"It's still there, it's still there. Only the east side of the hall collapsed, but the rest is intact." Su Tong said quickly. He was very humble.
After all, this is an uncle and the deputy of Jin Yiwei. He is a close official of the emperor! Especially the man with a ferocious face behind him, holding in his arms the Shang Fang Sword with an openwork golden dragon.
It is obvious at a glance that Yang Fan's status is definitely not as simple as an ordinary police officer. Such a noble person is something ordinary people can easily see.
Yang Fan and his party arrived at Yong'an Temple. He went straight to the stele pavilion without going anywhere else. There are two stone tablets from the Yongle period here. After this place was ceded to Maozi in later generations, they moved it away and it is now in the Far Eastern Museum in Vladivostok.
Maozi demolished Yong'an Temple to eliminate the Chinese mark.
Yang Fan reached out and touched the stone tablet. I have been lamenting for a long time. This is the ironclad proof that this is the homeland of China.
"This governor has brought twelve ships this time, and a large amount of supplies will be shipped later. Two thousand soldiers have arrived. Temple Street needs to be rebuilt, with rammed earth and bricks, and urns, arrow towers, horse faces, and forts built. .The pier needs to be rebuilt.”
"I know you are homesick, but you can't leave now. The imperial court wants to rebuild Nuergandusi. They are threatening the Jurchens in Jianzhou in the north. If this is over, if you want to return to the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely send a ship to take you home."
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound all around. They have been thinking about going home for two hundred years.
These people are all descendants of people from Jiangsu and Anhui, that is, soldiers of Huaiyou. Their old stories are about the wealth of their hometown, so it is normal for them to want to leave this bitter and cold place.
"Su Tong, please help me do something." Yang Fan said.
"Uncle, if you have an errand, Su Tong will never give up!" Su Tong said loudly.
"Send someone to inform the leaders of the Sauron tribes and the Beishan Jurchen tribes to come here to join me in an alliance. The Ming Dynasty will rebuild the Nurgandu Division and ennoble these people as officials to command their respective territories. The Ming Dynasty will provide salaries and supplies. And in the Open a market in Temple Street for free trade."
After Yang Fan looked at the shocked people, he continued: "I want to go to the upper reaches of Heilongjiang first and let them wait here. When I come back, I will meet these leaders and give them official titles."
That day, the army was stationed in the city. Following Yang Fan were servants from two battalions, as well as more than a thousand sailors from the Japan Sea Fleet.
After the army was stationed, it was customary. Work such as clearing snow, repairing log walls, and hauling out garbage began immediately. Yang Fan's soldiers love cleanliness. No matter where they go, their first priority is to clean up.
Engineers drilled holes with explosives and fired cannons, blasting open the frozen soil. It won't work without exploding, the ground is frozen, like steel. When you hit it with a pickaxe, you will see a white dot. After repairing the log city wall, a moat was also blown up. The sappers had modern saws and cut wood quickly. The city wall was quickly repaired. A wooden watchtower and arrow tower was also erected every fifty meters.
The snow in the city has also been cleared away. Road repairs were made. Public baths and public toilets were also built in the city. A well house was built, and engineers used explosives to dig a five-meter-diameter deep well to provide a clean water source.
The people in the city were actually a little afraid of the army. In this era, military discipline was not good. After all, there are very few civilized troops like Yue Jiajun who would freeze to death without tearing down their houses or starve to death without looting. However, they soon became enthusiastic about these young men of seventeen or eighteen.
These people never disturb the people and will not live in people's homes. They built their own cotton tents to live in. They deal fairly, treat people well, and work hard every day. Renovating the city. ..
Even the main hall of Yongan Temple has been repaired. The golden body of the Buddha statue was also reshaped. There is also a newly built forecourt next to the pier in the north of the city. It is said to be used for trade.
The open space to the east of the city was originally a hilly area. After being blasted and leveled, a school ground was built. Used to train the army. The city has also planned commercial streets and opened schools so that ordinary people can go to school. Medical clinics were also opened to provide free medical treatment to the people. In the newly built bathhouse, each person can bathe free of charge once a month.
In the square in front of the government office, a new Xinghe Bank was opened on the east side. A Xinghe supermarket has been opened on the west side. They are all newly built wooden houses. But it hasn't opened yet. I heard that the market will not open until the Siamese ship comes to deliver supplies.
almost a few days
In a short time, Temple Street became like no one recognized by the people here. It's more comfortable here than the legendary hometown of Jianghuai.
Yang Fan went to work in the government office the next day, re-registered household registrations and issued grain books to all 5,697 people. Once you have an account number, you can manage it effectively.
It's bitterly cold here and life is hard, so it's hard to keep people here. Yang Fan plans to increase the benefits for everyone. Free medical care, free education, and free housing. Do whatever you can. As long as you can't think of it, there is nothing Yang Fan can't do.
With the grain book, you can buy three kilograms of cornmeal for one penny. There are also affordable salt and oil. By ensuring that everyone is well fed, you can win over people's hearts the fastest.
This is a border area, so it’s not okay if we can’t keep people here.
Yang Fan also plans to provide subsidies for the birth of a child, with fifty kilograms of rice for boys and two pieces of cloth for girls. Train obstetricians and gynecologists and nurses to deliver babies. Encourage people to come to the hospital to give birth. This will reduce production mortality.
In addition, subsidies are given for marrying a wife. The government, who couldn't find a wife, paid for young girls from the Beishan Jurchens and the Sauron people to distribute to them. After marriage, a wooden house is allocated.
Only with the fetters of family can they take root in this wild land with peace of mind and firmly guard the land of Ming Dynasty.
Yang Fan redistributed more than 5,000 people to seven hereditary households and prepared to report to the court to make Su Tong the commander. After all, 5,900 people are enough for one guard. There should be five thousand households under it.
Of course, normal refers to the number of strong men. There are only about a thousand strong men here.
However, Yang Fan believed that the soldiers' hearts should not be chilled. He was going to make a memorial and set this place up as a temple street guard. Let Su Tong be the commander. Then promote relevant officials. There are five thousand-household offices. If there were not enough people, Yang Fan would transport refugees to supplement the supply.
After registering the household registration on the second day, Yang Fan started going door to door on the third day, visiting each household according to the population registered in the household registration.
Now these people have all returned to the Ming Dynasty. They must be rewarded for their perseverance over the years.
According to the population of each family, one person is given ten kilograms of rice. For one kilogram of refined salt, one household has a fifty kilogram bucket of canned braised sea fish. There is also a piece of cloth for each person.
These people were immediately excited. I haven’t seen cloth in many years. There are thousands of horses left in the treasury, but after two hundred years, there will be only a few left. Over time, they have become rotten. For a time, the whole city was filled with cheers, just like the Chinese New Year.
Yang Fan also specially asked the cooking team to use the field cooking truck to make dumplings stuffed with venison and wild onions for everyone. Because there is only venison and half-dried wild onions in the city.
Flour is a legendary food for these people. Haven’t seen it for two hundred years.
Both adults and children were crying, as if they were celebrating the New Year. Things like soy sauce and rice vinegar haven’t been seen in years. There are only brewing masters here, but no one who knows how to make vinegar.
Yang Fan forced these people to take a hot bath and rub off the old mud and antifreeze grease. The parasites on my body were removed, and I was given a brand new three-layered clothes, plus a cotton military coat, felt boots, and a dog-skin hat.
There are serious infectious diseases such as plague and hemorrhagic fever here. They prey on marmots, otters, and rats. Minks also have rabies. It’s impossible not to do good hygiene. Yang Fan's soldiers did not have the resistance to them. If the plague broke out, everything would be ruined.
Look, things here are almost done. Yang Fan was ready to set off, patrolling along the Heilongjiang River and going to the upper reaches of the Onan River.
It’s an unexpected surprise that there are survivors of the Ming Dynasty here.
At this time, Mr. Wu came in and said: "The boss is in trouble. Last night I watched the sky and looked at the king's energy, and found that the luck of the northern dragon has begun to shift. The northern dragon has a tendency to turn around and go south. From the outside The Xing'an Mountains went south again. It followed the mountains east of the Wusuli River and returned south to the Changbai Mountains in Liaodong, and then entered Korea and the Japanese Islands."
