Valley Emperor

Vol 2 Chapter 1076: No one's going to catch it

Although the local side has not sent an official document to approve the establishment of Dayu County, this does not prevent Dayu County from preparing for the yamen to start daily work.

And since the tax bureau took the lead in recruiting people and started vigorous taxation work, Xia Wuyan and the people in the county government have not been idle, and they are also busy measuring the land.

Why measure land, this is naturally prepared for domestic immigrants. If you want to attract local immigrants to come to this ghost place, most of the others are useless, you can only rely on the distribution of land, um, it must be free.

At present, the empire organizes local people to emigrate overseas, all of which distribute land free of charge, and at the same time provide seeds, farm tools, etc., and even guns, swords, and other weapons by means of cheap and installment payment. According to the previous management of immigrants in Luzon, Ryukyu, and Banten, the immigrants will form militia organizations after arrival, and the weapons of the militia organizations are naturally provided by the military, so it is equivalent to providing all kinds of ordnance for free.

In short, in order to attract domestic immigrants to colonize overseas, the policy that the empire conveniently provides is still very favorable. As long as you are willing to leave your hometown and bring your family to colonize overseas, then the empire will solve all your worries.

Although this method of operation will be very expensive, but it is also impossible.

After all, under the impression of thousands of years of traditional thinking, the people of China would not leave their hometown if they were not forced to.

Many people now go to the city to make money, or even go to sea to become sailors, but they always want to come back.

This immigrant does not mean to go out to work, and the place where the immigrant goes is not a good place, regardless of whether it is Luzon or Wandan, or Ryukyu Prefecture, or even the mainland Dayuan Island, Qiongzhou Island and the southwestern mountainous area. In this era, no place is suitable for human survival, especially not suitable for the survival of the people of the Tang Dynasty.

This immigrant passed, and died accidentally.

Because of many restrictions, it is not difficult to organize people to emigrate overseas in China.

Nowadays, the empire organizes immigrants to go to the outer seas, mainly from the coastal areas with more people and less land, and mainly recruits landless peasants, but even so, the recruited immigrants are not many.

But even if it is difficult, the move of emigration will not stop. Expansion and emigration have long been established as the imperial phalanx. Officials from top to bottom all know this.

Xia Wuyan is also very clear that although Dayu County is very far away from the mainland, the first batch of immigrants from China should arrive in a few months.

And before that, he needs to make all kinds of preparations!

Measuring the land and preparing the land for the immigrants is the top priority. As for the original owners of these lands, I'm sorry, Xia Wuyan and the others have never regarded the original indigenous people on the island as human beings.

In addition to land, they also need to repair and expand the port!

Although Xia Wuyan was born in the army, joining the army is a thing of the past. Although he still has some characteristics of a soldier, and he hates the navy as much as when he joined the army, in the end, he is also a local official now. Well, this **** has actually been sitting on the side of the civil servant.

As an official for more than a year, most of the time he worked in Ryukyu Prefecture. Naturally, it is very clear what is its core competitiveness for a small island such as Dayu County, which is far away from the mainland.

land?

No, this kind of sub-island is so big. Even if the terrain is relatively flat and there is more land that can be developed, it is still impossible to develop into an agricultural county in the end.

The biggest advantage of Tanegashima is that it is an important transit point for the trade route between Datang and Fusang, and even this positioning is larger than Zhongshan Island on the main island of Ryukyu Prefecture, because Tanegashima is on the edge of Fusang.

There is only a tens of kilometers wide Osumi Strait in the middle!

Such a geographical advantage made the navy choose to build a fort and a naval base here in order to control the western part of Fusang and even the entire coastal area of ​​Fusang, and at the same time obtain a forward base for the next step into Fusang Kyushu Island.

Similarly, because of such geographical advantages, Tanegashima can completely become the bridgehead of the Tang Dynasty's trade with Fusang, not just a transit station!

And to become a place dominated by maritime trade, then a port is a must!

Although the navy has started to build a port now, it is a port dedicated to the navy. Although it is possible for civilian use in the early stage, it will not work in the long run, so the construction of the wharf must start.

At the same time, there is also a need for a complete port city. After negotiation with the navy, it was decided to expand the port fortress that was originally used as a military fortress, and then the county government also moved in.

Anyway, even if it develops in the future, the population of this kind of sub-island cannot be too large, and the expanded fortress is enough to accommodate it.

But that's all in the future, because according to the Navy's forecast, it will take at least three months to complete the basic construction of the port fortress, and it will take at least a year to complete the completion.

Xia Wuyan was in a hurry, so he took the initiative to suggest to Feng Qirong: Since the construction time is too long, there must be a shortage of labor force. Can we try to introduce labor force to Fusang across the strait!

Everyone understands. Xia Wuyan said that the introduction of labor force, but Feng Qirong knew as soon as he heard it, the labor force in this population is the prisoner!

Because nearly a thousand people who are currently building ports and fortresses are all prisoners!

Bringing in labor force means taking prisoners?

And this also made Feng Qirong sigh, saying that the army's people are bad and running water. From this Xia Wuyan, you can see that he is right.

Such a damaging method~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Why didn't I think of it in advance!

Well, it seems that the plan to suppress the bandits is ahead of schedule!

Originally, Feng Qirong planned to establish a firm foothold on Tanegashima first, then block the Osumi Strait by the way, and then slowly clean up the pirates on Kyushu Island and nearby islands in the sea, but now it seems that the plan needs to be advanced, because Tanegashima Island There is a severe shortage of labor.

Feng Qirong is the commander of the Ryukyu Squadron, and his decision is naturally the decision of the entire fleet!

So, three days after the two talked, some of the ships of the Ryukyu Squadron set sail again!

This time there were not many battleships. There was only one cruiser and two frigates. The remaining two frigates stayed at Tanegashima, but there were quite a few transport ships that followed, and they were all empty ships.

The purpose is very clear, these transport ships are to pull back the spoils and prisoners of war.
