Chapter 799: Everyone Flees East Together

It's time for Guangxi in July. The fiery sunshine scorched all corners of the Han Dynasty, making people miss those cool seasons when the spring rain or the autumn breeze was bleak in the sweaty days.

It seems that such a day is not enough to stimulate everyone's already drowsy nerves, and one day, the Xiliang branch of the "Jin Bao" published a shuddering news in the newspaper -- "A large-scale plague has broken out in the Xiliang area!" This news is indeed frightening enough! Just looking at the heart-pounding numbers in the newspaper can make people feel the wind in the dog days.

"Since the sudden outbreak of the plague for ten years, it has caused huge casualties of 1.2 million people and more than 7.3 million livestock in the seven counties of Wuwei, Jincheng, Longxi, Wudu, Hanyang, Zhangye, and Anding in the Xiliang region.

With the appearance of the first official news, all kinds of rumors began to spread wildly in the Guanzhong area, which is close to Liangguo!

"In order to ensure the safety of King Liang Liu Qian, Liang Guo decided to temporarily send troops to escort King Liang to Jin Kingdom to escape the plague!"

"The vast Heavenly Master taught all the divine envoys to go to the plague land to exorcise evil spirits, and most of them died, and the plague seems to give no face!"

Just when everyone was still skeptical of these rumors, a large number of panicked refugees suddenly poured out from the territory of Liangguo, and they did not dare to go back to the Guanzhong region to flee frantically in the direction of the Jin Kingdom, and it seemed that if they ran a little slower, they would be chased by the devil frantically.

"The plague is coming!

Suddenly, there were people screaming so wildly everywhere in the Guanzhong area.

As a result, millions of people who had been living in the Guanzhong Plain began to migrate eastward on a large scale, for fear that after walking a little more, the whole family would die in the Lang tide of the outbreak of the great plague.

"Jin Bao" is the first mouthpiece controlled by Zhao Xing, and the Xiliang branch of "Jin Bao" is directly under the management of Jia Xu. Obviously, by July, Liangguo had completely controlled the plague, and even the data reported by the epidemic reconnaissance stations in various places reflected that the plague had come to an end.

Obviously, there were only 3,000 deaths, but the data published in the newspaper was as high as 1.2 million people, and you need to know that the population of the entire Xiliang is only more than 2 million, and this guy was "killed" by half, it's too good, right?

Jia Xu wants this exaggerated effect, otherwise, how can it scare everyone in the entire Guanzhong region to talk about the plague, and every household is busy migrating eastward?

Due to the armistice agreement signed with the imperial court, it was inconvenient for the Jin State to openly take people from the most densely populated Guanzhong region, but no one stipulated that the common people were not allowed to move to the common people themselves, right?

It seems that it has been discussed a long time ago, and not long after Xiliang blew up the shocking scandal, the Central News Agency of "Jin Daily" published a signed article "Green Life Channel" by Zhao Xing, King of Pingxi The article focuses on the large-scale plague outbreak in the Xiliang area, and calls on all the soldiers and civilians of the Jin State to treat all the people in Guanzhong who have fled into the territory of the Jin State, and work together to open up a green life channel for the refugees to go straight to the territory of Youzhou.

The call of the king of Pingxi is actually a silent order. Soon after Zhao Xing's article was published, a touching scenery appeared on the highway from Diaoyin City north of Guanzhong to Gaonu, then to Jinyang of the Jin Kingdom, and then to Yuyang County of Youzhou. Many people of the Jin Kingdom wore masks, held food, cold water, and watermelons and waited on both sides of the road, offering help to the fleeing people, and then loudly told the fleeing Guanzhong people: "Fellow countrymen, don't look back, go to the east, there are many officials there who will settle you well!"

So, an even more strange scene happened.

While a large number of Guanzhong people who fled east through Tongguan to Luoyang and southeast through Qingni Pass to Nanyang were mercilessly stopped by the officers and soldiers stationed in these two places, the people who fled north to Shangjun were treated as if they were at home, not only could they eat free meals along the road and live in temporary refugee settlements, but also the army opened the road in front and accompanied them on both sides of the refugee contingent to protect everyone.

In the whole process of refugee migration, there was no such thing as robbery, murder, stampede and other evil incidents, under the protection of the wolf-like army of the Jin State, the people of Guanzhong seemed to be on a long-distance trip with their families, not only relaxed, but also received a lot of free funding from the people along the way.

King Pingxi seemed to feel that even if he did this, it was not enough to express his broad mind that worried about the world, so he once again issued a document calling on the merchants of Youzhou and Jizhou to organize and find a way to quickly settle down and get rich for the large number of Guanzhong refugees who quickly poured into the two places.

The large and small chambers of commerce in Youzhou and Jizhou saw that the "super boss" Pingxi Wang spoke again, and everyone finally waited for a great opportunity to repay Pingxi Wang, so everyone waited early outside Yuyang City, the end point of the refugee's trip, holding a big "advertisement" sign in their hands, straightening their throats and shouting: "Fellow villagers, come and sign up, Zhao's farm development plan in the Northeast is still short of 1,000 strong laborers, and the annual wage is twice that of the mainland!"

"He Ji Farm Tools Workshop recruits craftsmen, the Great Northeast is full of gold, and Zhao Zhenbang, the eldest son of the King of Pingxi, personally presided over everyone to mine, and the salary is more than three times that of the mainland!"

Yuyang government-run coal mine has obtained the qualification certificate for mining coal in the northeast region, and now it urgently needs to recruit 30,000 miners, whose wages are four times that of the mainland, as long as you go there to work for a year, you can top your income in the mainland for four years, what are you still hesitating about!"

A very tempting recruitment plan was placed in front of the ordinary people who fled to Youzhou from the Guanzhong area, which directly made everyone dizzy and didn't know how to choose.

At this moment, a more inflammatory front-page headline on the Jin Daily, "Developing the Great Northeast, Three Years to a Well-off" was published, which made the local people who originally worked and lived in Youzhou and Jizhou feel at ease also excited.

This promise is so tempting, as long as it is a family with a little bit of hardship, who doesn't want to get rich quickly and get rid of the shackles of poor fate as soon as possible?

The most important thing is that the author of this news is Cai Wenji, the seventh wife of King Pingxi, and this is the first time that a talented woman has published an article publicly after giving birth.

Cai Meinu said very clearly in the article that in order to pray for her newborn son, she did not wait for the consent of King Pingxi, and published this good news that can benefit tens of millions of families in the "Jin Daily", hoping to provide some help to the people who are still suffering in the world.

People are equivalent to guaranteeing the well-being of their newborn son, is there anything to doubt about it?
