Chapter 358 Wei's Economics (3)
According to the current population of more than 20,000 (including more than 2,000 Ming people immigrants), there are 427 Bao, 3995 Jia, and 10,246 Qiang (the number of Baojia households is divided according to natural villages). Baozheng, Chief A's main responsibility is to convey the orders of the East Coast people, ban the random movement of the North Koreans, guard against wind, water, fires, search for bandits, maintain local public order, maintain roads, bridges, warehouses, tax collection, assist the East Coast patrol police in handling cases, hold anti-East Coast movements and other illegal events, and have to undertake more chores during wartime.
At present, these people are mainly composed of North Korean military husbands, who are trusted by the East Coast people, as well as the exiled North Korean criminals on Jeju Island. They do not have much feelings for the North Korean regime and are even full of hatred. It is perfect for serving as the minions of the East Coast people. They will act as the tentacles and eyes of the East Coast people, leaving the North Korean county magistrate Kim Hong-bun who has been making small moves with the East Coast people has no choice but to do anything.
Each household under Baojia also has considerable obligations. For example, when they encounter strangers who stay in a house, their families travel far or return home, they must report to Chief A. After Chief A learns, he reports to Baozheng, and Baozheng then reports to the local patrol police station. If there is any delay or concealment, they will be punished immediately, and the surrounding neighbors will also bear the responsibility for joint seizure.
According to Wei Boqiu's plan, after a few years of implementing the Baojia system in Busan and Wonsan, North Korea's strong men will be organized to establish a security team. The security team's posts were initially set at 500, and the members were all served by people over 16 years old and under 40 years old. Officers at all levels of the security team were selected by people from the East Coast, trained during the slack farming and disbanded during the busy farming farming, and used standard sticks as weapons. If the situation is unstable, they will be immediately concentrated on guarding. Of course, if the members of the team are unstable or disobedient, the officers will immediately fire them and severely punish them.
After these systems were established, I believe that the Koreans in the Busan area will no longer be able to make any big waves. In time, in this era when national ideas have not yet emerged, the colonial rule of these Koreans by the East Coast people will gradually stabilize. After the rule is stabilized, the first priority is to develop the economy. After all, Wei Bo Qiuhua made great efforts to establish a colonial ruling order in Busan and other places. It is not for fun, but for more efficient exploitation and exploitation of local Koreans, so that they can become blood transfusions for the East Coast people in the Far East.
However, it is not easy to develop the economy in the Busan area. First of all, this place was a remote and desolate small fishing port in the Joseon era. Even when demarcating the boundary, some of the land on the fertile and fertile Luodong River was allocated to the East Coast people, but overall, it is still extremely poor. To develop the place first, some water conservancy facilities originally built by the Korean Kingdom on the Joseon River were renovated, and then the fields were vigorously reclaimed and various crops were planted in the local area.
However, people from the East Coast have been very good at building. After arriving at Busan Port on the 20th, they immediately ordered through the president of the East Coast Expatriate Reclamation Association, Jinwu Kei (Ro Tiansheng has been transferred to Wonsan), who ordered that all the new Ming people would move to the banks of the Luodong River to live with some local Koreans, and re-divided the local baojia relationship and land property rights to ensure that everyone could get a farmland with an area of no less than five acres. Of course, some North Koreans whose vested interests were violated rose up to resist, but were soon suppressed by the soldiers of the garrison who rushed over after hearing the news. These rebels and their families would be locked up and sold to the Dutch.
The people on the east coast also allocated about 1,000 cattle, 3,000 sheep, 400 horses and 300 pigs from the ranch on Jeju Island, and distributed them to farmers in the Luodong Riverside planting area in the form of physical loans. The distribution principle is basically set as Ming farmers to be preferred, Baozheng Jiachang family is preferred, and the farmers recommended by Baozheng Jiachang are preferred, and so on, it is the turn of ordinary Korean farmers to be turned into.
The agricultural area reclamation plan on the banks of the Luodong River is an important part of Wei Boqiu's development of the Far East economy. The climate here is suitable, the water source is abundant, and the land is fertile. If the three-crop rotation system that has proven to be more efficient on the east coast is implemented here, I believe that I will definitely get a bumper harvest of grain. Then these harvested grains can support the large-scale military operations of the East Coast people in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the effect is undoubtedly huge.
In addition to agricultural planting, Busan Port is also a port with excellent conditions. The ambitious Wei Boqiu plans to spend three to five years to build a shipyard, Yonggu Wharf, lighthouse, coastal defense fort, medium-sized prism and a large number of material warehouses in Busan Port. Then rely on this port to radiate to the mainland of North Korea and develop commercial trade. What is now worth considering is that although North Korea has a population of more than 6 million, its middle school is not rich. This can be seen from the delay of the 50,000 taels of silver that they paid the island redemption fee. It is so difficult to infiltrate North Korea economically!
However, no matter how poor the North Koreans are, they always have a demand for all kinds of necessities such as daily food, clothing, housing and transportation. So how to penetrate through a crack in the North Korean gate that has been pried open by the East Bank people and eventually sell the goods of the East Bank people to every corner of North Korea, is something that Wei Boqiu needs to consider and closely plan.
Wei Boqiu believes that to achieve this goal, the first thing is to make the Kingdom of Korea consciously or unconsciously integrate into the Far Eastern economic circle created by the East Coast people. For example, organizing the strong men from the mainland of North Korea to work in the Dutch colony, and then the money they earned is remitted back to North Korea through remittances, so that the North Koreans can have money to consume various commodities of the East Coast people. Of course, in addition to this method, encouraging the North Koreans to have a variety of food or medicinal materials is also a way, because these are the commodities needed by the East Coast people.
In short, when advancing North Korea, we must start from both economic and political aspects, especially not in a hurry. We should slowly penetrate North Korea bit by bit, and gradually incorporate North Korea into the Great Far East Economic Circle envisioned by Wei Boqiu by boiling frogs in warm water. This economic circle includes Sakhalin Island and its surrounding islands, Japan's Matsumae Band, the Santan region, the Dutch (or the Zheng family) Taiwan, and some mainland regions. If this economic circle can circulate on its own, it will definitely generate great economic benefits, and the East Coast people, as its leader, will inevitably occupy the largest share.
