Chapter 275: Placement
Hundreds of people don't seem to be much, but eating, drinking, pulling and withdrawing are all a thing, not only to support them, but also to guard against them, the key is that there is still a steady stream of Chu people to vote, Xie Jinyan couldn't resist this, and hurriedly submitted a report to Xijing, how to settle these Chu people, you have to let the adults in Xijing take a charter out, he only raises the army here, not idlers.
This matter was very important, Ling Han discussed with the courtiers for a few days, and quickly worked out a set of plans for the resettlement of Chu Min. People must not be put back to the Chu State, and if they are put back, not to mention that most of them are a dead end, it is not good for Western Chu itself, and it will not become a joke to say that the two Chu families are here. But it can't be raised in vain, and it is impossible to keep them in the Beauty Pass, God knows if there are any spies of the Chu State in it.
Therefore, Xichu decided to send these Chu people to the border area between Tonghua Prefecture and Yuedi, let them open up wasteland and build roads, temporarily exchange work for food, and after a year, they can be entered into Xichu's household registration, and choose land to build a residence in the border area, and at the same time, each family can get a few acres of land to make a living, as for how many acres they can get, it depends on how much wasteland they can open.
This idea is quite good, Tonghua Prefecture is a large grain producer of Western Chu, just because in the early years, Western Chu and Yue Guo did not fight less, resulting in a large area of land at the junction of the land is deserted, has not been able to re-cultivate, it is a pity, now the Yue country has become the Yue land, Tonghua Prefecture is also planning to open up the wasteland, the development of that large piece of land, but here has just made a plan, just waiting for the conscription of the people to do a big job, and then met the West Chu under the conscription order, although the reclamation is very important, but the conscription order, but only give way.
Unable to recruit a sufficient number of young and strong people, although the reclamation plan of Tonghua Prefecture was not stranded, the progress was also very slow. At this time, Xijing sent Chu Min to them, which was in line with Tonghua Prefecture's intentions, as for sending additional people to keep an eye on these Chu people, not allowing them to leave Tonghua Prefecture privately, and dividing some of the fields after the land was cleared to settle these Chu people, it was a trivial matter.
Another major event is to build roads, seeing that the status of Yuedi is becoming more and more important with the sea trade, a lot of sea materials to be transported to Xijing, a smooth road is necessary. But the terrain of the land is destined to be difficult to build roads, and if you want to build a smooth avenue, it is unimaginable with manpower, material and financial resources. The arrival of the Chu people has expanded the manpower, not to mention, the key is that it must be much easier to use than the conscription of people, and these Chu people are definitely willing to work hard in order to gain a foothold in Western Chu.
It's just that this method is proper for Xichu, but not for Yuedi, Xichu has not been able to defeat Yueguo, to a large extent, it is relying on geographical advantages, once the avenue is built, Xichu wants to fight Yuedi, it is simply a long drive straight in.
Mrs. Yue Guo was not happy, she secretly wanted to sabotage, and privately borrowed someone from Xie Jinyan, her own manpower had recently been stared at by Princess Han, and there was really no way to use it. Xie Jinyan didn't borrow it, but after knowing Mrs. Yueguo's plan, he directly gave her four words: and look at the long term.
Although building the road will make Yuedi lose its natural barrier, on the other hand, Xichu has also opened its door to Yuedi, and the interests of sea trade are so big, how can a small Yuedi be swallowed, and the entire Xichu must be accommodated. Not only the entire Western Chu, as long as the Western Chu Emperor has an enterprising heart, it is not impossible for the whole world. Mrs. Yue Guo only stared at a small Yue Di, and her vision was too short-sighted.
I don't know if Mrs. Yue Guo understood Xie Jinyan's meaning, but she didn't see any more movements, Xie Jinyan concentrated on guarding the beauty pass, resisting the small-scale attacks of the Chu army every once in a while, and secretly collecting the Chu people through various channels, and in just one month, thousands of people were sent to Tonghua Prefecture.
It's just that the good times don't last long, and the border army of Chu is not blind, if you don't know that thousands of people have run, then you can simply apologize and commit suicide. It can only be said that Chu Min, who ran out in the first few days, really succeeded in sneaking away, and when he ran out later, he was really mixed with spies and deliberately let go by the border army of Chu State.
It's just that Chu Guo didn't know that Xie Jinyan had Fengyi's secret guards around him, not to mention that all of them were sharp-eyed, so he definitely had his own set of ways to deal with spies, and the Chu people sent out by Xie Jinyan had to let Fengyi's secret guards at least be swept up three times, basically, ninety percent of the spies could be swept out.
Later, the border people of Chu State found that this method did not work, so they changed their course and strictly forbade Chu people to sneak away. Under the bloody suppression, the people of Chu were even more resentful, but there were few who dared to sneak away.
Xie Jinyan saw that this was not good, so he simply went out of the customs to invite the battle, and on this side he fought a few battles with the Chu army, and on the other side, he sent people to encourage Chu Min to take this opportunity to run quickly, and running into the beauty pass is victory.
After the generals of the Chu army found out that they had been fooled, they didn't mention how they were like thunder, and the topic turned back to Xijing, which was already a solemn atmosphere. There is no other reason, as Zheng Hou and others analyzed earlier, Wu Guo ...... Cleared.
In fact, as early as half a month ago, the Qin State Iron Cavalry broke through the Wu State Guard, in this half a month, it was really invincible in the whole Wu State, at least half of it has been abolished, many of the Wu families, either became the sword ghost of the Qin State Iron Cavalry, or they saw the opportunity early, and fled to the sea by boat, and the intelligence of Western Chu is that there is a family family who fled by boat, encountered wind and waves at sea, the boat capsized, and a boatload of people died seventy-seven eighty-eight, only a few were lucky, met the Qingwu and was rescued.
Then, the news of the destruction of the Wu State was sent to Xijing by Mrs. Yue Guo along with these rescued children of the Wu family.
The news spread faster than people, and when Ling Han received the news, those few children of the Wu family were still on the road, and it was really difficult to walk on the road.
"Wu Guo is finished."
After going down to the court, Ling Han came to Hanguang Palace, and sighed with emotion, remembering that he was scolded by Emperor Wu angrily, as if it was still yesterday, but now the State of Wu is over, and the century-old foundation has collapsed all of a sudden.
Gu Fengxun said indifferently: "As expected, you don't pity the people, why do the people think that it will be capsized overnight." ”
Do you really think that the flood was only flooded by the Qin State Iron Horse? No, there is also Wu Guoxin. No matter how Emperor Wu quibbles afterwards, there are always people who have eyes. Especially those families who ran away early when they saw the opportunity, these family children are certainly the culprits that led to Wu Guo's advocating extravagance, but they are also the mainstay of Wu Guo, they ran first, and Wu Guo himself collapsed half first, even if Emperor Wu has the means, it will be difficult to turn the tide, which is doomed.
Ling Han was silent for a long time, then nodded, "I should take this as a warning. "He won't make the same mistakes as Emperor Wu.
Gu Fengxun glanced at him and smiled dumbly, even if he didn't take it as a warning, Ling Han would not make the same mistake as Emperor Wu, this is nature and principle. Ling Han was a very principled Emperor Renming.
"How did Your Majesty discuss this matter with the courtiers?"
With Gu Fengxun's rank and official position, he is now qualified enough to stand in the Chengtian Palace, but this period of time coincides with the change of seasons, the weather is cloudy and sunny, cold and hot, and the wind is strong, Ling Han was worried that his body could not stand it, so he directly took the initiative to approve Gu Fengxun for half a month's sick leave, exempting him from the early dynasty, and the affairs of Hongwen Pavilion were all thrown to Fang Yinzhi, and the affairs of Zongzheng Temple, Gu Fengxun had already straightened out, and he only needed to listen to people's reports every day, so he spent most of the day recuperating in the Hanguang Palace, and he didn't know what was going on.
Ling Han snorted and said, "What else can be discussed, it's nothing more than the old set of arguments that have been reconciled with Qin, but I don't dare to mention it openly, and I am persuaded to turn around." I don't understand, they can't think of anything else in their heads? ”
Gu Fengxun chuckled and said: "This is Your Majesty's own knot, and he doesn't tell anyone, how can it be so strange that the courtiers can't think of a good way, that is a good way, according to the minister's opinion, it's not enough to repair it, it's better to marry." ”
Ling Han's eyes immediately widened, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
