The lightning operation was unexpectedly smooth and encountered almost no resistance.
After the occupation was completed, the sergeants gathered the aborigines of the village together and arranged for them to take away all the supplies that could be taken from the village and escort them back to Shanhai County.
Because the villages are outside the territory of Shanhai County, Ouyang Shuo planned to temporarily leave these villages vacant. After the territorial area is expanded, these vacant villages can be used as ready-made settlements.
At that time, farmers can be moved to the village, cultivated farmland, planted rice, and gradually developed into a natural village under Shanhai County, and the vast land can be developed so that it will not be abandoned.
June twenty-sixth, five thirty in the afternoon.
The east and west armies escorted a total of 7,200 captives and a large amount of supplies back to Shanhai County.
Because it was getting late, Ouyang Shuo did not let these prisoners enter the city, but arranged for them to stay outside the city overnight. Anyway, it's summer now, it's not cold at night, and there are tents, so it's not wronging them.
Ouyang Shuo was not interested in taking the supplies he brought, and distributed them to the original villagers. In this way, they will not have too much resistance to Shanhai County.
The next day, the Household Registration Department started working.
For the resettlement of refugees or captives, the Household Registration Department has formed a very complete set of procedures.
The Household Registration Department has set up fixed reception points at the North Gate and West Gate respectively, and is responsible for receiving the refugees who refresh every day. After the refugees arrived, the officials of the Household Registration Department began to register and register them one by one, and issued Shanhai County household registration.
Immediately afterwards, the officials of the Household Registration Department sorted the refugees on the spot according to their registered occupations.
Farmers, fruit growers, miners, loggers, breeders, etc. who are suitable for living in settlements outside the city, after receiving basic benefits, are directly shunted to live in corresponding settlements. After arriving at the settlement, Yuri is in charge of arranging their daily life.
The Department of Agriculture and the Department of Material Reserves have clerks who assist the Department of Household Registration at the reception point.
Skilled personnel such as craftsmen, tailors, and merchants were taken to the posthouses in the city to live temporarily, and the posthouses were responsible for board and lodging. The Household Registration Department will issue a corresponding letter of introduction based on their occupation. With the letter of introduction issued by the household registration department, the refugees can go to major workshops, shops or construction sites in the city to find a suitable job.
After finding a job, the refugees had to move out of the post house and rent a house in a residential area. The Construction Department has built a large number of resettlement houses in residential areas for renting by refugees.
After having a fixed residence, they can go to the Material Reserve Department to receive basic benefits.
After working for a period of time and stabilizing, I have a considerable savings. At this time, they can go to the Four Seas Bank, apply for a loan, and directly buy the house they rent.
After I have spare money, I can go to the farmer's market to buy some chicken, duck, and goose cubs, and raise them in the yard. Those who are more industrious can also buy rapeseed or vegetable seedlings and grow vegetables in the yard.
If you are a little richer, you can go to the garment workshop to buy new clothes, go to the jewelry store to buy jewelry for your mother-in-law, and even occasionally go to restaurants, drink tea in teahouses, watch plays and listen to music in theaters. .
Most of the refugees stop here, and the next step is to live a good life. As a young man, he has to consider his lifelong affairs, ask a matchmaker to find a wife for him, get married and have children.
As for generals, scribes, and special talents needed for territorial upgrades, they will be recommended to Du Quan, the head of the household registration department, by the household registration department officials at the reception.
For special talents below the gold level, Du Quan will introduce them to the corresponding director according to their occupations, and the director will arrange their positions, either in the army or in various departments.
Only the most special talents can be recommended by Du Quan, and directly recommended to Lord Ouyang Shuo, who will personally arrange their work.
Similarly, the military affairs department takes over the work of conscription, and the barracks do not have the right to conscript. The Military Affairs Administration will post conscription announcements at the city gates and settlements.
In this way, if the refugees who have settled down feel that they are suitable for joining the army, they can give up their temporary jobs and join the army camp.
The Household Registration Department has implemented the entire resettlement process very smoothly. Even if the sudden influx of 7,200 people today is just a matter of adding manpower.
Of course, this batch of captives was somewhat special. Because among them, there are still some loyal elements to the original lord. Most of them are the core members of the original village, or scribes, or generals.
To this group of people, Ouyang Shuo was unequivocal. All the generals were dismissed and demoted to fire chiefs, and incorporated into the battalions. All scribes were downgraded to low-level clerks, and were dispatched by Ouyang Shuo to serve in the three subordinate territories.
Ouyang Shuo had deep meaning in his treatment of scribes.
The county magistrates in the dependent territories are all aboriginals, and for the captured scribes, there is less resistance. At the same time, it is also an opportunity to enrich the government agencies of the subordinate territories, strengthen their allocation, and improve administrative efficiency.
Of course, this was also Ouyang Shuo's test for the three county magistrates, to see if they could subdue this batch of scribes.
Unsurprisingly, there was not a single historical figure among these captives. The highest level, that is, two junior military generals and one scholar, that's all.
After dealing with the captives, Ouyang Shuo began to deal with the financial issue.
The income of 7,600 gold coins from the second half of June has already been collected, and Ouyang Shuo now holds 14,600 gold coins in his hands, of which 4,600 gold coins are directly allocated to the Finance Department as fiscal expenses for the territory.
Ouyang Shuo came to the high-end market with 10,000 gold coins in his pocket. The market has been moved to the front of the lord's mansion, on the west side of the square, opposite to the location of the teleportation array, and it is very convenient to go out.
Speaking of which, Ouyang Shuo seldom goes to the market, because Shanhai County has basically achieved self-sufficiency, and needs to purchase, except for architectural drawings, there are very few other needs.
The reason why Ouyang Shuo came to the market this time is because after immigration, the system will usher in a major update. In the system update, there will be new settings for market settings.
Ouyang Shuo wanted to use his foresight to make purchases before the update.
Ouyang Shuo searched the cheat books first, and wiped out all the gold-level authentic cheat books left in the market. There were 20 books in total, and the cost was 1000 gold coins.
In this way, Ouyang Shuo bought a total of 120 gold-level authentic cheat books.
Surprisingly, Ouyang Shuo actually found another imperial-level exercise book, which is the famous "Nine Yin Manual", which sells for 1500 gold coins. Ouyang Shuo bought it immediately without any hesitation.
"Nine Yin Manual" is of little use to Ouyang Shuo, but to Song Jia, it is a treasure. Song Jia's dream is to establish a sect in the game and become a generation of knights, and the "Nine Yin Manual" just happens to be used as a martial art to suppress the sect.
Immediately afterwards, Ouyang Shuo spent 500 gold coins to buy a "Technical Manual for Manufacturing Military Food Pills" and a "Manual for Manufacturing Technical Manual for Marching Tents". Military ration pills and marching tents, such logistical weapons, will consume a lot in the later stage, so Ouyang Shuo is still prepared to be self-sufficient.
More importantly, after the system is updated, the sale of army ration pills, marching tents, fierce fire oil and fierce fire oil tanks, such military supplies that are on the sidelines, will be completely prohibited.
Therefore, Ouyang Shuo directly spent 1,000 gold coins to purchase 100,000 barrels of fire oil. This batch of fierce fire oil is enough for Shanhai County to use for ten years. They will be transported by the combat readiness department to the foot of the rocky mountains, in the huge caves, stored as combat readiness supplies, and assigned to take care of them, and no one is allowed to approach them.
In addition to military supplies, Ouyang Shuo is also planning to purchase a batch of food.
Although it is said that in late July, rice can be harvested in Yushui County and Youyi County. However, Ouyang Shuo did some calculations, and there was still a shortage of food in the second half of the year.
The fertile farmland in Yushui County can produce 350 units of grain per mu, and 20,000 mu of fertile land can harvest 7 million units of grain in total. The farmland in Youyi County can produce 320 units of grain per mu, and 20,000 mu of fertile land can harvest 6.4 million units of grain. Added together, a total of 13.4 million units of grain can be harvested.
The second season of rice is harvested at the end of October, and there are still four full months to go.
The total population of Shanhai County and the three affiliated territories is close to 80,000, and it is still growing rapidly at a rate of at least 1,140 people per day.
Based on the minimum standard of 1 unit of grain consumed per person per day, at least 17.8 million units of grain will be consumed by the end of October. Coupled with the double consumption of the army, consumption of wine and feed, etc., the total food consumption will not be less than 20 million units.
All of this does not include the food consumption caused by the sudden increase in population due to captives or mountain barbarians coming down to settle down in the process. This is also a situation that is bound to happen and has to be considered.
Taking it all into consideration, the grain harvested in the first season was just over half of it. This is still under the condition that the farmers sell all the grain they harvest.
After the system is updated, the material trading platform will be cancelled. If the lord wants to buy food, he can only purchase from merchants one by one through the real-time auction platform or the negotiation and cooperation platform. If a businessman discovers the food crisis in the territory, the price of food will inevitably rise. Merchants will not maintain price stability forever like the system.
Therefore, the remaining 6,000 gold coins were all used by Ouyang Shuo to purchase grain. A total of 6 million units of grain were purchased, and half of the upgraded county-level granary was directly filled.
Although there are still some gaps in the purchased grain, these gaps can be filled before the price of food rises. After all, July is the grain harvest season, and there will be no food shortages in various places.
So far, Ouyang Shuo has spent 10,000 gold coins to lay a solid material foundation for the development of Shanhai County. Ouyang Shuo remembered how the food crisis in the second half of the year would be a cruel test for the territory.
