Chapter 139 Get Ready

Although Lu Ren decided to visit Wu Guomu when he arrived in Wu County this time, things are always easier said than done. The reason is also very simple, that is, if you go to visit Wu Guomu, you will inevitably meet Sun Quan, and Sun Quan is definitely one of the people Lu Ren is most reluctant to meet during this period.

Thinking about this problem, Lu Ren thought about not causing this trouble at all! Anyway, for Wu Guomu, if you don't really have to see it here, it's better to have more things than less things.

With such thoughts, Lu Ren didn't have anything to say next. While the boatmen on the dock were busy, Lu Ren was basking in the sun on the hammock on the top deck of the cabin, which seemed to others to be the kind of leisurely posture of a rich boss.

But Lu Ren is not really so leisurely. When others thought that Lu Ren was sleeping in the sun, Lu Ren was actually using a chip to communicate with Shirley to learn about the recent situation in Yizhou. After all, this has already arrived in Wu County, and it won't take long to arrive in Yizhou, and Lu Ren is going back to Yizhou this time to calm down the situation, so it will not be wrong to understand as much as possible about the situation, and then make some corresponding preparations.

From the last time Lu Ren left Yizhou to the present, almost another year has passed. And in the past year, the changes in Yizhou cannot be said to be big, but they are not so small.

The rapid increase in Yizhou's population during the year is certainly a good thing, but the corresponding problems are also obvious. Shirley's last mention of the overpopulation of immigrants is one of the main problems that will make the situation unstable until it is digested and absorbed, and on the other hand, there is also a very headache, which is that the ratio of men to women is somewhat imbalanced. To be more precise, there are many boys and girls, according to the ratio recently counted by Shirley, the ratio between men and women has reached a figure of 3:7.

But it's no wonder. Because in times like that. The young and strong men represent the labor, finance, taxation, and military resources under the power of the candidates, which family will not manage the resources of the young and strong men as long as they are not stupid? Where can these vital resources be easily allowed to flow elsewhere? To put it mildly, if Lu Ren hadn't taken advantage of the war in Hebei to rob some people, I'm afraid he wouldn't even be able to stretch out his hand. Now that I can grab some, it's time to say a few more duck tofu.

On the other hand. Lu Ren's main target area for plundering the population was in Hebei, and the battle in Hebei had been fought for many years, and in the battle of Guandu alone, Yuan Shao defeated 70,000 or 80,000 young and strong men from Hebei, and Cao Cao would not be soft when he killed him. And what was the concept of 70,000 or 80,000 young men at that time? After Cao Cao conquered Yecheng, he seized the household registration of Jizhou, saying that Jizhou could get 300,000 soldiers, so according to each family's strong man to serve as a soldier, the young and strong men in Jizhou would die more than 400,000, and then according to Cui Yan's advice to Cao Cao. The number of young and strong men in Jizhou is much less.

Then the battle in Hebei was fought for several years, Cao Cao wanted to recruit troops, did the Yuan brothers not recruit troops? Under this reduction and reduction, how many young and strong men can be left? The young and strong men who have lost the pillars of the family can only flee the old and young women, and these old and young women naturally constitute the main body of Yizhou's current population composition. In other words, Yizhou's current population structure of fewer men than women is a product of the inevitability of the times.

However, Yizhou is accepting displaced people. The young and strong labor force has not been able to pull much, most of them are half-grown boys and half-grown girls at the same time. It's not really that there is no benefit at all. For example, these half-grown girls are relatively quick to receive education, and in about three or five months, they can be transformed from apprentices to skilled workers. And then after a period of time, when these half-grown boys or girls become adults, they can become the next batch of fresh blood in Yizhou. It is supplemented to various fields in Yizhou, and then makes great progress in all fields.

Then there is the issue of the foreign population...... This alien refers to the non-Han population. Although the people looted from Hebei are also considered outsiders, Lu Ren prefers to classify them as Han Chinese and his own family.

Why? Because Lu Ren has never relaxed his population plundering of Minyue, Jiaozhou, and even Nanyang here. It's just that due to hardware limitations, there are not many people in this category. It can also be called a "minority minority" in the Yizhou area at that time. And Lu Ren has an angry mentality, so although he had to rob the population from various regions for the purpose of strengthening his own strength, he still made up his mind to integrate these "foreign people" into the "great national integration", and if he wants to integrate these foreign people, the population base of Han people must not be less. That's why Lu Ren regarded the looted population from Hebei as his own family.

It's a bit off...... Let's start with the Minyue area. It is said that at the beginning of the establishment of Yizhou, there would often be a small fleet of ships crossing the strait to the coastal area, and obtaining some items needed by Yizhou from the Shanyue area through trading. There are many Shanyue tribes, and there will always be some tribal struggles from time to time, and then there will be fleeing Shanyue people or fleeing, or becoming slaves after defeat and becoming commodities, and then they will follow these small-scale fleets to Yizhou, so the number of people in Yizhou from Shanyue is not a minority.

Later, there were even some Shanyue tribes, almost an entire tribe, who came to settle in Yizhou...... This matter is due to Sun Quan, because in order to stabilize the situation in the territory, Sun Quan sent troops to defeat the Shanyue tribe. It is true that most of the Shanyue tribes will be dependent on Sun Quan, but there will not be too few tribes who will not be dependent on Sun Quan until death. After losing their original land, these tribes who were unwilling to rely on Sun Quan began to move south, and after hearing that there was such a place as Yizhou, they naturally moved there.

Shan Yue finished talking about Jiaozhou. In contrast, the population from Jiaozhou is relatively small, mainly because Gan Ning opened a small opening between Jiaozhou and South Vietnam at that time, and then got some population.

But there is one thing that has to be mentioned here, that is, when the Jiaozhou area was in turmoil at the beginning of the world, many people in the Central Plains ran to Jiaozhou for refuge, and the quality of these people from the Central Plains is also relatively good, but due to the xenophobic psychology that prevails in the local aborigines of Jiaozhou, these Central Plains immigrants in Jiaozhou do not get much attention from the natives, and most of them live in poverty.

After Lu Ren and Shirley learned about this section, they decisively sent some Jiaozhou people who migrated to Yizhou in the early days to Jiaozhou, and they were to persuade those who migrated to Jiaozhou from the Central Plains. And Gan Ning, who carried out this matter at that time, didn't know what was going on, every time it was only five hundred or six hundred, and a total of four or five thousand people moved before and after, and finally it inexplicably triggered a wave of immigrants who said that it was not big or small. In terms of that posture, if it weren't for the limited number of ships that Yizhou could supply to Gan Ning at that time, it would not be a big problem for Gan Ning to move tens of thousands of people to Yizhou.

However, Lu Ren had been in the late Han Dynasty for many years, and knew that this pool of water was extremely deep, and his current strength was limited, so he couldn't go too far, so he quickly asked Shirley to stop Gan Ning at about the same time. And at this time, it was just necessary to send Gan Ning to the Bohai region to rob the population of Hebei, and the incident in Jiaozhou was so inexplicably troublesome, and then inexplicably calmed down.
