Chapter 172 Mountain Man Settlement

After the May Day holiday, Ouyang Shuo decisively adjusted the policy of mountain barbarians. On the one hand, he moved the relatives of mountain barbarian soldiers to Shanhai Town to settle down the mountain, either settle down or work in Shanhai Town.

Now, a month has passed and the policy has finally received a reward.

"Which tribe is it?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"It is one of the eight tribes that agreed to cooperate with us. Because the mountain barbarian warriors and food subsidies are all one-time, unlike the Xuanniao tribe and the second three tribes, they can also get paid through the Langshan Mine. Therefore, once the food we receive is consumed, we will return to the original state of being in danger." Tian Wenjing explained.

Ouyang Shuo nodded to show his understanding.

The Xuanniao Tribe is the first Shanren tribe to cooperate with Shanhai County and has made the most profit. The tribe members not only occupy the majority of the miners in Langshan Mine, but also gradually increase their influence in the surrounding tribes, replacing the exterminated Qifeng Tribe and becoming the actual leader of this area.

The second batch of people who cooperated with Shanhai County were three small tribes. It was this time that the Qifeng tribe rejected the friendship between Shanhai County and laid the groundwork for the future extermination of the tribe. The tribe members of these three small tribes were also arranged to mining in Langshan ore, so their living conditions have been improved.

The third group of people who cooperated with Shanhai County was not until after the Jifeng tribe was destroyed, these tribes had to surrender because of the strength of Shanhai County. This group consisted of two medium-sized tribes and six small tribes.

Because the Langshan Mine is already full, this group of tribes only receives a one-time subsidy. In the future, they can only rely on going to the mountains to collect herbs and exchange them for some food with Shanhai County. Their lives are very unstable. In addition, the most elite soldiers in the tribe were all selected by Shanhai County and recruited into the army, so hunting is more difficult than before.

Therefore, it is understandable that these third tribes cannot withstand the temptation of going down the mountain first. After all, no matter which ethnic group it is, they have the idea of ​​"not worrying about lack of people but not uneven".

If it were the past, everyone was the same and lived a hard life, there would be nothing to complain about or enviable. However, because of the existence of the Langshan Mine, these tribes were invisibly divided into two parts, and the division between the tribes began to appear between the rich and the poor.

In addition, these tribes tasted the sweetness, and the food subsidized by Shanhai County made the tribe members live a long life of food and clothing, and now they are going to be defeated again, and no one is happy.

In addition, Tian Wenjing kept adding fuel to the fire, and finally some tribes could not bear it and were willing to abandon the so-called barbarian tradition, agree to go out of the mountain and settle in Shanhai County.

Thinking about the causes and consequences clearly, Ouyang Shuo became more confident in his mountain barbarian policy. In this, there is a pot of cutting off the firewood, followed by carrots and sticks, which really brings the policy of aliens to the extreme.

"How many people are there in this tribe?" Ouyang Shuo continued to ask Tian Wenjing.

"There are more than 1,800 people."

Ouyang Shuo nodded. There are only a few people in small tribes. "Let's place this tribe in Lushui Town, which is closer to their hometown, so there will be no big difference and you can't adapt at once. The mountain barbarian tribes who will go down the mountain in the future will also be mainly arranged in Lushui Town. I will send a letter to Lushui Town, asking them to cooperate with the Internal Affairs Office to do a good job in selecting and building settlements."

"clear!"

"Yangon, you handled the affairs of the mountain barbarians well, and I am very satisfied. However, we cannot be satisfied with the status quo, so we still have to continue to increase our persuasion, especially taking this opportunity to lobby more mountain barbarian tribes to go down the mountain and settle down in Shanhai County." Ouyang Shuo said at last.

"Don't worry, sir, I will live up to my responsibilities!" Tian Wenjing made a solemn promise.

After Tian Wenjing said goodbye and left, Ouyang Shuo began to write official letters to Zhao Dexian, the head of Lushui Town.

Ouyang Shuo wrote in his official letter that the Shanman settlements were built directly according to the standards of first-level townships, and the settlements were positioned as pure agricultural settlements. They should plan a large enough farmland area for them and be reclaimed in time so that the second season of rice will be sown by the end of July.

In addition, the town of Lushui should provide sufficient farm tools for settlements, and existing oxen can also be temporarily rented to settlements to reclaim farmland. Experienced farmers should also be dispatched to guide the mountain barbarians to farm.

These mountain barbarians do not have the experience of rice cultivation. The agricultural department of Lushui Town should increase support and not slack off. This settlement must be built into a demonstration site to reduce the difficulty of lobbying by the Internal Affairs Office.

Lushui Town is also responsible for the grain supply of settlements. In order to reduce the burden on Lushui Town, the Finance Department of the Base Camp allocated 1,000 gold coins to Lushui Town at one time.

As Lushui Town is undergoing water conservancy facilities upgrades and city wall construction, this group of mountain mankind can be recruited into the construction site and labor remuneration will be paid to them according to the standards of the base camp.

Finally, Ouyang Shuo mentioned in his official letter that Lushui Town should make an overall plan for the settlement of mountain barbarians and prepare in advance for the subsequent settlement of mountain barbarian tribes.

In the official letter, Ouyang Shuo took into account everything in every detail and gave specific explanations. This shows how much he attached to this matter.

After writing, Ouyang Shuo called the secretary Bai Nanpu and asked him to send the official letter to Lushui Town immediately. There were fixed yamen runners in Shanhai County, responsible for the reception and reception of official letters between territories. There were four people in this group of yamen runners, who were directly led by the secretary Bai Nanpu.

Afterwards, Ouyang Shuo stood up and went to the office of the Finance Director next to him, and asked Yingyou about the allocation of financial subsidies. The funds were naturally paid out by Ouyang Shuo.

Withdrawing this subsidy funds, plus the 500 gold coins consumed from the territory renewal, Ouyang Shuo's storage bag was still 2,000 gold coins left.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Bing'er appeared in Ouyang Shuo's office on time. Telling his brother to get off work and having dinner has become a regular daily routine for the little girl. During this period, Bing'er has completely adapted to life in Shanhai County.

In the lord's mansion, whether it is officials at all levels or servants, she is very caring for her, the lord's sister. In addition, Bing'er is beautiful, cute, well-behaved and sensible, so it is even more rare.

Especially Erwazi, as soon as the private school was over, he followed Bing'er, as if he was a follower.
