Chapter 106: Dragon Plan 20: Population, Population
Three days later, Timur arrived in Guangzhou City with a large number of warships.
"Your Highness"
I am making a report in my own way.
"All the Green Camp soldiers in the city, Yongzi Camp, surrendered, and the whole city resisted stubbornly. After being captured by our army, the Green Camp soldiers and the surrendered soldiers of Yongzi Camp killed one person, but the families of the main officials inside and outside the city were retained"
"It's done well," Timur said, "Remember, we are Truqin thieves and do not want to occupy this city, and we don't need to give them favors"
Nian nodded and continued: "There are tens of thousands of gangs mainly composed of the Hong Gang to the west of the Pearl River Estuary. After several days of identification, some real gang gangs in Yumao Village were executed, and only those who truly practice Hongquan and are determined to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty were retained. There were 5,000 young and strong plans"
"There is another Qiankun Club here, which is said to be controlled by the government and has killed all its main backbones. Behind Qiankun Club is the secret agency of the Qing court, but unfortunately no one was caught"
"Where is Ha Tu?"
"Not found, this person is extremely smart. When the explosion sounded, he must have realized that Guangzhou City had been controlled by our army and obviously would not run to the city. Yu Mubu led his people to search the entire west bank of the Pearl River Estuary and found nothing."
Omubu continued: "Zhaoqing Prefecture is the Governor General of Guangdong and Guangxi. If the Ministry of Justice guesses well, he will probably have gone there."
"Don't worry about him, I will keep talking about you after being selfless"
"Yes. In the past few days, with the assistance of the gang, the population in the city has been identified. Needless to say, the inner city is left, only the weak, women and children, and there are 20,000 young women"
"The gold and silver were found from the inner city, which was equivalent to about 5 million taels, most of which were hidden in the General's Mansion"
"The outer city has a large population, and most of them exist in shops, car shops, gangs, government offices, and workshops, with a total of more than 600,000, of which the poor people are about 500,000"
"Shisanhang has great relations, so we dare not make decisions without authorization, but we also counted the population and property in advance"
"Oh?"
"The thirteen corpses have a population of about 10,000, and there are about 9,000 people in addition to the master's family, servants, servants, maids, housekeepers, and servants."
"Properties..."
Speaking of this, Nian Forgotten's face suddenly shone with brilliance.
"There are nearly three million taels in the silver cellar of the Pan family in the first business and the Wenxing, and the other twelve families have a total of nearly ten million taels. Officials at all levels have also found about two million taels"
"The Guangzhou Prefectural Office, Nanhai County, Panyu County, Censorate Office, General Office, Navy Admiral Office, Xuegong Office, School Admiral Office, Administration Office, and other important yamen include more than 300 officials of all sizes and sizes"
"Their family, slaves, etc. have more than 5,000 people"
"We have recruited ten thousand young men from the poorest families from the city. They are neither slaves nor yamen runners, but apprentices, students, small vendors, etc."
"Student?"
"Yes, Your Highness, there are currently thousands of scholars in the colleges near the Wenwu Gong Academy in the provincial capital, and many of them failed the exams. Gong Academy is the location of a provincial provincial examination. In addition to supervising academic and political affairs offices, officials at all levels of the Academic Affairs Office also have the responsibility of visiting talents and teaching talents"
"The salary of the School and Political Department is limited, so these officials often teach in nearby government-run, private, or joint-run students to obtain additional income"
"Then you recruited is naturally from the Martial Arts Academy?"
"Yes, but there are also a few people from the Literature Academy, who are poor teenagers with no homes. Many fail to pass the exams repeatedly, but they are all over 25 years old. We recruit all those under 20 years old."
"In addition to those who have made enemies with Qing officials, such as the surrendered Green Camp soldiers, the Yongzi camp, and those who have struggled to survive, most of them are unwilling to follow us"
"Didn't you tell them about going to Southeast Asia?"
"I said it, so there were more people, most of them were hidden prisoners, and the surrounding mountainous counties had too few fields to come out to work"
"In addition to about 5,000 Yongzi camps, 1,000 green camp soldiers, and 10,000 households we recruited, at most 10,000 households willing to go to sea, totaling about 10,000"
“What about other places?”
"Naturally, Foshan Town has the largest population, with almost 100,000 households and 500,000 people, most of which exist in the industry, mining, commerce, and catering and entertainment industries."
"By the way, Foshan is an important iron smelting town in Guangdong. There are 70,000 to 80,000 people rely on this industry. Of course, many small industries are divided into them, and there are also those who assist the government in casting artillery and muskets."
"There are many other textiles, ceramics, bulk goods such as medicinal materials, wood, grain, etc., and there are tens of thousands of shops, and the largest ones are estimated to be thousands"
"We have counted it, and Xiao Zhou is familiar with it. There are about 60,000 households and 300,000 people who are actually engaged in the industry and mining industry, commerce and trade industry. The rest are all based on these two major industries."
"There are about 30,000 households and about 200,000 people engaged in these two major industries"
"Most of them are apprentices. They are all from home who cannot support their land and come to make a living. In other words, there are about 300,000 people in the two places who are from farmers who change to apprentices in the middle of the journey."
"Now, the Guangzhou General and the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi arrived at the east gate and north gate of the city with eight thousand men. They all set up camp in the distance. Since we have controlled their families and showed them on the wall, they dare not attack the city immediately."
Timur nodded, and instead of giving an order immediately, he asked, "What about your opinions?"
Nian Wanger said: "The Ministry of Justice recommends that all the families who are willing or forced to surrender to us will be moved to the near Hong Kong Island for resettlement. This is also a lot, and there are more than 100,000 in total. I'm afraid it will not be resettled at one time."
"By the way, our army found grain warehouses in Guangzhou and Foshan. The grain shops found that the grain was all rice, including hulled rice and ground rice. Especially the grain warehouses at all levels in the provincial capital have millions of stones, which can meet the needs of 200,000 people in a year."
"As for the Thirteenth Front, the Ministry of Justice recommends that it donate some silver to our army. This is the only trading port in the Qing Dynasty. The annual trade volume is astonishing. Our country also needs to buy tea and other things from here..."

Timur nodded and looked at Su Wenying.
Su Wenying said: "The Ministry of Justice has discussed with General Nian before, and this is almost the same."
Omubu said: "The Ministry of the Ministry's suggestion is to transport more people. Now our army has three squadrons, including twelve Tengjis. In addition, the twenty wooden Tengjis sent by His Majesty recently, there are thirty-two"
"Each ship can carry three thousand people, and once, one thousand households have also squeezed them out. Thirty-two ships are 32,000 households, and more than one hundred thousand people"
"At present, our country has firmly controlled West Bengal, where grain production is abundant, and the annual grain tax paid is enough to support 500,000 people, that is, 100,000 families"
"I suggest that some people can be transported to Bangladesh in the name of Southeast Asia to temporarily resettlement, and after the next ship from the kingdom arrives, they can be transported back together"
Timur did not comment, and finally looked at Zhou Jixun. After what happened to Omubu and Zhou Jixun, he is now increasingly dependent on intelligence personnel.
"Your Highness", Zhou Jixun said, "The Ministry of Justice does not need to pay attention to that many. The 300,000 apprentices can be taken away. When you arrive in our country, you will continue to engage in industry and mining, and there will be 100,000 commerce and trade."
"There are 200,000 households behind the other 200,000 people, all converted into farmers"
"It can be transported to Bangladesh in batches, and at the same time, recruiting people willing to leave the place in the vast countryside. In addition to bringing these 300,000 families over, it can also be recruited in the name of giving home settlement fees in advance"
"The five million taels of silver in the city can be used in these places. If each household gives 50 taels, it can meet the needs of 100,000 households, and fifty taels of silver will be enough to settle down temporarily."
"As long as you get on the boat, no matter where he goes, you can just transport it to Truchen"
A smile appeared on Timur's face.
"What about Guangzhou City?"
"Your Highness, our country has completely controlled the docks and the water surface. The Qing army can only come from other sides. Whether it is Yongwei or Li Shiyao, they dare not attack the city immediately or give up on this city. So they can only waste their time with us. We have millions of stones of food, but they need to urgently recruit other prefectures and counties"
"Of course, we can recruit from Zhaoqing Prefecture, but the most convenient way from there is the Xijiang Waterway, and the waterway must be controlled in the hands of our army. Therefore, the Ministry of Justice estimates that it will not take too long, and they will scatter birds and beasts."
"They will release the elite troops of the 10,000 brave battalions, deep ditches and high bases, and build two camps dominated by the Eight Banners of Manchuria and Green Camp soldiers to confront us. This will take a few more days."
"At this time, the Hong Gang people will be guarded in the city. At most, our army will dispatch a regiment to assist them, and at the same time train the 10,000 new recruits in the city."
"They cannot dominate the water, so they can't do anything to our country's Hong Kong Island and Kowloon Peninsula. If they can come and attack this city day and night, they may be able to capture it within half a year."
"But based on their communications, decision-making speed, and mobilizing people from all sides to come here, it is probably another half a year later."
"So, they can only recover this city in about a year at the earliest"
"They are already at sea and suffer a great loss on the road. Will they still do this? I think it's difficult, so the final outcome is negotiations. Then I will put the land and population in the negotiation conditions."
"Very good!" Timur slapped the table, "I think what Xiao Zhou said is the most appropriate. First of all, I have limited time to wait. Although I have the advantage in all aspects, I am working on other people's territory after all, but there are hundreds of millions of people behind them, and it seems that it is still not easy to deal with in the long run."
"What Xiao Zhou said is exactly what I thought. My goal for the past six months this year is to transport 200,000 households to Bangladesh in batches, and then transport them to the local area in batches!"
"I have calculated that the road from here to Bangladesh is about 8,000 miles, and the average speed of our ships is at least forty miles, which is 800 miles a day, and it will arrive in ten days. If you leave it at Hongji Port, Singapore's supply time will arrive in at most fifteen days."
"In this way, you can run back and forth in a month, 30 ships at a time, 30 ships at a time, and 180,000 houses in half a year. On the way, there will definitely be a large number of Tengjis coming here. It will be no problem to complete the migration of 200,000 houses within half a year!"
"As for the Thirteen Lines, we will take ten million taels"
"Your Highness!"
"It's okay, I guess that after this incident, the Qing court will definitely close Guangzhou Port or turn the port to the north, not..."
