The streets of Penglai County are more lively than most places in the Ming Dynasty. Only a few big cities such as Shangjing, Liaoyang, Dalian, Manzhouli, or new cities with obvious location advantages can be compared.

According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Revenue, the registered population of Penglai County has reached 400,000, of which 150,000 people in the city and 250,000 in the villages and towns outside the city. Including the migrant population from various places who come to Penglai County to do business and work, the permanent population of urban areas has reached more than 200,000.

At its peak, the permanent population of Penglai County was only about 200,000. Now, less than a year after being incorporated into the Ming Dynasty, it has returned to its heyday during the Jin Dynasty's rule. It can be said that the governor of Shandong and the prefect of Dengzhou have made an indelible contribution.

When Ulutus looked at the clean streets and the people who were greeting each other on both sides of the street, he was quite satisfied with the local Shandong officials led by Wang Xuanling. Although there were flaws, the flaws were generally not concealed.

However, Wang Xuanling was completely confused by the commendation of Ulutus. He knew that Dengzhou could recover to this in just nearly a year, which was inseparable from the support of the Ming court. Just the money and food support for refugee resettlement allowed Shandong Province to gain huge demographic dividends.

In addition, there are commercial and tax support, which has allowed the business in Penglai County to develop rapidly. Especially with the convenience of shipping connections with Dalian Port, a huge amount of commercial goods were transported from the Ming Dynasty to Penglai County for transit, and then continued to flow into the ruling areas of Hebei, Jin and Song.

There are also various workshops built and opened in the city, allowing many refugees and local people to obtain employment opportunities, so that they can support their families and gain a foothold in the city.

Similarly, with the development of business, the low prices in the city are also rising.

Fortunately, the government made preparations in advance, imitating model cities such as Shangjing, Dalian and Liaoyang, using the vacant houses and vacant areas in the city to renovate rental houses. The government came forward and provided centrally, greatly ensuring the housing requirements of new households.

At the same time, there have been targeted plans for the workshop. Not only will it provide tax subsidies, but it will also provide certain discounts on the leased land. This is also an important condition for most workshops to open branches in Penglai.

The development of a city often has a chain effect. The most obvious thing is that it was not originally connected to Penglai County, and there was also a large area of ​​docks distributed in the middle, which was completely connected to the city wall.

Just like Dalian City, an official road connecting the urban area has become the development aorta between the wharf area and the urban area. A large number of warehouses are built near the official road, which has led to the construction of various commercial banks such as food, clothing, housing and transportation.

As so many people gather together, the fruits and vegetables consumed every day is another astronomical figure. Agriculture, which mainly supplies urban areas, has also developed immediately, such as vegetable and fruit planting and captive animal husbandry, all of which are quite large near Penglai County.

This undoubtedly increased the income of many rural people and made many people live better than during the Jin Dynasty. This real change that happened to them greatly promoted the people's sense of identity with the Ming Dynasty.

Although their king was a Mongolian prince, this place was not ruled by foreign races. As long as they could live a good life, have enough food, have clothes and wear, and don’t freeze to death, that would be enough.

If you want more, you're crazy.

The Han people who are good at arable land have always been the best rule. They are not afraid of being a cattle and horse for the landlords and governments above. As long as they can ensure that they have a bite of food and can barely survive, it is a blessing.

But in the middle and late stages of a dynasty, this is difficult to guarantee. So the people who were forced to survive could only rise up and push a dynasty into the abyss.

The Ming Dynasty did not have land, but only people who cultivated land. Therefore, for the Han people who were good at farming, they all took their own needs. Although there was a prerequisite for being away from their hometown and leaving their hometown, in order to survive, it was not so difficult to leave their hometown.

The ancient people attached so much importance to their hometowns, but the fundamental reason was that population migration in ancient times was a gamble. Among them, the government that should have been provided was a hand-off manager, and they didn't care about how the people who immigrated to the Xinjiang territory gained a foothold in the local area. The deaths and injuries and sufferings brought about have become fears deeply imprinted in their bones.

In addition, the people of this era are limited to one acre of three-point land by the rulers. If you want to go outside to see the world, it is almost impossible without a road guide. Most people instinctively distrust and fear about unknown things. Therefore, as long as you can survive and see a little hope, the people will not easily leave their home too far.

Fortunately, all this became fragmented with the arrival of the turbulent era. The Mongols went south to cause the entire Central Plains to continue to move. The original confinement of the people's personal freedom from the government immediately failed. With the killings and butchers' knives and the hunger brought by war, more people left their familiar homeland and went to the unfamiliar and confused New South Wales Prefecture.

Although they were all forced, the people's horizons were undoubtedly opened. The unfamiliar outside world is no longer the place where people are devoured with beasts full of prehistoric beasts, but new hopes that may be contained.

Under the impact of such a torrent of thought, immigration became less difficult to accept. New immigrants who settled in Penglai, Dengzhou, and even Shandong Province quickly recognized the Ming Dynasty's government from the bottom of their hearts.

Now that Ulutus has come to inspect the Shandong Province, these new immigrants from Shandong Province are also very curious about what the nobles who have allowed them to survive the cold winter and live to this day. Is it like the legendary one, like the gods who came down to earth from heaven. Especially in the Ming Dynasty, there have been rumors that Ulutus is their god, shaman, passed down from generation to generation, which makes many people more convinced.

Otherwise, how could he be so kind and save so many poor people like them who are careless and have no food and clothing.

Unfortunately, the curtain of Ulutus only opened a gap, so many people couldn't see clearly what the people inside looked like. In addition, whenever the carriage went, the people had to perform a thousand-year ceremony, so almost no one could witness the majesty of the king.
