Ming politicians

Deng Hui, Lan Qiaozheng, Liu Jingting and others had already arrived in Dengzhou on the day when the imperial edict was issued. They followed the food delivery team.

Su Tiancheng had to talk to everyone and express his thoughts so that everyone could operate in the future. Next, he had to consider the issue of relocation. He had to let some people relocate to Dengzhou and Laizhou. to solve basic problems.There are two most critical issues here. The first is the issue of land. In this era, land is fundamental. Whether it is a gentry, a wealthy household or an ordinary person, all they value is land. The land in Dengzhou and Laizhou is very good. Yes, it's a pity that after being plundered by the post-Gold Tartars, the land people here dared to cultivate.The second is the construction of the city, which requires a large amount of silver to rebuild many destroyed cities.

The two problems are closely related. If the operation is done, the problems of Dengzhou and Laizhou will be resolved soon.

The newly appointed Deng Hui and others came to the ruined city of Dengzhou.

Su Tiancheng is waiting here. [

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Tiancheng didn't hesitate, and pointed to Dengzhou Fucheng and spoke.

"You have all seen the situation here. You also know the situation in Dengzhou and Laizhou. I don't want to say anything redundant. How to revitalize Dengzhou and Laizhou so that the people here can live a good life is your responsibility." The task is over, the time I give you is only one year, within one year, the ruins must be built, there is no extra time, and I have more arrangements for the future."

"Deng Hui, Lan Qiaozheng, your responsibilities are extraordinary. Dengzhou and Laizhou will be entrusted to you."

"Liu Jingting, you are well aware of the suffering of the common people, and you should know what to do."

"Liu Chongsan, you are a local, and you know the situation here. We have talked many times, and I will not emphasize too much on what to do."

"If you want to build Dengzhou and Laizhou well, it's not something you talk about. You have a lot of specific things that need to be done in a down-to-earth manner. In this situation, there is no hope for Terengganu and Laizhou."

"After the Jin Tartars invaded, a large number of gentry and wealthy households were killed, and the population was greatly reduced. This place has become a place of fear for the people of Ming Dynasty. At such a critical moment, when you come here, you must stand up and endure hardships. It is necessary, and I know it too, but you have suffered. The emperor and the court are also clear."

"At present, there are two most important things. The first is the distribution of cultivated land, and the second is the construction of the city."

"With regard to the issue of cultivated land, my suggestion is to re-measure the land and redistribute it in two months. Anyone who has a land deed will be purchased by the government, and then distributed to the people, who are required to plant cultivated land. This is a huge project, and it is also a major task that you must face. If this task is done well, most of Dengzhou and Laizhou will be stable. The specific requirement is to measure the cultivated land and register it one by one in one and a half months. Compare it with the Ministry of Household Booklet to determine the area of ​​cultivated land, and in the next half a month, the government at all levels will redistribute the land."

"Dengzhou and Laizhou have to migrate a large number of people. I will handle this matter. All the people who migrate here will be registered by the government to find out the population and divide the cultivated land according to the size of the population."

"For the rebuilding of the city, we should focus on three places. The first is the prefectural cities of Dengzhou and Laizhou, and the second is the city of Penglai. The specific method to be adopted may be to recruit ordinary people to build it. The government will give out silver, and the working people can get income. , can alleviate the impact of the disaster, at least they can be self-sufficient and do not need too much relief from the government."

"You must remember that complete relief is useless. The key is to ask the people to move. This is the difference between giving a man a fish and teaching a man to fish. The government always gives relief to the people. To solve the fundamental problem, you must give the common people the opportunity to work and earn money to live on their own, to allow them to cultivate the land, to harvest food, and to let them see the hope of life, this is your most critical task.”

"The locations of Dengzhou and Laizhou are very important. This will become the most important coastal defense line for my Ming Dynasty. In the future, we will build a strong navy here. We will build this place into the most important maritime trade base. This has become one of the wealthiest places in my Ming Dynasty."

After the task was arranged, Su Tiancheng decided to stay here for a month. The preliminary matters required a lot of money and food, and it was difficult for a clever woman to make a living. Without strong support from the outside world, Dengzhou and Laizhou could not get started by themselves. of.

Officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry soon came to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

The imperial court decided to allocate 200 million taels of silver to relieve Dengzhou and Laizhou. This amount of silver is definitely not enough, but it is also the limit that the imperial court can provide. Su Tiancheng understands that this is probably the result of Sun Chengzong's efforts. I am about to retire, and the emperor will definitely respect the opinions and suggestions I put forward.

The order in Dengzhou and Laizhou is mainly maintained by the two thousand Jiangning battalion soldiers brought by Su Tiancheng, but this situation cannot last for too long. After Deng Hui and Lan Qiaozheng took office, the first thing to do , It is to build the shelf of the government office. The staffing of officials is not a big problem. The key is the staffing of officials and government servants. Without these people, it is still difficult to do everything well.

Thinking of recruiting in Dengzhou and Laizhou, it would be very difficult. When Dorgon plundered Dengzhou and Laizhou, he robbed most of the young and strong, those young and strong who were unwilling to surrender, or the gentry and wealthy households, They were all beheaded, so at this time, they could only transfer personnel from the Jiangning battalion soldiers. These transferred personnel immediately changed their identities and became officials of the Dengzhou and Laizhou government offices.

First of all, the measurement of the cultivated land was carried out, and the progress of this matter was very smooth. [

Most of the gentry and wealthy households were killed, almost no one in the family, and the land deeds were also burned in the fire, so the measurement of the cultivated land went very smoothly, but Dengzhou and Laizhou have a large area, although the work is progressing smoothly , but it will not be able to be completed in a short time.

Su Tiancheng participated in the one-day surveying of cultivated land. It was very hard work to do this work. Fortunately, Dengzhou and Laizhou belong to the plains, and there are few mountains, so the land surveying did not encounter too many obstacles. They set off with dry food and measured along the way. The counties also mobilized manpower to participate in the survey. The Jiangning camp soldiers who surveyed the land all brought tents to measure where they went. After dark, there was no way to do anything, so they set up camp there. .

Liu Chongsan and Liu Jingting were in charge of land surveying in Dengzhou and Laizhou respectively.

During this process, Su Tiancheng expressed his vision for the future of Dengzhou and Laizhou.

In fact, when building on a piece of ruins, as long as there is enough money to do things better, the relevant systems can be re-defined. For example, the basic land policy can be re-divided according to the population. Even if someone takes out the title deed, the government will It can also be purchased at a very low price. After all, people are willing to cultivate the arable land here. The real rich people, lucky enough to save their lives, want to move out of this place and don't want to stay here anymore.

This is Su Tiancheng's opportunity. He must build Dengzhou and Laizhou into relatively fair places. In the future, he will also build a large-scale military port in Penglai City, and a large-scale commercial port in Weihai and Laizhou. There is no way to accomplish these things, and we can only find ways to solve them step by step during the construction process.

To stabilize Dengzhou and Laizhou, the first step is to establish the first large-scale commercial port in Weihai. Daming's sea ban exists in name only, because of the sea ban, the Zheng family has received numerous benefits, rich as an enemy, as long as Su Tiancheng A large-scale commercial port has been established in Weihai, allowing shipping and maritime trade to be carried out in Weihai port. It is conceivable that countless cargo ships will flock here, and Weihai will immediately become one of the most prosperous ports.

After taking this step, the next thing will go much smoother. The construction of the largest military port in the Ming Dynasty in Penglai City and another commercial port in Laizhou will have sufficient guarantees for the bank.

Su Tiancheng's thoughts were only told to Deng Hui.

Deng Hui can be regarded as Su Tiancheng's direct descendant. If it weren't for Su Tiancheng, Deng Hui would not have the status he has today, let alone think about being able to continue to take the imperial examinations and become a genuine Jinshi. Deng Hui has a good mind and has a certain foresight. After knowing these arrangements of Su Tiancheng, light burst out from his eyes.

But to do all this well, the initial investment is huge. It is impossible to do so many things well with the 200 million taels of silver allocated by the imperial court. Fortunately, Dengzhou and Laizhou are devastated, and there is a huge room for manipulation.

At the beginning of September, [-] Jiangning battalion soldiers stationed in Ningyuan arrived in Dengzhou.

The soldiers of the Ten Thousand Jiangning Battalion will be stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou. The original guards in Dengzhou and Laizhou will be abolished and will no longer be established. The defense of Dengzhou and Laizhou will be formally taken over by the Jiangning Battalion, commanded by the Jiangning Battalion Luo Chang, the imperial envoy of Qianshi and Zuoqian, and Ma Huabiao, the commanding envoy and Zuoqian's imperial envoy, were ordered to be transferred to Dengzhou and Laizhou.

This adjustment has shaken the entire Shandong. Everyone knows the bravery of the Jiangning Battalion. Now that the Jiangning Battalion is stationed in Dengzhou and Laizhou, it can be said that safety is guaranteed.

However, this kind of shock was limited to officials, and ordinary people still didn't know about it.

Su Tiancheng has been arranging the relocation of the population for a long time. In this regard, he is somewhat selfish. At least he wants to make Dengzhou and Laizhou his own territory, in case of any accidents in the future. (To be continued.)
