I'm a big dick

Chapter 600
Still relying on the Liaohe River to transport grain and grass materials, in addition to the Jilin Shipyard, the Liaodong Ming Army also built ships at Juliu River Ferry, Wula and other places for transportation.

At the same time, it is necessary to build warehouses to store military rations in Dengzi Village in the upper reaches of the Liaohe River and Yitunmen (Yitong County) where the Yitun River flows.

When transporting materials by water, they will be transported to the grain depot in Dengzi Village by boat in spring and autumn.There is no waterway between Dengzi Village and Yitunmen, so it needs to be transported by land.After arriving at Yitunmen, it will be shipped again along the Songhua River to the front.

If this water-land combined transportation route is successfully opened, it will solve the key problems of going north to the Songhua River and even the Heilongjiang River Basin, and will also promote the economic development of the Northeast in the future.

More importantly, the two major estuaries of the Heilongjiang River and the Tumen River can directly reach Nagasaki in Japan, Busan in North Korea, and major domestic ports.

In fact, the emperor did not lose enthusiasm for the development and construction of the Northeast.In his view, during a catastrophe, the Northeast is better than the Northwest, and can carry more people.

The northwest is drought, which lasts for at least three to five years, and sometimes lasts for more than ten years.The Northeast is cold, and there may be drought, but it is not as severe as the Northwest.

Historically, droughts and colds should have been of the same level and cause similar damage to crop production.

But it’s different now. Potatoes, corn, rye, etc. are resistant to cold and drought, and even have a short growing season, so they are much more resistant to cold.

You must know that the severity of the drought in Northwest China is inseparable from ecological damage.

Since the middle and late Tang Dynasty, the entire Guanzhong Plain has been over-exploited and ecologically degraded very seriously. The trees in the Qinling Mountains have been cut down, the vegetation is sparse, and disasters are frequent, making the Guanzhong area withdraw from the stage of history.

The same kind of ecological damage was very common in ancient times. For example, Beijing in the Ming Dynasty had sandstorms. This was directly related to the reduction of trees in Yanshan Mountain, the destruction of vegetation, and the loss of its barrier effect on Beijing.

However, the ecological environment in Northeast China is good, with a high forest coverage rate, human development is far from the red line, and the punishment of nature is far from worrying.

Of course, emigrating from the northwest to the northeast does not mean abandoning the northwest.At the strategic level, the Northwest is also extremely important.

If it doesn't rain, then build water conservancy facilities and divert water from the rivers for irrigation.

In principle, it is as much as can be planted and as much as can be harvested.One catty harvested locally costs five or six catties when transported from abroad. Under the road and transportation conditions at that time, the loss on the road was quite alarming.

The same is true for the current Northeast. If it cannot be self-sufficient and cannot provide food and materials for the northward movement, the pressure on the imperial court will be enormous.

Regarding Zhang Pan's suggestion, Mao Wenlong smiled and said: "Since there is no rush here, let's send a group of craftsmen to Siping! The northward advance will be postponed for one year, even if there are fewer people, the ships here can also be built well." If so, these craftsmen will be in Sipingan's house."

Zhang Pan readily agreed. Firstly, it was the request of his boss, and secondly, it took an extra year. As Mao Wenlong said, a sufficient number of ships can be completed with fewer people.

"Long live's determination to open up territory to the north will not change, but eliminating the remnants of slavery is no longer the main goal." Mao Wenlong said to the crowd as he walked: "You just need to remember one principle, the harvest of war is greater than the investment, long live will be allowed."

That's it, everyone looked at each other and nodded.Knowing this is very important, which is equivalent to trying to figure out the holy will.

"Land is also wealth. If you occupy it for one or two years, you can be self-sufficient, and Long Live will support it..." Mao Wenlong felt that since he said it, he might as well add more to boost the morale of his soldiers.

The meaning is very clear, going north will be a long-term national policy, and there is no need to worry about not having opportunities to make contributions.But there must be a trade-off and judgment, and you must also be able to calm down, and don't engage in the "poor soldiers and Qianwu" mentioned in the history books.

And if you want to operate well and recover quickly, population is the first element.Whether it is the Koreans who crossed the border to survive, or the ethnic minorities in Nuer Gandusi, they must make good use of it, that is, give both grace and power.

The "Nationality Law" promulgated by the imperial court just happened to play a role.However, the Jilin Mansion has a three-year military control period, and major generals such as Zhang Pan must learn to manage both the army and the people.

Of course, the imperial court also dispatched many civilian officials, all of whom entered official careers through official transfer.In terms of actual working ability, it is still quite good.

.....................

Fenghua (now Lishu County) under the jurisdiction of Siping was called Pianlian City in ancient times, commonly known as Maimai Street.

Because it is located in the most important place in the north, it is a place where "thieves and bandits haunt" and "stubborn people steal the wind." named Fenghua.

In the Ming Dynasty, Fenghua was only a small village.But after a year of construction by officers, soldiers and immigrants, it has become a small town.

As the former home of the Yehe tribe, a considerable number of Yehe descendants relocated here and settled down under the planning and arrangement of the government.

Most of the immigrants were Han Chinese, and most of them were Liao people who returned to Liaodong after the war.

Of course, the first choice of these Liao people was their original home villages, but after the Ping Liao, the government began to divide land and set up villages and towns.

The people who were in Liaodong before the recovery, as well as the arrangements for the retired officers and soldiers, naturally couldn't wait.Therefore, after returning to their hometowns, many Liao residents who entered the customs and resettled no longer had their original land.

There is still a lot of land left in Liaodong, but the new establishment of Jilin Mansion has introduced more favorable policies, which has also attracted many immigrants.

Erya's family was one of the many people who chose Jilin Mansion, and they were placed in Fenghua Village by the government.With the establishment of Siping County, it has now been upgraded to Fenghua Town.

The sun was scorching hot, and the potato seedlings in the field were growing very well and were emerald green.

Erya father carried two buckets and walked along the furrow from one end to the other, watering the fields and crops.

Fenghua Town is adjacent to Dongliao River in the east, and there is Shiling River in the middle. Officers, soldiers and immigrants also dug ditches, which made the irrigated fields here reach a considerable number.

Erya's father wanted to go to the ditch to fetch water again, but he saw a familiar figure coming from the village, and he hurriedly picked up an empty bucket to meet him.

"Come and get under the shade, it's a hot day, isn't it busy, why don't you give it to me?" Erya's father greeted his wife distressedly, took the food basket with one hand, and then hurriedly let his wife go to the shade of the tree next to him.

"How can you still be tired with this little journey?" The wife walked under the shade of the tree, looked at her husband with a red face, a flash of distress flashed in her eyes, and urged: "Hurry up and eat, it's already past noon. "

Erya's father put the wooden barrel on the ground for his wife to sit on, and the other wooden barrel as a table. He put the rice basket and said, "Let's eat together!"

"I've eaten." The wife lifted the cloth, revealing half a can of porridge, steamed buns, potatoes and two pickles.

Father Er Ya smiled and said: "I told you earlier that you wouldn't wait for me, but today I am obedient."

As he said that, he found a random stone and sat down, took the wet cloth handed by his wife, wiped his hands and face, picked up the porridge jar and drank it.
