After Weishan arrived in the village, he left the village again within two days and called his father and brothers home. Many men in the village also followed him.

The young and old men in Xiashan village crowded at Weishan’s home to discuss matters every day.

Xiashan Village is a closed hill, and almost every family can’t get enough food and clothing. Now I heard that there are so many fields outside the immigration clearance, and each of them is not calm.

Everyone doesn’t care that they can earn a cent of silver dollars every day when they open mountains and build roads. If what Weishan said is true, then no matter how many mountains and roads are dug, they can’t make such a profit.

Even the son of Mr. Wei, the only landlord in the village, comes every day. Although Mr. Wei is a landlord in the village, his family has only about 200 acres of land, and the fields in the mountains are thin, so he can't collect much grain in a year and does not have much other output. Therefore, the landlord is actually in an average family background.

Mr. Wei has many descendants, and this family will be passed on to his eldest son in the future. The other sons can only share some money according to the rules, but cannot share the land. Therefore, when he heard that one person could get one hundred acres of fertile land outside the immigration clearance, Mr. Wei's other sons were also a little moved.

At first, everyone didn't believe that there was such a good thing. There were only hail in the sky, so how could pies fall? As a result, within two days, Weishan left the mountain again and went to the county. Then when he came, he followed two people ate public food.

The immigration matter is now the top priority for local government offices and is mainly engaged in business. Under the examination and implementation of the various government offices, the tasks assigned by the above cannot be careless. If the tasks are not completed within a time limit, they will be deducted points and received bad reviews. If the points are deducted too much, they may be demoted or even directly removed from public office. Therefore, not only officials at all levels are very concerned, but even officials below are also concerned.

Nowadays, all the officials have increased their salaries, and no one is willing to throw away this public food errand.

According to the will of the court, Shandong Province would immigrate to Liaobei Province, and Shandong Province would also be divided into prefectures. At that time, the immigrants from each prefecture were assigned to each other, and after arriving in Liaobei, a corresponding new prefecture was built.

Yishui County is affiliated to Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, which is adjacent to Yanzhou Prefecture in the south, Jinan in the west, and Laizhou Prefecture in the east. Because it belongs to the Yimeng Mountains, it is considered a relatively poor place in Shandong.

The above task is to immigrate one million to Liaobei Province, while the above task is to immigrate 200,000 to Qingzhou Prefecture. The above task is to immigrate 200,000 to Yishui County.

The tasks that were transferred layer by layer were pressing on the heads of the officials in Yishui County.

Qingzhou is a big prefecture, but Yishui is a poor county. However, although it is poor, it has a large population, but it is also a difficult task to immigrate to 20,000 yuan.

The county officials have been thinking about how to complete this arduous task recently. After all, although the conditions given by the court are good, ordinary people may not believe it. Moreover, even if they are poor, some people are still hard to leave their hometowns.

At this time, Wei Shan took the initiative to come, which undoubtedly made the county very happy.

The county master clapped his hands and immediately sent two officials to go down the mountain with Weishan to formally introduce the imperial immigration plan to them.

We must strive to mobilize them to immigrate.

Once the county's tolerance comes, the same words are said, but it is much more convincing when they say it from their mouths.

According to the tolerance, this was the plan of the court and the emperor's personal decree. Some people were moved from Shandong to Liaobei, where they settled down and lived in peace and gave land.

"Don't worry, everyone, the court is thinking about everyone's concern. The situation in your village is now. In the deep mountains, the roads are blocked and the fields are very small. The villagers have lived here for generations. Life has been very poor. When you go out to the mountains, you have to walk forty or fifty miles of mountain roads. Usually, you have to walk for half a day to buy salt. It is too inconvenient, especially the young master of the field."

"The village has more than 100 households. The population is over 1,000, but each person is less than one acre of land on average. Throughout the year, he can't even get enough food and clothing. Most of the boys in the village can't marry a wife in their twenties. Xiashan Village is famous for being poor and famous. When other villages hear that it is from Xiashan Village, they refuse to let the matchmaker come in."

The old and young men in Xiashan Village lowered their heads embarrassedly as they heard the words of the conscripts. They were telling the truth.

"If you think about change, change will be clear. Now there is a good opportunity in front of everyone. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The court expanded its territory outside the pass and built a large area of ​​land. You know, Liaobei, just north of Liaoxi and Liaodong. We went out from Denglai to the sea in Shandong, took a boat to the Bohai Bay to Lushun, the Liaodong Peninsula, and headed north. It was north of Liaoning. It was like both sides of the Liao River, and it was all endless plains. It was not like ours. It was not as mountains as we did. It was difficult to see a mountain there. It was all flat land and the water was rich."

The tolerance depicted the Songnen Plain, which he learned from the information above, but also said it was similar.

"You don't have to worry about how to go there. The court will be responsible. Those who are willing to go will first go to the government to register, and then the court will arrange it for you. At that time, all the people in our county will be lined up together. When the spring is next year, when it is ready, they will go out together. The court will prepare cars and horses for you, prepare food on the road, and even send troops to escort, arrange doctors to follow, and provide tents to ensure smooth and safe roads."

"When you get there, you don't have to worry. By then, the immigration from one county will be arranged to be held. When we get there, we will build a township. When we get there, we will all be divided into a township. There will be people there to help us build Tunbao Village. In the first year, everyone will join forces to reclaim land, help each other, build houses and villages, and build water conservancy."

"When we get used to it a year later, Tunzhuang Village is built, and everyone will live their own fields. As long as we are willing to work hard, there will be no fields. Don't worry, the court will also provide us with renting oxen, horses, farm tools, seeds, etc."

"The newly reclaimed fields will be exempted from taxes for the first three years."

"If you are willing to immigrate to Liaobei, the court will also provide 20 yuan in settlement fees for each household and provide 100 yuan in interest-free loans."

Everyone was moved when they heard what the official said so well.

Xiashan Village is indeed too poor. In the past, everyone stayed in the mountains every day, but they didn’t feel that it was too much. This year, following the county arranged to go out to build roads, which broadened their horizons and saw the outside world. Only then did they realize that compared with other people in Qingzhou, they were indeed far apart.

However, Liaobei is far away after all, and we have to cross the ocean to go to Liaodong first and then to the north. I don’t know where this north is going, but everyone is worried about the Hulu. I heard that Liaobei was the territory of Mongolia and Jurchens in the past. If everyone goes, are they willing?

While having breakfast, Wei Shan's father looked at his son. The breakfast at home was made of French fries and vermicelli. He cooked a big pot and the whole family had a great time.

Wei Shan’s father asked, “Big Bo, what do you think? Liaobei is really so good?”

"That's what the court said, I believe in the court." Wei Shan put down his chopsticks and said to his father, "Dad, look at the current court, after the new emperor ascended the throne, have we lived a much better life? In the past, the government collected grain and taxes every year, so how could we live a good day? Now, the court has reduced rent and interest rates. Not only does the government not come to increase taxes, but also organizes us to build roads and make money. In the past, we also went to build roads and cities, but we didn't bring our own dry food, so how could we still have money?"

"Now the court is different from the Ming Dynasty in the past. Dad, look at the scene of prosperity everywhere outside. I am even more lively in Qingdao. I really don't want to continue to stay in this small mountain village, but I can only take on work and work outside. Now the court has built Xinjiang territory and distributed land to those who are willing to move. How can I miss such a good thing?"

Wei Shan's father's eyes fell to his wife, his wife's head was half white and her teeth fell two times. "What do you think?"

Wei Shan's mother said, "Who knows what we women know? We have been in this mountain for a lifetime and don't know the outside world. But if we go to Liaobei, there is really something as good as the official said, go." She thought it was relatively simple, only knowing that her four sons had not yet asked for their daughter-in-law, and the family could not provide the money to ask for their daughter-in-law.

If you go to Liaobei and have land, not to mention one hundred acres per person, or ten acres per person, life will be very different.

Wei Shan's father hesitated with chopsticks. He was over fifty years old and was still hesitant about leaving his hometown for thousands of miles to go to Liaobei. The family's ancestral tombs and ancestral temples, and the four married daughters were also married nearby. If he went to Liaobei, would he see each other again in the future?

He was still a little afraid of leaving his hometown.

"Big kid, why don't you go with the second child, the third child and the fourth child are still young, so stay here with the little girl and us." After hesitating for a long time, Dad Wei finally made a suggestion.

Wei Shan looked at his father and said nothing.

He believed in the court and hoped that the family could move together. However, his father proposed this plan, and he was also prepared.

"Big kid, that's what I think. Your brother and sister are still young, and the family is moving thousands of miles away. I feel a little uneasy. Why don't you and your second brother go first. If you get there, it's really the same as the government said. When you have settled down, we can come again at that time."

This is also on the safe side, it is a farmer-like wisdom. Eggs cannot be placed in one basket.

Wei Shan thought about it but did not persuade his father.

"That's fine, then my second brother and I will sign up first tomorrow, and we will have to leave after spring next year."

The third brother Wei Jun was dissatisfied at this time, "Dad, I want to go too, I don't want to stay at home." Wei Jun is already sixteen years old, and he is very impatient. After going outside to build roads, he was also very open to his horizons and had no attachment to the backward small mountain village.

After thinking about it, Wei's father thought about it, he saw that his third son was determined and had to give in. "You can go there, you can't do it, but you won't let the second son stay."

The second brother Wei He shook his head immediately, "I'm going to Liaobei."

You all go, the fourth brother is at home with me." Dad Wei was helpless.

The fourth brother also wanted to follow his brothers, but Wei Shan immediately said, "Fourth brother, stay at home first and take good care of our parents. When we have our feet there, we can pick you up at that time."

There are many families in Xiashan Village like the Wei family, and most of them did not choose to move their whole family in the end, but the elderly stayed, and one or two of the few sons stayed.

In the end, more than 300 people registered with the official officers and were willing to immigrate to Liaobei.

Wei Shan took his second and third brothers to report his name to the official councillor, and solemnly pressed his handprint together. (To be continued.)
