Chapter 213: Site Selection

When Luo Changshan asked for a meeting, it was also a headache for Wanji, who purchased grain and rice, established a reserve military service system, prepared agricultural leisure training, prepared food and salary for the northern and eastern captive armies, and totaled his military achievements, and at the same time selected a site for the town of Beihua. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

All kinds of things always keep Wan Ji and Gu Wuyue busy. Fortunately, the preparation for the establishment of Beihua Quanye Bank was undertaken by Bai Shidi, otherwise he would have been incompetent.

The storage of rice grain is related to the rations of the Liao people after the Thai half of next year, which used to be transported from Jeju, with a lot of losses and a lot of costs, this time, the harvest in Beihua, the purchased grain and rice are estimated to support the consumption of most of the next year, and this alone can save more than 20,000 taels of silver.

In addition, whether the rice grain is stored well or not is also related to the seeds of next year's spring ploughing, and it should not be careless, and now Gu Wuyue is in charge of this matter.

In addition to the above duties, Gu Wuyue is also responsible for controlling the reserve military service system and the establishment of village schools.

In the past two years, due to lack of financial resources and personnel shortages, the free admission school was not established, but this year the preparation for the establishment of the village school will be carried out in five years, and the cost will be allocated by Jeju for the first two years, and after two years, it will be solved by the tax revenue of Beihua.

Many people think that dancing with knives and guns is a matter of breaking the army, why do they have to act like this in the village, it is also a lot of trouble, and the establishment of the two systems in these hundreds of villages is a big trouble, which makes Gu Wuyue want to die.

His subordinates Wang Zheng, Luo Shan, Luo Dong and others were busy everywhere he supported.

The location and construction of the town here is also the key, and Zhao Lie knows that the economy is largely the economy of the city. The stability of agriculture only ensures that there is no chaos in the country. However, if it is not prosperous and strong, it is necessary for cities and towns to take the lead in becoming bigger and stronger. After all, commercial tax is the main body of national revenue, and commercial tax in some European countries is already the majority.

Fangmao Port is more than 20 miles west of the North China Plain, as a port is acceptable, as the political center of the North China Plain, its location is inappropriate, it is located in a corner, and in addition, it can only be reached from the plain into the hilly area of more than 20 miles, which makes the flow of people and materials extremely unsmooth.

If the town is on the plain. It is convenient and smooth to purchase grain, transport materials, and people to the town to do things and purchase, so Zhao Lie ordered Wan Ji to start selecting and building the town as soon as he arrived in Beihua.

As soon as Wanji arrived in Beihua, he arranged for people to explore the site, as a projected big city, it is impossible to have an abundant water source, and the site selection is on the Xinliao River and the Xinhun River.

After months of screening, a plain in the lower reaches of the Xinliao River was selected as the address of the town, and it was located in the middle reaches of the Xinliao River, in the central and western part of the North China Plain. It is more than 100 miles away from Fangmao Port, which is convenient to control the overall situation of the North China Plain. It is not far from Bangmao Port, which is the base of the city connected to Jeju.

At this point, the site selection is over.

The Liao people in the middle of Thailand have been settled, and only Jeju and Shidao still have tens of thousands of Liao people who have not arrived, so Wanji decided to start the construction of Huadu this winter, yes, Zhao Lie named this city Huadu.

Since the boundaries of this city have been cultivated by two villages, the villagers of the two villages will be moved to the newly developed area in the east, which involves a lot of trivial matters, and today Wanji, Bai Shidi and others discussed this.

"The villagers here offer to compensate them for the next three years, and the new location must be near the river." A short clerk said.

Half a month ago, Wan Ji sent a team of five officials and 20 soldiers to the two villages to discuss the relocation with the villagers. The official named Dai Mingli was one of them, and after nearly a week of negotiations, he brought back the villagers' conditions.

"What does this village chief eat, how did the villagers bring it, and it is really bold to dare to put forward so many conditions with the chief executive." Bai Shidi pouted and said, since he was responsible for establishing the military service system and the academy, he had seen a lot of villagers with such small stomachs and calculating pounds, but it was still rare for the village chief to be so powerless to control the whole village.

"Lord Wan, Lord Bai, their village chief was originally a guerrilla of Dongjiang Tieshan, named Lu Mingde, who had made meritorious contributions in Tieshan, Lord Gu once wanted him to help him, but Lu Mingde refused, or went to Beihua to develop Tuntian, so he became the village head, this condition was put forward by him, saying that it is not easy for the villagers to develop, and it can become a mature field next year after two years of hard work, and it is very difficult to move to a desolate place at this time, everything has to come from the beginning, and it is very difficult, so these conditions are proposed, Lu Mingde also said that these conditions are not too excessive, and they should be shared." Demingli said.

Oh, it's this lord, Wan Ji and Bai Shi's first pair of eyes, this Lu Mingde is a leading party in Zhao Lie's words, without him Tieshan would not have been taken down by the Broken Army so smoothly, and even more people died, and it took more time, Lu Mingde was still credited to the Broken Army, but he was also for self-preservation, after the war, so he couldn't return to Phi Island.

Because he should have caused the fall of Tieshan, he had no shame to see Jiangdong's father, and secondly, he was afraid that he would be held accountable if he went back, so he came to Jeju with the Broken Army.

According to Gu Wuyue's intention to let him help Gu Wuyue with errands, who knew that this Lu Mingde didn't want the old man in Phi Island to think that he had already been bought by the Broken Army as an internal response, so he rejected Gu Wuyue's intention and took his family to Beihua to develop acres.

It turned out to be this master, Bai Shidi pursed his lips stupidly, "The credit is not big, and the shelf is not small." ”

"Lord Zhao once said that we must compensate for the minimum requirements of the people, after all, the people are the foundation of our army, and only when the people are rich can our army have a solid foundation and be invincible." Wanji took a sip of tea and said.

Bai Shidi rolled his eyes, why didn't you mention it, saying this at the moment is really talking about people and talking nonsense.

"Dai Mingli, tell me how much compensation money you will give them." Bai Shidi asked.

"Lord Bai, according to each household fifty acres per mu per year one tael of silver, one household per year fifty taels of silver, three years of one hundred and fifty taels of silver, two villages a total of one hundred and twenty-three households, a total of eighteen thousand four hundred and fifty taels of silver, in addition to our consideration of moving them to the old land of the tribe, most of the other plains have owners, or they are far away from the official road, and the villagers are unwilling." Demingli replied.

"Then allocate the money and let them move out immediately, and the construction of the city must begin immediately, you must know that the lord is waiting for it." Wan Ji is a final word, the establishment of a town will be a long-term process, however, Wan Ji knows that Zhao Lie values this Beihua town, of course he wants to start construction as soon as possible.

"Lord Wan, we estimate that we will levy 10,000 young men this winter, and more than 10,000 young men and women will be levy next summer, and I am afraid that the Secretary for Administration will order the requisition." Bai Shidi said.

Wan Ji nodded, "In addition, you good students plan the process and try to reduce expenses as much as possible. "These young men are all paid a tael of silver a month, plus the cost of food, the consumption of equipment, the cost of horses, iron tools, and cement are all a lot of money, and we must be as frugal as possible.

Jeju's silver treasury supported the Broken Army's Shui Bu Army, the extremely expensive shipbuilding, and the bottomless pit of North China Exploration, the first Franc Ji treasure ship wealth has been exhausted, and now the second treasure ship wealth is also consumed.

Wan Ji knew that there would not be a third time, and Lord Zhao had already said that he still had to keep the sea trade route of the Francophiles, which was the long-term business in the future, so he could no longer consume the strength of the Francophiles, so all the expenses had to be carefully calculated.

Everyone agreed.

On the second day, Wan Ji met with Luo Changshan at the official office, they were all old acquaintances, and after greetings, Luo Changshan offered three thousand taels of silver.

"Lord Luo is really generous, this donation is the largest donation received by the Secretary for Administration of Beihua, however, the official still wants to know the intention of Lord Luo to deal with it, Luo Dong's money is not easy to take." Wanji laughed.

"Lord Wan laughed, I, Luo, have always followed Lord Zhao, where Lord Zhao goes, Luo will open up the business to where, I Hongtai has always been in business, and I never dare to cross the Lei Chi half a step." Luo Changshan said with a smile.

He knows very well that Lord Wan is a close confidant of Lord Zhao Lie, and he has always been in charge of the internal affairs of the Broken Army, and now the future of the Broken Army is on Beihua Island, so Lord Zhao sent Wan Ji here, which shows the status of Wan Ji in Lord Zhao's heart.

"Okay, why should the proprietor Luo tell him bluntly?" Wanji has a lot of things to do every day, so he doesn't plan to speculate around the bend.

"My lord, the villain brought in 800 Ming and Korean women this time, ranging from fifteen to thirty years old, but I don't know when the adults began to establish a marriage match." The meaning is very obvious, when is it allowed to negotiate with the young people about women's bride fees and other matters.

Wan Ji is also scratching his head, Lord Zhao is the most disgusted with human trafficking, and everywhere he goes, he bans official slaves and private slaves, but this time, there are too many young and strong people in Beihua Island who are alone, so that Lord Zhao has no choice but to choose this method, as an adult's subordinate, of course, he is specifically handling this matter.

Wan Ji thought for a while, "Lord Luo, in recent days, this official has sent someone to plan this matter, and set up a courtyard as the location of the marriage match, you can send someone there to listen to the letter when the time comes." The official also hopes that this matter will be carried out as soon as possible, and there are not too many young people on Beihua Island who have not married. Wanji also shook his head helplessly, this is already the biggest problem in Beihua Island.

"Thank you, little man," Luo Changshan's face trembled, "Besides, my lord, after all, the local people have a short time to develop, and there is not enough money, so I don't know if the Beihua Bank will lend money to marry the people." ”

"This is the real purpose of your trip," Wan Ji smiled and pointed at Luo Changshan.

"My lord, what the little one said is also the truth of Beihua, many people have their own or their sons and nephews to marry, but most of them are shy in their pockets, I am afraid that it will take two or three years to accumulate money and food, however, it will be delayed for several years, so the Beihua Bank can lend to solve the difficulties of the people, and the two can also reap their benefits, why not do it." Luo Changshan said with a smile.

"The official can only ask the bank to lend money in the name of development, seed preparation, and housing construction, and nothing else can be done." Wanji said that human trafficking cannot be used on paper under any pretext.

"That's good, that's good. Only in this way can we let more women join the marriage, after all, there is a huge gap for women in Beihua Island, and if we and other businessmen pay money in advance, I am afraid that no one will support it. Luo Changshan bowed and thanked him. (To be continued.) )
