In the north area of ​​the county town, in a simple but blue brick and red tiles, when one figure after another lined up to register his name with a smile, Mr. Liu, Zhang Han and others collapsed and pointed at the crowd and scolded him again.

"You can't do this! Li Er, Wang Hui, you can't be so shameless. When you were wandering on the streets and were about to starve to death, if Mr. Xiao hadn't pity you and gave you some food, would you live until now?"

"Shameless, you were born from Lu and died as a ghost from Xiao family. Now you betray the head of the family like this. Where are your consciences? They were all eaten by dogs?"

...

The first mate, Mr. Liu, was scolding, and even named him, pointing at the two young people in the queue to criticize him.

The location here is the place where the county receives and resettles the people who fled from Renguo.

Thanks to the wealth and strength of Qi State, or the vast land and sparse population, as a coastal port city, the courtyards built in different counties for fugitives in Renguo were much better than the shanty towns where the Shang Tang Emperor capital resettled disaster victims.

The shanty towns in the Shang Tang imperial capital were all wooden shacks, but this place was a house built with blue bricks and red tiles, and the residence inside was also brick-walled houses.

In the past few days, more than 200 young and middle-aged people in Lu have lived in more than ten small courtyards, with about twenty people living in one courtyard. Even if it is a little crowded, the environment is much more high-end than that in the shacks.

Food, etc., are provided free of charge by the county government, but those free food can only make you half full. If you want to eat more, you can apply to work and make money. This is a port city, a county town, and it is also a port. Merchant ship caravans dock here to rest, or there are fleets going out to sea to fish. If you can go into the sea, you can help fish, repair boats, etc. If you can't go into the sea, you can transport goods on the dock. As long as you are willing to do things, you can always eat full and eat very well.

Qi State has a vast land and a unique geographical location, which is comparable to the combined territory of more than ten Shandong provinces. It has more than 90% of the plains, three years of maturity, and only more than 7 million people. It can be imagined how abundant the food reserves here are.

In the past three days, more than 200 servants and servants of the Xiao family have been willing to vote, and now there are more than 220. It is because the yamen runners from the county and county yamen have long explained the various situations.

As long as you register and settle down, one person can directly distribute 10 acres of fertile land. These fertile land will be exempted from taxes in the first three years. If you are willing to reclaim land, the maximum limit for single person is 50 acres. If you reclaim land for new land, you will not pay taxes in the first three years.

Such conditions are too exciting for the Xiao family sailors.

If you register and settle down, you will have ten acres of fertile land. It will still be ripe three times a year. If you sow the grain, you basically don’t need to be managed. One acre of ripe land can collect two stones of grain, which is almost 200 kilograms, and 600 kilograms of grain a year.

How much is 600 kilograms per acre? Even if the price of grain in Qi is low, if you have such fertile land and such a superior environment, you will definitely be a pediatrician.

Starting a family and starting a business is that simple here.

In the future, as long as you marry a wife and have children, the children will receive free compulsory education!

All the conditions are too attractive to sailors.

Until now, only one dozen people including Mr. Liu were left, and he was still thinking about returning to Lu and returning to the Xiao family. For Mr. Liu, he was already the first mate of an armed merchant ship with a displacement of 600 tonnes, second only to the captain, and definitely a middle- and high-level manager. Once he didn't run to the sea, his family would have three or five wives, seven or eight children, and more than ten slaves.

They certainly don't want to stay here and start again.

As for Mr. Liu, why are he so resistant to the grassroots and lower-level sailors who defect to Qi and even scold them? If you want to return to Shandong from Qi, it is nearly ten thousand miles away... Even if you can return to Shandong with work instead of salary, only some of them middle and upper-level people will need to work themselves? You can go and earn some travel expenses by yourself?

If we can bring another number of lower-level sailors back, there will be servants to serve them.

If this is still a recent advantage, then after going back... if the Xiao family learns that only a dozen of them will be punished if more than 200 people go back? More than 200 people are resurrected from the dead. Will the master of the Xiao family and other gentry in Lu be moved to study the secrets?

If you take more than 200 grassroots sailors back, the men need to study it, and they can also start attacking the grassroots sailors. They can watch it, but those guys don’t go back. When the Xiao family and other gentry research it, wouldn’t it be directly on them?

There are many people, including Mr. Liu, Zhang Han, etc., who are eager to bring back a group of grassroots sailors. But now, many young and middle-aged people rarely pay attention to them.

Most young and middle-aged people are waiting for registration and chatting enthusiastically, should we farm together in the future, or rent out the land and continue to make money from the sea?

You can easily eat enough in Qi State and never get hungry, but you will make less money and you will still earn more money from business.

If you run to the sea again, it will be a simple employment system. In Qi State, merchant ships recruit sailors and fishermen recruit sailors. They are all hired. They will give you a silver at a time, or a year, and when it expires, you will continue if you want to continue. If you don’t want to go home, you can go home.

Absolute freedom is far from the strict system that the head of the family asks you to continue, and you have to continue.

Just like Luo Hai, a 28-year-old young man has long stopped wanting to run away, but if the head of the family doesn’t allow him, you must continue.

Amid the excited discussions of a large number of young and middle-aged people, Li Er, who was named by Master Liu, and Wang Hui, two young men, looked at each other, and the sailor named Li Er cursed back on the spot, "Who was surnamed Liu, we had to surrender to your yin power in the past. Now that we are in Qi State, we can also have our own dignity. Do you really think I am a fool?"

"Before sixteen years old, my family of Li Er and his family were five. They couldn't say they were good, but they could do it. But once a pirate attack, my family was destroyed, and my parents, brothers and sisters were all dead. Do you really think that after these few years, I don't know where those pirates came from? Even if those were not assigned by the Xiao family, they were assigned by other families like the Xiao family."

"Bah, I'm so kind to see that I'm almost starving to death on the streets and I'm so kind to give me a bite of food? If it weren't for those big masters who shit, how could there be so many orphans and widows in our Lijia Village?"

Wang Hui also scolded him immediately. When teenagers were confused, they didn't know so many things. After following the Xiao family for so long, they had heard of all kinds of dirty things even if they didn't experience them personally.

The coastal fishing villages and towns were once attacked by pirates, and many more disaster victims and refugees were added. In order to survive, they had to sell themselves to the wealthy and powerful, and were trained by the other party to work for the rest of their lives...

This is the same as when the inland and continental areas of the Great Empire, when the disaster comes, the common people are annexed by land and sold their children, or when there is no disaster, bandits robbed villages and towns and made you bankrupt and let you sell your children and daughters. The routine is the same.

Qi and Lu are both descendants of the descendants of Yan and Huang. Until now, who doesn’t want to escape from the sea of ​​suffering and welcome a new life?
