When Fang Guangchen and Zhang Degui heard Yang Zhen speaking to them so seriously, they both knew that the matter was of great importance and immediately stood up and received the order.

Among them, Zhang Degui hesitated for a moment after receiving the order, and then asked: "Captain, where should the first batch of immigrants be resettled after they leave Tuoji Island or North and South Chenghuang Island?"

When Zhang Degui asked this question, Yang Zhen naturally knew the meaning behind his words. He knew that he was still not sure whether the immigrants after quarantine were infected with the plague, so he smiled and said:

"Isolate for five days and quarantine twice. If you don't get sick, then there is no problem. You can resettle wherever you can."

Faced with Zhang Degui's question, Yang Zhen only gave them one big principle for them to grasp. But after saying this, he suddenly remembered something again, and then changed the topic and said:

"By the way, during the isolation and quarantine period, we cannot let them be idle. We must let them bathe in the sea twice a day. During the rest of the time, they will work on the island to build camps and houses for future immigrants!

"At the same time, ask Li Ji to join the immigration affairs you are responsible for, and ask his statistical office to go to Dengzhou Shuicheng, and also to the isolation and quarantine areas on Tuoji Island and North and South Chenghuang Islands, and ask his statistical office to send more

Manpower, be sure to do a good job of registering and counting all immigrants who cross the sea.

"The statistical office not only needs to know the number of immigrants, the number of households, and the number of households, but also the names, places of origin, ages, and skills they have, such as whether they have done bricklaying, carpentry, masonry, blacksmithing, etc., as an assistant

The camp office records households and divides them into villages, which is the basis for allocating land to people!"

Speaking of this, Yang Zhen said to Fang Guangchen: "Fang Consultation, you and Li Ji's statistics office will be responsible for handling this matter. You must count carefully and register each one. This is the household registration of all immigrants in Jinhai Town!

"

Fang Guangchen knew that this matter was very important as soon as he heard it. He was also very happy when he saw that Yang Zhen had entrusted him with such an important task, allowing him to intervene in the affairs of the Statistics Office. He immediately received the order and said:

"That's exactly what happened. The governor thought carefully. In this way, before the immigrants leave Tuoji Island and North and South Chenghuang Islands to go north, we can divide them into villages and issue vouchers, with 300 households as one village.

Ask them to take boats to various defense areas to directly divide the fields and land, and temporarily assign them to each defense area for use!"

"Temporarily distributed to various defense zones for use?"

When he heard what Fang Guangchen said, he agreed with the first one, but only the last one made him hesitate.

The immigrants who were recruited, the farmland that would be reclaimed in the future, the food that would be grown, and the people who were stationed in various places were all things that Yang Zhen hoped to have in his hands.

If they were scattered so easily and could not be recovered in the future, and became the private settlements of various generals, then it would be against their original intentions.

However, just when Yang Zhen hesitated, Fang Guangchen obviously saw Yang Zhen's worries. He smiled and said to Yang Zhen:

"Everything in the world is bustling for the sake of profit, and the world is bustling for the sake of going away. Although there is a lofty principle in connecting with righteousness, it is more practical to connect with profit. If the governor wants to immigrate to settle the land,

Great achievements can be made quickly, only if sharing benefits others, and sharing benefits others, then everyone and I will prosper together.

"The reason why a governor is able to win the loyalty and following of all the officers and men under his command is not only due to the great righteousness bestowed upon him by the emperor, and not only because he is wise and decisive and wins many battles, but also because he is a human being and is well versed in the principle of giving credit to his subordinates.

The matter of immigration is quite similar to the matter of military merit."

After Fang Guangchen said these words, he looked at Yang Zhen. He believed that Yang Zhen could understand the reason.

In fact, Yang Zhen certainly understands this truth. The reason why he has some doubts about doing this is because he is worried that all parties in Jinhai Town will once again embark on the path of war.

If the immigrants are placed under the control of various generals and asked to manage them, to be drafted as soldiers and to collect grain from them as wages, they may become new warlords in the future.

Yang Zhen doesn't want his Jinhai Town to end up like the former Dongjiang Town.

But he also knew that the immigration and reclamation matter could not be delayed, and if he wanted to get it done quickly and well, given the current situation, he could only do what Fang Guangchen said.

Because only by assigning the immigrants to various generals to manage them, the generals will have greater motivation to accept the immigrants and allocate fields to them within their own jurisdiction.

Why did the Eight Banners of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have such a strong desire to fight and their fighting power was so amazing before entering the customs? It was because most of the things they grabbed from the battlefield, whether it was gold, silver, wealth, or people and horses, belonged to themselves.

Especially the population, whichever Niulu snatches back more, the strength of which Niulu will grow rapidly, and the population snatched back will become slaves that each Niulu can divide privately.

Of course Yang Zhen didn't want to take this road. He hoped that after all immigrants arrived in Jinhai Town, they would be divided into fields and become normal households with equal status as everyone else.

As long as they serve as soldiers in wartime and pay with food in peacetime, that's enough. Yang Zhen doesn't want them to become slaves of any general, including his own.

Of course, Yang Zhen did not want to see these new immigrants being distributed like cutting cakes, and eventually becoming the personal tribe of a certain general.

However, what Fang Guangchen said does make some sense, and if Yang Zhen's somewhat idealistic immigration plan is followed, then we really don't know how long it will take to resettle enough immigrants.

"Captain, in an emergency, you should do extraordinary things, and this arrangement is only temporary. First, mobilize the enthusiasm of all walks of life to accommodate immigrants and expand their strength.

"One day, when the time is right, for example, when the Governor's expedition against the Dongping captives is completed, only one order will be needed to clarify the ownership of the immigrants in Jinhai Town. Who will dare to object then? If the Governor is worried, the matter can be handed over to Guangchen!

"

Seeing that Fang Guangchen was talking about this, Yang Zhen naturally could no longer hesitate. Although he knew that doing so now might leave hidden dangers in the future, in order to quickly complete the immigration and settlement matter, he could only

Did this first.

"Okay, in that case, Brother Ting Xian, you, Lao Zhang, and Li Ji will have a good discussion and divide the immigrants into households on the quarantine island, and distribute them directly to each group for placement in their own villages.

The jurisdiction is temporarily under their jurisdiction.

"As for the resettlement location, we must first go to the outer islands, and then move forward from south to north. There are three hundred households in a village. After the quarantine is over, one will be compiled and a ship will be sent out.

"Build more of the big islands and less of the middle islands. The small islands can be assigned to the big islands and the middle islands, but they cannot be left idle. An island with the size of Changxing Island on the North Road is a big island and can be assigned to three to five villages.

Like Shicheng Island, Guanglu Island, even Zhongdao, one or two villages can be allocated."

Regarding such a problem, Yang Zhen can only talk about it so far. If he had to rely on himself to plan and design everything, he would be exhausted and would not be able to finish it.

When Fang Guangchen, Zhang Degui and Yue Qijie saw Yang Zhen talking about this issue, they all understood that Yang Zhen must have been thinking about recruiting people to colonize and enrich Jinhai Town for a long time.

At that moment, these people no longer had any doubts and all agreed to Yang Zhen's arrangement.

Yue Qijie was also very happy when he managed to get things done when he first met Yang Zhen. Not only did he thank Yang Zhen profusely on the spot, but he also regarded Yang Zhen as a good general who could save the world, and even someone who could save the world and bring peace to the people.

Minister.

Everyone in the guesthouse in Jinhai Town finished discussing the matter of emigrating from Dengzhou. Yang Zhen finally let go of a major matter in his heart, so he asked Yue Qijie to go back to rest, so that he could take a boat back to Dengzhou early the next morning.

Fang Guangchen and Zhang Degui were left to continue the discussion.

Of course, the resettlement and reclamation matter was basically settled. All that was left was to ask Fang Guangchen to draft the order, and then Yang Zhen signed it and sent it to the Associate Camp Affairs Office to notify all parties of the implementation of the order.

And this time Fang Guangchen returned to Lushunkou and brought back not only Yue Qijie, but also a lot of news from western Liaoning and the capital.

And these news need to be reported to Yang Zhen as soon as possible.

After Yang Zhen led everyone to send Yue Qijie to the guest room at the back to rest, Yang Zhen, Fang Guangchen, and Zhang Degui turned around and returned to Fang Guangchen's room. They asked people to remove the food and replace it with refreshing tea, and then continued talking.

"Captain, this time Guangchen was ordered to escort Li Shutai to Shanhaiguan. My father also ordered the military department to allocate personnel to interrogate Li Shutai. Haha, everyone in the branch felt like they had found a treasure. Before Guangchen left, my father had already written

The memorial has been sent to the capital. I believe that good news will come to the capital in the near future!"

Fang Guangchen first talked about the progress of an errand assigned to him by Yang Zhen before, and then said excitedly: "When I returned to Lushunkou yesterday, I heard that the governor had achieved a great victory in the north, and had won the Manchu Raoyu Commandery King Abatai and Manchu.

The Tatar Han army has returned from Gushan'erzhen Li Bayan's head. The governor can write a victory report about this capture and deliver it across the sea. Haha, a huge reward from the court is in sight again!"

Yang Zhen was very happy after hearing this, and immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Brother Ting Xian, if you want to make a difference in your official career, this is your chance. I can directly report your achievements to the court.

Thanks for your credit, I will make you a serious court official!"

"Haha, the governor is joking. Guangchen has great plans for the future of the governor. At present, an official career is not what Guangchen is interested in!"

Faced with Yang Zhen's joke, Fang Guangchen quickly smiled and denied the idea of ​​asking for credit. Then he changed the topic and said to Yang Zhen:
Chapter completed!
