Chapter 2975 persuasion
Today, only the Central Plains area can migrate out. The rest of the area, Jiangnan, Lingnan, Beidi, and the west are all vast and sparsely populated. How can people migrate out?
But if you move from the Central Plains...
Ning Yushi looked up and looked around, not to mention that people leave their hometowns, most people in this world do not want to leave their hometowns, but say that coming from a prosperous place in the Central Plains to a poor place, many people are not only psychologically unacceptable, but also physically unacceptable. accept.
The prince's character is inherently domineering. If he is allowed to move the people, how many families will be separated.
At that time, it will not be good if there is a case of renunciation and ruin.
Therefore, Yushi Ning has a lot of opinions on Bai Shan's slander that the prince gave him the back door to relocate the population.
Bai Shan could only press this matter down first, and took the Prince and Governor Guo for a stroll around everyone. By the way, he took a look at the nearby villages and learned about the folk customs.
There are very few nearby villages. Xiaowa Village is the closest one. Besides Xiaowa Village, there are two other small villages. One village has only ten or so households, the other has only twenty households. no one.
Because the three villages are close to the sea, they all rely on fishing for a living. They rarely grow crops. Even if they are planted, the harvest is very small.
The new salt farm opened in Dajiawa, not only young men can go to work in the salt farm, but also women, so they have a lot more extra income.
Of course, in order to live a better life, other than those who applied for the salt field, the rest of the family would still go to sea.
Although it is dangerous to go to sea, the fishermen also have their own experience. Generally, they will check the weather one day in advance to decide whether to go to sea the next day.
Of course, sometimes they can't see it accurately, and then it depends on luck.
Their fishing boats are not good enough to compete at sea, so they can only fight for luck.
The prince stayed for two more days and watched them go out to sea to fish in the wind and waves.
Since Dajiawa is a little far from the county seat, the fish that can be caught are kept in seawater and sent to the county seat or Qingzhou city for sale another day.
Of course, now there are nobles like the prince, and people who haven't eaten sea fish a lot will just wrap it up, but in normal times, most of the fish are eaten at home, and the rest will be processed into salted fish, and then hang out to dry. .
Every time the prince walked by, he smelled a strong smell before he got close.
This made the prince sigh with a rare sigh, "The livelihood of the people is very difficult, and there is a lot of open land in this area. It is obvious that they can open up wasteland directly, but they did not open up wasteland. Obviously, for the common people who cultivate the land, it is not enough to have land alone. It’s good to be able to grow food.”
He reminded Bai Shandao: "Don't just focus on the salt field. This land still needs to be managed and managed. If you can reclaim all these wastelands and open them into good fields, it will also be a great merit."
Bai Shan said: "...Your Highness, do you know why the terrain is flat, but there is not enough crops to grow?"
The prince shook his head very simply, "I don't know."
"Because it's near the sea," he said, "sometimes there are strong winds and waves in the sea, and when the tide is high, the sea water will pour up, and the soil is salty, so the yield of food is very low."
Prince: "Is the land still salty?"
"Of course, the earth has the strength of the earth, and naturally it is also divided into salty and mild." Bai Shan thought of something, paused, and said, "It should be salty and sour."
The prince asked curiously, "Does wheat like salty soil or sour soil?"
Bai Shan kicked the ground under his feet and said, "No matter what kind of soil it likes, it must not like this hard sandy soil anyway."
Raising land is much more difficult than building salt fields and ferry crossings, because it takes longer, and if there is no shortage of fertility, this kind of land will take ten years to grow.
But this thing does need people to start doing it. He works for six years first, and his successor works for another four years, and he will almost be raised.
So after hesitating for a while, he nodded to the prince, "His Royal Highness said that I will try my best to raise the soil, but this way, the minister needs more manpower."
Still need people.
The prince turned and left.
Bai Shan quietly glanced back and saw that Yushi Ning hadn't followed. He was probably guarding the allocated salt field in the salt field.
Bai Shan immediately followed the Crown Prince and whispered to him, "I also know that Your Highness is not good at relocating."
Last night, the prince who was caught and persuaded by Ning Yushi heard the words and looked at Bai Shan, "You know, why mention it again, Gu has already promised you to assign 200 soldiers to you."
He emphasized: "Don't worry, they are all bachelors."
Bai Shan: "...Your Highness, I don't mind the soldiers who are married. If they are willing to bring their families over, I will not only give them land, but also give them money."
The prince raised his eyebrows, "Spend money?"
Bai Shan responded immediately and said, "Your Highness, this is exactly what the minister wanted to say. We can't force it, we can lure it."
"I have been to Qizhou, where there are many young people who do part-time jobs for people because they have no land after becoming a Ding. After losing their land for various reasons, there are many peasants who have to be tenant farmers. If Chen is willing to give They divided the land and gave them a settlement fee, so they should be willing to come to Beihai County.”
Prince: "...You and Tang He didn't come back with a large batch of land, but the newly arrived Inspector Yu divided all the land."
Bai Shan: "It's a drop in the bucket, there are still many people who have lost their land in Qizhou, and there are not many places in the Central Plains like Qizhou.
The Central Plains stabilized relatively quickly, coupled with good land and a developed economy, many people stayed in the Central Plains after the world was at peace, and people from the Central Plains were particularly able to give birth.
There are many aristocratic families, and more children are born, and they compete with each other for land. In the early years, they were unable to make ends meet.
There are not many natural disasters every year, but there are always people who lose their land due to various reasons. In order not to pay taxes, they wander around. This is the refugee.
As soon as the prince heard his hint, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes and asked, "Where do you want to start?"
Bai Shan felt that this kind of thing should start with a familiar place first, so he said, "Jingcheng, Yongzhou and Qizhou are good, especially Qizhou."
Pick up the persimmon softly.
Prince: "Can Inspector Yu agree? Or do you make Gu and Inspector Yu feud?"
"His Royal Highness, this matter is the work of the minister. You only need to mediate in the middle. How could it be possible for you to be enmity with the Governor Yu?"
Prince: "You tell Gu first, what do you exchange with Governor Yu?"
He robbed people from other people's territory, could Inspector Yu hate him?
Bai Shan cleared his throat and said, "I have some friendship with Inspector Yu."
The prince looked at him suspiciously.
"Okay, Your Highness, Feng Zongping is placed in Taibai County, Qizhou."
After being a classmate for several years, Bai Shan felt that this matter could still be discussed with Feng Zongping.
The prince suddenly realized, after thinking about it, he nodded and said: "Okay, you can do it. If the Governor Yu makes trouble, I will mediate for you."
Bai Shan was overjoyed, he and Man Bao made a list of places and people who could grab people last night.
see you at ten pm
