Chapter 208 The Direction of Beisha's Direction
Fuyu City appeased Han Qianxun, and Zou Yu and Bai Suhua set off for Jian'an, because the newly acquired four counties have not yet been developed, and they need to arrange the work after the year.
Of course, passing through Liaodong, I must go to visit Qu Tutong, Qu Tutong is old and strong, quite incorruptible, also in his sixties, still energetic, good appetite.
I don't know if it's because of returning to his hometown, Qu Tutong is very happy, his face is full of red light, he keeps smiling, seeing Zou Yu, Qu Tutong expressed his gratitude, and at the same time laughed and asked Zou Yu not to transfer him in the future, just let him die of old age.
Of course, Zou Yu smiled and agreed, Qu Tutong sat in Liaodong, and his youngest son Qu Tuquan was around to help, and as for his eldest son Qu Tushou, he was arranged by Zou Yu in Fushun, which can be said to have given their family a lot of power.
Of course, Qu Tutong also understands his significance in Liaodong, one is to stabilize the relationship between various ethnic groups, and the other is to use his fame to manage and coordinate the relationship between all counties and counties in Liaodong, after all, many people are transferred later, Liu Jin and the original leaders of various tribes in Liaodong, like Chen Xing, Kedu, and Mohui, are not familiar with the people who have been transferred.
With Qu Tutong in the middle, it is convenient for everyone to communicate with each other, and only he is the most suitable, and the rest is Luo Yi, but it is inconvenient for him to be transferred, as for Han Qianxun, his reputation is a little worse.
Since Qu Tutong understands, he naturally does a good job, except for handling and conveying some orders, he never interferes indiscriminately, of course, the supervision of various counties and counties has not been relaxed.
After only staying in Liaodong City for a day, he set off for Jian'an, and Liu was stationed in Jian'an, in charge of the four counties of Beisha, one was to guard Goguryeo, and the other was to facilitate communication between Liaodong and Beisha.
The whole peninsula is low in the west and high in the south, the south is mostly mountainous, and the west belongs to the plains, and there are many rivers, convenient transportation, and the population is also much larger.
Although the population of these four counties has decreased a lot due to the war, there are also 280,000 people, which can be said to have directly doubled the population of Liaodong.
However, because of this, it brings a lot of pressure, both for management and how to govern, which is quite difficult.
With the sudden need to take over more than 200,000 people, and the evacuation of all the Goguryeo soldiers, one can imagine how chaotic it will be, especially the vast majority of officials, who also ran away, leaving at most local officials who were born and raised.
Fortunately, at that time, the Liaodong soldiers took over quickly, arrested a group of troublemakers, and threw them into the mining area, which stabilized public order.
The current management personnel are almost all poor children recruited by Daxing, and they have taken up their posts after simple training.
I have to say that compared with the children of the family, the knowledge and ability of the children of the poor family are generally much worse, which is entirely because the knowledge is too narrow and the knowledge is too little.
This kind of acquired conditions are insufficient, resulting in a lack of ability, and more time must be spent on training to be competent. Fortunately, the children of poor families basically have the advantages of bearing hardships and standing hard work and learning with an open mind.
After being educated and brainwashed, they all put down their bodies and studied seriously about things they didn't understand, even if they were just farmers.
From the side of Buyeo City, many experienced people were sent to guide, especially the storyteller, who was not only responsible for storytelling, but also taught Chinese.
It must be said in Chinese, this is a mandatory order issued by Zou Yu, the four counties of Beisha, everything is as usual, and tax exemption for one year, this is a benefit for them, and it is also to buy the hearts of the people.
In addition to this, there is a decree that must be carried out, that is, all people, the land must be redistributed according to the population, whether it is the common people, the landlords, or the officials.
Because so many people have passed, it is inevitable that they have said a lot about the policies of Liaodong and other cities, so those landlords and rich households panicked, and many chose to flee.
However, this is all expected, in addition to giving Zhengda the opportunity to confiscate their family property, it is to contribute to the cause of the mining area.
A small number of people with bad intentions will not have much impact on the overall situation, and under the coercive order, they will be like a mantis arm as a car, and they will soon disappear.
Beisha is a new place for salt production, and it is also a base for the navy, and Lu Mingyue was appointed as the guard of Beisha City, considering that he was familiar with the nature of the water and could train the navy.
Craftsman supervisor for Yang Guang to build dragon boats, for shipbuilding, has rich experience, Zou Yu knows that sea ships and river ships because of the wind and wave resistance, so the structure is different, the difference is quite big, the specific difference, of course he does not know, but he knows that the later generations of big ships, warships, the bottom is sharp.
These things can only be explored and made by craftsmen, and it is still very early, but the preliminary preparations can be done first.
Beisha City, although Zou Yu has not been to it yet, but that place is not too unfamiliar to him, after all, he has lived in the vicinity for a while.
According to the topography, Dalian in later generations should be not far from Beisha, and the location of Beisha City is very superior, between the two seas, and the Bohai Sea in the north is a bay.
Now Beisha City is still very barren, and the people are mainly fishermen, fishing in the Bohai Sea every summer and autumn, and catching the sea in the Yellow Sea in winter and spring.
The sea water of the Bohai Sea is very shallow, it will freeze every winter, not suitable for fishing, but after the ice and snow melt, it is not only suitable for fishing, but also very suitable for navigation, because the Bohai Sea belongs to the inland sea, the waves are small, and the ocean current is not so urgent.
Land transportation, requires a lot of manpower, livestock, and a lot of consumption on the road, compared with sea transportation, it is completely two different things, there is a county town one hundred and eighty miles from Beisha City, called Shepherd City, which is one of the most suitable places to build a port.
Although the best choice is Dalian in the future, there are not so many ships to dock now, so it is the best choice to be close to the city.
One of the best things about Beisha is that it is close to the Bohai Sea, which is a large bay with a high concentration of brine, which is the most suitable place to build a salt farm.
Many people think that boiling salt in any seawater is fine, which is true, but it is also a place where the salt concentration of seawater is too low, I am afraid it is not enough for the wages of workers, let alone making money.
It must be the kind of place with high salt content before it can be used to make salt, that is, the brine that the people say is not heavy. Just the city of Beisha is such a place.
In the past, Beisha did not attract the attention of Goguryeo, because Goguryeo preferred to boil salt in nearby Pyongyang and other places, after all, the coastal areas are still quite selective.
