Chapter 39 Close the door and lock the door
The immigration matter needs to be solved by one city and one city. There are 37 counties in Nanyang. If there are countless villages in the scattered fields, there are countless. Even the Luoyang plague has bought Ye Zhao for more than two months. Ye Zhao has only migrated the population east of Wancheng. Wancheng has heavy troops to guard. Although it is intimidated by Ye Zhao's fierce power and dare not come out to make trouble, it will not flee to Ye Zhao like other cities.
而叶昭,也没准备在南阳开战,他的迁徙方式要比董卓温和一些,也因此,注定速度无法如董卓那般神速.
However, Xu Rong and others had already taken their positions. Under Ye Zhao's order, they set up a route west of Wancheng to migrate the people, which accelerated the migration speed a lot. Xi Zhicai also brought Xiahou Lan to be responsible for the dispatch, so that Ye Zhao could completely free up his hands. Therefore, when Yuan Shu rushed back with his troops when he heard the news, he was hit by Ye Zhao in Duyang. The remaining troops were almost wiped out by Ye Zhao. He fled to Runan in a mess, preparing to reorganize the drums and deal with Ye Zhao again. But when he reorganized his troops and led his troops back, Ye Zhao might have returned to Hanzhong.
This migration lasted from early July to late October, and was initially completed. What remains were some people who spontaneously wanted to come to Hanzhong to develop, or saw most people moving to Hanzhong, following the crowds of people. Since Ye Zhao was not ready to go to Nanyang for the time being, he naturally could not stay here forever, so he could only let them come by themselves.
当叶昭抵达汉中时,已经是十一月中旬了,正赶上汉中今年的第一场大雪.
"According to statistics from various places, so far, the people who moved to Hanzhong from Nanyang have been about 197,000 households, with a total population of more than 630,000. According to the lord's plan, all of these people are arranged in newly built farms, with 5,000 acres per farm, with 500 households per farm, and each household is divided into ten acres of land. In the past two years, 300 new villages will be added to Hanzhong, and 150,000 households can be resettled. Within three years, the fields will be cultivated according to the lord's farming method, and 30% of the harvest will be paid every year. After three years, these newly built houses will be owned by these people. After three years, the tax will be reduced to 20%. The people are very supportive of this order. The remaining 47,000 households will be accepted by the original cities in Hanzhong. The government will temporarily open warehouses and provide relief. After the spring of the next year, they will be resettled."
In Nanzheng, the prefect's mansion, Man Chong did not read the books and reported to Ye Zhao some basic situations in Hanzhong today: "In addition, Hanzhong originally had a household registration of 11,326 households, with a population of 372,135. In the past two years, the people of Nanyang and the families of soldiers who moved from Henoi, totaling 14,107 households, 43,633, totaling 415,768. If the people of Nanyang who migrated this time, the population of the seven counties in Hanzhong has exceeded one million. In addition, 300 Xinzhuang will be resettled, which requires 1.5 million mu of land. In addition, the new fields that were reclaimed in the previous two years can barely be resettled, but the remaining 47,000 households will be difficult to resettle the land next year."
叶昭看向戏志才笑道:“当年幸得伯宁来投,否则如此人才,便要失之交臂也!”
"It was also the craftsmanship led by the lord. If it weren't for the manure and cement they made, just food and shelter would be enough to make us lose our heads." Xi Zhicai said with a smile.
Manure and cement. Before Ye Zhao became an official, he had already summoned masons and old farmers to look good. Now, it has been more than ten years since the manure has been tested and has been promoted in Hanzhong, which can greatly increase grain output. As for cement, it is not necessary to say that in two years, three hundred new villages were able to be built, thanks to the cement.
"Mr. Xi said nothing badly." Man Chong bowed and said, "No need to say about manure, the cement is also quite magical, which can save ten times of time and expenses. Now all dangerous passes have begun to be reinforced with cement. I am planning to call craftsmen next year to pave roads between cities and villages in Hanzhong. If it can be achieved, only one county in Hanzhong can compete with a state!"
At the end, Man Chong's eyes flashed with excitement. It was a light that could only be achieved by learning to display and find direction. Although Hanzhong is not big, it has something that is not found elsewhere. As for what it is, Man Chong couldn't say.
"It just so requires a large number of manpower, so the 47,000 immigrants can be hired first." Ye Zhao said with a smile. In fact, he wanted to invest more people into this construction. Except for the plain area in the middle, the rest of Hanzhong is surrounded by mountains. The terrain here is somewhat similar to Shuzhong, and they are all basins. However, the Hanzhong Plain is not as vast as the Shuzhong Plain.
Although the optimal ratio of manure has not been developed yet, it is enough to solve the problem of eating. In other words, after the fields in Hanzhong are applied with manure, they can fully support the million people and have a surplus, so there is no need for so many people to farm.
As grain output increases, the next step is naturally to liberate more labor to invest in other industries, such as handicrafts, reading, construction, and even grazing. It is not only grassland that can develop animal husbandry.
In short, in this era when materials are barren but rich enough, as long as you have ideas, you don’t have to just limit your attention to the fields if you want to get rich.
It is good for people to regard food as the most important thing, but under the premise that food is sufficient, we should naturally pursue other aspects of development. Previously, the Han Dynasty may have pushed forward to the pre-Qin, Spring and Autumn Period, Warring States Period and even longer periods, and it has been impossible to develop industries other than agriculture. The most important point is food restrictions. Now that the food problem has been solved, we can naturally invest in other aspects.
But it is too early to say this now. The grain production will need to be raised next year. With enough factual basis, it will be more convincing to promote other industries.
Today's Hanzhong may not be the most correct choice for Ye Zhao, but it is undoubtedly the best choice. The environment here is relatively closed, surrounded by mountains, and information is not circulated. Although it is not as difficult as the Shu Road, it is not much worse. However, such a closed environment is undoubtedly a good place for development under the premise of sufficient technical concepts.
In addition, because of the two major purges of the aristocratic families and the royal family, the Hanzhong gentry almost disappeared. Now the largest force in Hanzhong is Ye Zhao, who is also the only force. Ye Zhao can be arbitrary to these people under his tent, and can be completely integrated in administrative terms without too many interference factors.
The separatist situation of the princes in the world has been established. In the next few years, there will be constant wars in the Central Plains and Guanzhong, and no one can take care of Hanzhong. It also provides Ye Zhao with a relatively stable external environment. Even if Yuan Shu wants to find the place, the checkpoints in Hanzhong alone will be enough for Yuan Shu to find the north.
"Give a order first, and the checkpoints will be strictly enforced from today. Only those who have not issued the warrant issued by the General's Office will not be allowed to leave Hanzhong. Violators can be executed first and then reported." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said in a deep voice. In the next period of time, he would close the country and seek development first. When Hanzhong is almost developing, then open Hanzhong, and trade or alliance.
During this period of closure, he tried his best to avoid the news from Hanzhong being leaked. Hanzhong, a natural barrier, also gave Ye Zhao this opportunity.
"Ji Ling is fully responsible for this matter. The guards at all checkpoints must be reported at the General Guard's Mansion." Ye Zhao looked at Ji Ling and said.
"Here!" Ji Ling stepped forward and agreed.
"Xu Rong, Zhao Yun, Ding Li, Fang Yue!" Ye Zhao looked at the other generals and said.
"The last one will be here!"
"You four of you each lead 10,000 troops and are responsible for daily training. Every six months, the four armies compete in their skills. The winners are rewarded, and the losers are fined for three months. In addition, each army selects 200 strong men to enter the General's Mansion of the Guard, and the officer will train them personally." Ye Zhao looked at everyone and said.
"Don't worry, lord, I will definitely live up to my lord's entrustedness." The four of them took the order in unison.
"Dian Wei, Guan Hai, and Hua Xiong are the three of us who are the prince's personal guards for the time being." Ye Zhao looked at Hua Xiong and smiled without waiting for him to speak: "Don't worry, I remember the bet on me. But General Guard's Mansion does not raise idle people and wants to have enough food. Starting tomorrow, I will train my personal guards well."
When Hua Xiong heard this, he could only sigh and counted as an agreement.
"Qiu Chi!" Ye Zhao looked at Qiu Chi who had not seen for a long time and said with a smile: "You are proficient in business and negotiation. I want to build a ranch in western central and central Han, and I need a large number of cattle and horses. In the next few years, I will find a way to pull more. The best ox is to plow ox, and the best bison is. In short, the more the more the better."
"Here!" Qiu Chi bowed and agreed. This was his strength. When Ye Zhao was in Macheng, he had mostly handled the trade with the Hu people outside the Great Wall.
"As for Huang Shao..." Ye Zhao looked at Huang Shao and smiled: "This time I entered Hanzhong, I brought a large number of craftsmen. I must have seen it. I plan to imitate Shaofu and set up another official office in Hanzhong, and call the Shengong Camp, treat it with military merits, and summon the world's skilled craftsmen to study new things. At the same time, I will recruit some old farmers to come in and continue to study manure. This camp will be chaired by you."
Huang Shao was born in a modest family. Although he had read some books before joining the Taiping Sect, he was considered a poor family. Before that, he had planted land, worked as a carpenter, and worked as a bricklayer. He was not unfamiliar with these things. Although he had no talent, he could do better with these things.
"Man Chong continues to serve as the prefect of Hanzhong, in charge of government affairs, and the affairs of Hanzhong Academy..." Ye Zhao looked at Man Chong and said, "How are you prepared?"
Hanzhong Bookstore has been rebuilt. On this basis, Ye Zhao is preparing to build a college first and then gradually popularize culture.
"The academy has been built, but no one can be a guru." Man Chong said with a wry smile.
Architecture is easy to talk about, but the talent of teaching is the key.
"The academy will be managed by the military advisor for the time being." Ye Zhao looked at everyone. Now he and Xi Zhicai are only idle people. He has many things to take charge of, so the academy matter can only be left to Xi Zhicai. I will talk about it when I find a better candidate in the future.
