Highbury was taken down like a dead dog.

After a quarter of an hour or so, a sumptuous table of wine and food was put on the table.

Wang Mingcheng crossed the threshold and saw Yang Yansi sitting in the middle of the main hall, and immediately knelt on the ground, tears in his eyes.

"The minister is Mingcheng, knock on the king."

Yang Yansi got up, stopped his sleeve robe, took three steps and two steps, walked in front of Wang Mingcheng, and helped him up, "Mingcheng, we don't want this in the south." ”

Wang Mingcheng stood up with the support of Yang Yansi and said excitedly: "The king has generously given the minister, and the minister is ashamed to accept it. ”

Yang Yansi pulled Wang Mingcheng and walked to the table with sumptuous wine and food, and sat down.

"Mingcheng, this time I entered the Liao Kingdom in the east, and I replaced nearly 80,000 people in the south of my country, which can be described as a high level of hard work, and you deserve to be promoted to the rank of knight. And in the future, don't call me kings, or kings.

On the edict given by the Song State, the lord of the southern country is Yi Xi, not me.

You might as well call me Lord. ”

Wang Mingcheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded sincerely.

Yang Yansi personally poured wine for Wang Mingcheng, and Wang Mingcheng was flattered and held the wine glass.

After the two sat down, they didn't talk much, and drank four or five glasses with a wine glass, and after Wang Mingcheng's mood calmed down, Yang Yansi asked: "Mingcheng, what have you gained from entering Liao this time, tell me." ”

"Hmm......" Wang Mingcheng put down his wine glass, pondered for a while, typed a draft, and said: "Lord Hui, this time the minister entered the Liao Kingdom in the east, after four months, most of the time he was adrift at sea.

When the minister went, nearly 1,000 men died on the way. Most of them were suffocated, and some were killed by infighting.

The minister thinks that the next time he goes, he should pay attention to this aspect.

The minister arrived in Liao this year, and according to the instructions of the adults, as soon as he went ashore, he contacted the magnates of the Liao State and sent a lot of gold and silver.

There was gold and silver to pave the way, and the plan to replace the population was going well.

The men who escorted the past Jiaozhi basically replaced the Han people of the Liao State in the ratio of five for four. As for those old and weak women and children, there is no need for ministers to replace them, and the nobles of Liao State feel that those people are burdens, so they directly give them to the ministers.

In addition, the ministers were interested in promoting the life of the southern country, which also attracted some Han people to secretly follow the ministers.

Therefore, the combined population exceeded 80,000 people.

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom also knew about this, but they almost turned a blind eye.

When the minister returned, there were not enough ships, so they spent money to rent ships from them, and they did not hesitate to rent them all.

At present, there are two percent more ships in our fleet than when Chen went to Liao. ”

When Yang Yansi heard this, he nodded with satisfaction, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Wang Mingcheng, drank it all, put down the wine glass, and said: "It's done well, as long as the gap is opened from the Liao nobles, the future population replacement plan will go more smoothly."

Your success in the first battle can be said to be indispensable. ”

"Adult ......"

Wang Mingcheng wanted to speak and stopped.

Yang Yansi said with a smile: "If you have something to say, don't swallow it, if you ask for something, I will consider it as appropriate." ”

Wang Mingcheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "The minister hopes to continue to run between the Liao Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom and continue to implement the population replacement plan. ”

Yang Yansi was stunned, and said suspiciously: "You have opened the gap, and you can leave the rest to others." Could it be that you dislike that the area under the jurisdiction of the Harbour Government is too small?

I can tell you responsibly, don't look at the small area under the jurisdiction of the Harbour City, but the future development of Harbour City is not comparable to other prefectures. According to my estimates, as long as the harbour government develops, the annual tax revenue will be more than half of the annual tax of the Song Kingdom. ”

Hearing Yang Yansi say this, Wang Mingcheng was surprised.

More than half of the annual taxes of the Great Song Dynasty are paid, and Wang Mingcheng knows very well how much money there is.

Wang Mingcheng lowered his head in silence, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at Yang Yansi with a firm gaze, and said: "My lord, the minister wants to continue to run between the two countries in southern Liaoning, not because the minister dislikes the territory under the jurisdiction of the harbor government is too small. But...... After seeing the life of the Han people in Liaodi, their hearts were greatly shaken, and they lived too hard.

The ministers have never seen anyone who lives more bitterly than them.

The minister wants to rescue more people as soon as possible.

Although the door of the Liao nobles was knocked on, but if another person was sent to go, the Liao people might not admit it, and it was still up to the ministers to manipulate the matter. Not only can you get twice the result with half the effort, but you can also exchange more Han people from the Liao people. ”

Yang Yansi frowned, stared at Wang Mingcheng, and said in a deep voice: "Have you figured it out?" ”

Wang Mingcheng looked admitted, and said solemnly: "The minister has never been as clear as this at this moment. The minister is also a Han ......"

Yang Yansi let out a long sigh, "Now that the southern country is short of manpower, and there is a shortage of great talents in the country, I originally wanted to put you in an important position, since you insist on continuing to replace the population, then go for it."

I will keep the location of your harbor government for you, and I will temporarily assign an agent to the harbor government when I go back.

When you want to work in the port government, you will take office when you want to take office. ”

Wang Mingcheng got up and clasped his fists, "Thank you, Lord for your kindness." ”

"Let's not talk about that, let's eat. I've been adrift at sea for a long time, so I must want to drink these dishes, right? ”

"Would love to ......"

The two ate and drank together, talked and laughed until the moonrise of tomorrow.

Wang Mingcheng, as well as his subordinates led by Wang Mingcheng, indulged in three days at the Hong Kong and Macau docks.

Three days later, Wang Mingcheng handed over all the Liaodi Han people he brought back to Yang Yansi, and then took his mighty fleet to escort the men in Jiaozhi and set out on the journey again.

This is Wang Mingcheng's journey.

Wang Mingcheng, from the time when he first took refuge in Yang Yanhe, a person who was coerced by his family and had to go to camp, finally found the direction of his life.

Then, in this direction, he began to move forward silently.

Yang Yansi watched Wang Mingcheng's fleet leave, and his heart was mixed.

He didn't know whether it was right or wrong for him to agree to Wang Mingcheng's request.

In Liaodi, there are nearly 5 million Han people, and when will Wang Mingcheng's replacement method be completed?

Yang Yansi roughly estimated that it would take twenty-five years.

And that's without any hindrance.

Once the Liao people discovered the laziness of the Jiaozhi men, they compared them with the diligent Han Min. Who will replace Wang Mingcheng again?

If Wang Mingcheng is left in the Harbour Mansion and helps him take care of the Harbour Mansion, maybe within three years, the Harbour Mansion will become rich.

With a lot of money, Yang Yansi can quickly equip more troops.

In contrast, Wang Mingcheng's stay in the Harbour House is far more cost-effective than his own implementation of the replacement plan.
