Chapter 269 Resettlement Issues(2/2)

"Only let the brothers of the navy work harder." Fang Kaiyue immediately said: "But one thing, you must not overload too much because of rush, otherwise there will be problems and the trouble will be even greater!"

"This is natural." Liao Shicong replied, "Zhang Yungang will take control of it personally, and there will be no problem."

After a pause, he said, "Then let the yamen runners and the city defense forces light the fire more to keep warm, boil more ginger soup and other things to keep warm... The meat soup and cakes are also made. It has reached this point and the people cannot suffer any more."

A staff member next to him quickly wrote the document, asked Liao Shicong to sign, and rode a horse and ran to find Zhang Tie.

These aides around Liao Shicong are not like the literati in Beijing. They are both literary and military, and can still fight at critical moments.

This is the characteristic of the frontier.

It is difficult for a simple literati to survive here.

Liao Shicong sighed: "These ordinary people went to western Liaoning at the coldest time. If they wanted to resettle them well, the court would need more support."

"Don't worry, this is beyond doubt." Fang Kaiyue Heshou said: "Once you receive the news, all the food and food resources of the court will be in place as soon as possible. You will definitely not let the people starve to death and freeze to death."

"This consumption is still too great. The key is that if they go there now, they will become this half of Liaoning, and they will bear the livelihood of everyone before." Liao Shicong said: "After more than three months ago, we moved more than 300,000 people, and now we have another 100,000. I really don't know how many years they will live on."

When Liao Shicong spoke, he kept looking at Liu Mingqi.

At the beginning, Liu Mingqi didn't understand why.

After hearing this, the boy suddenly realized.

He pondered and said, "Let's do it! The workshops that can attract the most people in Prince Yu's Mansion are the honeycomb coal workshop and the sugar workshop. The sugar workshop is not realistic for the time being due to transportation and the current season.

Then I will open two honeycomb coal workshops in Liaoning! On the one hand, it can be provided to the garrisons, and on the other hand, they can also be sold to several nearby provinces, so that everyone has work to do, so there will be no problem in life naturally!"

"Okay! OK! OK!"

Liao Shicong suddenly patted his legs and stood up again to salute: "Your Highness, you are such a living Bodhisattva! I thank you on behalf of these 500,000 people!"

The boy nodded in response with a smile.

Many provinces and territory of Dakang were similar to the ancient empires of another era.

But there are also differences.

For example, the current Liaoning Province does not include the Liaodong Peninsula, the international metropolis Tieling, Fengtian Prefecture, Fushun, etc., which are not within the scope.

But it also includes parts of Hebei, such as Chengde, Tangshan and Qinhuangdao.

More than 300,000 people who retreated from the western Liaoning Corridor were placed in these places.

The same is true for hundreds of thousands of people nowadays.

Liaoning is vast and sparsely populated, and there is no problem with accommodating so many people, but the problem is that in such a small place, there is no such large agricultural land for them to grow.

Besides, it’s winter coming soon, what else can be planted in this northeastern area?

If you don’t plant it, the commerce here is not developed. Because of the cold weather, there are basically no handicraft workshops in western Liaoning, so everyone relies on the weather for their own income.

Well, it's not right.

They lived by supplying the surrounding cities and defense soldiers' vegetables, fruits, vegetables and food.

They grow food, raise livestock, and then go hunting, chopping wood, etc., and they will do all kinds of work.

With some subsidies from the court, life can always go on.

But with so many people, it's not possible.

The court can certainly afford the lives of these people, even if it is a year or two, there will be no problem in Hebei and Shandong store a large amount of food, just to prepare for the problems in Liaoning.

But this is not a long-term solution.

Can you control them for one year, two years, or even three to five years, but can you control them for a lifetime?

If they do nothing, not only will adults be useless, but also children will be useless. What will the pigs raised in captivity become in the end?

That's why Liao Shicong thought of asking them to do something.

Dakang is a commercial society, with all kinds of workshops emerging one after another, but why do people come to build workshops in Liaoning?

Everyone's business is basically fixed, and there are few sudden development workshops that require large-scale recruitment of workers.

Moreover, when people recruit people, they usually recruit local people, so local officials will not allow them to give these job opportunities to people from other places.

Just so happened that Liao Shicong knew that there was a workshop that needed to recruit people on a large scale, and it was not limited to local areas. It even had 30,000 to 50,000 people in one move, or even more.

That is the honeycomb coal workshop in Prince Yu’s Mansion.
