The third year of Wu'an and the fourth year of Wu'an are destined to be the most densely populated years in the history of the Xia Dynasty.

First, there were two edicts on immigrants issued at the end of June of the third year of Wu'an, then in the second half of the year, an edict was issued to emigrate to the Liaohe River, and finally there was a plan for immigrants to Luzon organized by the government after the fourth year of the New Year.

These three large-scale government-led migrations are enough to go down in history, from Liangguang in the south to Hebei in the north, and families have also been relocated in all but those provinces designated in the edict.

This is very reasonable, after all, the provinces of Sichuan, Shaanxi, Jiaozhi and Liaohe have set up many policies to benefit the people in order to be the first to recruit more immigrants and make their achievements in the new plan be rated as high-class, which have attracted many ordinary people to relocate.

Shanxi Buzheng Division, Yongning Prefecture.

Yu Tingyi sat on the donkey cart, looking at the old mansion that was gradually moving away, his eyes showed a little reluctance, but this emotion was quickly cleaned up by him and regained his spirits.

After his father was requisitioned by the imperial court and transferred to distant Guizhou as an official, the heavy burden of life in the family was pressed on the shoulders of him and his mother, as the eldest son, he had to bear the burden of the family early, sheltering his elderly grandfather and young brothers.

Fortunately, my father's official fortune was delivered to them every month, and it was with my father's fortune that they were able to buy this donkey cart and embark on the road of family migration.

The family moved after a struggle between him and his mother, and with the consent of his grandfather, he finally decided to settle down.

Therefore, they decided to move to Sichuan, which has a preferential policy for relocation, after the imperial court issued an edict on immigration, as long as they can move to Sichuan to settle down, their family can get five acres of land per capita, the government will also rent them farm tools and cattle, and more importantly, they can also be exempted from taxes for five years.

Waiver of taxes for five years is a great blessing to a poor family like theirs.

Although Shanxi is closer to the Liaohe Political Division, which is also among the immigration destinations, Sichuan needs to be closer to Guizhou, where their father is an official, so they will choose Sichuan as their new home.

Like the vast number of people who migrated to the four provinces, their family embarked on a long journey with a beautiful vision for the future and gratitude to the imperial court.

After deciding to leave, he wrote a letter to his father in Guizhou, explaining the matter, so that his father no longer had to send money to the old house, and when they arrived at the new home, he would write again to report their safety.

……

Su Yan drafted a decree through the cabinet, requiring local governments to set up Anmin soup kitchens on the main roads within their jurisdictions to provide free food and temporary accommodation for past immigrants.

At the same time, he also ordered the provincial commanders and general troops to deploy troops to clear out the bandits in the province to ensure the safety of the lives and property of the immigrants on the way.

This is not because he is blindly worried, because in the various immigration movements launched by the Qing Dynasty at the official level, many people have fallen on the way because of the inaction of the government, the harsh environment or the threat of banditry.

For example, the notorious Xikou walk, the positive impact of the Xikou is undoubted, but batch after batch of Han people left their homeland and migrated to the NMG or the Western Regions, and the government did not do any protection measures for them, so that many people died under the butcher's knife of the wind and sand or horse bandits.

The successive decrees issued by the imperial court had an extremely remarkable effect, and the commanders and commanders of the provinces began to take action one after another, mobilizing the officers and soldiers of the prefectures, prefectures, and counties to clear the known bandits in the province.

Governments in various places also set up soup kitchens on the main transportation routes, cleared a vacant lot, and pulled up a fence to guard against wild beasts, so that passing immigrants and merchants could settle down and rest.

Therefore, for a while, some soup kitchens actually became very good

It was lively and formed a small bazaar, which became a surprise for the local government.

This was still the early days of the founding of the country, and the will of the imperial court was naturally unimpeded and thoroughly implemented.

In contrast to land-based migration, migration to Luzon is at high risk.

The journey from Liangguang and Fujian to Luzon is long and the waves are so high that if a terrible storm were encountered on the way, the entire ship could be killed.

Moreover, even if you go from Guangdong to the Liaohe River, it is still within the range of fast horses, but Luzon Island is an unfamiliar place name that most people have heard of for the first time in their lives, and it is an extremely distant and unfamiliar place for them, unless it is a last resort, who would want to go to that kind of place?

Even those who had heard of the place had learned about it from relatives who had gone to the South Seas in the early years to make a living, who had long since warned them of the dangers of going to the South Seas, and the combination of these factors made the progress of the project to Luzon very slow.

As far as the people of Liangguang and Fujian are concerned, they would rather go to the island of Taiwan, which is only separated by a sea, which is subordinate to the Fujian political department, than to go to the newly occupied island of Luzon.

In desperation, for the sake of political achievements, the government of Fujian and Guangxi could only pull out the prisoners in the prison and send them to the ship to Luzon, and those who usually worked as female offenders were also arrested and sent together.

This behavior of the government immediately shocked the common people, who were not afraid of being caught in prison or beaten with a cane, but they were afraid of being pulled onto the ships to Luzon, which in their eyes were almost equated with the death penalty.

Therefore, for a long time after that, the public order in Fujian and Guangxi was greatly improved, and with the improvement of public order, the prisoners in the prison were soon emptied, and the local government had no choice.

At first, they still wanted to forcibly recruit people, but the clans in Fujian and Guangxi were powerful, and the government could not please them, so they had to turn to their superiors to complain about their grievances.

Li Chengyi, the political envoy of Fujian, and Guo Zhiqi, the governor of Liangguang, successively presented to the imperial court, explaining the general resistance of the people in the three provinces to immigrating to Luzon, saying that they could not persuade the people of the three provinces to move to Luzon, and hoped that the imperial court would instead emigrate from the interior.

After watching the twists and turns of the two, Su Yan suddenly couldn't cry or laugh, this Li Chengyi and Guo Zhiqi are simply a model of the dead Taoist friend who does not die and the poor Tao, and directly led the "disaster water" to the heads of the inland provinces.

However, although Su Yan agreed to the request of the two of them and ordered the transfer of immigrants from Jiangxi, he also realized that the local clan forces hindered local governance, so he still strictly ordered the three provinces to transfer immigrants, and required that one out of every ten households with the same surname be transferred to move out, and if the clan collectively resisted, the garrison was allowed to be mobilized to suppress it.

The clan power of Fujian Liangguang still exists even in modern times, and although Su Yan can't eliminate it, it's still okay to knock and knock.
