A flock of sparrows chirped through the woods and flew to the row of tall buildings, since this reinforced concrete building replaced the wooden huts, the sparrows had no nest under the warm eaves, but fortunately they were smart and adapted very quickly, and now they have learned to nest in the grass under the highest insulation layer of the cement building, and the wind does not blow the rain or get wet.

They stopped on the windowsill on the sixth floor, tilted their heads sideways and looked in, curiously at the people who were in a meeting.

There were clearly ten people sitting inside, but it was extremely quiet at this time, and most people's eyes were focused on one of them, who was banging on the table thoughtfully.

For Mr. Yu, it was a difficult choice.

He is not a ruthless person, but it is for the individual, if it is for a whole, he is still very tolerant. However, in the past few years, his temperament has gradually undergone some changes, whether it is killing the Jianju prisoners of the Jue Luo clan in the north, or carving out a no-man's land with a radius of fifty miles in Luzon City in the south. All this proves that he has become more and more ruthless.

But it was against the enemy, and today it was against the people whom he had always wanted to help, awaken, and guide.

"Mr. Zhang, how much is our stockpile?" After a long time, Yu Guozhen asked.

"There are 1.5 million tons of grain in stock." Zhang Chi opened his mouth to this kind of data: "In addition, the summer harvest will be in May, and our grain storage may exceed 2.5 million tons at that time, and the pressure on warehouse storage is already extremely great. ”

This number is not said, and everyone does not pay attention, but as soon as it is said. Everyone was inhaling the cold air.

2.5 million tons, that is, 2.5 billion catties, calculated that one person eats 250 catties of grain a year, is enough for tens of millions of people to eat a year's rations!

"Good, good!" Yu Guozhen was also a little surprised: "Can the summer grain be harvested? ”

"First, the summer grain harvest is in sight, and the second is because our fishery has developed very rapidly in the past six months, after winning the salt field in Qiongzhou. The salt we use for marinating dried fish is fully guaranteed, and the output in this half year has reached 5,000 tons. Zhang Chi said.

Xinxiang has long attached great importance to the fishing industry. Because fishery fishing can make up for the human body's need for animal protein to some extent, saving the consumption of plant food. The South China Sea is also an excellent fishing ground, and there is almost no pollution in this era. There is also no problem of overfishing, and for the entire sea, thousands of tons of shrimp are netted a year, which is nothing at all. However, for Xinxiang's grain industry, the output of 5,000 tons in half a year is a remarkable figure, which is closely related to the fact that there are more than 1,000 large and small fishing boats under the jurisdiction of the Xinxiang Fishery Administration Bureau - although the Longmen Shipyard only builds large ships, the surrounding small shipyards are working day and night to build fishing boats to meet the needs of this aspect, and now they are in Qin'zhou, Xinxiang and other places. There are at least 30 boat mills, and many fishing boats are launched every month.

Even the shipyards in Guangzhou, Fuzhou and Fuzhou have also benefited from it.

In Xinxiang, fishermen build fishing boats, but they can go to the Fishery Administration Bureau to receive subsidies. Generally speaking, fishermen can receive a subsidy equivalent to about half of the purchase price of their vessels as long as they set up a regular fishing team and register with the Fisheries Bureau, and they can also obtain fishing protection from the Fisheries Bureau, so they do not have to worry about pirates at sea.

"Jiaming. You've been in Changhua for a year, so let's talk about it. Yu Guozhen said again.

Gu Jiaming got up and gave a military salute to everyone, then sat down, flipped his pamphlet to one side, and said loudly: "Before we went to Changhua County, Changhua County had 719 registered households and a population of 1,753 people, and after a month's inventory, we found that the actual population was 1,147 households and 4,116 people. The 500-member working group we sent was quite large, and one person was only responsible for indoctrination of eight people, whereas in the beginning we were prepared to indoctrinate thirty people by one person. ”

At this, everyone laughed softly.

"In response to this, we adjusted the original plan, accelerated the speed of immigration from Tamna, and sent some people who had not entered Xinxiang directly to Changhua, and after half a year, the population of Changhua has reached 5,449 households, 12,691 people, so that the ratio of the working group to the population that needs to be taught has reached 1:25, which is just within the limit of the working group, and by now, everyone has become accustomed to our Xinxiang requirements......

The so-called requirements of Xinxiang are the restrictions of Xinxiang on the formal possession of Xinxiang's household registration. Even peasants must have a worker's general sense of time and discipline, because agricultural production in Xinxiang is actually proceeding according to the mode of industrialization, and the peasants' production discipline is directly related to their income distribution.

The second is the requirement of practical learning, under the entire Xinxiang system, everyone must study, at least to get the corresponding certificate of completion, if you can't get the certificate, you must devote your spare time to endless compulsory learning. On the one hand, this is to train industrial workers with a certain degree of practical learning as much as possible, on the other hand, it is also to correct the bad habits of many Ming people, such as gambling and idleness, when their spare time is forced to accept learning, and these learning is closely related to personal practical interests, they do not have much time to gamble.

If you can do these two things, you can basically gain a foothold in Xinxiang, but to make a career, you need more effort. Hearing that the more than 10,000 people from Changhua and Tanluo had been able to accept Xinxiang's various demands in just over half a year and less than a year, everyone was surprised.

This is not surprising, the Chinese people are really the most reasonable, as long as they are sincerely good, even if they are harsh, they can accept it in the end. As for those who like to make trouble, there is no need for us at all, the officials have said that if we unite the majority and isolate a very small minority, there will naturally be people around them to educate them. ”

"Can't be taught?" Someone couldn't help but ask, but it was Mao Yuanyi.

"Huh." Gu Jiaming did not answer.

Mao Yuanyi doesn't need his answer, what he can't teach, that is, he is isolated from the Xinxiang system, such people, of course Xinxiang doesn't need it, if they have illegal behaviors, they will naturally have to serve a prison sentence, if not, they will be expelled.

"So, how many working groups like this can we organize?" Yu Guozhen asked.

This question is not something that Gu Jiaming can answer, everyone looks at each other, in fact, no one can answer it.

In fact, in order to form a working group, Yu Guozhen transferred elite soldiers and strong generals from all over the country, and it can be said that there is only one such working group in Xinxiang at most.

"That's how I think, prepare ten working groups, five thousand people." Yu Guozhen said slowly: "Be prepared to accept 100,000 refugees at the same time, and then form a working group every month." ”

Everyone took a breath, and then looked different!

Everyone in the Tiger Guard system was happy, Song Xiance was also proud, Mao Yuanyi was slightly embarrassed, and Zhang Chi was a little worried.

The meaning of Yu Guozhen's words is obvious, he is ready to accept Song Xiance's proposal!

"To some extent, we're already fueling the chaos for the world." Yu Guozhen said: "The thieves are in the south, and the king is in the north, all of them are in turmoil, and I asked Erzhu to do an investigation, largely because our new products have had a huge impact on the people." ”

This matter is no secret at the top of Xinxiang, since Fang Kongzhi mentioned the suicide of the widow in Shanghai, Yu Guozhen asked Gao Erzhu to do the relevant investigation, the situation is extremely not optimistic, in Jiangsu and Zhejiang where the handicraft industry is very developed, about thirty percent of the cottage craftsmen because of Xinxiang products and bankruptcy, the remaining seventy percent also affected their livelihoods.

"Now the situation is obvious, originally we hoped that the imperial court could stand on the side of progress, on the side of the future development direction of China, and fully support us. As a result, the court was controlled by a group of people who only cared about selfish interests, from the Son of Heaven to the ministers, the sages rejected, and the villains were in charge. The imperial court has already stood on the opposite side of China's advance, and since this is the case, we cannot think about it for the imperial court. ”

Yu Guozhen said in a very relaxed tone that was a great rebellion in the past, Zhang Chi had been mentally prepared for this passage, and he was surprised to find that when he heard Yu Guozhen say this, not only was he not angry or wanted to reprimand, on the contrary, he had a sense of relief.

In front of Xinxiang, he shouldn't have dragged a burden called Da Ming in the first place!

"When the summer grain is put away, one million stone of grain will be allocated to Jiangxi and Huguang to sell." Yu Guozhen's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said something that people would never expect.

"Lord!" Zhang Chi was a little anxious.

Song Xiance clapped his hands and applauded: "Good plan, good plan!" ”

Everyone looked at the two of them, and then at Yu Guozhen, who said solemnly: "What I say next is not allowed to be recorded." Since the imperial court issued a whip law, the people need to exchange the harvested grain for silver to pay, and I just want to suppress the price of grain, so that the peasants in the two granaries of Jiangxi and Huguang will go bankrupt, so that a large number of peasants have to flee - Erzhu, you must pay attention to guiding the people in these two places to flee to Xinxiang. ”

"Yes!" Gao Erzhu got up and said.

Yu Guozhen's deployment is not aimed at the Zheng family at all, but at the entire Ming Dynasty!

After everyone was stunned and admired, they couldn't help but think of this problem, obviously, in Yu Guozhen's eyes, Zheng Zhilong was not an opponent at all, even if he stirred up such a storm, but the Zheng family's own limited strength and short-sightedness determined that they would not be Yu Guozhen's real enemies.

The real enemy is still a foreign enemy, and in order to concentrate forces against a foreign enemy, we must first sweep away our worries. Even with Xinxiang's current strength, it is not enough and there is no need to play the trick of swallowing the snake and swallowing the elephant, swallowing the entire Ming Dynasty, but it is possible to accommodate as many people as possible, strengthen their own strength, and lay the foundation for further development in the future!

In Zheng Zhilong's view, he has crocheted a web of heaven and earth, but in Yu Guozhen's view, as long as he revives Daming's move, any net is meaningless to him.

"Prepare for a decisive battle with the Dutch at sea." Yu Guozhen said again: "As for the Tokugawa shogunate, provoke the separation of the powerful vassals, and when the Tokugawa shogunate sends troops, it will make it difficult for him to catch fire in his backyard, and I will hand over this matter to the shogan!"
