Chapter 336: Divide the War Dividends
The war is basically over, but the harvest of war dividends has just begun, the Western Regions are vast, and the Ming Dynasty's control over the Western Regions is still relatively poor, and it needs to be further strengthened.
The first batch of immigrants were military households in Guyuan Town, Gansu Town, and Ningxia Town, and they received a number of land dividends. About 12 million acres of land were allocated to them.
Of course, it is not possible to immigrate all of them at once, and the immigration work will be completed within two years.
After some statistics on the merits of the war, Zhu Youxiao allocated about 10 million mu of land to reward the officers and men who participated in the war, and each person was allocated an average of 35 mu of cultivated land. The farmland will be operated by an agricultural company set up by the military.
The existing arable land in the Western Regions has basically been carved up, what about the alien races left behind by the Yarkand Khanate? It is easy to do this, and directly register as second-class citizens who cannot own land, and send them to work on the farms, to work as the laborers of the cotton planters who have already built the labor.
These second-class people not only could not own land, but also could not enjoy some benefits, and the imperial court only guaranteed their basic right to survival, and they could not die of starvation. This guarantee was based on the premise that these aliens were willing to do things, and as the defeated side, these aliens were subjected to military control.
Since the Western Regions is relatively vast, it is not so easy to control. Then, if these scattered alien races are gathered together and military control of production is implemented, even if there will be chaos, they will soon be suppressed by the army, and it will not be able to pose any threat to the rule of the imperial court in the Western Regions, let alone threaten the Han people who have immigrated to the past.
The aliens under military control will be gathered together to settle down and all weapons will be confiscated. Religious activities and travel are regulated. Work will naturally be scheduled. When you do something, you will pay and pay for it. The level of wages will be lower. But it's not too low, and adult men also have an income of 2 yuan a month.
For those who are sick and disabled who cannot work, the imperial court will give them subsidies every month, and in general, they will not die of hunger. Those who have hands and feet, the court does not give subsidies.
When the farming is busy, these aliens work on the military farms, and when the farming is not working, they go to build water conservancy facilities and roads.
The vanquished of these years are not slaughtered, and the **** is already thankful, what is it to be controlled by martial law. The officers and soldiers did not massacre them, nor did they insult the women. Therefore, when the Ming officers and soldiers carried out centralized management of these alien races, they did not encounter too strong resistance.
Of course, the resistance was ineffective, and the Ming officers and soldiers gathered them together with knives to settle and manage. Those who are obedient are rewarded, and those who are disobedient are cut down.
These alien races are demographic dividends, low labor costs, women and child laborers can use it, and the most troublesome thing in the cotton planting industry is cotton picking, and women and child laborers themselves can do it.
These alien races, who are also engaged in agriculture, naturally have to be treated with this kind of policy, after all, if they are not managed in this way. They live together with the Han people, and there will inevitably be great conflicts because of religious issues. Compared with. Because the Mongols do not have an extremist religion and do not completely mix with the Han Chinese, they mainly live in the steppe, so the treatment pattern of the Mongols is different.
In order to obtain a normal citizen's household registration, a foreigner who is classified as a second-class citizen must first leave the extremist religion, learn to speak Chinese, and must not have a criminal record.
Such a solution is simple and crude, once and for all. Who else came up with this idea, naturally it was Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
The wishful thinking that crackled in the Forbidden City can be regarded as dividing the war dividends in the Western Regions.
In terms of land dividends, 12 million mu was allocated for the resettlement of border troops, and 10 million mu was allocated for rewarding officers and soldiers participating in the war. There are also large tracts of uncultivated land, about 40 million mu of cultivated land, which will be divided between the state-owned agricultural companies and the production corps.
Most of the mineral resources will be acquired by state-owned mining companies.
Those alien races are demographic dividends, which will be squeezed through militarized management.
To develop the population gap in the Western Regions, workers and immigrants will be recruited from the customs to fill it, and the population can be developed slowly. Anyway, the northwest region is also in a hurry to develop a lot, and it can be roughly developed within ten years.
The focus is still on sweeping away the threat of alien races and establishing a harmonious order. And as much cotton can be produced as much as the place is developed.
Qinghai and Yibu also surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youxiao immediately sent people to Qinghai to establish an administration, and at the same time divided the grassland to change the production and social model of Heyibu.
In May of the seventh year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao announced that the Ming Dynasty had successfully recovered the Western Regions, and decreed the establishment of the Western Regions Province and recruited immigrants in the Guannei provinces.
As soon as the news was announced, the people in various provinces caused a sensation.
Since the new monarch ascended the throne, there have only been seven years. However, in the past seven years, it has been constantly expanding its territory, especially in the past few years.
It not only swept away Jiannu, defeated Mongolia, captured Nanyang, but also opened up Australia, and now recovered the Western Regions. Moreover, in the north, the reform has been carried out vigorously, and now the economy of the New Deal area is flourishing, the people can achieve food and clothing, and the cultural and martial arts are all first-class.
Of course, this is the opinion of some people of insight, and more groups whose interests have been harmed are full of complaints about the emperor, hoping that the emperor will burp tomorrow.
In the summer of this year, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy arrived in Tianjin by sea and came all the way to Beijing. I saw thousands of sails racing on the sea, and when I arrived at Tianjin Port, I was even more business-traveling. In this Gyeonggi land, there is a lot of traffic all the way. It gives people the feeling that there are many horses and cars.
In recent years, the price of horses in the Ming Dynasty has fallen rapidly, especially in the northern provinces, and the price of horses has become very cheap, and only the price of horses that can be used as military horses is relatively high. The main reason is that the Ming Dynasty has established its own grassland economic zone and obtained a vast horse-producing land.
Today's Ming Dynasty, the northeast can produce a large number of horses, and the Hetao area can also produce horses. In addition, the number of horses in the New Deal area increased dramatically due to the continuous development of commerce and the accumulation of wealth.
The only bad thing is that horse manure can be seen everywhere on the road, so the official has sent people to clean it, but there is still a lot of horse manure.
The people of the Gyeonggi area are in good spirits.
Many peasants and workers wore dyed cotton cloth that looked bright. And it can be seen from the complexion that most of the daily diet is still good.
Obviously, everyone in the Gyeonggi region can get a minimum of food and clothing, and those who can't achieve food and clothing are those who are lazy and lazy. If you can't do things, the imperial court has also given you a subsistence allowance, and food and clothing are not a problem.
"What a change! The last time I followed my father to Beijing, I could still see people living in poverty everywhere, but now I can't see them anymore. When the boy came to the outside of the capital, he found that the shantytowns outside the city walls of the capital were gone, replaced by streets and rows of new houses.
Jingshi has developed over the years, and the population has grown a bit large. Although the displaced people who had no support were resettled to reclaim the wasteland, in the process of development, many new people poured in.
Especially many people from other provinces don't want to leave when they come. At that time, Zhu Youxiao's household registration was not so strict, and it was relatively easy to relocate the household registration, which caused the population of Beijing to skyrocket. This made Zhu Youxiao understand some of the benefits of household registration restrictions in China in later generations, so the checkpoints for household registration migration became much stricter.
However, today's Jingshi, whose population has grown to more than 4 million, is definitely the most populous city in the Ming Dynasty. The land in the city is naturally insufficient, and the city wall must not be demolished, so there is another ring of land outside the city, which is the third ring of the Beijing Division! The Imperial City is inside the First Ring Road, the outer city is inside the Second Ring Road, and the outside of the City is the Third Ring Road.
The teenager came all the way to the Royal College of Science and Technology, and this year's enrollment has ended for two months, and there are still three months to go. In order to facilitate students from far away to enroll in Beijing, the entrance exams will be long in advance.
The young man's name is Fang Yizhi, and he was admitted to the Royal Academy of Science and Technology with extremely unnatural results. When he came to report at the Royal College of Science and Technology, he was assigned to sit in on the hearing. The Royal College of Science and Technology has always been like this, and you can go to class after reporting. According to their own learning pace, what classes are arranged by themselves, and students are often assigned to give lectures.
Fang Yizhi, who came to the Royal Institute of Science and Technology, is very satisfied with the environment here. The Royal Institute of Science and Technology has complete living facilities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are very good, which can make people concentrate on studying, and the emperor will also pay subsidies every month.
And the Royal Institute of Science and Technology has a beautiful environment, and the Gyeonggi area is indeed developing well, but environmental problems have also begun to appear, and a lot of coal burning has caused ash everywhere, many places look black, and the construction site is even more dusty.
In order to prevent those missionaries from bringing these textbooks back to Europe, Zhu Youxiao successively drove the Spaniards and Dutch out of East Asia, and then brought the Portuguese to Malacca. Those missionaries who came to China were invited to serve in the imperial court one by one, but they were forbidden to preach and were not allowed to return to Europe. These missionaries are revising Zhu Youxiao's calendar!
These mathematics, physics and chemistry textbooks, in this year's earth, are like the secret books of martial arts novels, and it is impossible to get all of them unless they are admitted to the Royal Academy of Science and Technology. In primary school, only mathematics is taught, while in middle school, some basic mathematics, physics and chemistry are taught, but they are all very basic.
Of course, it's not that Zhu Youxiao is so perverted that he doesn't spread it internally, but that there are not enough teachers. Sooner or later, this thing will spread internally, and sooner or later it will be transmitted to Europe, Zhu Youxiao can block and spread to Europe for a few years anyway, and there is still no restriction on the education and dissemination of local official schools.
What surprised Fang Yizhi was the steam engine, he saw this legendary thing for the first time. Since the birth of the steam engine, there has not been a single official word in the newspapers, but this coal-burning machine has been passed on by word of mouth. The first time he saw this thing, Fang Yizhi became interested in the steam engine. (To be continued.) )
