My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 449 Resettlement of New Immigrants
After a few days of rest, the three thousand immigrants had almost recovered, and then under the guidance of officials, they set off for Delhi again.

The [-] immigrants this time will all be resettled in Delhi. After all, as Zhu Gaoxu's chosen capital, the number of Han people in Delhi is still too small.

Compared with the prisoners who came last time, the immigrants who came this time are all based on families, so they are easier to settle down, so they are the best immigrants. Zhu Gaoxu is also very relieved to place them in the capital, without Worried about something going wrong.

Wu Huhu's family was also in the team, and with the team trekking all the way, they finally arrived near the city of Derry.

However, they did not enter the city immediately. Instead, they were led by officials to the immigrant village, where the first group of immigrants lived outside Derry.

The people in the immigrant village had heard the news a long time ago. They not only welcome the arrival of the new immigrants, but even look forward to them, because too many of these people are bachelors, and they all want to find a wife as soon as possible.

In the past, some people couldn't resist and found local natives to be their wives, but not only did the locals not have a house, but they also had half as much land as the children of the pure Han people. discriminatory.

Now the first batch of immigrants has finally arrived, and it is said that there are many women among them. How can this make the first batch of immigrants not tempted?
So under the instigation of many people, these people paid money one after another, not only repaired the immigrant village, but also prepared a reception banquet for the new immigrants. Specialties over there.

Therefore, when Wu Laohu and other new immigrants came to the immigrant village, they immediately received the warmest welcome from the entire village, but these bachelors only stared at the women among the new immigrants, looking like hungry wolves. There are officers and soldiers nearby, I am afraid that the women among the new immigrants have already fled in fright.

After a welcoming banquet, the officials took the new immigrants to visit the entire village. Of course, the whole process was guarded by officers and soldiers, and private contact between the new and old immigrants was strictly prohibited. This was mainly because they were afraid that bachelors among the old immigrants would do something illegal. After all, these people All have criminal records.

After visiting the village, the officials took the new immigrants to participate in the fields of the old immigrants, [-] acres of fertile land per person, and they could also hire local natives to work, even if they didn't know how to farm, they didn't have to worry about the harvest.

The new immigrants looked at the residences and fields of the old immigrants. Not only did they look at these, but just by looking at the broad-minded and fat faces of the old immigrants, they could tell that they were definitely not short of food and clothing.

After the visit, the new immigrants were arranged to move to another stockade. This stockade was not too far from the old immigrant’s stockade. The distance between the two was about ten miles. This stockade was also built long ago, and it was originally used to house Nanyang Han people. , but I didn't expect it to be used to resettle immigrants from Daming first.

In order to distinguish the two immigrant villages, the original village is called Laozhai, and the village where the new immigrants live is naturally Xinzhai.

Wu Huhu and his family were divided into two adjacent courtyards. In fact, they were courtyards, that is, courtyard walls made of fences. There was a wooden house in each courtyard, and the living conditions were actually very simple.

However, for these new immigrants who were originally refugees, they are very satisfied now that they can have a place of their own.

And when they visited the old village before, they had seen that the old immigrants had rebuilt their houses after earning money, and the roads in the village were paved with stones. The conditions were much better than those in the new village.

As soon as the new immigrants moved into the new village, the old immigrants from the old village immediately flocked to them. They did not come empty-handed, but brought a lot of gifts, and then they went to the door, some for the purpose of building relationships, and some directly When the new immigrants went to visit the village, they had already found a good target.

Of course, there are also some people with eyesight problems. They obviously have husbands, but he also ran to propose marriage, and naturally they were thrown out with gifts.

Wu Shanniang is a widow. Although she is tall, she is not ugly. The most important thing is that she takes care of four children by herself. In other words, Wu Shanniang's family can get at least a hundred acres of fertile land if she marries her. He got a large dowry for nothing.

Therefore, when they visited Laozhai before, Wu Shanniang was targeted by many people, and in their opinion, it should be easier to find a widow to propose marriage.

But when these people came to Wu Shanniang's door with gifts, they found Wu Wang guarding the door, and told them that Wu Shanniang already had a master, and his wife Qu Hong was proposing marriage to her elder brother Mo Qing.

In the living room, Qu Hong pulled Wu Shanniang, and sat beside her talking in a low voice, while Mo Qing placed a pile of gifts at his feet, and discussed marriage with Wu Huhu across the table.

Mo Qing was very attentive to Wu Shanniang when they were in Port Delba. At that time, Wu Laohu discussed with his daughter whether to agree to the marriage?
Regarding this matter, Wu Shanniang expressed some hesitation, but she did not reject it. On the way to Delhi, Mo Qing followed Wu Huhu's family all the way, and with his mouth, he quickly became one with the Wu family. They get along very well, and even Wu Shanniang's children like Mo Qing very much.

In the end, Wu Shanniang was also moved, so Wu Huhu asked Mo Qing to formally come to propose marriage after returning to Delhi. After all, marriage in this era is all about the matchmaker's words, and there is no way to get married without a matchmaker. Mo Qing is needed as a matchmaker.

So after Mo Qing returned home, he immediately asked Qu Hong to be a matchmaker. He and Wu Wang brought gifts and accompanied Qu Hong to propose marriage.

"Sister, Brother Mo is eloquent. Although he looks a bit glib, he is actually a nice person and very loyal. He helped arrange the marriage between Wu Wang and I. If you get married in the future, we will be a family. What's the matter? Just speak up, but don’t be polite!”

Qu Hong took Wu Shanniang's hand and laughed in a low voice.

Originally, she wanted to say that if Mo Qing bullied Wu Shanniang after marriage and asked Wu Shanniang to find her, then she would stand up for Wu Shanniang, but judging by Wu Shanniang's size, who would be bullied after marriage?

"Thank you sister, I don't worry about the rest, but there is one thing I want to clarify before we get married."

Unexpectedly, Wu Shanniang suddenly hesitated and said.

"Sister, if you have anything to say, just ask!"

Qu Hong immediately said that she used to be a son and daughter of Jianghu, she had a very straightforward personality, and she got along very well with Wu Shanniang.

Wu Shanniang didn't speak immediately, but turned to look at her father. Wu Huhu seemed to know what his daughter was going to say, so he stopped talking to Mo Qing and asked Mo Qing to look at Wu Shanniang, because this matter related to whether they Can get married?
