Chapter 280: Migration of 500,000 people
Ouyang's plan to emigrate and relocate people to Qingbei was finally approved by the Minister of National Defense.
With the current national strength of the Tang Empire, it is very difficult to feed nearly 100 million people. The land nominally belonged to the state and the government, but the real situation was that the vast majority of the land was occupied by large landowners and wealthy families.
There are too many people in the Tang Dynasty who have lost land and have little land, and the day is precarious!
Soon.
Under Ouyang's multi-faceted operation, the plan to migrate the population was successfully implemented.
The first batch of people who followed Ouyang into Qingbei was as many as 20,000 people, and the No. 5 pier in Yujing City was crowded.
Subsequent population migrations will also continue.
It is estimated that 500,000 people living below the poverty line will enter Qingbei and settle down.
"When we go to Qingbei, the government will give us land and jobs, but it is said that Qingbei is not safe now!" A young man in his 30s stood on a cargo ship, frowning.
"Safe?"
At that moment, an elderly man retorted: "Yujing City is safe, but can we survive?" San'er, don't you want to think about how your son died? ”
Hearing this, the young man in his 30s fell silent.
How did his son die?
They were starved to death!
"San'er, Qingbei is indeed a big war, but the various departments of our Tang Army in Qingbei are very powerful, didn't the newspaper say it a few days ago, good guys, more than 30,000 people of the Frost Army were killed and wounded in 70 hours, there is such a mighty people's army, what else do we have to scruple about!"
The old man said in a loud voice.
The young man immediately nodded vigorously.
The reason why they are willing to leave Yujing City and go to Qingbei is that they can share land and job opportunities; Second, isn't it because Ouyang's army can fight well, an army of tens of thousands of people has defeated the frost army of more than 100,000 people, and there is no temper.
At this moment, Ouyang, Xu Tian, and Lei Zhan, as well as the soldiers of the Thor Commando Team who came with Ouyang, were constantly combing through the congested crowd on the dock.
But.
What Ouyang didn't know was that on a watchtower on the dock, Ran Ciyan and a tall female second lieutenant officer were watching below.
"Deputy Minister, Brigade Commander Ou, oh no, it's Division Commander Ou now. As far as I know, he was born in an ordinary family, and he has only been in the army for 2 years, where did he get so much money? ”
The female second lieutenant frowned and said: "According to calculations, the transportation cost of the first batch of 20,000 people alone will cost at least hundreds of thousands, not to mention the migration of 500,000 people, plus food, logistical supplies, and the minimum living supply after arriving in Qingbei, the money required is definitely a sky-high price!" ”
The female lieutenant is not surprised, the migration population is not something that anyone can do, it is too expensive.
Hearing this, Ran Ciyan's eyes narrowed and she laughed.
"Deputy Minister, am I not right?" The female ensign asked curiously.
"Huh!"
Ran Ciyan nodded and smiled: "You're right, migrating a population of 500,000 does cost a lot of unbelievable amount of money, but what you don't know is that he Ouyang is not short of money, and he can even be said to be very rich!" ”
"Oh?"
The female ensign frowned slightly.
"Have you ever heard of the Shanhe Party?" Ran Ciyan turned her head and asked.
The Shanhe Party?
The female ensign shook her head, "Deputy Minister, do we have this political party in the Tang Empire?" ”
"Absolutely!" Ran Ciyan pointed to Ouyang in the far distance below, and said: "The Shanhe Party is the political party founded by Ouyang, don't look at the official establishment of less than one year, but the newly-born Shanhe Party is already the sixth largest political party in Qingchuan Province, occupying 30 seats in the Qingchuan Provincial Assembly. ”
"This, this, this~~~!"
The female ensign had a look of disbelief on her face.
Ran Ciyan added: "As far as I know, the number of party members of the Shanhe Party has exceeded 5,000, covering the army, schools, commercial companies, and so on. Moreover, Cai Million, the richest man in Qingbei, Huang Hao, the king of water transportation in Qingchuan Province, and many other wealthy people are all members of the Shanhe Party. ”
After a pause, he said, "Do you still think that he Ouyang is short of money now?" ”
The female ensign nodded heavily, "I see." ”
Not short of money?
It's just a joke!
In fact, Ouyang is very short of money, the soldiers' military salaries, daily food supply, army weapons and equipment upgrades, local people's livelihood construction, infrastructure facilities, etc., which one does not cost money?
Counting on the supply in the center of the empire, Ouyang's army would have starved to death long ago!
Cai Million, Huang Hao and other members of the Shanhe Party are rich, yes, but can they drain other people's funds for no reason?
No, I can't!
This kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs, Ouyang can't do it.
Even if that day really comes, this kind of thing of killing chickens and taking eggs must not be done, otherwise the newborn Shanhe Party will collapse without waiting for others to attack!
In the Great Collapse Plan of the Lanlong Kingdom, the 500 million yuan that Ouyang and Friedman secretly withheld has now spent most of it!
Politics, economy, and military, which one is not a money-burning thing?
"Deputy Minister, the population of 500,000 has entered Qingbei, which means that there are many more people who will join Ouyang's army, as far as I know, Commander Ouyang is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, this is definitely a hidden danger for the empire!"
The female ensign said again.
Without a population, where are the soldiers?
"Alas~~~!"
Ran Ciyan sighed, "You're right, but those people living in the central region of the empire, we can't watch them starve to death. ”
Starve?
What a heavy word!
Ran Ciyan continued: "And for now, the empire also needs Ouyang to be strong, after all, the hundreds of thousands of frost troops in Qingbei are not a joke, and the ambitious Huangfu Longma has to be guarded against!" ”
The female ensign nodded in agreement.
Looking at the current Qingbei, only Ouyang has the ability to contain the Frost Army and Huangfu Longma!
"But, it's ~~~!"
The female ensign was about to say more, but was interrupted by Ran Ciyan.
"Okay, I know what you're going to say, the empire needs to drive the tiger and devour the wolf now, but I'm afraid that this tiger will be raised and breed more ambitions."
Ran Ciyan pointed at Ouyang below with his finger, playing with the taste: "So, I have to knock this young tiger that has not grown up from time to time, and I have to put shackles on him." ”
"The deputy minister is wise!" The female ensign saluted, admiration from the heart.
After saying this, Ran Ciyan did not continue to speak, causing a long silence on the watchtower.
"That's right!"
After a long time, Ran Ciyan broke the silence with her mouth open, and stared at the tall female second lieutenant with a smile on her face, "If I let you go to Qingbeidang's eyes to stare at this tiger cub, are you willing?" ”
"Willing to do it!" The female ensign nodded.
"Then if I asked you to be the woman of this tiger cub, would you still be willing?"
Hearing this, the female ensign hesitated for a few seconds before agreeing.
~~~~~
A few days later.
The first batch of 20,000 migrants took many merchant ships and went up the Jiaolong River and entered the boundary of Qingchuan Province.
Lei Zhan stood at the bow of the boat and said respectfully to Ouyang: "Brigade commander, do you think Huangfu Longma will be blown up now?" ”
"Oh?" Ouyang couldn't help laughing and said: "I don't know if he will be angry, but I know one thing, he will not stop our more than 20,000 people from entering Qingbei." ”
Don't Huangfu Ryoma want a population?
Of course he wants to!
Because the population represents the source of the army. For the ambitious Huangfu Ryoma, of course, the more the better.
But.
He would never dare to swallow this group of people, because he could not resettle it.
There are many fertile fields in Qingzhong and Qingnan, but these fertile fields are in the hands of big landlords and big chaebols, and he still has to rely on and rely on these people, and he definitely does not dare to do anything to dig his own grave.
