The problem of agriculture is the number one problem in China, China's large population determines that most of the people have to dig in the fields, Zhao Lie now understands the importance of land, there are more than 200,000 Liao people under his command, most of them have to be arranged in farming, Jeju Island, Zhao Lie plans to settle 30,000 or 40,000 people, although only a small number of Liao people can be settled, which can make other Liao people see hope and have hope.

Jeju Island is not big, there are mountains and hills in the middle, only the north, west, and south have a narrow seaside plain, because it is an island, the land is relatively barren, and there is no water retention, rice can not be planted, the local is to cultivate beans, sorghum and other miscellaneous grains, a large part of the local grain has to be transported from the mainland, not to mention the addition of tens of thousands of mouths.

However, Zhao Lie's starting point of agricultural knowledge, as far as he knows, there is basically no problem with sweet potatoes where sorghum can be cultivated. As long as you pay attention to the drainage of the fields, as long as it is not a depression, after all, sweet potatoes are afraid of waterlogging. And the yield of sweet potatoes is staggering, and feeding the island's tens of thousands of people is no problem.

Therefore, Zhao Lie is eager to know the sweet potato harvest in Shidao, after all, the sweet potatoes at this time have not been in the Ming Dynasty for many years, and there is no problem of water and soil adaptation, which is not only related to the stability of the hearts of Zuo Qianhu, but also related to the question of how many people can be placed in Jeju Island.

Before that, measuring the acres of fields, to achieve the number of ripe fields and wasteland, this is the most urgent matter, this year is not to think about it, but next year's spring ploughing is no matter how can not be missed.

As a result, the Qing War Group headed by Bai Shidi, Wei Yu, and Zhu Rongsheng was established, and they followed Ma Tao and Xu Hong to clean up the fields in Shidao, which can be said to be quite experienced. Zhao Lie allowed them to recruit more than 100 people to participate in the Qing war, at the same time, Zhao Lie also equipped them with three hundred soldiers, without the pressure of force, the local gentry and landlords will not give in, after all, the acres of land are measured clearly, and all their hidden fields are cleared, and the taxes on the extra acres are a lot of silver, which is like cutting their flesh into the bone marrow, resistance is certain, but it is just a question of how to resist.

The site of the craftsman camp was finally determined at the foot of a hill more than ten miles south of Jeju City, where a large river water flows out from the central mountainous area, and is not on the original main roundabout road, which is more hidden, because there are no minerals on Jeju Island, so Zhao Lie has no intention of establishing an iron-making plant, after all, the loss of transporting a large amount of ore from overseas to Jeju is too great, and the wrought iron produced by the Shidao ironmaking plant can be transported to Jeju to cast cannons, armor, and firearms, so that the function of the Jeju artisan camp is much purer than that of Shidao, which is a weapons factory. It occupies a smaller area than Stone Island, and it is less difficult to build. Zhao Lie believed that after the arrival of the Liao people, the artisan household camp would soon be established and operational.

On the contrary, the location of the barracks and the shipyard is difficult, and the water depth on the coast of Jeju Port is about five or six miles long to the west and four miles to the east, but it is impossible for the barracks and the shipyard to be adjacent to each other, because the scope of each place is not large enough, but if it is separated, it is not Shidao, and the North Korean and Japanese countries are close to the left, threatening the shipyard, after all, this is not Shidao and there is a bay mouth fort to hold it, Jeju Port is an open port, and it is relatively convenient to enter and exit, once the shipyard is lost, the loss is huge.

In the end, Zhao Lie and Muñoz, Qi Wei, Wanji and others agreed to establish a naval battalion on the west side, a shipyard on the east side, and the military camp to guard the shipyard to set up three hundred total escort teams, at the same time, around the naval division battalion and the shipyard will each build five batteries, this is not a small project, after all, a fort costs nearly 1,000 taels of silver, plus 12 cannons, as well as the silver rewards of the gunners and guards of the fort, each fort can not be won without more than 3,000 taels of silver.

The refugee camp was set in the west of the city, covering an extremely wide area, Zhao Lie knew that there would be more than 100,000 Liao people through this to open up the Ezo land, so it was too small to settle, and the east of the city was set as the foot cavalry camp, which was also due to the fact that the east side of the open sea was close to Korea, the Japanese country, and the horse farm in the eastern hilly area, so the infantry camp was located on the east side to facilitate support.

Zhao Lie ordered Wanji to recruit people from Jeju City to build a refugee camp in the west of the city, which was very simple, that is, to build a wooden fence, build a passage in the camp, dig a nest and public toilets, and reserve a place for a school and garment factory, all of which will be built after the arrival of the refugee brigade. Today's work is simple, but the number is huge, this is nearly 100,000 volumes, so it is necessary to gather the courtiers, officials and slaves to work, and try their best to build it before the arrival of the refugees, so that the tired Liao people who have just gotten off the boat will not have nowhere to go, and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

This time, Wanji recruited the courtiers to take care of the food, and returned five coins of silver every day. As a result, of course, they went enthusiastically, and the Jeju Mansion in North Korea no longer exists, and the rice ruts of the official slaves who were attached to the Jeju Mansion in the past are gone, although there are only two small meals, but after all, they are just starving to death. To work here, the Ming man provides three full meals, although it is miscellaneous grains, but after all, he can eat enough, and there are five coins of silver, before the slaves and maids, farmers and peasants who served forced labor are all brought their own meals, where to find this good job. Wanji summoned more than 1,000 officials and slaves and hundreds of peasants in one day, and started work on the second day.

It is also impossible to give the people money money, if the Liao people come to have a full meal every day, there is half a tael of silver every month, the people of the court do not say anything, they will complain in private, it is very easy to deviate from morality, and be used by people with intentions, anyway, in the future, the number of Han people on the island will exceed the number of people, and only teach Chinese, so for decades, it will be assimilated, so Zhao Lie treats them all as people under his rule, and there is no need to favor one over the other.

There is no need to worry about the islander Zhao Lie, there are still a lot of things that make him troubled, especially the ranch problem.

Guan Ming, Han Jian's receipt arrived, the smooth capture of Dajing and XJTLU made Zhao Lie happy, and there were not many soldiers lost, which made Zhao Lie the most satisfied, but the content of the letter brought by the two parties at night was quarrelsome, Guan Ming scolded Han Jian, in short, he didn't run away from the merit of the friendly army, and Han Jian defended that in order to seize the whole island as soon as possible, the two sides quarreled all over the place.

Zhao Lie ordered the two to be punished for one month, Guan Ming's own strategic mistakes and reaped the consequences, Han Jian was not a big mistake, after all, it was to seize the whole island as soon as possible, but if he was not punished, Guan Ming would not care, he would eat the consequences, but he was afraid that the morale of the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command would be damaged. Zhao Lie realized the importance of balance at this time, so Han Jian was also unlucky.

The matter had just been dealt with, and the news that gave him the most headache at night came, and the document describing the actual situation of the Jeju Island Racecourse was transmitted by Li Lu and Gu Yan's Pegasus, and on the dim oil lamp, Zhao Lie finished reading the situation of the horse farm, and it turned out that Gu Yan took great pains to select 618 horses that were quite useful, among them, more than 230 stallions, more than 370 mares, all of them were three to eight years old, and their height was more than 1.20 meters, and there were more than 480 ponies before the age of two, and the other more than 21,000 were either thin and small, or old, in short, most of them are defective. As for how to deal with it, Gu Yan had no choice but to ask Zhao Lie to show him.

Damn, Zhao Lie scolded in his heart, no wonder that in history, North Korea fought against the Japanese slaves and Jiannu at the touch of a button, look at their war horses are really wonderful, in the era of cold weapons, only the infantry did not have cavalry and the elite cavalry of the strong enemy was a tragedy, and the Great Song Dynasty was the proof. North Korea's war horses are estimated to be a message, a police, otherwise useless, if it weren't for North Korea to buy some Mongolian horses in the north as war horses, I'm afraid the north would have been out of order.

Looking at the huge number of more than 20,000 horses, and their negligible effect, thinking about the manpower and material resources they consumed, it really gave Zhao Lie a headache. It's just that no matter what, we have to use the waste to help them find a way out and reduce the burden.

Zhao Lie thought about it and just came up with a strategy, and as for the specific implementation, he had to discuss it with the left and right.

Gu's letter was not full of bad news, and according to his estimates, there was no problem with raising 60,000 or 70,000 horses in the eastern part of the island in the hills and plains.

In other words, the horse farm that Zhao Lie has been looking for has finally been settled, after all, Shidao Horse Farm is the end of feeding thousands of horses, and it can only be kept in captivity, which is not conducive to maintaining the vitality of war horses and the ability to survive in the wild, it is just a place of transition.

The final location is the martyr's shrine, this is the place where the military soul is cast, and it is also the place where the people will pay tribute to the martyrs in the future, Zhao Lie will determine it in the southwest of the city five miles, covering an area of dozens of acres, the front is flat, the back is an upward gentle slope, the green mountains and green waters here are a good place.
