Chapter 1079: Liaodong Immigration
The mountain city was breached, and the remnants of the Manchu Qing that existed in the political situation were completely wiped out by the Wei army.
The Koreans carried out a bloody purge of the Eight Banners and their families in the territory, and the Eight Banners and their families who had lost their shelter in the Korean Eight Provinces were beaten to death and the women were insulted, and like other ethnic groups that destroyed the country, they suffered a miserable situation.
After Gao Yihuan captured the mountain city by the Wei army, he stayed in the scholar Wang Shicong to continue to deal with Korean affairs, and decided to return to Guannai.
Originally, Gao Yihuan was going to return to Shandong by boat from North Korea, but because of the war with the Southern Ming Dynasty, Gao Yihuan finally decided to return to Chang'an by land for the sake of insurance.
Outside the customs, the Liao River estuary, many sea ships anchored here, and the people carried grain and materials from the boats and went north along the Liao River.
Gao Yihuan and his entourage rode horses and galloped, and on the plain not far from Liaoyang, there were endless tents, and many barren places in northern Shaanxi, the people who had migrated over would be placed here.
On the way back to Guannai, Gao Yihuan stopped by to inspect the resettlement of the people.
The Liaohe Plain is very fertile, and before Nurhachi's rebellion, at least two million people lived here, and it was once very prosperous, but now it is a barren wilderness.
At this time, with the colonization of the disciples of the Wei State, the land of Liaodong slowly regained some vitality, and some figures appeared.
After the group entered the Liaohe Plain, they could see the smoke rising from time to time, and they could see the people cutting down trees to build houses and reclaim the land.
"Your Majesty, there are a total of 100,000 people who have moved into Liaodong this time, and the minister is ready to settle along the Liaohe River and set up ten towns, each town has 10,000 people, all the way to Liaoyang, and wait for the next batch of people to arrive, and then restore Shenyang and Fushun." Sun Yucheng hit the horse and followed Gao Yihuan's side, and he said as he walked.
Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, "It takes time and effort to transport materials by land, and it is indeed convenient to place the people on the plains on both sides of the Liao River." In the future, the fur and mountain ginseng produced in Liaodong can be conveniently transported to the estuary through the river, and then transported to Shandong and even Jiangnan by sea, and the materials and grain in the customs can also be transported into the Liaohe Plain through the river! ”
Gao Yihuan looked at the busy people and said approvingly: "The Qing family's arrangement is very good!" After the development is good, the environment is no worse than that in the Guannei, at least stronger than the barren land such as northern Shaanxi. This time, the Qing family must let this group of people settle down here, and make them richer than when they were in northern Shaanxi, so that more people will come spontaneously. ”
In addition to having a good climate, suitable for survival, rich in products, and having its own characteristics, a local economy needs to have convenient transportation and smooth roads.
Liaodong has such conditions, according to Sun Yucheng's plan, with the Liaohe River as the line, the town as the point, and the dots and lines are connected, it will not take a few decades for this place to be redeveloped.
At this time, Gao Yihuan and his party galloped and came to a temporary camp where the people were placed.
The Wei soldiers guarding the camp saw a large number of horse troops rushing and hurriedly came out to greet them.
Sun Yucheng said: "The land of Liaodong is vast and sparsely populated, there are still some remnants of Jiannu in the mountains and forests that have not been exterminated, and there are savage tribes in the north, who often enter the Liaohe Plain and attack villages, so each town has more than 300 soldiers to guard!" ”
Even if you are poor, you don't have to worry about being taken off your head in the middle of the night, and in Liaodong, there is a danger of being attacked in the middle of the night.
For the vast majority of people, they must rather be poor than have their heads taken off in the middle of the night.
After all, ordinary people like stability, and if their lives are always threatened, maybe the displaced people will have to return.
Gao Yihuan said in a deep voice: "I will let people sweep away the remnants of Manchuria around them, as well as the savage tribes in the north, and give the people a safe environment. ”
"Your Majesty is wise!" Sun Yucheng hurriedly saluted and said: "The ministers and the people have thanked Your Majesty!" ”
Gao Yihuan waved his hand, "This is what I should do, I hope you can settle the people of Liaodong well, and you can give me any requirements." ”
Sun Yucheng was not polite when he heard this, and immediately said: "Your Majesty! Now there is really a problem in Liaodong, that is, there is a lack of officials, especially low-level officials, to manage the people. ”
Gao Yihuan listened to him and continued: "Although the imperial court has appointed officials, there is a lack of scribes, government officials, soap officials, and treasury officials, most of whom need to be literate, and it is difficult to recruit them among the people. ”
Gao Yihuan bowed slightly, the people who migrated from northern Shaanxi are indeed relatively poor, and few of them are literate, "I will solve this problem for you, and later recruit some students from all over the country to serve outside the customs, and as for the government service, you can recruit some from the retired soldiers." ”
At this time, while walking and talking, they had already come to the camp, and the people gave Gao Yihuan a heartfelt salute in a restrained manner, and Gao Yihuan couldn't help asking: "Have cotton clothes and food been in place?" ”
Outside the customs, one is to keep warm, and the other is to eat, and these two things cannot be missed.
Sun Yucheng said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the imperial court has transported a lot of sweet potatoes and corn from the Guannei, the food is enough for the time being, and there is no need to worry about cotton clothes, the imperial court has already sent a batch to the people." Now that the wooden houses have been built, and there is firewood everywhere, your majesty should not worry. ”
Gao Yihuan nodded, and then reminded: "That's fine, but you can't cut it indiscriminately!" ”
This is a young official who heard that the emperor and the governor were coming, and he hurriedly led a group of people to meet him.
The officials took them to salute, and the ordinary people were rarely seen by the county order, so it was inevitable that they would be a little panicked and nervous at this time.
Gao Yihuan showed his trademark fatherly smile, waved his hand, and said, "Don't be restrained and panic, I came here today to see everyone's situation." Hear if you still have any questions and worries, and I will do my best to help you solve them! ”
After speaking, Gao Yihuan raised his hand, motioned for everyone to stand up, and then said, "All are exempt!" What's straight to say! ”
After hearing the words and thanking them, the people stood up one after another, and after discussing for a while, an old man saluted and said: "Your Majesty, the grass people and others have nothing to worry about, the court land has been divided, and the seeds and ploughing cattle have also been distributed, and the grass people are waiting for the spring to sow seeds." ”
Gao Yihuan saw that the old man was a little familiar, and recalled that when he inspected Yan'an, he seemed to have seen it, so he smiled and said, "Then will you run this time?" ”
The old man was startled, and hurriedly knelt down and replied: "Back to Your Majesty, I won't run away this time, it's all my own land, and there is land to plant, and the grass people will settle down here." ”
Gao Yihuan smiled with satisfaction, let the old man get up, and said kind words to reassure, saying that the tax exemption would be three years, so that the people could live with peace of mind.
After conquering Korea, Gao Yihuan decided to use the Koreans to make up for the gap in the military field tenants, while the Han people who migrated were not imposed, and the task of cultivating the military land must be cultivated.
