Chapter 481 Set sail

"By the first day of July, the three provinces outside the pass will have all households, and the household registration and cultivated land after land measurement is as follows..."

"The East China Sea Province has 53,432 households, 246,209 people, 297,643 acres of cultivated land, all the cooked land has been distributed, and the food is abundant ten

About ten thousand stones.”

"There are 178,697 households in Modong Province, with a population of 715,000 people, and arable land of 1,964,309 mu, and a grain shortage of about 3 million stones."

"Beishan Province has 31,327 households, 132,793 people, 416,527 mu of cultivated land, and a grain shortage of 1,200,000 stones.

about."

"In addition, Liaodong..."

"Including Liaodong, the population of the four northeastern provinces is 8894,329 people, the number of cultivated land is 36621,742 mu, and the food shortage is about one

More than 1,300,000 stones.”

In mid-July, when Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Revenue, came to Changchun Hall with the latest data from the four provinces outside the pass, and reported to Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youjian had a rough understanding of the situation in the Northeast.

"However, the four provinces have more than 800 million mu of pastures, which is enough to raise tens of millions of cattle, sheep and horses. If the meat is provided properly, the food gap may drop to six million stones."

Bi Ziyan told the situation in the Northeast one by one, and when Zhu Youjian heard this, he leaned on his chair and replied:

"In other words, according to the average yield of one mu of seven dou of rice in the four northeastern provinces, the National Dynasty still needs to reclaim at least nine million mu of arable land to meet local needs and make it self-sufficient?"

"It's..." Bi Ziyan bowed and returned, while Zhu Youjian calculated the account after hearing this.

Yang Wenyue was still admiring Kim Hyun, but Kim Hyun bowed and asked him.

In other words, the old port areas are both agricultural areas in the northeast and southwest, and the pass will serve as a population export site to these three places and the vassal states.

"The land that the tractor intensively cultivates can be cultivated after it is cultivated. If it is true, then more than 16,000 of them, with the support of Yingzhou, will probably develop soon."

"The money owed to the Financial Department doesn't need to be paid back. The Ministry of Revenue will manage its own taxes."

Of course, this forced migration is not free, but a certain number of tractors will be distributed based on the village collective.

"Qi State Chief Jin Xuan, meet with the governor, General Yang..."

"Besides, the industrial zone is under construction every day, and next year, there will be only two thousand, but the year after tomorrow may be four thousand, and the year after tomorrow will be six thousand!"

Seeing this, Zhu Youjian also spoke, "You are right, but I have my own considerations."

However, when he withdrew from Changchun Palace, the more than 3,600 tractors that were in the conversation between them did indeed successfully arrive at Yingzhou Port under the escort of naval ships.

They all knew very well that distributing tractors was indeed a way to throw money to the people, and each person spent several taels of money, which was equivalent to their daily wages for several months.

"Encourt Yang Bu, how about the current situation of arable land in Beizhou Prefecture?"

"In addition, the tractors also have to be queued up. The people who moved north moved in groups of ten households and twenty groups moved into a village, and the tractors were supplied from north to south."

"If they want to go to labor reform, then our pressure will be greatly reduced."

"If this continues, even if the labor reform workers will calm down a lot after the autumn harvest, the grain in Yingzhou will at most let them eat until May of the next year, and there will probably be a large rebellion."

"This..." Bi Ziyan was stunned when he heard Zhu Youjian say that one unit of ten households was one unit, and immediately bowed and said, "Is one unit of ten households too many?"

"Starting next year, one-third of the tractors will be transported to Qi State, one-third will be transported to Beishan, and the remaining one-third will be sent to the people who have moved to the three provinces outside the pass."

There were no ups and downs along the way. When they arrived at Dongji Port it was July 19th, and Yang Wenyue was already waiting quietly at the wharf with his own 1,000 troops and 10,000 labor reform workers.

For the Ming Dynasty's GDP, this more than 10 million taels, which is only one-three or four hundred percent, is not enough to disrupt the market economy. After all, the Ming Dynasty accounts for two or three percent of the newborns every year.

.

"Jin Hyun and the others will set off today and will arrive in Qi State in mid-October at most."

Such things are smashed by the people, and they are smashed by the landlords, but the Ming Dynasty cannot smashed by the landlords.

The more north it is, the harder it is to cultivate. The tractors are the first to provide the people who are relying on the north, so that they can be self-sufficient as soon as possible and pay taxes to the court.

A general bowed and replied, and Jin Hyun nodded with satisfaction when he heard this.

It was said that it was a Mansion and Port, but in fact, it was just a simple camp and dock built by only 2,000 people in the area.

Watching the fleet leave, Yang Wenyue caresses his beard and says nothing more. He just waits for the fleet to completely disappear before he gets on the carriage back home.

"In addition to the twelfth lunar month, each of them will have two fleets to travel to Qi in May next year. According to my estimate, I am afraid that Qi's demand for labor reform workers in Yingzhou will gradually increase."

To put it bluntly, Qi State needs such decisive people. The so-called upward and downward effectiveness is. If the person who builds Qi State is a person who first talks about mercy and discusses favors in everything, then the same is true for Qi State.

Yang Bingwen was promoted to the General of Jingzhao of Qi, so before Huang Long went to Qi, he was the first military general of Qi.

When Bi Ziyan heard this, he did not say anything, but bowed.

However, considering his ability, if he really had a different mindset, he might be defeated by Kim Hyun on the battlefield.

Here, machines wrapped in oil cloth appeared in front of him. Jin Hyun asked someone to untie one and looked at it, nodded from time to time, and turned around and asked the two generals behind him:

"Did the craftsman bring it?"

"Is General Yang ready?"

When he returned home, Cao Dingjiao had been waiting for a long time.

"Let's do this..." Zhu Youjian thought about it and prepared some policies to attract the people of Liaodong Province to go north.

Thinking of this, Jin Hyun also turned his attention to the labor reform workers and Yang Bingwen who were boarding the ship.

In this way, the construction of Qi State will eliminate many interpersonal exchanges and become a place for rigorous work.

The tractor is produced in the imperial shop, and this is for repair. Therefore, for the landlord, a tractor of one thousand taels can be earned in only twenty-five years.

"Your Highness, will you transfer all the tractors to the four northeastern provinces and move them according to what you said?"

However, this is the ideal situation. Because the large population of the four northeastern provinces is essentially concentrated in Liaodong, we must increase the efforts to reclaim the people in Liaodong.

Jin Hyun knew that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy, so after the simple supply was over, he ordered people to set sail and headed towards the Dongji Port in the north with a huge fleet of hundreds of ships.

Cao Dingjiao did not go to greet Jin Xuan because he had arranged something else by Yang Wenyue, and this matter was the suppression of the labor reform rebellion.

"I heard that there are tens of millions of bisons in Qi State, and there are these meat foods. I'm afraid Jin Hyun himself knows how to manage labor reform."

In other words, pure manpower development requires at least 15 million mu of acres because the yield per mu of newly reclaimed fields is not enough.

Bi Ziyan suddenly opened his mouth, causing Zhu Youjian to frown slightly.

Under the afterglow of the sunset, the sound of wind chimes at the port of "Dingling" continued to ring, and this huge fleet gradually left the dock under the gaze of Yang Wenyue and others and headed towards the known waterway.

Yang Bingwen's personality is a bit indecisive, so Yang Wenyue feels that under Jin Xuan, Yang Bingwen may be able to get rid of his personality shortcomings.

"If the officials did not find coal in time, they would probably have to buy a lot of coal from Yingzhou. Therefore, the officials wanted Yang Buzheng to intercept some of the coal. Of course, the officials of these coals would pay with gold and silver, and there would be no shortage in the accounts.

of."

Only when the tractor is always used outside the barrier can it bring positive benefits to the Ming Dynasty, and vice versa.

"It's okay, it's okay to be tired for Your Highness and the Ming Dynasty." Jin Hyun didn't feel any headache.

Seeing this, Yang Bingwen could only bow and take a few steps back, then turn around and leave.

Seeing trucks of grain transported to the ship, Jin Hyun also remembered the fuel problem of the steam engine and bowed:

They will go to Qi under Yang Bingwen's leadership, but the arrival time will be later than expected, and it is estimated that they will not arrive at Kinmen Port in Jingzhao Prefecture in mid-October.

Bi Ziyan told Zhu Youjian about this in advance and continued after saying:

Zhu Youjian did not frown because of his personal reasons, and felt that Bi Ziyan was not saying it well, but that Bi Ziyan also proposed this when he knew that Qi needed a tractor and that the tractor had been transferred to Qi.

The proposal actually means that he does not want Zhu Youjian to go to Qi State, and that he wants to slow down the construction of Qi State.

Yang Wenyue thought of Sun Chuanting and couldn't help but feel a little confused for a moment. It was not until all the labor workers got on the boat and Yang Bingwen walked back to the two of them that he came back to his senses.

He walked back and forth between the warehouse with two participating generals, and after seeing all the more than 600 tractors in the warehouse of this ship, they returned to the deck with satisfaction.

Under the gaze of Yang Wenyue and Yang Bingwen, Jin Hyun walked down the boat ladder and came to the two of them and bowed:

To put it bluntly, these 10,000 labor reform workers are only responsible for mining raw materials. I guess the third battalion of Qi will need to do it themselves in the early stage.

If you smash it to the landlord, some tenants will lose their jobs because a tractor can easily plow 300 acres of land in half a month. If you use manpower, the 300 acres of land will require at least 50 to 100 people.

.

"Jin Changshi..." The two bowed and returned, but Jin Hyun did not say anything polite. Instead, he looked at the soldiers and labor reform workers on the dock, and then asked:

These things, plus the dozens of industrial steam engines on the ship, Jin Xuan could build cement, iron smelting and metallurgy factories in Qi State in the shortest time.

Therefore, when Kim Hyun took the ship to dock, Yang Wenyue, who greeted Kim Hyun with Yang Bingwen, touched her beard and said:

"Jin Hyun is a man who knows about military affairs. You can ask him if you don't understand anything."

Yingzhou Port is very lively at this moment. More than 6,000 troops from the two battalions of guards from Shangzhi were constantly transporting supplies and materials on board. The most important of these were grain, coal and freshwater.

"They have ten thousand labor reform workers and the third battalion of troops. Even if the battalion of troops who were the advance team retreated, they still have more than 6,000 people."

If the place is not selected correctly, it will be a disaster for the people.

Therefore, if a tractor is sold within the customs, then how many tractors it produces will be fifty times, and a hundred times the number of people who are eliminated.

It's very simple. Three people add a tractor and add a few taels of silver a year to cultivate 300 acres of arable land. At most, people need to be hired for harvesting. By this calculation, the landlord can save at least forty taels of silver.
