Chapter 1120 The Merit of Expanding Territory
Would Luo Chong worry about how to feed the people?
Would he worry that the people would have nothing to do?
How is that possible? ! ! !
He had a vision that was thousands of years ahead of this era. He could find a lot of things for the people to do with just a few ideas. What
he was most worried about was actually the lack of population .
Just like the tricycle business, it would be a taxi company now. Just such a business could support so many people and families.
However, when it comes to this human-powered tricycle, Luo Chong instantly thought of the rickshaws in the Republic of China, but he did not intend to promote that evil thing.
What is a rickshaw? A rickshaw is a symbol of slaves. People are treated like animals and pulled in front of them! ! !
This is simply an anti-human thing. Such things can only give birth to the surname of slaves in people's hearts.
The Han tribe is not a slave state.
Although the Han tribe has a large number of slaves, they are all official slaves. People are not allowed to raise private slaves.
The Han Law stipulates that it is forbidden for the people to buy and sell people, and it is even more forbidden to keep private slaves.
If you want to keep a few servants, that's fine, but you have to pay to hire them, just like hiring a nanny in modern times. The relationship between the nanny and the owner is an employment relationship, a relationship between a boss and a worker, which is very different from slaves and slave owners.
Although the human-powered tricycle is also human-powered, it is ridden on the vehicle and pedaled, so it cannot be considered as livestock, but a driver, or a driver.
Don't look at it as just one more wheel, this is a symbol of human rights!
You Zhi and Da Shu also gradually came to their senses, and Da Shu said.
"If the leader only plans to immigrate 50,000 people in advance, it is not a difficult task. We can gather together from all over the Han tribe, and there is the Qiao family. Don't they have at least a few thousand people? These people can also be supplemented to various places, and some people can be exchanged from various counties.
"In addition, the leader mentioned the establishment of factories, as well as commercial and service industries. This is an existing plan. If it can be linked to immigration to the capital, it can solve the problem of jobs.
"As for the problem of survival, since the chief has already found a solution, there is nothing to say, but I still have a worry.
"The tractor that the chief mentioned can automatically cultivate the land. The land cultivated by a farm machinery operator can feed thousands of people. Although I have never seen this thing, I heard that this rotary tiller also has a harvester, and currently only dryland crops can be cultivated.
"Things like wheat, corn, sorghum, and corn. Wheat and corn are considered refined grains, but the staple food of our Han tribe is still rice. If we can't grow rice by mechanized farming, then the people in the capital can only eat pasta?!"
Luo Chong hesitated when he heard this qualification question, and spoke after a moment of thought.
"This question, in a short period of time, can we grow more wheat, corn and sorghum? Wheat is a fine grain and easy to store. The capital can keep some for itself, and the rest can be exchanged for rice from other counties.
"Corn has a high yield and can be used as a supplementary food. It can also be used to raise livestock and provide meat. Sorghum has a high added value. Sorghum rice can be used to make wine, and sorghum stalks can be used to make sugar. We can use sorghum to produce sugar and wine, which are side dishes, and sell them to other counties to buy rice.
"This will not only enrich the types of side dishes for people in various places, but also provide sufficient rice for the capital.
"Of course, these are all short-term plans. The research institute will definitely develop agricultural machinery for mechanized rice cultivation. When we can use machinery to cultivate rice, we don't have to worry about these things!"
Dashu nodded when he heard this. He didn't know how to research agricultural machinery, but as long as he knew that the leader had an idea, the leader was responsible for giving ideas, and the managers under him were responsible for executing them, there would be no mistakes in the future.
You Zhi, who was standing next to him, became interested when he heard Dashu talking about the thousands of people of the Qiao family, so he asked immediately.
"Leader, County Magistrate Lin, have you found out the specific location of the Qiao family tribe?!"
Luo Chong looked at him and nodded, saying affirmatively.
"That's right. When I passed by the village where the Qiao family lived, I asked their patriarch, and he said that their Qiao family tribe lived in the area on the east bank of Honghu Lake, west of Liuyang River, and north of the capital.
"One of them is the largest tribe of the Qiao family, all of which live together in the form of villages. Each village has only a few hundred people, but these villages together have three to four thousand people. The rest of the people have all migrated in all directions like them.
“But you should also know that tribes that rely solely on hunting and gathering don’t have much stored food. Even if they really migrate, they won’t go far, so I predict that they must be nearby.
“In this way, we can conservatively estimate that we can collect 5,000 people from this area, and if we handle it properly, we can directly convert them into citizens of the Han tribe, rather than slaves without household registration. “
It’s just that your two uncles are busy now. One manages Heyuan County in the north, and the other is in charge of industrial construction in the south, so I don’t know who to send to be in charge of this matter for the time being.
“Now that you mentioned the Qiao family, I wonder if you have any candidates you can recommend to be in charge of this matter? ! "
Hearing that the leader asked him to recommend someone, You Zhi immediately started thinking, and after thinking for a while, he actually picked out a person, so he immediately said.
"Chief, I actually have someone I can recommend. This person's name is Ye Ying, and he is a general flag officer under my Jinwu Guard. Although he holds a military position, the leader knows that except for the guards around the leader, these Jinwu Guards were previously responsible for gathering information in various places and are very good at communicating with people.
"And it was Ye Ying who discovered the group of Youqiao immigrants and lured them into our Han tribe. Therefore, Ye Ying is very familiar with Youqiao's Qiao Yan and the elder. It was also Ye Ying who was responsible for helping them build the village.
"If the leader lets Ye Ying be in charge of this matter, Youqiao's Qiao Yan and the elders will definitely cooperate very well, so that we can get twice the result with half the effort! "
Luo Chong also became interested when he heard it. He knew that it was the Jinwu Guard under You Zhi who brought this group of You Qiao family here, but he didn't know the details. If the relationship between this Ye Ying and You Qiao family was really that good, with the active cooperation of Qiao Yan and the elders, it would indeed be twice the result with half the effort. Thinking of this, Luo Chong immediately said.
"Find this Ye Ying here, I want to meet him."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to do it right away. "
You Zhi agreed happily and immediately asked his personal soldiers to call people.
Although he was not in charge of this matter, the person in charge was recommended by him and was one of his subordinates. If it was really done well, would his own credit be missed?!
So You Zhi was very positive about this matter.
Conservatively estimated, there are 5,000 people, which is equivalent to a large county town. If it is a small county that has just started to be built, it can be equivalent to two.
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as 5,000 people from the Qiao tribe can be brought here, it is equivalent to the credit of expanding the territory of the Han tribe by two counties!
Can it be a small credit that is related to expanding the territory?!
