Chapter 920: Replenishing the Troop Source

After this snow disaster, almost all the people's homes were hollowed out, and the Great Yan Dynasty was already in crisis.

Today's Great Yan is surrounded by strong enemies, and there are homeless people inside, which is the real internal and external troubles.

This is a dynasty that is already terminally ill, and it is only because of a Jingyang Emperor that it has injected a little vitality into the Dayan Dynasty.

Later, in the first two years of Emperor Yongle's ascension to the throne, he united with Su Xuanjun and his ministers, and only then did the Great Yan Dynasty go uphill for two years.

It is difficult to cure the root cause of a long-term illness, and as long as the problem erupts, it will plunge the dynasty that has lasted for two hundred and thirty-eight years into a vicious circle.

The more displaced people, the more the local government does not dare to release resources, and the more the government does not release resources, the more displaced people will be......

Not only Huazhou is full of displaced people, but even the originally rich Yuezhou has as many as 30,000 or 40,000 displaced people.

Tens of thousands of displaced people flowed from Huazhou into the territory of Yuezhou, which was originally the territory of Zhuxuanqing.

If Zhu Xuanqing is still in Yuezhou, he will definitely be able to help Yuezhou resolve the crisis.

But after Zhu Xuanqing left, the Yuezhou government was mediocre and incompetent, and they didn't dare to open the city to help the displaced people, and they didn't even send out a grain of rice.

As for the will of the imperial court for disaster relief, who will take it to heart?

Only now who has food in their hands will have a sense of security.

The displaced people entered Yangzhou from Yuezhou, and Yangzhou City still did not open the city to receive help.

After starving for a long time, the homeless people began to plunder the villages and towns outside the city, and completely became rogues.

Those who were plundered by the displaced people became homeless people again.

They have nothing to eat, and if they don't join the bandits, they will be killed.

As a result, there are more and more rogues.

There are also some of them who don't want to be rogues to rob, and they form a huge team all the way

Walk towards Gangneung.

Their size was relatively large, so the rogues did not dare to come and rob them.

And they are already poor, and they have nothing to rob.

Thirty or forty thousand displaced people entered the border of Gangneung and gathered outside Gangneung City, the richest city in the south of the Yangtze River.

Han Yu, the governor of Jiangling, was in the barracks at this time, and he had been stationed on the edge of Moon Lake for several months, rarely returning to the city.

After the chief official of Jiangling learned that the displaced people had come, he did not dare to open the city at the first time, so he sent someone to the army to inform Han Yu first.

Han Yu has been paying attention to the changes in the past two months.

No wonder Fuyaolou sent him money, it is estimated that Zhu Xuan had expected that the Great Yan Dynasty would have today.

But this is not surprising, if it were not for the benevolence and righteousness of the first emperor, the Great Yan Dynasty may not be as stable as it is now.

Now it's just that the people are everywhere, and the Great Yan Dynasty has not yet reached the point of falling apart.

Han Yu and Jia Gaowu rode back to Jiangling City in a carriage.

The surname of Jiangling Buzheng is Zeng, and he is also Han Yu's person.

Jiangling is Han Yu's territory, he is a capable person, he can govern Jiangling so well, and the person who uses it is definitely not a mediocre person.

Recently, Jiangling City chose to close the city gate, not because Zeng Mo meant, but Han Yu.

When to do something, Han Yu knew in his heart.

The resources that Zhu Xuanqing gave him and the food that unknown people gave him were not given in vain.

If the world is really chaotic, farming will be very seriously affected.

In fact, before the snow disaster came, Han Yu used a part of the silver sent by Zhu Xuanqing to buy a large amount of grain and grass.

Jiangling was already wealthy, and it was the richest place in the entire Dayan Dynasty. You can even talk to the Great Xia Dynasty

The richest places are compared.

Gangneung Fortress is a large city, its area is only a little smaller than that of Wudu Castle, and its population is more than 600,000.

Although the registered area of Gangneung City is smaller than that of Wudu City, the actual area is already larger than that of Wudu City.

During his tenure, Han Yu enlarged Gangneung City by one-third.

At present, the total amount of resources hoarded in Gangneung City is enough to support 600,000 people for five years.

Han Yu is actually very rich, but he has always been low-key regardless of whether he is an official or a person.

Of course, he didn't think that the materials in the city were all his own, which was shared by the people of Jiangling City.

Because the wealth of Gangneung was created by thousands of Gangneung people.

What Han Yu should do is to create a pure land for the people of Jiangling City for them to live in peace.

The hoarded grain was not bought from the territory of the Great Yan Dynasty, but was purchased from the Great Liang Dynasty at a very low price through the black market.

Han Yu walked out of the city gate and saw this endless procession of displaced people, although he was mentally prepared.

But when he saw that all of them were yellow and thin, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart for a while.

If the first emperor saw the current situation, I really don't know how he would feel.

"Lord Futai, what should they do if they want to enter the city?" Zeng Mo asked in a low voice.

"Gangneung City does not keep idlers, nor does it take in people who come from unknown sources. If you want to enter the city, you must register and go to Tsukiji to work. A day's work can be exchanged for a day's food. There are still a lot of empty houses on the Tsukiji side for them to live in." Han Yu said.

"Yes."

Zeng Mo hurriedly conveyed it to the displaced people

Han Yu's meaning.

The homeless people knelt down to Han Yu and saluted.

They were already homeless, and they couldn't even eat a mouthful of food.

Han Yu was willing to take them into the city and provide them with a shelter, which they couldn't ask for.

As for whether you are a coolie or not, as long as you can eat a full mouthful, you have the strength, so what does it matter if you are a coolie?

It's better than being left out all the time, either starving to death, being beaten to death by a rogue, or becoming a rogue.

Gangneung City does have a lot of work to do.

And for so many years, the expansion of Gangneung City has not stopped.

Several large Tsukiji sites have just been covered by wind and snow, and now the ground is so frozen that many people need to work.

Naturally, there is no shortage of manpower in Gangneung City, but the wages of these locals are very high.

If you can use these homeless people, you only need to give them a full bite of food and a place to live.

For Han Yu, this is about the same as free labor.

Han Yu waved his hand casually and motioned for everyone to get up.

"I'll leave this matter to you. I think most of them are also rule-abiding people, so it shouldn't be difficult to manage." Han Yu said towards Zeng Mo.

"What if there are still displaced people?" Zeng Mo asked.

"There are about 100,000 more people in Gangneung City, and some of them will be arranged to build sword soldiers." Han Yu said.

"Can this really be left to the outcasts?"

"It's all manpower, so why not? Maybe they'll be much more industrious than the lazy guys in the city."

After Han Yu finished speaking, he got into the carriage and left.

Jia Gaowu stayed behind to help Zeng Mo deal with these things.

"Lord Jia, Lord Han is going to ...... this."

"The people of Gangneung are used to a good life

Now, not many people want to be soldiers, this is to replenish the source of soldiers......
