342. Subsidies

"The first batch of 6,478 people from Qingzhou have all gone through the naturalization procedures at the household registration department, and now they have been brought back to the new village built last year by the assigned village chief."

Taishou House.

Hu Qi, who had a pair of silver-framed eyes on the bridge of his nose, was processing the official document in his hand, and on the side, his secretary was reporting to him the situation of the Qingzhou people who came today.

"Well, all kinds of policy support will be distributed when they arrive in the new village, and the number of farm tools, seeds, livestock, chickens, ducks and geese will be set at the beginning."

"At the same time, I would like to tell the newly appointed village chiefs that the cattle, horses, and other livestock that reclaim the fields must be taken care of, and now that the end of autumn is about to enter winter, next year, the villages will definitely have a lot of agricultural work to accumulate, and without those livestock, the cultivation of the fields will have to add a lot of work."

Hu Qi sucked a tube of ink in the inkwell, then reassembled the pen that had just been disassembled, signed his name under an official document, and stamped it with the seal of Taishou.

As the Taishou of Jianyin County, Hu Qi was in charge of the official affairs of the entire Yinzhou, and due to the population problem, their people who immigrated to Yinzhou in the early stage could only move around Jianyin County.

But now it's fine.

From the letter from Liaodi, he knew that there were millions of people in Qingzhou waiting to be absorbed by Sanzhou, and he was naturally thinking about these populations.

In the past two years, Yinzhou has begun to take shape under his planning.

The gold and silver smelting industry is the first under Zhang Qi.

Since the end of last year, when they asked Zhang Qi to bring blast furnace technology to Yinzhou, it is only August and September that the iron-smelting plant they established in Jianyin County has started the mode of blasting iron.

Since last month, the monthly steel production of Kaningun has exceeded 3,000 tons, which doesn't sound like much.

But this is steel, not wrought iron.

The steel output of Jianyin County is enough to be comparable to the entire Han Dynasty.

And as the smelter workers become more proficient, there will certainly be an explosion on top of this output.

In addition to industry, food is also one of the tasks of Silver State.

In other words, no matter what state he is in, Zhang Qi's first priority is food.

Although there is still a surplus in the current population of Zhang Qi in the Northeast region alone, from beginning to end, Zhang Qi has been staring at tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty.

It's not enough to just produce a liao land.

There is also a need for more arable area, livestock farming, and marine fish fishing.

What Yinzhou and Lezhou are responsible for is the sea fishing industry.

They have a natural advantage in terms of topography.

The number of fish caught in a Hokkaido fishery alone, as long as the shipping industry can support it, it is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people, and although Yinzhou has many mountains and flat land, it is not impossible to grow things, and the sweet potatoes and potatoes sent from Liaoning are very suitable for mountain planting, which can be regarded as a little achievement in farming.

Hu Qi stopped the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose, and soothed his eyes.

"The geographers haven't come back yet? I don't know if there is a plain terrain suitable for large-scale cultivation in Yinzhou, and if there is, I would like to turn this place into a big granary. ”

Hu Qi said softly.

As a person who came out of the kingdom of God like Hu Ling, he also has the pride of belonging to that group of people in his heart.

Either don't do it, or do it best.

If he could, he hoped that he could develop Yinzhou into a very important area for his monarchy, with industry, farming, sea fishing, and the troika running in parallel.

"Not yet, but I think it's soon, they left in February, and now it's September and October, and it's time to come back."

At another desk beside Hu Qi, his secretary said.

"Well, hopefully."

Nodding, Hu Qi put on his glasses and continued to work.

——

"Alright, it's the place! Let's get out of the car. ”

Seeing that forty miles outside Yincheng, the young village chief Zhao Ji jumped out of the large passenger carriage and beckoned his villagers to get off with a smile on his face.

After all, Jianyin County is responsible for the mining and refining of gold and silver, and the transportation is very dependent, so since the problem of food and accommodation for immigrants has been solved, Hu Qi has recruited a large number of workers to build roads.

After all, there were Japanese slaves in mining ore, and the tiring but safe drudgery of building roads was handed over to the immigrants who came with him, which was also a way to increase his income.

The large passenger carriage is not small, and there is no problem in carrying thirty people at a time.

The drivers of this kind of carriage were all Han military chariots that had been recruited on the battlefield before, and some of them chose to quit the army because they were tired of the war, and some chose to quit the army because of physical reasons.

But it would be a waste to let them not use it, so Zhang Qi simply designed this kind of public transportation vehicle, so that these veterans can also have a livelihood after leaving the army.

A car needs twelve horses to pull together, in terms of scale, this has already usurped the emperor's honor guard, but this is not the Han Dynasty, Zhang Qi does not care much about the so-called honor guard.

Want to be stylish?

Lao Tzu directly opened the way with the locomotive!

Who can be more magnificent than the Iron Behemoth?

In total, more than twenty such carriages came.

From seeing the silver city, they walked for a day.

It's not fast, but it's easy.

The doors were pulled open.

The people of Qingzhou who sat in the car all day are still reminiscing about the charm of the car, and in the Han Dynasty, those who can ride the carriage are not ordinary people.

How could they not be excited at the thought of having such treatment.

Twenty horse-drawn carriages stopped steadily at the entrance of the village, and the plaque made of logs and planks was written in regular script with the four big characters of Muye Village.

As the name suggests, the village is rich in timber.

All the people were gathered together by Zhao Ji at the entrance of the village.

He smiled and gestured to the village behind him.

"In the future, everyone will settle in Muye Village, our village is not large, only 400 households, you are the first batch of villagers to come here, you can give priority to the house you want to settle in, and it will be your home in the future."

"In the household registration department, the household registration attendants explained to everyone very clearly, each household is granted ten acres of fertile land, and the acres are not far from the village, and they are all tired today, and I will take you to claim them one by one tomorrow."

"In addition, as a subsidy for immigrants, the Taishou Mansion has also prepared what the subsidy should have."

"Each household has a set of farm tools, including hoes, sickles, and the like."

"Seeds, one hundred and twenty catties per household, are enough for the sowing of ten acres of fields."

"There are three pairs of chickens, ducks and geese in each household, and those who want to breed and eat all kinds of eggs every day can come to me to receive the breeding, and if they don't want to bear the cost of feed, they can also explain to me that the Taishou Mansion will pay you money according to one-third of the market price of chickens, ducks and geese."
