There is no doubt that the population recruited by the Anton Dudu Mansion basically comes from the Central Plains and the north. Recruiting further south is more expensive, and it is more difficult for the people in the south to adapt to the climate in the northeast. In addition, the people in the south are also really
Rarely willing to leave a warm and comfortable environment.
And if the scope is further narrowed, the people recruited are concentrated in Henan, Hebei, and Yanshan. Among them, Han people from the Henan area account for almost 40% of the total.
In particular, the people who came to Qingmi and several states showed a positive and enthusiastic state. Not only because of the tempting conditions provided by the Andong Dudufu, but also with the rise of northern shipping in recent years, especially to Goryeo,
The trade routes between Japan and Liaodong were opened and expanded, and the local people's understanding of the outside world was also increasing.
As a famous maritime businessman returned from overseas with a full load, he made a lot of money and returned to his hometown in glory, attracting the attention of the local people. The spread of such a story of getting rich also aroused the desire to develop in the hearts of the local people. Not everyone is involved in business.
It can be done, but it requires both capital and luck. If you are not careful, you may lose everything.
For those farmers, the only thing they can rely on is their strength and farming skills. And what the Anton Governor's Office built for him was a beautiful blueprint and vision. In his hometown, he might just be a small farmer.
Small households also have to face the pressure of competition with their brothers in dividing the land and production. When you arrive in Anton, you will have another vast field. At the beginning, you will be a "landowner" with at least a hundred acres.
This is a direct improvement in class status, and according to the policies promoted by the Anton Governor's Office, there is no limit on the number of acres in Anton. As long as you have the ability to farm, you will not be suppressed even if you have 10,000 acres of land.
, even if it is transferred, there is no need to bear the high transaction tax like in the mainland.
Such conditions also inspired the desire and motivation of the children of Henan to venture into Anton. At the same time, as the imperial court encouraged people to have children and raise children, the population surged, and the private labor force began to become surplus.
For most farm families, the land is free to cultivate for the time being, but every family faces a problem, and that is the problem of property inheritance.
Not only emperors, nobles and bureaucrats need to face this problem, but also small farmers and small households. They may not have a strict inheritance system like the dignitaries, but they are inevitably favored and favored, no matter how widowed. Under such circumstances, some children
Sending it to Anton is also a good choice. You can also share part of the settlement fee, which is Huang Chengcheng's copper coins, and you can save a lot of food used in exchange for money to pay taxes.
With the support of many factors, immigration in Anton has just achieved good results, which is completely different from the situation in other parts of the Han Dynasty. Of course, this is also caused by the particularity of the Anton region.
At the same time, the immigrants of more than 100,000 people also have a distinctive feature. They are all armed immigrants, holding a knife in one hand and a plow in the other.
Although the Anton Governor's Mansion has nearly 20,000 troops, such a small army cannot take care of the huge Anton area. These new immigrants have to rely more on their own protection and must have certain self-defense capabilities.
Villages and forts, and militias protecting each other, are the self-defense policies formulated by the governor's government. Weapons are provided by the government. In addition to special equipment such as armor and hard crossbows, the weapons of these immigrants are very sophisticated, at least not comparable to those of the local barbarians.
In addition to the Han people from various states, some Hu people were also recruited, and the results were very good. Most of them were Xi people from Yanshan North Road.
The Han Dynasty has a vast territory and many ethnic groups. From south to north, although there are many die-hards who are undecided and unwilling to accept the king's rule, there are also some docile tribesmen. For example, the Qiang people, the Wenmo people, like the Tuyuhun people,
In the early years, there was a special Fan army in Hedong, but now it has completely disappeared in the long river of history and integrated into the Han people.
Similarly, the Xi people are also a relatively docile ethnic group. For ten years, they have been very obedient to the rule of the Han Dynasty. The Yanshan North Road is not as turbulent and troubled as expected.
There is a saying that this is thanks to the Khitan people's domestication of the Xi people, which was very good. Now, they just changed their master, a ruler with a gentle appearance and a "gentle" light all over him.
Of course, the fundamental reason lies in the strength of the Han Dynasty, the majesty of the imperial court, and in the process of the Han-Liao struggle for hegemony, the Xi people who were traumatized by the war also needed to recuperate, and the tribesmen also wanted to live a stable life, and
In addition to being stricter and more powerful in terms of control, the rule of the Han Dynasty was generally relatively mild.
In addition, the original Xi people's nobles and tribal leaders, headed by King Xi Ning, were also tamed and submissive by the court. They rarely cooperated. In addition to being deprived of their right to govern, they had all other rights. Most of them could still be in power.
A big man lived a life of superiority. If he performed well, he could become an official or a general, and even take part in the imperial examination.
Like Xi Wang Thou Ning, he is now living a happy life in Kaifeng, taking care of his old age with peace of mind. He has good food and clothing every day, and it is not difficult to meet Emperor Liu. But now, Thou Ning can no longer be called "King Xi". Emperor Liu is in Kaibao
In the eleventh year, the title of Chou Ning was changed to Duke of Hue. This was obviously different from the Han naming rules for titles, but it had far-reaching political significance.
As a result, nearly ten thousand Xi people were recruited by the Anton Governor's Palace to settle down in Anton and enjoy the same treatment. This was also supported by the central government.
In addition to attracting ordinary farmers and herdsmen from various places, there are also some people who have become powerful aids in development, and can even be said to be the main force.
That is a group mainly composed of nobles and bureaucrats' children. Of course, not many people are willing to let these high-ranking nobles go to Anton to make a living, and they are even resistant.
But there was no way. With Emperor Liu's instructions, the nobles and bureaucrats of the Han Dynasty had to behave. Even if it was just to cater to the emperor, they had to invest money and food and send their family members to go to Anton.
Emperor Liu once said something that no one can refute: My sons are working hard on the border and serving the country. Are the children of noble officials more valuable than them?
This sentence is so true that people have no choice but to follow the call of His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, among the noble and bureaucratic children who went to Anton, some went to be officials, some went to join the army, and some went to work in the entertainment industry.
Real estate industry.
There is also an unspoken rule that has always been popular in the imperial court, that is, people with extensive resumes have more opportunities to be promoted. For those who are interested in an official career, Anton is also a good place to go. After all, it is special.
It also attracted the attention of those in power in the DPRK.
Even though most of the descendants of the family who were sent to Anton were concubines or descendants of collateral families, the resources they could bring with them were obviously not comparable to those of ordinary farmers and herdsmen.
Small fights are not their style. Their development also has certain political goals. Their land enclosures are often thousands or even thousands of acres. After all, they have money and people, and the land, mountains and forests in the Northeast are
, mineral deposits, furs, medicinal materials and other resources, supplemented by Anton's loose policies, are indeed profitable.
Of course, Anton's land was not given away arbitrarily. Liu Xu made a stipulation, that is, how much land is given to you, you must cultivate it, there must be crops in the field, and there must be output in the field.
But this brings another problem, that is, the shortage of labor force. However, they have many methods, or they can spend money to recruit from the mainland. If they think the cost is high, they simply start a business without capital to capture serfs and bring those who are active in the local area
The indigenous barbarians who made their living by fishing and hunting were forced to the fields.
As a result, the "slave-catching industry" gradually emerged in Anton. Slave-catching teams organized by noble children even cooperated with the Anton army to eliminate local security. However, such behavior caused a considerable backlash.
, has also become one of the sources of turmoil in the Andong region.
But even so, there is still a shortage of people, and farming requires technical experience. It is not just someone who can pick up a hoe and cultivate a good field.
Later, some people even paid attention to the indigenous people in Annan and other areas and spent money to buy people from the south. Of course, the imperial court explicitly prohibited the keeping of private slaves and the sale of human beings, so similar behaviors were all covered by a "
"Employment".
Only in the Andong region can these acts of violence, power and exploitation be so blatant and justified.
Therefore, by the 17th year of Kaibao's founding, the newly populated immigrant population in Anton had exceeded 200,000. Of course, in addition to the above, there was another group of people that also played a role in promoting the development of Anton, and that was the merchants.
