Daming One Piece

Chapter 117 Dividing Fields

It's like dreaming!
Chen Li, who was on the boat, looked at the sea and sky line in the distance with some emotion. Two days after leaving Phi Island, the weather was not so cold, which made them feel a lot more comfortable. After all, before that, they were sitting On the deck, not to mention being blown by the biting cold wind, and a wave of waves came over, it was terribly cold, even if it was covered with a layer of canvas to block some water, it would not be comfortable.

If it weren't for the quilts wrapped under the canvas, they would have froze to death on board.

But even so, he was still glad to be on this boat. After all, he could not only eat, but also be full on the boat!

God bless you, when you arrive in Beigang, you will be able to have enough food every day in the future!

The further south the fleet traveled, the warmer the weather became.

All the way to the south, on the eighth day after leaving Phi Island, when he was drowsy under the warm sun, Chen Li heard someone shout from the boat.

"It's here, it's here! Look, it's Beigang..."

Chen Li squeezed to the side like the others, looked out, there was nothing in the vast sea.

"Who are they lying to..."

Before the words fell, someone shouted.

"Look, there's a boat! What are they doing?"

Looking in the direction of other people's fingers, I saw a few small boats on the sea, gliding with all their strength, and they kept throwing things into the sea, rolling waves on the sea from time to time.

"Haha, you haven't seen it, have you? They are hunting whales. Seeing a whaling ship is equivalent to arriving at Beigang!"

Sun Zilin shouted at them.

"When you arrive in Beigang, you will have a good time. Not only can you eat white rice every meal, but you can also eat meat, which is the whale meat they caught!"

Whale meat?

What is whale meat?

For the Liaodong refugees on the ship, they didn't even know what a whale was, even many people who had read books had never heard of it.

But that didn't stop them from drooling.

meal!
meat!
In the anticipation of everyone, the fleet quickly sailed into the mouth of Beixi River, and went upstream along the mouth of the river to Beigang.

From time to time, the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse, there will be ships sailing into Beigang every once in a while. The ships are all from Liaodong. The sailors on board are both Fujianese and Liaodong, and most of the passengers are Liaodong refugees.

Compared with the severe cold in Liaodong, by the end of the first month, the ice and snow on the Beigang side had melted. For the Liaodong refugees who arrived in Beigang, they were all shocked when they saw the green trees on both sides of the river.

"This, this is the first month!"

"No, there is no snow in the field!"

For the people who have lived in Liaodong for generations, it is hard for them to imagine that Beigang in the first month will be such a spring scene, and they will inevitably feel a little nervous when they are not used to it.

"Brother Chen, he will go ashore later, you have to be careful."

Wu Zhewei reminded softly,

Since the fall of Liaodong a few years ago, when the refugees from Liaodong entered the customs first, they have not been welcomed by others, like birds and birds.Fighting to enter the state, but the state does not see mercy, votes in the county, but the county does not accept it, and even deceivers point out that they are rebellious against the party, and those who wear swords are regarded as robbers.

Even now, even if they have General Mao as their guarantor, they will inevitably be a little nervous when they arrive for the first time. After all, this is their territory, and when they are on their territory, it is a dragon or a tiger. Then you have to lie down. As for them...then just be grandchildren obediently.

As long as he can live a peaceful life, so what if he is a grandson?

"I know!"

Looking at the daughter-in-law beside him, Chen Li snorted. He silently touched the handle of the knife, and looked at the green trees on the bank, his eyes full of vigilance.

When the boat approached the trestle bridge, it was the familiar local accent that came oncoming.

"Brother, where are you from?"

The strong man standing by the trestle bridge and holding a spear shouted loudly.

"Phi Phi Island."

"I mean before, our hometown was in Jinzhou, how about you?"

……

Everything makes people feel a little strange. Why do they feel this way? Originally, Chen Li and the others were already prepared to be bullied by the locals. They also came from Liaodong, they were all homeless refugees.

And here, what awaits them?

Standing in front of the table, Chen Li answered the scribe's questions one by one. It was nothing more than his name, how old he was, and where his ancestral home was. Most of the questions were like this.

"Can you farm?"

"Farming?"

Chen Li was surprised.

"Yes, it's farming. Will you be able to plant paddy fields?"

The scribe asked again.

"Yes, yes, sir, our area is the earliest rice planting place in Liaodong. People have been planting rice since the Zhengtong period. What we make snacks is rice, and what we plant is rice. How can we not grow it? ?”

Rice was widely planted in Liaodong in Ming Dynasty!

This is absolutely beyond everyone's expectations. In fact, as early as the Hongwu period, when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Liaodong Army, there were many villages planting rice. Firstly, it was because there were Korean prisoners in the army, and secondly, because Liaodong itself was Rice producing area.As early as the Tang Dynasty, rice in Lucheng in Liaodong had been offered as a tribute. After the rise of Khitan at the end of Tang Dynasty, because rice fields affected cavalry, Khitan talents banned rice cultivation.However, all of this was ultimately destroyed by Jiannu. After Jiannu occupied Liaodong, millions of Liao people were either killed or fled to the interior. I don't know that Liaodong was also the main rice producing area in history, and Liaodong rice was even the first-class rice grain in the capital market in Ming Dynasty.It was after the twentieth century that Northeast rice appeared in front of the world again.

People in Liaodong are good at growing rice, which was a bit unexpected, but it also made Shi Yiwen breathe a sigh of relief. After all, the climatic conditions in Beigang are more suitable for growing rice, not wheat or sorghum.

Therefore, if you encounter refugees who can grow rice, you can directly divide the land.

"Just know how to grow rice. Just go over there with your number plate and wait. It's just beginning of spring now. When you finish your training and arrive at the place, you can plant the field properly."

farming...

Chen Li looked at the scribe in surprise.

"Master, plant, plant, I have a field?"

"Look at what you said, if you don't farm, you can raise you for nothing. According to the rules of our Beigang, the two of you will get [-] acres of land. The seeds and tools will be provided by the government. You will be exempted from rent for two years, and you will only be returned to the government for growing grain and farm tools. , starting to pay [-]% of the rent in the third year..."

Hearing the scribe's words, Chen Li couldn't believe his ears.

He has a field!

And there are thirty acres.When Chen Li was so surprised that he couldn't speak, the daughter-in-law beside him burst into tears.

"Brother, brother, we, our family has another field, this, does this field belong to our family?"
