Chapter 430: Proper Arrangement
After receiving the holy order, Su Tiancheng did not leave Luoyang immediately, he still had some things to arrange.
Following the Jiangning battalion into Henan Mansion, there were 100,000 people, including 20,000 prisoners, these people must be resettled, the previous 20,000 prisoners, according to Su Tiancheng's opinion, left 2,000 people into the Jiangning camp, the rest were dismissed to the state and county, and the state and county were required to do a good job of resettlement.
Economic development is inseparable from the support of people, especially in the agricultural society, these people can go to the prefectures and counties of Henan Province, they can open up wasteland for farming, and can repair ditches.
The project of dredging the Yellow River is nearing completion, and Liu Zunxian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, has returned to Beijing to resume his life.
Because of the renovation of the Yellow River, the people of Henan Province got the actual benefits, got the silver, so it is said that Fuzhou County is very stable, in the first month and February, there are almost no people to the government to complain, after entering March, because of the busy farming, Fuzhou County Yamen have stopped making notices.
After the Spring Festival, the population of Henan Province increased significantly.
The reputation here has spread, and the people of Shaanxi, Shanxi and other prefectures and counties in Henan know that they have come to Henan Mansion to earn money and eat well, not only the common people, but also the gentry and wealthy families and businessmen, and they have also begun to gather in large numbers in Henan Mansion.
The biggest change is still in Shaanzhou, where the rapid increase in population has caused the city to slowly expand.
Qu Qingze has already obtained the true inheritance of Su Tiancheng, and knows how to deal with these things.
Before leaving Henan Mansion and rushing to the capital, Su Tiancheng convened the officials of Fuzhou County again and held a meeting.
He briefly briefed the Jiangning battalion on the major victory he had won at the meeting and on what to do in the future. It is he who wants to emphasize that there are more and more foreigners in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Henan Prefecture, which is an inevitable situation, since the conditions of Henan Prefecture are better than those in the surrounding areas. Naturally, the common people will pour here, and the local government must not refuse, and must accept these people.
In the spring ploughing season, it is important to urge the people to farm the land, and the project of dredging and renovating the Yellow River has taken into account the drought problem around Henan Province, and several counties have been able to solve the drought problem. Crops such as wheat, sweet potatoes and maize must be planted.
The government should encourage the people to open up the wasteland, and the government will only register the cultivated land, and within three years, all taxes will be exempted, and not only that, but the government will also take out seeds and so on to assist the people who have just arrived in Henan Province.
The government should make great efforts to support businessmen. Encourage businessmen to expand their operations and hire as many associates as possible. Let the people not just get income from the land.
Su Tiancheng's arrangement this time has attracted a lot of attention.
Some of his arrangements are far beyond the understanding of this era, and the emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of commerce is the fundamental understanding of many scholars, although the trade in the south has been very developed, but most of them are the products of the combination of government and business. It is very rare to really support the development of commerce and trade.
Su Tiancheng didn't care about these discussions, he was determined to do it according to his own ideas, as long as he could achieve practical results.
Qu Qingze entered the third hall.
When Qu Qingze came to Luoyang for a meeting, he always had a regretful expression on his face. The Jiangning battalion achieved a major victory this time, and it is of course a pity that he was not able to participate in it.
Su Tiancheng also saw that Qu Qingze was originally one of the founders of the Jiangning Battalion, and he must have felt a little uncomfortable if he couldn't participate in the battle.
"Lao Qu, don't have any ideas, you have done a good job in building Shaanzhou."
"My lord, the lower officials are still used to following the actions of the Jiangning battalion."
"Hehe, there will be opportunities in the future, how long do you think I can stay in Henan Mansion, I have calculated it myself, at most two years, the next task of the Jiangning Battalion will be heavier."
Qu Qingze nodded, he also expected this situation.
"My lord, the information sent by the dark line, the lower officials have sorted it out, the situation in Shaanxi to exterminate the Liukou is not good, and it has not achieved much results, mainly because of the harassment of Houjin, which has dispersed the force, and I don't know where the news of Lu Dao and Houjin got from, and actually attacked Shanhaiguan and Jizhou."
"Lao Qu, there is nothing unusual about this situation, Houjin's strategy is not to want my Daming to settle down, and take advantage of the opportunity for my Daming to exterminate the Liukou, attack on a large scale and gain benefits, this is the real smartness."
"But Houjin won't get any benefits, it's the busy farming season, and they can't loot their property."
"Your understanding is going to be improved, Houjin's strategy has changed, in the past, they invaded the Guannai, the main purpose may be to loot money, but after the battle of Dalinghe, their purpose has changed fundamentally, thinking of more than just money, if we still maintain the original understanding, it will produce a lot of wrong analysis."
Qu Qingze was a little surprised, although it was said that the Houjin Manchurian Eight Banners and the Mengba Eight Banners were brave and good at fighting, they had always been regarded as outliers, that is, some uncivilized people, thinking about snatching money.
According to Su Tiancheng, Houjin thought of more than just money, which had been transferred to Jiangshan.
"My lord, does Houjin really have such a climate?"
"Lao Qu, Houjin's thoughts, have long changed, I said this before, you may not believe it, you look at the map, Beizhili Xuanfu, Yanqing Prefecture, Shuntian Mansion, Yongping Mansion and other places, almost all of them are occupied by Houjin, outside the Guan, the Ningjin defense line that the imperial court relies on, relying on almost such a lonely city as Jinzhou, the year before last, Houjin has occupied Lushun, and the waterway reinforced by the imperial army has been cut off."
"After the Later Jin conquered the Mongolian tribes, Datong in Shanxi and Yulin in Shaanxi all became border towns, and they were always threatened by the Later Jin, and the attack launched by the Later Jin from the direction of Datong last year has shown this."
"In fact, the occupation of Lushun by Houjin has explained everything."
"Let's talk about the Houjin offensive over the years, in the past, they focused on looting money, that was because the land they occupied was barren, it was difficult to feed many people, and their strength was not enough to attack my Ming Dynasty, but in the battle of Salhu during the Wanli period, Houjin won the victory, and at that time, the situation began to change."
"The battle of Dalinghe, because I built Dalinghe City forty-five miles away from Jinzhou in the Ming Dynasty to further consolidate the Ningjin defense line, which Houjin could not allow. If the Houjin only wanted to loot the wealth, they wouldn't care if I built Dalinghe City, but they were plotting the Central Plains and the world, so Huang Taiji launched a war in the process of building Dalinghe City, and the result was a fiasco for my Ming army, and it was precisely because of this fiasco that the delusion of Houjin was further consolidated. ”
"The imperial court exterminated the Liukou, in order to stabilize the interior, anyway, in terms of financial and material resources, the Houjin cannot be compared with my Ming Dynasty, as long as my Ming Dynasty military and people unite as one and work together, one day, the Houjin can be exterminated."
"How can Huang Taiji not understand this kind of truth, he doesn't want the court to exterminate the Liukou, the more chaotic the Central Plains, the greater his chance, so he will always pay attention to the movements in the pass, once the imperial court begins to exterminate the Liukou on a large scale, he will look for an opportunity to invade my Ming border pass, which makes it difficult for the court to take care of the head and tail, and has to divide the forces to deal with their harassment."
"Houjin's Huang Taiji is really powerful, this is a very unusual opponent."
Qu Qingze looked at Su Tiancheng and was dumbfounded.
It is said that Su Tiancheng did not do anything in the imperial court, after the imperial examination, he went directly to Jiangning County, and then to Henan Mansion, only five years before and after, how to analyze the overall affairs of the Ming Dynasty so accurately.
"My lord, do you mean that Houjin is about to launch a large-scale attack on my Jinzhou, Shanhaiguan, and Jizhou areas?"
"Not yet, Huang Taiji doesn't have that kind of strength, on the occasion of spring ploughing, there are also people who want to eat in the places under their control, besides, the border soldiers in Shanhaiguan and Jinzhou, the combat effectiveness is still okay, although it is not enough for field battles, but the defense of the city is still competent."
"So it's not a big problem for the time being."
"The problem will come soon, don't forget Kong Youde and Shang Kexi, they used to be the generals of my Ming Dynasty, familiar with many firearms, and a large number of soldiers led by them also took refuge in Houjin, attacking the city and pulling out the village, which used to be the weakness of Houjin, but as time went by, such a weakness no longer exists, at that time, it was time for Houjin to attack in a big way."
Qu Qingze nodded and did not speak.
"The information provided by Lao Qu, the dark line and Huang Zaisheng is very important, we must analyze the accurate dynamics from these intelligence, so that the Jiangning battalion can really prepare, this time Lord Sun exterminated the Liukou in Shaanxi, because the Houjin harassed the Jingshi area, and was forced to divide the troops to protect the Jingshi, which happened to fall into the Houjin's scheme."
"In fact, the harassment of Houjin, the army of Shanhaiguan, can completely deal with it, there is no need to transfer troops from Yulin and Datong, if you accurately analyze Houjin's intentions, you can deal with it very well, but unfortunately, this kind of truth, some adults in the court understand, but no one dares to say such a thing."
"It is precisely because of these circumstances that our task is very heavy, we must do our best to build Henan Mansion, I believe in speaking with facts, some people think that Jiangning County is a small place, it used to be a rich place, there is no representativeness, but the situation in Henan Mansion is different, it used to be a barren place, if you can make Henan Mansion develop rapidly in the shortest possible time, look at some adults in the imperial court, what else can you say."
"I said so much, just to let you understand, don't think about any conquest for the time being, since you are serving as the governor of Shaanzhou, then you can rest assured, do things in a down-to-earth manner, have no distractions, and build a good place in Shaanzhou." (To be continued......)
