NFBE Chapter 218
Chapter 218
Chapter 218
No one thought that the people of the Song Dynasty would not want to go away, because the emperor Zhao Shen mentioned in the imperial decree that King Zhenbei would send his wife away.
Although these people yearn for houses, wives and fertile land, many people are still unwilling to stay away from their homeland.
But as soon as King Zhenbei was mentioned in the imperial decree, these people were all excited!
It turns out that King Zhenbei is there, so why worry about it, our God of War is there!
First of all, people from poor families and living a very difficult life signed up one after another.
Later, those families with many children and too little land, who could not support a large family, began to sign up to go to Annan and other places to farm.
For a while, the [-]-foot-high boats and large transport ships of the Changshengying Navy were busy, and batches of Song people were sent from various places to Annan and Champa.
Xiao Qi really didn't expect that so many people in the Song Dynasty would come here willingly. Originally, he thought that most of the criminals would be dispatched here, and few other people would come here.
Unexpectedly, besides the first batch of more than 20 criminals, there are more than [-] young and strong people who are willing to come here just by sending the list that has been registered.
Upon receiving this news, Xiao Qi was both happy and worried.
The happy thing is that the people of the Song Dynasty are willing to come here, and my plan to completely assimilate the people here into Han people is half successful. After decades, this place will definitely firmly become the territory of the Han people.
What worries me is that I underestimated the enthusiasm of the people who are willing to come here, and the houses and fields I prepared are only enough for 15 people.
Now there are more than 35 people just registering to come here.
Moreover, the entire Song Dynasty has now set off an upsurge of people moving south. It is estimated that after the implementation of the whole plan in three to five years, the number of people in the Song Dynasty who will come here will exceed one million.
Xiao Qi quickly ordered Lin Zheng to dispatch [-] infantry troops to mobilize a large number of prisoners of war who had not yet had time to transport them away, and began to plan new villages and land for the Han people, build new houses for them and make new farm tools.
Fortunately, because of the rich grain production here, and the lazy men here, there are a lot of idle uncultivated land, so it is very easy to resettle 200 million Song people.
If those slopes and hills are also reclaimed, there will be no problem at all for the easy resettlement of 500 million Song people.
Because I didn't expect so many people from the Song Dynasty to come, and I was not prepared enough.
Xiao Qi once again ordered that the newly arrived prisoners from the Song Dynasty who were allocated land would not have to pay taxes for the first year. After each person came, they would be given ten acres of land and a house, and enough food for a year.
Those people who voluntarily moved to the south will be treated better. If the family comes together, the land will be [-] acres per head, a large house and an open space for future housing, enough food for a year for the family, and tax exemption. Give two years.
As for those young and single people, each of them will be given a local woman of the right age to be his wife. The man will have [-] acres of land, and the woman will be given [-] acres of land, a house, food for a year and no tax for a year.
If anyone is willing to reclaim wasteland by himself, he will be given two years of grain, and each person will be allowed to reclaim [-] mu of wasteland.
Even the local woman who married him was allowed to reclaim [-] acres of wasteland, and the newly reclaimed wasteland would not have to pay taxes for three years.
Of course, those local women who wanted to marry the people of the Song Dynasty could not be robbed. Xiao Qi specially sent people to register all the unmarried local women of the right age.
And sent people to publicize them, as long as they marry a Han man, they will become Song people and enjoy all the treatment of Song women.
Xiao Qi especially made people publicize that there was a law in the Song Dynasty, although a woman is dominated by her own man after marriage, but a man is not allowed to beat and scold his wife at will, and if the wife is obviously injured, the government will punish that man.
The most important thing is that as long as a woman in the Song Dynasty gives birth to a child, each child will be given a maintenance fee of copper coins, and the child will enjoy all the treatment of the Song people as soon as it is born.
Anyone who is willing to marry a man from the Song Dynasty can sign up. In the future, if there are single men from the Song Dynasty, the government will match them.
Local women have always been men's appendages and have no status in the family. It's okay for those who are married. Their ancestors have come here like this, and they have long been used to this kind of life.
Of those unmarried girls, who hasn't fantasized about marrying a man who knows the cold and the hot?
Xiao Qi's propaganda, for those local unmarried women, is simply a life like a princess, so almost all the unmarried women have signed up, expressing their willingness to marry a man from the Song Dynasty.
Although Xiao Qi also knew that this would arouse the jealousy and hatred of the local men, he didn't care about it. It would be better for those people to die alone, so that the date of assimilation would be greatly advanced.
And it can make gaps between themselves, which is more beneficial to the control of Song Dynasty.
So Xiao Qi organized a lot of people who used to live at the junction of the two countries and knew the languages of the two places to teach these women Chinese, and strive to enable these women to communicate with Han people as soon as possible.
In order for the women here to experience the benefits of being a woman in the Song Dynasty, he also asked Lin Zheng to find a rough-skinned and thick-skinned criminal from among the criminals.
The advantage of asking him to help with acting is that after the play is over, he will be restored to his status as an ordinary person immediately, the fertile land will be changed from ten acres to twenty acres, and he will be given a buffalo for farming.
That person agreed without even thinking about it, isn't it just twenty big boards?
Brother can bear it, and besides, not only will you become an innocent citizen all at once, but you can also choose a satisfactory daughter-in-law by yourself.
So Lin Zheng led him secretly, and went for a long walk around the several language classes that were in session.
This guy only transferred to a study class, and fell in love with a local woman. He said that he would not transfer any more, and just said that he would not transfer.
The woman was promised to this boy the next day, but he was overjoyed.
But if you are happy, you are happy, and the strategy you set must be implemented.
Within a few days, the woman went to the study class and cried to the woman who taught them Chinese, saying, “Didn’t you say that Han people are not allowed to beat their wives without reason?”
Why was I beaten just a few days after I got married?
The woman became angry when she heard it, and dragged her to the newly established county government office to file a complaint, because the incident was said in a study class, and those women who learned Chinese also followed to watch the fun.
The new county official Shengtang asked what was going on, and without a word, he sent the yamen servant to catch the guy in the lobby.
As a result of the first trial, it turned out that it was a misunderstanding caused by the language barrier between the two. The man felt sorry for the woman's hard work, and asked her to rest at home and go to work in the field by herself.
A woman thinks that a man thinks she is not doing a good job, so she must go to work in the field and let the man stay at home.
As a result, they fought back and forth, and the two quarreled. Although the two did not understand the language, the man felt that the woman said bad things from the woman's tone of voice, and felt that it was okay for the woman to scold the man as soon as she got married.
So he held her there and beat her up, and then came here.
Originally, the woman was very aggrieved, and felt that she was beaten for doing all kinds of work at home, which was a terrible loss.
Now, after hearing the explanation from the woman who taught them Chinese, I realized that there was a big oolong. It turned out that this man treated me so well, but I misunderstood him.
Immediately asked the county magistrate, saying that he would not sue, and wanted to go home with his man and live a good life.
The county magistrate had long been in collusion with Lin Zheng and the boy who was waiting to be beaten, how could he just let it go!
The verdict was pronounced in court, saying that the man who beat his wife for no reason should be hit fifty times. Since the misunderstanding between the two was caused by a language barrier, they could be given a lighter sentence of twenty times as a warning.
In the future, no matter what the reason is, if you beat your wife again, you can't lose [-] big boards.
The woman panicked, and quickly kowtowed to say no, and begged the master not to hit her.
The county magistrate stared at him: "Do you think I am just playing with the law of the Song Dynasty? Don't say any more, or you will be beaten too!"
The man hurriedly persuaded the woman, saying that he had misunderstood his wife, and beating his wife for no reason is indeed punishable. Now that you didn’t scold me at that time, I actually hit you.
When the county magistrate saw it, I choked him. I didn't expect that this tall and thick guy looked like a rough guy, but he turned out to be a fox at heart. I was so upset with the county magistrate that I broke into a cold sweat!
He reached out and grabbed a small wooden sign with the word "Ling Ling" in his hand, and threw it down: "After beating the twenty big boards quickly, I will definitely improve this stupid man's memory, and he will never beat his wife for no reason again!"
The yamen servants below came over and pressed the guy there with a crackling of twenty boards, until the guy screamed 'ow' and 'ow'.
