Travel through space and help the prince’s husband in construction

Chapter 126: Life from hell to heaven inspires surnames to work hard to build a new home

The eldest and second eldest children both had the idea that there were many particularly poor farmers in their fiefdoms. In the eyes of the boss and the second child, these people are burdens that should not exist in the world. They are worried about how to drive these poor ghosts out of their fiefdom.

Soon, a decree was issued in the fiefdom of the eldest and second eldest brother. Xiao Yunyan and others posted a notice recruiting migrants, and also provided a preferential policy, that is, farmers who moved out of their fiefdoms could receive a travel subsidy of three taels of silver.

Although this subsidy is too small, a family of eight or nine would have to spend at least twenty taels when migrating from south to north. These three taels of silver are not enough for anything. However, for those who originally wanted to migrate, it was an unexpected gain.

Although many people living in the south or east want to go out and have a try, they are afraid that it will be inconvenient to live in the northwest with their families, so many families have been hesitant.

In order to strengthen these people's confidence in migrating, not only a migration subsidy of three taels per household was issued, but also a decree that determined all poor people to migrate: all farmers in the fiefdom must pay 10% more tax to the feudal lord every year.

The six western and northern state capitals will usher in the first wave of migration in mid-February of the next year. They were all moved from nearby state capitals.

Fortunately, the Yamen had made preparations early when they arrived at the six counties in the west and north. New villages have been built one after another.

Xiao Yunyan asked these managers to first consider regional issues when forming new villages.

People who migrate from one place should be placed in the same village as much as possible. They were even allowed to name the new village after the place where they originally lived. The purpose is to give these people who have left their homes some psychological comfort.

The poor people who migrated saw the new village as if they were in paradise. The family was assigned an exquisite courtyard house. Everyone had the same expression, first surprised, then burst into tears. The whole family hugged each other and cried bitterly. Later, I visited my new home with great joy. Houses are allocated to young and old. They were very surprised to find that these houses were allocated according to people, and everyone had a spacious living environment.

Such living conditions are like rising from hell to heaven. There is no need for them to purchase any furniture. Bedsheets and bedding are all ready-made. And the quality is extremely good. They only need to buy some firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea and then they can live a happy life.

Xiao Yunyan considered that these people had traveled a long distance and might have spent all the money they had with them, and was worried that they would not have money to open a fire and eat. Therefore, the first meal was delivered to them by the Yamen servants.

Then every household went to receive free daily necessities. Each household was given a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, four cabbages, and four radishes. Half a catty of pork per person, ten eggs per person, one catty of fat per person, two packets of salt, and two bottles of vinegar.

Although the supplies distributed to everyone are not distributed per person, every household has enough food for a few days. After you finish eating the vegetable condiments, you can still pick them up. Meat and eggs are distributed every half month.

Among the families who migrated here, I didn’t find that there were too few people. There were at least five or more people. The largest family has more than thirty people.

Households with too many people are directly divided into several households based on small families. For example, there are more than thirty people in a family. Four sons, a pair of elderly people, and three daughters.

The sons are raising their own small families, and the daughter is unmarried. Then you can choose to give each son a small house. The old man and his daughter were divided into a small house. It can also be combined freely, and the two sons can be divided into one suit.

Because there are more housing types, more houses are built. So there are many ways to choose from, try to meet their requirements.

In their hometown, they were no better than pigs and dogs, and they were the lowest level of the poor who were exploited. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in a new place, they were like wanderers returning home from afar, being taken care of by the government in every possible way.

All the people who migrated here were very grateful that their ancestors had blessed them and God had blessed them and allowed them to live such a happy life in the future.

What makes them most happy is that the vegetable garden they are equipped with is large enough. In the future, the vegetables produced will be enough for a family's snacks, and there may even be a surplus that can be sold to the people in the county or prefecture.

Datian is also distributed according to population. In addition to the allocated fields, you can also open up wasteland. There are large tracts of wasteland around. As long as people are diligent, they can open as many acres as they want.

Newly opened land does not need to pay taxes for three years. The taxes paid after three years will be less than half of the amount paid in the original hometown.

Here, as long as you work hard, every household will become a very wealthy family within five years.

What makes them even happier is that every household has livestock and poultry breeding pens in its backyard. All raised chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle and sheep can be sold at very high prices. There is no need to worry about selling at all, many businessmen come to buy it regularly.

After these relocated people settled down, they cherished their God-given new home and worked particularly hard.

Everyone wants to open more acres of land for their family and create more wealth for the family.

There are also some people whose relatives don’t know what the situation is like in the far northwest? No. Migrate here together.

These farmers who came from hell to heaven very much hope that their families and relatives can move here.

The life I lived in my original village could only be described as barely surviving starvation. When you come to a new place, everything is wonderful. As long as you work hard, you can never go hungry. It can be said that there are no worries about food and clothing.

The government was entrusted by Xiao Yunyan to record all the expenses of these people on rice, flour and vegetables before the first batch of crops matured in his account.

Xiao Yunyan put a lot of rice noodles in the warehouses of various government offices. Each household can receive grain on a per-capita basis on a regular basis, and until new grain is produced, it will no longer be provided free of charge.

In other words, Xiao Yunyan truly regards these new farmers as her own family. Regardless of whether they have any savings before coming here, it is guaranteed that they will not go hungry. Of course, after the first season of food is harvested. Rice and noodles will no longer be provided for free.

Xiao Yunyan's generous policies attracted poor farmers from all over the country to come to the fiefdom.

The poor, who were regarded as mere dogs elsewhere, became the owners of their own land after coming here, and became common people treated equally. They are willing to work hard in this vast land to create a better life.

Most poor farmers are very hardworking. As long as they are given a little resource, they will be full of hope, work hard, and create a beautiful home.

In particular, these immigrants came from all over Beichuan, and the various living habits and cultural customs they brought with them were blended and mixed together. Some new cultural customs were gradually formed, and new technological developments were also brought about.

Xiao Yunyan asked the government to issue a notice, and those with special skills could report to the government. If you have very strong technical skills, you can work as an instructor in a government-run technical college. It can be temporary or long-term, and wages are paid according to class hours.

The flexible teaching model allows the local young generation to receive traditional skills from the south, north, east, and west, and from all over Beichuan. Therefore, in the six northwest prefectures, various folk skills have been greatly developed. This is what Li Mohan and Xiao Yunyan want to see.

Facing markets as large as many surrounding countries. No matter what is produced in one's own fiefdom, there is no need to worry about lack of market. The couple strongly encourages the private sector to set up various handicraft workshops, as craftsmen are very valuable here.

The six northwest prefectures, which were originally in need of development, have experienced very rapid development in only half a year.
