That's right, the things that the master did before had a clear purpose!

Taking the opportunity to pull the four major families of Jinling to grow together is only one of the reasons.

The most important reason is that he took pity on the people of the northern land who had suffered from the snow disaster, and wanted to minimize their innocent casualties, and then he set up a line with the secret people left by Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong, planning to make some efforts to send most of the victims outside the capital to live overseas by sea.

Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong had just established themselves in Java, and if they wanted to develop and grow, they naturally needed a steady stream of population filling, and they naturally trusted the simple people of Daqi more.

With the rank and status of the eldest master, there are few things in the court that can hide from him.

What is going on with the disaster relief in the past by the imperial court and local governments, the eldest lord is clear in his heart, and he is simply intentionally purifying!

That's right, it is to consciously reduce the number of victims, and the way to reduce it is naturally to let the elderly, weak, women and children among the victims, and even adult men who are not strong enough to die.

The eldest lord deliberately read the records about disaster relief, he didn't know about other places, anyway, every time there was a catastrophe in the capital, and those who could return to their hometown alive after the disaster were almost all adult strong men.

It is not normal for the entire number of victims to be reduced by six or seven percent!

As for how the government quietly reduced the number of people, that is, the victims were in a state of severe hunger, first so that the victims had no strength to make trouble, and then in various severe weather and sanitary environments, the elderly, weak, women and children who were not in good health or who were weak in resistance naturally experienced large-scale deaths.

At that time, because of the long-term hunger, Ding Zhuang, an adult among the victims, had no chance to resist even if he reacted.

Not to mention, every time at that time, in order to be able to eat a full stomach, any human tragedy can really happen, at least when the eldest master is looking through the information, he can basically see the words 'Yi Zi and eat'.

The eldest lord didn't regard himself as a saint, but he couldn't do it without the ability, and watched the millions of victims, because of the deliberate actions of the government and the imperial court, there were more than six or seven percent of the casualties.

In this era of extremely backward science and technology, population is the most valuable resource, an important factor that can determine the rise and fall of a power or even a country.

On the one hand, Prince Zhongshun and King Yizhong are seriously lacking manpower in their hands, because they can't recruit people openly, and the people of Daqi have the custom of being difficult to leave their homeland, which makes the two royal bigwigs who took the initiative to go to sea to struggle distressed, and in order to get the people of Daqi to go to the past, they simply turned gray hair.

On the one hand, the court and government of Daqi do not take human life seriously, and they reduce tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars in disaster years at every turn, which is simply chilling.

Fortunately, what the eldest master did was not in vain, and the method of substituting work for revitalization proposed made the young and strong people in the homeless people have enough to eat, and by the way, they can also earn a lot of rations, barely supplying the old and young in the family without major problems.

Lian Er, as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, is naturally qualified to dictate the management of the victims, and under his intentional and unintentional intervention, the resettlement and sanitary environment of the victims outside the city have always been handled quite well.

Not to mention anything else, the igloo created under the guidance of the old man at least gave the victims a place to shelter from the wind and rain in the cold winter, and saved the lives of most of the victims during the coldest Chinese New Year.

As for those who are particularly weak, or those who died of disease, the eldest master is also powerless.

In short, under the secret actions of the eldest lord, at least eight to ninety percent of the victims gathered outside the capital this time have survived the most difficult winter, and they can definitely be regarded as thousands of Buddhas.

Oh yes, the reason why I was able to do it so much has to say that Zhang Laodao has made a huge contribution to it.

The eldest master only revealed a little bit of meaning, and Zhang Laodao immediately understood and took the initiative to invite the Taoist monks to come forward to clean up the patients and soothe people's hearts in the homeless camp, and the effect was quite good.

Later, when the Buddhist monks saw it, they were naturally not willing to lag behind and participated, helping the victims to survive the difficulties while taking the opportunity to cultivate a large number of fresh Buddhist believers.

The monks of Buddhism and Taoism came forward to appease and help the victims, which would naturally alarm the royal family and the present, but the two monks did not do too much, and the healing methods were mainly supplemented by religious means, and the number of displaced people was indeed a little difficult to manage.

In addition, it has to be said that the grain confiscated from the raid of several major grain stores in the capital today is sufficient, and there is enough flour and the imperial merchant family headed by the Xue family has taken the initiative to contribute, and the amount of grain controlled in the hands today is too large to a certain extent.

There is a big man secretly fueling the troubles, and now he is quite distrustful of the household department in charge of money and food, and finally handed over all the real work to the people who embroidered clothes and guards.

It is rare for the embroidered guards to have such an opportunity to show their faces, and besides, they don't look down on the benefits of the food, and there is no greed for disaster relief food in the imperial court this time, which is also one of the main reasons why eight to ninety percent of the victims can survive the severe cold.

In short, when the harsh winter passed and the weather warmed up, the living environment of the victims was greatly alleviated.

Then the wharf and cinder road were built, and a large number of people went to the seaside, and were tempted by the two royal tycoons, and rushed to the land of the South Seas in batches on ships to fight.

The two royal tycoons directly tempted the land, and few of the people who lost their land could withstand it, and a large number of people who were affected by the disaster quickly disappeared into the camp land of the homeless people in their families.

The number of displaced people is too much, and the imperial court and the government are simply unable and unwilling to do fine management.

In this way, by the time the weather warmed up completely, and the snow and ice of last winter's harsh winter quickly melted, there were hundreds of thousands of displaced people in the camp.

This is definitely a big project, but fortunately, the two royal tycoons have a deep background, and the number of sea ships in their hands is enough and there is no shortage of food, so they can do this in just a few months.

The disappearance of hundreds of thousands of displaced people, not to mention the reaction of the government, in short, spread among the displaced people, saying that there are big island owners in the South China Sea to collect landless displaced people, as long as they are willing to go there, there is no ambiguity.

Whether the homeless believe it or not, in short, they all know that there is such a way out, and if they really can't get along, it's not impossible to fight overseas.

In the years following the outbreak of the snowstorm in northern Gyeonggi, about 2 million displaced people from the north rushed to settle in Java by sea, which severely replenished the severely lacking population.

The eldest lord did not act as a spectator in his speech, but through the fleet of the Jinling people, and also recruited thousands of scholars, he went to several small islands in Java of the Jia family to reclaim farmland for development and construction.

A large number of apprehensive Daqi people poured in, and if the two royal tycoons in Java had no problem with their brains, they would inevitably take the opportunity to create gods and stabilize their foundations.

There are immortal monks in the world of Red Mansions, and the monks in Daqi are restrained to death by the imperial court and the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism, and it is basically difficult for ordinary people to meet monks.

But in the open sea, Java is a big place, where indigenous totemic gods exist and are closely related to the daily life of the aborigines.

There are also priests brought by Western merchants, all of whom are ruthless people with strange skills.

The eldest lord's manpower in Java secretly reported, and when the two royal tycoons were expanding their territory, they did not suffer from the losses of the indigenous totem gods and Western priests, and for this reason, they also caused several riots and almost failed to control them.

Fortunately, the two royal bigwigs in Java are not without the assistance of high-ranking people, and there are no authentic monks from the two schools of Buddhism and Taoism, but there are many so-called side monks, who can finally stabilize the basic situation of the two royal tycoons, but there is no hope of expansion.

This matter is not a secret in the sea area of Java in the open sea, and the two royal tycoons also told the lord about it, and asked the lord for his opinion, wanting to solve such troubles.

According to the thoughts of the two royal tycoons, they did not want to involve the authentic monks of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism in the early stage of development, and once the authentic monks of the two sects of Buddhism and Taoism were brought in, basically the secrets of the two of them would not be kept.

No one is sure that after hearing the news today, they will do something that is quick for their relatives and enemies, and with the character of not rubbing sand in today's eyes, it is really possible to cut off the back road of the two royal tycoons.

Even if you don't send troops to conquer, as long as you strictly control the export of population to the outside world, you can make the two royal tycoons in Java gradually lose in despair.

What will happen at that time, no one can guess, don't expect the magnates of this era to have any feelings for their family and country, maybe the two royal tycoons in despair will become the assistants of Western forces to peep at Daqi, and no one can guarantee that such a thing will not happen.

The eldest lord still attaches great importance to this, and his understanding of the cultivation of the world of the Red Chamber has given the two royal tycoons who are also the hands of the Jia family in Java, and chose a method of 'creating gods'.

Obviously, the two royal tycoons in Java do not want to lure the royal ancestor or the power of the Great Qi Netherworld Dragon Listening over, but want to stand on their own and be the ancestors.

The eldest lord didn't want Ning Rong's second duke's ancestral spirit to have the opportunity to go to Java to achieve a land, and then the idea he gave was more normal.

If you want to create a god to protect your own territory, in addition to the ancestral spirits, then sacrifice to the spirits of heaven and earth to create gods.

Like the dragon king, what sea god and the like, a god with a wide range of influence, can use the pious sacrifice of a large number of people, trigger the divinity to ignite the divine fire to achieve the god clone, enough to protect the peace of the people in a place, from the chaos of the indigenous totem gods.

I don't know what the two in Java mean, but the eldest man thinks that he is benevolent enough to do his duty, so he doesn't know much.
