By the end of March, not only had a large number of displaced people been recruited from Ningxia Prefecture and Xi'an, but many of them who did not meet the recruitment conditions had voluntarily followed them to the Thousand Households. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

At the beginning, there was not much flow, but later more and more people came from themselves, which is the so-called herd effect. Since he came, Feng Youcai can't ignore it, he must arrange for them to work to earn some rations, otherwise these people will still starve to death, if they give them food for nothing, it will be okay for half a day, but these homeless people will not leave in a short period of time, so they must consider their long-term livelihood.

Feng Youcai discussed with Zhang Yang and Zheng Hao and issued an order: after registering, the displaced people could go to the wasteland, and they would get 1 stone of rice for every 1 mu of land cleared on the planned wasteland, and they could cultivate it for free for one year, without collecting rent, and from the second year onwards, they would hand over the land to the Thousand Households.

Zhang Yang had another suggestion: "Young master, I suggest that we hire these homeless people to build roads and canals, anyway, we have a lot of food, which not only feeds them, but also is conducive to our long-term development; After repairing the land, it will be convenient for us to transfer troops and support each other between the various forts; Repairing aqueducts will increase the grain harvest of our thousands of households. “

Zheng Hao also echoed this suggestion: "In this way, more displaced people can be resettled, and those who perform well in building roads and canals and those who have a large number of acres of wasteland can be allowed to stay in the northern part of the city to cultivate, and then they will be allocated a piece of wasteland, and there will be taxes every year, which is very beneficial to us." Now we just have to pay some food, and we can earn loyalty points for earning points. ”

"Young master, we can hire more people to speed up the construction of forts in various places, Zhenguan Fort is about to be completed, the houses and streets inside have not been sorted out, and there is no one to build other forts for the time being, the construction speed of Lingbao in Dawukou Fort and Chonggang Fort is still too slow, and more people need to be dispatched."

"Dawukou Fort and Chonggang Fort are very important, they are the second barrier to block the Mongols coming from Helan Mountain, they must be built well, and the construction is fast, otherwise our interior will be easily attacked by the Mongols."

Feng Youcai wanted to build Dawukou Fort into the center of the west, and the scale of Lingbao was also much larger, with the shape of 8 hedra, each side length was 250 meters long, and at least 1 thousand troops should be stationed there; In the past, there were wars in the west, and troops were sent from thousands of households, which was not timely enough, and now the construction of Dawukou Lingbao is to solve this shortcoming; Stationed a thousand-strong team at Dawukou Fort, even if 20,000 Mongols came, it would be difficult to capture it in a short time.

Chonggang Fort was built according to the scale of the Hundred Households, but it was smaller than the Hundred Households' Fort, and it was also the shape of the Lingbao, with a side length of 200 meters, but an arrow tower was added in the middle of each side to strengthen the attack power.

The Udaling Fort and the Iron Mountain Border Wall were built by the troops, and there was no need to hire local labor.

In order to strengthen the fortification of Dawukou Fort and Chonggang Fort, some lime was mixed into the earthen wall. Let the workshop division set up a large lime kiln in the mountainous area west of Dawukou, which is very convenient to take materials nearby. In order to make the road surface stronger, the newly built roadbed was added with a layer of triple soil, and the required lime was also produced from here.

With the posting of the recruitment notice, there was an endless stream of applicants from all over the country. Since these jobs are all jobs with no technical content, the requirements for individuals are not high, and those who can work and are not lazy are recruited. The displaced people are not because they are lazy, but because the environment has driven them to a dead end, so they have to leave their homeland. Now there is an opportunity to earn food by working, and these displaced people cherish it. Moreover, the notice also said that as long as they work hard, after completing their work in the future, those who perform well will be allocated land in the northern district of the city, and they will be allowed to settle down here, so that these displaced people will cherish this opportunity even more. Looking at the families who came together, because someone in the family joined the security army, and now they are living a relatively happy life, the family has divided the land, the cattle and sheep, and the probability house is also organized, and the thousands of households also distribute food, and they are naturally very envious in their hearts, and now they have this kind of opportunity, so they can miss it.

Feng Youcai only sent a few technicians and supervisors to each construction site.

The first road to start construction is the road from Qianhusuo to Dawukou Fort and then to Chonggangbao, which is the traffic avenue connecting the south of the city and the north of the city, Feng Youcai attaches great importance to this road, the width of the design is 8 meters, half a meter higher than the surrounding ground, the drainage ditch should be dug out on both sides of the road at the same time, the technical personnel designed the detailed requirements, and the construction supervisors should strictly follow the requirements of the construction, so that after the construction is completed, the smooth flow of the road can be guaranteed, and the canal is dug out at the same time, so as to ensure that the fields on both sides of the road can be easily irrigated in the future. In the rainy season, the road can be drained by the drainage canal in time, which ensures the smooth flow of the road. At the construction site, the men are responsible for building the road, first building the roadbed, and then digging out the soil on both sides of the road, mixing sand and lime in the soil to form a triple soil, and then compacting and flattening, and then tidying up the canal according to the requirements, and planting trees on both sides of the road, which is considered to be a completed section. Middle-aged women were also hired to help with the cooking, but for less pay, but that made the women happy.

The second major road built is the road from Qianhusuo to Zhenguanbao, and the specifications are the same.

The roads that were built one after another were all roads leading from the original 100 households to the 1,000 households.

Because of the distribution of grain, and according to the distribution of one food stamp every five days, he can go to the grain stores of 1,000 households or 100 households at any time to exchange for food, which also attracts local residents to participate in road construction. Zhang Wei knew that the local residents had just converted from military households and their families were not wealthy, and he was willing to let them work, which made the construction of roads faster.

Many of the originally desolate and remote places are now connected to the main road, and Zheng Hao hurriedly planned a few more villages next to the main road, so that when any more immigrants come, they can be arranged at any time.

When building the road, Zhang Yang proposed to strengthen the forts of each hundred households and renovate the North Great Wall, Feng Youcai also agreed, but after arranging the task or nodding, Zhang Yang and Zheng Hao, as well as the township chiefs and deputy township heads of the townships below, handled the matter well, and Feng Youcai didn't have to worry about it at all.

Suddenly, the entire Qianhu area was full of construction sites, some built roads, some dug canals, some built houses, some repaired city walls, some built Ling Forts, some built forts, some built schools, some reclaimed wasteland, all the people were busy, and the displaced people who were worried before began to smile on their faces, at least life began to have hope.

After the start of construction, Feng Youcai also ordered that the relief for these displaced people be gradually reduced, and then gradually excessive enough to let them support themselves.

When building roads and building new villages and renovating forts and the North Great Wall, Zheng Hao found several people with relatively high command talents or more prestige, all of whom were arranged to the township government as temporary assistants to the township head.

I believe that if you keep the displaced people here, arrange jobs for them, and even distribute land to them, your points will rise in the future.

Zhang Yang also suggested that after these projects were completed, the construction of the road from Qianhusuo to Ningxia Fucheng could begin.

Feng Youcai asked: "Wouldn't we be too high-profile like this?" ”

"Young master, the road is also built to facilitate the transfer of troops in the future. Hold on for another 2 years, and you won't have to be so careful in the future, it's really sad to have this kind of life. ”

Feng Youcai thinks about it, it's really embarrassing to do this. I have been busy at home for more than 1 month, doing some practical things for the villagers, and also consolidating the foundation of the base area, the next step is to do big things, and I can't forget my original intention.
