Chapter 128 Jiuyuan County Recruits Immigrants, Ai Cao's Hometown

Knowing that there were 23 Hun cavalry in Jiuyuan County, Qin Wangzheng was in a good mood, but he was also worried about the proportion of the people in Jiuyuan County. After all, Jiuyuan County had about [-] to [-] Xia people, but there were as many as [-] Huns.

Even though they surrendered to the Qin State now, their hearts are unpredictable. If one day the Qin State army goes to attack other places, what will happen to Jiuyuan County?

So the recruitment of immigrants in Jiuyuan County was put on the agenda, and Xun Yu ordered more than 1000 people to separate and take cattle or horses to their respective villages to recruit immigrants.

The people who came to recruit immigrants this time were all eloquent. If Xi Niu was not planning to get married, he would have prepared to come. After all, the villagers who came here all had a winter coat made of wool and some meat as rewards.

Young Master Fusu also came up with the performance appraisal method of later generations. If you recruit a person, you can be rewarded with an acre of land, and the reward is unlimited.But the people of Zhuxia will not deceive the people of Zhuxia. If there is exaggeration in recruiting immigrants, not to mention the deprivation of rewards, the tax revenue will be [-]% higher next year.

Hearing that the young master said that each person would have an extra mu of land, almost everyone was full of confidence. They knew the people in the village who were about to die.

There is an opportunity for these people to get rid of poverty, and that is to go to Jiuyuan City. Not only can they get rid of poverty, but they can also live affluently, eat well, and wear warm clothes.

This time, with the order of Qin Wangzheng and the cooperation of Qin officials in various counties, Xun Yu was very confident in recruiting immigrants. After all, under the powerful Qin law and Qin official system, there was never any royal power not to go to the countryside.

The more than 1000 people in Jiuyuan County usually live in a township of five or six people. They can be found in various parts of Guanzhong, while other old Chu areas or the Three Jin Dynasties let local Qin officials try to recruit them.

But those places don't have a high sense of belonging to the Qin State, and it is estimated that they can't recruit many people, so they can only try a little bit. After all, the land and local military service in Jiuyuan County are real benefits.

Ai Cao, the young man who helped Wang Meng before, was arranged to go to his original village in the north of Hanzhong County, and several fellow villagers went back with him to recruit immigrants.

In fact, Ai Cao is not very eloquent, but Ai Cao's kindness is almost something that the villagers in the original village know, so asking him to tell something is much more trustworthy than a glib person.

The six of them from the same village were assigned two cows and three horses. These cows or horses carried the six of them and the food they carried back to Hanzhong County. The farmers who didn't know it thought it was the rich relatives from Sanlao's family who came to visit Sanlao.

After Aigao and the others got out of the car, the villagers discovered that they were the folks who had voluntarily immigrated to Henan. Before chatting with them, some people thought that they died in the war in Henan.

I didn't expect to come back with cows and horses now, and looking at the white and yellowed woolen clothes on them, I feel very precious. At least the villagers don't have one, even the three elders don't necessarily have one.

"Isn't this the mourning grass?" The onlookers happened to have a neighbor who was a mourning grass. He stepped forward to pull the mourning grass, and then hesitated when he looked at his clothes. After all, the clothes were not something he could touch. look.

"Uncle Hu," although Ai Cao has been away from here for almost a year, but people still remember, he held Uncle Hu's elbow with his hand: "It's only been a year, how are you?"

Seeing Mourning Grass, who was obviously getting richer but did not alienate him, Uncle Hu showed joy, but shook his head again: "This year's severe cold, the harvest of crops has declined, it's really not good."

"Ai Cao, how are your parents?" But Uncle Hu didn't care so much, and asked about the situation in Ai Cao's family.Uncle Hu and Ai Cao's father have been neighbors since they were young, and their relationship is still good.

It's a pity that the land issue makes the two of them live in different places, and people in this era live in a very small range. Except for various services, usually their own village is their whole world.After the two met each other last year, it is very likely that they will never see each other again.

To Uncle Hu, even the Guanzhong region to the north of Hanzhong County seemed so far away, let alone the Henan region, Jiuyuan County, which was further north.

Uncle Hu is a timid person, he didn't have the courage to take this step, but seeing the current wealth of Ai Cao, he was a little moved, so he greeted: "Ai Cao, why don't you come to my house?"

Looking behind her, Ai Cao found that every fellow villager who came back from Jiuyuan County went to chat with the folks she knew, and some even led the carriage to the place where she used to live.

So Ai Cao partnered with a person in the same direction, and together they pulled an ox cart with a little grain to the direction of Ai Cao's hometown.

One year is enough for Jiuyuan County to undergo earth-shaking changes, but Hanzhong County has not changed at all, so that Ai Cao doesn't have to think about how to go. When she reaches the fork, Ai Cao carries a basket of corn.

Looking at the basket of things, Uncle Hu was a little confused about what it was?But I still brought mourning grass to my home. As neighbors, the two families have a close relationship, and my mother-in-law and children often mentioned mourning grass this year.

"Old woman, look who's back?" Uncle Hu shouted as soon as he entered the door. Looking at the smoke coming out of the house, he also knew that his mother-in-law was cooking, so he put down the farm tools and went to the kitchen.

Called by Uncle Hu, Uncle Hu's mother-in-law Su came out of the kitchen: "I'm yelling all day, the two children are going to talk about getting married, and you are going to be a big father."

And Ai Cao followed Uncle Hu to the door of the kitchen. Su saw him as soon as he came out, and was a little surprised, so he asked, "Ai Cao! Have you eaten yet? Come and eat together, and I'll cook some more."

"Aunt Su, it's okay. I brought some food and cooked more." Ai Cao was no stranger, and walked to the kitchen with the basket on her shoulders. Know it like the palm of your hand.

When Ai Cao put down the basket, it was filled with unpeeled corn, and both Hu and Su gathered around to look at this kind of food that Ai Cao called grain.

Ai Cao remembered that there were four members of Uncle Hu's family, including five of her own, so she took five corns and peeled off the corn flakes, revealing the golden body of the corn cobs.

Just seeing the golden light of the corn, the two thought it was some kind of treasure, and hurriedly shouted: "I can't bear it, I can't bear it!"

"Uncle Hu, Aunt Su, this is just food, not something valuable." After saying that, the grass had already peeled the first corn, and showed it to the two of them.

Hu Hesu poked the corn kernels and found that they were indeed soft, not the touch of any hard object, and Ai Cao had never deceived the two of them since they were young, so they believed it.

Holding a relatively large cooking utensil, Mourning Cao first poured water, then directly threw five corns into it, and added materials to the fire to complete the process in one go, but this series of actions made Mourning Cao a little hot, so he directly put the woolen clothes on his body to high places.

As a woman, Aunt Su's clothes are more attractive to her, and the wool looks not cheap, so she turned around and asked, "Ai Cao, how is your family doing in Henan? How much grain does this woolen coat cost?" ah?"
