Zhao Xuan immigrated from the Jianghuai River. It is now called Huainan Province. It is a rich place with rivers intersecting, and the plains are endless. There is no mountain in the ten miles and eight villages, and it is a land of fishing and rice.

However, growing in that wealthy place, the Zhao Xuan family was extremely poor. His father and brothers originally grew up in the south of the Yangtze River. Later, after the demise of the Chen Kingdom, they crossed the river and went to Huainan. The official gave land, but Huainan had a large population and a small land area. According to the system, each land was only 100 acres per land, but the two brothers were only divided into twenty acres of land, which was barely enough for the family to support their lives. When encountering natural disasters and insect pests, it was completely impossible. Therefore, the two brothers usually rented the fields for others to farm, and when their families were free, they had to go to the dock to take on work. Zhao Xuan was herding cattle for the landlord's family.

The family suffered ten years and poured their blood and sweat on the land. Year by year, they slowly saved some money and purchased some land. However, the father, uncle and brothers gave birth to many children. Sixteen men from the two families lived together, and men, women, young and old had to rely on those dozens of acres of land, and their lives were still in a difficult situation. So they could only rent more land and take on work during the slack farm. Even the children went to herd cattle and sheep for the landlord's house and made a living like Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan was the third son of his father and ranked seventh in the family. His father and brother came to Huainan to live, marry and have children. There were fourteen cousins ​​and six sisters. The poorer they were, the more they were, the poorer they were. When his father and uncle arrived in Huainan, they barely got twenty acres of land, but after that, their brothers became a family, but there was no one acre of land to be divided.

The Zhao family heard the government's publicizing the fact that the imperial court wanted to immigrate to northern Xinjiang. After hearing that immigrants could have land, each of which was 100 acres, and even women could have land. Zhao Xuan's father and uncle were moved. The two brothers worked hard all their lives, and now the family has indeed grown up. The next generation has sixteen males, but there are no land to settle down. Only a few of the fourteen nephews got married and got married. Most of them were old enough to get married, but they could not find a suitable family because they could not afford to pay gifts or build a new house. Even the girls did not find any good families. The two brothers summoned their children and nephews to discuss and finally decided to sign up to Liaodong.

Originally, it was planned to go to western Liaoning, but the imperial court recovered Liaodong last year. More immigrants were needed to go to Liaodong. In order to encourage the people to immigrate to Liaodong, the imperial court even offered special preferential conditions for each male to go to Liaodong that could be divided into 200 acres of land, and married women could also be divided into 100 acres of land. In addition, the government provided travel expenses to send them to Liaodong. There were benefits such as settlement fees in advance. In the end, the Zhao family decided that since they were going to be detained outside the pass, it was better to go directly to Liaodong. The land in western Liaoning was doubled.

After the discussion, the Zhao family signed up to the government. Many families could not show the courage of the Zhao family. Although their families were poor, they only asked their concubines or second sons to sign up for Liaodong. Few, like the Zhao family, sold all the little land, houses and property in their homes to the government for recycling. Then they took the ancestral tablets and the whole family to go to Liaodong. However, according to Uncle Zhao Xuan's words, when the two brothers were in Jiangdong, they were just humans.

The family's tenant farmers later arrived in Huainan and were assigned to twenty acres of their own land. Through hard work, the next generation of the family had fourteen males, but they continued to stay in Huainan. The family would only live the poor days when they were in Jiangdong. In the future, the children and nephews could only take the work of the landlords to carry the work of renting tenants and farming. There was no day to make a comeback. Since that was the case, it would be better to go to Liaodong to make a breakthrough. Although they were old, the two brothers were still unwilling to stay and would rather go north together.

The hometown is hard to get away from, and it is not as tempting as the new land. Survival is always difficult, but there is a glimmer of good opportunities, and no one is willing to miss it.

The migration process was much easier than the Zhao family imagined. Everything was organized by the government. The immigrants from Shouchun County formed a team of more than 1,000 people, most of whom were young men who were not married, without any worries, and some were like the Zhao family. The more than 1,000 people were organized by the government and sent several clerks and more than ten yamen runners to accompany them. The government also organized more than 100 horse-drawn carriages and brought tents and other items. Some families also had their own carriages and ox carriages. On the way, the men were walking and were organized into several teams, and sent some spears and swords, guards, women and children and old men sat in the carriages pulling their luggage. They were not slow all the way, and they walked on the scheduled route every day, without having to bring too much food, etc.

Along the avenue, every other distance, there will be a supply station on the side of the road. Most of them are in the inn, which store a lot of supplies. The court specially prepared for these immigrants. There are doctors and doctors who will help them check their bodies. Therefore, everyone can walk very easily. Even on the way, in addition to organizing a male guard team, the yamen runners of the government will also teach them some martial arts according to the order. It is said that this is also the order of the court, saying that after arriving in Liaodong, some martial arts can better protect themselves and immigrants. At the same time, every night, the officials accompanying the team will organize them to read and recognize words, teach them pinyin, teach them some abbreviation words and calculation methods, and even teach them some simple Hu languages ​​such as Goguryeo, Khitan, and Turks.

Zhao Xuan has the talent to recognize words. He had been studying in the last days and had never read books. But along the way, he learned a lot of words, and even wrote the name of a family on the mud with branches. Although it was a bit crooked, it was all right. Zhao Xuan's name was the name Liu Shuli who was surprised by his talent. It was originally named Goudan, and it was this name since he was a child. According to the meaning of a countryman saying that it is easy to support him, he was called it since he was a child. He was called it since he was a child, and he did not say that he wanted to get a name when he grew up. His father and uncle couldn't think of it, but he wanted to ask someone to name it, which would cost money. The fourteen brothers were mostly such pigs, dogs, cats, stone trees.

According to this type of name, his name is Goudan. Among his brothers, there is also a named Xigou and Ergou. There was also a cousin even named Goumei. He didn't think anything before, but now after he has a big digit, he immediately felt that those names are too high. For this reason, he specially begged his husband to choose a big digit for their brothers. The gentleman is very kind. It is said that he had never studied before and was a poor man, but he worked as a soldier for the emperor. Later, he retired and returned to his hometown due to injury. Because of his honor, he was able to enter the county government office and became a clerk. He also learned to read and calculate in the army. Liu Shuli took a big digit for the Zhao brothers, all of which were fireside.

My father and uncle were very happy about the new names of their sons and nephews, which was obtained by Liu Shuli. It didn't cost a penny. But the old seventh Goudan was loved by Liu Shuli, and taught Liu Shuli to read and read, and the two brothers were even happier. It was amazing to be able to read, read, read, read, read, read, and read, how could they have such an opportunity before. It was just a chance for the children of the landlords and families. Now Liu Shuli is so generous, and he teaches everyone to read without money. Although they actually read, they can't remember to learn, so they barely learned to recognize their own names.

The words are always wrong. However, everyone is still very grateful to Liu Shuli and the others. Although it is said that this is the order of His Majesty the Holy Emperor, everyone still raised some money on the way. Then when passing a supply station, they spent money to buy several banquets, buy some gifts, and serve as a thank-you banquet, invite Liu Shuli and the others to drink together. They also specially asked Zhao Xuan and a few young people who were a little successful in learning to give formal apprenticeship to Liu Shuli and the others. Liu Shuli refused several times. Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm was not the case, they had to accept a few young disciples, and they looked happy.

There were arrangements from the court along the way. After a few months, they finally arrived in Liaodong from Huainan. No one in the team lost, and no one died of illness. Thanks to the supply station arranged by the government along the way, the doctors and medicinal materials there, and Liu Shuli in the accompanying team, there would also be some simple treatment. Everyone arrived in Liaodong smoothly.

More than a thousand people from Shouchun County, Shouzhou, Huainan were eventually placed in Fuyuchuan, Liaobei Province. Just fifty miles west of Fuyu Wangcheng, the capital of Fuyu Kingdom, were established there. According to the imperial court's plan, these immigrants basically set up a trunk according to their hometowns, immigrants from one county or one state at the time. In this way, everyone comes from the same place, speaks the same words and takes care of them, and can be more united and taken care of each other. Moreover, according to the imperial court's plan, the first three years of immigrants must be hoarded and reclaimed land together. After three years, they can all equalize the land and cultivate themselves according to the plan. At the beginning, they must establish a trunk together, live together, and reclaim land together.

In the three years since the beginning of land reclamation, the court would lend them seeds, furniture, oxen, etc., and provide them with a settlement fee and interest-free loan to help them survive the first three years.

Of course, the court also prepared a great benefit for them, which was to provide blind dates for young men who had no wives who had reached the age of married men, and arrange for them to get married for the native natives of Liaodong to marry. Then they did not need to pay the bride price, and the government helped them solve the problem. Of course, if they were willing to give it to them, the government would not object.

Anyway, this is good news that excites all immigrants.

Shouchuntun is a temporary camp for the time being, with no houses or walls, and nothing. After arriving here, everything has to be done by oneself. Fortunately, there are officials who come to help and guide them on how to dig wells, build houses, and set up walls. According to the government's plan, although Shouchuntun is just a small residence for immigrants, it also has its own walls and its own militia. After the Tun Fort was established, someone had to stand guard and wait for the night. According to the official, although there were large imperial troops stationed in Liaobei, there could not be any slackness. It was necessary to prevent some thieves or some unwilling Goguryeo aristocratic landlords, etc.

Through explanation, Zhao Xuan realized that when Goguryeo ruled here, most of the land here actually belonged to a very small number of nobles and landlords and powerful people, and most of the Goguryeo people were actually just their tenants and even slaves. After the imperial court regained the land of Liaodong, they adopted different policies and treatments for these original Goguryeo residents. After review, all the nobles and powerful landlords were sentenced directly to the severity of the people who were powerful and blessed and evil, and then they were sentenced to severity, sent to serve labor, mine and build roads, and their property was confiscated. For those who had no bad records, they were moved to the Central Plains, and their fields, mountains and forests and other industries were purchased at a discount by the court, and finally they were given some land and property in the resettlement land.

For ordinary tenant farmers and slaves, it is much better. The slaves were separated from their original masters. They were placed in various military farms or mines. As long as they served for five years, they could obtain free status. Then, they could serve the court for five years and be transferred from a employed worker to a formal citizen of the Great Sui Empire. They could obtain the qualification to grant land equal land and be assigned to their own land. These slaves served the court in the first five years, and the court only provided them with food and drink, and a small amount of allowance. In the second five years, they could receive the salary of employment, and then, they were their masters and had their own land.

For those tenant farmers, or self-cultivated farmers with a small portion of the land, they basically maintain their situation and their property is protected, but they have to support the court's policies and regulations, pay taxes to the court, serve in the military service, and have to allow unmarried daughters of marriageable age to register in the government, participate in blind dates, and get married to Han people. Their underage children have to enter the schools established by the government to learn the Han culture, and adults also have to learn Chinese language, and at the same time change the Han people's clothing system.

These policies are all for the purpose of allowing the court to rule Liaodong and Liaobei for a long time. The different treatments of the indigenous people were also for winning over the vast majority and hitting a few. To be more precise, it was to suppress the aristocratic landlords, both for politically eliminating Goguryeo's rule and for seizing Goguryeo's land, mountains, forests, minerals and other resources. Otherwise, when the immigrants come, they will give the land equally, and would they give the Goguryeo landlords a lot of land?
