On the day when the imperial decree was issued, Deng Hui, Lan Qiaozheng, Liu Jingting and others had already come to Dengzhou, and they came with the team transporting grain.

Su Tiancheng must talk to everyone and say his thoughts so that everyone can operate in the future, and next, he must also consider the problem of relocation, and he must let some people move to Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that the basic problem can be solved. The most critical thing here is two problems, the first is the problem of land, in this era, land is fundamental, whether it is the gentry and wealthy households, or ordinary people, what is important is land, the land in Dengzhou and Laizhou is very good, but unfortunately after being looted by the Houjin Tartars, no one dares to cultivate the land here. The second is the construction of castles, which requires a large amount of silver to be invested in the rebuilding of many destroyed castles.

The two problems are closely related, and if they are properly operated, the problems of Dengzhou and Laizhou will soon be solved.

The newly appointed Deng Hui and others came to the ruined capital city of Dengzhou.

Su Tiancheng is waiting here.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Tiancheng didn't hesitate, and pointed to Dengzhou Mansion and spoke.

"The situation here, you have all seen, the situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou, you also know the way, I don't want to say anything superfluous, how to revitalize Dengzhou and Laizhou, so that the people here can live a good life, it is your task, I give you time, only one year, within a year, you must build this ruin, there is no extra time, next, I have more arrangements."

"Deng Hui, Lan Qiaozheng, your responsibility is extraordinary, Dengzhou and Laizhou will be handed over to you."

"Liu Jingting, you know the suffering of the common people. It should also be clear what to do. ”

"Liu Chongsan, you are a local, you know the situation here, we have talked many times, what should be done, I don't emphasize too much."

"I want to build Dengzhou and Laizhou. It's not something you just talk about, you have a lot of specific things, you need to do it in a down-to-earth and down-to-earth manner, you need to endure hardships, if you are on top, you don't understand the people's feelings, you can't grasp the real situation, Dengzhou and Laizhou have no hope. ”

After the invasion of the Golden Tartars, a large number of wealthy gentry were killed. The population has been greatly reduced, and this has become a place where the people of my Ming Dynasty are afraid, at such a critical moment, when you come here, you must stand up, and it is necessary to endure hardships, and I also know it, but you have endured hardships. The emperor and the court are also clear. ”

"At present, the most important thing is two things, the first is about the distribution of arable land. The second is the issue of the construction of the city. ”

"On the question of arable land, my suggestion is to re-measure the land in two months, redistribute it, and bring out the title deeds whenever someone comes up. The government buys all of them, and then distributes them to the people, and asks the people to plant farmland, which is a huge project, and it is also a big thing that you have to face. The specific requirement is to use one and a half months to measure the cultivated land, register and make a register one by one, compare it with the base book of the household department, determine the area of cultivated land, and then use half a month to redistribute the land to the government at all levels. ”

"Dengzhou and Laizhou, it is necessary to relocate a large number of people, I will handle this matter, all the population who have migrated here, the government must also be responsible for registering, figuring out the population, and dividing the cultivated land according to the number of population."

"The matter of rebuilding the city, focusing on three places, the first is the capital city of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the second is the city of Penglai, the specific method adopted, you may wish to recruit the common people to build, the government will take out the silver taels, the people who work can get income, they can alleviate the impact of the disaster, at least they can be self-sufficient, do not need too much relief from the government."

"You must remember that complete relief is of little effect, the key is to ask the people to move, this is the difference between giving people to fish and giving people to fish, the government always gives relief to the people, can not solve the fundamental problem, to give the people the opportunity, let them work, earn their own money to live, let them farm, be able to harvest food, let them see the hope of life, this is your most critical task."

"The location of Dengzhou and Laizhou is very important, this will become the most important coastal defense line of my Ming Dynasty, in the future, we will also establish a strong sailor here, we will build this place as the most important maritime trade base, and make this one of the richest places in my Ming Dynasty."

After the task was arranged, Su Tiancheng decided to stay here for a month, the preliminary matters required a lot of silver and food, it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, without strong support from the outside world, Dengzhou and Laizhou themselves could not start.

Officials from the Ministry of Household and Ministry of Industry soon came to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

The imperial court decided to allocate two million taels of silver to relieve Dengzhou and Laizhou, this amount of silver is definitely not enough, but it is also the limit that the imperial court can take out, Su Tiancheng understands very well, this is probably the result of Sun Chengzong's hard work, Sun Chengzong is about to give office, and the opinions and suggestions put forward will definitely be respected by the emperor.

The order of Dengzhou and Laizhou mainly depends on the two thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers brought by Su Tiancheng to maintain, but this situation cannot last too long, Deng Hui and Lan Qiaozheng After taking office, the first thing to do is to build the shelf of the government office, the official allocation is not a big problem, the key is the equipment of officials and officials, without these people, it is still difficult to do everything well.

Thinking about recruiting in Dengzhou and Laizhou, it was very difficult, when Dolgon plundered Dengzhou and Laizhou, he plundered most of the young and strong, those who were unwilling to give in, or the gentry and wealthy families, were all killed, so at this time, they could only be transferred from the Jiangning battalion soldiers, and these transferred personnel immediately changed their identities and became officials of Dengzhou and Laizhou Mansion.

First of all, the measurement of cultivated land was carried out, and the progress of this matter was very smooth.

Most of the gentry and wealthy families were killed, the whole family was almost gone, and the title deeds were burned in the fire, so the measurement of cultivated land was carried out very smoothly, but the territory of Dengzhou and Laizhou was very large, although the work was going smoothly, but it was not possible to complete it in a while.

Su Tiancheng participated in a day's measurement of cultivated land, doing this, it was very hard, fortunately, Dengzhou and Laizhou belong to the plains, there are few mountains, the measurement of land did not encounter too many obstacles, Jiangning battalion soldiers set off with dry food before dawn, measured along the way, and the counties also transferred manpower to participate in it, the Jiangning battalion soldiers who measured the land all brought tents and measured where they were, after dark, they couldn't do anything, so they set up camp there.

Liu Chongsan and Liu Jingting were in charge of land surveying in Dengzhou and Laizhou, respectively.

In the process, Su Tiancheng spoke out his outlook for the future of Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In fact, building on a ruin, as long as the silver is sufficient, it is better to do things, and the relevant systems can be re-clarified, such as the fundamental land policy, according to the number of the population, re-divided, even if someone takes out the land deed, the government can also buy it at a very low price, after all, the cultivated land here, no one wants to cultivate, the real rich people, lucky to save their lives, are thinking of moving out of this place, unwilling to continue to stay here.

This is Su Tiancheng's opportunity, he must build Dengzhou and Laizhou into a relatively fair place, in the future he will also build a large-scale military port in Penglai City, and build a large-scale commercial port in Weihai and Laizhou.

Stabilize Dengzhou and Laizhou, the first step is to establish the first large-scale commercial port in Weihai, the sea ban of the Ming Dynasty is in name only, because of the sea ban, the Zheng family has obtained countless benefits, rich and rival the country, as long as Su Tiancheng established a large commercial port in Weihai, allowing the implementation of shipping and maritime trade in Weihai port, it is conceivable that countless cargo ships will flock here, and Weihai will immediately become one of the most prosperous ports.

After taking this step, the next thing will be much smoother, the construction of the largest military port in the Ming Dynasty in Penglai City, and the construction of another commercial port in Laizhou, the silver two will have sufficient guarantees.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts were only told to Deng Hui.

Deng Hui is considered to be Su Tiancheng's descendant, if it weren't for Su Tiancheng, Deng Hui would not have the status he has today, let alone think that he could continue to participate in the imperial examination and become a genuine Jinshi, Deng Hui has a good mind and a certain foresight, after learning about Su Tiancheng's arrangements, his eyes burst out with light.

But to do all this well, the initial investment is huge, and the two million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court cannot do so many things well, but fortunately, Dengzhou and Laizhou are full of devastation, and the space for operation is huge.

At the beginning of September, 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning Battalion stationed in Ningyuan arrived in Dengzhou.

The 10,000 soldiers of the Jiangning battalion will be stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the original guard posts in Dengzhou and Laizhou will all be abolished and no longer set up, and the Jiangning battalion will formally take over the defense of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the Jiangning battalion will be in charge of the command, and Luo Chang, the commander of the Jiangning battalion, and Ma Huabiao, the commander and envoy of the left command, will be transferred to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

This adjustment shook the whole of Shandong, and everyone knew the courage of the Jiangning battalion, and now the Jiangning battalion has been stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, so it can be said that safety has been guaranteed.

However, such a shock is limited to officials, and ordinary people are still not clear.

Su Tiancheng has long been arranging the relocation of the population, and he has some selfish intentions in this regard, at least to build Dengzhou and Laizhou into his own territory, in case of accidents in the future. (To be continued......)
