Chapter 58 Migration Question 2
But the price of the Ming people purchased will be relatively high, and Yu Xiaotian does not intend to let them be slaves for a lifetime, for these slaves taken from the Ming Dynasty, he is placed according to the identity of slaves, young and strong men are mainly gathered together, do some rough work, but not hard labor, such as working in the brick kiln and construction site exclusive to the sea wolf, doing some rough work.
And women are mostly placed in the garment factory garment workshop, to use as female workers, and not as sex slaves to use, the ancients women are good at being women's red, sewing clothes for them, naturally is not a problem, and there are a lot of white rattan on the island of Taiwan, these rattans used to be useless, but now the sea wolf got a few rattan craftsmen, and then these rattan are used, not only for the sea wolf people to weave some rattan helmets, but also into some rattan chairs and the like.
And these things belong to light industrial products, in the past, there were few such large-scale workshops on land that used women to work, and women were careful and ingenious, and they had natural advantages in this regard, and the products produced were not only for the sea wolf's own use, but also some of them could be sold directly to immigrants locally, and even the best products could be sold on land, as for the future of these women, the women of school age among them would be assigned to the sea wolf tribe as wives.
When the sea wolf opened up the freshwater and chicken coop on the island of Taiwan, he did not allocate all the wasteland to the immigrants, but left a considerable part of the land suitable for reclamation and the situation was relatively good, as their own exclusive land, to put it bluntly, even if it was the official land of the sea wolf, it was cultivated by the purchased slaves, so that the grain that could be harvested could directly enrich the granary of the sea wolf for the sea wolf to eat.
In addition, not all farms are farmed, and there are also livestock farms, which specialize in raising pigs, sheep and cattle, and even captive deer, as well as chicken and duck breeding.
In order to prevent the epidemic, when Yu Xiaotian ordered the immigrants to level the land, a large number of wetlands should be filled in to reduce mosquito breeding and change the environment.
However, there are still many small rivers and ditches because of flowing water, which are usually used for drainage and irrigation, and these living water are of good quality, and there are not many mosquitoes breeding, which can be used to raise ducks.
Now Yu Xiaotian is impossible to open a chicken farm with centralized breeding like later generations, because there is no vaccine and veterinary drugs, high-density breeding is simply unrealistic, so he can only adopt a free-range method, and the chickens and ducks raised are all grown up eating natural food, which tastes delicious, and can provide some chicken and duck meat to the sea wolf people to improve their lives, and can also lay eggs for the sea wolf people to eat.
Nowadays, the area of the farm left by the sea wolf has been as much as tens of thousands of hectares, more rice is planted, some wheat and corn are planted in some dry land, and sweet potatoes are planted in some not very good land, and there are hundreds of slaves working in the farm, and the grain produced in the first year is at least more than 30% of the food needs of the sea wolf, and this is not cooked land, and after two years of maturity, the yield will be higher and higher.
In addition, the food produced by the immigrants, the sea wolf buys a part, which can almost make up for the food gap that the sea wolf needs, even if there is a gap, it is not much different, and the sea wolf will at least eat in the future, no longer rely on all the land purchases, in addition to leaving a lot of funds, but also to ensure the safety of the sea wolf's food.
As for children, some slaves were sold with their parents, and these children could continue to stay with their parents and be cared for by their parents, but many were separated from their parents, or their parents were simply killed, so these children were put together and sent to special women to take care of their lives.
In addition, children in this era are by no means like the children of later generations, they cannot take care of themselves at all, and children at the age of four or five start to work at home, to take their little brothers and sisters, and to follow them to the field, do what they can, and often go to the grass to feed the pigs or pick up manure and fertilizer.
Therefore, it is very easy to take care of these orphans, as long as they learn the rules, they basically do not need to take care of them, and it is enough to have food and clothing.
Moreover, Yu Xiaotian also took out some literate people from the people who were not rich in money to illiteracy these children, so that they could learn literacy and simple arithmetic, and they would spend half a day during the day to go to various factories to do some simple things, and then learn some crafts, and when they grow up, they will become craftsmen or professional workers.
After one to two years of education, Yu Xiaotian decided to select them into the Seawolf's sailors and barracks in the future to become Seawolf's soldiers, and then train them according to non-commissioned officers or officers, gradually making them the backbone members of the Seawolf military system and ensuring the loyalty of the Seawolf army.
Therefore, for these purchased slaves, the sea wolf must make the best use of them and will not waste them easily.
However, some pirates in Guangxi and Guangdong brought some Southeast Asian natives to the sea wolves, including both Luzon natives and Vietnamese, in the eyes of the pirates, these natives were useless before, but now they heard that the sea wolves wanted to buy slaves, and they also specified that they wanted these natives, so these natives who had not been paid attention to became their targets.
The pirates then went to a place they were familiar with, and either they swept away some of the indigenous tribes by force, killing the old and the weak, and loading the remaining young men and women onto ships and transporting them to Nanri Island to be handed over to the sea wolves.
For these black-skinned monkeys in Southeast Asia, of course Yu Xiaotian will not be polite, some young women directly reward the meritorious sea wolf tribe as slaves and concubines, or as wives, and some beautiful ones are filled into prostitutes to meet the physiological needs of the single men in the sea wolf tribe.
As for those young and strong men, they were directly incorporated into the hard labor camp, and Yu Xiaotian waved his pen on this, and the order was to die by labor! Extract their labor force as much as possible, and these black-skinned monkeys are far less diligent and hard-working than the Chinese, it can be said that they are lazy and stupid, but when they arrive at the sea wolf's hard labor camp, they can't help but be lazy, the overseers of the hard labor camp are some sea wolf scum-level characters, the hands are black and ruthless, the leather whip stick will naturally teach them what is called diligence, plus hungry education, this gang of black monkeys is still very capable!
Of course, there are also pirates in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and there are some Japanese or Korean doorways, and some Koreans and Japanese have been brought in, and these beautiful women are picked out and sent directly to the brothels secretly opened by the Lu Hai Wolf Council Hall, and used as prostitutes, which are actually very popular with some men on the land.
As for the rest of the men, they were also assigned to work in the hard labor camps, especially those who were treated with strict discipline, and let them do the hardest and most tiring work, and they were tired and pulled down!
Therefore, with the increase in the number of slaves who were continuously sold, the sea wolf's demand for manpower was temporarily alleviated, and the speed of various projects was also greatly accelerated after being guaranteed by sufficient manpower.
This makes Yu Xiaotian finally breathe a sigh of relief, the current situation of the entire Tamsui Village is to be prosperous, a thriving scene, the land area of reclamation continues to advance in all directions, making the landform here two years ago has changed at this time and is almost unrecognizable.
Migrant villages have sprung up on the land, and many workshops have sprung up around Tamsui City.
Taking advantage of this opportunity to inspect the industrial development of Tamsui City, Yu Xiaotian decided to take a look at the agricultural development here by the way, and inspect the migrant villages and farmland here, so he took some of his subordinates and left Tamsui City and walked towards the surrounding migrant villages.
Walking on the road to the migrant village, Yu Xiaotian's mood was not as relaxed as when he first came to the workshop area and the shipyard.
Although he has always thought that he has attached great importance to agricultural matters, but walking on the road here today, he found that in fact, in the past two years, he has really paid attention to the industrial aspect, especially those military products, and for the agricultural aspect, he has only given policies and instructions, but he has not really bent down to come and planned agricultural things.
Last year, he transferred Lin Yiyang here and served as the civil affairs manager of Tamsui City for half a year, Lin Yiyang did a lot of things, first of all, he established a sound management here, verified and registered every immigrant living here, and included it in the management of the sea wolf.
And set up administrative management at all levels from the city to the village, selected officials to set up a management system, and built an administrative structure, so that the sea wolf can effectively manage these immigrant villages and even immigrants, and in the aspect of persuading farmers, a lot of work has also been done, so that the affairs of immigrants have entered a more reasonable track, and gradually advanced.
In order to better reclaim and expand more farmland as soon as possible, Lin Yiyang also established a reward and punishment system here, giving rewards to families and migrant villages who work hard and cultivate finely, and punish the migrant villages that are unfavorable to Kentuo, increase their food endowment, and even dispose of a group of lazy, cheating and slippery, and even not at ease farming. He was sent to a labor camp to serve hard labor.
With Lin Yiyang's efforts, the scale of agricultural reclamation in the area of Tamsui City has expanded rapidly, and the management of migrant villages has also been strengthened, for which Yu Xiaotian affirmed Lin Yiyang's efforts.
