In Guangning, Liaodong, in the residence of Commander-in-Chief Jiang Ji.
Liu Jin chatted with Jiang Ji while drinking.
"Master Liu, what is your mission when you come to Liaodong this time?"
Jiang Ji asked cautiously.
"Mr. Jiang, to be honest, I came to Liaodong this time mainly for inspection."
"You must also know that the Tatar tribes have been included in our territory of the Ming Dynasty. Now the grasslands have settled down. Liaodong is so close to the capital and they all belong to the Bohai Bay."
"So His Majesty also wants to develop the Liaodong region."
Liu Jin looked at Jiang Ji, thought for a while and said.
"Develop Liaodong~"
When Jiang Ji heard this, he immediately became energetic.
The other accompanying generals of Liaodong Dusi, Yang Yu, Han Fu and others, also immediately became energetic.
"Yes, how close is Liaodong to the Beijing-Tianjin area? There are so many sea-going ships now, making travel very convenient. How can such a good place be left alone forever?"
Liu Jin smiled and nodded.
"What Mr. Liu is saying is that our land in Liaodong is fertile and densely forested. It is actually a rare treasure land, but it is too cold here in winter."
Jiang Ji nodded and said.
"How many people are there in Liaodong now?"
Liu Jin nodded, thought for a while and asked.
"Now in the entire Liaodong region, there are about 96,000 Han households and a population of about 380,000. As for the Jurchen tribes, we have no statistics."
(The data comes from the records in "Quan Liao Zhi")
When Jiang Ji heard this, he quickly replied that these figures were something he, the capital of Liaodong, must master, and they must be reported to the court every year.
"Only 380,000 people?"
"Isn't this too little?"
Hearing Jiang Ji's reply, Liu Jin couldn't help but frown. The population was too small, much smaller than he imagined.
In Liu Jin¡¯s opinion, there should be millions of people here no matter what, but there are not even half of them.
¡°Sir, there is nothing we can do about this.¡±
"Liaodong is a bitterly cold place, and no one wants to come. These 380,000 people are still military households who have moved here before. No one wants to come to Liaodong."
Jiang Ji immediately said with a helpless smile.
¡°I know it¡¯s cold, but when it comes to suffering, it¡¯s not necessarily true.¡±
"I took a look when I came here. The land here is black soil. This is the most fertile land. The harvest of food grown here should be pretty good, right?"
Liu Jin thought for a while and asked.
"Sir, the land here is indeed fertile, but it is too cold. It is more comfortable now in the year. After a while, the weather will be extremely cold, and the wheat production is actually very limited."
Jiang Ji looked at Liu Jin, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes.
As expected, he is worthy of being a son of an expert. He even knows the situation in Liaodong very clearly. Although the winter in Liaodong is cold, the wheat yield is higher than that in places like Beizhili, Shandong, and Henan.
"That's right~"
Liu Jin smiled. In later generations, the three eastern provinces were big granaries. You actually said that the output was not good. You are lying.
However, Liu Jin did not study this issue in detail. With the reform of the military system, the troops stationed here in Liaodong Dusi will soon be laid off, and those stationed in other places will be transferred to other places.
Anyway, we won¡¯t let them stay here forever.
By then, the military households here will become ordinary farmers. They, the general soldiers, thousands of households, etc. will all be transferred, and everything will be known naturally.
"Sir Chiang, the imperial court is planning to develop Liaodong. I wonder what things you think need special attention?"
After thinking for a while, Liu Jin continued to ask.
Jiang Ji is a local snake, he must know everything about the situation here.
"Master Liu, the imperial court wants to develop Liaodong, which is a good thing."
"The forest resources here in Liaodong are very rich and the land is fertile. If it is developed, it will be no problem to feed tens of millions of people."
"However, if you want to develop Liaodong, one of the grasslands in the west needs to be stable, and the other is North Korea in the east. They are not very peaceful."
"The most important thing is that it is bitterly cold here."?The situation? "
Liu Jin looked at Jiang Ji and said lightly.
"Yes~"
"Jianzhou Jurchen is divided into three guards, among which the left guard is the most powerful, the center guard and the right guard are average in strength. Now the commander of the left guard is Aixinjueluo ~ Tuoluo"
Jiang Ji began to slowly explain the current situation of Jianzhou Jurchen.
Because during the reign of Dong Shan, the Jianzhou Jurchens were very arrogant, plundering border residents and killing officials of the Ming Dynasty, so in the third year of Chenghua, the court launched a crackdown on the Jianzhou Jurchen tribes.
This blow also weakened the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou. When Tuoluo became the leader, he was smarter, so he chose to lead the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou to restore and develop production, and opposed the Jurchen tribes to harass the Ming army border residents. , insisting on maintaining a relatively good relationship with the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, during the Hongzhi Dynasty, the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou were relatively honest. Of course, the main reason was that their vitality was seriously injured and they needed time to recuperate. However, there were still people from the Jurchen tribes who would plunder the border people in Liaodong from time to time, but they were far less arrogant than during the Dong Shan period. So domineering.
In the past two years, the Jurchen tribes in Jianzhou have been more honest and peaceful, because they already knew about the destruction of the Tatar army in the steppe, and they did not dare to provoke the Ming Dynasty for fear of encountering the Ming army.
