Chapter 195 was named Qingdao Village
Accompanied by Dong Chuan and Wang Qiwa, Qin Bai inspected this new village that was beginning to take shape.
It should be said that from the perspective of people of this era, the location of this village is quite good. It is built on the sunny side of the mountainside, separated from the sea, and there is a small stream on the side, which can also be drilled wells, so it is very convenient to get water. The only downside is that it's remote and there aren't many roads at all. However, it is not far from the official road, and it is not far from the Fushan Station and the other guards around it, so it is not too much trouble to really build that kind of simple dirt road.
However, Qin Bai's thoughts were different, he had his own requirements: "It can't be done here, you can only temporarily settle the people who have migrated." The stockade should have been built there, on the edge of the estuary. To explore there, there should be inland rivers and sea boat docks. Size...... For the time being, it is based on the standard of 10,000 households. You can build slowly, but you need to plan first. ”
"Huh?" Dong Chuan and Wang Qiwa were both taken aback. Even Wu Lisong and Thorn Mao, who followed, were shocked. Wu Lisong finally couldn't bear it anymore, "Big cabinet, the smaller Fucheng is 10,000 households, and the county seat is only a few thousand?" If you build a city like this, what will the government think? ”
"This is the land of the guard, right? It's not the turn of the local government yet. Qin Bai smiled, "Besides, I didn't think about rebelling. In the future, the imperial court will send officials to levy and collect levies, levy and collect taxes, can you? Surely I can't build a city here so that the brothers can have a place to live, and that would be a sin of beheading? ”
"That's what I said. But how much money are you going to spend? Tens of thousands of taels? Or hundreds of thousands? Wu Lisong questioned.
"Can't manage a hundred years for that long, can't you manage ten or eight years?" Qin Bai said, "In the future, this will be our home for Yongsheng." It's not like Jingjiazhuang, where they fight with each other. And this is our last way out, at least we can protect ourselves. It's not a big deal to spend hundreds of thousands of taels, and I think it's cheap. This is our root from now on! ”
In fact, Qin Bai didn't think about it for so long at all. All he asked was to get close to the dock and prepare some boats. If the mountains and rivers are exhausted, you can escape from the sea.
Therefore, it costs tens of thousands of taels to have a prototype. As for the subsequent construction? If it goes well, then go ahead, and even build a new match factory, which will be shipped by sea to the Gangnam area and sold overseas; If it doesn't go well, at least it can survive. Relying on coastal fishing, as well as planting pastures, and carrying out intensive aquaculture, there is no problem in rehousing these people who are brave and victorious.
Anyway, after their brothers go to the capital once and Jiangnan again, let's talk about it! It takes a year to be away, and Yongsheng has completely lost his grip, who knows what will happen during this time?
However, others still had doubts, so Dong Chuan asked: "Second Brother Bai, that kind of city wall is overstepping the control and will cause right and wrong, don't you be negligent?" ”
Cities in the feudal period could not be built casually, and the court had very strict regulations on the scope and height of the city walls. If the construction exceeds the specifications, to put it mildly, it is really the sin of killing the head.
However, such technical problems, as long as you pay attention to the details, it is easy to circumvent. Qin Bai replied directly: "The core area will be built on the scale of a town, and the square area will be built outside the town, just like Jingjiazhuang." If it is really built, it will be possible to build an outer city wall in the future. Also, when choosing a name, be low-key, there is no need to use 'city', you can use 'village', 'town', and 'village'. ”
"Then I beg Second Brother Bai to give him a name."
"Hehe, let's go to Qingdao!" Qin Bai was too lazy to choose a fancy name, so he simply took it and used the name of the city in later generations!
"Well, good name. Then it's called Qingdao Village. ”
After several people discussed, a new plan was made. The original stockade was changed into a peripheral fortress, which served as a reception and sentry. After all, today's threats basically come from the land direction, and there is such a stockade on the periphery, which can at least play an early warning role.
The newly designated site will be the construction of Qingdao Village, first of all, roads and city walls, and the surrounding pasture plantations will be reclaimed to start intensive farming. In any case, we must first solve the livelihood problem here. It is not possible to use the long-term subsidy of the income of the match factory all the time. At the very least, the aquaculture industry needs to make ends meet, so that people's hearts will be stable. As for building materials and other consumer goods, they continue to use silver to procure from outside countries.
However, suddenly there were so many more people, especially the more than 200 people brought by Wang Fei, and the materials were not enough, which involved a distribution problem.
One thing to say, Yongsheng's finances are still relatively chaotic. Especially in terms of distribution, there are those who get paid, those who eat big pots of rice, and those who just send it down and let a group of them distribute it themselves. This is mainly due to the fact that there are too many refugees who have no other needs for the time being, just to have food and clothing. But such things will never last long, people always have desires.
In addition, Yongsheng here is also a bit of a disaster relief mentality. Only food and clothing are guaranteed. When you have money, you will pay a little, and when you don't have money, you will work for nothing. Except for the match factory and the guards, who have a fixed salary, everyone else depends on luck, and there is really no stability.
After thinking about it, Qin Bai ordered: "Each household will issue a certain amount of bills every month, and through the bills, you can buy basic living materials at a low price." Like grain, cloth, salt, spices, and so on. In addition, the workman must be paid, it doesn't matter how high or low it is, but it must be paid. In addition to keeping the money for the purchase of bills at parity, let each household have money in their hands. The salary should also be pulled out of the grade, which can be negotiated slowly later. In this way, we can be sure of our hearts. And be able to stock up on enough supplies. Remember, this should be done together with the registration of household registration information! Don't make trouble for a long time, we don't even know how many belongings we have! ”
Everyone nodded in agreement. This is also what it should mean, that is, a rich man in the countryside, he will also take stock of these contents.
As for that bill? Others didn't think much of it either. They also believe that this is a temporary move, and in order to overcome the immediate difficulties for a while, it may soon be canceled.
Including Qin Bai at this time, he also thought that the bill was a temporary move. It is nothing more than the memories left over from that period, the lack of living materials, and the issuance of food stamps, industrial coupons, and so on. Since the materials are temporarily tight, we might as well learn from them.
However, no one expected that this was just a crooked hit!
