Eighth year of Chongzhen
Chapter 312 Construction
Chapter 312 Construction
Weishan Island is located in the east of the central part of Weishan Lake. Its area is not too large, but because it is located in the endless Weishan Lake, the natural conditions are very good, and it is a place suitable for living and living.
Weishan Island was originally a mountain rather than an island. Later, the Yellow River repeatedly flooded and moved southward, encroaching on the Sihe River from the Huaihe River to the sea, making the Sihe River unsmooth and silted up, making the lake below the mountain to form a lake. Weishan Island.
There used to be dozens of families and hundreds of people on the island. These families relied on the hundreds of acres of wasteland reclaimed to get some rations, raise some chickens, ducks, and poultry, and then fished fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs from the lake, and picked some lotus pods and lotus roots. Rowing to the summer town several miles away, in exchange for daily necessities such as oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, needles, threads, and brains to make a living.Although the life is not rich, at least he can eat food, and it is safer to stay away from the land.
Weishan Island is under the jurisdiction of Weishan County, Jining Prefecture. Because the island is sparsely populated and there are not many fields, the county government chose the most populous family on the island to be the head of the village. Almost no people from the government came to harass, so the residents on the island lived peacefully.
But this quiet and peaceful atmosphere was completely broken in the second half of the ninth year of Chongzhen.
First, the Ministry of Industry dispatched hundreds of officials, officials, officials and bibliographies to Jining Prefecture to observe and plan the reclamation of wasteland and the overall layout of populated villages, followed by the first batch of well-drilling teams established in the eighth year of Chongzhen Emperor Huangzhuang began to investigate Source of water, looking for a suitable place to build water wells for the victims to drink.
The government of Jining Prefecture and the counties, which received the order from the imperial court, hired a large number of young and strong laborers from the local area under the supervision and supervision of a large number of Jinyiwei and inspecting censors. Then began to build houses, build roads, dig and bury open ditches and underground ditches, creating the prototype of a large number of villages.
After consulting the hydrological data kept by the local government, visiting the old farmers in the village, and investigating the traces of the floods in the rainy seasons over the years, the officials of the Ministry of Industry will decide where to build the village to avoid being washed away by the floods brought by the rainy seasons every year. .
According to the imperial decree, the 200 million stones of grain and rice and a large amount of salt that were successively intercepted from the water transport were transferred from the water ships to several large water sub-warehouses along the canal of Jining Prefecture, and then transferred there after the construction of small warehouses dotted with dots. For the food of the victims.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of building materials such as slaked lime, wood, stone, thatch, etc. were transported from the local area or on the boats on the Grand Canal to the village under construction for the construction of houses and warehouses.This frenzy of infrastructure construction has also led to the prosperity of related industries in the local area and nearby state capitals. From gentry with various resources to boatmen, porters, cart dealers, and young laborers, countless people have become part of this large-scale beneficiary of the investment.
The reason is simple. Zhu Youjian took out 200 million silver vehicles from his internal funds and put them into this big purchase.The purchase of all materials is settled in cash, and the officials sent by the household department make a budget with the cooperation of the local government household officials involved, and then use the method of cash on delivery to settle the money with the seller on the spot. This is a huge investment. It has also led to the vigorous development of related industries, and directly and indirectly increased the income of the people.
The laborers employed in the counties of Jining Prefecture are also paid according to the daily salary per person, and under the strict supervision of Jin Yiwei, silver coins are distributed on the same day.
People at that time hadn't learned how to steal and play tricks in their work. Under the double stimulation of cash settlement wages and two meals a day, the progress of all projects was progressing rapidly. It has already taken shape in time.
These houses for the victims are all made of yellow mud and adobe. For the victims who are suffering from hunger and cold, it is a blessing to have a shelter from the wind and rain. How can they dislike whether it is a wooden house or a hard rock? built dwelling.
In order to increase the enthusiasm of government officials to work hard, Zhu Youjian also offered a huge amount of rewards to encourage and reward them.All the officials who participated in this huge project received corresponding subsidies every month according to their grades, and officials who worked diligently would also receive other rewards, and this money was distributed until all the victims of the disaster were properly resettled.
With the double supervision of Jinyiwei and Yushi, and the temptation of a large amount of subsidies, the officials who have always been lazy, arrogant and procrastinated burst out with great enthusiasm for doing business. Almost all of them threw themselves into the complicated and trivial tasks with high emotions. As a result, human nature has undergone tremendous changes.
Whether it is Jining Prefecture and the counties under its jurisdiction, or the gentry in Yanzhou Prefecture, they have also benefited a lot from this large project.
For the procurement of various massive supplies, the officials of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry have taken the measure of giving priority to the nearest place, directly placing orders to various shops set up by the gentry in the city, and then selling almost all the grain stored in the gentry’s home at a price higher than the market price. Sold out.The one who benefited the most from this grain procurement is the Prince Lu Mansion located in Yanzhou Mansion.
The officials of the household department purchased nearly 30 shi of grain from the Lu Wang Mansion at a price of five qian and silver per shi, and the Lu Wang Mansion made a net profit of 10,000+ taels of silver at once.
Because these grains are the rent paid by the tenant farmers of the palace, there is almost no cost.
As the crude infrastructure was about to be completed, a large number of disaster victims from the northern border came to Jining Prefecture on a county-by-county basis, accompanied by local government officials and yamen servants in the disaster area.
While the vast majority of the victims were still setting up shacks near the towns and waiting to be resettled, hundreds of young and strong people were divided into teams under the care of the officials. Ten fires were ignited.The raging fire raged through the no-man's land around Nansi Lake by the wind. The several-foot-high flames continued day and night, illuminating the night sky as brightly as day.
After the fire was extinguished by an autumn rain that lasted for several days, before the sky completely cleared and the ground was completely dry, countless men and women in ragged clothes were young and strong, carrying shovels, hoes, willow baskets, dustpans and other agricultural tools on their shoulders. , Stepping into the scorched wasteland and depressions burned by the fire, they worked desperately to open up wasteland.
The scope of this great land reclamation is so wide that several states and counties around Nansi Lake are all included. As long as the wasteland that can be irrigated by Nansi Lake and the surrounding rivers is covered by people, the previously uninhabited There are disaster victims everywhere in the wilderness.These disaster victims worked in the original counties and townships under the organization and leadership of the original local officials. This approach avoided the chaos caused by the large number of people to the greatest extent.
Weishan Island is also included in this large-scale development. Thousands of adobe thatched houses have been built around the original small village in just over a month, and several small stone-based granaries have also been built. , the two small roads in the village were also widened and extended.
With the completion of the houses, under the arrangement and organization of the government, more than [-] households and more than [-] people moved to the island. The quiet Weishan Island was suddenly full of popularity and vitality, but at the same time It made the dozens of aborigines feel extremely uncomfortable.
As the newly relocated victims began to open up wasteland, patches of wasteland woods quickly turned into fertile fields capable of producing food. The government continued to transport various materials to the island, and water trucks were erected one after another. The canals leading to the fields were being built day and night. Under the shadow of several years of drought, these victims were full of desire and expectation for water.
The construction of villages around Nansi Lake and the reclamation of wasteland finally came to an end before the first snow in winter. The original wasteland has become a continuous field. In order to kill all kinds of insect eggs in the fields that are harmful to the growth of crops, these fields can be planted in the next spring after a winter of drying.
The ninth year of Chongzhen passed in this way under the expectation of the victims for a good harvest in the coming year.
