Chapter 278: Development
Disrupted the soldiers, commanded by three hundred personal guards, left Du He, looked at the town guard, Situ Changfeng and non-stop let the rest of the people take over the city defense.
It was nearly noon that time before Situ Changfeng returned to the Governor's Mansion and summoned all the officials.
"See the Governor!"
There were quite a few people this time, dozens of officials, big and small, but many of them had flickering eyes and were obviously in a nervous mood.
"This official does not care what you have done in the past, but from now on, the officials of the two states must not be corrupt and pervert the law, and must do their best to complete the tasks assigned by their officials.
If you think you are incapable, or if you don't want to do things with this official, you can leave, and you won't be held accountable for what happened before. Situ Changfeng said indifferently.
Of course, Situ Changfeng knew that these people would not choose immediately, and he did not force it, so he began to assign tasks.
"All county seats, count subordinate household registrations, land, and inform all the people that in the land of the two states, all the people will be resettled and redivided.
The people of the two states are exempt from tax this year, and the poor people must provide food and materials. Situ Changfeng took out the notice he had written and asked the guards to hand it over.
"Subordinates obey!"
"Count the mineral deposits in each county, and then the official will make a unified arrangement to recruit the people of the two states to work, three meals a day, three catties of rice, and no one shall deduct it." Situ Changfeng continued to say solemnly.
"In addition, this official is appointed by His Majesty to recruit elite soldiers, and the notice will be sent together!"
"My subordinates understand!" The people below continued to shout commands.
"That's it! Let's go down and get busy, everyone must not slack off! ”
Situ Changfeng gave an order and immediately started to get busy, and he himself led people to start checking the information and inspecting the environment.
As for the officials of the two states, he didn't take it to heart, first, most of them are Jiangnan families with interests, so they shouldn't deliberately hold back; The other part, even if it is not a heart, must not mess around if you want to, after all, the military power is in your own hands.
In the past few days, the orders of the various governors have been constantly propagated to the people, causing great repercussions among the poor people.
At the same time, the people arranged by Situ Changfeng also found a group of landlord bullies, who happened to kill chickens and monkeys, and according to the crime, they were sentenced to raid their homes.
The people, who were originally numb and had little hope, were aroused by their passion, and began to move and work according to the orders of the government. Anyway, life can't be worse, the most important thing is that the government has three meals a day, which can be seen.
There are more than 15,000 registered people in the four counties of Yuezhou, nearly 200,000 people, Situ Changfeng intends to completely unify the resettlement, and the four county towns under him will be used in front of the four towns.
A county town of 200,000 people is considered small, but if you think about the place located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, where there are floods every year, you can understand that it is either a mountainous area or a muddy place.
Moreover, the only place with a lot of natural output, Dongting Lake, has many water bandits, which further restricts the people nearby.
In view of these reasons, Situ Changfeng could only concentrate the population, after all, his goal was to develop the two states, and he naturally needed to find a sustainable development path.
For Li Shimin to arrange for him to develop the two states, he actually didn't like it too much, and it was more kind to fight. However, it is still very good to think of accompanying the two wives safely, so I did not refuse, not to mention that there are still water bandits waiting to be exterminated.
Concentrating the people is only the first step, and half a month later, the food and materials that Situ Changfeng needs were delivered one after another.
The arrival of a large amount of food made the relocated people feel much more stable, and the arrival of materials, including a batch of ordnance, replaced the equipment of the soldiers.
In the past half a month, the original soldiers in Yuezhou have been reduced to 6,000, while the newly recruited 5,000 elites, and the other 5,000 eliminated soldiers have been assigned to various places to maintain law and order.
After carefully inspecting Yuezhou, Situ Changfeng believes that if he wants to develop rapidly, he can only rely on the mountains and the water. Leaning on Dongting Lake, of course, you have to make good use of it.
After field research, Situ Changfeng decided to implement intercropping, although there are many bandits in the lake, there are still many fishermen.
Gathered to start making fishing nets, boats, others opened up another river, the new river channel is to divert the water of Dongting Lake, not only can irrigate farmland, share the flood, the most important thing is breeding, fish farming, duck farming is naturally the first choice.
A small stream of water is carved out of the river, and ponds are dug apart, surrounded by the best farms.
Using the fertile silt that was washed down and piled up, the lotus root was planted, and an interplanting base came out.
In the past two months, the weather has not become cold, and more than 200,000 soldiers and civilians in Yuezhou have opened up 20,000 acres of breeding bases along Dongting Lake, as well as 10,000 acres of farmland.
The weather is getting colder, and the woolen clothes brought from the north are distributed to the people, so that the people are full of expectations for life, and they are also very supportive of the orders of the Governor's Mansion, and they are full of passion for their work, and they have more smiles on their faces, and they are not as confused and numb as before.
The cold winter is coming, so we can only continue to dig dry fields and ponds, and wait for the drainage in the line after the beginning of spring.
The young men began to pounce on the fish, and after they were caught, they were all sorted into different fish ponds, and the rest of the women and children opened up the barren mountains and dug up all the grass on the mountains.
Not only can it be burned, but it can also clean up the ground, and as for what to do with it, our Governor naturally has his opinion.
Because of the concentration of the people, the people now live more in various gathering points, relatively speaking, the defense is much simpler, after all, it is not too far from the city.
All the houses in the new settlement are currently cut down and built temporarily, and the new houses are built from green bricks that are being fired, but the brick kiln has just been built, and the first batch is being fired, and it will take time to completely rebuild it.
Li Shimin said that the strong support has indeed been done, 10,000 new immigrants, nearly 40,000 people have arrived in Yuezhou, and there are more than 10 children of the family who came at the same time, but most of them are side branches, compared to Situ Changfeng I don't care, after all, there is a real shortage of manpower at present, especially people who are literate and literate, although the four families in Jiangdong provide some, but it is far from enough.
However, the urgent need has finally been solved, at least it is barely enough to manage the people.
Yuezhou is busy, Langzhou will naturally not be idle, according to Situ Changfeng's plan is also going on, but the population of Langzhou is only 120,000, and the scale is not so large.
Ma Zhan was arranged to Langzhou, and in the name of Sima of the Governor's Mansion, he and Liu Renyuan worked together to reorganize the soldiers and horses, recruit and train.
The former county guard of the Wang family, Situ Changfeng was too lazy to bother, so he was directly transferred to Yuezhou, and at the same time promoted Di Zhixun to be the county guard.
With the strong support of Zhu, Zhang, Gu, and Lu, the development of the two states is very stable, but Situ Changfeng is still a little uneasy in his heart, and the water bandits in the lake are always there, which is a trouble.
