Chapter 1623, on the contrary, it is better for immigrants to go out
"Dad~Dad~"
"My son is unfilial!"
Li Sanwa looked at her father, who was in his sixties. He had not seen him for several years. He was already much, much older.
He couldn't help but kowtow to Old Man Li several times, and said with tears at the same time.
"Get up, get up~"
Mr. Li's eyes were slightly moist. After several years, he finally met his third son.
This trip was worth it. Not only did I get to see the great mountains and rivers of the Ming Dynasty, but I also got to meet my sons and grandsons who had been separated for many years.
"Grandpa, grandpa~"
Brothers Li Ying and Li He also shouted in unison again.
"How old are you all? You are already adults."
Mr. Li looked at the two brothers and nodded happily. When he left, Li Ying was only twelve years old and Li He was only seven years old. Now they have grown up.
"Grandpa, this is my wife Chen Xiaolian. These are the children she gave birth to. The eldest is Li Fei, the second is Li Yuan, and the third is Li Yan~"
"This is my concubine Aina. She is Persian. She was the concubine I married when I went to Persia to do business. These are the two children she gave birth to, the eldest, Li Li, and the second, Li Bo."
"This is also my third wife, Agatava. She is a Slav and I bought her. These are the three children she gave birth to. The eldest is Li Han, the second is Li Yun, and the third is Li Qiu~"
"This is my fourth room, Alina, she is European and Italian..."
Li Ying smiled and introduced his wife, concubine and children to the old man.
"Hello grandpa~"
Following Li Ying's introduction, a large group of people behind him shouted to Old Man Li.
"Okay, okay~"
Old Man Li was a little dumbfounded. He looked at these blond, blue-eyed, tall-nosed and deep-eyed grandson-in-law, and then looked at these great-grandchildren.
All of them are still very young, the oldest is only three or four years old, and they all look at themselves with curious eyes. Their appearance is also very different, some look like Han people, but some don't look like Han people at all.
"Grandpa, this is my wife Wang Lili. These are the two children she gave birth to. The eldest is Li Zhicun and the second is Li Zhigao~"
"This is my concubine Serena, she is French, and this is her child Li Zhiyuan~"
"This is also my concubine Disha. She is from Tianzhu. Not long after she entered the house, she is already five months pregnant."
"..."
After Li Ying finished the introduction, Li He introduced the people around him to Old Man Li with a smile.
"Hello grandpa~"
The women around him also shouted out in unison, and each of them looked at Old Man Li curiously. As for the little guy he was holding, they all looked at Old Man Li with big curious eyes.
"Okay, okay~"
Old Man Li was smiling all over his face. The two brothers Li Ying and Li He were so powerful in the flourishing Li family. Looking at his great-grandchildren and great-granddaughters, Old Man Li smiled even more happily.
"Grandpa~"
A little guy came to Old Man Li and shouted in a babyish voice.
"Haha, good~"
When Old Man Li heard this, he quickly reported it and looked at the pretty little guy. He was extremely fond of it.
On the other side, Mr. Wang's side is similar, but it is not as crowded as Mr. Li's side, but it is still quite a few. There are also about a dozen people, lively and happy.
After a lot of fun, Mr. Li got on the four-wheeled carriage and walked towards Longtou Town.
"Dad, how have you been these past few years?"
Li Sanwa looked at Mr. Li and her tears never stopped. Although he was beaten and scolded a lot when he was a child, and when he was back home in Henan, he also found the old man a bit annoying. But after eight years of separation, he was still very happy.
I miss my father.
"Okay, I'm doing pretty well."
"Now the world is getting better and life is getting better."
"You have food and drink, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Mr. Li smiled and replied.
"The boss's family is also filial. They no longer farm and are all working in the city. Li Ye is now also a manager of a large factory. He is promising and has given birth to several fat boys."
"The fourth brother is also very good here in Liaodong. The family has a lot of fields. The two brothers Li He and Li Ming have also started a family and started a business. They also married a Korean concubine and lived a good life."
"Lao Wu has several plantations here in Nanyang. The three brothers Li Qing, Li Qian, and Li Xu also bought a big boat together and will specialize in boat business in the future."
"Lao Liu's family is doing well now. They went to the capital and bought a house in the capital. They wanted me to live there, but I was too lazy to go. The married daughter threw water away. As long as she lived well.
Already."
"Lao Qi's family is a bit uneasy. Her husband has kept several concubines, and the couple quarrels every day. It's because the world has improved. Her husband is just like him, and he is also a concubine."
Mr. Li also told the story of Li Sanwa's brothers and sisters.
"That's good, that's good~"
Li Sanwa listened carefully and felt relieved when she heard that the brothers and sisters were doing well.
"Dad, my family is pretty good here too."
"There are more than 2,000 acres of land outside the city, and we have also built a pasture and raised some cattle, sheep and horses."
"Li Ying is doing some business, specializing in Persia. The business is not bad, and he can make a lot of money in a year."
"Li He has been studying and his grades are good. This time he was admitted to Imperial College and is going to the capital to further his studies. Although he will not be able to be an official in the future, he can still be regarded as a scholar."
Li Sanwa also reported to Mr. Li the situation at home.
In the Hezhong area, Li Sanwa and the others, the first batch of immigrants, are now mainly engaged in farming and animal husbandry. As for the second generation Li He, Li Ying and others, they were born in the Daming Pass and grew up as children.
The generation that immigrated to the river and grew up on this side of the river.
They often have read some books and can read and write, so many people also learn to do business, open factories and the like.
Another aspect is that Li Sanwa and his generation often have only one wife, because they were all poor people in the past. Even now that they are rich and have a better life, they still uphold the tradition of diligence and thrift, and few people go back.
Taking concubines and the like.
But young people like Li Ying and Li He are different.
They grew up in the new era of Ming Dynasty, and each one of them grew up in a new environment.
Compared with the older generation, they are more confident, smarter and more knowledgeable. They also have a broader vision and come into contact with more people. Basically everyone has a Han wife, plus many foreigners.
's concubine.
As a result, the number of Han people in the Western Regions is not as good as that of foreigners. A town originally had only 10,000 Han immigrants, but now there are basically tens of thousands of foreign women.
These people are basically Han Chinese concubines, and then they give birth to children, which are huge in number and vary greatly in appearance. Some are pure Han, some are mixed, and some don't look like Han at all.
It also makes the Hezhong area full of exotic flavor.
"Not bad, not bad~"
Old Man Li nodded with satisfaction.
Of the four sons, it seems now that the eldest son who stayed in Henan is living the most ordinary life.
There is not much land in this family, and there is not much money in hand. Even the branches and leaves are not as good as those of other brothers.
The third oldest family has more than 2,000 acres of land, their own farms and breeding farms, and even more money. Last time, they directly sent me dozens of silver dollars, which shows that the family is still rich.
In the fourth year of my life, I had a lot of fields and my own pig farm, and I also sent a lot of money over there, but I was afraid that I would have no money to use and no food to eat.
The fifth family has several plantations, and the three grandsons even bought a big boat together. This big ship costs tens of thousands of taels of silver. This shows that the situation of the fifth family is not the same as that of the third and fourth families.
Already.
Comparatively, the conditions for the boss who stayed in the country are average.
When the third, fourth, and fifth brothers immigrated, Mr. Li felt that they would suffer a lot and be tired, and they would definitely not be as good as his hometown in Henan.
Who knew the gap would be so big now.
They immigrated, but their lives were prosperous, much better than back home in Henan.
This is the principle behind moving trees to death and moving people to life.
Of course, this is also related to the conditions after immigration.
Before I immigrated, there were more people and less land in my hometown in Henan, and most of the land was in the hands of landlords, gentry, and princes. There was not much land in the hands of the common people. The key was that the common people had to pay taxes on their land.
The several members of Old Man Li's family don't have much land, they don't have enough to eat, and they are extremely poor.
It is completely different when immigrating. In the case of Li Sanwa, when she immigrated to the Hezhong area, the government directly gave a large amount of land incentives and exempted her from taxes for the first few years.
All it takes is diligent farming, coupled with the superior natural conditions in the Hezhong area, a bumper harvest of food that can't be eaten all, and suddenly people are rich in food and clothing.
Then there is the Hezhong area, which is vast and sparsely populated. There is a lot of land. You can cultivate it, farm it, and graze it as you like. It is yours to cultivate as much as you like, plus the promotion of steam cultivators and harvesters.
At this time, Li Sanwa's family owned more than 2,000 acres of land. In fact, they could continue to cultivate it, but they couldn't cultivate it, and the food was not valuable, so they stopped expanding and started animal husbandry instead.
, raising cattle, sheep and horses is more profitable.
On the other hand, for the boss who stayed in his hometown in Henan, the land is still in the hands of the landlords and gentry, but no one is farming now, so he can farm more land, but he is still exploited by the landlords.
Fortunately, they can work in the city and earn a decent income. This family has no worries about food and drink, but compared with immigrants like Li Sanwa, the gap is far behind.
"This Longtou Town is very large. It doesn't feel like a small town, but more like a county town."
Old Man Li looked out the window. There were many people in Longtou Town and it was very lively. On the contrary, his hometown felt more deserted. We provide you with the fastest update of Haiwang in Daming Town, Chapter 1623. On the contrary, those who immigrated have a better life.
