Chapter 606 Commendation Conference, everyone returns home
Although Yizhou was still very simple at this time, Bao Xin also spent a lot of money to build a good open-air venue, and even prepared a large amount of grain, vegetables, and various game foods from the factory warehouse. For veteran tribesmen like Bao Xin,
It is said that it is not a commendation meeting without a dinner!
When everything is ready, it's time for the commendation meeting to begin.
Almost all the more than 30,000 people from the entire southern Yizhou came here. In order to prevent unrest, Bao Xin still managed the savages in a militarized manner as he did during the sugar cane cutting period. One Han led four savages to prevent them from running around and causing trouble.
stampede accident.
Then the representatives selected by Bao Xin and the others came out in front of the gaze of 30,000 people and warm applause!
This should be their most prosperous time. Bao Xin cleaned these 200 people in advance. He also put on the best clothes on them and dressed them up neatly. Their style of painting was different from the others.
One by one, they became today’s protagonists.
Among them was Zhu Hai who had fled. He was one of the 100 Han Chinese who advanced. He followed everyone to the front and accepted everyone's cheers. At this time, he was full of energy, high-spirited, and glorious.
Zhu Hai has been a farmer for half his life. The biggest thing in his life may be that he became a civilian and followed Guan Yu to the battlefield. Moreover, he was very lucky. The time he went to the battlefield was a rare victory for a big man against a big man. In addition, Guan Yu
The army was protected by the navy all the way, and the safety of civilians like them was guaranteed. Not only did he return home alive, but he also got an old farm cow because of his meritorious service on the battlefield.
He also participated in the big man's celebration party, but he was just a small peasant. He didn't have much to do in the big man's celebration party. The only benefit he got was a big meal.
But now that he came to Yizhou, he didn't do anything. Just because he cut a lot of sugar cane, he actually became a hero and accepted the commendation from the school captain. This time he was a hero, which made Zhu Hai ecstatic!
In the audience, the fellow Han people in Zhu Hai were very excited, because it was the first time they saw that ordinary people like them could have such glory and honor!
Who can't do farm work? How difficult is it to cut sugar cane? These 100 people are standing on the podium today. They think they have hope to stand on it, so when they see people like Zhu Hai, it is equivalent to seeing themselves.
You can also receive commendations in front of tens of thousands of people.
The barbarians in Yizhou were equally excited, because half of the heroes were theirs, which meant that they were not discriminated against. Also, they knew that there would be a big meal waiting for them, and it was important to them to be able to eat and drink for free.
Naturally it is a happy thing.
On the stage, Zhu Hai and other 10 people who cut the most sugar cane shook hands with Bao Xin and others and then stood in a row.
Bao Xin held up an iron horn and loudly said: "These 10 people are the 10 people who cut the most sugar cane this time. The sugar cane each of them cut is equivalent to 5 times our average!"
This number made everyone cheer, it was equivalent to Zhu Hai and the others doing what five people did!
Only Marlow shook his head and said to his companions: "Zhu Hai is really stubborn. Everyone can do just about the same. You do five times more than others, which is equivalent to five times more hard work!"
Bao Xin uses his monthly salary to hire these refugees, and there are tens of thousands of people doing work. Naturally, some people will want to cheat and cheat. After all, it is easy and no one wants to sweat. This is still the case when Bao Xin is divided into groups. Otherwise the efficiency will be even lower.
However, the village chief next to him said disdainfully: "You are smart, so you can only stand here, but Zhu Hai can stand on the stage and accept everyone's cheers!"
Ma Luo said: "What's the use of such commendations and cheers? It's not that we can't eat or drink. Daqian can at most give Zhu Hai and the others a little sweetness. Could it be that being an official these days would give us too much benefit!"
We still have to find a way out for ourselves. Don’t look at the high monthly salary that Daqian employs us now, but there is nothing here at all. With too much money, we can’t buy anything else except food!”
"Village Chief, we still have to save our strength. Didn't the officials who are preparing to open up wasteland say that we can open up 100 acres of land at will? I have been observing the situation here during this period, just to ensure that the soil is fertile and close to the water source. When the time comes, The whole village of Minshui Village works together to open up wasteland. As long as there is land, we can take root here! And we can also learn from Da Gan, grow sugar cane and press sugar. This is the way to make a fortune."
The village chief thought it made sense when he heard it, and he still had to save his energy when cultivating his own land!
But at this moment, the whole audience exclaimed, especially the villagers of Dahan. Although they knew that people like Zhu Hai came to power to receive rewards, they did not expect that Daqian's rewards would be so hard-core!
10 soldiers led 10 cattle to the podium, and then handed them over to Zhu Hai and the others. Many people were shocked.
These farm cattle are extremely strong, and their heads and horns are so majestic and spectacular that many old farmers immediately regret and bleed with heartache.
"If I had known that Da Gan people were so generous, I shouldn't have been lazy, otherwise I should be the one standing on top now!"
This old farmer used to be a serf of a noble family. It had nothing to do with him whether the harvest was large or small. He only got the rations that could barely survive. How to save energy when he had neither enough food nor clothing to keep him warm? It was the key to his survival. When he arrived in Yizhou, although Bao Xin gave him a high salary of 1,000 yuan, he still habitually maintained his physical strength. This time, he was a hindrance in cutting sugar cane. .
But he did not expect that his behavior would cause him to miss a farm cow. This might be his only chance to get a farm cow, but now it is gone. At this time, he regretted it.
The old farmer next to him regretted even more: "I am not lazy, but I am old after all, and I can't compare with the young people. But if I had known that Daqian would reward the old man for cultivating cattle, I would have given it a try!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Cattle are common in Daqian. After all, Daqian occupies the entire desert, and there are plug-ins such as silage feed. The number of cattle produced in the desert every year is extremely large. , and Xu Wei also opened up the channel between herdsmen and farmers, allowing farmers in Daqian to buy cattle at a relatively low price, and Xu Wei also knows the importance of cattle to agriculture. Over the years, he has continued to use agriculture Loans help farmers in Daqian obtain cattle. In recent years, with Xu Wei's vigorous promotion, every household in Dagan can have one cattle.
However, there are still very few farming cattle in the Han Dynasty, and the price is extremely high. In the Jiangnan area, a young and strong farming cattle generally costs more than 20,000 yuan, which almost cuts off the possibility of ordinary people getting it. In Jiangnan, there are only nobles and nobles.
Only small landowners' families have cattle. Your Majesty, an ordinary man, can only drool when looking at the cattle of wealthy noble families.
So now the sight of farm cattle by these Han refugees is more sensational than Bao Xin thought! Voices of regret can be said to be everywhere.
Zhu Hai and the others were overjoyed, especially Zhu Hai. He originally owned an old scalper, but he had to sell it at a low price when he fled. He never expected that, more than a month later, he would sell it again.
Owning a farm cow, its loss and recovery made Zhu Hai cherish the farm cow even more.
Then groups of representatives came to the stage to get their own cattle, including representatives from the savage tribes who also received hundreds of cattle. This aroused everyone's discussion, especially the Han refugees!
It was a pity for Marlowe to say: "Do these savages know how to farm? It would be a waste to give them such good cattle. If they eat them, it would be a waste of nature. They are not our slaves, why should we do this to them?"
good!"
But at this time, the Dagan officer who was in charge of him said to him seriously: "We in Dagan have no slaves. If you want to become a landlord, you will be the target of our suppression!"
This officer used to be a slave in Xuzhou, and he had to wait until Daqian captured Xu Wei before he had the chance to be freed. Therefore, he cherished his current life very much. In order to protect Daqian, he even joined Wang Lei's Xuzhou army, and then
Da Qian wanted to open up Yizhou, so these new soldiers were sent to Yizhou.
It was because of his experience that he was extremely sensitive to the word slave. He looked at Marlowe with a trace of hatred in his eyes, which scared Marlowe! Because in his three views, even Han people can become slaves.
Not to mention these savages, they are almost born slaves in Jiangnan!
But he obviously would not refute the officer without good intentions, and then said with a careful smile: "Master, this is just a joke, please bear with me!"
But the officer said seriously: "This is no joke. There are many officers in our Dagang who were either from the desert or slaves. If you talk nonsense like this, you will offend a lot of people. As long as you join our Dagang, you will be fine."
As slaves, everyone is a citizen of Daqian, including you!"
Marlow immediately nodded and said: "Yes, yes, we are no longer Han people, we will all be Dagan people from now on!"
Only then did the officer let Marlowe go!
After these people received the cattle, Bao Xin said loudly: "Everyone has contributed to this harvest. We will distribute various farm tools and food to everyone according to the size of their contribution to ensure that everyone has a share!"
Hearing this, more than 30,000 people underground cheered. They did not expect that they would have their share!
After commending these advanced representatives, it is time to move on to the next step of parading on horseback. However, there is no city in Yizhou, so Bao Xin also made a change. Instead, they, the senior officials of Yizhou, will hold the cattle that were just given to the representatives.
, let them sit on the cattle, and then hundreds of them walked around the venue and accepted the cheers and worship of everyone!
The barbarians in Yizhou didn't think anything about it, but the 5,000 Han people who came here were extremely shocked. The officials of the Han Dynasty would not even look at them as Guizhou chiefs. They would only squeeze them and want to pluck their skins, even if Liu Bei occupied them later. After Yangzhou, there was a slight change, but it only changed the people of Yangzhou from a state of separation between life and death to a state of dire straits.
The people of Yangzhou escaped from the abyss of death, but their living conditions were not good. After all, Liu Bei had more than 300,000 troops to feed. This was an extremely huge expense. All he could do was to fairly suppress the people of the Han Dynasty. and the noble families of the Han Dynasty, and would not let the noble families transfer their taxes to the common people of the Han Dynasty.
And now that they have come to Yizhou, because they don’t have any land of their own yet, they don’t know whether the officials of Daqian are at the same level as the officials of Han Dynasty, but now that they see this scene, they believe that the officials of Daqian are willing to put down their dignity and help them. Ordinary people were able to take care of cattle, and this alone far surpassed the officials of the Han Dynasty.
Even Marlow said excitedly: "The officials of Daqian are willing to give Zhu Hai a cow. This alone is more than ten times better than the officials of Dahan. It shows that they value us Guizhou leaders. It seems that we can really find them in Yizhou." Good day!”
The old village chief and others also looked proud, because the highest official in Yizhou was helping their village's Zhu Hai lead his horse. This was the most glorious moment for their village in hundreds of years. At this moment, Zhu Hai was not a person, but a representative. The entire Minshui Village.
However, only representatives from other villages were parading across the cow, and they all looked glorious, as if they themselves were sitting on the cow, receiving the cheers and envy of tens of thousands of people.
From this moment on, they truly recognized their identity as Daqian people. After all, Dahan only brought them suffering. Although they had only been Daqian people for more than a month, in just over a month, Daqian gave them A glory and honor that allows them to have something to say to future generations.
Tian Feng, who was holding the cow, carefully observed the expressions of the people around him and Bao Xin, and realized that for ordinary Guizhou cows, such a thing would have been impossible for Tian Feng to do in the original big man, because doing such a thing would result in being punished. People all over the world ridiculed him, and he might be kicked out of the ranks of celebrities.
But this kind of thing is common in Daqian. It can be seen from the expressions he saw on Bao Xin and the others. Not only did Bao Xin and the others not feel aggrieved, but they were happy for these people who were holding the cows. It was obvious that they did this kind of thing sincerely. of.
Tian Feng knew that Lei Gong started to parade on horseback in Mayi. This glorious ceremony had been a tradition for more than ten years. When he knew about this incident, he just thought that Lei Gong was trying to win people's hearts, so he would fight for the lowest level. He even wanted Yuan Shao to learn what Lei Gong did.
Of course, Yuan Shao refused to accept this. He was the fourth and third prince of the Yuan family. He would be the third prince in the future. How could he lead a horse for others, not to mention an ordinary Guizhou leader, even a meritorious official?
And now Tian Feng saw that even Bao Xin, who only had 2,000 shi, was familiar with this kind of ceremony. Obviously, the entire Daqian leadership recognized the use of such methods to bring glory to the people.
They didn't think this brought any stain to them. Only then did Tian Feng understand that Lei Gong's ability to gain support from tens of millions of people was not something he got by luck, nor could he simply win people's hearts and be done with it.
Lei Gong truly gave his greatest support among the people, gave them glory and honor, and trained them to become officials and even masters of the great cadres. Lei Gong truly gave the world to these people.
