Tang Yong quickly took his whole family to the land and received two red books, saying that it was a household registration book, which registered his whole family, one with a tax registration certificate. The twenty-five acres of land he distributed were on it, and the land was still from the court and could not be sold, but he only had to pay a dime of tax per acre every year.

The couple didn't feel relaxed when they held these two red books. After all, the tax was not light. It was just a little better than the rent I paid 50% or 60% of the previous one.

The divided land is not far from Shanyang County. People in the yamen said it was called Ji Village and Village. Each village had five hundred households. Everyone had land around, and the house was left with a large open space in the middle. Then each family set a piece of land and built it by themselves.

Since he didn't want to immigrate, the treatment of the house would be gone. Tang Yong saw that many families just looked for a shed made of branches and thatch.

Men go to work in the morning, and when they come back in the evening, women start weeding in the fields and prepare to sow seeds.

No matter what, everyone has settled down, has work, and can earn a portion of food.

At this time, Li Bin scratched his head in the office: "That's the number of immigrants in the northwest region?"

The suit secretary was helpless: "The three or four provinces have less than 5,000 households, and they all go to the Mekong River. The cakes in Donghuazhou are too big, which scares everyone."

Li Bin threw the statistics table on the table: "Actually, this is because the Ming Dynasty's court ruined its credibility. Everyone can't believe that such a good thing is just."

The secretary was not concerned about the credibility of the Ming court: "What should we do with our Donghuazhou immigration plan?"

Last year, the Pacific Fleet had repaired three coal stations from Vladivostok to Vancouver, and the fleet expansion had been completed.

According to the plan of Huaxia Company, 100,000 people will be immigrated this year. We will first start to familiarize ourselves with the local situation and form a militia organization.

In this era, these places are all forests, and it takes a lot of effort to renovate land, so you can only take it slowly.

Shandong Jinan Provincial Government.

Senior official Meng Zhangming posted a telegram from the Prime Minister's Office in front of him, and officials at all levels of the provincial government were sitting on both sides.

"Our request to divide land for landless tenants in Shandong was brought back by the Prime Minister's Office. The Prime Minister's Office means that all landless tenants in Shandong are immigrating, most of them are moved to Zheng State, and the rest are moved to the Mekong River and Donghuazhou."

As soon as Meng Zhangming finished speaking, there was an uproar below.

"If all the senior officials are removed, who will we pay for the taxes in the future?"

The officials who are sitting now have to study it every day. The Prime Minister's Office has begun to have a vague concept of local economic development with the official work guide updated once a month.

Meng Zhangming knocked on the table: "The Prime Minister's Office allows us to sell the land confiscated land to the landlords and gentry. The workshop employees are not within the scope of landless tenants, and the agricultural machinery sales quota will be given priority to meet our needs."

The Director of the Department of Agriculture first discovered the opportunity here: "That is, the intention of the Prime Minister's Office is to encourage us to develop large farms in Shandong."

The Construction Department also found its own opportunity: "Do you give the confiscation land to us to sell, should you hand over the money to the court or stay in Shandong?"

Everyone was immediately energetic. Although the mad dogs in the Supervision Department are looking for trouble everywhere and cannot put money in their pockets like before, it is a good thing to spend money with money in their hands. It is okay to give some bonuses and increase the level of food in the government cafeteria a little.

Meng Zhangming studied the telegram thoroughly: "Submit half, and we keep half ourselves for road construction and water conservancy construction."

The director of the Department of Agriculture immediately said: "This is a good thing. Shandong has a lot of sand and there is no yield of growing grain. Now the grain is not valuable, and landlords are unwilling to grow grain. Shandong is backed by the sea and rivers, and it is completely fine to transfer grain from outside. The guidance from the Ministry of Agriculture to Shandong is also to consider other economic crops or feed crops to develop aquaculture industry."

The eyes of the officials from the director of the Agriculture Department were simply looking at the madman.

In the eyes of Ming officials, food is everything. Now you are thinking about what feed to grow with land to raise pigs, cattle and sheep. It is too risky.

The director of the Civil Affairs Department immediately objected: "What if the food supply is insufficient? The Prime Minister said that there are people who starved to death in that province, and all the relevant officials have been demoted to one level. If there is a large-scale famine, I guess everyone here will not be able to escape the fate of being sent to Java."

Speaking of this, the director of the Civil Affairs Department is the most troublesome. He has never rested since this year. He traveled all over Shandong all day long, urging counties to collect elderly, orphans, and disabled people, and bring them to the Provincial Royal Welfare Home, which can at least ensure that they have enough food.

The Royal Welfare Academy was still Li Bin, and asked Empress Zhou to be the president of the Ming Dynasty Charity Federation.

The royal family spends 200,000 yuan every year to purchase grain, and also accepts donations from others. They build a welfare home in each province, specifically to accommodate elderly, widowed, orphans and disabled people who are unable to work.

Meng Zhangming was definitely not useless to be able to get a Jinshi and become a senior official. He had a plan: "Isn't our largest grain merchant in Shandong the Prime Minister? Let the telegram room send a telegram to the Prime Minister's Office and ask if China Resources can ensure the food supply in Shandong, and we said we must determine the safety line for grain production."

This reason is flawless, and the telegram soon arrived at the Prime Minister's Office's secretary's office. In less than half an hour, everyone was still discussing how to repair the roads and water conservancy projects. The telegram came back: Shandong Province does not need to produce its own food, and agriculture is mainly economic crops and animal husbandry.

Joke, after the emptied, Shandong has a maximum population of one or two million farms, and such a little grain is simply drizzling.

Now all the officials have confirmed that Shandong is a financial crop and animal husbandry base in the entire Ming Dynasty plan.

"It seems that the Prime Minister's Office has determined the development direction of our Shandong. Next, Shandong can only develop in this direction. If you have any good suggestions, please put forward them."

Meng Zhangming set the tone and it is easier to do things if there is direction.

The director of the Department of Agriculture said this: "First of all, it is to promote sweet potato planting. This crop is good for feeding pigs or cattle and sheep, and the yield is also large. Then there is corn."

The Director of the Finance Department is concerned about fiscal revenue: "The farm does not allow tenants to be used, and they are all converted to employees, so that they are out of the scope of immigration."

This opinion was immediately unanimously agreed by the participants. They did not care whether these landless tenants would live a good life if they immigrated. The problem now is to leave enough human resources, otherwise what else would Shandong do in the future.

Soon, the landowners who registered more than 500 acres of land in the Taxation Department received notices from the provincial government's land auction and production meeting.

Everyone is happy to see land auctions. There are many men in Shandong in the past two years. The largest one has vacated more than one million acres, which are all fertile land.

Unfortunately, the land of the De Prince's Mansion, which was abducted by the Tartars, was stripped away by the emperor and turned into an imperial house, otherwise it would have been hundreds of thousands of acres.

There are thousands of landlords in Shandong with more than 500 mu of land, and it is easy to eat these four million mu of confiscated land.

After all, the provincial government’s asking price this time is only 3 yuan per acre, and it is guaranteed that the money will be used to build road water conservancy projects.

All fools know that close to the main road, complete water conservancy land and ordinary land are different.

The requirement is that the land is not allowed to be distributed to tenants for cultivation, and only employers are allowed in the future, and employees have the right to terminate labor relations with their employers at any time.

This is quite uncomfortable. Shandong's manpower is now a bit difficult to find. Immigrants take away ships, and they are often driven away by villages. Many landlords have started to buy tractors, water pumps and other machinery.

After the two-day auction, another promotion meeting was jointly organized by the Department of Agriculture and the Department of Construction and Water Resources.

"Promotion meeting? What's this?"

Mr. Gu from Gunzhou Prefecture to read the album in his hand over and over again but couldn't understand it. He could only ask Mr. Hong.

Mr. Hong is a little younger and likes to think about it. He has finished reading this album and posted it: "It should be selling us something, and look at the sweet potatoes, tractors, pumps, sweet potato harvesters, cement factory complete equipment, and brick and tile factory complete equipment."

Mr. Gu was a little disbelief: "When did the official government start selling things?"

Mr. Hong shook his head: "You can't look at the Chinese New Year from the perspective of the Chongzhen Nian. The Ming Dynasty is changing too quickly now. Have you paid taxes before?"

Mr. Gu thought of the more than 3,000 yuan tax he paid last year, and he just bought another 5,000 acres of land, and he had to pay an additional 500 yuan this year: "I think there is no good thing in China this year. It has not only made our Shandong sparsely populated, but also competed for profit with the people. He finished the business of the Ming Dynasty alone. We can't even sell food for money, and now it's hard to find even the mud legs of work."

Mr. Hong shook the album in his hand at Mr. Gu: "Isn't he just giving sweet dates now? The food is not easy to make money. I want us to raise pigs and cattle, grow sweet potatoes, rapeseed, peanuts, and alfalfa. The machinery is all ready for us."

Mr. Gu was skeptical: "Can these things make money more than food?"

Mr. Hong nodded: "It should be a big deal. At the speed of their immigration and the place where they are resettled, the food will definitely become cheaper in the future. What is the Mekong River? The newspaper said that there are 70 million mu of rice fields for three seasons a year, and it is enough to feed the entire Ming Dynasty. What should I do if I can only raise pigs and cattle. We Prime Minister said that we should let the people have enough food first, and then let the people have enough meat."

Mr. Gu disagreed: "Eat a full meal? Since the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, no dynasty has had a full meal and can eat meat. Who will work?"
