Father can be an enemy to the country

Chapter 77 Father’s Hometown

They also found that all the large and small bags they carried were left in Houhu.

When they got off the boat, the five brothers were completely empty-handed and had nothing to offer. They were even put on cloth clothes and cotton shoes inside and out, and they were patched...

Oh, it can't be said that they are completely empty-handed. Each of them also has Zhang Luyin in their hands.

Then he was put on the immigrant ship and arrived here in a daze...

~~

Standing on the large square in front of the Linhuai County Yamen, Zhu Zhen was still confused.

No, I came to be a prince, why have I become a commoner again? Did you get the wrong script, director?

If it weren't for the brothers 2, 3, 4 and 5 standing next to him, he would have thought that he had traveled through time again.

The three older brothers were very excited. They stood there looking around, seeing everything new.

Hong Hao! shouted the clerk in charge of household registration.

Hong Hao? No one answered, so he shouted again. By the third time, the book office was already roaring: Is there anyone named Hong Hao?!

Now the third and fourth boys finally came to their senses, pushed the second boy and said, I'm calling you!

Oh, then, that character is pronounced 'Hao', I thought my name was 'Hong Jing'... Zhu Ping suddenly realized, he quickly stepped forward, pointed at himself and said: I, yes, it's me.

Not only do you stammer, but you're also deaf? The clerk scolded him angrily. What a damn Azha!

How can you talk? Zhu Xiang said angrily: Come on, come on...

After saying that, he thought that he had no guards now. But it doesn't matter, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his jealous fists. Prepare to take matters into your own hands and teach this rude person a lesson.

Second brother, don't be impulsive. We are common people now. The third and fourth brothers quickly grabbed him. Isn't it said that the people do not fight against the officials?

Damn it, is this a place where your kid can run wild? The clerk was startled at first, but when he saw the square-faced doorman being held back by his brother, he immediately became arrogant again.

Shut up! At this time, a righteous scolding voice sounded.

Prosecution. Upon hearing the voice of the clerk, the secretary quickly stood up to greet him.

What do I usually teach you? You must always keep in mind the county magistrate's teachings, be careful, patient, and smile to the new immigrants, and let them consider Linhuai as their home as soon as possible! Li Sili taught him a serious lesson.

Yes, my subordinates know that they are wrong. The secretary's office doesn't know what kind of wrong medicine his clerk took, but the county magistrate might as well take charge of it now and let him say what it is.

Hurry up and apologize to me. Li Sili said, sitting down and saying, I'll do it myself.

He personally registered the family's household allowance——

‘One household, Hong Hao.

Households in Randengjijinqiaokan, Gengan Township, Linhuai County, Fengyang Prefecture.

There are five brothers, Hong Hao, Hong Bin, Hong Ji, Hong Yan and Hong E. ’

When he wrote this, Li Sili couldn't help but secretly praise him. It turns out that he came from a scholarly family and was a eunuch, so he was so particular about his names. There were five brothers, and the five elements complement each other.

And the father of this family must be very good at calculating things. Otherwise, how could he have expected that he would have five sons?

When he filled in the father's column, he asked: What's your surname?

This... The brothers looked at each other. It wasn't written on the road guide, and they didn't know what it was called.

How about telling the truth and telling him our father Zhu Yuanzhang?

Given my father's prestige in his hometown, he would probably be hung up and beaten...

Fortunately, Secretary Li was very considerate and thought they didn't want to mention their criminal father, so he skipped this point and asked, Xiangguan?

Well, my hometown is here. I was born in Yingtian. Zhu Feng answered honestly.

Then fill in Linhuai County, Fengyang Prefecture. Li Sili was very nice and helped the five brothers to establish household registrations. He also filled in the field acres column with fifteen acres of private land and two acres of vegetable land.

While writing, he explained: According to the regulations, each household of Ding's family of three will be given fifteen acres of farmland and two acres of vegetable land. Those who have spare capacity can open up wasteland on their own, with no limit on acres.

A man in the Ming Dynasty became a male at the age of sixteen, and his elder was fifty-five, so like Lao Liu, he was not considered a male yet...

After the household allowance registration was completed, Li Sili personally took them to the back to receive seeds, farm tools, daily necessities, half a year's rations, and the most important cattle.

Li Sili specially picked a big and strong buffalo for them, and also gave them two bags of grain.

After loading the oxcart with the things they had received, the brothers led the oxen and followed the subordinates who led the way out.

It's so rude. The clerk came up to him again, looked at the backs of the five brothers, and said angrily: Tiksuo helped them like this, and he didn't even say thank you from the beginning to the end.

What do you know? This is right. But Li Sili didn't feel dissatisfied at all. He now firmly believed that these five boys must be the children of the high official's family.

Otherwise, how could you be so arrogant?

~~

After gathering enough people, the subordinate staff took them out of the county town and went to Insensing Township.

As soon as they left the county, these new immigrants finally became less restrained and began to complain.

Why are their cows so tall and strong? Are our cows so thin and small?

Why do they still have iron pots and quilts, and they seem to have more food than us! This is not fair, we have to make up for it!

Why, what, you don't accept it? Realizing that they were comparing themselves to their own home, the second and fourth children turned around at the same time, with ferocious looks on their faces, and they were immediately frightened into silence.

Hehehe... The old subordinate riding on the back of the donkey was so happy that he didn't need to talk. In fact, he was also very surprised. Li Sili was not related to them and had never seen them give any benefits. Why did he take care of them like this?

I've never heard that Mr. Li is very talkative...

At noon, a group of immigrants with their families arrived at the Randeng Market in Gannan Township.

The head of each village has been waiting there for a long time to take back the immigrants assigned to their own village.

The old subordinate official received the order from Secretary Li and personally led the five brothers to Jinqiaokan.

This is where their father was born and raised. But the thatched house that the Zhu family lived in had long been razed to the ground, and no trace of it could be found...

Even most of my father's fellow villagers died in war and famine. Those who survived either went to guard the imperial mausoleum and eat royal food for his family, or moved to Zhongdu City to enjoy the blessings.

Most of the people living in the village now are newly arrived immigrants from various places. There are only twenty or thirty households in total, and half of the village is still empty.

The old subordinate first took them to identify the paddy fields and vegetable fields assigned to them, and then pointed to the houses in the village and said:

Just find a house with no one to live in and live a good life.

After saying that, he rode his donkey back.

He didn't get any benefits, so he didn't bother to talk nonsense with these rude fellows.

~~

Suddenly no one told them what to do, and the brothers were suddenly at a loss.

After a while, Zhu finally said, I'm going to look around and find a better house to settle down in.

I'll go too. Zhu Di also volunteered.

The two walked around the village and found that the better houses were all occupied by people, while the uninhabited houses were dilapidated.

After searching around, I finally found a two-entry courtyard. There was a room with a intact roof, but of course the doors and windows had long been removed.

Seeing that it was getting dark, I had to decide to stay here first.
