Almost overnight, the people gathered in the city were greatly reduced, and the decision made by Su Tiancheng was decisive and lethal, and the people who came to Dengzhou and Laizhou finally had land in their hands, if they were not able to farm, and were taken back by the government, it would be a big loss, and this time, the enthusiasm of the people to cultivate was unprecedentedly high, and there was no need for the government to urge, and every household was busy in the fields.

Many farmers, especially the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, knew the yield of sweet potatoes and maize, and competed to ask Niu Er and others for guidance, and they didn't know what the reason was for Lu Dao, as if Niu Er and others were to guide them, and the grain output in the fields would be higher.

Many officials were still a little worried, but as time went by, their worries did not exist, and the enthusiasm of the farmers for planting was very high, and the speed was also very fast.

The households that migrated to Dengzhou and Laizhou are roughly divided into four levels, the first layer is the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion, the conditions of these people are generally good, every household has silver and grain, according to the arrangement of the government, some live in the city, some live in the villages and towns, and most of the people who can enter the government are the families of the officers, and those who live in the county town are slightly better, but those who live in the villages and towns are not bad. The second layer is the family of the merchants, including a small number of gentry and wealthy households, this layer is more special, the conditions are the best, and the level is not the same, these people basically live in the city. Or inside the state and county seats. The third layer is the peasant households who have migrated from all over the country, most of them are familiar with the situation in Jiangningying, and their lives are quite passable, considering that when they come to Dengzhou and Laizhou, they can allocate land and earn silver. I didn't hesitate to follow along. The fourth layer is the Han people who fled back from Houjin, this part is the worst condition, and still needs relief from the government, but these people are also the most able to endure hardships, and after they are allocated land, their families in Beizhili or Shaanxi and Shanxi have slowly begun to migrate to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

Since it is divided into four levels, there must be a distinction between superior and inferior, and the most noble one. It is still the family of the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard, and the officers above the commander of the Jiangning battalion guard not only have military positions, but also civilian positions, which means that their family members and identities are also not ordinary, and the identities of the gentry and wealthy families are still different, and they have received everyone's respect. The government's attitude towards them is also good, followed by the families of the soldiers of the Jiangning battalion. It is also respected, and the worst are the Han people who fled back from Houjin, and many of them immediately shaved off their hair after returning, wore hats on their heads, and waited for their hair to grow slowly.

Such a situation. Su Tiancheng knows the Tao, but he can't stop it, people can't be completely equal, and the difference in status is always the kind of so-called equality of everyone. It's just shouted in the slogan, and it won't be possible to do it in hundreds of years.

The number of people who moved to Dengzhou and Laizhou is still increasing, and a large number of people from Jinan and Yanzhou are gathering towards Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the people of Qingzhou are much more stable, and they all know that Qingzhou Mansion is also under the jurisdiction of Su Tiancheng.

There are not many places that the governor of Shandong can manage, except for Jinan Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion, the rest is Dongchang Mansion, but Su Tiancheng is in charge of Dengzhou, Laizhou and Qingzhou, and it is also from the perspective of resisting the Liukou, the governor can only stare dryly, besides, Shandong is a strategic place, and it has also suffered a lot of wars, and the south is not comparable.

On February 16, Wang Dazhi finally came to Dengzhou with a large group of people.

A large number of boxes were carried into the Overseer's Mansion, and no one knew what was inside the boxes.

Su Tiancheng knew very well that 10 million taels of silver had come to Dengzhou, and he could rest assured that he could use his hands and feet this time.

It is impossible for Song Sijun to come up with so much silver, and there are some other borrowed silver, among which Zhu Xianxuan lent two million taels, Zhu Youxiang lent two million taels, Zhu Cunshu, King of Qin, Zhu Changhao, King of Rui, and Zhu Kanghuoji, King of Han, each lent one million taels of silver, and Song Sijun got three million taels of silver.

Needless to say, Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang didn't need to say, when the two learned that Su Tiancheng needed to borrow silver, they didn't hesitate at all, and they took out two million taels of silver very happily, as for Zhu Cunshu, the king of Qin, Zhu Changhao, the king of Rui, and Zhu Kanghuoji, the king of Han, they would not hesitate, they earned a lot of silver in the mutual market, and it can be said that they were very rich, and it was not very difficult to lend one million taels of silver.

Except for Zhu Xianxuan and Zhu Youxiang, the rest of the vassal kings are clear, lending Su Tiancheng silver, will definitely not suffer, when Su Tiancheng went to Shaanxi to serve as governor, asked them to borrow silver, and later not only returned the amount, they also found a shop in the mutual market, and the Mongolian tribe to do business, make a fortune, this time Su Tiancheng built Dengzhou and Laizhou, must need a lot of silver, these silver lent out, do not need to worry, it will definitely be able to get profits quickly.

The relationship between Zhu Xianxuan and Su Tiancheng is not ordinary, no matter from which point of view, they all need to help Su Tiancheng, as for Zhu Youxiang, who has a keen political vision, he must support Su Tiancheng.

When the money arrives, many things arranged by Su Tiancheng can be implemented, including the construction of the wharf, the construction of the shipyard, and so on.

Xiong Zijian first arrived at the Governor's Mansion.

Inside the wing, Su Tiancheng looked serious and spoke word by word.

"Xiong Zijian, when you were in the Jiangning camp, you have been in charge of logistics for a long time, and you know that the expenses of the Jiangning camp are huge, these years, in order to maintain the operation of the Jiangning camp, many people have spent a lot of effort, the mutual market between Anning Fort and Jingbian, to maintain the operation of the Jiangning camp, is barely okay, but the cost of maintaining the sailor, there is not much possibility, the Jiangning camp needs about three million taels of silver every year to be able to maintain, especially the expenditure on the development of firearms, which is quite huge, but the silver in this regard, We can't save it, and you know very well the hardships involved. ”

"This time, you are responsible for building Weihaiwei Wharf, I will give you three million taels of silver, you must build the wharf within half a year, there is only so much silver, no matter what you think, you must build a wharf."

Xiong Zijian's body trembled, he had been in charge of the expenses of the Jiangning camp for a long time, and he had seen a lot of silver, but Su Tiancheng took out so much silver in one go, in his thinking, to build a good wharf in Weihaiwei, it didn't need so much silver, at most it was more than one million taels of silver.

"My lord, the lower official thinks that if you don't need so much silver, at most one and a half million taels of silver, the lower official promises to build a good wharf, if you can't complete the task, please punish the lord."

Su Tiancheng shook his head lightly.

"I know your thoughts, your vision, can't just be limited to the wharf, I have drawn out a radius of ten miles, do you need such a big wharf, it must not be needed, I have said last time, supporting facilities are also necessary, including military camps, private houses, shops, etc., these are all that need to be built."

Xiong Zijian looked at Su Tiancheng, a little confused, what are these facilities doing by themselves, can it be said that the government has paid for it, and it still has to help the people build houses and shops.

Looking at Xiong Zijian's expression, Su Tiancheng was a little annoyed, he didn't understand such a simple way to make money, he had been in charge of logistics for so many years.

"Xiong Zijian, I know your doubts, the construction of these houses, shops, including warehouses, etc., is mainly used to make money, these silver are all I tried to borrow, when the time comes, it needs to be returned to others, after the construction of Weihaiwei's wharf, where the land must be precious, the built houses, shops, warehouses, etc., are all valuable, if I expect it to be good, just sell these houses and shops, basically you can recover three million taels of silver, such silver, for what is not profitable."

"This, Xia Guan really didn't expect it, my lord is wise."

"Wise fart, if it weren't for the lack of silver, you think I would be willing to do this, if the court can invest all the silver, I wish the people would make money, but now there is no way."

Sun Chuanting entered the wing, and Su Tiancheng's attitude was different.

"Sun Chuanting, I will give you four million taels of silver, these silver, you have to do three things, the first is to build a shipyard, the second is to build a hundred large warships, and the third is to train an elite team of sailors, if the silver is not enough, you can bring it up, and the Governor's Mansion will find a way, but there is one thing you have to remember, these silvers must play a solid role, must complete the task, where the money should be used, don't be stingy, I have asked Song Sijun to find the most powerful and shrewd bookkeeper, These two days will come, and besides, when paying the wages, don't break the hearts of the technicians and craftsmen, and whether or not they can build a good warship depends on these people. ”

"These silver is not easy to come by, the place that should be saved must be saved, while building warships, but also building large ships, as for the specific number of merchant ships, depending on the amount of silver, but the construction of warships must not be delayed."

Seven million taels of silver were spent at once, and the remaining three million taels were mainly used to meet the monthly silver of the Yamen of Fuzhou County, which was not very large every year, and 600,000 taels of silver could be coordinated, and as for the rest of the silver, it was used as reserve money.
