In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 152
In addition, the fruit trees on Jeju Island and the salt field on Jeju Island are confiscated. This salt field is relatively small, just as Jeju is self-sufficient.

There are more than 1000 horses raised on the island, which were given to Zhao and Rui for free, and the money was also confiscated.

After Quan Xiangmin finished speaking one by one, Zhao Yurui asked, "How much food is produced on the island? How much was the original tax in Korea?"

Jeju, like Liangzhe, has two crops of rice, and the fields are good and the yield is high, but it is not as good as that of the Southern Song Dynasty, with an annual output of about four stones.

The Southern Song Dynasty collected three buckets of tax per mu, while Goryeo was more ruthless, and the tax was one stone per mu. According to the output of four stones, it was about a quarter.

Zhao Yurui did the math. Based on the output of four stones, the annual output is about 52 stones. For Koryo's 42 stones, there are still [-] stones. Now these fields are all his. How much can be given to the people on the island is what he said The final decision.

The two sides handed over for three days, and the people and supplies returning to Korea went back in boats.

Zhao Yurui found out that someone still took the horse away, and Lao Cui said that all the horses belonged to him, but someone still took the horse away.

He didn't care about it, and hurriedly sent these people away.

About 100 households left the island one after another, basically all of them were officials and rich people.

When the last group of people left, the two parties agreed that the ships passing through Korea and Jeju would land at the "Inhe Port" in the north.

On the west side of 'Yanjiagang' (the name just changed), there are ships passing through Jeju Island and the Southern Song Dynasty, and those from Korea are not allowed to come.

After the Koreans left, Zhao Yurui opened the booklet in the county yamen, and Qin Zhuo and others looked through it carefully.

From now on, Jeju Island is under his management, nearly 3 people, and millions of acres of land are all his people.

This is a very good high-quality logistics base. In the hands of the Yuan Dynasty, tens of thousands of high-quality war horses are raised every year, and hundreds of thousands of acres of farmland are cultivated.

The island will be similar to the end of the Yuan Dynasty, except that there are no Mongols, mainly Han people and Koreans (formerly Tamna people), and a few Liao people, who should have escaped from the fall of the Liao Kingdom. Now the main horse breeders on the island He is from Liao.

Tamna was conquered by Goryeo 100 years ago. Only a few generations have passed, and the recognition of Goryeo is not very high. The Han people fled from China to Jeju during the period of war from the end of Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties, and also fled to Jeju during the Southern Song Dynasty. over here.

As mentioned before, the population of the two Zhejiang provinces has dropped sharply in the past two years, and most of them have fled overseas. In the past year alone, there were hundreds of households of Song people who came to the island. Tamna people, Liao people are the least, just over 100 households.

"Set Jeju City (in the direction of Beigang) and Dajing City (in the direction of Westport), Qin Yue is the lord of Jeju City, and Chen Xiaodao is the lord of Dajing City." Zhao and Rui began to arrange at this time. (The two mainly travel back and forth between Shandong and Jeju, and are responsible for managing Jeju, the most important thing is to immigrate from Shandong)
Originally, the people on the island were concentrated in the southwest of the island, but this time Zhao and Rui wanted to relocate them.

About 1 households with [-] people moved to the edge of Beigang, built Jeju City, and expanded Inhwa Port in the north. These two thousand households did not need to farm or manage farming. They only specialized in building cities and ports, mainly Tamna people.

Among them, many barriers will be built at the edge of Inhwa Port, and all roads that should be sealed will be closed. In the future, traffic will be restricted, and only one passage will be left. Koreans and merchant ships can only go to the port and cannot enter the interior of Jeju Island.

There are about 1 households and [-] people. Yanjiagang, Xigang, was expanded in the southwest of the original area. Also, only one passage to the island was left, and there was no need to operate farming. The Han people were the majority, and Tamluo was the deputy.

Another 13 households were planned to be responsible for farming. The original [-] fields were divided into about [-] mu per household on average.

The income and taxes of the original residents in Goryeo were similar to those in the Song Dynasty.

The land rent is [-]% (the main household provides cattle, seeds, farm tools, etc.). Of course, the main household in Goryeo is the imperial court, because all their fields belong to the Goryeo court, and the common people are tenants of the court.

Then pay a tax of one stone per mu, excluding the land rent and tax, it is the income of the common people and tenants.

Jeju Island produces four stones per mu, half of the land rent is deducted first, and then one stone is paid in tax. The local people earn only one stone for every mu of land cultivated.

In the past, there were more than 7000 households, with an average of two acres. Of course, some people did not need to farm, but were drying salt and growing fruits.

On average, each household used to have an average of two shi of grain per year, which is barely enough.

But because it is by the sea, fishing can be done locally, and every household grows a small amount of fruits, vegetables, etc., so life is basically pretty good. There are also some people who privately farm some new fields. That's enough to live on.

In fact, because of the favorable geographical location, there are more new farms privately farmed in Jeju. According to Zhao Yurui's statistics, there are thousands of acres. Many of the tenants were ordered by the officials to occupy the grain fields.

Now Zhao and Rui have decided that 13 households will be responsible for farming. Of the original 4 mu of land, the average household will be [-] mu, which means more than [-] mu will be used, and the rest will be given to the immigrants.

Based on the experience of farming in Liangzhe in the Southern Song Dynasty, it is expected to reach the yield of five or six shi per mu in Liangzhe, which is now calculated as five shi.

The land rent was [-]%, and Zhao and Rui collected another [-]% of the tax from the mother, which was a full half less than before.

The two thousand households were very happy to hear that, and praised Yan Dong's family for their wisdom and kindness.

Zhao and Rui's ultimate goal is to farm 30 mu of land on Jeju Island.

In this way, Zhao and Rui's grain harvest can reach 80 million shi.

Among them, [-] stones were shipped to Korea.

For the [-] households who built two ports on the other two sides, Zhao and Rui adopted the method of paying wages and providing food.

The monthly salary of each strong labor force in each household is one guanhuizi, and the rest of the middle-aged and elderly people, women, and older teenagers are paid a few hundred yuan, and each household is paid four guanhuizi on average, which is about one guanhui more copper coins.

In this way, the salary expenditure is five guan per month, which is within [-] guan of copper coins throughout the year.

The 2 people in these [-] households needed about [-] shi of grain per month (an average of two catties per person per day), which was quite high. After all, there were many people in the Southern Song Dynasty, and the average per capita was only one liter of grain per day. (more than a catty)

Among the four thousand households, those who cannot do heavy work and the teenagers asked to grow some vegetables and fruits at home.

In this way, the food consumption is 12 shi per year, plus the usual seafood, vegetables, meat provided by Zhao and Rui, and another [-] guan, which is [-] guan per year.

In other words, Zhao Yurui raised these 6 households and specialized in building ports and cities. The annual expenditure was more than 12 yuan, plus [-] stone grain.

This Song Dynasty is higher than raising [-] soldiers, but Zhao Yurui wants to support them. After that, he will be his construction army on Jeju Island. Later, they will build blacksmith shops, shipyards, and docks. They come from all over the world. Artisans will join them one after another.

In the future, they will form a construction company similar to Later Generations, which will be responsible for infrastructure construction on Jeju Island.

At this time, there were still more than 1000 original residents of Jeju Island, and these more than 1000 households included hundreds of Liao households.

These more than 1000 households will be responsible for raising horses and learn how to raise horses from the Liao people.

Jeju was a land of horse production in Yuan and Mongolia. After the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, there were still tens of thousands of high-quality war horses on the island. Afterwards, Koryo and Daming traded and paid tribute, and they all used the horses here, but Lao Zhu didn’t want Jeju Island.

As before, Zhao and Rui didn't need them to grow vegetables in the fields. Each household concentrated on raising horses, and each household provided two stones of grain per month.

In addition, no wages are paid, but Zhao Yurui buys the war horses raised at the price of ten copper coins each.

This price is quite low in the Southern Song Dynasty, but it is not bad in Jeju Island.

Zhao and Rui's contributions are not only two stones per month, but also provide them with seafood, vegetables, meat, salt, sugar, etc. The biggest part is soybeans.

Raising horses needs soybeans the most. Only soybeans are the main feed, and the horses raised are of high quality. The soybeans are grown by horse farmers, and all costs are paid by Zhao and Rui, but Zhao and Rui have to purchase [-] catties from Korea in the first year Soy is enough.

Among more than 1000 horse raising households, Zhao and Rui spent nearly [-] shi in grain and [-] guan in copper coins.

Jeju Island was originally a small island with only more than 7000 households and about 3 people. They are self-sufficient and live here peacefully.

Everything changed after Zhao Yurui came.

The whole island has become a construction household, a horse raising household, and a farming household, divided into three types of household registration, each doing its own thing.

At present, what the island can provide him with is an annual output of 60 stone grains. The war horses don't know yet. It will take two years. Of course, the more war horses there are, the more money and costs he will pay.

His annual expenditure is currently 12 shi for grain (for Korea), [-] shi and [-] guan for construction households, and [-] shi and [-] guan for horse farmers.

A total of 25 stone grains and more than 8 guanqian were spent.

Of course, as the population of Jeju Island increases and the number of war horses increases, its consumption will also be huge.

Now everything is on paper, and how much it can be depends on the annual harvest and the actual situation.

When Qin Zhuo watched Zhao Yurui arrange everything on the paper and roughly list their income and expenses, Qin Zhuo was also shocked.

Jeju Island is in the hands of the Goryeo Kingdom, and Goryeo collects 12 shi of tax every year.

Now it is in the hands of Zhao Yurui. In terms of price, it is equivalent to a tax of more than 20 shi, doubled.

The key people are still living better than before.

Horse breeders and builders don't need to care about food and drink, and farmers don't need to care about other things. Everyone performs their duties and do their jobs well. The most obvious thing is to eat, and Zhao and Rui invest a lot.

And will invest later.

"After the immigrants come, set up [-] households specializing in salt making, [-] households specializing in fishing, [-] households specializing in growing vegetables and fruits, and [-] households specializing in raising pigs, sheep and cattle to ensure all kinds of life on the island. necessity."

Jeju Island is most suitable for the breeding industry. It is the most convenient to raise pigs, sheep and cattle, and the obtained manure can also be used as feed.

Both sheepskin, pigskin and cowhide can be used to make armor. According to Zhao Yurui's plan, it will be Zhao Yurui's rear base in the future.

At the end, Zhao Yurui slapped the table heavily: "Everything is ready now, but there is a shortage of people."

"Find a way to immigrate, recruit people, and at the same time cultivate the land, you can train soldiers."

Because of his excitement, he blurted out to train soldiers. Some people at the scene were stunned for a while, probably not thinking why Zhao Yurui wanted to train soldiers.

Qin Zhuo reacted, and immediately said: "It is necessary to train some elite soldiers to guard Jeju Island, otherwise we will be afraid of pirates when we start to operate."

There were still pirates in the Southern Song Dynasty. Of course, they were mainly in Guangzhou and Quanzhou. When Qin Zhuo said this, everyone nodded, because they wanted to train some troops to guard the island.

Only Qin Zhuo knew that King Wei had been waiting for training for a long time, and now there was finally a place for King Wei to train soldiers.
