Chapter 688: Relocation Plan
The Frontier Relocation Program did not go as smoothly as expected, and it could even be said that it was very difficult.
Moving local residents to the capital is no small undertaking.
Everyone has their own hometown plot, and the younger ones are better to say, mainly the old people who have lived in the frontier for many years.
They have lived here for generations, and here are their roots, and they are the plants that grow tenaciously in this land.
Once they are separated, no matter how well they live in the future, they will always feel that there is a thorn in their hearts
The elderly have already adapted to life here, and it takes a long distance to get to the capital, and most people are reluctant to move.
Even though there are many wars and chaos in this Xinjiang, they are still unwilling to leave.
However, there are also many people who have thought it through, and most of them are young people who know that this is for their good.
There are years of war here, there is no grass, and the blood of soldiers is all over the land.
It's not a good place to live at all, and if they insist on staying here, they won't live well.
Even if the queen introduced sweet potatoes for them, the peaceful days outside were what they had always hoped for.
Not to mention that many people have never left this place since they were born, and they have long wanted to see the wide world outside.
But even though most people have accepted it, there are still people who disagree with the plan.
"We have lived here for generations, this is our hometown that we can't leave, it's our roots, you let us leave our roots, how can we live?"
A lady about fifty years old.
The eldest lady's son frowned and kept persuading.
"Mother, we still have to live in the future, and the frontier is miserable.
We might as well leave, and I heard that the capital is very prosperous, with a lot of traffic, and there is no war.
If we had gone there, life would have been much better than it is now. ”
The eldest lady frowned, still a little hesitant.
It is indeed difficult to get a person to decisively leave a familiar place.
The opposition next to him couldn't listen anymore and sneered: "Leave? Where can we go?
Except here, everywhere we go are outsiders, and we are going to be bullied. ”
"That is, if we are gone, what will happen to our ancestors, who are all buried here, for us to abandon them?"
The eldest lady's son frowned, angry, and his tone was not very good.
"That's better than fighting every day, maybe one day you will never come back as soon as you go out."
The two of them come and go like this, and when they talk, they feel like they are talking and they are moving.
Originally, the two parties quarreled because of disagreements.
Now these two men are leading the fight, and they have rolled up their sleeves to join the fight.
If you want to see it, it will get worse, and the officials in the frontier hurriedly sent people to stop it, so as not to make this matter worse.
It's just that this matter made a big fuss, and it soon spread to Yin Zhige.
Yin Zhige was still in the imperial study to review the fold, and when he heard the news, he immediately threw down the fold in front of him.
Although he had long expected that this matter would not go well, he did not expect that the frontier people would start infighting first.
"What do those officials in the frontier do, and they can't handle this matter well.
What about King Yan? He didn't care? ”
The subordinates on the side saw that the emperor was very angry, and hurriedly followed.
"The internal strife between the people, the officials and the prince dare not intervene, if they intervene rashly, I am afraid that things will end even worse."
Yin Zhige's face sank, there is some truth in this, but in this case, it is better to be decisive.
"Immediately notify King Yan and deal with this matter as soon as possible, otherwise, let him receive the punishment himself!"
"With his prestige on the frontier, I believe he can do this little thing well."
When Yin Zhige's words were sent to the frontier, the officials in the frontier looked at each other, for fear that they were not doing a good job of provoking the crime of killing their heads.
King Yan couldn't cry or laugh even more, this Yin Zhige really gave the order to die.
But there was no way, the king wanted the minister to die, the minister had to die, and King Yan had to bite the bullet.
He gathered the people of the frontier together, and saw King Yan standing on a high platform, looking down on the people below.
These people have suffered from the war, and they are not as spiritual as the people in the capital, but they are simple.
King Yan thought for a while, cleared his throat and opened his mouth loudly.
"I already know everything about the past few days, not only I know, but the emperor of the capital also knows."
The people were silent, thinking that King Yan was going to punish them.
"You've lived here for generations, and you don't need to say it, you know what the conditions are like here.
Barren, war-torn and many of you have lived here for most of your lives.
But think about it, you have a great deal of children and grandchildren, and will they suffer like you? ”
The people below didn't speak, and looked at King Yan quietly.
"The emperor's frontier relocation plan has only one purpose, and that is to make you no longer suffer."
King Yan paused and sighed, "You are his people, the emperor loves the people like sons, how can he watch you suffer like this!" ”
A voice suddenly came from among the people: "The current emperor, is it really as good as you said?" ”
"It's just, we haven't seen him, we don't know anything." Someone chimed in.
"That's natural, the emperor is now in the prime of life, diligent and loves the people, it can be said that he is a rare Ming Jun!"
King Yan has been here for a long time, and he is very prestigious, and since he has said so, many people have also nodded.
With Yan Wang Xiaozhi's persuasion with reason and emotion, coupled with his assurance, the people in the frontier agreed to the migration.
In this way, the Frontier Migration Program was officially implemented.
The frontier people rushed to the capital, and the road was far away, but there were officers and soldiers escorting them along the way, and there were people to deal with big and small things, and the migration was quite fast.
And Yin Zhige was also very happy after knowing that the frontier people agreed.
"This King Yan still has some ability." Yin Zhige nodded approvingly, and then looked at Xiao Dezi again.
Xiao Dezi immediately stood up, "Your Majesty, what do you command?" ”
"Tell King Yan and let them go to the place I prepared before to settle down."
He had already prepared an open space for the frontier people to start living again, and he also began to build a number of houses, so that he would not worry about not having enough to live in.
The capital is very well developed here, and they can only make a living by farming.
Yin Zhige called the new town a frontier town, which means that the people who lived here were people who had been in the frontier.
He also said that he left a thought for them, after all, it was his hometown, and it was not so easy to give up.
The frontier town is outside the capital, the distance is not very close, but it is not far, and you can ride a small donkey back and forth.
However, because the frontier people have just arrived here, they are not familiar with the place and rarely move around, so they have little contact with the people who were born and raised in the capital.
