"Ridiculous! Absurd! ”

As soon as Ji Ran's words fell, Wu Zixu glared at him and said with an angry face: "Immigrant? Dazai, isn't what you said a big joke in the world? ”

"The six counties of Lingnan, Minzhong County, Lujiang County, Cangwu County, Nanhai County, Xiang County, and Guilin County. Three counties in the southwest, Jiaozhi County, Qianzhong County, and Dian County! ”

Let's try it soon, everyone. 】

"How many people are in the south? There are at least a million of them! ”

"How vast is the territory? These nine southern counties occupy nearly two-thirds of the territory of my Wu country! ”

"How can you give it up? Besides, the southerners are still unruly and unruly, and if they forcibly move into the interior without authorization and rebel again, what can they do? ”

What Wu Zixu said is not unreasonable.

Whether it is the six counties in Lingnan or the three counties in the southwest, how can they easily give up the territory that Wu State has taken after paying a great price?

Even if Qingji agrees, I am afraid that those soldiers who opened up the territory for Wu and sacrificed their blood for it may not be able to agree.

They used their own swords, their own blood, and their lives to open up territory for their country, how could they see that they were easily discarded by their own king?

"Da Sima's words are wrong!"

Ji Ran said: "The three counties in the southwest, as well as the six counties in Lingnan, are full of barren land with lofty mountains and miasma, and it is extremely difficult to reclaim the land. ”

"If we can move the Li Shu there into the interior, the local population of our Wu country can be enriched, and the cultivated land in the interior will be reclaimed in large quantities, why not?"

In the final analysis, Ji Ran's proposition is also for the sake of Wu Guo.

The quickest and most effective way to tame the new Wu people in the south is to migrate them to the Wu mainland.

Just like when Qingji conquered the southwest, he moved 50,000 households of Dian people, Pu people, Ailao people, and Luo Yue people into Wu County.

The effect is remarkable!

The only remaining barren land in Wu County has been reclaimed in large quantities, creating a lot of wealth for the Wu Kingdom.

In view of this, Ji Ran will advocate immigration.

"The king, the minister thinks what Dazai said is very true!"

Kong Qiu, who has been reappointed as the right prime minister, immediately came out and said: "Instead of spending time and effort digesting the nine southern counties, it is better to relocate the people of the nine southern counties, move into the interior, reclaim wasteland, and make it open up farmland in the Jianghuai area." ”

"In this way, in less than ten years, Jiangnan will inevitably be under great governance, the people will be solid, and the ambitions will be high."

"In less than fifty years, the people of the south who have migrated will be careful to the country of Wu and be convinced!"

"Please King Mingjian!"

With Kong Qiu's speech, Zuo Cheng Prime Minister Wen Chong, Zhisu Neishi Zeng Dian and other ministers and doctors all stood up and expressed their approval.

The relocation of the population of the nine southern counties can indeed allow Wu Guo to digest these Li Shu, who were originally barbarians, to the greatest extent, and let them contract with Wu Guo as a family, regardless of each other.

But is this in line with the ultimate purpose of the celebration?

No, not really!

Whether it is the six counties of Lingnan or the three counties in the southwest, they are not the inherent territory of Wu State, nor are they the land of ancestors.

It's just that it's just that Wu Guo paid a great price, so how can Qingji give up the territory he has captured?

The ambitious Qingji even took Zhuya Island (Hainan Island), Yizhou Island (Wanwan Island), and their affiliated islands as the inherent territory of Wu.

Qingji's ambition is obvious.

Why don't the ministers of Ji Ran, Kong Qiu, and Wen Chong understand that they are knowingly committing crimes, so they have to do it against Qingji?

Definitely!

Their original intention was also to consider Qingji and Wu Guo.

After Kong Qiu spoke, Wen Chong even said: "The king, the minister remembers that the king once said, 'If you save people and lose land, people and land will survive, and if you save land and lose people, you will lose people and land'!" ”

"If you can't easily hold those territories, what's the use of Wu Guo?"

“……”

Qingji didn't speak.

At this time, Wu Zixu, Fan Li, Bo Biao and others all stood up and opposed the idea of Ji Ran, Kong Qiu and other ministers to emigrate to the void.

"Father!"

At this moment, Gongzi Hong, who had been silent, suddenly stood up, bowed to Qingji and said, "Erchen thinks that although the territory of my Wu Kingdom is large, not an inch is superfluous!" ”

"Even if it is a person, how can it be easily parted with his parents who have a skin on his body?"

"Relocating the people of the nine southern counties to the interior, although it can make the Wu State govern and gain its people's strength, but at the cost of paying a large piece of territory, the sons think it is not worth it!"

After a pause, Gongzi Honglang said: "In the past, the ancestors of my Wu Kingdom, Taibo and Zhongyong, broke their tattoos, taught the people to farm, and integrated into the land of Jingman, so thousands of small tribes voluntarily attached to Taibo!" ”

"If the ancestors can forge ahead, why can't the children and grandchildren of future generations?"

"Father! Don't say that it is a hundred years of generations, or hundreds of years, so what? ”

"My Wu country will be prosperous for thousands of generations, and it can make the society prosperous and stable for a long time, so why can't the nine southern counties contract with Wu and not distinguish each other?"

Hearing this, Qingji nodded, looked at Gongzihong with appreciation, and said with a smile: "Good! ”

"Second and third sons, this is the son of the widow, the son of Wu State!"

"The ancestors are still pioneering and enterprising, teaching the people to farm, so that the barbarians have evolved from the era of slash-and-burn cultivation to the level of civilization like the countries of the Central Plains.

"The widow is the will, the immigrant is real!"

Qingji finally made up his mind, and waved his hand: "From Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiujiang County, Hengshan County, and Hanzhong County, 100,000 households have migrated to Lingnan and Southwest Nine Counties, and they have reclaimed the border!" ”

"All those who have been relocated, a family, will be given ten horses of cloth and 50,000 yuan, and in addition, the local government needs to give all the utensils such as farm tools, ploughing cattle, land, rations, seeds, etc.!"

"Depending on the population, one person will give 100 acres of land, and it will be passed down from generation to generation!"

“……”

Nanyang County, Nan County, Jiujiang County, Hengshan County, Hanzhong County, these five counties, what was the original place?

Chudi!

Li Shu, who is now going to move to Qingji, turned out to be a person from the old place.

The 100,000 households of migrants, about 500,000 or 600,000 Li Shu, will be forced by Wu Guo from the south of the Yangtze River to the nine counties in Lingnan and southwest to reclaim and garrison the border.

It's a last resort.

If the state of Wu wants to promote the integration of various Min ethnic groups in the country as soon as possible, it must start culturally and assimilate the new Wu people in the south.

It is also indispensable for the state to give preferential treatment to the relocated Li Shu.

Although, those Li Shu turned out to be Chu people.

However, after the state of Chu was completely annexed by the state of Wu, Qingji was still able to treat them equally and give them benefits according to the treatment in the past......

Forced migration of the population, in fact, Wu has a relatively complete set of processes, not just casually "migrating".

For example, if there is a bedridden elderly person in the family, or a pregnant woman, this is not a condition of migration.

This kind of more humane migration measure has been insisted on by Wu Guo.
