Chapter 230 Old things

For Zhao Bing, Kublai Khan's concern was just an accident, and he didn't care, because he was his food sooner or later, and he didn't expect that the noise would be so big that it would shock the entire Jiangnan. What he cared about was how many people could come to Qiongzhou, and of course he didn't want the people in Jiangnan to come and go to Qiongzhou. Although after years of war, Jiangnan conservatively said that there were tens of millions of people, and he could not settle here and could not support him. His conditions were not too high, and he could not get a hundred thousand or eighty thousand, even if he was not in vain.

Now even Yingjieyan knows that a large number of refugees came to Qiong, which means that they have achieved achievements. Zhao Bing believes that more people will come, and he secretly sent people to attract refugees in the coastal areas and arranged ferries to organize them to smuggle to Qiongzhou. As Zhao Bing knows that the productivity of the Ming and Qing Dynasties was similar to that of now, but in the late Qing Dynasty, there was more than 2 million people on Hainan Island, so there was no problem with the tolerance of land and resources. Now, there is a large area outside Yazhou City to reclaim land, even tens of thousands of people can be resettled to ensure that they have land to cultivate and houses to live in.

As long as the arrangement is made, the seeds can be sown next spring, and the first season of rice can be harvested in May, so that they can at least be self-sufficient and do not have to rely on the support of the Magistrate's Mansion. By the harvest period of the second season, there will be surplus grains to be sold to solve the problem of some military food. If there is no major disaster, there will be a scene of crisscrossing roads outside the Yazhou city without three years of hard work. Once the miserable situation of leaving the city for three miles, the financial pressure of the Magistrate's Mansion will be greatly reduced. In addition, the increase in the population will not only greatly improve the oxygen supply capacity of the army, but also provide sufficient troops for the army, further enhancing the military's military strength.

Good things must be done well. After returning to Yazhou City, Zhao Bing discussed his idea of ​​building Dayazhou with Ying Jieyan that night, and obtained his support. After discussing and sorting out the recent exhibition framework, he convened a joint meeting between officials of Jiyang County and county officials and major generals of the former army the next day. In addition to reporting on the current severe situation, he was required to prepare for combat while preparing for a large number of refugees coming, so that they could make full use of the opportunity of a significant increase in population to build water conservancy, reclaim wasteland, and build the Jiyang army into a large rear and production base of the General Army.

Regarding Dutianling Iron Mine, Zhao Bing ordered Huang Xianyao to send troops to confiscate their nests according to the instructions of the prisoners. After hearing the news, the mastermind left his home and fled, and only brought back the plundered workers. These people worked there for many years, and some were even arrested for more than ten years, and they were all experienced. He ordered to take good care of them and tried to keep them as the first batch of workers in the iron ore. After the Duzhong Academy sent people to take them over, they would go into production.

Zhao Bing had already calculated that the private workshop had only more than a hundred people who could produce about ten tons of pig iron a year. This was not the case at full load. If the manpower was increased and management was strengthened, it would be a big problem to produce forty tons of iron a year. What was the concept of forty tons of iron in ancient times? If 40 tons of iron was used to make bows and arrows. One arrow counted twenty-five grams, forty tons of iron could create one.6 million arrows. The Song Dynasty's Infantry Armor was the world at that time. At that time, the heaviest standard armor of the national chemical armed army was a set of thirty kilograms, and forty tons of iron could make more than 1,300 pieces. This played an inestimable role in the production of weapons...

"Sir, how about we rest here for a night tonight?" Zhao Bing originally wanted to stay in Yacheng for a few days in order to arrange immigration and mining. But suddenly there was news that the Yuan army had a fierce offensive and captured Dayu Ridge, an important pass that guarded Guangzhou. The threatened ******* hurriedly moved to Qianwan. However, the enemy general Liu Shen led the navy to chase him. Zhang Shijie was unfavorable to fight, so he and Jiang Wanzai guarded the emperor to Jingao. The **** he only remembered finally ran to the vicinity of Leizhou, and the young emperor fell into the water, which was scared to death. This was related to his future destiny, so he also hurriedly ended his island tour and took the island east to prepare to return to Qiongzhou. Unexpectedly, the army in Changhua could only enter the port here to shelter from the wind.

"Your Highness, this place is simple, I'm afraid it's not good, so it's better to go back to the inn to rest." Ying Jieyan frowned at the wind and rain outside the house. His Highness's child was so idle that he couldn't stay idle. After arriving in the Changhua Army, there were constant storms and rains. He couldn't stand it after holding it in the house for two days. Seeing that the wind and rain were getting less and he had to go out. But there was no good place to go here, so he went to this "Zaijiu Hall".

"Sir, Mr. Dongpo lived here for three years, so why should we stay for only one night?" Zhao Bing smiled when he heard this. The Changhua Army was no more than Yacheng and Wanzhou City. Although it was small and there was a city wall, there was not even a city here. The state yamen was very narrow, so he could only live in the inn.

"Your Highness insists on living, so I can only stay with you!" Ying Jieyan said helplessly. Because the storm is very strong, the school is on holiday, and the free living room is enough for them to live.

"Sir, does this winery have a source?" Zhao Bing visited here in his previous life. At that time, he often chose places such as ordering parties, including food, drink and play. Hainan Island has always been the choice, and he also used this east wind to travel all over the island. But at that time, it was called Dongpo Academy, and I was so dizzy that I couldn't hear what the little tour guide said.

"I think it is the allusion of Mr. Dongpo taking the word "Wuwen" from "Han Shu? Biography of Yang Xiong", which is called the house of the wine hall." Ying Jie Yan Lue replied with a thought.

"It seems to be a little smaller here?" Zhao Bing went into the yard and looked around and said in confusion. Although he drank a little more that day, he still remembered that the yard was big, there were many houses, not so simple, and the environment was much better. He felt that even if later generations rebuilt it, the gap was too big.

"Your Highness, although this is my first time, I still know some past events. Mr. Dongpo was quite miserable when he first arrived..." Ying Jieyan sighed.

Zhao Bing learned from the old man that when Su Dongpo first came to Danzhou, the prefectural official Zhang Zhong respected him very much and asked him to live in the official room and eat official food. The next year, the court sent Hunan to prosecutor Dong Bi to Guangxi for inspection and investigation. In Leizhou, he learned that Su Dongpo lived in Danzhou very well, which was quite a bit great. So he sent someone to drive Su Dongpo and his son out of the city. Su Dongpo was a foreigner with no house or land. How could he live this life!
