Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 781 People have to do something in this life

Northern Zhili, Tangshan Prefecture.

It has Leting Port (to be built) under its jurisdiction

"Boss, what do you think?"

Zhao Laosan sat on a rock, facing the sea breeze, looking at Liu He with a worried look on his face, "Why did you give up a good job in Xishan and run to this remote place? What are you doing here? The Northern Zhili Joint Branch, the Tangshan Branch, the Zhugang Preparatory District, um, a clerk in the Chengfa Office, what do you want?"

"The monthly salary of a clerk is not as much as what I get in our assembly park. Yes, it is hard work in the assembly park, but I earned it with my own ability, so I don't feel guilty at all."

"It's good now. The monthly salary is paid monthly, but the work is also hard. Damn it, I have never written so many words in my life. This is ten or even a hundred times more tiring than the work we did in the general assembly park!"

"Regret it?"

Listening to Zhao Laosan's complaints, Liu He stared at the waves in front of him and said calmly, "If you regret it, it's not too late now. Write a letter to the Tangshan Ports Preparatory District. If you're lucky, you'll get a reply in a few days. If you're late, you'll lose this opportunity."

“Regret is regret.”

After hearing this, Zhao Laosan looked at Liu He and said, "But since I'm following the boss, as long as the boss doesn't leave, then I won't leave either. This is me..."

"If you don't want to leave, don't say that again."

Liu He frowned and said, "Why did you leave your job as a clerk in our general assembly park and insist on coming here to be a clerk? Didn't I tell you at the beginning?"

"What do we have? Before we fled to the border, you and I were both military households, exploited by the hundred households in the fort, doing the hardest and most tiring work, and in the end, our whole family couldn't even have enough to eat."

"The Jianlu rebelled and caused panic among the people of Liaodong. At that time, we were conscripted to guard the border of Liaodong. The old and young in our family cried bitterly, so we ran away!!"

When he said this, Liu He clenched his fists.

If it were not for the rectification of official administration and the fight against corruption, which led to the arrest of many people in the Military Preparation and Cleaning Office under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, and the policy of immigration to fill the border areas, Liu He would not have had the opportunity to participate in the selection of clerks. It was precisely this special experience that reminded Liu He of the experience he had deliberately forgotten.

Among all the old brothers, he and Zhao Laosan were the only ones who fled to the capital with their families. Fortunately, they met a special Shaofu, who recruited a large number of people to build workshops in the capital to provide relief through work...

"It's different to have this skin and not have this skin!"

Liu He pondered for a moment, staring at Zhao Laosan, "You are not unaware of Xiao Xiucai's affairs. You have said more than once before that if you could become an official, you would definitely be better than those losers and corrupt officials. You may have forgotten these, but I have not forgotten them."

"Boss, I was just bragging."

Zhao Laosan said embarrassedly.

"I know."

Liu He nodded and said, "But I don't want to live like this for the rest of my life. I want to do more. I want to see how difficult it is to do things!"

"Damn it, I haven't forgotten what I went through in the fort. They were all eating, drinking and having fun, and they were better than anyone else. If you really ask them to do something, they'll be more reckless than the other."

"Yes, I am a pariah, and I should accept my fate as a pariah! If I hadn't fled to the interior of the country, I would have escaped to the capital and entered the Shaofu without knowing what was going on. This is the only thought I have in my life."

"But since I entered the Shaofu, I have discovered that officials, clerks, and servants are completely different. Why is it that most people under the emperor can do their work well, but the farther away from the emperor, the worse they are at work?"

Zhao Laosan was silent. He seemed to understand Liu He's thoughts.

"I have no interest in being an official, nor do I have any desire to wear this leather."

Liu He exclaimed softly, with a look of melancholy on his face, "After all, the capital is not our root, Liaodong is. Whether we can go back is another matter!"

"Immigration to fill the border is a benevolent policy designated by His Majesty. According to our superior, although most of the immigrants this time are targeted at Liaodong, there are also some areas that are not Liaodong."

"Tangshan Prefecture is one of them. It will receive some immigrants, be responsible for building Tangshan ports, prepare to build Tangshan government-run shipyards, and expand intensive smelting industries!"

"I just want to do things down to earth now, not for anything else, just to do something practical for Liaodong. Even if I don't get anything, it's worth it if Liaodong can get better, don't you think?"

"Correct."

Zhao Laosan nodded and said, "In this life, one must do something. Since the eldest brother has said so, then let's do it. I, Zhao Bin, also want to see how difficult it is to do more things."

Whether it is Liu He or Zhao Bin, both are people who have experienced a lot. They came from humble backgrounds and faced countless difficulties in their lives, but they had responsibilities on their shoulders. Even if they suffered humiliation outside, they had to keep it in their hearts and not let their family members worry.

But living like this is really tiring.

Even when they fled from Liaodong into the interior and ran to the capital area, Liu He, Zhao Bin and others had already given up hope. Until they encountered the Shaofu's widespread recruitment of refugees from Liao, everything seemed to change quietly.

A person's vision has nothing to do with age, but is closely related to experience.

"Boss, I just don't understand."

Zhao Bin pondered for a moment, then looked at Liu He and said, "Since His Majesty has designated immigration to fill the border areas, what we need to do now is to transport civilians to Liaodong, but why are Tangshan and other places also included in this category?"

“That’s not hard to understand.”

Liu He smiled and said, "Because Tangshan and other places are close to the sea, if we want to develop Liaodong, we can't just limit ourselves to the Shanhaiguan line, we need to open up as much sea transportation as possible."

"Didn't our superior also say that the construction of Tangshan ports was included in the plan of immigration to Liaoning in order to reduce unnecessary responsibilities and promote shipping and shipbuilding construction?"

"Also, Zhang Wu has also come to Tangshan. He was sent by the Military Equipment Cleansing Department. I heard that he was transferred to a cannon assembly park that is yet to be built."

"what?!"

Zhao Bin widened his eyes in disbelief.

The immigration and border filling policy is not simply to transport the bankrupt groups in one place to another to engage in single reclamation and farming. This is too simple and crude.

According to Zhu Youxiao's idea, the Ming Dynasty should adopt this specific policy to differentiate the corresponding groups and settle them in the corresponding areas under the general direction of clarifying the population transfer.

In addition to the field of farming, many fields such as military industry, smelting, ports, shipbuilding, mining, etc. can be clearly broken up and divided to avoid the same clan and tribe. After being transported to a certain place in Liaodong to dominate, they can be in line with the specific development policies formulated by the Liaodong authorities to assist the Liaodong authorities in accelerating development and governance.

This is a beneficial policy that can create many opportunities and open up promotion channels. As for who can benefit from it, it depends on each of them!
