"It's still there, it's still there. The east side of the hall collapsed, but the rest is intact." Su Tong said quickly. He acted very humbly.
After all, this is an uncle and the deputy of Jinyiwei, and he is a close official of the emperor! Especially the man with a ferocious face behind him, holding in his arms is the Shang Fang Sword with an openwork golden dragon.
It is obvious at a glance that Yang Fan's status is definitely not as simple as that of an ordinary high-ranking official. Ordinary people can easily see such a noble person.
Yang Fan and his party came to Yong'an Temple. He did not go anywhere else and went straight to the Stele Pavilion. There are two stone steles from the Yongle period. After the stone steles were ceded to Maozi in later generations, they moved them away and are now in the Far Eastern Museum in Vladivostok.
Maozi demolished Yong'an Temple to eliminate the Chinese mark.
Yang Fan reached out and touched the stone tablet. He sighed for a long time. This was the ironclad proof that this was the homeland of China.
"The governor has brought twelve ships this time, and a large amount of supplies will be shipped later. Two thousand soldiers have arrived. Temple Street will be rebuilt, the earth will be packed with bricks, and the urn city, archery tower, horse face, and fort will be built.
.The pier also needs to be rebuilt.”
"I know you are homesick, but you can't leave now. The imperial court wants to rebuild Nuergandusi. It threatens the Jurchens in Jianzhou in the north. If things get better here and you want to return to the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely send a ship to take you home."
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound around them. They had been thinking about going home for two hundred years.
These people are all descendants of people from Jiangsu and Anhui, that is, soldiers of Huaiyou. They have passed down the wealth of their hometown, and it is normal for them to want to leave this bitter and cold place.
"Su Tong, please help me do something." Yang Fan said.
"Uncle, if you have an errand, Su Tong will never give up!" Su Tong said loudly.
"Send someone to inform the leaders of the Sauron tribes and the Beishan Jurchen tribes to come here to join me in an alliance. The Ming Dynasty will rebuild the Nurgandu Division and ennoble these people as officials to command their respective territories. The Ming Dynasty will give them salaries and supplies. And in the
Open a market in Temple Street and allow free trade."
After Yang Fan looked at the shocked people, he continued: "I want to go to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang first and let them wait here. When I come back, I will meet these leaders and give them official titles."
On the same day, the army was stationed in the city. Following Yang Fan were two battalions of servants, as well as more than a thousand sailors from the Japan Sea Fleet.
After the army was stationed, according to custom, they immediately started clearing the snow, repairing the log walls, transporting garbage and other tasks. Yang Fan's soldiers loved cleanliness, and their first priority was to clean up wherever they went.
The engineers used explosives to drill holes and blast open the permafrost. Without explosions, the ground was frozen, just like steel. When you hit it with a pickaxe, you would see a white spot. After repairing the log city wall, they also blasted out the trench. The engineers had modern saws.
, logging quickly. The city wall was quickly repaired. Wooden watchtowers and arrow towers were also erected every fifty meters.
The snow in the city was also cleared away. Roads were repaired. Public baths and public toilets were also built in the city. Well houses were built, and engineers used explosives to dig a deep well with a diameter of five meters to provide a clean water source.
.
The people in the city were actually a little afraid of the army. In this era, military discipline was not good. There were very few civilized troops like the Yue Family Army who could freeze to death without tearing down their houses or starve to death without looting. However, they soon became interested in
These young men of seventeen or eighteen years old became enthusiastic.
These people never disturb the people and do not live in people's homes. They build their own cotton tents to live in. They do business fairly, treat people kindly, and work every day to renovate the city.
Even the main hall of Yong'an Temple has been repaired. The golden body of the Buddha statue has also been remodeled. A new scrapyard has been built next to the pier in the north of the city. It is said to be used for trade.
The open space in the east of the city was originally a hilly area. After being blasted and leveled, a school ground was built to train the army. A commercial street was also planned and schools were opened in the city so that ordinary people could go to school. A medical clinic was also opened.
, providing free medical treatment to the people. Each person can also take a free bath in the newly built bathhouse once a month.
In the square in front of the government office, a new Xinghe Bank has been opened on the east side. A Xinghe Supermarket has been opened on the west side. They are all newly built wooden houses. But they have not opened yet. I heard that they have to wait for the subsequent Siamese shipping.
The market will only open when supplies come in.
In almost a few days, Temple Street became like no one recognized by the people here. It was even more comfortable here than the legendary hometown of Jianghuai.
Yang Fan went to the office the next day, re-registered household registrations for all 5,697 people, and issued grain books. With household registration, they could manage effectively.
It's bitterly cold here and life is difficult, so we can't keep people here. Yang Fan plans to increase the benefits for everyone. Free medical care, free education, free housing. We can provide everything you can. Only you can't think of it, and there's nothing Yang Fan can't do.
With the grain book, you can buy three kilograms of cornmeal for one penny. There are also affordable salt and oil. By ensuring that everyone is full, you can win people's hearts the fastest.
This is a border area, so it's not okay if we can't keep people here.
Yang Fan also planned to provide subsidies for giving birth to children. Boys would be given 50 kilograms of rice and girls would be given two pieces of cloth. Obstetricians and gynecologists and nurses would be trained to deliver babies. They would be encouraged to come to medical centers to give birth. This would reduce the mortality rate during childbirth.
In addition, subsidies are also given for marrying a wife. If a wife cannot be found, the government will provide money to buy young girls from the Beishan Jurchens and Sauron people and give them to them. After marriage, they will be given a wooden house.
Only with the fetters of family can they take root in this wild land with peace of mind and firmly guard the land of Ming Dynasty.
Yang Fan redistributed more than 5,000 people to seven hereditary 100 households, and prepared to report to the court to appoint Su Tong as the commander. After all, 5,900 people were enough for one guard. There should be five thousand households.
Of course, it normally refers to the number of strong men. The number of strong men here is only about a thousand.
However, Yang Fan believed that he could not chill the hearts of the soldiers. He prepared to report and set this place as the Temple Street Guard. Let Su Tong be the commander and then promote relevant officials. There will be five thousand-household stations. If there are not enough people, Yang Fan will transport the refugees later.
to supplement.

On the second day, the household registration was completed, and on the third day, Yang Fan began to go door to door, visiting each household according to the population registered in the household registration.
Now these people have all returned to the Ming Dynasty. They must be rewarded for their perseverance for so many years.
According to the population of each family, each person is given ten kilograms of rice, one kilogram of refined salt, and a fifty kilogram bucket of canned braised sea fish. In addition, each person is given a piece of cloth.
These people were immediately excited. They had not seen any pieces of cloth for many years. Even though there were thousands of pieces of cloth left in the treasury, after two hundred years, there were only a few pieces left. Over time, they had all deteriorated. For a time, the whole city was covered with cloth.
There were thunderous cheers, just like the Chinese New Year.
Yang Fan also specially asked the cooking team to use the field cooking truck to make a meal of dumplings stuffed with venison and wild onions for everyone. Because the only venison and semi-dried wild onions in the city were venison.
Flour is a legendary food for these people. It has not been seen for two hundred years.
Both adults and children were crying with hunger, as if they were celebrating the New Year. Things like soy sauce and rice vinegar have not been seen for many years. There are only brewing masters here, and no one who knows how to make vinegar.
Yang Fan forced these people to take a hot bath, rub off the old mud and antifreeze grease, remove the parasites on their bodies, and then issued brand new three-layer clothes inside and outside, plus cotton army coats, felt boots, and dog skins
hat.
There are serious infectious diseases such as plague and hemorrhagic fever here. They prey on marmots, otters, and mice. Minks also have rabies. It is impossible not to pay attention to hygiene. Yang Fan's soldiers do not have their resistance. If the plague breaks out, they will
All destroyed.
It seems that things here are almost settled. Yang Fan is ready to set off, patrol along the Heilongjiang River, and go to the upper reaches of the Onan River to have a look.
It’s an unexpected surprise that there are survivors of the Ming Dynasty here.
At this time, Mr. Wu came in and said: "The proprietor is in trouble. I watched the sky last night and looked at the king's energy. I found that the luck of the northern dragon has begun to shift. The northern dragon has a tendency to turn around and go south. From the outside
The Xing'an Mountains went south again. It followed the mountains east of the Wusuli River, returned south to the Changbai Mountains in Liaodong, and then entered North Korea and the Japanese Islands."
