"Woo-"

"The train is coming!"

"Hurry! Bring your stuff well. ”

"Mother-in-law! Hurry up and bring your stuff! ”

When Chang Ping stopped releasing grain, and when it was rumored within the Ming Dynasty that the official migration was about to be terminated, many people were finally a little scared.

Fengyang Railway Station in Fengyang Prefecture is already crowded with people at the moment, whether it is inside or outside the station, in short, the crowd is probably no less than 10,000 people.

The reason why they are in such a hurry is because the imperial court only gave them half a year, more than half a year, and all the cost of relocation needs to be paid by the people out of their own pockets.

Everyone wanted to get to the relocation site before June, because at least then they would be able to get the ploughing oxen and tractors issued by the imperial court, as well as ten stone of grain per person.

Grain, the word is a very high luxury for the people north of the Yellow River.

If the change in the migration policy only makes the people uncertain about their future life, then the price of food is the whip that drives them away in reality.

As the time entered the twentieth year of the Apocalypse, without the coordination of the imperial court, the grain prices in the provinces north of the Yellow River skyrocketed.

By the twelfth day of the first month, the price of rice in the five prefectures and two prefectures of Nanzhili and Jiangbei was 12 wen per catty of rice, which was double the price on the original basis compared with the first month of last year.

In addition, the price of grain per catty in Shandong, Shanxi, Beizhili, Liaodong, Shaanxi, and Hexi provinces has also risen by two to eight cents.

For places where the average wage is between fifteen and thirty wen, the price of rice at seven to fourteen wen is hopeless.

Such desperation, coupled with the imminent halt of the relocation policy, naturally made many people who were already poor begin to panic.

Luckily, they had already grabbed their train tickets and started riding to the migrate.

If you're unlucky, like the people right now, you can only wait for that precious ticket in the cold.

In the cold, there are countless train stations like Fengyang, and the migration entrances that were once sparse are now crowded with people, all holding migration tokens, waiting for them to be summoned.

Unfortunately, they didn't wait for the train to arrive, but they waited for the heavy rain first.

"It's raining!"

"Shelter from the rain first, shelter from the rain first......"

All of a sudden, Fengyang Railway Station has become a sea of people and a world of umbrellas.

The spring rain did not make many people happy, as most of them had already sold their fields to the government in exchange for migration tokens.

Looking at the rain and feeling the biting cold wind, this heavy rain at this moment only makes people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts.

On the square of Fengyang Railway Station, I saw that it was either a human head or an umbrella, and it was not an umbrella or a human head.

Everyone was dressed in small cotton clothes, carrying large bags of small things in their hands, and holding migration tokens in their hands, even if they heard the call, they had to squeeze into the waiting room with great difficulty.

Those who have not been summoned outside are as anxious as ants on a hot pot, and their eyes are full of longing.

But even the waiting room is crowded at the moment.

The corners, seats, and roads were full of people, some optimistic, some sighing, and some looking at the heavy rain and shouting that it was unfair.

At the top of the staircase were some peasant households, who sat on the cold ground and sighed incessantly:

"Alas, why didn't this rain come down earlier, but it didn't fall until we sold the fields......"

"Jingle bell—"

At this moment, the bell rang out in the waiting room, which meant that the next train was about to arrive, and the people in line immediately regained hope and poured into the ticket gates.

Looking at this scene, there was a father and son in the queue outside the waiting room, the son looked like he was only three or four years old, they didn't bring an umbrella, and the son's round eyes were still stained with rain, he snuggled up in his father's clothes, showing his little head, and looked at everything that happened in the waiting room.

The father wrapped his clothes tightly so that his son would not get cold.

His arms were warm, but his son, who was already tired, had a dreaded look, and his upper and lower eyelids kept fighting, but he still asked ignorantly:

"Dad, how long are we going to go?"

In the face of his son's inquiry, the man looked at the iron card in his hand, as well as the crowd in front of him, and could only say helplessly:

"I don't know...... Baby, be patient, we still have a long way to go......"

"Woo-"

"Jingle ......"

"It's Yumen Town Railway Station in front, let's get ready to get off!"

When the whistle sounded again, it was no longer Fengyang Station at this moment, but outside Jiayu Pass, thousands of miles away.

After many days of porridge, the victims of the disaster who were crowded in the car have recovered some of their spirits and spirits.

Hearing the flight attendant's voice, a man in boots also removed the book that was covering his face.

When that face was revealed, it was Sun Kewang who changed into a regular uniform.

"My lord, this cart of people will go to Shanshan County with us, I don't know if Yumen Town has prepared enough camels and carriages."

"It's bad if you don't have a carriage and a camel."

When Sun Kewang took down the book, the two attendants sitting opposite him were also worried.

"Don't worry, the national dynasty has transported almost all the horses and camels slaughtered by the mainland officialdom to Hexi this year, we came quite early, and there should be enough horses and camel carts."

"Let's go, let's get off......"

Sun Kewang got up, and all the victims in the carriage got up.

They are victims of the disaster in Shanxi, and the reason why they care so much about Sun Kewang's actions is because during these seven or eight days of car ride, Sun Kewang often discussed the difficulties of the people with them.

Later, he said that he was the county magistrate of Shanshan County, and if the people were willing to go with him, then even if there were not as many acres of cooked land as there were 20 acres to give them, he would find a way to get a machine and take them to gain a foothold in Shanshan County.

Sun Kewang's sincerity soon moved the people of this train, and a full 867 people were willing to follow him to Shanshan County.

However, he had to prove his official status first.

"Sun Zhi County ......"

When the train arrived at Yumen Town, a hundred miles outside Jiayu Pass, Sun Kewang got off the train with the people's bags.

It took a quarter of an hour, and when everyone got off the train and walked out of the train station, it was a very lively scene at the entrance of the train station.

Tens of thousands of people were receiving supplies, black pressed supplies and black pressed crowds, as well as horses, donkeys, mules and camels neighing in the distance.

This scene, coupled with the vast and majestic scenery of the northwest, suddenly made many people living in Shanxi feel refreshed.

Especially when they left the train station, an official in official uniform also greeted them and saluted Sun Kewang.

This scene made all the people who wanted to follow Sun Kewang to Shanshan County to settle down a lot of peace of mind.

"Li Yu, the relocation director of the Relocation Department of Yumen Town, has seen Sun Zhi County here, and the materials from Shanshan County are ready and can be extracted at any time......"

Li Yu, the young director of the Migration Division, once had a relationship with Sun Kewang, after all, Sun Kewang was also a leader among the new generation of civil officials in recent years.

"Thank you Director Li...... "Hearing that the materials were ready, Sun Kewang knew that all this was arranged by Zhu Ciran.

He took more than 800 people to the place where his supplies were located in Shanshan County, and what appeared in front of him were more than 300 large horses and more than 200 camels.

In addition to these, there were 200 tractors tied to black cloth, and sacks of grain and grain and vegetable seeds.

Sun Kewang knew the approximate number of those things at a glance, but what he cared about most was the tractor.

"The more than 800 people behind me are going to Shanshan County with me, I don't know ......" Sun Kewang wanted to communicate with Li Yu first, but Li Yu smiled and said:

"Sun Zhi County can let the people follow spontaneously, and my migration department will naturally not stop it."

"Food, water, and machinery are all here, and Sun Zhi County can set off for Shanshan County at any time."

"The nearest road is seven hundred miles northwest from Dunhuang, along the edge of the desert to Puchanghai (Lop Nur)."

"Puchanghai is huge, 100 miles long from east to west, 45 miles wide from north to south, you can replenish the water there and go southwest for 700 miles, and then you can reach Shanshan County."

"In Dunhuang, a team of cavalry and guides will be sent there to lead you to Shanshan County."

Li Yu explained some routes, and after hearing this, Sun Kewang also began to arrange for people to load the supplies.

The water and luggage were handed over to the camels, and the machines and grain were handed over to the horses.

Before leaving, Sun Kewang also asked if there was any coal in Shanshan County, and the reply was that there was a coal mining area, and it was now mined by more than 2,000 captured bandits under the supervision of the Ming army.

Li Yu's words are good news for Sun Kewang.

If there are tractors, but there is no coal, then it will be very difficult for him to manage Shanshan County well.

Now that there are tractors and coal, it is not difficult to govern Shanshan County.

Not only that, Li Yu also told Sun Kewang that Shanshan County already has more than 2,200 acres of cultivated mature land.

In other words, as long as they rush to Shanshan County before spring planting, then more than 800 of them will still be able to eat the grain they grow before autumn.

With these ripe fields and tractors, Sun Kewang was sure to move another 3,000 people to Shanshan.

For this reason, he naturally said a lot of good things to Li Yu.

However, the rules of the Relocation Division are there, and how many people Shanshan County wants to relocate does not depend on whether the relationship is hard or not, but on how much food Shanshan County produces and how many people it can feed.

At present, the more than 800 people who feed them can only be said to be barely enough, Li Yu has already calculated the favor, otherwise Sun Kewang can only take away more than 700 people.

Therefore, after knowing the conditions for the migration, Sun Kewang no longer entangled, but took the people who had been prepared, and bought more than 800 flatbreads out of his own pocket as the lunch of the team, and asked them to rush to Shanshan County immediately.

Like them, it is just a microcosm of the wave of immigration, and the real situation is in the hands of Zhu Youzhen at the moment.

"In two months, 560,000 people ......"

In the transport hall, looking at the relocation secretary who said that 566,327 people had been relocated, Zhu Youzhen was not satisfied with Zhu Ciran's policy implementation, but there was nothing to say.

"Your Highness, the people of Anxi Court have exceeded 50,000?"

Wang Chengen, who was next to him, glanced at the content of the song, but he didn't expect that under the implementation of the new policy, the speed of migration would be so fast.

"At this rate, I'm afraid that before June, the population of the Western Regions can reach 300,000, which is also a good thing."

Zhu Youzhen commented on the effect of the migration, and also said to Wang Chengen:

"After you leave work, go to the East Palace and talk to the prince, the population of the two provinces in the Western Regions does not need to be too much, three million is enough, and the gathering places are mainly Shule and Anxi."

Zhu Youzhen's attitude towards the two provinces of the Western Regions is very serious, but a heavy attitude does not mean that there must be unlimited immigration.

Later generations migrated because the Han Chinese were a local minority at the time and also needed to guard against enemies in the northwest and north.

But the problems faced by the Ming Dynasty are different, the Ming Dynasty has a technological generation gap, and the 50,000 Northern Army is enough to crush the entire Eurasian continent without considering logistics.

Not only that, on the issue of population, Lin Dan Khan took away the vast majority of herdsmen, and the remaining 100,000 Mongols in Turpan were also relocated by Zhu Youzhen.

In the current Anxi and Beiting provinces, although there are few Han people, they occupy an absolute dominant position.

Three million Han people is the number that Zhu Youzhen came up with in consideration of the productivity and the future Ming Dynasty will expand into the Hezhong region of Central Asia.

These three million Han Chinese, after the Ming conquered Central Asia in the future, had to immigrate to the local area to help the Ming consolidate local rule.

These three million people will not change the natural environment of the Western Regions and Central Asia, after all, the drying up of Lop Nur is a lesson from the past.

As long as the Central Asian region is taken, coupled with the existing territory and various minerals of the Ming Dynasty, there will basically be no scarce resources after science and technology go up, and there is no need to covet the potash ore after Lop Nur dries up.

Taking the Shule region, the Yinli River Valley in Anxi, and the Ferghana River Valley in Central Asia would be enough to raise 3 million people and 50,000 soldiers.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen also prepared to make adjustments to the number of soldiers and horses in the governor's mansions.

He asked people to open the "Da Ming Kun Yu Wan Guo Quantu", and then looked at the territory under Da Ming's eyes, and finally made an adjustment:

"The Eastern Military Governor's Office took over the defense of Liangguang, Fujian, Ryukyu, Yingzhou, and Korea."

"The Southern Military Governor's Mansion serves as the reserve of the two major supervision envoys of Xiaoxiyang and Southern Kunlun."

"The Northern Army and the Western Army remain unchanged, but the Governor's Office of the Five Armies must make troop adjustments."

"The number of soldiers in the Eastern Army was reduced to thirty battalions, the Northern Army was increased to fifty battalions, the Western Army was increased to fifty battalions, and the Southern Army remained at forty battalions."

"The number of active duty shall be kept within 700,000 and shall not be exceeded."

After Zhu Youzhen finished speaking, Wang Chengen immediately wrote it down and sent it to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

In addition, in the face of not having a few years, Zhu Youzhen also made arrangements:

"Transferred to Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan as the left and right governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion."

"Cao Wenzhao took over as the governor of the Northern Army, and He Shixian served as the governor of the Eastern Army."

Zhu Youzhen transferred his two henchmen back to the capital, although it seemed to be a high promotion, but in fact he didn't have much real power.

With the Southern Army supporting Zhu Ciran and the Western Army being conservative, Cao Wenzhao and He Shixian controlled the Northern Army and the Eastern Army, which could reduce many quarrels in the court.

Although in Zhu Youzhen's view, Cao Wenzhao and He Shixian do not have the ability to serve as the governor of the first army, if they are not allowed to take the position, then they will not have this ability in their lifetime.

People have to be tempered, Sun Yingyuan and Sun Shoufa and Cao Meng are examples of Ming Huanghuang.

Moreover, with the combat effectiveness of the Ming army, as long as Du Du does not make fatal mistakes, he can basically fight a crushing battle.

The transfer back of Man Gui and Sun Yingyuan is enough to express Zhu Youzhen's attitude.

This time, the Yanshan faction should not be so noisy, at least they have to observe the situation first.

"Daddy, we're back......"

When Zhu Youzhen finished talking about business, he saw Zhu Cihong walking in at the door with a crossbody bag.

He is now eight years old, studying at the official school next door to Baiwangfang, and is currently in the second grade.

Not surprisingly, Zhu Youzhen would take them to Qi after graduating from the fifth grade, and then receive a four-year education in Qi's style of government school.

"What did you learn today?"

Seeing Zhu Cihong returning, Zhu Youzhen smiled and spoke, and Zhu Cihong also ran to him quickly:

"I learned to ride a horse today, I got started very quickly, and other classmates were scared and cried, but I can be proficient in playing waves when I get on the horse."

"I have a talent for riding and archery." Zhu Cihong was complacent, his face full of pride.

"That's not bad, the men of the Qi Palace's mansion can't be able to ride horses." Zhu Youzhen picked him up and put him on his lap.

He looked at Zhu Cihong and couldn't help but feel a little melancholy.

He thought that Yuan Xiconcubine would give birth to a son, but it seems that God destined himself and Yuan Xiconcubine to have no son.

Zhu Youzhen was not unhappy, after all, he preferred his daughter to his son.

He was worried that Concubine Yuan Xi would have a son after Zhu Cihong and they all grew up, and it would be a little embarrassing at that time.

Although Zhu Cihong is the eldest son, he is not a son-in-law, if Yuan Xi's concubine really gives birth to a son-in-law at that time, Zhu Youzhen can only make policy adjustments.

Succession, longevity, and virtuousness......

Three options would be placed in front of him, but none of them would be chosen.

In the final analysis, these are the heir choices of the feudal system, and what Qi will do in the future is a hypocrisy.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen can't really be a hypocrisy, his hypocrisy is to weaken the monarch's power and deprive him of part of his power.

Qi will also have a cabinet in the future, and the cabinet can be changed, but the emperor cannot be changed.

The Cabinet is entrusted to the Cabinet on matters that are prone to public resentment, such as the launching of wars, the formulation of national policies, and the trial of criminal punishments.

The emperor was left to the emperor on matters that would make it easy to gain public opinion, such as ending wars, diplomatic exchanges, and governance of the people's livelihood.

In the country under the Qi State style Ming Sect vassal system, as long as the King of Qi does not have the power to abolish the county king, there is nothing wrong with the county king being an official in the Qi State.

There must be a clan in the cabinet, but it cannot occupy an absolute seat, otherwise the rule of Qi will still be based on the interests of the clan after all, and it is easy to have a policy of preying on the common people.

A six-seat cabinet, with two for the clan, two for the workers, and two for the peasants, and the emperor had decision-making power, which was enough for the next hundred years.

As for the scholars and landlords? Zhu Youzhen didn't slaughter them, and he was kind-hearted.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen squinted his eyes.

The gentry of Qi are very simple, but the gentry of the Ming Dynasty are difficult to deal with.

As for how to deal with the powerful gentry of the Ming Dynasty, history has given Zhu Youzhen an answer.

One of the most worthy of reference is the Western Han Dynasty's migration system.

The tomb system was an "effective choice" during the period of Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang established the Western Han Dynasty as the capital in Guanzhong, because the population of Guanzhong was sparse due to the war, so Liu Bang listened to Liu Jing's suggestion and ordered the six countries of the Kwantung to move a total of more than 100,000 people to Guanzhong.

After these people migrate, they can't be resettled at will, otherwise they will be the next source of turmoil if they are not careful.

In order to properly settle these people, Liu Bang ordered them to be resettled in Changling (Liu Bang's mausoleum), and built Changling County near Changling for the emigrants to live in, which is the origin of the Lingyi system.

Liu Bang relocated these powerful heroes not only to avoid their rebellion, but also to avoid their annexation of land, and naturally also put an end to the landlords from sitting big.

These powerful landlords finally managed to gain strength by annexing land and bribing officials, but with an edict from the emperor, they had to give up their hard-earned inheritance and live near the emperor's mausoleum.

This kind of policy virtually alleviated the local class contradictions, and the later emperors of the Western Han Dynasty would build mausoleums to house these migrated "rich people".

The Lingyi system, which was so conducive to rule, not only undertook the two major tasks of "strengthening the capital and weakening the branches" and "defending against the Xiongnu", but also undertook the task of easing class contradictions, preventing the landlords from becoming strong, and strengthening the centralization of power.

It can be seen that the role of the Yiling system in the early Han Dynasty was very huge and necessary.

However, the reason why the tomb migration system, which arose in a special period, a special environment and a special background, has not been inherited is that there are many drawbacks in its species.

For a dynasty and a country, a stable environment is the foundation, and the migration of people is not a policy suitable for long-term use, let alone such a large number of migrants.

For the situation in the early Western Han Dynasty, the use of immigrants to fill the number of people in the Guanzhong could achieve better defense, but this method was not applicable to every subsequent period.

The Lingyi system is regarded as transferring the land contradictions of the whole country to Guanzhong through the migration of the population, and regulating it with the help of the emperor's private property and authority.

However, with the rapid increase in the population of the dynasty, the sharp increase in the price of land, and the shortage of food products, in the end, this system could not continue to be maintained in Guanzhong, and it was natural to abolish it.

From this point of view, there are not many disadvantages of the Xiling system, but this disadvantage is for the unified dynasty under the land annexation, not for the clan system like the Ming Dynasty.

How many vassal kings were there in the Ming Dynasty?

Thirty-two ......

What about the county king?

There are already one hundred and ninety-seven.

Each vassal king represents a prefecture, and each county king represents a prefecture.

Now that the vassal kings and county kings have moved out, what if the Ming Dynasty's migration system is not aimed at the emperor, but at the vassal kings?

What happens when the vassal kings and county kings build mausoleums, and the gentry who relocate their fiefdoms go to the vassal kingdom to guard the tombs of the vassal kings and county kings?

With just one edict, nearly thirty percent of the gentry and heroes of the Ming Dynasty may be relocated overseas.

If the king of Wu and the king of Yue in the south of the Yangtze River are established, and then their domains are far away, then the gentry and heroes in the south of the Yangtze River may have to go to the border to defend the territory for the vassal king.

"Cheng En ......"

"Slaves and maids are ......"

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth suddenly, Wang Chengen bowed down to respond, and in this regard, Zhu Youzhen, who was holding Zhu Cihong, also smiled:

"Do you think that my two eldest nephews, King Yong and King Ding, are not very good? As...... Let's change it! ”
