Chapter 402: Do Addition

The fertile land and many rivers in the western Liaoning corridor and the abundance of water resources have been verified by history, due to the snowmelt of the Yanshan Mountains, the reservoir will not dry up in the year of the great drought, because there is a drop, and the irrigation of farmland is relatively saving a lot of manpower and animal power.

With this fertile and beautiful land, Huang Han is ready to take in more landless Han people who are on the verge of death, and there are countless people like the Ming Dynasty in the last days.

Li Jiucheng's rebellion in Wuqiao led to chaos in most of the provinces in Shandong, and millions of displaced people appeared.

For this reason, Huang Han specially sent his brother-in-law Xiucai Gong Zheng Xiaoli to assist Liu Zaiqi and Huang Kezao to take charge of sheltering Shandong refugees, and the purpose of using Zheng Xiaoli was to let him use the identity of the fifth son of the Zheng family to negotiate with the magistrate.

Zheng Xiaozhang, the fourth elder of the Zheng family, got the official position of the chief bookkeeper of the ninth grade last year, and this year's Luanzhou garrison battalion has excellent performance, and it is not guaranteed that he can be promoted to the eighth grade, and the fifth Zheng Xiaoli is still just a clerk How to be willing, get the opportunity to show himself, of course, he will spare no effort.

The "Red Banner Army" made use of several ports along the coastline of Liaohai and Shandong to land and give relief to the people who had fled here.

While distributing relief, the propaganda team widely publicized the "Red Flag Army's" reclamation policy and its advantages, and the risks were ignored by everyone.

Refugees who are willing to go to sea can divide 50 acres of wheat fields, and men who can farm can drag their families and families on ships to Jinzhou and Qiantunwei, and they can get a monthly salary of six yuan of silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grains to become the guards.

People in this year know that good men are not soldiers, good iron is not nails, and it is clear that it has reached the moment of life and death, and most of the displaced people are still unwilling to go to Liaodong to serve as a guard army.

Huang Han did not expect all the people to follow the "Red Flag Army" and did their best to see the will of God, Liu Zaiqi's propaganda team carried out propaganda at the soup kitchen site every day, and those who were encouraged to cross the sea and go to Liaodong to make a living could immediately eat white-flour cooking cakes.

The propaganda content is very convincing, and it is the same as the conditions set out by the instigation of Ningyuan's military and civilian reclamation, that is, each person who was killed by Jiannu will receive a compensation of 30 taels of silver, and 5 buckets of wheat will be compensated for the destruction of one mu of tuntian.

Although everyone is afraid to go to Liaodong, when will the days of being trapped near the port and not daring to go back are the end? The "Red Banner Army" now has ships in the harbor and arranges for people to give porridge twice a day on the shore, and thousands of people only have two bowls of gruel a day to hang on to their lives.

Everyone understands that this is not a long-term solution, in case the "Red Banner Army" is gone, no one will give two free bowls of porridge, and it is not known how many people will starve to death here.

Many decided to take the risk and go home, and many more believed in the invincible "Red Banner Army", and they chose to take a gamble to plant their own 50 acres of fertile land.

No one had any objection to the conditions set by the "Red Banner Army," because for each household planting 50 acres of land, the male would be paid six dollars of silver and five buckets of miscellaneous grain every month, and the "Red Banner Army" would provide seeds and farm tools.

With the harvest, the "Red Banner Army" divided it in half, and that should also be done. If the yield of one acre of land is average, and one stone of wheat can be beaten, wouldn't every household be able to get twenty-five stones of wheat in the end?

Twenty-five stones of wheat are enough to feed fifteen people, after all, it is impossible for a peasant household to eat white flour cakes every day, wild vegetables and miscellaneous grains will be mixed together, and it is impossible for everyone in a family to be strong laborers, and the amount of food for women, children, and the elderly will be much smaller.

Moreover, the policy of the "Red Banner Army" is that one household is responsible for planting 50 acres of dry land, and it is impossible to have a big family of 15 people.

More and more Shandong people are shipping to Jinzhou and Ningyuan, and more people are fleeing by land to Beizhili.

The "Red Banner Army" system, which needed a large population development, did everything it could to accommodate war refugees, and the population of Kaiping Town and Funingwei increased by tens of thousands.

Coupled with the increase in the population of Ningyuan and Jinzhou, it has now passed the 150,000 mark, and as the war in Shandong continues, the news that they can survive the "Red Flag Army" will spread far and wide, and the refugees will pour in more and more, after all, Shandong has a population of several million.

Although there was a surplus of grain in the "Red Banner Army" system last year, at least 80,000 stone was consumed in the fierce battle in southern Liaoning.

That's because the Han people and Dongjiang Town, who were supplied with rescue, were simply not enough to eat, and all the grain seized from the capture of Jinzhou was sent to Dongjiang Town.

At present, a lot of food has been spent on opening facilities and porridge points to relieve the disaster victims, and the newly admitted tens of thousands of Ningyuan residents also have to supply them with food, so if a large number of refugees pour in, the grain stock of the "Red Banner Army" system may not last until the autumn harvest.

This year, the area for spring plowing has doubled, and 650,000 mu of wheat, 100,000 mu of potatoes and sweet potatoes, and 50,000 mu of maize have been sown in the western Liaoning Corridor and Jinzhou.

The "Red Banner Army" system of private land in Funingwei, Qiantunwei, Jinzhouwei, and Kaiping towns has more than 1.5 million mu of land, including 80,000 mu of paddy fields.

At the time of the autumn harvest, excluding the harvest of more than 300,000 mu of rice, sorghum, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and other miscellaneous grains, Huang Han, a big landowner, would not have received less than 600,000 stone of rice and wheat.

Because Huang Han gave 50 acres of fertile land to thousands of households, each family would give at least five buckets of silver and six coins of miscellaneous grains every month, and the return on investment was also amazing.

Seeing that the autumn situation would be very good, the problem was that there was a shortage of more than 100,000 stone of grain until the autumn harvest, so Huang Han was in a hurry, and hurriedly took merchant ships and warships to the Japanese country to trade, and by the way solved the imminent food problem.

Why don't you go to Jiangnan to buy grain? That is Huang Han thinks that the addition of the total amount of grain can be regarded as really saving the Han people, if the total amount of grain in the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, maybe the Shandong people will starve to death to death Henan people, is it of great significance?

Besides, if you go to the Wa Kingdom to buy grain, you will definitely not be unable to buy it, because if the food crisis cannot be solved through trade, Huang Han will definitely go ashore to rob it, and he will not get back more than 100,000 or 200,000 stone of grain.

In mid-April, smoke and dust rose on the official road from Ningyuan to Jinzhou, and a group of people and horses roared from east to west.

More than 100 cavalrymen were in bright armor and full of energy, and a young general in the leader was fat and strong, and there was a not too ugly knife mark on his nose.

Behind the young general, a forty-year-old general has a personable demeanor, and his well-maintained face is red and white, not at all like a border army, but much like a successful businessman.

These two are the famous Wu Sangui father and son.
