 taels.

The wife and concubine wanted to hold a distant son to receive incense, and the young children of the clan were ready to bear the 300 acres of paddy fields and a few big houses in order to compete for the sons of the house. They all wore filial piety clothes and ran to fight for filial piety, kneeling in front of the spirit and kowtowing. After kowtowing, he raised his head and saw that there was no filial man's name on the spirit card, and his name was not clear, so he fought in front of the coffin.

Many of the broken children of their own clan who did funerals also followed the group fight, and the number of people and hands was naturally very chaotic, I don't know which reckless man picked up a big tin wax platform in front of the coffin and flew up. knocked a filial son to the ground at once, and died on the spot.

As soon as everyone saw that there was a life lawsuit, they scattered in a hurry and ran away. The new patriarch had no choice, so he invited the county master to sit in a sedan chair. brought a large group of people such as the official servant to the countryside for an autopsy. Who knows that after eating all the hens in the village, what do you say that it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, you guys. It's better to open an ancestral hall family meeting to judge, and the new patriarch has no prestige or money, and no one will obey him. As a result, it was tossed and tossed, and the whole clan was also tossed and scattered, and my man simply took my family to Liaodong, and chose to live here again, alas! I'm counting on a new life. ”

Half of the boatload everyone laughed, and Uncle Huai said: "This sister-in-law, seeing that you are a new move-in, who wants to leave your hometown?" Our folks here have their own sufferings, we won't mention the past, we will be the villagers in the future, the big guys must watch and help each other, as long as we Han people can unite as one, there will be no bad people who dare to bully us, there is no blood in Liaodong is untenable, so call your man or son to join the militia regiment, we have to guard our hometown. ”

The woman was surprised and said, "What is a militia group?" ”

Uncle Wang is the head of the militia regiment, explaining: "The militia is not a military household, it is a team of villagers spontaneously formed by the common people, and the leaders are all military attaches who have led soldiers before. ”

"I see." The woman nodded and said, "That's it, I'll call my son to sign up when I go back." ”

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "You have to sign up, and every family has to have someone." Nowadays, there is no need to pay grain for farming, and sometimes if you become a militiaman, you will also go out to work, of course, you will be paid for your salary, and you will also pay for food. ”

"Yo! This Liaodong is really different everywhere and elsewhere. Immediately the woman rejoiced.

The eyes of the big guys all looked at Xu Hao, who was smiling and silent, intentionally or unintentionally, but Xu Hao was muttering: "New life!" New Life! ”

In the blue sky, a flock of geese are flying towards the south in a zigzag. The cargo ships by the river are on the stalls, more than a dozen slender men are crouching on the pebble beach, many large stones are exposed to the water, bleached by the sun, and there are five men and three women carrying heavy bamboo baskets on the road, and the baskets are full of handfuls of red mountain fruits and blue and yellow wildflowers.

Several people laughed and scolded along the road, and walked towards the dock together, and a slender man said to a young woman: "Big girl, you are really not afraid of crushing your shoulders, what strength!" You're afraid of more than 100 pounds, right? ”

The woman smiled and walked to the dock with a few other people, sat next to Xu Hao with his hands behind his back, looked up and shyly looked at the handsome and extraordinary man in front of him, and smiled silently.

The man on the dock smiled with a pun: "You don't know, the big girl is very capable, and she can withstand the pressure no matter how heavy it is." ”

The other two married women laughed when they heard this, and the girl with the most weight was tall, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and saw that he was less than twenty years old, and immediately scolded: "Guisheng, you have been cut by a thousand knives, you know nonsense all day long, be careful that I beat you." ”

The man smiled: "I didn't say anything, saying that you have good skills, you have a lot of back, and you are not afraid of being heavy, what offended you?" ”

The girl said, "It's none of your business if I carry more or less." After speaking, he secretly glanced at Xu Hao again, and his face flushed.

The man shouted: "As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, I'm obviously praising you, is it possible that the way of the world has changed, and people can't say good things?" ”

The girl said angrily: "You have a good mouth and a bad heart, your mouth is as sweet as honey, but you don't have a good heart in your stomach, do you think I don't understand?" ”

"Yo-he!" The man laughed, "You know what!" Tell us about it. ”

A great young man who came with him seemed to have some affection for the big girl, and said, "Come on! It's not peaches and plums, insects eat hearts, how can they be bad? ”

Xu Hao didn't understand this sentence, including the young man's dialect, he didn't understand it very well, now Liaodong is the same as the capital, immigrants from all over the country gather here, all kinds of customs and customs, lively is lively, but it also brings many disputes, often immigrants from all provinces tend to get together, and people from all over the province gather according to the region.

Because the imperial court did not send officials to the local authorities at the county level in Liaodong, the students who graduated from the new-style schools had a place to use, of course, just like the newly appointed scholars did not understand the people's feelings, and made all kinds of jokes, and it was inevitable that there were good and bad among these people, which caused a lot of public resentment and dissatisfaction.

The man seemed to be from the same place as the young girl, and said, "Really, it's not a peach or a plum, where can the heart be bad?" You're not clairvoyant, and something is broken from the inside, and you can't see it with your eyes. ”

It seems that this sentence secretly hurt the girl again, and the girl said angrily: "Rotten your tongue, death is expensive." ”

The man deliberately pretended not to understand, and asked rhetorically, "What did you say?" The tongue won't rot if you don't bite. ”

The girl scolded, "The dog bites you, and the mad dog bites your tongue." ”

The man was exactly the same as the man of later generations, and said with a smile: "Yes, the dog bites me." My tongue was bitten by a mad under a big tree. ”

Xu Haoxin said that there is something in this! It is worthy of a woman's house in Kanto, and when she saw that the eldest girl was in a hurry, she blushed and said, "What are you talking about?" Guisheng, if you say it again, I'll really turn my face. ”

The man glanced at the young man with a black face, and said with a hippie smile: "Xiaoqiu, don't be angry, just make trouble!" You scold me, you can't scold me. ”

The girl said, "You have a thief's mouth and a thief's tongue, and you will not die well in the future, and if you die, you will go to the hell of pulling out your tongue to suffer the living sin, and you will repay it now!" ”

A woman frowned and said, "Enough, why did you curse people?" Xiaoqiu, he loves to chew the root of his tongue, and he is a wind in his ears. ”

"He took advantage of me."

"Just let him do something, from the mouth and in the ear, which man is not like this?"

The man smiled more and more proudly: "Yes! Fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and the radish eyes are pulled, taking advantage of a small advantage, what is it? ”

The eldest girl, lest he become more presumptuous the more he talked, shook off the previous little things, and suddenly got up and picked up a branch to beat him. The man laughed and ran off into the distance.

The people who watched the excitement laughed, and the eldest girl turned to the respected old Wang and complained: "Uncle Wang, why don't you care? The men here have all become wild boars, weighing three hundred pounds, covered in skin and bones, with a single mouth that is useful, and a mouth that hurts people everywhere. ”

Uncle Wang said with a smile: "Aren't men and women just noisy and laughing at each other, we don't even have a singing here, and this day is boring." The mouth also has a use for the mouth, and if you mess around, you will sing some songs, and everyone can also follow along. ”

Xu Hao secretly kept this matter in mind, and it seemed that the later generations of the Turkish Communist Party were engaged in cultural life without a purpose, and it seemed that it was indeed a propaganda policy that could not only enrich the cultural fun of the people, but also educate and entertain, and it seemed that it was necessary to set up a political propaganda and cultural class in the school.
