Chapter 124: Conditions

I saw that the yellow silk was neatly written on the lines of fly-headed small letters:

"Generalissimo Wan, the thunder god of Kaifeng Mansion, worships Qi:

Liu Yu, the little king, got the favor of the gold lord, stood facing the south, reluctantly called the king, and belonged to the territory, from the south of the Yellow River, the same area, Kaifeng is also among them. The small people of the nether realm, dare to compete with the immortals? It is not easy to ask the generalissimo of Shangxian Wan to sympathize with the suffering of the people and survive in troubled times. Xiao Wang is willing to make an eternal covenant with the Generalissimo of Shangxian Wan: Kaifeng Mansion and its subordinate counties are all governed by the Generalissimo of Shangxian Wan, and the rest of the land is under the jurisdiction of Xiao Wang. The two places respect each other, do not invade each other, every year by Xiao Wang to the generalissimo to the immortal generalissimo to offer 200,000 stones, 5 million pieces of silver, in order to show Xiao Wang's sincerity. In addition, the owner of the gold knew that there were immortals in Kaifeng Mansion, and he almost wanted to use swords and soldiers, but he tried his best to persuade Xiao Wang, and he hoped that the generalissimo of Shangxian Wan would know. ”

The final inscription is the words "Liu Yu, the lord of the Great Qi State, the first year of Fuchang".

Seeing that he had finished reading it from beginning to end, Wan Linggen asked with a smile, "Brother Yang, what do you think?" ”

Yang Zizai said with a smile: "This Liu Yu is also a hero, and it is not easy to write such a thing, but well, this sincerity is still a little thin." ”

Wan Linggen nodded yes, "What Brother Yang said is exactly what I think. ”

Liu Yiduo hurriedly said: "Dashuai, the king of my family Qi said, if Dashuai thinks there is a problem, we can discuss it again." ”

Wan Linggen Zhengse said: "I have at least 300,000 people under the rule of Kaifeng Mansion, and this 200,000 stone of rice grain per year is of course not enough. He whispered to Yang Zizai for a while and said, "You go back and report to your master, this year will cost at least two million stones, and five million yuan of silver will be exempted." ”

Then Liu Yiduo was worried because of the change from twenty to two hundred, and he was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, but before he had time to be happy for half a second, Wan Linggen's words came again: "Change it to five million taels of silver." Liu Yiduo sat on the ground.

Seeing that he was about to speak, Wan Linggen waved his hand and said: "There is another sentence that you must bring for me, your master said that the Jin people want to use troops against me many times, I welcome it, now they have 150,000 people here to help me mine, but the number is still too small, it is better to send me another million people, I have three meals of swill and rotten vegetable leaves here every day." If your master thinks my conditions are too high, then let him dig the stones for me himself. After speaking, he waved his hand, and people pulled the stunned Liu Yiduo out, and Wan Linggen then threw out a sentence: "Take him to see our mine!" ”

Standing on a high place, Liu Yiduo watched the ant-like flow of people under his feet go in and out of the holes, and he felt that the whole world was spinning.

Yang Zizai threw the yellow silk on the table and asked, "Brother, are you really planning to do so?" ”

Wan Linggen nodded, "Brother Yang, there are too few people available to us. Now Zhao Gou in the south doesn't have the slightest trust in me, and the Jin people in the north probably hate me to the core, in this case, we can only temporarily seek temporary stability, strengthen our strength, and then plan for the future. ”

Yang Zizi sighed, "I don't know, but...... Ay! and again we will be plagued by our people. ”

Wan Linggen smiled strangely, "The earth is dead, but people are alive!" ”

Yang Zizai was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Hahaha, Brother Wan is really not a mortal, from now on, we will open the door to welcome guests, are you afraid that there will be something that cannot be done?" ”

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Ten days later, Liu Yu sent a large group of people to reply, in order to show his "sincerity", this time he also brought a million stone of grain and a million taels of silver. The whole city of Kaifeng Mansion celebrated, the four doors were opened, and they were "invited" into the city lively.

Of course, before they left, Wan Linggen arranged for them to "visit" the mining site "by the way", and those people were not much stronger than Liu Yiduo, and they all went back with deep shock and fear.

The Jin people made Liu Yu the king of Qi, and the strongest feeling was the cities that were captured by the Jin people. Although the Jin people withdrew, although the new lord Song Gaozong had a will to send it to the whole country, everyone knew that his attention was not on them at all, or he was not able to control those places.

Just when they were in a panic, a great news fell from the sky, Kaifeng Mansion opened the city to accept people!

What is in Kaifeng Mansion, everyone knows it, whether it is Song Gaozong or Jin Ren, it is a figure that they dare not provoke easily, let alone a little King of Qi. So in just a few days, the people from all walks of life gathered under the city of Kaifeng reached more than 200,000 people.

But they soon found out that things were not as simple as they thought, and the people of Kaifeng Funa were conditional. In addition to the need to register one by one, they are first divided into two groups according to gender, and then continue to be grouped according to age, each with a task assignment, and complete the assigned work, which can not only obtain a "permanent residence permit" issued by the Marshal's Mansion and become a Kaifeng person in the real sense, but also a family who moves over will take the family as a unit, allocate land, and officially settle down.

Standing on the city wall, looking at the sea of people that could not be seen at a glance, Wan Linggen's mood was extremely heavy. Yang Zizi was a little worried, "More than 200,000 people came so quickly, at least half of them are women, children and the elderly, it is okay for a short time, but I am afraid that I can't afford it after a long time." ”

Wan Linggen gritted his teeth and said, "Let's find a way again, since these people are here, we can't let them go back." He let out a long sigh, "It looks like the city needs to be expanded." ”

Yang Zizi was stunned for a moment, and his eyes were full of doubts when he looked at him.

After round-the-clock screening and registration, the 200,000 or so people were taken away. Since then, Kaifeng City has started another vigorous movement, opening up wasteland and extending the new city.

Wan Linggen was very anxious, and ran around with the officials in charge of various affairs all day long, checking the progress of the fortifications and the people's livelihood, and slept less than four hours a day.

He can't help but be in a hurry, by now, the registered population of Kaifeng City has exceeded two million! It's not that he's worried about how to manage such a huge crowd, because he believes in the wisdom of the people, and if he draws the general direction, the people will naturally follow.

He was worried about the city's defense.

After crossing the Yellow River to reach the boundary of Kaifeng, it is almost a flat river, there is no danger to defend, so it is necessary to establish a strong forward defense position, although he believes that the person who can pile up the Great Wall with his bare hands, and then pile up a much smaller scale of the protective wall will not be a problem, but it will take time, but what he is most worried about is time, no one knows where the war will start again.

And a month ago, the king of Qi, Liu Yu, had moved from the Daimyo Mansion to Jinan Mansion, and the next step was very likely to go to Dongping, so that he would be closer and closer to Kaifeng City. Although the two parties have an agreement in advance, in the face of interests, any agreement is nonsense.
