Chapter 955 You Ye's Letter
The replacement of the leader of the Tang tribe went smoothly. Tang Yao has now officially become the leader of the Tang tribe. Under Tang Yao's order, the Tang tribe has also begun the process of full sinicization.
The clan leaders of the eight counties and twenty-seven counties of the Tang tribe also led the soldiers of the Tiger Guards and the people of the ruling working group to move in to various places, preparing to start with the work of promoting policies, setting up government offices, and registering the people.
Regardless of whether the current Tang tribe is Han or not, as long as the Han tribe gets their population yellow book, houses and land, and then takes over their taxes, what is the difference between it and the counties of the Han tribe?
Tang Yao personally wrote a letter to Luo Chong about the situation here. Dashu of Takuhai County also reported the situation at the rate of one letter a day. Xue Tu, who had already led a team to move into the Tang tribe, also began to collect and summarize information from all over the eight counties of the Tang tribe, and reported the progress of full sinicization to Luo Chong every day. Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
However, Luo Chong, who was far away in Hanyang County, simply said after receiving these letters, "Proceed as planned, pay close attention, and report any situation at any time!" As for the rest, he said nothing.
First of all, this matter was planned, and it was not a big deal. The situation of the Tang tribe and the Xin tribe was different. As long as the current plan was implemented well, the Han tribe could peacefully absorb the entire Tang tribe into the Han tribe system.
In addition, Xiaodie and Zhan Ying's second child was about to be born. While handling government affairs, Luo Chong also had to keep his wife and children in mind. At the same time, he had to take care of the three-year-old Xiao Luocheng and Xiao Luolan. There were a lot of other things, and he was already very busy.
In Luo Chong's study, Xiao Luocheng and Xiao Luolan sat side by side at the desk, holding pencils in their hands and learning to write pinyin. Luo Chong sat opposite them, flipping through the letters sent from all over the Han tribe. Xiaodie and Zhan Ying were sitting in the pavilion in the yard eating grapes that had just been harvested this year.
Luo Chong was the first to approve the letters from Takuhai County and Tang Tribe. He told Dashu to fully cooperate with the dispatch of various places in the south, because Takuhai County is the cornerstone of the Han Tribe in the south, and it is worthy of the name of Takuhai.
The entire Qiongzhou Island can only be successfully captured with Takuhai County as the forward base. Now the integration of the Tang Tribe also needs Takuhai County as the backing, providing various materials and personnel support. The development and construction of the capital also needs Takuhai County to provide logistics for it.
Takuhai County is the center of the southern part of the Han Tribe, connecting all the interests and territories of the Han Tribe in the south. Luo Chong is also very relieved to hand over Takuhai County to Dashu for management.
Dashu may not really have much ability, but he is stable enough to do things. He can complete the tasks assigned to him with quality and quantity, and never complain to Luo Chong. This is why Luo Chong values him.
The second is the reply to Tang Yao. Luo Chong asked her to take care of her health in the south. If the situation is stable, then she can return to Hanyang County at any time. There are Dashu and Xue Tu, one civil and one military, in the south, and there will be absolutely no problem.
Then came the report of Xue Tu, which mainly talked about the soldiers stationed in various parts of the Tang tribe, as well as the reactions of the people and clan leaders in various places.
Several clan leaders in Longxi County had been arrested. When the former Han tribe soldiers and the ruling group told them that the Tang tribe had replaced the leader and would implement a policy of comprehensive Hanization within the Tang tribe, set up governments in various places, and divide the land and houses.
The money that the clan leaders had previously earned from selling gum was also searched out by the soldiers and divided equally among the people, including the looms that the clan leaders had forced to buy and sell to the people, and the oppressive terms of weaving for them for free for three years, all of which were abolished by the new county magistrate, and the people were simply overjoyed.
This meant that they not only got a lot of money for free, but also picked up a loom for each household. With these tangible benefits falling into their own pockets, who would care about the lives of those clan leaders? Anyway, they didn't do anything good.
In addition, the new county magistrate promoted local people to serve as village elders and village heads in the village, and used local people to manage local people, which soon eliminated the influence of the original clan leaders.
If the situation in Longxi County is going well, then the people in Jinpu County can be described as "welcoming the king's army with food and drink".
When the local people heard that their clan leaders were arrested, not only were there no anger, but they held water bottles and food and stood on the roadside to welcome the soldiers of the Tiger Guard.
It was really that the clan leaders of Jinpu County squeezed them too hard.
When they heard that the Tang tribe had now been replaced by Tang Yao as the leader and that the policy of comprehensive Hanization would be implemented in the Tang tribe, they were so happy that they almost jumped up. If there were no firecrackers in this year, I am afraid that the people would have set off firecrackers to celebrate.
What is the policy of the Han tribe? It is to register the households and divide the land and houses. Each man has at least 20 acres of land, and it can only be used to grow food.
If they had this policy earlier, would they still be forced by their clan leaders to grow sorghum?
Obviously, their own land is the most fertile land in the entire Tang tribe, but they are not allowed to grow food. What the hell is this? !
Therefore, after the establishment of the Jinpu County government office, the people actively cooperated with the work of the working group. They made ID cards when they needed to, measured the land when they needed to, and basically did whatever they were told to do.
The working group of Jinpu County was not vague. After obtaining the first-hand land information from the local area, they immediately organized the people to carry out restorative production. Rice was planted immediately in places where paddy fields could be converted, and soybeans, corn, and wheat were rotated in places where paddy fields could not be converted. They didn't care about anything else, and restored the local grain self-sufficiency first.
As the saying goes, if there is no grain in the jar, the heart is particularly panic. Now if we want to stabilize the hearts of the local people, the best way is to let the people see the golden grain first.
Although there was no situation of clan leaders oppressing the people in other counties of the Tang tribe, with the order of the great leader Tang Yao, the supervision of the Tiger Guards, and the coordination of the ruling working group, the "comprehensive sinicization" process in various places was also very gratifying, and no unexpected situation occurred.
In fact, this is also thanks to the Han tribe fulfilling the promise that Tang Yao made before. Although the Han tribe cannot let those clan leaders continue to be in power, the Han tribe can still satisfy their wealth and glory.
The clan leaders were granted titles when they were registered to commend their cooperation. After all, they contributed the people of their clans, so it is reasonable for the Han tribe to give them some benefits. Of course, the premise is that they do not oppose the Han tribe.
Having a title means having bigger houses and more acres of land. The arable land that is several times that of ordinary people can have several times the output. As long as they manage it well, it is possible to live a worry-free, even luxurious life.
Some clan leaders who wanted their children and nephews to become officials also picked out elite talents in their families and let them study in the official offices of the Han tribe. They started as clerks, first learning the language and writing of the Han tribe, and then learning government affairs. Just the Chinese language and Chinese characters are enough for them to learn for one or two years. Anyway, it is impossible to intervene in government affairs in a short period of time. However, the Han tribe can use this method to stabilize the clan leaders in various places.
With the cooperation of these clan leaders, the people below heard that they only wanted to carry out comprehensive sinicization, and after the implementation of the sinicization policy, they could also enjoy many benefits. Therefore, the people did not have any resistance and all began to carry out sinicization work in an orderly manner under the drive of local government offices.
After reading it, Luo Chong was very pleased. He also approved a statement that he should work hard and make persistent efforts, and then put down the report.
The next document came from the construction site of the cross-sea bridge. This was a report signed by many people. Almost all the persons in charge of the engineering command signed it. The content was mainly a report on the progress of the project.
Including the use of consumables, mainly the amount of steel bars and cement, as well as the next gap, they provided this data mainly to facilitate Luo Chong's planning of production in the rear. Otherwise, if the steel bars and cement were produced too much and could not be consumed in a short period of time, warehouses would have to be built to store these things.
Steel bars are easier to say, but cement is too precious. It must be strictly stored in a moisture-proof manner, otherwise it will solidify into pieces of stone when it comes into contact with water, and the cement will be directly scrapped.
The documents also included the latest progress photos of the cross-sea bridge project, dozens of them, showing the current status of the bridge from all aspects.
This group of photos shows that compared with the previous ones, three groups of six piers have been erected at the north end of the bridge again. The piers are structures with a solid bottom and an empty top. The three groups of piers are arranged every 50 meters. The current engineering team is building molds on these three groups of piers to prepare for pouring the bridge deck. After the pouring of these three sections of the bridge deck is completed, the length of the bridge will extend to the middle again by 150 meters.
Although it is only a few thousandths of the total length of more than 20 kilometers, the mileage of the bridge is indeed increasing. This is visible progress, which shows that everyone is working very hard.
Luo Chong was also very sad. Although he felt that the progress of this project was really slow, he couldn't bear to urge them when he thought of the current conditions and the level of technology. In the end, he only wrote a sentence in the reply letter.
"The tribe will have sufficient supply of building materials and supplies. If you need anything, please report to him and apply. I don't have any special requirements. I just hope that it can be completed with quality and quantity. Don't sacrifice quality for the pursuit of project progress. This is a cross-sea bridge, and it is also the first railway bridge in the Han tribe. It doesn't matter if the progress is slow, but it must not be damaged."
After letting the guards send the reply letter, Luo Chong began to read the report on the implementation of the national policy of "accumulation" in other counties in the Han tribe.
The report includes information on infrastructure construction in various places, mainly for the construction of warehouses at all levels, such as strategic granaries directly controlled by the central government, which no one has the right to mobilize, and community granaries built by each county to store the reserves of a county, and finally the warehouses controlled by each county.
The warehouses are mobile warehouses, mainly used to purchase food from the people and sell food to the people. In addition to being used for food turnover, the county-level warehouses must also have a certain amount of reserves. The county-level warehouses will set a reserve red line based on the population of each county. Under normal circumstances, the reserves of the warehouses must not be lower than the reserve red line to be qualified.
At present, the warehouses that the Han tribe has are the warehouses and community warehouses of each county. The warehouses were built at the beginning of the construction of each county, because they have been used all the time. Some of the community warehouses in each county have them, and some do not. They are also being built at a rapid pace. The most important strategic warehouses are still under construction. According to the reports from various places, it is expected that the construction goals should be completed before the end of the first year of the Great Life, and the grain storage plan will be officially implemented from next year.
Luo Chong also reviewed these documents and reports one by one. After completing these reports that must be reviewed every day, the rest is to see what he is interested in, or what he has been paying attention to, and then find someone to ask about the situation. For example, the two Endeavour locomotives that are currently being built at the Xingang County Locomotive Manufacturing Plant are what Luo Chong is more concerned about. The laying of the mine railway at the Xingang County Iron Mine is also what Luo Chong is currently concerned about.
But before he could ask for this information, there was a knock on the door outside the study.
Dangdangdang————
Three knocks on the door caused Luo Cheng and Luo Lan, who were writing pinyin, to look back.
"Chief, there is a letter from the remnant settlement in the north!"
The voice of a guard sounded outside the door.
"Oh? Bring it in quickly!" Luo Chong responded to the guard outside the door while knocking on the heads of the two little guys with a ruler.
Little Luo Cheng and Little Luo Lan stuck out their tongues, then turned around and wrote pinyin absent-mindedly.
The guard came in and handed a wax-sealed bamboo tube to Luo Chong, then left on his own accord.
He looked at the wax seal on the tube cover and the seal on the wax mountain, and confirmed that no one had opened it before. It was also the mark of the Northern Survivors' Settlement, so Luo Chong opened it immediately.
The so-called Northern Survivors' Settlement was actually the temporary camp that You Ye had set up in the north. The people in the camp were either rescued from the cannibals or the remaining tribesmen who escaped from the cannibals. These lost tribesmen were collectively called the Survivors by the Han tribe.
You Ye used the slogan of revenge and rescue of the captured tribesmen to gather these people together, and from time to time he would sneak attack the cannibals, or ambush the cannibals' outbound teams, and by the way search for other survivors, and if there were any, he would bring them over.
The camp of the survivors grew larger and larger, from a few hundred people at the beginning to a few thousand people later, until the population exceeded 10,000. You Ye began to be unable to manage it, and Luo Chong sent him a special governor and supplies, so You Ye could run around outside again.
This guy, like his brother You Fu, can't stay still and likes to run around. I don't know if this letter is about some new discovery, or if he is asking for supplies again. Luo Chong quickly took out the letter to check.
