Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 789: Crossing Guandong (8)

Compared with the heat inside the Great Wall, the temperature in Liaodong is much cooler.

It has rained heavily for several days and the wind is chilly.

Liaodong Provincial Administration Commission.

Guangning Fucheng.

Liaodong Governor's Office.

"The joint offices in Beijing and other places have now fully promoted the policy of immigration to Liaodong. How important is this matter to Liaodong? I don't need to say more, right?"

Hong Chengchou looked serious, glanced at the people gathered in the hall, and said in a cold tone: "Up to now, some matters involving state-owned farms have not been finalized. What? Do you think there is enough time?"

"Do you still think there are loopholes and problems in the planning of state-owned farms? If anyone has ideas or opinions, please speak up!!"

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed.

All the officials sitting in the main hall, including Wu Linzheng and other officials from the joint branch offices, all showed different expressions, and it was obvious that everyone had their own ideas.

"Governor, I do have some opinions on the allocation of state-owned farms."

Under such circumstances, a man stood up, bowed to Hong Chengchou and said, "We will set up state-owned farms in Fu, Gai, Hai, Liao, and Shen Prefectures, with clear categories of thousands and hundreds of households. The above-mentioned state-owned farms of various sizes will be enough to accommodate nearly 150 million people."

"Right now, just the state-owned farms mentioned above have no more than 30 registered households. We are currently promoting immigration to Liaoning, but if we want to fill these places, according to the Liaodong Joint Branch, it will take at least two years to implement it."

"After all, in addition to the state-owned farms mentioned above, there are also many state-owned farms in Guangning Prefecture, Jinzhou Prefecture, Jinxi Prefecture, and Suizhong Prefecture. Not to mention the immigration plan to the border this time. The people who want to move to the prefectures and states in Liaodong will not be as simple as being settled in state-owned farms."

"The shipbuilding and smelting industries around the coastal prefectures, the mining and logging industries around southern Liaoning, and the military industry and smelting industries around the left Liaoning all require a large number of people to be resettled."

"We also need to take into account the immigrants in Dandong. This is not only for the vassal Korea, but also for the various forts in Kuandian. So many places need to be resettled. I really don't understand why the governor insists on setting up state-owned farms in the Liaohe area between Guangning and Liaoshen?"

"The governor must know what's going on there. A large area of ​​Liaoze occupies this place. Do you think you can develop this place just based on those people's one-sided statements?"

This person's words made everyone in the hall look different.

This China is really a tough guy.

Hong Chengchou, who was sitting in the main seat, stared at Hua Xia in front of him. There was no change on the surface, but he felt emotional in his heart. This man was a new Jinshi in the second year of Tianqi. After his observation of politics in Beijing, he was sent to Liaodong to serve as an official. He is currently the magistrate of Heishan County!
The Liaohe Basin mentioned by Hua Xia just now is an extremely vast Liaoze area. It is precisely because of its existence that there is a gap in the Liaodong border wall.

What Hong Chengchou insists on doing now is to plug this gap. This is not from a military perspective. After all, the existence of Liaoze is beneficial to the Liaodong border defense.

What really made Hong Chengchou decide to do this was the agricultural talents in Liaodong who were responsible for diverting water to plant rice, breeding potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, etc. After a field investigation of the Liaohetao area, they found that if the land here could be improved, water could be diverted to consolidate the fields, and canals and bridges could be built, the crops planted on this land would surely be able to produce a good yield! ! For Liaodong, whether it is now or in the future, the food supply will always be continuously improved. If the food problem cannot be solved, Liaodong will be full of crises.

"Does anyone else want to say anything?"

After an unknown amount of silence, Hong Chengchou lifted his sleeves and glanced at everyone in the hall. "If you have anything to say about what Magistrate Hua said, you can do so."

"I second the proposal!"

"I second the proposal!"

As soon as Hong Chengchou finished speaking, some people stood up and seconded his proposal.

With the temporary end of the war against the enemy, the prestige of both Xiong Tingbi and Hong Chengchou in Liaodong also increased significantly.

However, compared with the fiery Xiong Tingbi, Hong Chengchou had a much better temperament. On some matters, Hong Chengchou was willing to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.

Therefore, as long as some things involve the development of Liaodong, people under Hong Chengchou can express different opinions and views.

After all, upgrading Liaodong's system was another attempt by the Ming Dynasty. Hong Chengchou was most reluctant to see Liaodong's system restored after the final reform.

"I know all your thoughts and concerns."

Hong Chengchou looked at the group of people standing out with a serious expression, "It is nothing but a waste of money and manpower, but what I want to say is that if the Ming Dynasty does not occupy these places, the tribes of the southern grasslands will occupy these places. This is one of the reasons."

"The remnants of the Jianlu who were severely damaged by the Liao-guarding army are now entrenched in the Ciluwei area. According to military reports sent back by the Governor's Office and other places, the Jianlu have never stopped. You should all know what they want to do, right?"

"As waves of immigrants come to Liaodong, as you Huaxia said, in addition to being settled in state-owned farms and diverted to official fields, a large number of people will be engaged in off-site work, involving military industry, smelting, shipbuilding, mining, logging and other fields, and this does not include the border troops stationed in various parts of Liaodong!!"

"For a long time to come, the food supply will be a huge burden on Liaodong. In addition to relying on aid from the court and grain transported by sea, local grain production must be increased. This is something that every official in Liaodong, regardless of rank, must pay attention to! ”

"Mention difficulties and talk about hidden worries. All right. Then I want to ask you, no matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as the remnants of the Jianlu? Damn it, the Jianlu have already reclaimed wasteland in places like Ciluwei!!!"

Having said this, Hong Chengchou slammed the table in front of him. This question made everyone present silent, and many of them even lowered their heads.

Everyone is aware of the bravery and fighting skills of the Jianlu. At present, suppressing the Jianlu rebellion is indeed no longer the most urgent matter in Liaodong. However, this matter has never been over. After all, the problem of Jianlu's rebellion has not been completely resolved.

As the governor of Liaodong, Hong Chengchou knew better than anyone that the threat from the Jianlu still existed, and the degree of the threat was even higher than that of the tribes in the grasslands south of the desert. After all, one side was cohesive and the other was scattered. Hudun Tuhan, the Khan of the grassland, was ultimately no match for Nurhaci.

The former has empty ambitions but average capabilities, while the latter has more than just ambitions. The key is that they actually have some capabilities. Unless they are completely suppressed to death, the threat will not be eliminated.
