    Time flies, and years pass like lightning.

    In the blink of an eye, Luo Erzhu and his group of people from the Ming Dynasty had already spent a month in the resettlement camp in Jinshan City.

    It can be said that this month of camp life has given these Mingren a great shock.  It also let them know a lot of knowledge that they didn't know before, and broadened their horizons a lot.

    At the same time, during this month, some people who were originally sick were slowly cured of their illnesses under the care of Jinshan City Conquest, and no longer had to suffer from the pain.

    In the past, they never dared to think about this.

    You know, you don¡¯t need to take any money to treat them.

    Of course, there is no need to pay when they are in the camp, but once they leave the camp and have a job, they still need to pay for food, drink, treatment, medical treatment, etc.

    But even so, these wise people are very grateful.

    After all, from the perspective of Jinshan City, it is not impossible to let them live and die without treatment.

    Those officials in the Ming Dynasty would do this.

    At the same time, in this short period of one month, a small number of the women and girls among this group of Ming people have learned the skills of domestic service and received training.

    Although this group of people does not constitute the majority, it is still a good start.

    After all, this is the first batch of immigrants. It is also the first time for Jinshan City¡¯s immigration managers to deal with Ming Dynasty immigrants.  Therefore, it is normal that there is no way to convince most people after some contact.

    The people of this era believed that women and girls should stay at home and should not come out and do things like men.

    Even if the employer is a lady from a wealthy family.

    ¡°Who knows if these wealthy ladies have brothers who don¡¯t have that kind of personality in their families.

    ¡°What if your woman or daughter dies and is ruined?

    You know, in the Ming Dynasty, there were many wealthy people like this.

    Therefore, the young people from the empire who came for the statistical investigation at the beginning.  Only a dozen families were convinced.

    Luo Erzhu is one of them.

    On this day, all the people in the camp were summoned to the square of the camp.

    The director of Jinshan Resettlement Center came here today.

    On this day, the director will tell these immigrants that they will become citizens of the empire and receive land distributed by the empire.

    ???????????????These Mingren seemed a little uneasy about leaving the camp.

    Because they don¡¯t know how to survive with their families after leaving here.

    After all, this is where they are.  It's a strange country.

    Even though they have been studying for a month, they have even been trained in some professional skills.

    But even so, it was still not enough to survive in the Song Empire.

    For the future, these people have little confidence.

    Of course, this is understandable and human nature.

    However, when the director of the resettlement center loudly stated that the empire would allocate land to them, these immigrants felt uneasy and fearful.  They were all forgotten.

    What¡¯s left is disbelief and shock.

    What!

    Give us the land!

    ¡°Whether this is true or not, it¡¯s not because I heard it wrong.

    There is such a good thing. It is a land that can be passed down from generation to generation.

    It¡¯s no wonder these Mingren heard this information.  There will be such thoughts and years.

    For Easterners, land is very important in their concept.

    ??Even, land and happiness are closely related.

    In fact, when the land belongs to you.  Easterners can often burst out with great motivation.

    The area around Jinshan City is now completely under Wang Shan¡¯s control.  And because the land here is very fertile, as long as it is cultivated, it will become fertile land.

    But those Indians.  They have little interest in farming and would rather hunt than farm.  Therefore, the land development around Jinshan City has to become somewhat stagnant.

    And Wang Shan did not dare to let his Imperial Army soldiers cultivate land.  Because he needs to maintain a certain amount of military force in his own hands to guard against possible unexpected events.

    Although now Jinshan CityThe Indians have surrendered, but no one can guarantee it.

    In this way, those fertile lands can only be looked at but not properly utilized. This is a very painful thing for Wang Shan.

    It¡¯s okay now. Your Highness has gone to the East and has started an immigration plan.

    With these immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, land development in Jinshan City can be carried out, right?

    Especially the people of the Ming Dynasty, who are Easterners, have a very persistent concept of land.

    As long as they get the land, it is equivalent to helping the empire occupy the territory of the Americas.

    It can be said that this is a matter of killing two birds with one stone.

    "Master, did I hear you correctly? You actually want to give us land?"

    At this time, Luo Erzhu had a big mouth and a silly look on his face, and he didn't come back to his senses.

    His wife came to her senses quickly and gave him a tug.

    "It should be true."

    Luo Erzhu is also a little unsure.

    However, based on what he learned from his contacts with Song people in the past month, these Song people have not yet said anything that they cannot do.

    Thinking about it, since the other party said they wanted to divide the land, they should get about seventy-eight points.

    "Everyone come here and register based on your head. Each of you can be allocated five acres of land. Housing, seeds, farm tools, etc. can all be temporarily borrowed from the Jinshan Ministry of Agriculture. There are also cattle there"

    Wow!

    The crowd who had been whispering among each other became even more restless now.

    They are no strangers to borrowing seeds and farm tools on credit.

    During the Ming Dynasty, they would also owe these things on credit to the landlords.

    "However, the Song people were also owed credit for housing and cattle, which would have to shock them.

    ?????????????????????????????????????? originally thought that at most they would only have a straw hut to live in, which would be very good, and there were not that many at all.

    At the same time, there is no need to mention how important the cattle are to a farm family.

    ??A plowing cow.  At the very least, it can hold up to five or six strong laborers.

    ¡°Sir, you don¡¯t dare to joke!¡±

    Some people thought this was too unbelievable, so they shouted in public.

    Yes, everyone¡¯s hearts are beating wildly because of this matter now. If the Song people were joking, they would faint.

    The young director of the immigration resettlement station who was standing high up slowly glanced at the Ming Dynasty immigrants in the square who were looking at him eagerly.

    The originally noisy square is so quiet at this moment that you can hear the movement of a pin.

    These Ming immigrants are all waiting for his answer.

    ¡°What, why don¡¯t you believe us?¡±

    Facing this young director.  These immigrants from Ming Dynasty didn't know how to respond.

    Yes, they really can¡¯t believe it.

    During the Ming Dynasty, those high-ranking men would not be so kind to the miserable lower-class people like them.

    Even their landlord, a tenant farmer, would not be so considerate to them.

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, everyone, you can line up and register now. If you finish it earlier, you can go and claim your own land earlier.¡±

    Boom!

    Hearing what he said, how could the big guy hold his nerve now?

    They immediately crowded towards the record clerk in charge of registration, and they all asked to register them as soon as possible.

    And not far away.  Several women wearing military uniforms and government department attire stood there quietly looking at the slightly chaotic crowd.

    They are all female genetic people of imperial Chinese origin. They came here today to hire some service personnel who have learned housekeeping skills.

    "Everyone, don't make a mess, come one by one. You will not be short of five acres of land per person. When the land is finally divided, you can also divide the entire land according to the average amount of the family"

    Seeing that the scene was a bit chaotic, the nearby soldiers had to come out and start maintaining order.

    With the maintenance of these soldiers, order was stabilized in a short period of time.

    Luo Erzhu was at the front of the queue because he was very close to the registered location.

    The registrar responsible for registration.  He looked up at Luo Erzhu, then lowered his head and asked a few questions.

    "Dad?"

    ?At this time, Luo Erzhu's daughter Chunxi came over.  He timidly tugged at his cuffs.

    "What's the matter? Didn't you see that dad is busy with something big?"

    This is a matter of dividing land, and Luo Erzhu is a little impatient.

    "The adults have informed us that the employer is selecting a maid."

    The little girl Chunxi looked up at her father and whispered to him.

    "Okay, you and your mother will go over and take a look first. Dad will register here."

    Hearing this, Luo Erzhu winked at his wife.

    "There are three people in your family, two adults and one child, right?"

    Looking back, the registrar in charge of registration asked Luo Erzhu.

    Luo Erzhu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, sir."

    However, he began to feel worried unconsciously.

    What does the other party mean by asking this?

    Is it possible that the head of a child might not be counted?

    If that¡¯s the case, that¡¯s five acres less land.

    Or maybe girls don¡¯t count as heads?

    "Okay, fifteen acres of land. When the time comes to divide the land, let your family follow you and we will do the final investigation."

    ha!

    Children count as heads, so it seems that I don¡¯t have to worry.

    Luo Erzhu's current mood is really beyond words.

    Even he himself doesn¡¯t know how to describe how he feels now.

    In short, he now feels as if he is in a dream.

    ¡°In one fell swoop, I went from having nothing to owning fifteen acres of land.  It's almost like a dream.

    Of course, these fifteen acres of land have not yet been truly held in hand, so Luo Erzhu still felt a little unsure.

    "Okay, go to the Ministry of Agriculture staff nearby. They will provide you with targeted help based on your current situation."

    After completing the registration, the registrar gave Luo Erzhu some advice.

    At this time, Luo Erzhu's wife and daughter Chunxi came to the housekeeping service.  There were mothers, daughters, and sisters like them, and a dozen others.

    "These are the people who have gone through this month's short-term training. Although the number is smaller, they have also learned some necessary knowledge. You can start selecting now."

    When these women stood still, the young man in charge of managing this area spoke to the Chinese girls who were preparing to hire housekeepers.

    Why, there are children!

    When these Chinese girls turned their eyes over, they immediately spotted the youngest Chunxi (To be continued)
