Kunzhou is sparsely populated. Gu Shouxin has already had his eldest uncle and fourth uncle establish Baiyu County and Chunnan County respectively. The two places are not far from Kuncheng. It takes a day to travel to Chunnan County by car, while it takes two days and one night to travel to Baiyu County.
Those who wish to relocate to Kunzhou can be accommodated in these two county towns.
Currently, there are 200,000 troops stationed in Kuncheng, some of whom were transferred by the emperor from the Yi family in Yunzhou.
These soldiers also inquired with the three generals of the Peng family about whether Gu Shouxin and his family could move here with their wives and children.
Most people with clans will not propose to relocate, but many people with small populations are willing to move here.
Gu Shouxin specifically designated a place for them, establishing a county town. After the war, the county town would be managed by officials elected by Peng's army.
In addition to these three places, Gu Shouxin also established six more counties.
In other words, he plans to establish nine counties in Kunzhou, nine towns in each county, and nine villages in each town.
The government will build the county town and towns. If you want to live in the town, you need to buy a house or shop with silver. If you want to live in the village, you don't need to pay any fees. Within the designated village area, you can choose wasteland and reclaim it yourself. The government will issue you a land deed for the amount of land you reclaim. You need to build your own house.
This is considered a preferential policy, which makes many hardworking people who don't own a house or land willing to come and reclaim land and move in.
Moreover, if people from Jinanzhou no longer want to mine jade there and want to change their living environment, they can come to Kunzhou.
Gu Shouxin also made a prediction for the emperor: after the return of Chuyun Kingdom and Shashen Kingdom, not all the people in those two places would be willing to be homeless, and some would definitely be willing to move to Kunzhou.
The Izumo Kingdom and the Sand God Kingdom will be specifically assigned to the Ministry of War for raising warhorses and training soldiers.
In the various prefectures of the Great Zhou Dynasty, very few places were able to raise horses in large numbers. The best place in the Great Zhou Dynasty to raise horses was Yunzhou, north of the capital, which was close to the grasslands.
After listening, the emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Second Prince Gu, give me a number: how many years will it take for the towns, villages, and counties you've established to be fully populated?"
Gu Shouxin held up three fingers: "If Izumo and the Sand God can be captured within two years, and Langge Kingdom can be resolved within three years, then I am certain that I can accomplish this in just three years."
The emperor nodded: "Very well, I understand."
...
On August 18th, the emperor, who had been dragged along by Gu Shouxin for two days to discuss matters, went to Chunnan City with Empress Xue, Gu's uncle Kang Wang Chengen Gong, and Jin Nan Wang. Dugu Wang, who had shamelessly entrusted Dugu Mingyue to Grandma Gu, also went along. She hadn't even had her fill of wine yet!
Empress Xue drank the medicine prescribed by Grandma Xiao. She returned after half a month to have her pulse checked and then changed the medicine. Grandma Xiao also told Empress Xue about some times of intercourse that were conducive to pregnancy, and asked Empress Xue to calculate and remember the days.
Empress Xue wrote it down in a small notebook. Unlike the emperor, her main purpose was to have a child.
Even after so many people left, the Gu family home didn't feel quiet at all. With four more babies, it was lively every day.
Grandpa Gu is happy every day. No old person doesn't want to be surrounded by children and grandchildren, especially since his mother is still healthy at his age. Grandpa Gu feels like he's living the life of a god.
