A plague event that occurred in July. By the end of August, it gradually calmed down, and it is said that the plague was gradually brought under control because all the damned people in the Xiliang area had died, the weather was gradually getting cooler, and the people in the neighboring areas had run out again.

Although the "Great Plague" that occurred in the western part of Liangguo was controlled, more than half of the poor people who originally lived in the Guanzhong area also fled. In the past few years, ordinary people living in the area of Zuo Fengyi, Right Fufeng and Jing Zhaoyin have been tossed by many people. First Dong Zhuo and Ma Teng fought, which caused panic; later, the Hu people living outside the Yumen Pass came to the story, stirring up the restlessness of the entire Sanqin land; and now it is a sudden outbreak of plague, which directly forces the local people to move eastward with their families, and no longer miss their homeland.

People with a little bit of brains can now see that the so-called "Xiliang Plague" is likely to be a double reed sung by Zhao Xing and Jia Xu, the purpose of which is to fool the people in the Guanzhong region to move their families to the sparsely populated Northeast region to help Zhao Xing realize his desire to completely control the Northeast.

The population of the Northeast is too small, and most of them are of different races, which is not conducive to the Han Chinese officials to control and occupy them. Because of this, Zhao Xing and Jia Xu came up with such a trick and a bit of a trick, fooling nearly half of the population in the Guanzhong area to Youzhou and Jizhou.

Judging from the statistics and reported data of the officials in charge of the population at all levels of the Jin, Youzhou, and Jizhou in the past two months, with the help of the "plague spread" incident, a total of 1.2 million people in the Guanzhong region migrated into the Jin State, and then went to Youzhou and Jizhou from the "life channel" specially opened up within the Jin State.

Of course, when the people of Guanzhong passed through the Jin Kingdom, they did not all move to the east, but about 200,000 people finally chose to stay in the sparsely populated counties such as Shangjun and Xihe County of the Jin Kingdom. These people will eventually be absorbed by local farms and various handicraft workshops, so that they will not end up with a homeless and unemployed position.

Some of the one million people who went to Youzhou and Jizhou to avoid the disaster planned to return to their hometowns after hearing that the plague in Xiliang had subsided, but they were somewhat depressed to find that the former "passage of life" had been closed. The officers and soldiers guarding the passes and intersections politely told everyone that although the plague has subsided temporarily, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not break out again, and for the safety of the Jin Kingdom and everyone, now all the roads leading to the west have been blocked, and people can move eastward, but they must not go west.

Since there was no hope of going west, and all kinds of advertisements for the large-scale development of the Northeast were in full swing in various places, many families moved their minds and went to the immigration offices set up by the local government offices on the main transportation routes to sign up with the officials to participate in the "Northeast Development" plan.

After repeated revisions and demonstrations, Chen Gong also secretly sent personnel to communicate with Zhang Xiu and others to make sure that the conditions promised by the government to the immigrants could be realized.

It is clear from the "Instructions for Immigration" that if the family moves to the northeast, the Jin State Agricultural, Soldier, Commercial and Financial Bank will provide a one-time settlement fee, and the specific amount will be verified according to the actual population of a family and the place where it intends to go. However, these have detailed calculation methods, and there is absolutely no mention of black-box operation.

In addition to the settling-in allowance, residents in the northeast can get a piece of land that is much larger than the mainland, and although the land is owned by the government, the right to operate it is for 70 years. As long as the land allocated to the northeast is barren and idle, the government will let the family retain the right to operate.

What's even more exciting is that, according to the "Immigration Notice", there are large areas of uncultivated black soil in the Northeast, which is extremely fertile, and as long as the seeds are sown, you can almost sleep until autumn and wait for a bumper harvest. There are some ownerless wastelands on the periphery of the land allocated to each family, as long as they are reclaimed by people, not counting the area, and given to the pioneers to cultivate together, the period is still as long as 70 years!

In addition to these two very attractive conditions, the government also formally promised that all people who moved to the northeast would enjoy more generous benefits than those in the mainland in terms of children's education and medical security, and could also apply for meritorious service to the Jin state according to the size of their contributions. Once a family or someone has accumulated a certain level of merit, then the family will have the opportunity to live in Crouching Tiger City and become permanent residents of Crouching Tiger City!

In the face of such favorable conditions, not only the people who fled in Guanzhong were greatly moved, but even many poor households in Jizhou and Youzhou enthusiastically signed up, and by the end of August, the total number of people who were interested in going to the northeast region had reached 1 million.

Among these million people, 700,000 are Guanzhong people, 200,000 are Youzhou people, and 100,000 are Jizhou people. A total of 1.2 million people migrated from the Guanzhong area, leaving 200,000 people behind when passing through the Jin Kingdom, 100,000 people in Youzhou, and 200,000 people who chose to settle in the Sanhan region by boat from Quanzhou City!

After Zhao Xing received the report on the entire resettlement situation, he couldn't close his mouth with joy. Although the northeast region has not yet completely fallen into his hands, the Karasuma and Xianbei people who have been completely wiped out have given up a large area of open space in the Raoleshui and Wuhouqin River valleys, which is enough to accommodate many people, not to mention that the vast area from Tongliao to Changchun is still only a small number of people living and living in these areas, and these areas are also enough to accommodate many people to live and settle.

Perhaps in the eyes of some people, Zhao Xing's deception to force millions of people in Guanzhong to move away from each other is really a very inauthentic or even inhumane thing, but Zhao Xing doesn't think so at all.

Historically, the Guanzhong region, before Dong Zhuo's rebellion in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, was second only to the Luoyang region in terms of densely populated land. The appearance of Zhao Xing in this life made Dong Zhuo completely devoid of the opportunity to trouble Luoyang and Chang'an, and Zhao Xing tried his best to prevent and resist the plague during the period of merging states, ensuring the peace and stability of the Guanzhong region, so the population of Guanzhong has swelled dramatically over the years, and it has reached a base that may have a destructive impact on the environment.

With such a large population and a rapidly increasing population, if you don't find a way to move to other places, you will inevitably have food crises or environmental degradation in the future.

Most of the people in Guanzhong who are willing to move are poor families who do not have much family property and land, Zhao Xing tried his best to arrange such a place for everyone, although it may be a little cold in winter, but he really didn't want to harm everyone. In the northeast, there are open-pit coal mines, and in winter, let everyone burn the kang for heating?

Zhao Xing now feels guilty that he did not fool the people of Guanzhong to go to the Northeast, he still feels that the population moving to the Northeast is not enough, and it will take more than ten years to achieve the goal of the great development of the Northeast.
