"Government!" Everyone heard this strange title, but they had never heard it before. It was quite unique to be their unique title for Qu Shuai! They quickly accepted it. After all, hundreds of years ago, Qin Shihuang wanted to show his "virtue"
Concurrently with the Three Emperors, his merits surpassed those of the Five Emperors and "generalized the Emperor"
The two highest titles in the world, "Emperor", were combined as his own title. From then on, the Emperor was called the Emperor. Now it makes sense for Qu Shuai to create a ruling word alone to express his achievements!
Xu Wei continued: "Now that we have finished talking about the founding of the People's Republic of China, let's talk about Jizhou. Now Jizhou only has a population of about 3 million to 4 million, which is less than half of Jizhou's peak. However, there are nearly 10 million people in the mountainous area of Bingzhou.
This population ratio is not good for either state. I plan to immigrate 1 million tribesmen from Bingzhou to Jizhou this year, and then migrate one million people every year, half to Jizhou and half to Youzhou, until the population of Bingzhou drops to 500
Ten thousand!"
In recent years, Bingzhou has been over-developed in the hands of Xu Wei. A lot of terraces have been built to accommodate the refugees, and a lot of manpower and material resources have been spent to build water conservancy in the mountains. The output is not high, and it is easy to cause water and soil problems.
Instead of cultivating terraced fields on the mountain, it is better to plant some fruit trees and become raw materials for wineries. Because of the need to save food, wine made from grain within the Tengjia Army has been banned. The entire Tengjia Army now drinks
wine!
But Jizhou is a bit deserted. This era is extremely demonic. When Xu Wei first came to this world, Jizhou had a population of about 8 million, of which nearly one million were refugees! It seemed as if Jizhou was already so populated that it was about to explode.
.
But in fact, there are still many places in Jizhou that have not been developed. Bohai County has a large number of swamps. Hejian Kingdom, Zhongshan Kingdom, and even Zhao Kingdom have large swamps. There is also a giant lake in Daluze in Julu.
The area is actually not much smaller than Poyang Lake in later generations. It can be said that Jizhou at this time had more rivers and lakes than the modern south. If all these swamps can be reclaimed, it will not be a problem at all according to millions of refugees! Even twice as many will not be a problem.
!
But the reality is that ordinary people do not have the manpower and material resources to reclaim the swamps, the organizational power at the grassroots level of the government has collapsed, and officials are corrupt and cannot handle such a large project. The only wealthy nobles who have the energy to do such a project are unwilling to do such a laborious project.
Unpleasant things.
Rather than struggling to reclaim swamps, the powerful nobles prefer to seize the land from the people. As for creating refugees and destabilizing the world, they don't care at all. After all, the world belongs to the Liu family and what does it have to do with them!
So something magical happened. On the one hand, there were still a lot of swamps in Jizhou that could be reclaimed, but on the other hand, there were millions of refugees in Jizhou! A large number of people rebelled because they didn't have enough to eat!
Old Man Niu worriedly said: "Our Tengjia Army's foreign debt has exceeded 30 billion, and now we need such a large number of immigrants, I'm afraid our finances will be overwhelmed!"
Although the Tengjia Army's financial income is high, its expenses are also very huge. Not to mention the war involving hundreds of thousands of people this time, millions of people immigrated to Youzhou last year, which is still a huge expense.
It can be said that the Tengjia Army has been in a state of being unable to make ends meet in the past few years! It is always bad for Old Man Niu and the others to owe money, let alone tens of billions of dollars. The interest on this debt alone will cost them every year.
Nearly 1 billion dollars, it can be said that every senior member of the Tengjia Army is heartbroken!
Xu Weidao said: "The land in Bingzhou is not suitable for reclamation. We have over-cultivated it in recent years. If this continues, God will retaliate against us! So even if we continue to borrow debt, we must move the tribesmen in Bingzhou to Jizhou!"
Xu Wei was thinking about the mudslides and land desertification in later generations. Even in this era, there are already a lot of deserts in Bingzhou, and even deserts have appeared! If there was no other way, Xu Wei would not want to cultivate terraces in the mountainous areas. This is not only dangerous.
, the output is still low!
Xu Wei continued: "Now there are a lot of wastelands and swamps in Jizhou. These swamps drain the water and become fertile land. With the infrastructure construction capabilities of our Tengjia Army, the wastelands and swamps in Jizhou will soon be
It can become fertile farmland. It can be said that one acre of farmland in Jizhou is better than 10 acres of land in the mountains of Bingzhou. Our Tengjia Army members will know how to choose!"
Zhang Baiqi said: "As long as there are enough cadres and sufficient material and financial support, I can resettle 2 million tribesmen within this year!"
Xu Wei immediately said: "Haste makes waste, relocating so many people has already put great pressure on us in Jizhou!"
But Zhang Baiqi said: "Although Jizhou is the granary of the Han Dynasty, its water conservancy facilities are extremely poor. The water conservancy facilities in Jizhou are not as good as those in Mayi. The roads are also simple loess roads. There are no cement roads.
There are also no rail carriages that began to spread throughout Youzhou. The officials of the Han Dynasty really wasted such a good foundation in Jizhou!"
Jizhou is a vast plain. To build a canal here, there is no need to climb over mountains or raise the canal. As long as it is built on flat land, the water will flow into the distant land along the canal. It can be said that building water conservancy facilities in Jizhou
It is 10 times easier and 10 times less expensive than Bingzhou. However, there are not many water conservancy facilities in Jizhou. After all, the fields near the water sources are occupied by wealthy nobles. They will not waste resources building canals. For them, the farmland in the hands of ordinary people is not
The water source is better, which makes it easier for them to control the price of food!
Xu Wei asked: "What do you think?"
Zhang Baiqi said: "Restore the fields in Jizhou, build canals, and turn 30% of the land in Jizhou into irrigated land. In addition, we need to build rail carriages in every county in Jizhou to connect the entire Jizhou into one!"
Old Man Wang was surprised and said: "You have to do so many things. Our annual fiscal revenue is not enough for you. You are more handsome than Qu, no, you are even more prodigal in power. We have so much money from you!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Wang Ge also stopped and said: "We still have hundreds of thousands of tribes to resettle here, and millions of people are waiting for our rewards. These are the Tengjia
The army is not the most important thing in China. Even if you want to build water conservancy and railways, you must first reward the heroes!"
The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers. The Tengjia Army has been invincible since its establishment. In addition to the modern system and equipment brought by Xu Wei, generous rewards are also one of the reasons!
In this era, the best way to keep the army's combat effectiveness is, of course, rewards!
Becoming a member of the Tengjia Army can be said to have entered the middle class of China. If you are lucky, you can get money, house, land, job and wife without dying in battle! It can be said that the Tengjia Army soldiers
It has always been the most popular in the marriage and love market!
Of course, such a huge reward would consume a huge amount of money. If the Tengjia Army had not always been rich in loot, and every time they occupied a land, they immediately attacked local tyrants and divided the fields to get a lot of money. Xu Weidu may not have been able to maintain the Tengjia Army. It can be said that the Tengjia Army
The strength and strict discipline of Army A are supported by a large amount of money!
In this battle in Jizhou, a lot of food was seized, enough to feed the entire Chinese people for a month, but there was not much money. The noble families in Jizhou had experienced several blows, and later in order to resist the Tengjia Army,
All the money was spent on recruiting soldiers, so there was not much oil and water.
This time Wang Ge planned to propose financial rewards to the soldiers who have made meritorious services. How could he see Hua's finances being spent by Zhang Baiqi like this! If they were all used to build Jizhou's infrastructure, there would be no money to reward the soldiers.
And without rewards, the Chinese tradition of being happy when hearing a war would probably be cut off in his hands!
But Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "Rewarding soldiers can be solved in Jizhou! For example, the millions of civilians who help us transport food can each get 40 acres of land. This is the best farmland in Jizhou. I think they will be satisfied!"
Wang Ge thought that this was Jizhou's land, and few people would refuse it. After all, to farmers, Jizhou's land was equivalent to a house in Beijing in later generations!
Zhang Baiqi continued: "Now Jizhou is short of cadres, both in the city and in the countryside. Wounded and retired soldiers can be trained in Jizhou for three months to become captains, township heads, and even county magistrates in Jizhou, as long as they have the ability.
, I will not hesitate to promote you!"
Wang Ge thought for a while and said: "There are really not many people who can refuse the land of Jizhou, but those who become cadres are only a few after all. Even if we occupy the entire Jizhou, it is enough to promote a few thousand people, but this time we are
Hundreds of thousands of people have retired!"
This is also the practice of the Tengjia Army. There are only tens of thousands of standing troops retained in Jizhou. The remaining soldiers can only retire and wait for the next recruitment. After all, the cost of the Tengjia Army's standing army is too high, even for the Tengjia Army.
It’s hard to support financially!
Zhang Baiqi laughed and said: "Everyone has forgotten that the Bohai Sea also has a coastline. I plan to build several salt drying fields in Bohai County, and the salt will be sold to the Central Plains. In addition to the salt fields, I also plan to learn from Youzhou to start an industry."
The center specializes in building shipyards, fish and meat canneries, steel plants, barrel factories, etc., and Jizhou needs to build tracks. After the tracks are repaired, workers such as coachmen, stationmasters, and flight attendants will be needed. These scattered things add up.
Tens of thousands of workers are needed, and the quotas for these workers can be given to retired soldiers!"
After Zhang Baiqi said this, most of the resettlement of these heroes was solved! Even Wang Ge couldn't say anything for a while! After all, the treatment of workers within the Tengjia Army is relatively high, especially in state-owned factories.
The highest in China, basically no one in China would refuse to become a worker!
Zhang Baiqi saw that Wang Ge was persuaded and turned around and said to Xu Wei: "In power, Jizhou now lacks the population, and Hua needs to resettle heroes. It is better to use the money to resettle heroes in Jizhou. I will resettle these heroes in Jizhou."
All right!"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "Then I will leave all the funds for settling civilian husbands and retired soldiers to you, but you must arrange the heroes this time. If they are wronged, I will settle the score with you!"
Zhang Bai rode on the horse and said: "My subordinates will definitely complete this task well!"
Xu Wei thought for a while and said: "I still have a problem here. The Dingling and Fuyu people on the grassland continue to encroach on our pastures, and we have spent our energy on the big men in the past few years and have relaxed our guard against them. There have been many
There are few pastures occupied by them.”
"So now the desert needs herdsmen to guard the border, but the herdsmen who came to Jizhou this time did not want to go back, but wanted to stay in Jizhou. They even wanted to bring their families to Jizhou, but now there is no shortage of them on the grassland.
These herdsmen who are experienced in combat, do you have any way to get them back to the grassland without damaging their morale?"
Everyone present thought about it for a long time, but no one came up with a good idea. The climate in the desert is really too harsh. Although this era is the Little Ice Age, the Yanshan Mountains block the cold wind in the north. The temperature in Jizhou is at most several degrees below zero.
degrees, the snow can fall up to one foot deep, but in the desert winter is basically minus ten degrees, or even more than 20 degrees. Drops of water turn into ice. This is the desert. When the white disaster comes, even houses can be submerged. The climate is so bad that this
It looks like the sky is like the sky compared to the earth in Jizhou. No wonder the herdsmen want to stay in Jizhou!
Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and said: "My subordinates believe that the land in Jizhou is full of mature soil, complete infrastructure, and easy to develop, while the land in Liaodong is not only barren, but also has a cold climate that makes it difficult for people to live. Instead of wasting money on
In the Liaodong region, it is better to focus on developing Jizhou, and when Jizhou is fully developed, we will do the same to develop Liaodong!"
"As for the Dingling and Fuyu people, it's easy to deal with them. Now that Jizhou is in our hands, food will no longer be our shortcoming. We can use sleigh blitzes to capture the tribes within a thousand miles of the desert in the winter, and disperse the herdsmen in Youzhou.
Or arrange to build tracks and roads in Jizhou. There are not many people in Dingling and Fuyu. After suffering several such blitzes, they will naturally die. In this way, we can win without a fight!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Wei patted his forehead. He had really forgotten this. Ding Ling and the Fuyu people would become an obstacle to the Tengjia Army because the Tengjia Army had food in the past.
There is a shortage of food, and it is difficult to even feed his own tribe. Naturally, he cannot accept the Dingling and Fuyu people. But now that Jizhou has obtained it, the food problem will be solved soon. From now on, the Dingling and Fuyu people are not an obstacle, but a group of people.
A valuable human resource!
Xu Wei still agreed with the solution to the Ding Ling and Fuyu people, but he did not agree with Zhang Baiqi's suggestion to stop developing the Liaodong area. People of this era regarded Liaodong as a miserable place, but he knew the black soil of Liaodong.
The potential is the largest granary of the Celestial Dynasty in the future. It can be said that the potential is greater than that of Jizhou!
Huang Long, who was stationed in Liaodong, said: "In power, the earth in Liaodong is indeed not much worse than the desert. If it is grazing, my subordinates will not object, but it is very difficult to cultivate the fields. For us, we are afraid that the gain outweighs the loss!"
But Xu Wei still said firmly: "The development of Liaodong cannot be stopped. This year, 50,000 people will continue to immigrate to Liaodong County to establish an immigration stronghold. We must move to the north step by step! This process cannot be stopped. In the future, Liaodong will become our Tengjia Army."
The largest granary, today’s investment will definitely yield hundreds of times the harvest in the future, and we are reclaiming a new home for future generations. This is something that will benefit thousands of generations. We cannot stop because of this small difficulty.
Come down!"
Seeing Xu Wei's firm refusal, everyone said nothing. After all, judging from their previous experience, the person in charge is the one with the most far-sighted vision among them!
