Chang'an Daming Palace has been in chaos, although Zhu Zhu strictly forbids leaking news, but from the matter of packing up his belongings and going to Luoyang, everyone guessed that Zhu Zhu was going to move the capital, or to abandon Chang'an and flee to Luoyang.

The people in the Daming Palace are chaotic, many palace maids and eunuchs have taken the opportunity to steal property and escape, in just half a month, the eunuchs and palace maids have fled six or seven percent, and a large number of property has been stolen.

Zhu Jun didn't care much about these things, he only cared about how much grain could be transported, how much money could be transported, whether the army could be transferred smoothly, and 120,000 wealthy families in Guanzhong must also move to Luoyang.

Not only is there a mess in the palace, but people in Chang'an are also panicking, and the local government began to register and screen to determine the 120,000 rich households that will move away, which virtually gives the local government a chance to make money, if you don't want to be selected, you must pay a lot of price, from the county order to the county officials, almost everyone is taking advantage of this opportunity to blackmail.

In fact, it is not the county that has the final say on who to move or not, but it is decided by the household department of the imperial court, and many prescient big families took advantage of the fact that the list was not down, and hurriedly transferred their children and wealth to Longyou or Guannei, or even to Hanzhong.

This is the condition that Zhu Jun asked Guo Song to agree to before, he could not accept the fugitives from Guanzhong, and asked to repatriate the fugitives immediately, but Guo Song rejected his rude request

The people were uneasy, the palace was in chaos, and the government was completely stopped, and the officials would leave in two batches, and the first batch of ministers above the fifth rank and their families followed the Son of Heaven to the east, and went to Luoyang first.

The second group of officials below the fifth grade will go to Luoyang with their families after the beginning of spring, otherwise all the officials will follow, and Luoyang will not be able to settle down.

There are still three days before the Eastern Tour, and in the imperial study, Prime Minister Yuan Xiu is reporting to Zhu Jun on the preparations for the relocation.

"Your Majesty, the officials are ready, and now the 120,000 rich households still need a little time, first, they have to pack up their belongings, and secondly, the 120,000 households have not yet been fully defined."

"Why hasn't it been defined yet?" Zhu Zhu was really a little dissatisfied and asked.

"Your Majesty, the main reason is that the number of 120,000 households is too large, and there are only 540,000 households in Guanzhong, which accounts for almost 20%, which means that the middle family will also be merged into a rich family, but the wealth of the middle family is mainly based on land, and the land cannot be taken away, and it cannot be sold in a short time, so it makes no sense for them to go to Luoyang, just to add to the burden."

"So what do you say?"

"Wechen thinks about whether we can reduce the number of households, such as changing it to 80,000 rich households, and Wechen thinks it's about the same."

Zhu Jun shook his head, "Eighty thousand is too little, at least 100,000 households, you can get together again, and the capable young and strong can also do it." ”

"I'm afraid three days won't be enough."

Zhu Jun thought for a while and said, "Then set off after the New Year, but things can't be delayed any longer!" ”

"Wechen try to do it!"

"Not as much as possible, but definitely!"

Zhu Jun had to migrate 100,000 wealthy families to Luoyang before, mainly because the population of Henan Province, where Luoyang is located, is insufficient and it is difficult to support the capital.

A few years ago, the war broke out, a large number of people in Henan Province fled to the Central Plains, forming a homeless people, and as a result, they were all driven to Hexi by Zhu Zhu, and now they find out that they did a stupid thing at that time, but they can no longer make up for it, so they can only move the people of Guanzhong to Luoyang to fill the population vacancy.

Since the people in Guanzhong were to be relocated, of course, the rich people had to be relocated, and the plan of relocating 120,000 rich households was born.

Yuan Xiu smiled bitterly, had to nod and agree, and retreated first.

Zhu Jun summoned Li Cheng, the governor of Ouchi, to inquire about the preparations for the migration of the inner library.

Li Cheng was the former deputy head of the inner house, an old eunuch in his sixties, very shrewd, and Zhu Jun looked at him more pleasing to the eye, so he made him the chief of the inner house.

"Your Majesty, recently a large number of eunuchs and palace maids have fled, and many things are unmanned, and it is indeed difficult for the old slave to ......."

Without waiting for Li Cheng to finish speaking, Zhu Jun interrupted him impatiently, "The people in the palace can leave if they want to leave, if they don't leave, do they still have to feed them, I can't take so many people away, I am asking you about the migration preparations of the inner library, not to listen to you complain about the lack of manpower." ”

"Back to Your Majesty, all the small belongings have been packed, and there are only thousands of large utensils left, such as porcelain, jade, bronze, precious furniture, etc., which have not been packed up, but have been made up and recorded."

"Can I finish packing in three days?"

Li Cheng's head shook like a rattle, "Three days is definitely too late, at least a month, 5,700 utensils!" ”

These large utensils were all the property left by Li Shi Neiku in the past, and Jing Yuanjun could not snatch them, only a few hundred pieces of porcelain were destroyed, and the other items were safe and sound, becoming Zhu Jun's private wealth.

Zhu Jun thought about it, it is better to use a boat for large items, and it is not realistic to transport them with livestock.

"Then transport the packed small items away first, and the large items will be transported in the second batch."

"The old slave understood."

"You give me a good look, and you are not allowed to be stolen again, otherwise I will ask you!"

"Don't dare, the old slave will do his best to protect the property of the inner treasury, and will never let it lose another one."

Li Cheng retired, Zhu Jun came to the map with his hands in his hand, looking at Shang Luodao, he was quite nervous in his heart, and he always had an ominous premonition, so he didn't know if Guo Song would attack Shang Luodao.

...........

Yao Jin led an army of 10,000 people, under the leadership of the old guide Yang Jin, and it took five days to cross Funiu Mountain, and the road was very difficult and dangerous, and it really exhausted both men and horses.

The key was to find the source of the water, and then follow the frozen water all the way south, but it took three days to find the source.

They created a miracle that in the cold winter, there were 10,000 cavalry passing through the reckless Funiu Mountain, which was probably the first such army since the Sui and Tang dynasties.

Passing through Funiu Mountain is Neixiang County, at dusk, 10,000 cavalry entered Neixiang County, there were no defenders in the city, only dozens of militia soldiers, responsible for opening the city and closing the city.

The county order was called Zhang Pu, and when he heard that it was the Hedong army coming, he was so frightened that he hurriedly brought several officials to meet the army.

"Welcome to the army to settle in the small county, if there are any requirements, the lower officials will do their best to assist."

"What's your name?"

"The villain Zhang Pu is the county magistrate of this county."

"It turned out to be Zhang County's order, you don't have to be nervous, our military discipline is very good, we won't disturb the people, can there be grain and grass in the official warehouse?"

"There are 5,000 stone of grain, but there is not much forage, only 1,000 quintals, but the lower officials can collect a little in the county, and they may be able to get some black beans."

Yao Jin said happily: "We have to take away the grain from the official warehouse, and the forage is too, so please ask the county gentleman to collect some more forage and black beans, and we will rest overnight and set off early tomorrow morning." ”

The county commander hurriedly asked people to find a vacant house to place the army to rest, and collected forage and black beans everywhere, barely meeting the needs of the army.

At night, when the soldiers and horses were resting, Yao Jin sent someone to invite the county commander Zhang Pu, and asked him with a smile: "I want to know about the situation in Wuguan, is there anyone in the county who is familiar with Wuguan?" ”

"Yes! Master Hu has just returned from Wuguan, so you can ask him. ”

Zhang Xianling hurriedly found Hu Tong, the main bookkeeper, and explained the situation to him.

Hu Tong, the chief bookkeeper, was about thirty years old, and was born as a scribe, so he was a very shrewd and capable person at first glance.

Hu Tong hugged his fists and said: "I was seconded to Wuguan half a month ago to participate in the inventory of materials, and I only came back the day before yesterday, and I really know more about the situation over there, I don't know what the general wants to know?" ”

"Tell me first, how many defenders are there in Wuguan?" Yao Jin asked with a smile.

"A thousand!"

Hu Tong replied without hesitation: "The Wuguan garrison has always been a thousand people, and it has not changed for more than ten years, and two warehouses have been built, which usually guarantees the supply of a thousand people for a month, and the winter is three months. ”

"Wuguan's city defense is aimed at the south, so can it defend the north?"

"In fact, the north and the south are almost the same, the key to Wuguan is the terrain is dangerous, built in a high place, there is a city, there are city towers in the north and south, which can accommodate a thousand people, whether it is the north or the south are more difficult to attack, the biggest defect of Wuguan is that there is no water source, and it is necessary to reserve clear water in the city, but it is better in winter, there is an ice warehouse in the city, and they store a lot of ice."

Yao Jin took a few steps, he turned back to Hu Tong and smiled: "We want to outwit Wuguan, please ask Master Hu for help, in return, I will guarantee that you will be the assassin of Dengzhou in the future, how about it?" ”

Yao Jin continued: "My surname is Yao, I am the second-ranked general under the King of Jin, the commander of the Second Army of the Jin Army, the Duke of Dunhuang County, the official rank is General Congsanpin Yunlu, and I am currently the highest military position under the King of Jin. ”

Hu Tong pondered for a long time, there are risks and opportunities here, the risk is that after this matter is over, he will not be able to stay in Neixiang County, his family will have to leave, and of course the position of the chief bookkeeper will be gone, but the opportunity is that he may be able to become the assassin of Dengzhou in the future, he is a scribe, what an attractive opportunity for him.

Yao Jin saw that he was silent in thought, thinking that he didn't believe in himself, so he said: "If the master bookkeeper feels that Yao's promise is a bit unreliable, or after the matter is completed, I will reward you with a thousand taels of gold, and the master book will choose by himself." ”

Hu Tong shook his head and said: "I don't want gold, I am willing to help General Yao, I only hope that General Yao can keep me as a clerk in the army." ”

Yao Jin laughed, "Good! After the deed is done, you will join the army as a soldier of my Second Army. ”

"I'll arrange for my wife and children to leave, and then I'll follow the general to Wuguan."

Yao Jin immediately took out three hundred taels of silver and rewarded it to Hu Tongtong to arrange his family.

Before dawn the next day, they drove 50 carts carrying hundreds of fat pigs they had purchased and headed in the direction of Wuguan.
