"The first batch of people from Qingzhou, a total of 6,478 people, have all gone through the naturalization procedures at the Household Registration Department. They have now been assigned village chiefs and brought them back to the new villages built last year."
Prefect's Mansion.
Hu Qi, who has silver-rimmed eyes on his nose, is processing official documents in his hand. Beside him, his secretary is reporting to him on the situation of the group of Qingzhou people who came today.
"Well, various policy supports will be distributed to them when they arrive in the new village. Farm tools, seeds, livestock, chickens, ducks and geese will all be given in the amounts determined at the beginning."
"At the same time, I would also like to tell the newly appointed village chiefs that the cattle, horses and other livestock used to cultivate the fields must be taken care of. Now that late autumn is about to enter winter, next year, the villages will definitely have a lot of agricultural accumulation. Without those livestock, the fields Farming will require a lot more work.”
Hu Qi drank a tube of ink from the ink bottle, then reassembled the newly disassembled pen, signed his name under an official document, and stamped it with the seal of the prefect.
As the prefect of Jianyin County, Hu Qi is in charge of the official affairs of the entire Yinzhou. Previously, due to population problems, they, the people who immigrated to Yinzhou in the early stage, could only move around Jianyin County.
But it's fine now.
From letters from Liao, he knew that there were millions of people in Qingzhou waiting to be absorbed by the Three Continents, and he was naturally targeting these people.
In the past two years, Yinzhou has begun to take shape under his plan.
In the gold and silver smelting industry, Zhang Qi dominates the industry.
Since they asked Zhang Qi to bring blast furnace technology to Yinzhou at the end of last year, it has only been August or September, and the iron smelting plant they established in Jianyin County has started the iron blasting mode.
Since last month, Jianyin County's monthly steel production has exceeded 3,000 tons, which doesn't sound like much, right?
But this is steel, not wrought iron.
The steel output of Jian Yin County alone was comparable to that of the entire Han Dynasty.
And as the smelting plant workers become more proficient, there will definitely be explosive growth based on this output.
In addition to industry, food is also one of Yinzhou's tasks.
In other words, no matter which state he is in, Zhang Qiding's first priority is food.
Although the Northeast region alone can support Zhang Qi's current population and there is still a surplus, from the beginning to the end, Zhang Qi has been eyeing the tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty.
Just the output of a Liao land is not enough.
There also needs to be more arable area, livestock breeding, and marine fish fishing.
What Yinzhou and Lezhou are responsible for is the sea fishing industry.
They have a natural advantage in terms of terrain.
Just the amount of fish caught in a Hokkaido fishery, as long as the shipping industry can support it, is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people. Although Yinzhou has many mountains and few flat lands, it is not impossible to grow things. The sweet potatoes sent from Liaoning can It is very suitable for mountain planting, and it can be considered as a success in farming.
Hu Qi stopped the pen in his hand, took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose to soothe his eyes.
"The people from the geography mapping team haven't come back yet? I don't know if there is any plain terrain suitable for large-scale planting in Yinzhou. If there is, I also want to turn this place into a big granary."
Hu Qi said softly.
As a person who came from 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 the best you can.
If possible, he hopes that he can develop Yinzhou into an area that is very important to his emperor, with industry, farming, and fishing running in parallel.
"Not yet, but I think it will be soon. They set off in February, and now it's almost September or October. It's time to come back."
At another desk next to Hu Qi, his secretary said this.
"Well, I hope so."
Nodding, Hu Qi put on his glasses and continued to work.
——
"Okay, we've arrived! Everyone, get out of the car."
Forty miles outside Yincheng, the young village chief Zhao Ji jumped off the large passenger carriage and greeted his villagers to get off with a smile on his face.
The roads in Jianyin County are very developed, which is the result of Hu Qi's more than two years in power. After all, Jianyin County and Jianyin City are responsible for the mining and refining of gold and silver, and are very dependent on transportation, so since the immigration has been solved After food and accommodation, Hu Qi recruited a large number of workers to build roads.
After all, there were Japanese slaves who mined the ores, and the tiring but safe hard work of road construction was left to the immigrants who came with them, which was also a way to increase their income.
The large passenger carriage is not small in size and can carry thirty people at a time without any problem.
The people driving this kind of carriages were Han army cavalry who had been recruited on the battlefield. Some of them chose to quit the army because they were tired of the war, and some chose to quit the army due to physical reasons.
But it would be a waste to leave them unused, so Zhang Qi simply designed this kind of public transportation vehicle so that these veterans can make a living after retiring from the army.
A cart requires twelve horses to pull it. In terms of scale, this has already surpassed the imperial guard of honor. However, this is not the Han Dynasty. Zhang Qi does not care much about the so-called guard of honor.
Want style?
I'll just let the locomotive clear the way!
Who can be more majestic than the steel behemoth?
There were more than twenty such carriages in total.
Starting from Jianyincheng, they walked for a day.
Although the speed is not fast, it is better than ease.
The car door was opened.
The people of Qingzhou who had been riding a carriage all day are still recalling the charm of riding a carriage. In the Han Dynasty, only ordinary people could ride a carriage.
How could they not be excited and happy when they thought that they also had such treatment?
Twenty horse-drawn carriages were parked steadily at the entrance of the village, and the four characters "Wood Industry Village" were written in standard regular script on a plaque made of logs and wooden boards.
It is not difficult to tell from the name of the village that this village is rich in timber.
All the people were gathered together by Zhao Ji at the entrance of the village.
He smiled and pointed to the village behind him.
"From now on, everyone will settle in Muye Village. Our village is not large, with only 400 households living there. You are the first batch of villagers to come here. You can give priority to the houses you want to settle in later. This is your home."
"In the Household Registration Department, the Household Registration Ministers have made it very clear to everyone that each household will be granted ten acres of fertile land. The acres are located not far outside the village. We are all tired today. I will lead everyone to claim them one by one tomorrow."
"In addition, as a subsidy for immigrants, the Prefect's Mansion has also prepared the necessary subsidy items."
"Each household is provided with a set of corresponding farm tools, including hoes, sickles, etc."
"One hundred and twenty kilograms of seeds per household, enough to sow ten acres of fields."
"Each household has three pairs of chickens, ducks and geese. If you want to breed chickens, ducks and geese to eat a variety of eggs every day, you can come to me to get the breeding. If you don't want to bear the cost of feed, you can also explain to me that the Taishou Mansion will pay three-thirds of the market price of chickens, ducks and geese. One pays everyone money."
