Chapter 343 342. Subsidy
"The first batch of people from Qingzhou totaled 470 people. They all went through the naturalization procedures at the household registration department. The village chief who has been assigned has now brought them back to the new village built last year."

Prefect's House.

Hu Qi, who has silver-rimmed eyes on his nose, is processing official documents in his hand. Beside him, his secretary is reporting to him on the situation of the group of Qingzhou people who came today.

"Well, let's distribute all kinds of policy support when they arrive in the new village. Farm tools, seeds, livestock, chickens, ducks and geese will all be provided according to the amount set at the beginning."

"At the same time, I would like to tell the newly appointed village chiefs that cattle, horses and other animals for reclaiming the fields must be taken care of. Now that the end of autumn is about to enter winter, next year, each village will have a large amount of agricultural accumulation. Without those animals, the fields The farming will add a lot of work."

Hu Qi sucked a tube of ink in the ink bottle, then reassembled the pen that had just been disassembled, signed his name on an official document, and stamped it with the prefect's seal.

As the prefect of Jianyin County, Hu Qi is in charge of the official affairs of the entire Yinzhou. Previously, due to population problems, they, the people who immigrated to Yinzhou in the early stage, could only move around Jianyin County.

But it's fine now.

From the letters from Liaodi, he knew that there are millions of people in Qingzhou waiting to be absorbed by Sanzhou, so he was naturally thinking about these people.

In the past two years, Yinzhou has begun to take shape under his plan.

The gold and silver smelting industry is even more dominant under Zhang Qi's command.

Since asking Zhang Qi to bring the blast furnace technology to Yinzhou at the end of last year, it is only August and September now, and the iron smelting plant they established in Jianyin County has started the blasting mode.

Since last month, Jianyin County's monthly steel production has exceeded [-] tons, which doesn't sound like much, does it?

But this is steel, not wrought iron.

The steel output of Jianyin County alone is enough to rival the entire Han Dynasty.

And as the smelter workers become more proficient, there will definitely be explosive growth on the basis of this output.

In addition to industry, food is also one of Yinzhou's tasks.

In other words, no matter which state he is in, Zhang Qiding's first priority is food.

Although the Northeast region alone can feed all of Zhang Qi's current population and there is still a surplus, but from the beginning to the end, Zhang Qi was staring at the tens of millions of people in the Han Dynasty.

It is not enough for a Liao area to produce.

There is also more arable area, livestock breeding, and sea fish fishing.

What Yinzhou and Lezhou are responsible for is the sea fishing industry.

They have a natural advantage in terms of terrain.

Just the amount of fish caught in a Hokkaido fishery, as long as the shipping industry can support it, is not a problem to feed tens of millions of people. Although Yinzhou has many mountains and few flat lands, it is not impossible to grow things. The sweet potatoes sent from Liaoning can It is very suitable for mountain planting, and it can be considered as a success in farming.

Hu Qi stopped the pen in his hand, took off his glasses, pinched the bridge of his nose and soothed his eyes.

"The people from the geographic mapping team haven't come back yet? I don't know if there is a plain terrain suitable for large-scale planting in Yinzhou. If there is, I also want to turn this place into a big granary."

Hu Qi said softly.

As a person who came from the Kingdom of God like Hu Ling, he also has the pride of belonging to that group of people in his heart.

Either don't do it, do it if you want to do it.

If possible, he hopes that he can develop Yinzhou into an area that is very important to his emperor, with industry, farming, and fishing running in parallel.

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon. They set off in February, and now it's almost September or October. It's time to come back."

At another desk next to Hu Qi, his secretary said so.

"Well, I hope."

Nodding his head, Hu Qi put on his glasses and continued to work.
-
"Okay, we've arrived! Everyone, get out of the car."

Forty miles outside Yincheng, the young village chief Zhao Ji jumped off the large passenger carriage and greeted his villagers to get off with a smile on his face.

Seeing that the roads in Yin County are very developed, this is the result of Hu Qi’s two years in power. After all, seeing Yin County and seeing Yincheng is responsible for the mining and refining of gold and silver, and it is very dependent on transportation. After eating and living, Hu Qi recruited a large number of workers to build roads.

After all, there are Japanese slaves who mine ore, and the tiring but safe coolie work of building roads is handed over to the immigrants who came with him, which is also a way to increase income.

Large passenger carriages are not small, and there is no problem with a full load of 30 people at a time.

Those who drive this kind of carriage are all Han army chariots recruited on the battlefield before. Some of them chose to quit the army because they were tired of the war, and some of them chose to quit the army because of physical reasons.

But it would be a waste to leave them unused, so Zhang Qi simply designed this kind of public transportation vehicle, so that these veterans can also earn a living after they leave the army.

A cart requires twelve horses to pull it. In terms of scale, this has already surpassed the imperial guard of honor. However, this is not the Han Dynasty. Zhang Qi does not care much about the so-called guard of honor.

Want style?

I'm going straight to the locomotive!
Who can be more majestic than the steel behemoth?

A total of more than 20 such carriages came.

Starting from Jianyincheng, they walked for a day.

Although the speed is not fast, it is better than ease.

The door was pulled open.

The people of Qingzhou who had been riding a carriage all day are still recalling the charm of riding a carriage. In the Han Dynasty, only ordinary people could ride a carriage.

How could they not be excited and happy when they thought that they also had such treatment?

Twenty horse-drawn carriages were parked steadily at the entrance of the village, and the four characters "Wood Industry Village" were written in standard regular script on a plaque made of logs and wooden boards.

It is not difficult to see from the name of the village that this village is rich in timber.

All the people were gathered together by Zhao Ji at the entrance of the village.

He smiled and pointed to the village behind him.

"From now on, everyone will settle down in Muye Village. Our village is small, with only four hundred households. You are the first batch of villagers to come here. Later, you can give priority to choosing the houses you want to settle in. From now on, It's your home now."

"In the household registration department, the household registration servants have explained very clearly to everyone that each household is granted ten acres of fertile land, and the fields are not far from the village. I am tired today, and I will take everyone to claim them one by one tomorrow."

"In addition, as a subsidy for immigrants, the Prefect's Mansion has also prepared the necessary subsidy items."

"Each household has a corresponding set of farm tools, including hoes, sickles, and the like."

"Seeds, 120 catties per household, enough to sow ten mu of fields."

"Each household has three pairs of chickens, ducks and geese. If you want to breed chickens, ducks and geese to eat a variety of eggs every day, you can come to me to get the breeding. If you don't want to bear the cost of feed, you can also explain to me that the Taishou Mansion will pay three-thirds of the market price of chickens, ducks and geese. One pays everyone money.”
