Chapter 580 Two big victories, a good start to the new year!
On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head, and the time entered February. The spring in the north began to arrive slowly. Zhu Youjian in Beijing finally received the news that the navy had captured the city of Relanja occupied by the Dutch. There were more than 3,000 Dutch guards in the city.
Under the leadership of the governor, the army surrendered to the Ming Navy.
The recovery of the city of Relanja is definitely good news in a timely manner, because it will not disrupt the previously planned immigration strategy. If the time delay is longer, the refugees from the Central Plains will have to find a way to resettle in the north.
.For farmers, the whole year’s plan starts with spring. If they haven’t settled down yet in spring, they will definitely feel confused.
Spring is not the best time to start immigration work in the north. With the current transportation conditions, it will take two or three months to move tens of thousands of people there. After moving there, reclaiming the wasteland, no matter how well organized it is, will not be possible.
It cannot catch up with this year's spring plowing, which means that one year is wasted. If you want to generate income, at least it will be next year. But it is different with the senior officials. Even if the task of 50,000 immigrants is completed in May and June, it will not be possible this year.
They can grow a crop of food in a hurry. In other words, if the immigration cycle in the north is calculated as three years, the immigration cycle in the southeast such as Taiyuan Island is only two years at most.
In two years, the immigrants on Da Yuan Island will be able to settle down and take root. This is the core demand that Zhu Youjian pays special attention to to restore Da Yuan.
"There is a new atmosphere in the new year. In the first month of this year, there is constant good news. The navy has recovered the Kazuto stronghold on Taiyuan Island. There is also good news from Guihua City. Xiong Tycoon and the others are coming to attack
The Jungar people intercepted Shuofang to the west of Guihua City, causing them to lose more than 20,000 soldiers and horses, and fled back to Mobei in embarrassment. These two good news can be said to be a good start for this year.
"Zhu Youjian summoned Wu Sheng, Song Yingsheng, Ma Shiying and others in the office to discuss the development of various tasks this year.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty and the Ming Dynasty. If we can start the new year with two good news, everything will go well for the country this year." Several cabinet ministers stood up from their small seats and said a few compliments to the emperor.
"Take a seat first! As soon as Taiwan is liberated, the immigration work planned before must be stepped up. There are currently more than 100,000 immigrants stranded in Beizhi and Shandong. We must move 40,000 to 50,000 to Da Yuan before June.
, most of the rest need to be resettled in Beizhi and Shandong. The immigration in Liaodong will stop temporarily around April and start again after autumn."
"Your Majesty, wouldn't it be too easy to immigrate 40,000 to 50,000 people to thousands of miles away by sea in April and May?" Wu Sheng still had some reservations about the immigration of officials, mainly because he felt that the place was
The sky is high and the road is far away, it’s a bit too much work.
"As long as civilian ships are fully mobilized, it will not be difficult to transport 40,000 to 50,000 people. Now there are nearly a thousand large ships entering and exiting the ports of Tianjin and Shandong every month. If we give them some freight, it will not be a big deal to transport tens of thousands of people."
"I think that in order to increase the number of senior officials, we can definitely find a way from the southeast. In that case, the cost will be smaller, and there is no shortage of people in the southeast."
"Immigration not only has to settle small accounts, but also big accounts. Dajiang is a place where you can grow two or three crops a year. Wherever you go, you can get results in two years. Unlike the north, especially in Liaodong, it takes at least three years.
With the above, the people have taken root. From this point of view, even if the cost of immigrating to Dayuan is a little higher at the time, it is overall more cost-effective than immigrating to the north. In addition, those who went to Dayuan are all from Fujian.
If you immigrate, it is easy to form a group, which is not conducive to the overall control and governance of the imperial court. The senior officials are isolated overseas, but they are also the geographical hub for the Ming Dynasty to move towards the vast ocean, so the vision and layout must be long-term!"
"Your Majesty thinks deeply that I can't wait any longer. A faraway place like Dayuan is really not suitable for immigration from just one province. I just heard that the air in Zhangzhou on Dayuan Island is very strong. Will the immigrants from the north not be able to adapt to it?" Song Yingsheng has been living in the southeast for a long time.
As an official in this area, he had heard a bit about the situation of the senior officials. The area was not developed enough and had a smoky atmosphere, which would be a greater survival challenge for immigrants from the north, so he quickly reminded the emperor to prevent the emperor from making the wrong decision.
.
"The Smoke and Zhang Qi does have a great impact on immigrants, and I have some understanding of this. To immigrate to Dayuan, a certain number of doctors must be sent to the military hospital, and a hospital should be established there to control the Smoke and Zhang Qi.
Treat and prevent diseases caused by immigrants. Try to prevent the attrition of immigrants as much as possible. Health regulations must be formulated and implemented throughout the entire immigration process. Whether it is during transportation or on the immigration farm, people are strictly prohibited from drinking raw and cold water, going to the toilet, etc.
To be separated from the residential area, toilets must be standardized. New immigrant villages must be disinfected with quicklime to clean away mosquitoes. Immigrants must also have good hygiene habits, wash hands before meals and after using the toilet, and wash hands before departure.
Put the people into clean clothes, and their previous clothes must be washed and disinfected before they can be brought on board! In addition, the people must be equipped with more soap to wash their hands and be sure to use soap when washing clothes."
Zhu Youjian still doesn't know what the smoke and Zhang gas is, but he thinks it should be an infectious disease-causing factor formed by bacteria, microorganisms and viruses, as well as the body's immunity to the bacteria.
In ancient times, due to transportation restrictions, the immunity of people in different places was different. The hot and humid environment in the south made it easy for germs to survive. Northerners who did not have corresponding immune barrier protection were indeed very susceptible to diseases in the past.
However, by the Ming Dynasty, due to the long-term exchanges between people from the north and the south, the difference in immunity was not as big as before, and the impact of smoke and smoke was not so prominent. As long as the health work is done well, the impact should be minimized.
.
"Your Majesty, when it comes to military hospitals, I have my own account! Military hospitals have superb treatment methods and doctors have superb medical skills. People in the capital have come to several military hospitals in the city for treatment through various connections. I think it is better to open a special one
A hospital that treats people, so that ordinary people can also benefit from it, so as to relieve the regret that most people have no way to seek medical treatment?" After Ma Shiying heard the emperor mention military hospitals, he immediately said what he had always wanted to say.
Since time traveling, Zhu Youjian still attaches great importance to the military's medical system. After several years of development, he has established a military medical system and talent training model covering the entire army. However, in terms of popularizing medical care to the general public, it has not been launched so far.
What a big move, it is just to allow some local military hospitals to open civilian treatment channels at important moments.
The reason for doing this is not that Zhu Youjian does not know the role of medical treatment, but that he feels that comprehensive medical popularization is temporarily unnecessary or too extravagant. For the people of Ming Dynasty who are not full,
These current medical treatments are of little use.
