Agricultural problems are China's biggest problem.
China's large population determines that most people have to dig food in the fields.
Zhao Lie now understands the importance of land.
He has more than 200,000 Liao people under his command, most of whom In terms of farming, Zhao Lie plans to resettle 30,000 to 40,000 people on Jeju Island.
Although only a small number of Liao residents can be resettled, this will give other Liao residents hope and hope.
Jeju Island is not big, with mountains and hills in the middle.
Only the north, west, and south have a long and narrow seaside plain.
Because it is an island, the land is relatively barren and does not retain water.
Rice cannot be grown.
The local area only cultivates beans, sorghum and other miscellaneous grains.
A large part of the food had to be transported from the mainland, not to mention tens of thousands more mouths.
However, as far as Zhao Lie's little agricultural knowledge is concerned, there is basically no problem with sweet potatoes where sorghum can be cultivated.
Just pay attention to the drainage of the fields, as long as they are not in depressions.
After all, sweet potatoes are afraid of waterlogging.
The yield of sweet potatoes is astonishing, and there is no problem in feeding tens of thousands of people on the island.
Therefore, Zhao Lie is eager to know about the sweet potato harvest in Shidao.
After all, sweet potatoes have not been introduced to the Ming Dynasty for many years at this time.
Is there any problem of acclimatization here?
This is not only related to the stability of the people of Zuo Qianhu, but also to Jeju Island.
The question of how many people can be resettled is that Jeju can resettle a lot of Liao people if the output is sufficient.
Before that, measuring the acres of fields and establishing the number of mature fields and wastelands is the most urgent thing.
You don’t need to think about it this year, but next year’s spring plowing cannot be missed under any circumstances.
Therefore, a Qing Dynasty group headed by Bai Shidi Weiyu Zhu Rongsheng was established.
They followed Ma Tao and Xu Hong in Shidao to clean up the fields, which can be said to be quite experienced.
Zhao Lie allowed them to recruit more than a hundred people to participate in the Qing Dynasty.
At the same time, Zhao Lie also equipped them with three hundred soldiers.
Without the suppression of force, the local gentry and landlords would not give in.
After all, the acres of land were clearly measured, so they All the hidden fields were cleared, and the taxes on the extra acres were a lot of money.
This was as painful as cutting their flesh to the bone.
Resistance was certain, but it was just a question of how to resist.
The location of Jianghu Camp was finally decided at the foot of a hill more than ten miles south of Jeju City.
There is a large river flowing from the central mountainous area, and it is not on the original main road around the island.
It is relatively hidden.
Since Jeju Island has no minerals, Therefore, Zhao Lie has no plans to build an iron smelting plant.
After all, transporting a large amount of ore from overseas to Jeju is too costly.
The wrought iron produced by Shidao Iron Works can be shipped to Jeju to cast cannons, armor and muskets.
In this way, the function of Jeju Island Craftsman Camp is much more pure than that of Shidao.
The weapons factory occupies a smaller area than Shidao and is less difficult to build.
Zhao Lie believed that after the arrival of the Liao people, the craftsman camp would be quickly established and operational.
On the contrary, the location of the military camp and the shipyard was difficult.
There is a coastline of about five or six miles long to the west and east of Jeju Port with sufficient water depth.
However, it is impossible for the military camp and the shipyard to be adjacent because each The scope of the place is not large enough, but if Separation also faces certain problems.
This is not a stone island.
The Japanese country of Korea is nearby, threatening the shipyard.
After all, this is not a stone island and is guarded by a fort at the mouth of the bay.

Jeju Port is an open port with relatively convenient entry and exit.
Once the shipyard is damaged, the loss will be is huge.
Finally, Zhao Lie, Munoz Chiwewanji and others decided to establish a naval camp on the west side and a shipyard on the east side.
The military camp would also set up three hundred general escort teams to protect the shipyard.
At the same time, surrounding the naval camp The battalion and the shipyard will each build five forts.
This is no small project.
After all, the cost of building a fort is nearly a thousand taels of silver.
Plus twelve cannons, as well as salary rewards for the fort gunners and guards, each fort does not cost three thousand taels.
I can't win more than two taels of silver.
The refugee camp was located in the west of the city, covering an extremely large area.
Zhao Lie knew that more than 100,000 Liao people would pass through this area to open up the Ezo land, so it was too small to accommodate them.
The east of the city was designated as the location of the cavalry camp.
This was also because the east side The outer sea is close to the Japanese kingdom of Korea and the horse farms in the eastern hilly areas, so the cavalry camp is located on the east side to facilitate support.
Zhao Lie ordered Manji to recruit people from Jeju City to build a refugee camp in the west of the city.
It was very simple, that is, building wooden fences, building passages in the camp, digging underground public toilets, and reserving places for schools, garment factories, etc.
These were the refugee brigade Build later.
Today's work is simple, but the number is huge, which is nearly 100,000, so it is necessary to call on the people, officials and slaves to work, and try to build it before the refugees arrive, so that the tired Liao people who have just got off the boat will not There is nowhere to go to reduce the incidence of illness.
This time, Wanji recruited court officials to take care of the food, and paid him five coins a day.
The result, of course, was to go there enthusiastically.
North Korea's Jeju Palace no longer exists, and the official slaves who used to be attached to Jeju Palace no longer had any food.
Although they only had two small meals, they were just hungry after all.
When you work here, Master Ming will provide you with three full meals.
Although it is grains, you can still eat enough.
There is also five coins of silver.
Previously, slaves and peasants had to bring their own meals when doing corvee work.
Where can I find this good job?
.
Wanji summoned more than a thousand official slaves and hundreds of peasants in one day, and started work the next day.
It is also impossible to give money to the people of the court.
If the people of Liao come and have a full meal every day, they will still have half a tael of silver every month.
The people of the court will not say it openly, but will complain in private.
It is easy to become alienated and be taken advantage of by people with evil intentions.
Anyway, the number of Han people on the island will increase in the future.
If they surpass the people of the court and only teach Chinese, they will be assimilated after decades of this, so Zhao Lie treats them all as people under his rule, without favoring one or the other.
Islander Zhao Lie doesn't have to worry.
There are still many things that worry him, especially the pasture issue.
Guan Ming, Han Jian's receipt has arrived.
The smooth capture of Dajing Xipu makes Zhao Lie happy.
The loss of many soldiers is not many, which makes Zhao Lie most satisfied.
However, the contents of the letters brought by both parties were not accepted at night.
They were arguing endlessly.
Guan Ming scolded Han Jian.
In short, there was no point in taking credit from friendly forces.
Han Jian argued that he had to do this in order to seize the entire island as soon as possible.
The two sides were arguing like crazy.

Zhao Lie ordered the two men to be punished for one month.
Guan Ming made his own mistakes in planning and suffered the consequences.
Han Jian did not make a big mistake.
After all, he wanted to seize the whole island as soon as possible.
However, if they were not punished, Guan Ming would not care.
He would suffer the consequences.
But I am afraid The morale of the thousands of officers and soldiers under his command was damaged.
Zhao Lie realized the importance of balance at this time, so Han Jian was unlucky.
Just after the matter was settled, the most troublesome news for him in the evening came.
The document describing the actual situation of the Jeju Island Racecourse was delivered by Li Lu on a flying horse.
Under the dim oil lamp, Zhao Lie read the situation of the racecourse.
It turned out that Gu Min went through a lot of trouble and selected 618 horses that were reasonably useful.
Horses, including more than 230 male horses and more than 370 mares, all between three and eight years old, with a height of more than 1.20 meters, and more than 480 two-year-old horses The pony in front of them, and the other 21,100 or so are either small or old.
In short, most of them are defective products.
As for how to deal with it, Gu Min had no choice but to ask Zhao Lie for instructions.
Damn, Zhao Lie cursed in his heart.
No wonder in history, North Korea was defeated when it faced the Japanese and Japanese slaves.
Look at their horses.
It’s really weird.
In the cold weapon era, there were only infantry and no cavalry.
It would be a tragedy to face off against the elite cavalry of a powerful enemy.
The Great Song Dynasty That's clear evidence.
North Korea's war horses are probably just for sending messages and calling the police, but are useless beyond that.
If North Korea hadn't bought some Mongolian horses in the north as war horses, I'm afraid the north would have been in danger long ago.
Looking at the huge number of more than 20,000 horses and their negligible effect, thinking about the manpower and material resources they consumed, it really gave Zhao Lie a headache.
However, the waste must be reused no matter what, to help them find a way out or reduce their burden.
Zhao Lie thought about it and just came up with a general strategy.
As for the specific implementation, he had to discuss it with his colleagues.
Gu Min's letter was not all bad news.
According to his estimation, there would be no problem in grazing 60,000 to 70,000 horses in the mixed area of hills and plains in the eastern part of the island.
In other words, the horse farm that Zhao Lie has been looking for has finally been found.
After all, the Shidao Horse Farm is the end of feeding thousands of horses.
Most of them can only be kept in captivity, which is not conducive to maintaining the vitality of the war horses and their ability to survive in the wild.
A place of transition.
The final location was determined to be the Martyrs' Shrine, which is the place where military souls are forged and where people will pay homage to heroes in the future.
Zhao Lie determined it to be five miles southwest of the city, covering an area of dozens of acres, with flat land in front and an upward slope behind.
The gentle slope, green mountains and green water here is a good place. sThanks Bi Shi for being a bit busy this summer, Ziyu 119 Xiuyin Overseas A Fei Wu Tianya Wilderness natives for the reward, bow and thank you
