"They're all lined up, one by one! Wash your bodies well before you go to eat! The best white rice, as well as the fragrant fish, you have a good life when you come to Lingnan! ”

In front of the long procession of displaced people, dozens of long wooden tables were placed under a large banyan tree, and dozens of account offices were making statistics for these displaced people one by one.

Organized by hundreds of young men armed with weapons, nearly 10,000 displaced people who had traveled long distances from Beijiang Prefecture lined up honestly, and after crossing these bookkeepers, there was a large river bay, and on both sides of the river bay were two camps of considerable size, which was a transit camp for the displaced people to Lingnan.

All the homeless people who came from other places were to be washed in the two camps according to men and women, and after entering the huge bathhouse, they slowly learned to use soap, shampoo for washing their hair, and other novelties under the supervision of the overseers.

There are even many Hermes-Epitek who were startled by their own shadow in the mirror, although the mirror has already spread in Nanchen, but after all, only the family gate valve and those wealthy landlords can have it, so the homeless people were still startled after seeing these mirrors for the first time.

After washing, the supervisor must pass the inspection before going out, and if you just wash it casually, you will be punished accordingly, not only everyone must wash their bodies and hair, but even burn all the clothes they used to wear, and then bury them deeply.

Although these clothes are worn, for many homeless people, this is the only one he has worn in the past ten years, but before these homeless people feel sorry for their shabby clothes, they are pleasantly surprised to find that their new owners have already prepared newly cut clothes.

Although these clothes are all very coarse cotton and linen spun, and some are simply made of coarse felt cloth, the new clothes are new clothes after all, and for these poor Han people, they don't know how many years they have not changed into new clothes.

These clothes, soap, mirrors and other materials were of course prepared by Wang Ze and Feng Fu, and Wang Ze accounted for the majority of them.

If you want to rely on the stingy character of those places in Nanchen Lingnan, let alone prepare these new clothes for the newcomers, they even want to get some additional benefits from the refugees in turn, how can they come up with this extra capital.

However, Wang Ze and Feng Fu understood the importance of preventing the spread of the plague, and under Feng Fu's account, although the other powerful people were also greedy for money, they also knew that once a large-scale plague broke out in Lingnan, it would easily cause large-scale casualties among the people.

Therefore, when Feng Fu came forward to get a large amount of coarse cloth, all the Haoqiang agreed to this approach.

After all, when a large number of people migrate, it is easy to cause the spread of large-scale epidemics, and their families, relatives, and friends are all here, so it is a good thing to be careful, in case there is really a plague spreading, they will not even have time to cry.

As groups of homeless people entered the camp to eat separately, and hundreds of guards who escorted them all the way also entered the camp, at this time, a man in his fifties who looked like a big shopkeeper walked in accompanied by everyone.

"Zhang Wei!" The middle-aged man who looked like a big shopkeeper said to the middle-aged man who took the lead in the guard, "How are you doing along the way?" There were no surprises, right? ”

"The big shopkeeper is good!" Zhang Wei and dozens of guards behind him saluted together, and then Zhang Wei said, "Since someone from my hometown slaughtered the village last month, this road has stopped a lot, and besides, our team has no goods, not only does no one dare to intercept the road on the road, but there are even people secretly guarding it!" ”

This big shopkeeper was Wang Biao, the big shopkeeper arranged by Wang Ze in Lingnan, and this man named Zhang Wei was undoubtedly his first batch of old team members at that time, because Wang Biao knew that Wang Ze attached great importance to Lingnan immigrants, so he sent out several of the most important helpers under his command.

Wang Biao breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this: "It's okay, the world is not peaceful now!" I heard that the fleet that walked from the Xiangshui this time was almost intercepted by Wulingman, if it weren't for the slang people arranged by Feng Taishou who were fierce enough, I'm afraid they would really be stopped, and now that our brothers are arranged there, I will worry about you all the way! ”

"Why are those barbarians suddenly intercepting these fleets?" Zhang Tao wondered, "Do they really want to rob Han people and make them slaves?" Aren't they afraid that our team will wipe them out? ”

Wang Biao glared at him, then looked around and said in a low voice: "Be careful when you talk outside, those barbarians are too powerful, our people are less to go, people are not afraid at all, not to mention that they can all run into the mountains in the blink of an eye, and even the officials and soldiers will not look at it!" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Biao looked at the team of nearly 10,000 displaced people in front of him, and then suddenly smiled: "But there are also good things, these days there is Feng Taishou in the middle of the reconciliation, all the heroes in Lingnan have already said it, everyone will distribute the number of displaced people according to the land area of each person, and Jiaozhou is the same as Guangzhou!" ”

"The big shopkeeper, this is a good thing!" Zhang Wei said excitedly, "We hold more than half of the land in Jiaozhou, and our two big plantations here in Guangzhou can also get at least 20,000 people, and at least 120,000 people will be distributed to us at that time!" 360 Literature Network

"You just know it!" Wang Biao said in a low voice, "Anyway, we only have three plantations on the surface, and they won't say anything, but if they know that most of the land in Jiaozhou is ours, not to mention those strong and powerful, I guess even Feng Taishou may not be able to help us anymore!" ”

The next day, Zhang Wei returned with his people, and he would continue to recruit a large number of displaced people to go south to Lingnan in Beijiang Prefecture, while Wang Biao took the newly arrived nearly 10,000 displaced people to the south, and then came to the Beijiang River of the Pearl River, and then boarded a boat and went downstream, until he came to one of the dozen huge camps outside Guangzhou.

As an extremely backward productive force in ancient times, the most headache for the imperial court was the displaced people caused by the famine, not only these displaced people brought chaos, but also because of the lack of food, once the disaster relief was not timely, it was easy to cause greater turmoil due to lack of food.

However, this problem does not exist in today's Lingnan Jiaotong and Guangzhou.

Thanks to the development of Lingnan, which has lasted for more than 20 years, the former wild land has become a rich land with a population of more than 1.5 million, and although the area of fertile land is only a quarter of the entire Nanchen, the grain production is more than one-third of that of Nanchen.

In addition to a large amount of grain, fishery, poultry, livestock breeding and so on have also been greatly developed, and the average living standard of the people in Lingnan has unconsciously pulled down the people of Nanchen in the Yangtze River basin, and also surprised the first-time displaced people.

The abundant grain production has made the price of grain in Lingnan extremely low, and the heroes who have always been stingy have been unexpectedly generous, so that all these newcomers can eat a full meal, and even these rice are still hulled polished rice, not the brown rice with chaff that the displaced people used to eat.

Cheap salted fish from local fishing and large quantities purchased in the East China Sea Whale County tasted good after being steamed over a large fire with a little lard, and quickly became a supreme delicacy in the eyes of the homeless.

After these poor homeless people were forced to leave their homes in the war, many of them did not taste a trace of meat for several months, and even they could not even eat enough in the past, and they have always lived on gruel, so after this meal, many people have fallen in love with this kind of dried salted fish with lard.

After having a contract guaranteed by Feng Fu, everyone distributed these homeless people according to the previous agreement, so each family will receive a certain amount of homeless people every month, so everyone is not in a hurry.

Previously, some bandits along the way were also killed by Feng Servant because of robbing the people, and Wang Ze sent weapons to exterminate them together, so some Haoqiang simply sold a favor and gave a part of the fraction directly to Feng Servant.

Of course, Feng Fu did not refuse to come to these extra laborers, and for him, the more labor force created, the more wealth he created.

It's just that in the past few days, there have often been Wuling barbarians and other barbarians in the Xiangshui Valley who have come out to plunder, and many ships have been attacked, which makes Feng Fu very annoyed in his heart, but it is impossible for him to send troops to encircle and suppress, after all, he still has to abide by Nan Chen's laws.

Soon, Feng Fu received support from the Second Fleet arranged by Wang Ze in the secret base in Qiongzhou, and a large number of crossbow arrows, fire oil bombs, Zheng's rockets, rain flying rockets, thunderbolts and other weapons were all placed in the ships transporting the displaced people on the Hunan River.

So in the following time, many groups of Wulingman who tried to attack the fleet were caught off guard, and the fleet was not cut off, but was also counterattacked by the soldiers arranged by Feng Fu on the fleet, and even destroyed several large villages, and since then the water transportation on the Hunan River has finally quieted down again.

Compared with the route from Huangcheng to Nankang County along the Ganshui River, Feng Fu, Wang Biao and others paid more attention to the Xiangshui immigration route, because from Xiangshui you can enter the Li River along the Ling Canal, and then go all the way to Guangzhou, which is a more convenient transportation in the inconvenient Southern Dynasty.

In this way, when Nanchen Junchen was indulging in his own small world, hundreds of thousands of Han people unknowingly entered Lingnan along several river systems, completing a rare large-scale population migration, the impact of this migration was incomparable, and it was even called the key factor in the rise of Lingnan by later historians.

In this planned and premeditated wave of immigration, a total of more than 500,000 people came to Guangzhou and Jiaozhou in Lingnan, and not only the displaced Han people in the Lianghuai region in the north of the Yangtze River, but even the Han people who were not living well in some places in the south of the Yangtze River also followed these displaced people to the south.

Of the more than 500,000 displaced people, nearly 300,000 stayed in Guangzhou, while the other more than 200,000 went to Jiaozhou, and most of the more than 200,000 people entered the plantations controlled by Wang Ze, so the plantations that Wang Ze secretly arranged in Nanchen unknowingly controlled nearly 400,000 people.

Compared with the three concentrations of displaced people in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, Jiangyin County is the closest to Jiankang, so it is not easy for the people here to go to Lingnan through Jiankang blatantly.

As a result, the people here were transferred to the Zhoushan Islands in the east of Huiji County, and then continued south to Jiaozhou and Guangzhou, and some of them were transported to the islands of the Nanyang, further enriching the number of Han people in various parts of the Nanyang.
