Chapter 663: Displaced People and Immigrants
In the Luzon Banana Bay stronghold, Xu Yuan looked at the two earth kings in front of him, raised his glass with a smile on his face, and said: "Two highnesses, I will give two of you a glass on behalf of our Royal Highness King Yue!" ā
"General Xu is polite, it is also a great honor for our Rani Kingdom to be able to form an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty!" At this time, the earth king sitting on the left side said with a smile, of course he spoke in the native language, but there was an interpreter next to him to help translate. This Tuwang is middle-aged, although he is not tall, but he is very strong, he is the king of the strongest of the seven Turen kingdoms known to Xu Yuan now.
"Yes, the Liuke Kingdom is despicable and shameless, it has attacked our country before, and with the support of the Great Song Dynasty this time, we can finally destroy this henchman!" At this time, the earth king sitting on the right side also opened his mouth and smiled, this guy has a special body shape, he is a round big fat man, and the earth people are already relatively dark, and they look black and fat like black coal.
"King Qinghe is right, the Liuke Kingdom is our common enemy, this time we must destroy each other, and we must not let the Liuke Kingdom exist in the world again!" Xu Yuan also said with a firm face when he heard this, this black fat man is the king of the Qinghe Kingdom, he came here with King Lani, and he came here for the alliance of the three parties, and now the three of them have signed an alliance on behalf of their country, and the next step is to jointly crusade against the Liuke Kingdom.
"General Song, now that the alliance has been concluded, when will the assistance promised to us by the Great Song Dynasty arrive, as long as those aided weapons arrive, we will be able to destroy the Liuke Kingdom immediately!" At this time, King Rani asked again, according to the content of the covenant, the Great Song Dynasty will provide a batch of weapons for the two countries, as for food, they are not short at all, what they lack is sharp weapons, after all, although they know some smelting techniques. But the weapons made were so bad, and there weren't many metal weapons, and most of the natives still used weapons made of stone or bone.
"Please rest assured about this, because I knew that the two Highnesses would definitely sign this covenant, so I sent someone back to the Great Song Dynasty to prepare as early as a month ago, and the time is about the same. It is estimated that the ships transporting weapons will be able to arrive in the next few days. Xu Yuan immediately said, in fact, there are a large number of weapons stored in the stronghold where they are, but these weapons are the standard weapons of the Great Song Army, and the quality is good, Xu Yuan is reluctant to give them to the natives, so he asked people to go back and prepare some of the worst and cheapest weapons, anyway, the metal weapons on the natives' side are also of poor quality, and it is a waste to send them too good weapons.
Hearing that the weapons would be delivered soon, King Rani and King Qinghe also had a smile on their faces. At the moment, he raised his glass and drank with Xu Yuan, although Xu Yuan was a monk before, he never taboo it, and the amount of alcohol was even more amazing, so the last two earth kings were poured down by him.
asked people to send the two earth kings down to rest, Xu Yuan came to another living room, and then convened his generals and staff to discuss the matter, among which Mr. Huang, whom Huang Sanxing had seen, also came. He had previously gone to a well-known tribe in the Rani Kingdom, and had persuaded the leader of the other party to support an alliance with the Great Song Dynasty. It can be regarded as a great achievement.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the pact has been made, Rani and Qinghe will soon launch an attack on the Ruke Kingdom, this is a good time for us to expand our power, where do you think we should start next?" Xu Yuan invited everyone to sit down, and then took a sip of tea to press the wine. He also drank a lot of wine just now, and he also felt a little drunk at this time.
"General, I think that now that the stronghold has been stabilized, it's time to emigrate from the Great Song Dynasty!" At this time, one of the staff members opened his mouth and said that Zhao Yan had tempted many people to come to look for gold mines with the news of the gold produced in Luzon. In addition, there were many merchants who came to trade with the natives, but these people only came to live in the stronghold temporarily, and they were not long-term residents at all, and the rest were all guards, so strictly speaking, the stronghold was only a military fortress, and it could not be regarded as a place of residence at all.
Hearing the mention of this staff, Xu Yuan also pondered for a moment, and finally nodded and said: "It's indeed time to immigrate here, speaking of which, because of the impact of the drought in my Great Song Dynasty, there are a lot of displaced people, although the drought is now alleviated, but these displaced people still can't be resettled for a while, so it's a good opportunity to come here, you can transport these displaced people here." ā
Xu Yuan mentioned the transfer of the displaced people, and the following staff and others also opened their mouths to build yƬ, and soon supplemented this plan, and then Xu Yuan took matters into his own hands, recorded the entire plan, and then ordered someone to send it back to Guangzhou to Zhao Yan, if Zhao Yan agreed, he could immediately transfer the displaced people to Luzon.
Next, Xu Yuan discussed other matters related to the expansion of the stronghold with his staff, after all, in addition to increasing the population, the Great Song Dynasty could not have only such a stronghold, and it was definitely necessary to expand its power outward, and now the Liuke Kingdom was about to be besieged by the two kingdoms, it was a good time for them to take the opportunity to expand, and during this time, Xu Yuan and others had also selected a few good places, and the conditions in some places were even better than here in Banana Bay, and they could build larger strongholds.
Half a month later, Xu Yuan's letter requesting immigrants was finally delivered to Zhao Yan, in fact, even if Xu Yuan didn't say it, Zhao Yan also planned to transfer some displaced people to Luzon, because although the drought has eased during this time, the displaced people in some places have formed a scale, and they cannot be eliminated for a while, but if these displaced people can be transferred to Luzon, it can solve the pressure of displaced people in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, it can also make Luzon's stronghold more stable, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
However, Zhao Yan can't make his own decisions about this matter, he must go to Zhao Ji, after all, the relocation of the population is not a trivial matter, even if it is a homeless person, you must know that in the past, Xu Yuan brought the population from the Great Song Dynasty to the Great Island, which was carried out in private, and it was also a crime for the Great Song Dynasty.
Since Wang Anshi resigned as prime minister and Sima Guang returned to Beijing to take power, some of the old parties that had been degraded before returned to Beijing one after another, and this time finally kept the power of the old and new parties in a balance, and it was no longer a situation in which the new party was dominant.
After Zhao Yan received Zhao Yan's request to immigrate to Luzon, he opened the map and looked at the location of Luzon, but his face showed hesitation, because he felt that Luzon was too far away from the Great Song Dynasty, and it was a wild place overseas, so was there really a need to immigrate there? (To be continued......)
PS: I'm in a bit of a hurry this morning, so I can only add two thousand words, and I'll make up for the chapter in the evening.
