The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

Yang Minghe used his own wood cutting knife to flatten all the broken branches that could hurt people on the log "floor" of the shack. Then he asked his wife to spread the bedding while he prepared to go around to see if there was any thatch or the like that could be used to cover the shack. Outside, you can protect yourself from the wind and rain while also avoiding the prying eyes of others.

As soon as he got out of the shack, he saw Manager Liu walking over and shouting: "The chiefs and corps chiefs have organized the heads of households under them and lined up in the open space in front of the camp, ready to listen to the boss' speech!"

Because Yang Minghe had studied for several years, he was lucky enough to be selected as the corps leader by Liu Sheng when he registered outside Xingji.

When he heard the greeting, he said to his wife: "Watch the two children."

"I know." Zhang Fen agreed.

Yang Minghe is from Yangzhuang Store in Zhenyang County. He is 28 years old this year. He married Zhang Fen ten years ago and has a son and a daughter. Their son Yang Xianwen is nine years old, and their daughter Yang Xiyan is seven years old.

Originally, my parents were still alive and in good health. I owned ten acres of land and opened a grocery store in Yangzhuang store, which was running smoothly.

Yang Minghe himself had an average talent in reading, but his son Yang Xianwen had a good talent. After he took over the grocery store, he ran it carefully and wanted to train his son to become a scholar or even a scholar.

Naihe became enmity with a clan elder because of business matters. Or perhaps it could be said that the clan leader was interested in his family's ten acres of land and grocery store, so he deliberately sought trouble.

The ancestors of that clan already had a son who worked as a bookkeeper in the county government. Last year, a nephew followed Liu Xicai, a subordinate of Shen Wandeng, the great bandit in Runing, who surrendered to the government and became the head of the county government's Zhuang Squad.

It was obviously the elder who was at fault and ruined his family's business, but when it came to the county government, it turned out to be his family's fault. None of them could see the county magistrate, so they were manipulated by the book office, the head catcher, and the jailer. As a result, their family fortune was wiped out and their parents died.

Yang Minghe was worried that the elders of the tribe would wipe out the roots, so he took his wife and children and secretly left Zhenyang and fled to the west while the other party was entangled in other things.

He originally brought some loose money and solid food to go to Xiangyang to join his relatives, but he was robbed by hungry people on the way. Not only was his loose money and dry food gone, but his two children were almost snatched away by the hungry people.

Yang Minghe tried his best with a hatchet and injured several people before he was able to escape with his family.

But because of this experience, both children are still a little afraid of people. Even after coming here, he has been huddled in the shack and dared not come out.

As for why their family came here, it was naturally because they had lost their money and could no longer survive.

Originally, the wife wanted to sell herself, but she didn't want to meet Liu Dong's family, so she had this unexpected encounter.

Yes, in Yang Minghe's view, his family's experience after meeting Liu Sheng can only be described as "adventure."

I originally thought he was an ordinary landowner, but he didn't want to buy more than a hundred refugees in Xingji at once, saying that he wanted to enter Tianmu Mountain to reclaim wasteland.

Yang Minghe didn't know much about Tianmu Mountain before. When he entered the mountain, he found that it was a stone mountain that was not suitable for reclamation at all. He only had two words left in his heart - it was over.

But because his wife's status was in the hands of Liu Sheng, and Liu Sheng promised to ensure that everyone did not starve to death and to protect them with force, Yang Minghe, like other refugees, was prepared to take every step.

But he didn't expect that after three days of cultivation in Liujiazhai, he would be taken through a fairy monastery in a cave and arrive at such a paradise.

Of course, according to Liu Sheng, this is another continent overseas. The land is fertile and its vastness is even greater than that of the Ming Dynasty.

He didn't know whether Liu Sheng had descended to earth to be banished to immortality, as most people had speculated, or whether what Liu Sheng said was true or false.

All he knew was that with such an adventure, good times were just around the corner, and he might even be able to follow Liu Sheng into a career where he would seek revenge.

Therefore, he must seize this opportunity!

He greeted the other four young men in his army, and then they lined up in the open space in front of the camp.

The method of queuing up is very simple, that is, the corps leader or chief stands in front, Wu Qingzhuang stands in the back, and tries to align with the people on the left and right.

There was a lot of practice in Liujiazhai in the past three days, and he also practiced privately with Wu Qingzhuang, so he was quickly arranged, even faster than some of the team captains who had received the notice first.

When Liu Sheng arrived, forty people were already lined up in eight columns.

Although he didn't know how many times he had met Liu Sheng, Yang Minghe still felt a strong pressure.

Not only because of Liu Sheng's tall body that stands out from the crowd, but also because of Liu Sheng's temperament that resembles that of a warrior on the battlefield. The reason why I say "seeming" is because this temperament is obviously different from the temperament of the officers and soldiers that Yang Minghe has seen from afar.

In short, it is not easy to mess with.

Liu Sheng clapped his hands to confirm that everyone was paying attention to him, and then started speaking in a loud voice.

"Speaking of which, you are the first batch of official immigrants I moved to North America, and also the first batch of Han people to settle here.

North America is a place with fertile land and abundant resources. The natives prefer fishing and hunting, not farming, and their number is not too large.

As long as we work hard here, we will never let our family die of cold or hunger, and we can even accumulate a good family fortune and pass it on to our children and grandchildren.

Of course, it is not easy to cultivate wasteland in this barbaric land. It can even be said to be very difficult.

But most of us are farmers, and I, the boss, will also provide you with some help, such as tools, seeds, and rations before everyone harvests food.

Therefore, as long as everyone is willing to work hard, listen to my arrangements, and abide by the regulations I have promulgated, and everyone unites as one, we will soon be able to gain a foothold on this land! "

Having said this, Liu Sheng paused for a while to give everyone time to absorb the information.

His words not only inspired everyone, but the core point is that everyone should listen to him.

Seeing that everyone was still quiet, Liu Sheng continued: "Some people may want to ask, boss, if you control so much and have such strict requirements, have we become your soldiers?

Yes and no. Why do you say that?

As I said before, in order to establish a foothold in North America, and even to cultivate enough fields and grow enough food as soon as possible, we need to unite as one.

But people's hearts are different, and we cannot unite by uniting. I can only use military law to restrain everyone.

But I understand in my heart that we are all ordinary people after all, not soldiers, so I don't really demand everyone like the army.

If you were in the army, would you be able to live with your wife and children? A serious army will definitely not work, unless you are coerced into the ranks of rogue bandits.

This kind of management method is what I call "semi-military control", which means it manages the people half way like an army.

I know that this approach may make everyone feel unfree and uncomfortable, so "semi-military control" will not last forever.

When enough fields have been cultivated and divided among everyone, and a small family can live well on this land, this "semi-military rule" will end. "

Having said this, Liu Sheng stopped again and gave everyone time to think.

This time many people found it difficult to remain silent and couldn't help but start talking to those around them.

"Do you really want to divide the land among us?"

"I just don't know when it will be divided."

"After allocating the land here, do we still need to pay the government taxes? Does the owner charge rent, and how much does it charge?"
