Chapter 774 Shengze’s Thoughts

Shen Qingqian quickly dressed and went out.

It's not cool outside at night now, so the two of them didn't go out, but were talking at home.

"I have thought of how to deal with those foreigners." Shengze said.

Shen Qingqian held the tea cup in her hand and raised her eyes to look at him, "You mean those people caught that day?"

"No," Shengze shook his head, "It's the hundreds of thousands of people outside the customs."

Shen Qingqian: "...How do you want to deal with it?"

"It's time to employ people in Northern Hubei. Instead of wiping out all those people, it's better to capture them and select people with various skills. First, treat them with slightly worse treatment than the captives and slightly worse than ordinary people, and then allow them to be allowed to They married and merged with the people of Ezhou..."

Shengze spoke his thoughts carefully and wrote down the key points on the paper as he spoke.

He does not want to divide people into three, six or nine classes, but two forces that have been hostile for many years. This process is necessary if they want to be completely integrated.

Shen Qingqian nodded frequently. She already understood what Shengze wanted to do.

The population gap in Ezhou is more than a dozen or two hundred thousand. It is no exaggeration to say that in three years, with the popularization of various high-yielding crops, Ezhou will only be more and more short of people. On the basis of today, it will be difficult to feed A population of half a million is not difficult.

Productivity determines production relations, and production relations react on productivity. Coupled with the continuous promotion of basic industries by Mr. Qin and others, society will slowly develop.

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

There are no sacred springs in other places and the water shortage is severe, but Northern Hubei can take advantage of this opportunity to work hard to develop. When the drought is over, Shengze can start preparing to get back what belongs to him.

In just a short moment, Shen Qingqian had already had countless thoughts in her mind. When Shengze finished speaking, she immediately nodded and said: "Your idea is theoretically feasible, but the supervision of these people is a big problem. Have you ever thought about it?" Already?"

"Well, we can't gather them together. There are 80 counties in Ezhou. We only need to disperse these people into these 80 counties, manage them uniformly, and let them contribute as corvees, handymen, etc., and they will It can't cause trouble." Shengze thought.

This specific implementation must be discussed with Zheng Shicheng and Zhang Zhiyao.

Shen Qingqian thought for a moment 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 temporarily, it would be good. At least it can solve Ezhou's current shortage of people." Shengze nodded. According to Shen Qingqian's world, what Ezhou is currently short of is actually labor.

If there was a labor shortage somewhere in her world, the local government would pay high salaries to poach people from crowded places. Now those people from outside the customs are coming to their doorsteps. It is easy to beat them down, but it is difficult to get them to contribute to the construction of Ezhou.

But Shengze firmly believed that those stragglers were definitely not as united as they seemed on the surface, and when the time came, he would just have to make good use of the "role model".

Let those people see that as long as they live in Ezhou sincerely, they can live like ordinary people. He believes that more than half of them will not have any evil thoughts.

"Well, I will first select people with special skills for you. For example, there were several people in the dungeon from places who are good at building ships. They are not your common ships, but another kind of big ship that can fight." Shen Qingqian Thinking.

To be able to come to Dajin from such a far away place, the shipbuilding technology must not be lost. What the Northern Hubei Army needs most is water warfare, and water warfare is naturally inseparable from warships.
