Chapter 2086 Plan
The refugees who stayed behind would have to farm next year, but there were only 3400 mu of paddy fields that had been reclaimed before. Assuming two mu of paddy fields per person, more than 3,000 people would only have 6,000 mu to share, which was more than enough.
The problem is that it is impossible to accommodate more than 660 households in that area.
It's too crowded and there's no room for everyone.
At most, about 350 households could be accommodated in that area. The remaining 300 households would have to find another place to be accommodated.
Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan discussed and identified several areas. These areas were relatively close to the previously developed mountain dry land, but there were no paddy fields. However, there were large families with paddy fields nearby.
It depends on who is willing to change.
If they are willing, they can exchange their own paddy fields for the refugees in the designated area, and the government will compensate them with newly reclaimed paddy fields in the swamp, at the rate of more than 20 acres for every 100 acres.
Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "If no one is willing to do this kind of good thing, I will do it. If I wasn't afraid of people saying that our family always takes the lead, we really wouldn't need anyone else!"
Among the several resettlement sites they selected, one was not far from the farm that Qiao Xuan had taken over from the Fan family.
It's just a replacement, what's wrong with that?
The paddy fields reclaimed from that swamp are definitely no worse than those elsewhere.
She is very clear about this, but others may not be clear.
Shao Yunduan also smiled: "If you want it, just take it. I don't care, and you don't have to care either."
Even if someone was talking behind his back, so what? He had established himself in Anze Prefecture, and his wife had given him a lot of help. It was enough for other families not to cause trouble, but they had never helped him.
What Shao Yunduan didn't expect was that things are different now. Now his words are very effective in Anzezhou.
As soon as the government issued this notice, three families came to the government office the next day and said they could offer their paddy fields in exchange.
Since Mr. Shao has spoken, then everyone must support it! Besides, it's just a replacement, and it's 20% more, so what else can we object to?
Lord Shao is generous and honest in his work, which makes people admire him!
Seeing this, Shao Yunduan agreed and the matter was settled.
At that time, each family will be allocated two acres of paddy fields and two acres of dry land according to the population.
Only paddy fields were reclaimed on the other side of the swamp, and there were many mountains and forests nearby, but they were not reclaimed. Therefore, the residents living there were allowed to reclaim the land themselves, and each person was allowed to reclaim three acres.
If you want more, you have to spend money to buy it.
Because of the large number of refugees, the amount of reclaimed paddy fields and dry mountain land was very large. Even if they were distributed according to population, there were still a lot left.
All these fields belonged to the government and were rented to Qiao Xuan for cultivation year after year. If there were more refugees in the future, they might need to be resettled.
At the moment, we just cannot waste these fields, and of course we have to make use of them.
Rice is naturally planted in the paddy fields, and Qiao Xuan plans to plant various annual crops in the dry land, such as potatoes, corn, soybeans, peanuts, taro, etc., and some common medicinal herbs in appropriate amounts.
In this way, even if people need to be resettled in the future, no matter who the land is allocated to, it will not delay replanting next year.
Suddenly, there were more than 660 households farming, and the seeds had to be arranged at this time.
Anze Prefecture has now achieved self-sufficiency in rice seeds and no longer needs to purchase from outside.
