Wang Wentong's words gave Zhao Tai confidence.

In fact, he has never been satisfied with this land in Shandong.

Choosing Shandong was his last resort. He had doubts about occupying Shandong and competing for the world.

After all, in history, very few people started from Shandong and conquered the world.

Now after listening to Wang Wentong's words, Zhao Tai felt that the land of Shandong was also beneficial.

If we can sweep Hebei to the north and capture Kaifeng to the west, we may not be unable to accomplish great things.

When Wang Wentong heard Zhao Tai's admiration, his face immediately lit up with joy, "Ms. Shandong, the middle part of Shandong is high and the surrounding areas are low. Although Pizhou and Tengzhou are dilapidated, they are located in the south of Mount Tai and Yimeng Mountains, so they are not so vulnerable to attacks.

, I thought we could focus on development. In addition, the land of Haizhou is located between Donghai Island and Pizhou, we'd better take it!"

Zhao Tai nodded, "Haizhou is Li Fen's territory. I have an agreement with him not to touch it for the time being. For now, we will gather the people and place them in Pizhou and Teng County. According to Mr.'s idea, we will organize these people into Wei

So. Be the people in peacetime and soldiers in time of war. Let them support themselves."

Wang Wentong nodded, "The humble position will make people post notices to let the people of Pizhou and Tengzhou come back. If they don't return for half a year, their houses and fields will be regarded as ownerless land and will be taken back by the government and distributed to other people! In addition, again,

From Suining, Suzhou, and Sizhou, the clans that are willing to migrate will be settled in Pi and Tengzhou."

Zhao Tai nodded: "The notice must be written clearly to inform the fleeing people that as long as they come back, the Xuanfu Division can provide them with seeds and tools! The clans that have migrated over will be given fields and weapons."

Wang Wentong said: "I understand the humble position!"

The Song Dynasty valued literature over military affairs and suppressed the bloody spirit of the people. The Jin Kingdom ruled the north and also adopted a repressive policy towards the Han people in the north.

Over the course of hundreds of years, the characteristics of the entire Han nation have undergone tremendous changes, losing the spirit of the Han and Tang Dynasties.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Jin Dynasty was decadent and incompetent and unable to protect the people. Han clans and powerful men in various parts of the north built forts to protect themselves. Later, when foreign tribes invaded, it was difficult to see such a scene.

Although Zhao Tai's use of clans to form rural soldiers, regiment training, and armed farming would cause many problems, but at the moment, in order to fight against Mongolia, Zhao Tai can't control so much.

After all, by blocking the Mongolian attack, Zhao Tai would still have a chance to deal with these clans and powerful men. If he could not stop the Mongols, Zhao Tai would not even have a chance to solve the problem.

At that moment, Zhao Tai discussed the specific details with Wang Wentong for a while, and explained some of the Ming Dynasty's guard system to Wang Wentong, allowing him to learn from it what he could refer to.

A few days later, dozens of cavalrymen rushed to the states and counties under Zhao Tai's rule and posted notices to order the refugees in Shandong to return to their hometowns. At the same time, they encouraged various clans to send their children and branches to Shandong for military settlement.

For a time, notices were posted at the gates of every county, and people passing by gathered to watch.

The people of Shandong who were living here heard that if they did not return for half a year, their homes and cultivated land would be confiscated as ownerless land, so they packed their bags and decided to return to their hometown.

When clan members in each county saw the notice, each clan member who moved to a military camp in Shandong would be given thirty acres of land. The clan leader or family elder would be given a small banner for ten households, a hundred households for a hundred households, and a thousand households for a military camp.

He was directly awarded the title of Thousand Households, which immediately attracted many people's attention.

Several prefectures and counties under Zhao Tai's control were less affected by the Mongolian-Jin war because they were close to the Southern Song Dynasty. They had a large population and each family had more people but less land.

Now that Zhao Tai has given out such a policy, many family patriarchs are tempted.

However, there were frequent wars in Shandong, and it was impossible for them to move as a whole family. Each family chose to let some of their people go.

In this way, the clan can not only obtain land in Shandong, but the people left behind can also get more land.

In Suining County, in Wangjiazhuang, the old patriarch summoned the elders of the clan and the elders of each house to discuss the notice.

The patriarch of the Wang family is called Wang Changyu. He glanced at the people in the hall and his eyes fell on a lean man about forty years old. "Changnian, have you seen the notice posted by the Xuanfu Division?"

Wang Changnian nodded solemnly, "I've seen it!"

Seeing this, Wang Changyu smiled and said: "It's good if you have seen it. Then I don't need to repeat it to you. You also know the situation in the clan. To sum up, there are more people and less land. I have discussed with several elders and feel that we

Instead of having several rooms of people crowded together and not having enough to eat, it is better to respond to the call of the Xuanfu envoy and send one room of people to the military camp in Shandong."

Wang Changnian listened to his words and lowered his head in silence. Wang Changyu continued: "We decided to let you people from the third room go over first to take the lead and see the situation in Shandong. Mr. Zhao is a good official. He should not be able to

If you cheat us, you can get thirty acres of land per Ding, and your life will definitely be better than now."

Wang Changnian was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Since the clan has decided, our third room will obey the clan's arrangements. However, if we hand over the land in Suining and go to Shandong Juntun, the clan must compensate our third room, otherwise

I can't convince the people of Sanfang."

Seeing his promise, Wang Changyu and several clan elders all looked happy. He immediately said: "This is natural. The clan will provide you with food and tools to help you settle down in Shandong."

Wang Changnian nodded, "In that case, I have no objection!"

At the end of the family meeting, it was decided that Wang Changnian would take a family of 120 people with three rooms to farm in Shandong, and their farmland in Suining would be divided among the remaining families.

At this time, Wang Changnian left the ancestral hall, and his son Wang Jingde said angrily: "Dad, why did you agree? They just bullied our third family and wanted to steal our land."

Wang Changnian breathed out a breath, "I have seen the notice, and the policies of the Xuanfu Division are indeed more attractive. Now we have three houses, and our family has less than seven or eight acres of cultivated land. We are still being squeezed out by them. It is difficult for the tribesmen to live. Why not

Going to Shandong to try your luck is not necessarily a way out."

Wang Jingde said: "But it's not safe to fight in Shandong!"

Wang Changnian shook his head, "Do you think Suining is safe? I heard that the Mongols are about to take Luoyang, and maybe they will hit Suining at some time. In addition, the Xuanfu Division said that all clans that go to military camps will

, in addition to providing land, the government will also issue weapons to us. It is not safe anywhere now, so it is better to try our luck in Shandong."

After listening to Wang Changnian's words, Wang Jingde stopped talking.
