Wei Liangqing was dumbfounded when he received the imperial edict.
When he came to Danong Island, the imperial court had moved about five thousand immigrants from the mainland.
This number was obviously a bit small.
Wei Liangqing had to recruit people from the local Ainu people, and finally succeeded It took three years of construction to develop agriculture and animal husbandry on Danong Island, and now it has become an important grain and meat base for the Ming Dynasty.
But where will he recruit people?
The population in agriculture and animal husbandry is already tight, and he has no power to recruit people from fishing and soap and candle factories, not to mention they have no idle people.
Hou Guoxing is a member of the Jinyi Guard Qianhu in Da Nongzhou, so he has nothing to do on this island.
He gave Wei Liangqing advice: "Zhizhou, I know a place with a lot of manpower."
Wei Liangqing smiled bitterly and said: "I know what you mean, should I go and snatch the Japanese over there?
First of all, I don't have soldiers, so the local garrison can't help me snatch them.
Secondly, if the Japanese are snatched, they will report to the court that we are provocative." , isn’t that looking for scolding?”
Hou Guoxing smiled and said: "If you can't find anyone now, you are really looking for scolding.
First your uncle will scold you, and then the emperor will scold you too.
Let me tell you, in fact, there is no need to rob people, I have The solution is to let the Japanese come to help us mine.
If they come on their own, the emperor will scold you less loudly."
Wei Liangqing said anxiously: "If you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly.
If the Japanese come by themselves, the emperor will not scold me."
Hou Guoxing said: "Don't look at me as if I have nothing to do every day.
In fact, I still do a lot of things.
My Jinyiwei sneaked into Honshu Island and found out a lot of information.
I can't tell you this information.
But the local The living conditions of the Japanese are not good, and many of them don't have enough to eat all year round.
If we recruit people from there, we will give them half a stone of rice first, and those who want to come will break their heads. " Wei Liangqing said: "But what should we do if the Japanese people go to the court to cry and complain?"
Hou Guoxing said with a smile: "Those famous people are not fools.
You gave rice to the Japanese and dragged the Japanese to Danong Island, which reduced the number of mouths to eat.
They want it.
In fact, if we use grain to get food from those sulfur-producing areas, It would actually be more cost-effective to buy sulfur from Daimyo.”
Wei Liangqing shook his head and said: "This won't work.
Their sulfur was originally going to be sold to the Ordnance Bureau.
What's the difference between us buying it and buying it from the Ordnance Bureau?
Now the imperial court needs more sulfur.
And if someone competes to buy it, they will explain The price may be raised, which will cause losses to the court.
My uncle told me not to do anything harmful to the court.
The method of recruiting people you mentioned is very good.
I am not familiar with this matter.
Can you borrow it from Jinyiwei?
Give me some help.”
Hou Guoxing said: "What kind of manpower can I borrow?
Local officials can't use Jin Yiwei.
If I borrow it, do you dare to use it?
Well, I'll ask Jin Yiwei to help you recruit people.
Anyway, they are going there to spy on the news and make friends with famous people."
One of them is to buy people directly from the daimyo.
But first of all, you have to pay per person for your hard work.
Don’t worry, I don’t want a penny.

It’s all the brothers’ hard work. " Naturally, Wei Liangqing agreed.
Recruiting miners had to be paid, and he and Hou Guoxing quickly agreed on the price of one yuan per miner.
And there is no cap on the number of miners, you can take as many as you want.
Hou Guo returned to Qianhu's office excitedly and told the deputy Qianhu about the matter in detail.
The Deputy Qianhu of Jinyiwei Qianhu Station actually supervises Qianhu, so everything must be explained clearly to the Deputy Qianhu to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.
Deputy Qianhu pondered for a long time and said: "Qianhu, this is not a small amount of money.
It is not easy to record our overseas assignment funds."
Hou Guoxing sighed: "What if you don't enter the accounts?
Da Nong Prefecture will enter the accounts.
When the Ministry of Accounts or the Bureau of Economic Survey and Statistics come to check the accounts, I don't want to go to jail.
What does it matter if you have more money?
This is for our brothers."
The hard-earned money earned through blood and sweat was not embezzled by the two of us.
Am I the one who needs to be embezzled?
Besides, this matter is good for the court, good for Da Nong State, and good for us Jinyiwei.
I don’t believe that such a thing will happen.
Can anyone say anything?"
Seeing that his attitude was so determined, Fu Qianhu naturally wanted him.
This matter is shared by the entire Qianhu Institute.
Of course, the brothers hope to have some extra income after working hard outside.
Besides, even if the Ministry of Accounts thinks that the money is too much, at least it will not think that Qianhu and himself are embezzling, and they can only warn them that if they don't follow suit, they will not take all the money back.
Hou Guoxing saw that Deputy Qianhu had no objection, so he called the governor in charge of Japanese intelligence affairs and told him about the matter.
Finally, he emphasized: "Let those hundreds of households and daimyo make it clear that as long as we are in good health and not sick, please do not bring back some sick people for me."
Zhen Fu said: "In this case, the Japanese daimyo will like it very much.
If one person has half a stone and rice, the Japanese miners will not get it, and it will all belong to the daimyo."
Hou Guoxing said: "As for who the rice is given to, we don't care.
We only want people.
When the Japanese come to Danong Island, we will tell them that they bought it with half a stone of rice.
In this way, they will only hate those big names, and Work harder.
If they perform well and are willing to change their names to Chinese, we can also give them second-class household registration in Ming Dynasty, so that their children can become real Ming Dynasty people."
A Jinyiwei ship with 400 materials can carry a thousand stone meters, which can be exchanged for 2,000 people.
Da Nongzhou Qianhu Station used only five ships to exchange for 10,000 Japanese miners who were happy.
For the Japanese, the days when they can have enough to eat and don't have to worry about being drafted into war are the days of gods.
Therefore, the daimyo said that the Ming Dynasty wanted to recruit miners, and they all rushed to come.
Not only did the daimyo put their Anjia rice In order to be able to work as miners, some people dedicated their little property to the daimyo, which made the daimyo extremely happy.
Wei Liangqing only spent 10,000 yuan to solve the problem of miners in the sulfur mine.
These Japanese only had one yuan per month, only one-sixth of the salary of the miners in the Ming Dynasty.
But being able to have enough food and money is not a good thing that can be encountered casually.
One silver coin of the Ming Dynasty can buy at least one stone of rice in the Japanese country.
These Japanese people are already very satisfied.
The solution to the miners' problem gave Wei Liangqing a new idea.
There is still a large amount of land on Danong Island that has not been reclaimed, and the current manpower is only enough for existing land management.
He discussed with Hou Guoxing to use the same method to import a large number of farmers from Japan to develop Danong Island.
Danong Island became the largest agricultural production base in Ming Dynasty
