Wanli Xinming

Chapter 118 Enclosure
In Daning in mid-April, the late spring drizzle has filled a stream under the remaining Dadingzi Mountains. When the stone, it splashes a clear joyful song.

The men from Huojia Village, who had driven fifteen carts and two carriages from Shandong, had traveled thousands of miles on foot and finally arrived at their destination.At this time, their clothes have all turned into beggars' clothes, and the smell on their bodies can smoke them to death.

Accompanying him all the way, Wang Peng, who was so tired that his face was yellow and skinny, and was almost buried in the mouth of the bear, touched the long scar on his face, smiled and said to the small flag officer sent by the Daning Mansion: "Master Xiong, the mansion has set the land for the Huo family. down, is it here?"

The officer smiled and said, "Exactly, how many times didn't you watch it before?"

Wang Peng, who goes by the pseudonym Huo Peng, said with a smile, "I didn't expect Lord Wang to give the Huo family the flattest piece of land. I can't believe it."

Xiaoqi, surnamed Xiong, said with a smile: "Haha, Student Huo is joking. Your mouth speaks of the sufferings of the Huo family along the way, and it can make the stone cry. In the end, it has persuaded the adult's sympathy, this place Just gave it to your home."

"Student Huo, please take a look. This Henan runs from the north to the east, and the east and west banks are the boundary. One hundred steps on both sides of the river, including the river, is public land. We are in the east of the river. Further east, down to the mountain range, south to the bank of Shuibo. Hundred steps, north to you and me, there are [-] mu of land, all of which belong to your family. If your whole family comes over next year, the [-] mu of land behind us will also belong to your family.”

Mrs. Huo listened to it, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop.Weeping and laughing: "Master Xiong, we came here with 56 people, why did the imperial court give us [-] mu?"

Xiaoqi surnamed Xiong smiled and said: "Haha, there is some land in Daning, you come first, you should take advantage of it. This is also to compensate you for being neighbors with Jurchen, so I gave an extra [-] mu. Father, take my horse's boundary stake. Take it off and nail it yourself."

The old lady rolled her eyes, and quickly called some Huo family members, took the head and the wooden stake, and followed Xiaoqi's instructions to nail the stake.Xiong Xiaoqi waved his head, and the four cavalrymen who followed him followed the Huo family man on horseback.

Xiong Xiaoqi pointed to the other side of the mountain again, and said, "Below the mountain on your side, there is a Jurchen family, and there are seven or eight strong men in his family. Don't make troubles. There is a river over there. Son, the land to the south of Hechazi all the way to the foot of the mountain belongs to them.”

Mrs. Huo smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Xiong, for your guidance, this little old man knows." After speaking, he shouted at Huo Lin, "Why don't you call your daughter-in-law and let Lord Xiong take a look?"

Huo Lin blushed and shouted at He Chazi: "Yu'er! Yu'er!"

Not long after the roar, two horses rushed out from a forest on the other side of the river branch.The two riders jumped on their horses and whipped their whips and went straight to the Huo family.

Xiaoqi, surnamed Xiong, was stunned.Looking at Wang Peng, he asked, "This is?"

Wang Peng cupped his hands and smiled and said, "This is also a fate made in heaven. When the Huo family came to visit the land in the first two days, Huo Lin was attracted by the family and wanted to betroth his daughter to him. It was this family who ran ahead on horseback. The male host is called Tong Chun. The one in the back is his youngest daughter, named Yu'er."

Xiong Xiaoqi looked at Huo Lin up and down, and then touched the whiskers on his face.He sighed first, then scolded with a thumbs up, "Fuck, you idiot!"

After a cup of tea, two horses arrived.Xiong Xiaoqi first looked at the girl. She was fourteen or fifteen years old, with a round face, thin eyes, and a very watery appearance.It is the hair and clothes that are messy and dirty, covering up the beauty.

After watching the girl, and seeing Huo Lin's beggar-like dress and dark appearance, Xiong Xiaoqi spit out, feeling that Tong Chun was blind.

The Jurchen man named Tong Chun dismounted and greeted Xiong Xiaoqi first.He didn't know Chinese or Han family etiquette, so he knelt down and banged his head.

Seeing this, Xiong Xiaoqi quickly knelt down and returned the salute.He got up and muttered, "We kowtow when this Jurchen sees it, but when we go up to the peak, he strictly orders me to bow down to him. This day, I don't know how much kowtow."

When Wang Peng heard it, he jumped to the Jurchen word and said, "Proper." He did another salute and showed it to Tong Chun.

Tong Chun understood, smiled naively, and gave Xiong Xiaoqi a salute.Xiong Xiaoqi laughed when he saw that what he had learned was different. After returning the salute, he turned around and took out a headless head from his horse and handed it to Tong Chun. The words of Jurchen popped out of his mouth and said, "Well, here, you."

When Tong Chun saw it, his eyes were red, as if he was about to cry.He quickly turned around and took out two bear paws from the leather pocket on his horse's back.He spoke the truth of the truth in his mouth, and let Xiong Xiaoqi accept it while gesturing.

Xiong Xiaoqi was secretly overjoyed in his heart, and he said that this Huo family is really a lucky star in our family.It turned out that the Taining garrison was scattered all over the place, and during the period of guiding the Han people to enclose the land, I don’t know who found out that they could exchange salt, tea, farm tools and cloth for the mountain goods in the hands of the Jurchen. I heard about this little flag and brought a few on my horse. The head, as expected, made a profit today.

At this time, the girl had walked aside with Huo Lin, gesturing and speaking Chinese characters. Huo Lin pointed to the things around her and was teaching her.

Tong Chun signaled to Wang Peng here, meaning that there was nothing on the horse's back, and he would go home to get it later.Wang Peng knew that he brought this bear paw as a gift to Taigong Huo, but he didn't expect that Xiong Xiaoqi exchanged it with a head, and he secretly scolded the bear's hatred in his heart.

Without realizing it, Xiong Xiaoqi took out five documents and a writing brush from his arms and said to Wang Peng, "Who will sign the bond?"

Wang Peng took it and motioned for the old lady to come.The old lady came over, first dipped her fingers in the ink pad box, and pressed her handprint.Wang Peng held the old lady's hand again, and crookedly wrote the word "Huo" on all the documents.

Xiong Xiaoqi said: "According to the officials of the court enclosure, the grass, woods and wild things on this land are all yours, and the houses built on it are also yours. But if you find mines in the future, it will be the court's. If you build roads and mine in this land in the future, you may also be removed. At that time, you will exchange money for houses and land for land, and once again supply you with a five-year harvest."

Before Wang Peng could answer, the old lady answered, "Master Xiong, do you know how much money will be compensated if the imperial court moves us away in the future?"

When Xiong Xiaoqi heard this, he laughed and said, "If you want me to say that the imperial court is superfluous, can someone come here to look for mines and build roads in the year of the ox and the horse? I heard from the people in the enclosure that the house is exchanged for money, and it will be calculated according to the future house cost. The court will compensate three times. Except for mining and road building, this land is considered Yongye, and no one can take it unless you sell it yourself.”

Wang Peng said from the side: "Don't worry, old man, these are written in the title deed in your hand, I have confirmed it." The old lady Huo was relieved.

Pointing at Wang Peng, he said, "You all set up camp here. I'm going back. Seeing that it's noon, this place can't be walked at night."

He pointed to Huo's horse lane: "These five bows, ten waist knives, and ten spear points, you must not lose them - the government will send staff to investigate at any time, and if you lose them, you will be fined a lot." Huo Lin hurriedly agreed. .

That Xiong Xiaoqi explained again: "There are no farming cattle now in Daning, only corn and soybean seeds can be given to you. Futai said that next year will definitely give you five farming cattle. ? You can't eat the seeds."

Wang Peng smiled wryly and pointed to the carriageway: "Fortunately, the old lady was thoughtful, and we brought some vegetables. Here, there is only half of the car food left. How can there be enough food for 56 men?"

Seeing this, Xiong Xiaoqi said with a wry smile: "There's no way, Daning is short of food, and there is nowhere to buy it. The court sent Laoshen and Dongzhu to the merchants to transport them, but the food is still not enough. Now you can only find a way at home. It is estimated that June or July, can it be better?"

Tong Chun pointed to the man who was going to ride home and said, "You can learn to hunt and catch fish from them. I heard that there are many silly roe deer, rabbits, foxes, etc., and there are bears and wild boars in the forest over there. Fighting a hundred or so is enough for you to chew the grain until the fall. The weapons are all used, why don't you keep the cubs?"

Wang Peng listened and agreed, handing over Xiong Xiaoqi on the horse.He asked in a low voice, "Master Xiong, do you know who can come over to the west of the river?"

Xiong Xiaoqi listened to it and said, "I heard that a family from Shaanxi, surnamed Li, came here. Just like your family, Bai Duoding came first and half of them. They are not from the Xun family or officials behind their family - they can come the day after tomorrow. The two families are doing well, so don't bully others." Wang Peng was completely relieved after hearing this, and replied with a smile, don't worry, they are all Han people, who can bully who?
Xiong Xiaoqi stared at it and said, "You can't bully Jurchen either! Tell you, if a Jurchen goes to the enclosure, and it is verified, your land will be reduced. If one is injured, the land will be reduced by [-] mu, and the medicine will be compensated. One stone of grain, if there is no grain, another [-] mu will be reduced. If one Jurchen is killed, the land will be reduced by [-] mu! If ten are killed, not an inch of your [-] mu will be spared!"

Wang Peng stared at it and said, "What if our people were killed?"

Xiong Xiaoqi listened and sneered: "No matter how old or young a Han Chinese is, if one is killed, the Jurchen tribe who killed the Han will send ten strong men to be buried with him! If a single family like Tong Chun's family does not have enough strong men, the whole clan will not be left behind! All the Jurchen tribes in the northeast have been notified before, and none of them dared to blow their wings, just don't bully them."

After the little flag mounted the horse, regardless of whether the boundary stake was nailed, with a shout, the four cavalrymen came over and joined him.

Xiong Xiaoqi was on the horse, and finally turned around and said to everyone in the Huo family: "You nailed this stake yourself, and someone else will come to check later -- don't overdo it! Drive!"

When he was gone, the men of the Huo family couldn't hold back their excitement any longer, and all of them roared wildly. The tears rolled down their faces, and they all fell into the black soil covered with grass under their feet!
