Chapter 767 Arrangements before the return trip
"That's about it, but it's really convenient to have these ships. The value they bring is far more than the cost of the ship. They can also bring us a lot of benefits, but you may not be able to do that, because your current output is only the most basic crops, and there is no other output that can be used for trade, so even if you build a ship, except for fishing, there will be basically no other income." Luo Chong explained.
Tang Ji discussed with the tribe leaders again in a low voice.
They don't have taxes. If they want taxes, they not only need to measure the land and register the household registration, but also have unified weights and measures to calculate the amount of grain, and systematic text records of information. They can't do these at present, so they can't learn the routine of using taxes to build and maintain ships like the Han tribe.
However, the Tang tribe currently has a considerable income, that is rubber. Whether it is selling rubber latex or saplings and seeds, the Han tribe will give money. They can use this money to invest in shipyard construction and subsequent shipbuilding, control the ownership of the ship in their own hands, and at the same time train a large number of shipbuilding craftsmen. Why not?
So Tang Ji immediately made a decision.
"Han leader, we want to own these ships ourselves. We will use the money from selling rubber and saplings to pay for the craftsmen and materials of the Han tribe."
Luo Chong spread his hands indifferently. Even if the ownership of the ships belonged to the Han tribe, they would still need to buy a lot of ironware and asphalt and other "high-end" materials from the Han tribe. Anyway, the Han tribe would not suffer any loss, so he could accept it anyway.
After the two sides finalized the ownership of the ships, Luo Chong looked at the last piece of land of the Tang tribe. This was the easternmost piece of land of the Tang tribe, and it happened to be located by the sea, which was also the place where Luo Chong was going to build a fishing port for them.
He pointed to the last piece of land protruding into the sea and said, "Let's call this piece of land Ningbo County. The total population is about 13,000 people, and it can be divided into four counties. We need to build a new fishing port county. This is what we agreed on before. You can go to the sea in this place to fish in the future.
Then we need a new Tashan County, because I plan to build a lighthouse on this cliff by the sea to guide the ships in the fishing port. This must be built, otherwise in bad weather, those fishing boats at sea will not be able to find their way home.
The remaining two counties can be called Mingzhu County and Pompeii County. These are things from the sea and are easy to remember. Chief Tang, do you have anything else to add?"
"No, since Chief Han has divided it this way, it must make sense. I believe that my clan leaders will also learn the management methods of the Han tribe and strive to make the people live a good life as soon as possible." Tang Ji shook her head and said. The clan leaders around her had no other opinions. Now that the county and county areas have been divided, they only want to get the assistance from the Han tribe as soon as possible.
With the name and territory of the last county marked, the division of counties and prefectures was completed.
So far, the Tang tribe, with a total population of over 80,000, was divided into eight counties by Luo Chong, of which five had three counties under its jurisdiction, and three had four counties under its jurisdiction, totaling eight counties and 27 counties.
This means that the Han tribe needs to help the Tang tribe build 27 markets and grain stations, as well as eight banks to promote the currency of the Han tribe, sell the goods of the Han tribe, and help the Tang tribe purchase grain from the people. In addition,
there are also infrastructure and technology transfer such as fishing ports, docks, lighthouses, wood processing plants, shipyards, hand-woven textile factories, and sugar refineries. There are so many things to do.
After finalizing the details of the aid construction with them, the Han tribe held a banquet to entertain them as usual. At the same time, Luo Chong also asked people to take advantage of the meal to let Dashu's subordinates copy dozens of administrative division maps of the Tang tribe and give them to each tribe leader to let them know where their territory is, and then sent them back.
As for Luo Chong, he also had to rush back to the Han tribe as soon as possible to complete the first industrial technology upgrade.
However, before leaving, he had to make good arrangements for Dashu, as there were many things that needed to be prepared in Takuhai County.
In the evening, Luo Chong, Dashu, and a group of Takuhai County officials gathered in an office for a small meeting to arrange the cooperation between the Han and Tang tribes, as well as the development of Takuhai County itself.
Luo Chong first took out a note he had made before and said, "For cooperation with the Tang tribe, we must first focus on the market, bank, and grain station. Don't be careless when doing it, because this is also built for us. We will use it ourselves after taking over in the future, so there must be no mistakes. Whether it is the site selection or the quality of the construction, it must be guaranteed.
As for the technical personnel in the construction field, I will send another batch here after I return. If you have any needs, please report to me at any time. I will try my best to meet them.
In addition, Takumi County should also be developed well. The first is to expand the population. Didn’t we only find six clans at present? Now that these clans are doing so well, we can definitely attract other independent clans and tribes. We should find ways to contact them and try to gather all the clans except the Tang tribe in the surrounding areas. We can use force to deter them when necessary.
There are still tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the southern camp. They are idle there, so we can take them out for a walk as training. Before the expedition this winter, I will transfer the power of a guard station to you. "Luo Chong knocked on the table and said to Dashu.
"Yes, I understand, chief." Dashu nodded in response.
"Then there is the infrastructure. On the premise of ensuring housing and farming for the people, build the following factories as soon as possible, such as glass, ceramics, brick kilns, wood, sugar pressing, textiles, printing and dyeing, printing, stationery, and papermaking.
First, we should focus on the basics such as ceramics, brick kilns, wood, and textiles. For other industries such as glass, sugar extraction, textiles, etc., you should also plan out the sites first. You can concentrate them and make them into an industrial park. The transportation must be convenient. In addition, the location of the steel mill should also be planned. You can decide for yourself. "Luo Chong flipped through his notebook again and made arrangements.
"Yes, Chief, what about the shipyard over at the Tang tribe? How do we build it?"
"We should start with the basics first. Plan the place well, let them clear the land, and let them store wood first. Without wood, they can't build a boat. In addition, the wood processing plant should first build a batch of wind-powered sawmills. The place can be larger, and it can be used for expansion when the technology is transformed in the future.
I still say that, don't be lazy and don't pay attention. We will use these in the future. If there is a problem, you will be fully responsible. "
The eight counties of the Tang tribe are divided (less than 200 words are free)
Tangcheng County: Changping County, Wanghandu, Jiangcheng County, Xitao County, 16,000 people
Panshi County: Mopan County, Wanjun County, Xishan County, 6,200 people
