Chapter 175: Summer Harvest Approaches


Zhoushan Island, Dinghai County.Surrounded by Wang Chaoxian and others, Zhao Ming came to the county office, and an official took out the brochure and explained: "Dashuai, this is the civil register of Dinghai County, with 6,200 households and a population of more than 76,000 people.This is registered, and the military and civilians who have recently come to the island are not registered!

”There are more than 10,000 registered households on Jintang Island, with a population of only more than 60,000 people, and there are more than 6,000 registered households in Zhoushan, but there are more than 70,000 people, which makes Zhao Ming puzzled for a while, but after thinking about it carefully, it is clear that the people on Jintang Island fled from the south of the Yangtze River, and some of the original families of more than a dozen people may go to the island in two or three people, while the people of Zhoushan have not gone through the war, and many families have several brothers, so the population of a family is much more.Zhao Ming asked: "Although the people who have come to the island recently have not been registered, but the government wants to distribute food relief, there must be a number, right?"

”The official hurriedly said: "The humble post can only be estimated approximately, and the total should exceed 400,000!"

”Generally speaking, a county with a population of more than 100,000 is an upper-class county, and most of the middle- and lower-class counties have a population of only a few tens of thousands, with the exception of the densely populated Jiangnan region, such as Wujiang County, which has a population of hundreds of thousands.Dinghai was originally only a medium-sized county, but now hundreds of thousands of people have poured in, and if Jintang Island is added, the population controlled by Zhao Ming is estimated to exceed 600,000.Originally, only a few tens of thousands of people could be raised, but now even after clearing the wasteland, there are at most more than 200,000 people, and there is still a problem of feeding more than half of the population, which cannot be solved.Zhao Ming groaned: "Mr.

Chen, the population on the island should be counted as soon as possible, and then evacuated and resettled!"

”Chen Mingyu said: "Don't worry, the Humble Duty Association will first organize the dependents of the 20,000 army into four guards, each with 5,000 households, and the rest of the people will be organized into 1,000 households to manage the population." ”Zhao Ming nodded, in a year and a half, from being alone to managing more than 600,000 people, his strength has grown too fast.In the face of such a big mess, Zhao Ming was actually a little confused.Those who can lead 100 people are elites, and those who can manage 600,000 people are the only talents in 10,000.Zhao Ming obviously doesn't have such an ability, if he relies on his personal energy, even if he is exhausted, he can't manage so many people.As a high-energy centralized country in the world that can manage tens of millions of people, China still has a very good set of management, and has long derived many means and physique.These more than 600,000 people are spread all over the Zhoushan Islands and Chongming Sandbank, the original social structure has been destroyed, and the system of relying on the squire and family for grassroots management has collapsed, which makes people feel like a mess, but as long as they are included in the military household system, restrained by the system, and do things according to the rules of the system, then it is not difficult to manage more than 600,000 people.Chen Mingyu nodded, "I understand, but this matter still needs the cooperation of Zhou Zhixian!"

”Zhou Zhixian's name is Zhou Zishan, he is not an official in the physique of the soldiers, he is in charge of the households, directly appointed by the imperial court, and is not under the command of the envoys, but obeys the orders of the Zhejiang Buzheng History Division, which are two different teams.Although Zhao Ming can't control him, but now the situation has changed, the central government has lost control of the locality, Zhao Ming wants to kill him, and the central government can't help it.Zhou Zhixian had been at the mercy of Huang Binqing earlier, and now he listened to Zhao Ming, he didn't feel anything wrong, and immediately took the initiative to say, "Humble and willing to serve!"

”Zhao Ming bowed slightly: "This marshal will write to the imperial court and include Dinghai in the guard, and then the Zhou County Order will also be transferred to the capital command envoy." ”Zhou Zishan heard this, but he was overjoyed, "In the future, only the handsome horse will be the first!"

”Zhao Ming nodded, and then said, "Let's go, let's go to Huang Dashuai's mansion to have a look!"

”When the next group of people came to Huang Binqing's mansion, the bloodstains and corpses inside had been cleaned up.In the courtyard, the soldiers were cleaning out boxes of belongings, the scribes were busy counting, and the soldiers of the pacification division stood aside with spears to maintain order and supervise the soldiers.Zhao Ming strengthened the Zhenfu Division, selected capable soldiers, and appointed many nerds to serve as anti-pacification officers.These people must be familiar with military law, and have a strong tendon to assume the role of a military police, picket the military discipline of the whole army, and ensure that Zhao Ming's orders can be carried out, and have great rights.At this time, Li Zhongming saw Zhao Ming coming in, hurriedly collected the dry tobacco pouch, and came over to salute, "Handsome!"

”Zhao Ming saw the belongings piled up in the yard and said with a smile: "Lao Li, how is the harvest?"

”Li Zhongming said a little excitedly: "Handsome, Huang Binqing is really a rich man." ”As he spoke, he pointed to the boxes in the yard, "This is only a part, and I found a silver cellar in the backyard, full of silver!"

”Silver is good, but it is not easy to spend it now.Zhao Ming wasn't very excited, but just asked, "How many are estimated?"

”Li Zhongming said: "It is estimated that it will be at least 400,000 taels. ”"Four hundred thousand taels?"

Zhao Ming gasped, this is more than what he got into the Yangtze River, but he didn't expect Huang Binqing to be a billionaire.Zhao Ming remembered seeing one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty before, which was equivalent to more than 600 yuan in later generations, of course, inflation now, may not be accurate, but based on this calculation, Huang Binqing's silver alone is worth more than 200 million, plus other property, it is estimated to be 400 million.This Huang Binqing's annual income is about six or seven hundred thousand, which can be said to be a huge greed.Chen Mingyu said: "Huang Binqing relied on the benefits of Zhoushan to carry out smuggling trade, and he didn't want to be able to save so much wealth!"

”This money is still left after raising 10,000 soldiers, maintaining the sailors, and the expenses of his subordinates, and there are still so much, how much money does the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong have?

Zhao Ming really wanted to rob him.At this time, Chen Mingyu suddenly reminded: "The marshal said to the outside world that Huang Binqing died in battle, and now he directly copied his family property, will it?"

”Zhao Ming frowned slightly when he heard this, but then he waved his hand, everyone was killed, did he return it to Huang Binqing, "In the first battle of Jintang Island, the soldiers participated in the battle, take out some of it, and reward the soldiers!"

”Zhao Ming's annexation of Zhoushan, many people can see it, but as long as the reason is reasonable, plus Zhao Ming is okay and does not treat them badly, they will not be too serious.After all, Huang Binqing is dead, and his henchmen have been solved and exiled by Zhao Ming, and the rest of the people are eating together, and now they have divided the money, and the idle eggs are painful, so they will stand up for Huang Binqing.Chen Mingyu nodded, and Zhao Ming immediately asked, "How about the grain depot reserves in the city?"

”Li Zhongming said: "When it is recorded in the account book that there are still 60,000, I just don't know if there is a discrepancy!"

”Chen Mingyu's face was happy, "If there is this grain, it will be able to last until the summer harvest."

After the summer harvest, it can last for a few more months. ”Zhao Ming frowned, the grain is always not enough, two crops of rice, can not meet the consumption of more than 600,000 people, halfway through the meal, the field is not ripe, but the family food is finished, the situation is a little embarrassing.Zhao Ming pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Mr.

Chen just said that the summer harvest is about to be?"

”Chen Mingyu nodded, "Twenty days at most, it should be able to be collected!"

”Zhao Ming's eyes narrowed, "Since entering the Yangtze River at the end of last year, Ben Shuai has been entangled by Huang Binqing, and he can't pay attention to Jiangnan, and Hong Lao Thief is afraid that he will forget Ben Shuai."

It seems that it is time to visit him. ”~~~~~ (Thank you for the 2000 tips from the front to the end, ask for a monthly pass, recommend, subscribe, and ask for a book list promotion.) )()
