Chapter 033: Immigration Matters.
The people who came to the match field to participate in the deliberations included Jia Yuan, Jia Youshi, Wu Dayou, Chen Minxin, Yang Hongju, Chen Minzhi and others.
After Wu Tianxiao saw a few people sitting down, he spoke: "Old village chief." There are many things to discuss today, the first of which is the relocation of the match workshop. I have already agreed with Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao that in the future, matches will be sold to the entire Ming Dynasty, and the match yard here will be purely used as a warehouse. ”
Jia Yuan was a little careful: "The way out for the villagers?" ”
Wu Tianxiao explained: "To put it bluntly, Wujiazhai on Dongfan Island will become an important tuntian in the future, and I can't often run on both sides, so the match yard here will be used as a warehouse." There is a need for people to deal with the sale of matches and the management of the warehouse, as well as the procurement of raw materials. And the manufacturing will be fully relocated to Wujiazhai, where is the fundamental. ”
Jia Yuan had some doubts when he heard this: "Move to Dongfan Island, ......"
Wu Tianxiao comforted: "The old village chief doesn't have to worry too much, I will take care of the benefits of the villagers." There are a lot of wastelands in Wujiazhai, and this stone is known. ”
Jia Youshi nodded: "Wu Ye is right. There is a lot of wasteland in Wujiazhai, and it is all very fertile land. What's more important is that there is no one to control it, and you can let go of your hands and feet. ”
Jia Yuan nodded and was silent.
Wu Tianxiao explained: "That's what I thought. These displaced people are all going to immigrate to Wujiazhai. As for the people in the village, I do it on a voluntary basis, and there is an exception for the villagers. Originally, the distribution of immigrants in the fields was that the peasants would stay in the fields for three years, and for three years, they would be provided with food and shelter, and a monthly supplement of 500 wen. For every ten stones of grain handed in, one acre of land will be divided into three years. There is no need to pay the field tax in the first year after the division of the land, and then one is collected based on the harvest, and in case of a disaster year, it will be reduced or reduced, but this is an arrangement for the displaced people. If there are villagers who are willing to follow, then the fields will be divided directly. As for grain, grain, cattle, farming tools, etc., I will pay for them first. Villagers can borrow first, and when it is time to harvest, they will return the income when they have it, and they will also be given three years of exemption from land. Of course. If you don't want to farm, you can do it, but you have to do a lot of things in Wujiazhai, so it's easy to hire people. ”
Jia Yuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "If Wu Ye says so, the feelings are good, so I will go and tell the people in the village." ”
Wu Tianxiao continued: "Manpower is also needed here. Warehouse fire prevention is important, so be careful and careful, and we need a lot of supplies. Therefore, it is always necessary to purchase regularly, and then transport it to Wujiazhai. ”
Jia Yuan nodded: "Okay." From then on, I don't have to worry about the oppression of the official gentry in Wujiazhai, and the affairs of the villagers will be left to me. It's just that my old man has lived here all his life and is used to it. I'll be stationed here, and my children and grandchildren will go to Wujiazhai. ”
Wu Tianxiao said happily: "With the support of the village chief, Wujiazhai will definitely prosper in the future." ”
Jia Yuan said with a smile: "Luomen Village can have today, and it will all account for the blessing of Wu Ye." You are the great benefactor of Luomen Village. ”
Wu Tianxiao continued: "Don't say that, the old village chief, the credit belongs to everyone. Another thing that is also very important is the teacher and the doctor. People inevitably have headaches and brain fever, so I wanted to hire a doctor with a high salary to build a treatment hall in Wujiazhai to treat the villagers. The old village chief had to help find this. As long as you are willing to go to Wujiazhai with us, it is not a problem how much you pay for the month. There is also the matter of the baby's reading. Not many people can read now, but you have to be literate to understand things. I want to build a school in Wujiazhai, so that all the children can study, not for the future to test for fame or anything, but to be able to read and write. I'll pay for it, as long as there are literate people who are willing to follow, I can give as much money as I want. ”
The old village chief cried with joy: "Wu Ye is really a god." With such kindness, Luomen Village will definitely set up an immortal archway for you to repay your great kindness. ”
Wu Tianxiao shook his head and said: "Whatever the old village chief says, these are all things I should do, I just ask the old village chief to help me more." ”
Jia Yuan patted his chest and said, "I don't have to say." The matter of finding the doctor and the professor will be explained to me. ”
Wu Tianxiao continued: "If Wujiazhai wants to prosper in the future, this immigration matter must be done to the end. So in the future, if anyone wants to, we can escort them to Dongfan Island. Those who stay here are also responsible for taking care of them. ”
At this time, Wu Dayou also said: "My lord." You said so many benefits, even a poor family wants to go. A certain also went back to the guard station to talk to those bitter military households, and guaranteed that he could find dozens of families. ”
Wu Tianxiao said happily: "Okay." As long as they are willing to go with us, as long as they are not for the wicked. We all welcome it. ”
Then Wu Tianxiao said to Jia Youshi: "There is a stone." I'm afraid I can't get out these days. I have a purchase list here, that is, grain, raw materials, medicinal materials, farming tools, ploughing cattle, etc., and you will go to Ningbo Mansion with the silver to buy them. I also took the opportunity to practice my ability to lead alone. ”
Jia Youshi raised his head and said, "Wu Ye rest assured." From Shuangyu Port to the wharf of the county seat and then to Ningbo Mansion, the villains of this line have followed Wu Ye to sail. Although it was only once or twice, the villain was born and raised locally, and he was familiar with all the mountains and rivers, so he couldn't miss Wu Ye's big things. ”
Wu Tianxiao was relieved: "Okay." Then you will operate the expedition to Ningbo Mansion this time, there is a compass on the ship, it is safer. And in the future, you will also have to learn to use the route map more, I will teach you how to read the route map, you should still remember. ”
Jia Youshi nodded: "I can't draw that picture, but I can still use it when I look at it." ”
So the people did so in this way. The matchfield in Luomen Village was used as the warehouse of Wujiazhai on Zhoushan Island in the future, and Wu Tianxiao's residence in Zhoushan. Jia went to persuade the villagers to follow the migration and look for doctors and teachers to see a doctor. Jia Youshi went to purchase supplies, Wu Dayou went to persuade the military households to relocate, and Chen Minxin and others took some people, some of whom were responsible for the safety of the ships, and some of whom assisted.
Naturally, the displaced immigrants did not say that these people were originally people who were about to starve to death. If it weren't for Wu Tianxiao, the sturdy ones would either go to the grass or sell themselves into slavery, not to mention other women and children. Therefore, after listening to Wu Tianxiao's Tuntian conditions, they packed their little bags and followed Wu Tianxiao across the sea to Dongfan Island. And the villagers of Luomen Village saw that the people who followed Wu Tianxiao at the beginning were all developed, and after listening to the arrangement of land division, they were willing to follow. Only a few people could not leave their homeland, so they stayed behind to help the old village chief take care of the warehouse.
And the military households that nominally belong to Wu Tianxiao's jurisdiction are also willing to go to Wujiazhai to try under the persuasion of Wu Dayou. After all, Wu Dayou's development is obvious to all. As for the escape of military households, Chen Qianhe didn't care at all, he could still swallow the food and salary of the fleeing military households. Originally, Chen Qianhe was already eating empty salaries, so now there are military families who have fled, and the more they escape, the more they eat, which is exactly what he wants. What's more, he still has an inexplicable relationship with Wu Tianxiao.
In the face of wealth, the people who are willing to go to Dongfan Island are not only homeless people, fishermen and military households, but also some doctors who see a doctor. and some of the talents who failed to make the list and lost confidence in fame, are willing to take a risk in the face of high salaries. Such a flowing ocean began to ripple from the small Zhoushan. In the Ming Dynasty at this time, due to the sea ban, many coastal people who couldn't survive secretly went to sea to make a living. In this context, Zhoushan's small drifting ocean is like a pebble thrown into the sea, although it ripples a splash, but it quickly disappears into the waves.
Under the care of Chen Qianhe and Tang Xianyao, the immigration and procurement of materials went smoothly. Originally, more than 1,000 migrants could be transported by two sea ships at full capacity, and the migrants could still be transported in one or two times. But in order to transport more supplies, the migrants were transported several times. When they went, they carried immigrants and supplies, and when they returned, they carried furs and timber that they had received from the natives of Dongfan.
