Chapter 280: The Slave Trade
So Yu Xiaotian patted his head and smiled: "Why didn't I think of this way?" That's a really good idea! At the moment, what we lack most is manpower, and spending money to buy people is also a good way!
We can do it ourselves, and we can also ask our peers to help us do it, and it doesn't matter where the people are, even if they get the people from Luzon to Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will still use it!
It works! Now that we control the Funing Prefecture side, Pang Sen and his group are forced to have no choice but to go to the sea in Zhejiang to do things.
And they don't dare to offend us, but they can notify them first, let them take the opportunity to make a small fortune, and also help us by the way! I'm sure they'd love to do it!
In addition, Guangdong can also invite some peers to do this together, it is estimated that it will not take three months, and we will be lively here! It is estimated that a batch of people will be transported within a month at the earliest, which is not bad! It works!
As for Mr. Lin's willingness to stay in Tamsui Village to help Mr. Lin, Yu is a little reluctant, after Mr. Lin's assistance, I, Yu, am really a little inseparable from Mr. Lin!
But if Mr. Lin insists on staying here for a while, I will not stop Mr. Lin, but Mr. Lin will sort out the civil affairs here as soon as possible, establish an effective management, and then return to me! ”
Next, a group of people sat together and discussed carefully, and finally decided on the matter of purchasing the population and Lin Yiyang's stay in Tamsui Village.
As for the side of Tamsui Village, because Yu Xiaotian did not have the idea of being the king of the land, it was not convenient to set up administrative divisions such as prefectures and counties here, so after discussing with Lin Yiyang, Tamsui Village would be renamed Tamsui City in the future, and the level would be similar to the county on land for the time being, with townships below and villages below the townships.
But the difference between here and on the land is that in the villages and villages, there are fewer large landlords at present, and the old immigrant villages in the past are mostly family systems and self-contained, but the villages composed of new immigrants are basically the village chiefs designated by the sea wolf, which is also the method proposed by Yu Xiaotian, a village has a village head, and the village head directly manages the villagers of the village, accepts the materials and tasks assigned by the sea wolf, persuades farmers in the village, and supervises the villagers to pioneer and cultivate.
At present, this village chief system is still effective, but sometimes there will be some problems in the choice of the village head, and individual village chiefs take advantage of the sea wolf to distribute materials, from which they can intercept and fill their pockets to meet their personal needs, which has caused some villagers to be dissatisfied, and there have been some things for this.
But on the whole, the implementation of the village chief system is more beneficial than disadvantageous for the sea wolf to control the immigrants in each village, so the village chief system has been retained for the time being, but Lin Yiyang proposed, everyone is not used to the title of village chief, Daming has always been the Li Jia system, which is convenient for the management of ordinary people, so the village chief may as well use the name of Li Zheng It is better, Yu Xiaotian doesn't mind this, anyway, as long as the sea wolf can effectively manage the immigrant village, as for whether it is called the village chief or Li Zheng, it doesn't matter, the immigrants here are not used to the title of the village chief, Then it will be renamed Lizheng.
As for the management at the township level, after the discussion of Yu Xiaotian and Fang An and others, the area around Tamsui is not too big now, so it will be divided into three townships for the time being, and a township head will be set up to be responsible for the management of those immigrant villages under its jurisdiction.
Moreover, this township chief is a completely absent-time position, and the sea wolf is in charge of his life, and he is paid a salary every month, so that he can spare more energy to manage the affairs of the township.
In addition, they have given the township chief considerable powers, in addition to the township chief to register the immigrants of the villages under his jurisdiction, the township chief can directly judge and deal with minor disputes between villages, and in the future, the collection of taxes will also be temporarily under the responsibility of the township chief.
But there is only one township chief, and he must not be able to play, so under the township chief, Yu Xiaotian proposed to arrange a few manpower for him to be mobilized, and he can usually help him run errands to deliver news, and when necessary, he can also help him deal with some chores.
In short, the township chief is quite important in this system, and is responsible for sharing a lot of things that the original Tamsui Village has to manage, so that the sea wolf can conveniently manage the affairs of each immigrant village through these township chiefs or lizheng.
And for Lin Yiyang's temporary identity of managing civil affairs here, everyone is a little embarrassed, it can't be called a county, even if Tamsui is renamed from the village to Tamsui City, but it can't be regarded as a county, if it is said to be a county, it will soon be known by the government on land, this is a crime of rebellion, even if the Fujian government turns a blind eye, once it reaches the Beijing Division, it is estimated that the officials in the capital will not do it.
If it is not done well, it will provoke the officials of the Beijing Division to force Fujian to send troops to suppress it, and then it will try to cause some unnecessary trouble.
So after thinking about it, Yu Xiaotian simply decided to temporarily call Lin Yiyang the head of civil affairs in Tamsui City, and take charge of civil affairs from Fang An, and in the future, he will have the final say in the civil affairs here, and if necessary, he can directly coordinate with Fang An.
And the relationship between Fang An and Lin Yiyang, it is also necessary to determine who is the main one, at the moment here is a big construction project, in addition to the situation that there is a conflict with the local natives during the expansion of the boundary, and finally Yu Xiaotian decided that Fang An is still the main here, supplemented by Lin Yiyang, although civil affairs are important, but other affairs are more important, so everything must be done first.
So here in Tamsui City, Yu Xiaotian still asked Fang An to take charge, and called Fang An the head of Tamsui City on the spot, which was different from Lin Yiyang, the head of civil affairs, but Lin Yiyang wanted to live under Fang An.
Lin Yiyang has no opinion on this, after all, he is a newcomer, the sea wolf is still a martial artist so far, and he has to rely on force to survive, and he is just a scholar, and his skills and prestige are much inferior to Fang An, so he is also very self-aware, and he does not fight with Fang An about who has the final say.
But Lin Yiyang privately believes that as long as Yu Xiaotian continues to develop like this, he will definitely form a civil and military faction in the future, and sooner or later he will have to be a civilian official in power, but so far, those who are in charge of civil affairs must also listen to these martial artists first, which is also inevitable, so he has no opinion and readily agreed.
After saying this, Yu Xiaotian talked about Meng Fei and Liu Tong about the new camp, and they had already arranged the specific things before they came, and then Meng Fei and Liu Tong only needed to cooperate to train batches of new camps.
But here, Yu Xiaotian specially instructed Meng Fei that if he was not here, Meng Fei would be controlled by Fang An, and once something happened, the new camp would obey Fang An, the head of Tamsui City, and be responsible for protecting the safety here.
In addition, Yu Xiaotian specially instructed Meng Fei that he was impulsive, he must listen to Liu Tong's thoughts more, and not make arbitrary claims, otherwise he would poke out a leak, and he would not be able to spare Meng Fei.
Meng Fei immediately got up and hugged his fists to receive the order, and Liu Tong also stood up and stood behind Meng Fei to receive the order.
In the next few days, Yu Xiaotian led his subordinates to visit the entire immigrant village near Tamsui Village, and personally calibrated the maps drawn by the people here before, redrew the places that were not detailed and accurate, and also inspected farther places to determine the location that the new immigrant village could choose and the land that could be reclaimed in the next step.
In addition, he also takes special care of the people here, especially pay attention to epidemic prevention, but everywhere people live, they must try to pay attention to hygiene.
This time, Yu Xiaotian also specially brought three Langzhong to the Tamsui Village with the ship, and also brought two Langzhong to the chicken coop village, these Langzhong have certain experience in preventing the plague, and Yu Xiaotian also followed a few Langzhong to privately exchange a lot of information about some of the epidemic prevention measures he knew in later generations, and after listening to these methods said by Yu Xiaotian, several Langzhong were also impressed by Xiaotian, and did not dare to treat Yu Xiaotian as a layman anymore.
Although Yu Xiaotian did not study medicine, he had also heard and seen a lot of things related to epidemic prevention, so he poured all his resources into these medical officers with the experience of epidemic prevention in later generations from hearsay, so that they could learn some useful things from it, and they would be able to use it if they didn't get it in the future.
Especially the kind of yellow artemisia that he began to send people to look for on land a year ago has now been found, and a lot of resources have been found, and even found on Taiyuan Island, so the sea wolf bought quite a lot of yellow artemisia at a very low price and transported it to Tamsui Village for storage.
In the future, these langs will use this yellow artemisia to try to prevent malaria, which is what the Chinese used to call miasma, which is also a key to whether the sea wolf can successfully gain a foothold here in the future, once the large-scale infectious disease of malaria can be controlled, the sea wolf can reduce very large losses.
But Yu Xiaotian also knew that he was not doing this, he just knew that Artemisia annua could extract drugs for the treatment of malaria, which was effective for the treatment of malaria, but how to prepare it or use medicine, he had only heard of the scales and half claws, and how to use the medicine to be effective, it would depend on the ability of these Langzhong.
Now God is still taking care of him, and there has been no serious outbreak of the plague during the period since he came to the island of Taiwan, so he hopes that after preparing in advance, even if there is a large outbreak of malaria in the future, he will be able to control the spread of this plague.
Yu Xiaotian believes that opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared, and he also believes that he has made various preparations for the future, and he believes that since Zheng Chenggong and the Dutch can gain a firm foothold on the island of Taiwan in history, then he can also do this.
