Chapter 243: Dividing the land, giving houses, donating grain, renting cattle

Shandong Province is governed by Penglai County, Dengzhou.

Due to the vigorous migration of Eastern Mongolia, Dengzhou City and even the surrounding villages and towns are now sparsely populated. In order to avoid being discovered by Eastern Mongolia soldiers, many people hid in the mountains and wilderness forests. Some officials who sneaked into the soldiers who killed Eastern Mongolia occasionally occurred, and there was even a vicious case of a centurion squadron being attacked and wiped out by others.

In order to prevent similar situations, the Western Army used the surrendered troops and officials to increase the suppression pressure, while also releasing goodwill to the people. They stopped moving people and allocated land to the people who were willing to surrender to the East Mongolia, thereby alleviating their hostility to the East Mongolia.

In this way, the territory of Shandong gradually calmed down. A few brave people accepted the government's recruitment and successfully allocated land and real estate. Those were left behind after the migration, and it was impossible for the people who left to take them away. Now they are cheaper to these people who are accepting recruitment.

In order to dispel the doubts of the people as much as possible, the government in Eastern Mongolia will also distribute rice, grain and meat to these people who are recruited. Nothing is more touching than real food. In this era when starving to death, the temptation of rice, grain and meat is more touching than verbal promises.

Jia She, who was waiting to board the boat in Dengzhou, took advantage of the wait and realized the people's conditions near Dengzhou. He is now the Minister of Rites of the Song Dynasty. As for the position of Huaidong Commander, when Chuzhou fell, he was beaten to the end.

From the beginning of entering Huaibei, you can rarely see people along the way. The cities and villages and towns passed by are also empty, allowing him to truly understand what it means to be empty. Only when he arrived at the Dengzhou Wharf did he know where the people were going.

Because dozens of large-scale immigration camps were built near the dock. According to the East Mongolian officials who were traveling with him, these were all planned to be sent back to the East Mongolian. And when they went to East Mongolia, these people would be assigned to fields or work in workshops. Jia She was not sure whether the facts would be as advertised by the East Mongolian government.

Now outside the city, Jia She saw that several large pots were placed near the city gate. Then next to the large pot, there was a table with a long cloth sail standing beside the table with the words: "People who actively register will divide the fields, distribute grain, send houses, and give oxen."

A long line was lined up along the tables, and many ragged people moved slowly forward along the team. Every registered people would get a bowl of thick soup and two big steamed buns on the spot.

Then, under the leadership of the official, we came to a small circle where the people gathered. Outside each circle, there was a wooden raft standing up, with village names such as "Dahuang Village", "Xiaoguo Village", and "Wangjiazhuang".

When the number of people reaches twenty to thirty, they will go to the corresponding villages under the leadership of the official. Jia She noticed that the people who divide the fields, regardless of gender, even the elderly and children, have the opportunity to allocate the fields. However, they are relatively young and strong, and only half of the fields are allocated.

Jia She also asked about the agricultural tax collected, but only 30% was required. And only once a year was charged. However, the Eastern Mongolian government also has conditions, that is, the allocated land must be cultivated for more than five years, and if it is less than five years, it cannot be traded. If it is deliberately abandoned, the government has the right to take back the land.

The houses, plowing oxen, etc. donated also meet the living conditions of a certain period of time, and plowing oxen cannot be slaughtered at will. If they die of illness, the government needs to compensate the losses of plowing oxen.

With such generous and generous government orders, it is no wonder that so many people took the initiative to vote. However, Jia She was not ordinary people who only care about small profits. He knew that Eastern Mongolia's actions of focusing on others were actually generous.

After all, these things were actually originally belonged to the local people in Shandong. Now that the Eastern Mongolian government has distributed them to these people, it has actually suffered no losses at all.

But for these people who were already suffering and worried, the Eastern Mongolian government orders were a great benevolent government. Some people who obtained the land and houses were even more excited to kowtow to the north, calling for long live King Ulutus.

Just as Jia She was watching the Dengzhou government gather refugees and allocating land, Wang Xuanling, who had just visited here, noticed him and immediately said, "Mr. Jia, why are you wandering around here?"

"Oh! It's Governor Wang!" Jia She also noticed Wang Xuanling and immediately bowed: "I'm just curious about your peace and civil affairs, so I walked closer and took a look." During the days I waited in Dengzhou, he was entertained by Wang Xuanling.

Since making great contributions in Yidu City, Eastern Mongolia has not stingy with high officials and generous salaries. He rewarded Wang Xuanling as the governor of Shandong Province. Ge Jing, who was in harmony with his internal and external affairs, was not left behind and was awarded the position of the prefect of Dengzhou.

At present, there are not many people under the jurisdiction of Shandong Province, but because the territory has just settled down, many affairs are complicated. Using local people in Shandong as parents in Shandong can also help adapt to local conditions, better restore the normal operation of Shandong Province and integrate into the administrative system of Eastern Mongolia faster.

At the moment when Wang Xuanling was perfunctory about Jia She, he said curiously: "With Lord Jia's opinion, how about our Shandong Province?"

"How can the people refuse to use land, money and food to lure them, and they just want to lure them with money? It's not a long-term solution!"

"What's your opinion about Lord Jia?"

"Governing the people cannot avoid moral governance. I will educate the people so that they can understand etiquette and virtue, and understand kindness, and make people feel at ease. Why worry about not being treated in great ways?"

"Mr. Jia is indeed a very good person! However, the matter of education has been sent to Beijing. We have asked us to build more schools in Shandong Province so that the people under our jurisdiction can not only eat and fill their stomachs, but also learn from etiquette."

"The Mongolian Tartars will also build schools?" Jia She said in surprise when she heard this.

When he saw Wang Xuanling and others' gloomy faces, he immediately realized that he had said something wrong and quickly changed his words: "I feel that Eastern Mongolia has established a country with martial arts and will inevitably omit the affairs of the school. Unexpectedly, I have already thought about it, because my vision is too shallow."

"So Lord Jia has to go to Eastern Mongolia even more. In order to avoid making many jokes due to ignorance." Wang Xuanling said sarcastically.

"Do it's so! Do it's so!" Jia She also knew that his mission was not a quarrel, so she had to laugh and apologize.

When I returned to the city, I happened to run into Wang Wentong waiting at my residence.

"Where are you going? The boat has arrived. Get it clean and come with me to get on the boat!" Wang Wentong asked, and urged him to pack up quickly.

Therefore, the next time we went north to show the sincerity of the Song State, we brought a lot of gifts from the Song State. After cleaning up this for a long time, the group hurried to the dock.
