There are not many entertainment activities in this world and this era.

People basically go home after completing their normal work. Those who have some spare money can go to restaurants, pubs, and teahouses. Those who have no spare money can only go home to hug their wives and spank their children.

As famous specialties of Chinese civilization, the most famous ones are tea, silk and porcelain - Yang Song will not forget these famous products!

It's just that they have just started, and the scale is too small, not enough for personal use.

The manpower required is recruiting new people from the refugee camps every day, and the population of the territory is increasing every day!

However, the number of people increasing every day is not large. In order to maintain stability, tens of thousands of people will not be recruited in one day, but recruitment will be carried out in a steady stream.

Depending on the needs, the number of people recruited every day ranges from dozens to hundreds. This is because the recruitment is done on a household basis and the number cannot be determined accurately.

One day there was only one recruitment, and this time it was for a large family, with more than a hundred people! After registering, I found out that this family was a large family, and not only had they all been affected by the crop for some reason, but I couldn't remember it anyway.

The territory doesn't care what these people did before, as long as they stay within the territory and abide by the laws!

There is no need to worry about family power. Resources will be redistributed in the territory. The maximum amount of land limits the development potential of these large families. There will no longer be the phenomenon of racing in one direction for a day and still staying within their own land.

Moreover, the world will be dominated by industry in the future, and the past thinking of the rich and wealthy is outdated! For the sake of future development potential, Yang Song will limit the amount of land, so that there will no longer be a phenomenon where there is no land available for setting up factories.

Although there are wild wastelands everywhere in this place! But sooner or later they will be completely developed. As a lord, you can’t just focus on the present. You must at least consider the problems after this land is occupied!

Now that the territory has passed the most difficult period at the beginning, it is time for rapid development!

----------

In the government hall, all the officials from the territory gathered together. This was the third day that the passage was opened, and it was also the day of the monthly meeting.

The territory's court system is a small meeting every ten days and a big meeting every month, except for special circumstances!

"Gentlemen, the territory is developing at a rapid pace. The passage to the outside world has also been opened, and we are currently looking for it. I believe we will find it soon. Now let's take stock of our belongings and prepare for the impact of the outside world!"

Yang Song set a theme for today's meeting.

"First of all, let me talk about the military of the territory!" Yang Song continued, because all the armies of the territory are directly in his hands.

"The territory's army now has a regular infantry brigade of 3,500 people. The territory's guard army has 1,000 people, including 700 infantry and 300 cavalry. However, the weapons and equipment are a little worse than those of the infantry brigade. The rest are from the territory.

All young men and women who have been trained in leisure time can serve as militiamen in wartime."

Yang Song first explained the military situation in detail, and then said: "Next, Yang Zhong, you will speak first!" As the magistrate of the only county in the territory, Yang Zhong still has a great say!

The current territory is not so much a territory as it is a county, even a small county. And the county magistrate Yang Zhong is equivalent to the administrative head of the territory!

"I obey! Lord! Colleagues!" Yang Zhong stood up, bowed to Yang Song and those around him, then sat down again, opened the book in his hand, and said.

"The current population of Tianqi County is more than 53,000 people. Because it is increasing every day, the specific numbers are changing at any time."

"The grain reserves are enough to feed 100,000 people for three months. This is because the population is consuming more food every day. It is expected that after the population reaches 100,000, it will only be enough for one month. Fortunately, the increase in population is not temporary, and it will be enough to wait for the grain harvest in the fields in two months.

"

"Secondly, there are more than 1,000 war horses and more than 3,000 buck horses, but all of them are stallions and mares for breeding. This number is expected to double by the end of the year. Due to the lord's order, these war horses will not grow until 5,000.

Distributed to the army, the horses can now be provided in small quantities."

"More cattle are needed for farming. There are now more than 5,000. Except for breeding cattle, all others have been distributed to various villages and towns. This has saved a lot of labor and opened up more than 5,000 acres of land! Counting the fields at the beginning, now

There are more than 300,000 acres of farmland in Tianqi County!"

"The second is the distribution of the people. Tianqi City currently has more than 15,000 people. In addition to the more than 10,000 people in the city, there are nearly 5,000 people outside the city. The population of other villages and towns has only increased appropriately."

Outside the city, people spontaneously built a large number of houses, and the distribution of these houses was planned. Because they were all self-built, there were many styles, but most of them were built with reference to the residential houses in the city.

"According to the overall planning of the territory, four new counties will be added in the four directions of Tianqi County in the future. The planning is almost complete now, and the new county will start from the north."

"Secondly, the official roads between villages and towns and towns and cities have been completed, and infrastructure such as post stations and schools in villages and towns have been constructed. The only remaining branch roads between villages will be built by each village and town themselves."

"Finally, there are various factories in Tianqi County. The output of the factories is stable, with steel output of 10,000 tons per year, more than 50,000 tons of coal per year, and copper ore, iron ore and other minerals totaling nearly 100,000 tons per year!"

"The manpower in factories and mines is still not enough. I just hope that it will be better as the population increases in the future! Above!"

Yang Zhong gave detailed explanations on the government affairs of Tianqi County, that is, the territory. Whether it is food or steel, it is clear to everyone as soon as he hears it!

"Lord, my subordinate is Qian Liang from the Finance Bureau!" Next, Qian Liang, who is in charge of the territory's finances, reported! He also stood up and saluted Yang Song and his colleagues around him.

"The first is business tax. Because private ownership has just begun, so the current tax in this area can be ignored."

"Therefore, the taxation of the territory is mainly based on agriculture. The taxation of agriculture is one out of ten taxes. Different grains are levied according to the quality and output of different fields, and are collected on a household basis! However, because of the land reclamation order issued by the lord, the tax is exempted for three years.

So now only a small part of the land that was opened earlier is taxed. And because the lords have been purchasing grain in order to maintain grain prices, agricultural taxes are pure!"

"Fortunately, after three years of public ownership, the territory has accumulated a large amount of materials, and the finances will not collapse! Moreover, to put it bluntly, a large number of banknotes are now being printed to maintain expenditures, which is a disguised collection of seigniorage!"

"It is precisely because of the large amount of materials accumulated in the territory that the banknotes issued by the bank will not become waste paper! These materials can be used to collect banknotes through stores and collect commercial taxes. Therefore, the hard work of the people is the driving force for the development of the territory!

"

"Next is the financial expenditure for construction in various places. The construction of official roads, the construction of inns, the construction of schools, and other infrastructure construction also consumed a lot of materials. Fortunately, the output of the factory was all returned to the territory, so we persisted.

!”

"Finally, there is the expenditure of the army. The salary and logistics of the army are all under the control of the Postal Service Bureau, but the budget is approved by the lord and allocated by the subordinates. In the past, there were only 1,000 troops, not much. But now there are 3,500 more people
Chapter completed!
