Shen Qingqian quickly dressed up and went out.

It wasn't cool outside at night, and the two didn't go out, but were talking at home.

"I've figured out what to do with those foreigners." Sheng Ze opened his mouth and said.

Shen Qingqian held the teacup in his hand and raised his eyes to look at him, "You mean those people you caught that day?" ”

"No," Sheng Ze shook his head, "It's the hundreds of thousands of people outside the gate." ”

Shen Qingqian: "...... What do you want to do? ”

"Northern Hubei is the time to employ people, instead of exterminating all those people, it is better to capture them, and then pick out people with various skills, first treat them with a slightly worse treatment than the captives and ordinary people, and then allow them to marry and integrate with the people of Ezhou......"

Sheng Ze narrated his thoughts, and as he spoke, he wrote down the key points on the paper.

He didn't want to divide people into three, six, nine and so on, but two forces that had been hostile for many years, and this process was necessary if they wanted to be completely integrated.

Shen Qingqian nodded frequently when she heard this, she already understood what Sheng Ze wanted to do.

She can say without exaggeration that in another three years, with the popularization of various high-yield crops, Ezhou will only become more and more short of people, and on the basis of today, it is not difficult to feed another 500,000 people.

The productive forces determine the relations of production, and the relations of production react on the productive forces, coupled with the continuous promotion of basic industries by Qin Lao and others, the society will slowly develop.

Now there is another factor in their favor, and that is the natural environment.

There is no divine spring in other places, and there is a severe shortage of water, but Hubei can take advantage of this opportunity to work hard, and when the drought is over, Sheng Ze can start to prepare to get back what belongs to him.

In just a moment, Shen Qingqian had already turned countless thoughts in her heart, and when Sheng Ze finished speaking, she immediately nodded and said, "Your idea is theoretically feasible, but the supervision of these people is a big problem, have you thought about it?" ”

"Well, we can't gather them together, there are 80 county towns in Ezhou, we just need to disperse these people into these 80 county towns, manage them in a unified manner, and let them contribute in the form of forced labor and handymen, and they will not be able to turn over the storm." Sheng Ze pondered.

The specific implementation of this has to be discussed with Zheng Shicheng and Zhang Zhiyao.

Shen Qingqian thought for a while and said, "This is a long process, and it will take at least ten years to achieve your goal. ”

"I understand, but even if they can be used for a while, it is good, at least it can solve the dilemma of the shortage of people in Ezhou now." Sheng Ze nodded, according to Shen Qingqian's world, what Ezhou lacks now is actually labor.

If there is a shortage of labor in her world, the local government will go to a crowded place with a high salary to poach people, and now the group of people outside the customs will send them to the door by themselves, and it is easy to beat them, but it is difficult for them to contribute to the construction of Ezhou.

But Sheng Ze firmly believes that the group of guerrillas is definitely not as united as it seems on the surface, and when the time comes, he only needs to make good use of the "role model".

Let those people see that as long as they really live in Ezhou, they can live like ordinary people, and he believes that more than half of them will not think crookedly.

"Okay, I'll pick someone with special skills for you first, for example, there were a few people in the dungeon before who came from places that were good at shipbuilding, not your usual ship, but another big ship that could fight." Shen Qingqian thought about it.

If you can come to Dajin from such a long distance, the shipbuilding technology will definitely not be able to run. And what the Northern Hubei Army needs most is actually a water war, which is naturally inseparable from warships.
