Chapter 433: Food, Clothing, Housing and Transportation

At present, the company's development center is in Shenyang, so there is no plan for large-scale development of Liaoyang, but there is no lot of work at all. The renovation of the old city of Liaoyang alone has countless tasks to be carried out.

In several major mining areas around Liaoyang, such as the Gongchangling Iron Mine, the Hongtian Coal Mine, the Huazi Cement Factory, and the Huazi Gypsum Mine, the work is even more complicated. A large number of expatriates rush to Liaoyang every day, and Li Ming has to go to these mining areas almost every day.

At present, the company has basically controlled the entire Liaodong region, and the remnants of the Tartars have almost been wiped out, and the very few Tartars who have fled to the northern grasslands and mountains are no longer a problem. A large number of musket militiamen with rich experience in grassroots management have also joined the management of the Liao people one after another. The announcement of the policy of package production to households has made the situation of the people of Liao more and more stable.

The development and construction of Liaodong is by no means an overnight thing, first of all, the population is strictly insufficient. Although the company will transport nearly 100,000 immigrants from Daming this year, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket in the face of the vast area of Liaodong.

In addition, Liaodong in this era, even in the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, also belonged to the border wilderness area. Except for a few official post roads, there is no infrastructure.

After the old slave broke Liaodong, he has been fighting endlessly. Not only did they abandon production, but they also adopted a policy of killing and plundering the Han people in Liaodong, causing millions of Liao people to be slaughtered, and most of the rest fled to the Jiaodong Peninsula and the islands of the Dongjiang River. A large amount of land is barren, and the economy is in shambles.

It is difficult to imagine how difficult it is to carry out construction on such a mess, and even many raw materials and building materials have to be transported from Vladivostok to Liaodong by ship, which greatly affects the construction of Liaodong.

Although the company has formulated a series of response plans, it has developed and built many quarries, sand fields, cement factories, brick factories, forestry farms, and coal mines. But it won't be put into production until at least next year. So at present, many materials still need to be provided by Vladivostok. Fortunately, the company's several 10,000-ton giant ships have made several trips back and forth, which can meet the materials required for large-scale construction in Liaodong this year.

This is not the most important thing, the most important problem that the company needs to solve urgently is to manage the clothing, food, housing and transportation of hundreds of thousands of people. How to ensure the basic necessities of hundreds of thousands of people is definitely not a joke. Winter is still a few months away. The company must hoard enough wintering materials before the winter to keep hundreds of thousands of Liao people fed and clothed.

First of all, there is the issue of food, which is related to the survival of the hundreds of thousands of Liao people under the rule of the Far East Company. The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry is located in major cities and towns in eastern Liaoning. As well as on both sides of the pipeline post road, using the cultivated land left by the Tartars, a large number of Liao people were organized to plant corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes, as well as a small amount of soybeans and peanuts. Some good locations were also selected, and vegetable greenhouse bases and several seed cultivation centers were established.

You will be able to eat a variety of fresh vegetables this winter, and the company will build more greenhouses next year. It can meet the supply of vegetables and non-staple foods in Liaoyang area to the greatest extent.

In addition, the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has also built several breeding bases in Shenyang and Liaoyang, including several chicken farms, mainly to hatch breeding chickens, supplemented by laying hens and broilers. Next year, the breeding chicken incubation center of these breeding bases will be able to form a scale, and by that time a large number of Liaomin in eastern Liaoning will get a few chicks. This is part of the company's benefit loan.

There are also a large number of piglets and breeding rabbits transported from Vladivostok, which are also raised here. Breeding rabbit farms and pig breeding farms are also under construction. In the future, Shenyang, Liaoyang, Fushun, Tieling, Lushun, Guangning and other towns and regions in eastern Liaoning will build one or several breeding bases, and the scale will be expanded in the future, so that every household in Liaodong will be full of chickens and ducks, and pigs will be full.

In addition to poultry and livestock, there is also a mushroom cultivation center. Next year, there will be a large number of mushrooms, straw mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, oyster mushrooms, fungus, white fungus and other mushroom products on the market, which will greatly enrich the non-staple food structure in eastern Liaodong.

Because Liaodong is located inland, the seafood in the coastal areas cannot meet all the needs of Liaodong, so the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will vigorously develop the fish farming industry. A number of fish ponds have been built in Liaodong, and a large number of freshwater fish such as carp, silver carp, and crucian carp will be produced next year.

The Far Eastern Company sent troops to sweep away the Mongol tribes of the Liaohetao. Countless cattle, sheep and horses have been seized, and the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has taken them all in, and has established pastures along the Liao River, which can supply enough cattle and mutton to the Far East in the future.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry will make use of the breeding technology of modern social sciences to open up a large number of animal husbandry bases in the Liaohetao area, and use modern cattle and sheep of improved breeds to crossbreed cattle and sheep with the breeds of cattle and sheep in the grasslands of this era, so as to cultivate its own fine populations in the Far East.

The Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry has been preparing silently for many years, accumulating a lot of experience in breeding and management, and not long after recovering Liaodong, they took the first batch of ships to Liaodong, and immediately put themselves into intense work after landing in Liaodong.

Zhou Lin worked Russky Island for several years, not only establishing a large number of chicken farms, rabbit farms, pig farms, duck and goose farms, and fungus breeding farms in various parts of Vladivostok, but also establishing several large-scale animal husbandry bases.

Today, Russky Island has become a poultry and livestock breeding center of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, from which large quantities of breeding chickens, breeding rabbits and breeding pigs are transported to various parts of Vladivostok every day.

Russky Island is also a training base for the poultry and livestock breeding industry of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, and a large number of immigrants come to the island every year for training, and they are systematically trained by Zhou Lin and the experts and technicians of the company's Agriculture and Forestry Department.

Before the company recovered Liaodong, Zhou Lin had begun to make active preparations, cultivated a large number of breeding chickens, rabbits and pigs, and trained a large number of breeding industry workers who were familiar with the business.

It is to cope with the heavy demand in Liaodong in the future. For this reason, Zhou Lin and the others have been preparing for two years. At present, it seems that Zhou Lin's preparations are relatively sufficient, and the skilled breeding industry workers who have studied systematically have basically met the needs of various regions in eastern Liaoning. However, all kinds of breeding chickens, breeding rabbits and breeding pigs still cannot meet the needs of eastern Liaoning.

Fortunately, the population of Liaodong is not large at present, and the Far East Company has also made a lot of preparations, buying a large amount of rice and grain from Siam, Southeast Asia, the Ming Dynasty, Korea and Japan, and when liberating Liaodong, a large amount of grain was seized from the Tatars. In addition, in recent years, the company's strategic reserve warehouse, hoarded more than 100,000 tons of rice and corn, can basically ensure the grain demand before the autumn harvest this year.

In addition to the food problem, there are also cotton clothes and bedding for hundreds of thousands of Liao people to spend the winter, which is also an arduous task. In recent years, the company has been buying cotton, cotton cloth and various leather and wool products in Manila.

Two 10,000-ton ships carry large quantities of cotton, cloth and fur back to Vladivostok every year. The company also purchased a large amount of cloth in Daming through Song Shiping of Guò Daming, Zheng Zhilong of Fujian, and Liu Xiang of Guangdong, and a large number of sea ships pulled boatloads of cloth to Jeju Island every year.

Several enterprises under the Light Industry Department of the Ministry of Industry are now working in four shifts, and a large number of single cotton clothes, quilt covers, cotton hats, cotton shoes, shirts, underwear, socks and gloves have been produced in a steady stream. It has been hoarded for almost two years, and the warehouses of the storage company are almost full.

In addition, the company has seized a large number of cloth and leather goods left over from Tartars in Liaodong, and before the winter of this year, it can fully ensure the wintering cotton clothing coverage of hundreds of thousands of Liao people.

The problem of housing for the Liao people wintering was easy to solve, because the offensive in the Far East was full of suddenness, the Tartars were not prepared at all, and in the process of fleeing in a hurry, they did not wantonly destroy all kinds of living facilities, and the villages were basically well preserved, so the housing problem for the Liao people for wintering was not only sufficient, but also rich and surplus. Even if a large number of immigrants from Daming come from Daming in the future, they can cope with it

As for wood and coal for heating over the winter, the company has already begun to prepare them. It can also hoard a large amount of wood and coal before the onset of winter to ensure the heating of hundreds of thousands of Liao people in winter. ,

This winter, the company will carry out unified winter training for hundreds of thousands of Liaoning people, and in the spring of next year, the company will implement the land policy of contracting production to households among the Liaoning people, and the company's management costs will be greatly reduced.

Therefore, starting next year, the company will invest more resources in the large-scale construction and development of Liaodong, and the railway from Shenyang to Vladivostok will be opened to traffic in the future.

Liaodong and the Outer Northeast are vast, and if there is no perfect transportation system, it is tantamount to a fool's dream to develop this place. Therefore, the company's railway department has begun to plan and design the railway network in eastern Liaoning and the outer northeast.

In the future, according to the railway network of modern society, the railways of Liaodong and the outer northeast and Korea will be connected, and the huge railway network will extend to Harahasu in the east, Pusan in the south, Shanhaiguan in the west, and the Tatar Strait in the east.

In addition to railways, the company will also build a road network on a large scale, strive to connect the major towns in eastern Liaoning and the outer northeast with asphalt roads, and will also build several closed highways.

Of course, for the construction of highways and railways of this scale, the construction machinery and vehicles of the Far East will certainly not be able to meet the needs of all road sections, and will be mainly completed by manpower, so in the future, the Far East will mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions of foreign laborers, adopt the tactics of crowds, and work on the construction sites of various highways and railways in Liaodong and the Outer Northeast with a large workload of 12 hours a day.

In the future, conditions for waterway transportation in the Far East will be much better. Although the location of many rivers in Liaodong in this era is very different from that of modern society, the amount of water is much richer, and the water and soil along the coast are also well maintained.

In the future, the Far East will make use of the abundant water resources in Liaodong and the Outer Northeast to build a large number of wharves and coal and water replenishment points along the main rivers, so as to build a perfect waterway transportation network. (To be continued......)
