Hearing this, Cui Wenqing suddenly showed a look of surprise, clapped his hands and laughed: "Haha, the teacher is really vigorous and resolute in politics, with the help of these Li people, the cotton planting industry in the four states of the north can begin!" ”

Tong Zhou smiled and explained: "Actually, speaking of which, there is a fluke element in the imperial court's relocation of the Li people, why not? The Guyin Li people all live in the land of Yazhou, the customs and culture are very different from the Central Plains, and their tribe settled in Yazhou, easy will not go out, so they moved to the four states of the north, it is tantamount to an idiot talking in a dream, but fortunately, it happened that the patriarch of the Li nationality died of a sudden illness, and several sons fought for power and profit, which caused turmoil within the Li people, and the third son of the old patriarch who died of illness, Delun Balang, lost in the battle for the throne, and was disheartened and took the people loyal to him to follow the imperial court and migrated to the four states of the north. ”

Hearing this, Cui Wenqing showed an expression that was the same, and asked with concern: "Then I don't know how many Li people came this time?" ”

Tong Zhou and Lu Huiqing glanced at each other and smiled.

It was Tongzhou who said: "There are a lot, there are about 3,000 households in total, and there are 20,000 people. ”

"20,000 people?!" Surprised, Cui Wenqing's voice was almost so high that he lost his voice.

In fact, it is no wonder that Cui Wenqing was so surprised.

In his memory, the Li nationality is an ethnic minority, first, the population is small, and second, they are accustomed to the water and soil of Yazhou, so it is extremely difficult for anyone to be willing to come to the four northern states.

Although he said that there would be brave men under the heavy reward, he also thought that it would be enough to be able to move about a thousand people.

Unexpectedly, Wang Anshi actually gave him such a big surprise this time.

A full 20,000 Li people were migrated, which really surprised and delighted Cui Wenqing.

"Then I don't know where these Li people are now?" After calming down, Cui Wenqing asked in a deep voice.

Tong Zhou said with a smile: "Migration is not something that can be completed overnight, at present, the first batch of 1,000 Li people have arrived in Fugu and are camping outside the city, and the rest of the people are still on the road, I believe that within three months, they will all arrive in the four northern states." ”

Cui Wenqing nodded to show understanding, but heard Tong Zhou continue: "But Nadelun Barang has already arrived with the first batch, if Cui Lang wants to see him, he can." ”

Cui Wenqing was so happy that he didn't even want to talk about the issuance of silver tickets for the time being, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go out of the city and meet this Delumbalang." ”

※※※

Among the Li people, "Delun" is the largest surname, and it is also the surname of the patriarch.

As far as the current Li people in Yazhou are concerned, although they are scattered all over Yazhou, they have a common patriarch.

A series of matters large and small are decided by the patriarch.

However, it is a pity that because of the sudden death of the old patriarch, the Li people have been fighting for power and profit in the past two years.

And it was precisely because of the failure to seize power with his brothers, with the amazement of the somewhat frustrated, that the imperial court called the prefecture to come.

In the barracks outside Fugu County, Delun Barang was standing at the gate of the camp looking at the Fugu County Tower in the distance, and an indescribable feeling quietly permeated his heart.

He is just over 25 years old this year, and he is in the prime of his youth.

There is a pale yellow turban wrapped around his head, a colorful pheasant feather is inserted at the top of the turban, he is wearing a dark blue placket without buttoning half arms, the hem of the half arm is tied in a knot at the navel, revealing the white chest, and the lower body is wearing a pair of slightly tight trousers.

However, it is a pity that in the two-year-long struggle for power and profit, Delumbarang has seen a lot of despicable deeds, and has seen many brothers fighting for his father's power.

Fortunately, the sudden relocation and resettlement of the imperial court saved him.

When he learned that he was going to lead his allegiance tribe to the four northern states, the brother, who had become the new patriarch, readily agreed to him instead of continuing to put him to death.

However, on the way to the four northern states, Delumbarang was confused.

There is not only anxiety about the unknown future, but also reluctance to leave home.

It's a pity that the ships carrying them are still moving slowly day and night.

From the southern country of the land of fish and rice to the splendid Central Plains, from the splendid Central Plains to the northern frontier of the desert and wolf smoke, he traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, traveled a long journey, and traveled for two months, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip - Fugu County, Fuzhou.

It is known that the ruler of the four northern states was a young female governor.

And the one who asked the imperial court to relocate the Li people to the four states of the north was Cui Wenqing, the husband of the female governor.

It is said that this Cui Wenqing was very interested in the textile technology of the Li people, and wanted to ask the Li people to teach the people of the north to plant cotton and weave.

In this regard, Delumbarang is a little scoffed.

Regardless of whether Cui Wenqing is really interested in the textile technology of the Li nationality, if he has the heart to seek textile technology, he will directly send someone to learn it, so why do you need to migrate the Li people to come here with such a big effort?

Needless to say, the migration also has other plans, maybe it is precisely because of the lack of population in the four northern states that Cui Wenqing deceived people from all over the country to enrich his power.

It's a pity that the 20,000 people I brought this time are afraid that they will have to work hard for the Fuzhou Zhe clan in the future.

Wanting to break here, Delumbarang was even more bitter in his heart.

At this moment, a clansman hurriedly came to report: "Young Patriarch, Lord Cui Wenqing, the pacification envoy of Suizhou, and Lord Tongzhou, the envoy of Hedong Road, came to the camp together, saying that they wanted to see you!" ”

Hearing this, Delumbarang's eyes widened in disbelief and he said in surprise: "What did you say? Cui Wenqing and Tongzhou are here? ”

It's no wonder that Delumbarang was so surprised.

As the largest Han official he has seen since he was a child, Delun Balang is the county commander, and in his eyes, the pacification envoy and the economic envoy are tantamount to the unattainable prominent official positions of the Han court.

Especially the envoy of the Economic Strategy, he is a senior official in charge of the military and political affairs of several states, and he is several levels higher than the Yazhou Assassin Shidu.

This time he came to the four northern states, and the biggest Han official he had ever seen was Lu Huiqing, the president of the Hedong Bank, which is said to be not an official official position of the imperial court.

Unexpectedly, when he just arrived in Fugu today, the envoy of Hedong Road and the pacification envoy of Xuzhou actually came to visit together, instead of calling him into the city.

After coming back to his senses, Delumbarang hurriedly asked, "I wonder where the two adults are now?" ”

The tribesmen replied, "We have arrived at the camp gate." ”

Knowing that he could not delay, Delumbarang hurriedly straightened his clothes and hat, and hurried forward.

The third watch is delivered, and the ticket is begging for the ticket!!
