Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 210 The Ordinary Road ([-])

Donglai County

Xuxiang County

The port is crowded with people, the streets are full of soldiers maintaining law and order, and more than a hundred ships are moored on the sea.

"Everyone line up, don't be crowded."

"Children stand in a team, girls in a team, women in a team, men in a team, artisans in a team, doctors in a team, scholars in a team, don't stand in the wrong position."

"Get out those old men and old ladies who are mixed in the team, our Wang family doesn't want old people."

"What? Clans of the Han Dynasty? Clans of the Han Dynasty can't do it either, get out!"

Meishan is already 17 years old. His family was originally a rich peasant family. They barely had food and clothing. However, the currency reform of the Xinmang regime quickly bankrupted their family. , Then when they went to the powerful to buy food to satisfy their hunger, they had to use five baht.

As it should be, their family became refugees, and later joined the Red Eyebrow Army to rebel.

Later, his elder brother made great achievements in attacking the Haoqiang manor, so he was allocated many fields.

But the good times didn't last long, and the main force of the Red Eyebrow Army went to Guanzhong to fight for hegemony. Because their family had land, they were unwilling to go to Guanzhong, so they stayed in Qingzhou and started farming again.

However, the powerful family that was hanged by the red-browed army did not die out. The young master of the powerful manor joined the Qingzhou warlord Zhang Bu's home return group, and all the farmers who had divided their fields were arrested and sold. The ones were killed and thrown into the sea.

The members of the Home Returning Group are all powerful children. Because the good land was distributed to the landless people by the Red Eyebrow Army, these powerful children came back to take back the land.

The Meishan family finally got the land, so naturally they refused to "return" the land to Hao Qiang, so they would become refugees again.

In the early morning, a group of Qingzhou Qingqi rushed over, captured them refugees, tied them up, and led them to Xu Township with ropes.

Along the way, all the sick, disabled, and elderly people will be directly killed by this group of Qingzhou cavalry, so as not to delay the speed of the journey.

Mei Shan and his sister Mei Shan were forced to separate into two teams.

The refugees were all excited when they heard that it was the royal family of Liaodong who bought them.

As early as the period of the Xinmang regime, Meishan had heard of the reputation of the royal family in Liaodong. He heard that their family style was excellent, and they were benevolent and caring for the people, and they were not greedy for power. Eat enough to eat and die without hunger.

If he went to Liaodong this time, it would be good to be a tenant farmer for the Wang family, rather than enduring exorbitant taxes in the Central Plains and being tortured by the Home Returning Mission.

Many people who have been trafficked have such thoughts.

No way, everything is afraid of comparison.

The Wang family never considered the life and death of the people. They just didn't want the people to starve to rebel and threaten their own rule, so they only kept the poll tax and land tax, canceled all other exorbitant taxes, and also canceled corvee and military service.

But even so, it is the best government in the world.

After all, good and bad are compared, as long as the bad is not as good as others, it is considered good!

In the Central Plains, people not only have to pay poll tax and land tax, but also pay dozens of other chaotic and miscellaneous taxes, and also serve corvee and military service. The living standard is indeed much lower than that of the people in Liaodong.

Therefore, compared with the Central Plains, the four major families in Liaodong are Aimin!It has a great reputation!
This is not a joke, because the exploitation of the people by the powerful gentry in the Central Plains and the princes and warlords will only be more terrifying!
Therefore, in this case, the four major families in Liaodong who carry out class oppression are the saints praised by the common people all over the world!

The four major families in Liaodong are well-deserved benevolence, righteousness and love for the people!

The royal family of Liaodong is also praised by the world as the first good family!

"We really did good deeds in our previous life, and we have the chance to be bought by the royal family of Liaodong as tenant farmers, so we won't have to suffer in the Central Plains from now on." A middle-aged man was moved to tears. The war in the Central Plains ruined his family.

There are often some Qingzhou refugees trying to smuggle to Liaodong in small canoes, so that countless people drown in Bohai Bay.

I would rather be a slave in Liaodong than a native of the Central Plains!
Liaodong is the beacon of freedom in the minds of refugees!
A high wall was built around the port of Xuxiang to prevent the smuggling of refugees and prevent the influx of low-quality refugees into Liaodong and increase the burden on the four major families.

Finally, hundreds of ships were filled, and the Wang family's fleet was full of people and left.

wow——

Seeing the Wang family's fleet leave, the refugees on the pier who hadn't been loaded on the boat exploded. Regardless of the Qingzhou soldiers' obstruction, they rushed straight to the coast and wanted to jump onto the boat.

However, most of them fell into the water and missed.

A few refugees caught the rope on the hull of the royal ship by chance, and were dragged by the rope to the deep sea and drowned alive.

Looking at the shadow of the fleet leaving, Mei Shan was also very desperate.

If he continued to stay here with these refugees, who knew what would happen, and it would be difficult for him to protect his sister.

At this time, a young man with sly eyebrows and mischievous eyes said in his ear: "I am a ranger. Our Shakou Gang has a smuggling boat that can take you to Liaodong. Each person only needs one hundred dollars."

Just when Mei Shan wanted to say that he had no money...

"It's him!" Several Qingzhou soldiers came.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the young ranger fled quickly, but was blocked by a Qingzhou soldier on the other side.

The Qingzhou soldier subdued him, and then reprimanded: "Xiamen use martial arts to break the ban! You rangers like to do things that break the law!"

"I don't, I'm not a ranger!" The young ranger quickly defended.

however……

"what!!!"

There are not so many reasons to talk about in troubled times. The Qingzhou soldier directly slashed You Xia's neck, killed him, and then sneered at the body of You Xia lying on the ground: "These refugees were sold to Liaodong by my lord. You knight-errant gangs dare to steal money from our lord? What a waste of life!"

Ugh……

Looking at the ranger who died, Mei Shan dismissed the idea of ​​smuggling to Liaodong, and waited for the next batch of Liaodong fleet to arrive.

"I heard that the Liaodong Fleet came to Xu Township only once in two months, and the next time I come, I don't know if I'm still alive or not, alas..." Among the refugees, some were unlucky because they were short in stature and not suitable for land reclamation, so they queued up He was at the very back of the queue. He had been waiting for four months and watched three batches of Liaodong fleet leave with his own eyes, but he still couldn't get on the boat.

In such a sad atmosphere, when everyone came to night, Zhang Bu's Qingzhou soldiers gave each refugee two straw mats, one for sleeping on the bottom and one on top to keep out the cold.

As for the house?

sorry, we do not have that!
Even if there is a tent, whether you can survive depends on your physical fitness.

In fact, the Wang family filtered out high-quality population through this method.

Poor populations with poor physical fitness will naturally die in this harsh environment, and those who survived by chance are all gifted. It is natural for such gifted people to go overseas to open up wasteland for the Wang family.

at night
Meishan hugged her sister tightly to prevent her from being suddenly dragged away by some hungry refugee while she was sleeping.
