Gaoting Port, which had been quiet for many days, suddenly became noisy.

On the dock, Sha Fu led people to welcome Ren Siqi's return.

"My subordinates have built a lot of shacks on the island, and although the houses are simple, there is no problem in sheltering from the wind and rain, which is enough for thousands of people to live." Shafu reported to Ren Siqi.

"Shabor has worked hard!" Ren Siqi looked at Sha Fu appreciatively, in the past year, the old man has lost a lot of weight, but the person is extraordinarily energetic, and he exudes vitality that young people do not have.

"By the way, in the past twenty days, has there been anything on the island?"

"There is no big thing, that is, Chen Zhong complained that the production and supply of clay pots cannot be supplied, resulting in the inability to expand the production of canned fish. Also, it looks like the summer rice harvest is about to be harvested, but there is a serious shortage of manpower on the island, but the general has recruited thousands of people, which should alleviate the shortage of manpower. ”

Along the way, Shafu babbled about what happened on the island, in short, there were no big things, but there were many small things, and the cause of the things was because of the lack of manpower.

"By the way, Huang Fengwu and Huang Girl have come to Daishan, and they have been waiting for you for many days." Shafu finally said.

"Where is she?" Ren Siqi stopped all of a sudden, looking around.

"Don't look at it, Miss Huang couldn't bear it, so she asked for a boat to go to sea, and according to her, she wanted to go to the islands to see."

Ren Siqi nodded, got into the carriage, and headed towards Gaoting Town, leaving Daishan for more than 20 days, there were many things waiting for him to deal with. As for the resettlement of the recruited displaced people, he had already made arrangements for them to be taken to the camp.

On the northeast coast of Gaoting Harbor, a cliff of five or six miles blocks between the island and the sea.

On the inside of the cliff, at the junction of the gentle slope and the flat land, there are hundreds of shacks. The houses are made of bamboo, covered with thatch, and are used to temporarily house the homeless people.

However, it was Ren Jun and Chen Mingyang who were responsible for the resettlement of the displaced people, and Daishan Island lacked talents, so Ren Siqi had to send the two teenagers on. Of course, the regulations for the resettlement of displaced people have already been drawn up, and the two of them are only responsible for implementing them.

In these days at sea, Ren Jun and Chen Mingyang carried out a simple organization of the displaced people. Basically, the displaced people are grouped by boat. Basically, ten households and one first-class were appointed, and the old man with a lot of knowledge was appointed as the first chief, the tenth was a hundred households, and an officer of the Daishan Army was appointed as a hundred households.

The establishment is basically based on the Da Ming Guard, because it is stated that every male must join the army when recruiting, so the identities of these people are all military households.

Ren Jun and Chen Mingyang went from boat to boat these days to preach to the homeless people about the situation in Daishan and their future treatment.

The young and strong men among the homeless people must be soldiers, and if they become soldiers, they will be paid, and each soldier will be paid at least one or two taels of silver per month. The elderly among the displaced people can rent farmland in Daishan, and the government will lend them tools for cultivating cattle and grain. It is stipulated that each household can rent a maximum of 20 mu of cultivated land, and only need to pay four buckets of grain per mu, and the government will not levy any more taxes.

Most of the displaced people from Shandong are farmers, naturally willing to farm, at first the rent was a little high, but when they went to Daishan Island, they saw the heavy rice that was about to mature in the field, they all smiled happily, according to this kind of crop, the yield per mu will definitely reach more than one load, and it will be handed over to the government four buckets, and there are at least six or seven buckets, twenty acres of land, and more than ten stone grains can be left every year! This is still a grain season, and when the autumn harvest is over, there will be more surplus grain.

Men serve as soldiers, old men farm, and women can work. Daishan's canned fish sells well all over the south of the Yangtze River, and the supply exceeds the demand, and a large number of female workers are needed. A female worker who works for a month can earn at least one tael of silver.

After listening to the explanations of Ren Jun and others, these displaced people in Shandong were excited one by one, and felt that a better day was just around the corner.

Of course, if you want to live a good life, you have to pay a price, and the price is to obey the management and work hard.

In response to these displaced people, Ren Siqi formulated a series of regulations, ranging from personal hygiene, to living habits, to personnel organization. Displaced people must keep in mind the regulations, and those who violate the law will be punished severely.

There were a few homeless people who could not bear the loneliness of the sea and made trouble in the cabin, and as a result, everyone was escorted to the deck, beaten half to death, and tied to the mast for public display. There is one of the regulations that prohibits private fights between ordinary people and soldiers.

After getting off the boat and entering the dock, the displaced people walked into the temporary camp under the leadership of the officials of the hundred households. Each household was assigned a shack, and 100 shacks formed a village, and more than a dozen new villages appeared in the northeast of the island.

The displaced people were given three days to settle into their new homes, and the government distributed daily necessities such as pots and bowls, and the money was deducted from their future salaries. Each homeless household was given ten catties of rice, and as for other oil, salt and other things, they could go to Gaoting Town to buy them, and it didn't matter if they didn't have money, they could pay on credit first, and then deduct them from their salaries.

A simple pot stove was built, mangosteen was cut down to make a simple bed, the thatch was removed from the front and back of the house, the ground in front of the house was leveled, and when the smoke rose from the stove, a new home was built.

Tasting the sweet rice, tears of happiness flowed from the eyes of the homeless people.

Three days later, the men were required to undergo intensive training, and they would be organized into an army to become the army of the Daishan Army.

Ren Siqi attaches great importance to the establishment of the army, and does everything himself.

In Ren Siqi's concept, the Daishan Army should train at least 10,000 troops in the next year, so as to cope with the chaotic situation in Jiangnan when the Qing troops moved south a year later.

As for the newly established infantry establishment, Ren Siqi did not intend to adopt the regimental, battalion and company establishment of later generations, which was simply nondescript in this era, and he did not have time to explain to people what a company was and what a platoon was.

Ren Siqi is now a guerrilla in coastal defense, and his subordinates are naturally regular officers and soldiers, and of course they must adopt the Ming military system.

The current establishment of the Daishan Army is ten people and one small flag, five small flags and one general flag, and three general flags and one team. The largest number of people is a team, about 160 people.

Ren Siqi decided that the original establishment would remain unchanged, except that there would be a battalion above the team, four teams and one battalion, and the battalion would be a battalion with a thousand-household rank.

In this way, the original three teams of veterans, plus the new 1,000 recruits, can form two battalions.

As for the candidates for Yingzheng, Jin Yufei counted one, and the other Ren Siqi originally liked the Dutchman Monroe, but thinking of his Dutch identity, Ren Siqi decided to forget it and let Ren Xingfan serve for the time being. And Monroe, Ren Siqi decided to give him a staff position, unless he no longer had the intention of returning to the Netherlands and stayed in Daming wholeheartedly, Ren Siqi would not let him lead the troops again.
