Not only that, a larger population cultivates more arable land and can also raise more cattle and sheep. These will translate into increased food production and growth in the livestock industry.
This will allow his unit¡¯s logistics to be fully guaranteed, without having to worry about finding the granary empty while fighting on the front line.
Even among these refugees, there will be many intellectuals, doctors, and even soldiers who escaped from the army. For Xia Yang, these are talents that can be used in various aspects of construction.
For Xia Yang, who is relatively rich in food and land resources, these refugees will only cause him a certain burden at the beginning. But after half a year, these people will be transformed into productive forces.
In mid-June, outside Jincheng, Shanxi, a village that had been abandoned for several years because of the war once again had a prosperous population.
Several hundred people from Zhangjiazhuang were collectively resettled here by Xia Yang.
They all live in the renovated houses, and which one they live in is decided by drawing lots. Those with more people in the family will be allocated a larger courtyard, while those with fewer people will be allocated a smaller courtyard.
For these disaster victims, having a new home is really an unexpected blessing.
Most importantly, they also regained their own land.
Zhang Qin looked at his new home, which had been renovated by Xia Yang's people. Although it is just a simple repair, it is not a problem to use it to protect it from wind and rain.
"Commander Xia is such a good man, he can give us such a shelter from wind and rain." Zhang Qin said while looking at the beds and quilts arranged in the room.
Those beds and quilts were also distributed to them. Each family was distributed according to the number of people. In addition, they were even given some oceans so that they could go to nearby towns to buy some daily necessities.
The land outside the village has also been redivided. Each family is allocated land according to the number of heads. Zhang Yuanwai's family was considered to be a family of five, so he received five acres of land.
The area of ??these five acres of land is even much larger than their original land. Their family originally only had three acres of land.
As for the other people, they were even more overjoyed. Because they don't even own land, they are just tenant farmers of the landlord's family.
Of course, Zhang Yuanwai was not happy. Because when their family was in Xihua, they had hundreds of acres of land, but now they only have four acres of thin farmland left.
¡°But compared to starving to death in their hometown, the four acres of thin fields here are enough for them to survive in this famine era.
A few days ago, local government officials distributed corn seeds and sweet potato seedlings to them. They can sow the seeds after the wheat harvest without affecting the autumn harvest.
By then they will have food for the winter, and the extra food can even be sold at the market for money.
Not only that, they can also pick wild fruits from nearby mountains after they mature in autumn. This is also an income for them.
Just when Zhang Qin and the others had just finished lunch and were planning to go to the fields to see if the corn they planted a few days ago had grown, there was a burst of noise outside the village.
This made them subconsciously think that it was the Japanese coming, but it was not the case based on the noise.
After a while, Zhang Qin found out from his neighbor that a big shot was here to inspect.
The people in the village quickly gathered at the entrance of the village under the shouts of the village director.
They noticed that the village director¡¯s expression was very serious and even a little nervous. Obviously there will be a big shot coming here to inspect.
But as for what kind of big shot he is, it¡¯s hard to tell. Maybe he was the county magistrate from the neighboring county.
For them, the county seat is big enough. No matter how big an official is, they can't even imagine it.
After a while, a motorcade came to them along the highway.
That convoy was led by two armored vehicles, followed by several trucks and jeeps. There were soldiers with guns and ammunition in the car.
They all have straight waists, and at first glance they are the elite of the army. The firearms he carried were something these common people had never seen before.
When the motorcade stopped at the entrance of the village, the people in Zhangjiazhuang knelt down subconsciously and almost shouted "Long live, long live, long live, long live".
They have become accustomed to this. Whenever a senior official goes to inspect their village, they will kneel down to inspect it.welcome.
But as soon as they knelt down here, the village director shouted loudly as if he was being strangled: "Why are you kneeling? You are not allowed to kneel! You are not slaves!"
With that said, he hurriedly pulled up the villagers on the ground.
By this time, Xia Yang had already stepped off the jeep.
The village director saw it and hurriedly greeted him: "Commander Xia, you are here!"
Xia Yang said: "Come on, I was supposed to come here quietly, but you showed up like this again. Have you planted the corn and so on now?"
The village director said: "We have planted them, and now we are waiting for the chemical fertilizers to be distributed. Without chemical fertilizers, no matter how good the corn seeds are, the harvest at the end of the year will not be much higher."
??
With that said, he walked up to the people.
Those common people vaguely heard the village director calling this young man "Commander Xia"
Although their cultural level is not high, the position of "corps commander" is obviously higher than that of regiment commander and division commander.
"Zhang Yuanwai, you have a lot of experience. How big an official is this military commander? Is he bigger than the head of the security group in our county?"
Zhang Qin came over and asked Zhang Yuan in a low voice.
Zhang Yuanwai said: "You don't have to ask, the head of the security regiment is nothing in front of the army commander. If this were in the past, Commander Xia would be a border official, you know?" (Remember this site) Website: www.hlnovel.com
