Chapter Thirty-Nine: Closing the Door and Locking the Door
The matter of immigration needs to be solved city by city, there are thirty-seven counties in Nanyang, if you count the Zhuangzi dotted around, there are countless more, even if the Luoyang plague has bought Ye Zhao more than two months, Ye Zhao only moved the population east of Wancheng, Wancheng is heavily guarded, although he is afraid of Ye Zhao's fierceness, he does not dare to come out to make trouble, but he will not flee from Ye Zhao like other cities.
And Ye Zhao was not ready to start a war in Nanyang, his migration method was gentler than Dong Zhuo's, and because of this, he was destined to not be as fast as Dong Zhuo.
However, the soldiers and horses of Xu Rong and others were already in place, and began to move the people west of Wancheng under Ye Zhao's order, so that the speed of migration was accelerated a lot, and Xi Zhicai also brought Xiahou Lan over to be responsible for scheduling, so that Ye Zhao completely freed his hands, and therefore, when Yuan Shu heard the news and rushed back with the soldiers and horses, he was attacked by Ye Zhao head-on in Duyang, and the remaining troops were almost annihilated by Ye Zhao, and fled to Runan in embarrassment, preparing to regroup and start the drum, and then clean up Ye Zhao, just waiting for him to regroup, When he led the army back again, Ye Zhao was afraid that he had already returned to Hanzhong.
This migration, which lasted from the beginning of July to the end of October, was initially completed, and the rest were some people who spontaneously wanted to come to Hanzhong to develop, or saw that most people moved to Hanzhong and followed the general mentality one after another.
When Ye Zhao arrived in Hanzhong, it was already mid-November, just in time for the first heavy snow of the year in Hanzhong.
"According to the statistics of various places, so far, the people who have moved into Hanzhong from Nanyang are about 197,000 households, with a total population of more than 630,000 people, according to the plan of the lord, these people are all arranged in the newly built Zhuangzi, 5,000 acres of a village, 500 households per village, each household is divided into 10 acres, in the past two years according to the naturalization of the lord, Hanzhong will add 300 villages, which can be placed 150,000 households, and within three years according to the lord's method of cultivating the fields, 30% of the harvest will be handed over every year, and after three years, these new houses will be owned by these people, and after three years, The tax will be reduced to 20%, and the people are quite supportive of this order, and the remaining 47,000 households will be accepted by the original cities of Hanzhong, and will be temporarily relieved by the government, and then resettled after the spring of the next year. ”
Nanzheng, Taishou Fuzhong, full of favors and did not read the scrolls, reported to Ye Zhao some basic situations in Hanzhong today: "In addition, the original household registration in Hanzhong is 101,326 households, with a population of 372,135, and in the past two years, a total of 14,107 households and 43,633 people, a total of 415,768 people have been accepted from Hanoi, and the people of Nanyang have been accepted from the people of Nanyang who have migrated this time, and the population of the seven counties in Hanzhong has exceeded one million. In addition, 300 new villages will be resettled, and 1.5 million mu of land will be required, plus the new fields reclaimed in the previous two years, which can barely be resettled, but the remaining 47,000 households will be difficult to resettle in the coming year. ”
Ye Zhao looked at Xi Zhicai and said with a smile: "I was fortunate to have Berning to vote back then, otherwise such a talent would be missed!" ”
"It's also the credit of the craftsmen led by the lord, if it weren't for the manure and cement they made, the food and shelter alone would be enough to crack my head." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
Manure, cement, before Ye Zhao came out, he had already convened the masons and old farmers, to now, it has been more than ten years, manure has been tested, has been popularized in Hanzhong, can greatly increase the grain output, as for cement, needless to say, two years, can build 300 new villages, thanks to the work of cement.
"What Mr. Xi said is true." Full pet bowed and said: "Needless to say, the cement is also quite wonderful, can save ten times the time and cost, now the dangers have begun to be reinforced with cement, the minister is ready to convene craftsmen next year, paving roads between the cities and villages in Hanzhong, if it can be done, only I am a county in Hanzhong, can be rivaled by a state!" ”
In the end, there was a flash of excitement in the eyes of the full pet, that is the light that can be used to show what he has learned in his life and find the direction, although Hanzhong is not big, but there are things that are not available elsewhere, as for what it is, the full pet can't say.
"We need a lot of people, and we can give priority to hiring those 47,000 immigrants." Ye Zhao said with a smile, in fact, he wanted to put more people into the construction this time, except for the plain in the middle, the rest of Hanzhong is a mountain range, the terrain here is somewhat similar to Shuzhong, they are all basins, but the Hanzhong Plain is not as extensive as the Shuzhong Plain.
The emergence of manure, although the optimal ratio has not yet been studied, is enough to solve the problem of eating, that is to say, after applying manure, the fields in Hanzhong can fully support this million people and there is a surplus, and there is not so many people to cultivate.
When grain production comes up, the next step is to free up more labor to invest in other industries, such as handicrafts, reading, construction, and even consider grazing, not the grassland to develop animal husbandry.
In short, in this era of poor but abundant materials, as long as you have ideas, you don't have to limit your eyes to the fields if you want to get rich.
It is good for the people to take food as the sky, but under the premise of sufficient food security, it is natural to pursue the development of other aspects, before the Han Dynasty or pushed forward to the pre-Qin, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States and even longer, has not been able to develop the industry outside of agriculture, the most important point is the restriction of food, now that the problem of food has been solved, it is natural to invest in other aspects.
It's just that it's too early to say this, and we need next year's grain production to come up, and after we have enough factual basis, it will be more convincing to promote other industries at that time.
Today's Hanzhong may not be the most correct choice for Ye Zhao, but it is undoubtedly the best choice, the environment here is relatively closed, surrounded by mountains, information is not circulated, although it is not as difficult as Shu Dao, but it is not much worse, but such a closed environment, under the premise of having enough technical concepts, is undoubtedly a good place for the development of stuffy heads.
In addition, because of the two major purges of the family and the royal family before, the Han sergeant clan was almost extinct, and now the biggest force in Hanzhong is Ye Zhao, and it is also the only force.
In the next few years, the Central Plains and Guanzhong were in constant turmoil, and no one could take care of Hanzhong, which also provided Ye Zhao with a relatively stable external environment.
"First issue an order, all checkpoints will be under martial law from today, only allowed to enter, without a warrant issued by the General's Mansion, no one is allowed to leave Hanzhong, violators can be cut first and then played." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, in the next period of time, he will close the country, seek development first, and wait for Hanzhong to develop almost completely, and then open Hanzhong to foreign trade or form alliances.
During this closed period, he tried his best to avoid the news of Hanzhong being leaked out, and the natural barrier of Hanzhong also gave Ye Zhao this opportunity.
"This matter is the sole responsibility of Ji Ling, and the guards at all checkpoints need to report it to General Wei's Mansion." Ye Zhao looked at Ji Lingdao.
"Whoa!" Ji Ling stepped forward and agreed.
"Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Ding Li, Fang Yue!" Ye Zhao looked at the rest of the generals and said.
"The last general!"
"Each of the four of you leads 10,000 soldiers and horses, responsible for daily training, every six months in the army of the four armies compete skills, the winner is rewarded, the loser is fined for three months, and each army selects 200 strong men to enter the general's palace, which will be personally trained by the officer." Ye Zhao looked at everyone.
"The lord can rest assured, and the end will definitely live up to the trust of the lord." The four of them led in unison.
"Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and Hua Xiong are temporarily the generals of Benhou's personal guard." Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong, and said with a smile without waiting for him to speak: "Don't worry, bet on Benhou to remember, but General Wei's Mansion does not raise idlers, and if you want to eat well, starting tomorrow, train me well." ”
When Hua Xiong heard this, he could only sigh, which was regarded as a promise.
"Qiu Chi!" Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi, who had not been seen for a long time, and said with a smile: "You are proficient in business and negotiation, I want to build a ranch in the western part of Hanzhong, I need a large number of cattle and horses, in the next few years, find a way to pull more, the best to cultivate cattle, and the bison can also be, in short, the more the merrier." ”
"Whoa!" Qiu Chi bowed down and agreed, this was his strength, when Ye Zhao was in Macheng, most of the trade with the Saiwaihu people was handled by Qiu Chi.
"As for Huang Shao's ......" Ye Zhao looked at Huang Shao and said with a smile: "This time into Hanzhong, bring a large number of craftsmen, the ability of craftsmen, you must have seen it, I am ready to follow the example of Shaofu in Hanzhong and set up another official office, it will be called the Shengong Battalion, treat it with military merits, gather the world's skilled craftsmen to study new things, and at the same time will recruit some old farmers to come in and continue to study manure, and this camp will be presided over by you." ”
Huang Shao was born in the last few years, although before joining the Taiping Sect, he had read some books, and he was considered a poor family, but before that, he had farmed, carpentered, and worked as a mason, and he was no stranger to these things.
"Man Favor continues to serve as the Taishou of Hanzhong, presiding over government affairs, and the affairs of Hanzhong Academy ......" Ye Zhao looked at Man Favor and said, "How are you preparing?" ”
The Hanzhong Bookstore had been rebuilt, and on this basis, Ye Zhao planned to establish a academy first, and then gradually popularize the culture.
"The academy has been built, but there is no one to be a gentleman." Full Pet smiled bitterly.
Architecture is easy to say, but the people who teach are the key.
"The academy will be managed by the military advisor for the time being." Ye Zhao looked at everyone, now only he and Xi Zhicai are idlers, and there are many things to preside over, so the affairs of this academy can only be handed over to Xi Zhicai, and he will find a better candidate in the future.
"As for the students, for the time being, the children of generals and officials will be sent to the academy to study, and the county officials can also send their children." Ye Zhao looked at Man Pet and said with a smile, this is also a means to win people's hearts, now this group of people under his command, as long as they do not die in the future, they are the backbone of Ye Zhao's subordinates, so they naturally have to have a background, and this Hanzhong Academy can be regarded as a passing stone.
