Chapter 184: Zhuang Xin

Xiong Huai paused and continued:

"In addition to befriending the Yue Kingdom, Xianqing has four other important things, one is to buy wheat from the surrounding Chu land and other countries, no matter how much, there are not too many widows; Second, send people to explore the topography and hydrology of the Yue Kingdom, not only the Wu land that Tang Wu is now exploring, but also the homeland of the Yue Kingdom, Huiji and other places. Third, where did we just seize the Huaibei land from the Qi country, that place is easy for the Qi country to capture, and my Chu country can't hold it, so the widow intends to give up where, but where the people of the Qi country are, the widow does not plan to give up, so the third task of the Qing is to move the people of Huaibei and move them from Huaibei to Huainan. ”

Of course, the widow can also understand the feelings of the homeland, so the widow can issue an edict that in the next two years, all the people who migrate, the widow promises tax exemption for three years, and all the treatment of the countrymen. At the same time, all the people who have fields in Huaibei can get the same land in Huainan, one acre of land for one acre of land, and one acre of land for one acre of field, and one acre of land for another, and will never let the people suffer, for those people who do not have land, each strong man can give a hundred acres of land, of which there must be ten acres of land. ”

"Two years later, the people who have not yet moved, that is, those who still have expectations for the Qi country, will be forcibly relocated to all these people, no matter how much land they have in their families, and each strong man will be given 100 acres of land, and there will be no tax exemption."

"In the end, that is to use manpower to promote the idea of the Chu and Yue families to the people of the Yue Kingdom, and at the same time call on the feudal nobles in the Jianghuai region to marry the nobles of the Yue Kingdom, so as to reduce the resistance of the Yue Kingdom to our Chu army."

E Jun nodded again and again when he heard this, and the king of Chu said this long paragraph without pause, obviously he had been preparing for a long time.

And these four requirements, E Jun calculated in his own heart, it is not difficult for him.

Doing business, this is his own business, maybe not as good as a god like Tao Zhugong, but the current Manchu Dynasty civil and military in Chu State, doing business is his own opponent.

Exploring the terrain, this is also simple, and it is completed by the way when doing business.

As for the marriage with the Yue people, as soon as he thought of this, E Jun swallowed his saliva, this is not difficult, since ancient times, the land of Wu Yue has been rich in beauties, if the singer of Zhao is what the people of the world are pursuing, then the beauty of Wu Yue is what the people of the world yearn for. Now that Chu and Yue have good relations, there is no hindrance to the exchanges between the two countries, even if they want to prevent those feudal lords from marrying with Yue, they can't stop it, not to mention that there is also the king of Chu behind him.

The only problem is the relocation of the people, there are not a few people in Huaibei, once it is not handled well, it is easy to cause chaos. In this regard, he is not good at it, and his group of subordinates are not proficient in governing places, although they have all the conveniences given by the King of Chu, but they still have no bottom in their hearts.

Thinking of this, Ejun immediately looked at the king of Chu and said: "The king, the other three ministers can do it, but the relocation of the people is not good at this, please choose another virtuous minister." ”

"This..." Xiong Huai frowned, this candidate is not easy to choose.

If the status is too high, it may be indistinguishable from the Esovereign, and the people with low status and are very talented, this kind of person himself is also lacking.

Moreover, the matter of moving people is very important, and there is no room for mistakes, and we cannot pick on those who talk about it.

Now for himself, the king of Chu, the territory of Chu is vast, so much land in the south of the Yangtze River can be developed, he does not lack land, what he lacks is people, although Huaibei is not as good as the Central Plains, but it has also been developed for many years, the land is fertile, the population is dense, and it is a lot of wealth.

If you ignore it, a tendon is directly forced to relocate, like Dong Zhuo in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, ten people moved from Luoyang to Chang'an, and only one person arrived at the destination, which is a pit. Even if half of the people arrive in Huainan, it will be a big loss, and it will be infamous.

This is different from the last time when the people spontaneously went to Chendi, and last time the strong people went spontaneously, and the initiative was very strong. And this time it is semi-mandatory or compulsory overall migration, dragging the family and the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled together, and it will be very troublesome if you are not careful.

Troublesome matters must be handed over to those who are not afraid of trouble.

Xiong Huai suddenly had a person in his mind, it was Zhuang Xin who went to arrest Nalingjun last time, this person was bold and a person who was not afraid of things. And the ability is not bad, last time I thought that he could come back alive, it would be good, but I didn't expect him to succeed in capturing Which Lingjun back to Yingdu.

However, whether it will work in the area of relocating people or not, we still have to consider it.

Thinking of this, Xiong Huai smiled and said to Ejun: "Xianqing, the widow already has a candidate, but this person can't do it, and he still needs to be recognized by Qing." ”

E Jun saluted and said, "But it is up to the king to decide." ”

It didn't take long for Zhuang Xin to come to the king of Chu and the king of E.

After the ceremony.

Xiong Huai opened his mouth and asked: "Zhuang Qing has been serving as an advisor by the widow's side for a while, and now the widow is facing a difficult matter and wants to ask Zhuang Qing for advice." ”

Zhuang Xin's heart beat violently several times when he heard this.

The king is asking me about state affairs, and the opportunity I have been waiting for for a long time has finally come...

Before risking his life to arrest Na Lingjun, the luck of quickly informing the prince of Chu that something had happened finally had an effect!

Zhuang Xin tried his best to make himself appear calm, but his voice still responded with a trill: "The king is not stupid with his ministers, and the ministers are willing to serve the king." ”

Xiong Huai then told the matter of the relocation of the people, and then asked: "I don't know why Zhuang Qing taught the widow." ”

Moving the people of Huaibei is the problem of the king.

This problem is not the problem of ordinary people being relocated, but the people who have just been occupied, and these people are not only unwilling to leave their homeland, but are likely to run back to the territory of Qi if they are not careful.

Fortunately, Huainan and Huaibei are not far away, and the conditions given by the King of Chu are also very generous.

The easiest way is naturally to move the people away as soon as the army arrives.

But since the king of Chu ascended the throne, he has governed the country with kindness, and the king of Chu is definitely unwilling to use such a rough method.

Zhuang Xin thought for a moment and said, "King, is this matter difficult. ”

Xiong Huai's face was expressionless when he heard this.

Zhuang Xin saw that the king of Chu did not speak, so he continued: "Great king, the land in Huaibei is fertile, the population is large, and there are many people, so it is inevitable that the land will be insufficient, and there will be inequality between the rich and the poor. Therefore, for the people of Huaibei, first of all, we must relocate those poor people who do not have the heart of their homeland, and for these people, we only need to prepare land and farm tools in Huainan, and prepare people and food supplies along the way, then they will come themselves. ”

"So how do you move those who have land and those who are wealthy?" Xiong Huai asked.

Zhuang Xin replied: "Great King, in fact, those wealthy people are also not difficult to move. As long as there is a war in the Huaibei area, no, there is no need for a war, as long as there is the shadow of a big war, those wealthy people will find a safe place on their own, and if we block the road to the north, and then guide it a little, those people will drive their own carriages and take their families to Huainan. ”

"Ugh! Hahaha..." Xiong Huai laughed and said: "Yes, that's right, those rich people will also come by themselves." ”
