35 Development of Daan Town
Wu Jie's unsure rhetoric easily moved his father Wu Juren, when hundreds of people from the Wu clan came to Dayuan Island, Wu Juren greeted Li Tianyang, and the group settled in Da'an Town.
Li Tianyang acquiesced in Wu Juren's approach, and expressed his welcome attitude towards this arrangement, who let Wu Juren's position be there, as a junior, Li Tianyang really can't refute the face of this second uncle.
Not to mention, it is also a good thing for Li Tianyang to place these hundreds of people from the Wu family in Da'an Town, so that they don't have to worry about begging for land from Hongmen because of the arrival of the Wu family.
And Wu Juren is even more secretly happy, Hongmen recruits displaced people and natives, and never allows people of the same clan to live in one place too much, basically they will be split between several residential areas, or scattered in several natural villages.
The advantage of this is that there will not be a united big family within the Hongmen sphere of influence, even if everyone usually has a lot of contact, but when they do not live in a circle with each other, they will be a little estranged from the family over time.
Although the families of this era are not as good as the family of the gate lords in the Wei and Jin dynasties, they still have a strong ruling power over the clansmen, and even some family rules are above the laws of the imperial court.
When Li Tianyang was in Tanmen, he had already seen the various situations of the Wu clan personally, and faintly felt that this time it would bring harm to the Hongmen team, so when recruiting and resettling the displaced aborigines, he had deliberately split the families and let them disperse.
But the reason why Wu Juren was persuaded by Gan Dabiao this time is that the hundreds of Wu clan people he brought can live together in Da'an Town without being resettled in chaos, for Wu Juren, who pays attention to family affection, this is much more convincing than other conditions!
As for Li Tianyang's acquiescence to the other clansmen's gathering together, it can be regarded as an exception, when he saw Wu Juren, the second uncle, showing favor to him, Li Tianyang turned a blind eye to this kind of trivial matter, not to mention that the number of Wu relatives who were really surnamed Wu was less than two hundred, and it was not too threatening.
Gan Dabiao smiled lightly, for the arrival of Wu Juren and his party, they had been prepared for a long time, and as soon as they arrived, they first checked into the temporary guest room prepared by Gan Dabiao, and afterwards, under the leadership of Gan Dabiao, they walked around the undeveloped fields in the west of Da'an Town, looking for suitable land for land development.
At this time, Da'an Town had newly developed 2,000 acres of land, which was one-tenth of the completion of the task set by Li Tianyang, but it took almost two months for Da'an Town.
The Wu family originally wanted to directly divide a few acres of new land from Gan Dabiao's hands to plant, but Gan Dabiao asked the Wu family to come to open up the wasteland, if they directly wanted to plant the land they reclaimed, then what use did he want them!
Therefore, Gan Dabiao politely refused their request, and told them that if they cultivated the new land themselves, each family could open up 30 acres of land that belonged to them, but if they wanted to divide the land from themselves, each family could only give 15 acres.
As soon as these words came out, how could the people of the Wu family still want to get something for nothing, even if Gan Dabiao took the initiative to give them the land, they would not do it.
Gan Dabiao smiled secretly, looking at a group of old people from Tanmen who had already known him, at this time, he was full of fighting spirit carrying a new plow and driving cattle to the distant wasteland to reclaim, which was very proud of his own means.
After Wu Juren settled his family in Da'an Town, he went back to the city to go to Turtle Island, and now he values his official skin very much, so he is working hard to learn the constitution and ethics of Hongmen, and leads by example with a group of henchmen to correct their many problems.
As for the matter in Da'an Town, with Wu Jie's son and Gan Dabiao and a few other young people watching, he still has something to worry about.
Wu Jie also moved his family to Da'an Town, because his mother is here, and several uncles are also together, and they have been wandering for many years, Wu Jie's wife and children have not yet cultivated a relationship with these relatives at home, so he took advantage of the current opportunity to take over his wife and children to be filial to his mother and elders.
When Wu Jie first married his wife, he married a small family of Jasper who was recruited from Zhejiang, and he also did not ask for the consent of his father at home, but when he got married, he took his fiancée and her elders to Tanmen, and hastily held a wedding in Tanmen.
Fortunately, this family of victims is still worthy of Wu Jie, when they were not declining at that time, they were also scholarly heirlooms, which are much better than those village women in Tanmen Village.
And people are quite open-minded, there are not many objections to Hongmen letting women come out to work, and at the same time, they also sent their daughter to the school to learn a medical skill, and was assigned to be a doctor in the Salesian Bureau, which gave Wu Jie, who often hung up the lottery and went in and out of the hospital, an opportunity.
Although Wu Jie is suspected of being cut first and then played in this marriage, the woman who married her looks neat, speaks and acts very decently, and has a calm temperament on her body.
Now, Wu Jie is also the father of two sons and one daughter, which makes his brave and ruthless temperament in the past another layer of shackles, and he is no longer in danger as he once was.
With hundreds of new troops joining, compared to the population of nearly 10,000 in Da'an Town at this time, it seems to be a drop in the bucket, but it is still used to open up wasteland, and the progress is still a little faster.
The newly reclaimed wasteland is prone to weeds and shrub saplings growing again, so there is little hope for this first season of food to feed this growing population.
When Gan Dabiao bought grain on credit for these displaced people, he no longer asked them to return the grain to himself, but let them convert it into labor and exchange it for the grain they had obtained by helping Hongmen reclaim new land.
This is the method that Hongmen used at the beginning, but it was eliminated after the development of Bengang and chicken coops into a system, and now Gan Dabiao has reused it, and the effect is still considerable.
Coupled with the fact that so many livestock are raised in the pastures in Da'an Town, there is no shortage of animal power, and the progress of land reclamation has gradually caught up with the speed planned by Gan Dabiao.
