After the horse parade, Bao Xin treated the 30,000 people to a feast. After eating, he announced that each person could take home 10 pounds of brown sugar, which aroused cheers from everyone. No one expected that this reward would be given to everyone. Not in vain.
In this way, the entire Yizhou Island was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and this conference to commend advanced people came to a successful conclusion.
The next day!
The place where Zhu Hai lived was very lively. Zhu Hai came back with his cattle and other prizes. A plaque with the name Yizhou's advanced individuals was placed on a special altar table, which was the same as the ancestors of Minshui Village. Rank, Zhu Hai's fellow villagers looked at him with envy and jealousy.
The old village chief even took Zhu Hai's hand and said: "I've known since I was a child that you are a capable boy. The village will be handed over to you from now on. The imperial court of Daqian values you so much. You have to work hard and strive to win." Our Minshui Village also has a high-ranking official!"
In this era, it was almost impossible for the Han Dynasty and the head of Guizhou to achieve a class leap. The princes who could be named in the late Han Dynasty, whether they were from poor families or wealthy families, were always from powerful families. Liu Bei, who had the lowest status, was also a clan member of the Han Dynasty.
What is even more desperate is that even the rebellious Zhang Jiao is from a famous family, and most of his subordinates are from poor families. Even in such troubled times, the way for ordinary Guizhou leaders to advance is severely blocked.
This solidified world makes ordinary Guizhou leaders just want to survive and no longer have other ideas.
However, the head of Minshui Village saw the possibility of Guizhou's leadership among the powerful men commended this time. Zhu Hai might become the first official in his village.
Zhu Hai smiled awkwardly and said: "Captain Bao told me that someone will pick me up in 10 days and ask me to go to Yizhou Prefecture to observe the government and learn from them how to handle government affairs."
The whole place fell into silence as soon as these words were spoken. What the old village chief said just now was just words of hope, but now I heard what Zhu Hai meant in his words, he was about to become an official.
For a moment, people who were envious, jealous, and congratulatory all surrounded Zhu Hai.
The old village chief was even more happy and said with tears: "Okay, okay, our village finally has an official. From now on, you must work hard and repay us for being in power. If it weren't for the wise old man in power, he would treat you like this." When the mountain village boy digs it out, you must always remember the kindness of the old man who governs him."
Ma Luo also looked at Zhu Hai with a complicated expression. He was obviously his younger brother, and now he was so prosperous. Maybe he would have to rely on Zhu Hai in the future, but there was a trace of happiness in his heart for Zhu Hai's rapid rise, and a trace of happiness in his heart. Regret and jealousy, if he had worked hard when cutting sugar cane, maybe he could become one of those 100 people, but it was too late to say anything now.
The old village chief said loudly: "To celebrate the emergence of an official in our village, our whole village held a banquet to celebrate Zhu Hai!"
Hundreds of villagers around him cheered loudly.
This lively atmosphere was not limited to Zhu Hai and the others, because more than 90 advanced representatives also stole the show. When these people returned home, the first thing they did was to treat guests. They invited all their relatives and friends to let the people around know. A big man with a glorious family name has emerged from his village, and even the ancestors lying underground will all benefit from it.
So for the next month, Yizhou had banquets almost every day. There were no officials in the village, so they could only eat and drink in an atmosphere of envy, jealousy and hatred for a month.
The other side convinced them and started busy government affairs. After cutting the sugar cane, they had to find a way to resettle these villagers.
Bao Xindao: "We are implementing the big village plan throughout Daqian. It is best to have about 1,000 people in a village. This will facilitate our management and save administrative expenses."
Just adding the savages in the entire Yizhou, there will be nearly 100,000 people. According to this plan, it will probably take less than 1,000 villages to resettle these villagers.
Of course, Daqian's sugar cane farms require tens of thousands of people, and Yizhou towns require workers for iron smelting, fishing, shipbuilding, and textiles. These factories will probably divert more than half of the population. In other words, he has the most Only a few hundred villages are arranged.
Tian Feng frowned and said: "There is a large plain in the south of Yizhou. It is not a problem to house tens of thousands of people, but management becomes a problem. Now there are many savages in Yizhou and few in Dagan. Especially those savages, except for They know almost nothing about hunting. If no one teaches them, it will be difficult for them to survive in our country. But if we let everyone live together with the savages, it will easily cause conflicts. It is best for the court to send more people to Yizhou. When our population accounts for more than half, the development of Yizhou can truly be on the right track."
But Bao Xin said: "Don't think of me, Da Qian, as the court of the Han Dynasty. The barbarians are also human beings. As long as we treat them fairly, there will be no trouble. The reason why so many barbarians in the Han Dynasty rebelled is because the nobles and nobles do not treat them as human beings." Look, I, Dagan, treat them all equally. Yuanhao looks at the Xianbei, Huns, Qiang, and Lingding people in the north. They have never rebelled in the hands of our Dagan. Now they have become the most die-hard Dagan. People, I think these savages are the best to manage. They have pure minds. As long as you are good to them, they will be good to you, so you don’t need to think too much about fancy methods. Of course, Luton and laziness are their shortcomings. We We need to find ways to improve this.”
"The best solution for them who don't know how to make a living is to teach them farming according to the method we used this time. In this way, we can arrange 200 households of refugees in a village, and each household will arrange five savages for them to serve as apprentices. , let them teach these savages to farm, no one will refuse such free labor in the future, and we will divide the grain harvest according to 30-70, savages get 3, refugees get 7, our Yizhou Prefecture does not collect taxes, wait 5 years later , these savages have also learned to farm. We are dividing the fields for these savages, and at the same time, we can collect taxes normally. This week, there will be no more than 100,000 savages at most. According to this method, we can assimilate them into Dagan people in only 5 years. .”
Tian Feng thought for a moment that this was a good method. After all, what Yizhou is lacking now is labor force. Using this method to train savages is a cost-effective thing for big money.
Yizhou's current population is less than 100,000, which is still too small for Tian Feng. According to his plan, the entire island should have a population of 3 million. In this way, Yizhou's wealth can catch up with Luoyang in the past, and there is sugar production.
In this industry, Tian Feng is confident that such a plan can work.
