    In an open space outside the tent, the surrounding herdsmen gathered, each with a sad look on their face. After only a few days of peaceful life, the court actually said that they would immigrate them to Australia.

    "The herdsmen have no idea about Australia. They don't know where it is or what the situation is like. They don't want to leave the grasslands, let alone go to Australia.

    Li Dahai came over with Batu and looked at the official who came to publicize the order. His name was Zhang Qing and he was a government official in Shuanghu Town.

    "Dear herdsmen, the imperial court has issued a decree, ordering everyone to move to Australia to serve as pastoralists for the Emperor and to herd sheep and horses for the Ming Dynasty. All herdsmen who go to Australia will receive 5,000 acres of private pasture for each household, and the grazing rights of the pasture.  It belongs to your family forever.¡±

    "The imperial court will be responsible for transporting your family, cattle, sheep, horses and living supplies to Australia, and will also provide a one-time settlement fee of fifty taels of silver."

    Zhang Qing first read out the imperial edict in Ming Dynasty Mandarin, and then translated it in Prairie dialect.

    "Master Zhang, can we not go?"

    Someone asked weakly after listening.

    "You may not be able to go even if you want to. Your Naiman tribe needs to move 10,000 people to Australia this time. There is only a one-tenth chance of being able to go to Australia."

    ¡°If you want to go, you still have to look at your luck. Only if you win the lottery can you go.¡±

    "Each family has 5,000 acres of private pasture. There are so many people who want to go."

    Zhang Qing looked at the other party, smiled and said.

    "Master Zhang, where is Australia?"

    "Is it true that there are 5,000 acres of private pasture?"

    "Is it suitable for grazing over there?"

    When others heard this, they immediately felt a lot more relieved. Only one in 10 people migrated to Australia, and it was still done by lottery, which means that most people can continue to stay on the grasslands, which makes everyone feel more at ease.

    ¡°Then he immediately became concerned about Australia and the 5,000 acres of private pasture.

    "Australia is far away from our country, thousands of miles away. We first have to go to Tianjin, and then it takes more than a month of boat ride from Tianjin to reach Australia."

    "However, although Australia is far away from our Ming Dynasty, the climate there is very comfortable, very humid, rich in water and grass, and the land is vast and sparsely populated. It is definitely the best place for grazing. We have heavy snow now, but here in Australia,  Now the sun is shining brightly and it¡¯s very warm.¡±

    "Five thousand acres of private pasture. This is true. It is an imperial edict issued by the emperor. It is absolutely true to its word. Not only you prairie people, but also the Han people in the customs have immigrated to Australia in large numbers. They can also get five thousand acres of pasture.  .¡±

    "With these five thousand acres of pasture, you can divide this pasture into many areas, and continue to take turns grazing sheep and horses in each area. By then, you will no longer need to live everywhere chasing water and grass, and you can fix it.  , build a beautiful house, and grow some vegetables, fruits, wheat, corn, etc. on your own land, your life will only be better than now."

    Zhang Qing took out a map and began to tell everyone about the geographical location and climate conditions of Australia.

    "Sir Zhang, do you really have 5,000 acres of private pasture?"

    When Li Dahai heard this, he quickly asked.

    "Actually, it's more than 5,000 acres. There aren't many Ming people here in Australia right now. You are the first batch of herdsmen to migrate there. Once you arrive, you can also ride horses to enclosure the land. It's up to your ability to enclosure as much as you can," the court said.  Does 5,000 acres really mean that only 5,000 acres are enclosed? If you have the ability, you can enclose 10,000 acres of grassland and no one will care about you. Anyway, Australia is vast and sparsely populated, so there is plenty of land."

    Zhang Qing smiled and said.

    Hearing Zhang Qing's words, Li Dahai was moved. As a Han Chinese, he actually didn't like this kind of nomadic life, but his mother-in-law was a grassland person and was used to a herding life. It would definitely not work for her to abandon her cattle and sheep.

    If you can move to Australia and have your own fixed pasture, you can settle down and continue grazing cattle and sheep. This life will be ideal.

    "Will the court lie to people?"

    A herdsman thought for a while and said.

    "When did the imperial court lie to you? The imperial court said it would not collect your taxes for three years. Has it collected your taxes now?"

    "The imperial court said it would ensure that your herdsmen have the food and grass they need to survive the winter. We also transport a lot of food and hay to the grassland in the middle of winter. Have we deceived you?"

    "YouThe Han people are even more powerful. After eating mutton all his life, his favorite thing now is boiled mutton, which tastes extremely tender.

    Liu Jin smiled and nodded, took a sip of tea, and looked outside Shuanghu Town. He could see herdsmen driving cattle, sheep and horses towards Shuanghu Town in the wind and snow.

    The imperial court¡¯s decree has spread across the grasslands, and herders preparing to migrate to Australia have begun to gather in small towns.

    "I didn't expect it to go so smoothly. I thought I would have to use up my hands and feet."

    Liu Jin couldn¡¯t help but sigh in his heart.

    This time I came to the grassland, of course, it was not as simple as just coming to the grassland to eat mutton. Emperor Hongzhi actually had a secret mission for Liu Jin.

    Relocating grassland people overseas is a long-term national policy that the imperial court has formulated, and it must be done well from the beginning.

    Liu Jin was sent to the grassland to prevent herdsmen who were unwilling to move to Australia and cause trouble. Therefore, Liu Jin still has 50,000 cavalry on the grassland. If there is any change in the grassland tribes on the grassland or someone  Disobey the court's orders.

    " Then Liu Jin will use thunderous means to quell all turmoil on the grassland and resolutely implement the court's policy.

    However, what I didn¡¯t expect was that things went smoothly. Even if some people were unwilling to migrate to Australia, no one dared to resist the imperial court¡¯s will. The herdsmen who had received the lottery began to gather in small towns according to the order, preparing to go to Australia.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
