Chapter 290: Marching into the Northeast
Because when Jiang Chuan and others confronted each other near the Tongmen River, it was already the month of La, so when Wang Ze announced the good news of the new discovery of two large iron mines, it was already around the New Year.
After this good news was announced, although some foreign businessmen who were ready to make a fortune in the East China Sea lost a lot of money, the atmosphere of the entire East China Sea was ignited at once.
The people were encouraged because they could buy high-quality steel products at a small price in the future, and the mechanical parts of various workshops would not be expensive because of the lack of steel, and even the house at home could be fixed with a few more big iron nails.
And the tension between the civil officials and military generals in the entire East China Sea has also eased all of a sudden, and now everyone no longer has to fight for a little limited resources to fight for the hurt and anger, and all of a sudden, many of the originally aggressive military generals began to apologize in private to their colleagues who had conflicts in the past.
And the civil officials forgave these basically brainless guys because of the good mood of discovering the big iron mine, and the reason why the civil officials are happy is also very simple, because it means that the economy of the East China Sea finally does not have to be pinched by others.
In this mood, the people of the counties of the East China Sea spontaneously held various celebrations, and various social fire activities were held, which became more and more lively in conjunction with the New Year festival of the entire East China Sea.
When the time came to the sixth day of the new year, the East China Sea Left-behind Prefecture and the county guards jointly issued an announcement on the immigration development of the Beji Land by the little marquis, and announced that the people of the East China Sea counties were allowed to freely sign up for immigration, and the atmosphere of the entire East China Sea became even higher.
Before the people migrated, the official migration activities had already begun, after all, the thirst for iron in the East China Sea was too urgent, and smelting a large amount of iron one day earlier could also alleviate the tension of iron in the East China Sea one day earlier.
For the smooth development of the iron mine, Cao An's eldest brother Cao Lei, that is, the eldest son of Cao Blacksmith, this young man who has been in charge of the military workshops on Jeju Island and Qinjin Island, will take the entire Jeju Island military workshop and the local iron workshop to move to a newly discovered iron mine on the north bank of the Tongdong River.
This place was called Maozi Gongqingcheng in later generations, and now it will be an important city in one of the most important arsenals and metallurgical bases of Wang Zexia Kingdom in the next few decades and hundreds of years, and because it is mainly a metallurgical city and an ordnance workshop weapons manufacturing center, it has a very iron-blooded name - Sword Casting City.
This city, which is still in planning, will be presided over by the apprentice of Carpenter Tan who came with Cao Lei, and with the mining of iron ore, the city here will also start to be built, and it can be regarded as the first city to start construction.
In addition to the sword city, another place where the new large iron ore was discovered was the later Boli, that is, Khabarovsk in Maozi's mouth, which was named Sanjiang City because it was located at the confluence of the Tongtong River and the Ussuri River.
Wang Ze attached so much importance to the future development of Sword Casting City and Sanjiang City, so in order to protect these two places that were very important to him and even the entire East China Sea, he added a city at the confluence of the Songhua River and the Heilongjiang River in later generations, and named it Zhenjiang.
In fact, this city does not have much function, it is currently mainly an outpost on the upper reaches of the Tongtong River, and the military significance is also greater, and I don't know what the city that is still called Jingkou will think in the future.
Originally, Wang Ze's plan was only to build these cities, but after Yang Ku later proposed the necessity of building Zhenhai and the development of the Tongtong River basin at the same time, Wang Ze had to consider how to link the construction of Zhenhai with the construction of the Mingtong River basin.
After some consideration, and Zhao Qin's strong suggestion, he contacted the golden waterway of Zhenhai Bibo Lake (Xingkai Lake) and the Ussuri River in the Mingtong River Basin, and then came into Wang Ze's sight, and successively built two small cities in the south of Xingkai Lake and the right bank between it and Sanjiang City.
Among them, the city not far from the south of Xingkai Lake has a name that makes Wang Ze cry and laugh because of Zhao Qin's suggestion - Hunan City, and the city on the right bank of Zhenbao Island in the later generations of the Ussuri River is very popular and is called Linzhou, because the forest here is indeed very dense.
In addition to the construction of inland waterway shipping connecting the two places, in order to strengthen the maritime connection between Zhenhai and Jiangkou City, two port cities that were not too large were added to the coastline that was originally thousands of miles away from the two places without a single port.
One is the Soviet Port of Maozi in later generations, but now it has been called Huapu City, and the other is the newly built port city, called Qixia City, these two places are relatively remote, so the number of people planned is not large.
With so many planned cities to be built at once, it does not mean that Wang Ze will relocate all the people of the East China Sea to the mainland in the future, except for Sanjiang City and Zhenhai City, as well as the three cities of Jiangkou City, which are all 50,000 or 60,000 cities, the other cities are built according to the standard of 20,000 people.
Wang Ze plans to use five years to carry out preliminary construction of these places, so that after five years, he will have a general foundation in the northeast region, and then carry out comprehensive resettlement and development himself. 2018
After all, even the primeval forests in the north have many unknown poisons and other threats, Wang Ze would rather walk slower, slower, anyway, he is still very young now, even if he uses it for ten more years, he doesn't have to be afraid of running out of time.
In the face of Wang Ze's immigration notice, many Han people in the East China Sea are not ready to move again, although this time the policy of the little marquis is also very favorable, but the relocation of the land has been the characteristic of the Han people since ancient times, and the reason why they were willing to come here from the land of Sanqi was because they had nothing to follow to the East China Sea.
After coming to the East China Sea, they not only got enough land to cultivate and graze, but also had enough fish, meat, poultry and eggs to eat every day, and they could eat meat every ten days, and they could also slaughter a few chickens and ducks for tooth sacrifice every holiday.
These were all over the past three places, they didn't dare to imagine, it would be good to be able to eat enough at that time, not to mention that now after being rich, there are even young prisons to pay tribute to the ancestors during the New Year.
In addition to the affluence of their own lives, the children have been provided with food, fish and meat subsidies by the government since they were born, and when the age of subsidy has passed, they have reached the age of free schooling, not only free school, but also free food and clothing, which is simply the heaven that the Taoists of the Haotian God Sect say is nothing more than that.
Some gentlemen who have read the books of sages and sages say that this is not so beneficial in the Datong society that Confucius, Mencius and other sages said in ancient times, so this proves that the little marquis is the person who wants to be the holy king, but the person of destiny, so many people in the East China Sea are very satisfied with the current life.
In addition to these, now the construction of the counties in the East China Sea has been on the right track, and the basic public facilities such as schools at all levels have also entered the formal and very perfect, for many families with children at home, everything is so good in the East China Sea.
Comparatively speaking, the newly developed Beji land has better policies, but it is not enough for families with children to go to school.
In addition to the lack of schools, there are also auxiliary medical care and other aspects that are not on the right track, so these older Han people who are more satisfied with their current lives are not ready to participate in this migration again.
However, these people are not ready to go, there are still many people in the East China Sea who are ready to go, and this part of the people who are ready to emigrate, a small part of them are some people who have retired from the army, but they always miss the youth of the military life in the past, if they go to the newly developed place this time, they must fight with the natives, so they like it very much.
As for the most, a large part of the young people who have just arrived from the land of Sanqi, because these young people have come to the East China Sea for a relatively short time, so the land allocated is only the most basic per capita land area, compared with the old immigrants who have joined the army and received a large amount of land, the life of these new young and strong families is relatively hard.
These newcomers to the East China Sea were very envious of their previous deeds of participating in a series of raids on the Wa Kingdom, Baekje and Silla, and when they heard that the little marquis had offered each of the people who had moved to the land of Beji to offer 100 mu of land, which was double the amount of land promised to move to the East China Sea, this was a great temptation for the newcomers.
There are even some teenagers who are gradually growing up who want to sign up, most of them are children born when they were in the cottage of Changguang County in Sanqi, but for this part of the teenagers, Wang Ze simply refused, these people are basically the eldest sons of each family, so if they follow, the impact will be too great.
Soon these unlucky children were brought back by the parents of each family, and Wang Ze could only express his sympathy for the tragic experience of these children.
It's just that these teenagers have intervened, Wang Ze has also begun to think about some future social trends in the East China Sea, if these newborns in the East China Sea grow up in another ten years, there will still be many problems, especially because of a series of problems arising from the inheritance of the elderly.
Because many Han soldiers had a large number of foreign women in battle, and some of them were women of different races who took the initiative to come to the East China Sea, because of Wang Ze's protection of these women, they all married Han people as free people of naturalized people.
The vast majority of these Han people have Han wives, so almost every family has seven or eight children to this day, and some families even have more children, and when these children grow up, they will face the problem of competition for family property.
It is necessary to consider this kind of thing as early as possible, otherwise if a series of problems caused by the time are not handled well, it will cause great problems, and may even cause a split in the social structure.
In particular, the proportion of children under the age of 10 among the more than 1.5 million people under the rule of the East China Sea is increasing at an alarming rate, and this problem will continue to increase in the future.
Just when Wang Ze was finally relieved of the development of the East China Sea, with the guarantee of a large iron mine, and the population of the East China Sea had broken through to 1.5 million, Wang Ze suddenly received a letter from his father Wang Yong, saying that there was something important waiting for Wang Ze to go back and get an idea.
