Chapter 354: Build Your Own Steel Base

"The land in South Korea is barren and unbearable for the people to cultivate, while the land in North Korea and Central Korea is fertile, but unfortunately the population is sparse, so His Royal Highness the King of Tang Qi has an order to move all the people of South Korea to North Korea, China and South Korea, and the people in the state must be prepared!" In front of the sign in front of the gate of the Assassin's Mansion in Sihyunseong, a scribe explained the contents of the newly posted notice in Baekje dialect, and many people in the city were gathered below.

At first, these people thought that Lord Assassin Shi was going to recruit workers on behalf of the merchants, so many people wanted to see what the conditions were, if it was good, they were willing to do it, but they didn't expect to hear the order to let them move, and it was directly issued by the Qi Palace, which made the people below immediately clamored after hearing it, and shouted that the government would not give them a way to live, if they moved to North Korea and Central Korea, then what would they do with their fields here?

Seeing that the crowd below was so noisy, the scribe who read the notice couldn't help but snort coldly and shouted: "You untouchables, all be honest with your officials, there are still many conditions below that have not been recited!" ”

Although this scribe is also from Baekje, but now he is an official of the Tang Dynasty, and he is usually the most fierce to the people, so the people in the city are most afraid of them. Seeing this, the scribe finally nodded in satisfaction and began to explain the content behind the notice to the people below.

It turns out that this relocation of the government also gave benefits, for example, as long as the people in South Korea now own land, after moving to North Korea and Central Korea, they will be given double the land. This compensation moved the hearts of many of those who owned land outside the city, as the notice said at the beginning. The land here in South Korea is barren and simply cannot be compared to North Korea and Central Korea. If you can now trade barren land for double the fertile land, it will obviously be a very good deal.

It is precisely because many people have the above plans. Therefore, as long as the people have land, most of them are quiet, and carefully consider whether they can measure more fields in their homes. However, there were also those who were unwilling, and saw a common man dressed as a merchant shouting: "My lord, we are in business, and we don't have much land at home, but we own a few shops, what should we do?" ”

This businessman asked many people's thoughts, after all, this is Si Yu City. Not all of them own land, and a significant number of them make a living by doing business.

And the scribe snorted coldly and said: "What's the hurry, it's time to talk about you now, it doesn't matter if you don't have a field, all the shops and houses that can't be moved are converted into fields at a price, and when you arrive in North Korea and Central Korea, you will also be given double the amount of land, which belongs to you completely." If you don't farm, you can sell it to others, and you'll make a lot of money! ”

Although the scribe said it nicely. But most of the merchants are still sad, they are not farmers, and even if they have land, they will not farm. It is even more impossible to hire people, after all, the labor force in Sanhanzhou is about to be recruited by the Tang people. Therefore, the allotted land will eventually have to be sold, but there will certainly be many people like them who will sell their fields. As a result, the price of the land will inevitably plummet, and it is still a question of whether there is even anyone to buy it.

Seeing the dissatisfied expressions of the merchants below, the scribe snorted coldly, turned around and entered the back of the Assassin's Mansion to report, don't look at him in front of the ordinary people, in fact, he is just a small scribe, the order given to him from above is only to read out the notice to the people, as for the reaction of the people after hearing it, it is not within the scope of his consideration.

Si Yu City is the capital of South Korea, the highest governor of a state is still the history of the assassin, the current history of the assassin is temporarily served by Lu Hong, but all political affairs are discussed by Lu Hong and Wang An, now the two are in the study of the Assassin Mansion, but today there is one more person in the study, it is Li Su who has just arrived in Si Xuan.

"Your Highness, the land in South Korea is barren, and we have promised double land compensation, coupled with the deterrence of the army, presumably the people of South Korea will obediently move to North Korea and Central Korea even if they have complaints in their hearts!" Lu Hong said with a smug face, this migration plan was planned by him and Wang An, and now he can see that it is implemented normally, and he is naturally very happy in his heart.

Although Li Su agreed to the relocation plan, he was still a little worried in his heart, and said: "But in addition to the farmers, there are also some merchants, craftsmen, monks, etc. in South Korea, and these people don't own much land. ”

However, Wang An smiled after hearing this: "Your Highness is too careful, we have investigated before, South Korea is a poor place, and the proportion of merchants and craftsmen is not much, even if these people want to make trouble, I am afraid that it will not become any climate, as for the monks, Your Highness does not have to worry, we have reached an agreement with the leaders of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism to print a large number of Buddhist scriptures and Taoist books for them for free, and will also invite craftsmen from the Tang Dynasty to make statues of gods, and also divide a lot of land for them, so not only will they not object, On the contrary, it will help us to calm the people's minds. ”

Hearing Wang An's explanation, Li Su finally put his mind at ease, Wang An and Lu Hong are both pillars, and now the two of them are working together to do this, and it is really leaky, and all aspects are in their calculations. Thinking of this, Li Su couldn't help but feel a little proud, with the assistance of two pillars, what else could be difficult to pour himself?

There are two main reasons why Wang An and Lu Hong proposed to relocate the people of South Korea, the first reason is that in addition to the recruitment of Tang merchants, the population of Sanhan Prefecture is greatly reduced, and there is a lot of land in each state, and in contrast, the land in South Korea is barren and is really not suitable for farming, so if the people in the state can be moved to the other two states, the most reasonable use of manpower and land resources can be made.

However, if you want to move all the people in the entire state, it is not an easy task, not only will it cost a lot of manpower and material resources, but if you don't do it well, it will also cause civil unrest, after all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and not everyone wants to move away. Therefore, if they only want to make reasonable use of resources, Wang An and Lu Hong will not put forward this plan, and the key is the second reason.

Li Su gave up the throne of the Tang Dynasty and chose to develop outward on his own, and now he has made certain achievements, occupying Taiwan and Sanhan Prefecture, and can be regarded as having his own territory, but these two places have their own shortcomings, most of the people living in Sanhan Prefecture are of different races, Li Su does not trust the people here at all, and will definitely not give them too good conditions for development. However, there are also advantages here, that is, there are many iron mines and coal mines in the Andong Prefecture and even the local area, which is very suitable for the development of the steel industry.

Taiwan is located overseas, the development potential is very huge, but the population is sparse, and the island's resources are limited, especially the very important iron and steel industry, there is no development of the conditions for the time being, and the steel needed must be purchased from Datang.

For this situation, not only Wang An and Lu Hong see it very clearly, but even Li Su himself understands that now the steel and other resources he needs can be purchased from Datang, but this is not a long-term solution, as an independent force, he must establish a sound national industrial system, of which steel is the top priority.

At the beginning, Wang An also mentioned to Li Su that he wanted to build a steel plant here in Samhanzhou, after all, there is coal and iron ore here, and it is also close to Dengzhou, so he can establish a steel base that can meet Li Su's needs in a short time, but Li Su is very distrustful of the ancestors of the little stick in later generations, for fear that the advanced steel production technology will be learned by the ancestors of the little stick, which will bring trouble to his rule, so he was rejected by Li Su.

However, Wang An did not give up on this, and after taking charge of Nansan Hanzhou with Lu Hong, after understanding the situation of the three states, he finally formulated such a relocation plan, moving all the people of South Korea to the other two states, and strictly prohibiting them from returning to South Korea, while the vacated South Korean state only allowed Han people to enter and exit, and moved craftsmen from the country to establish a steel factory, as the first steel base in the hands of Li Su.

After Li Su heard Wang An and Lu Hong's plan, he was also surprised at first, and establishing his own steel plant was also something he had wanted to do for a long time, but due to various reasons, he had not been able to find a suitable place, but he didn't expect Wang An and them to want to artificially create such a place.

However, if you think about it carefully, Li Su immediately found that Wang An and Lu Hong's plan is indeed very ingenious, South Korea is the closest to Dengzhou, and it is backed by the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, it is very convenient to relocate craftsmen and transport materials, and the coastline is long and narrow, as long as his navy is strong, it will not be lost here, so as long as the people in the state are moved, it is indeed a very good steel production base.

In addition, there is another point, that is, South Korea, that is, the original Baekje, has just gone through a big war, and the young and middle-aged people in the state have been killed and injured countless times, and after recruitment, there are only some old, weak, sick and disabled left, so there is no fear of any chaos at all.

It was precisely because of the above considerations that Li Su finally agreed to this migration plan. And when the news spread throughout South Korea through the government at all levels, the reaction of the people was also as Wang An analyzed, although most of the people were dissatisfied, but for the sake of the double land, there was no excessive reaction, and a small number of people had a tough attitude and refused to move no matter what, but what was waiting for them was the enforcement of the government at all levels.

Of course, there are also a very small number of people who want to take this opportunity to encourage the people to rebel, but it is a pity that for the people who have just gone through a big war, no one is willing to pick up swords and guns again, not to mention that since Li Su ruled here, many workers have been recruited, so that many families have a full meal, and these workers are in the hands of Li Su, equivalent to hostages, if someone in their family dares to rebel, the people who go out to work will definitely not be able to save their lives, so no matter how those people agitate, but in the end there are few responders, even if they reluctantly launched an uprising, in the end, it was quickly extinguished by Li Su's army, and there was no suspense at all.
