Liu Xiang's words were sonorous and powerful and could not be rejected. The merchants on the dock who had been doing business in Tianjing New City for more than two months saw for the first time the power of Tianjing New City and the fangs of Tianjing New City. Among the countries they had seen,
No country's laws are fairer than the laws of Tianjing New City. Among the countries they have seen, no country has such a high regard for the lives of its people. Among the countries they have seen, no country has such fair laws.
The army will be more elite than Tianjing New City...
In Tianjing New City, they experienced a lot, saw a lot, and thought a lot. Of course, for the businessmen, what they wanted to do most at this moment was to rush to the capital of Tianjing New City and see it with their own eyes.
Touch the law stone erected in front of the official hall and touch the regulations about merchants engraved on it with your own hands. If the regulations about merchants are true, they want to move their families over and settle in Tianjing New City. This is announcing to the world with the law stone.
A country where everyone is equal.
There are the most merchants in the Song Dynasty on the dock, and they are also the group of people who feel the deepest feelings. Because in the Song Dynasty, they have always been at the bottom of the class. Liu Xiang doesn’t understand the thoughts in the minds of the merchants, and he doesn’t want to understand. To all the merchants
After showing off the muscles of Tianjing New City, Liu Xiang moved to Wang Mingcheng and said, "Wangfutai, my lord, these Han people from Liao must move to Dagou City.
I am sent to you this time to cooperate with you in completing the migration." Near Dagou City, the largest number of people currently living are the Xi people, who are also an ethnic group of the Liao Kingdom. The Han people who came from the Liao Dynasty have eaten for decades.
After this freedom, they will definitely be grateful to Yang Peng. At the same time, they will also become the group of people who support Yang Peng the most.
There is such a group of people living on the edge of Dagou, which will have a diversionary effect on Yingzhou. Wang Mingcheng intends to keep these people in the harbor city to be built and resettle them himself. But he can still distinguish the priorities of the matter clearly. Moreover,
, Yang Peng had given him a generous gift and paid in advance the position he had promised him.
From this, it can be seen that Yang Peng is a promise-keeper and relies on him very much. Wang Mingcheng clasped his fists and said: "I will definitely cooperate!" Zhao Jinxi returned the greeting: "That's very good. Before moving, please follow me to see the city lord.
." Wang Mingcheng nodded heavily, turned around and said a few words to the few followers behind him, and then left behind Zhao Jinxi.
As soon as Wang Mingcheng left, Yang Tong stepped forward and asked people to lead the Han people from Liaoning to follow her and leave the dock. A temporary camp was set up in an open space three miles away from the dock. There were thousands of cauldrons in the camp.
, a large pot was boiling with scalding water. In the middle of the camp, hundreds of large pools were dug deep into which sterilizing drugs were poured. A bucket of hot water was poured into the pools.
"Take off your clothes and go in!" Under the strict military laws formulated by Yang Peng, the soldiers who were trained rarely spoke in front of outsiders, almost sparing words like gold, and the expressions on their faces were cold. Han people in Liao land
Faced with this situation, I was a little overwhelmed and wanted to ask Wang Mingcheng for help, but Wang Mingcheng was not there.
The bold ones muttered, "What are you doing?" "What are you doing?!" a talkative soldier replied, "What else can I do? Of course I'm giving you a bath. Look at you, you're staying in Liaodi
After so many years, I don’t know how much suffering I have endured. I guess some people don’t even know what it’s like to take a bath.
The city lord takes pity on you and asks you to take a quick bath to get rid of the bad luck on your body, and at the same time wash away the sins that the Liao people put on you. From now on, be a clean citizen of Tianjing New City."
Wu Zheng, who was next to the soldier, glared at him and shouted: "You are the only one who talks too much!" After Wu Zheng scolded the soldier, he shouted to the Han people in Liao: "Take off your clothes and get down!" The Han people in Liao also knew how to do this.
For their own sake, each of them stopped talking, took off their clothes, and jumped into the pool.
After a while, he lay in the pool, humming comfortably, and began to call his friends. Immediately afterwards, Han citizens from Liao Dynasty began to enter the pool one by one. Yang Tong sat on the horse and glanced at the crowd.
The women who were afraid of moving forward gave a clear shout. "Women, all follow me, go to another camp." Yang Tong is a woman, everyone can hear it from the voice, so after hearing Yang Tong's call
, the women breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly left behind Yang Tong.
In another camp, there are all women, and each one is quite heroic. These women are all soldiers, and they all belong to Yang Tong's personal guards and guard companies. The work in the women's camp is not the same as the work in the men's camp.
Both. The same method involves taking a bath with boiling water and herbs. It is obviously a process of killing viruses, diseases and insects, but Yang Peng ordered the person who handled it to name it as removing bad luck.
If you speak frankly, I'm afraid some people will complain. In other words, what you receive is praise from everyone. This is the charm of language. When the Han people in Liao Dynasty took a bath and climbed ashore, they found that their clothes
He was taken away. At the same time, he was given clean and tidy clothes.
Then they were taken to the big tent in the camp. There were fire-headed soldiers in the big tent, carrying food buckets, distributing food to them. Every time someone was distributed, the old man holding the spoon would tell them, "I have been hungry for too long."
Come on, don't eat too much. If you eat too much, you will burst your belly. You have just arrived at a good place and you are about to enjoy the blessings. Don't risk your life just to have a full meal." The Han people in Liao land held up the food and said
I didn’t swallow it all immediately, but held my rice bowl in my hand and shed tears.
"If it had been a few years earlier, maybe my brothers and sisters would be alive..." "If my parents knew that I was enjoying the blessings now, they would be happy to be reincarnated..." "My mother-in-law was robbed by Liao dogs, and my parents were killed by Liao dogs.
, now I am the only one left, who can eat a full meal and survive without complaining!" When the old man heard this, his brows were raised, and one of the three steamed buns originally given to that guy was taken away by the old man.
.
Then, with an angry look on his face, the guy cursed: "You bitch, you have no conscience at all. Seeing that you are about to live a good life, you actually want to die? The Lord tried his best to bring you back from Liaodi, just because you want to
Let you live like a human being from now on. A kind person like the city lord saves you from fire and water. You don't want to repay, but you actually want to die?
If I had known you were so virtuous, I should have asked Mr. Wang to drown you in the sea." The man was also a fool. He took a hard bite of the steamed bun, held his neck and shouted: "Everyone in my family is dead, and only the rest are left.
I'm alone now. What difference does it make if I live or not?" The old man hit him with a spoon and cursed: "Your parents are dead, why are you still alive? I just want to keep you.
, to spread the incense in the family?
Now that life is about to get better, you can't think about it. Doing a good job, finding a wife, and having a baby to carry on the family line can be considered as worthy of your parents' upbringing." The man raised his head and lifted the cover that covered his face.
His hair revealed a ferocious scar on his face. "Who would follow me when I look like this?" The old guy looked at this guy with disdain, "You have no experience." The old guy gave everyone in the big tent a look.
The people got the food, walked to the door of the big tent, beat their backs, and sat down slowly. "I have nothing to do now. Do you want to listen to the old man chatting about your own affairs for a while?" Everyone nodded, although
They were given 111 acres of land, but they were still unsure about how to live in the South.
The old man coughed twice, attracting everyone's attention, and then spoke slowly. "The old man is from Binzhou and lives next to the Great Buddha Temple. Four years ago, there was a severe drought in Binzhou and there was no harvest. The old man led
The whole family ate bark and roots, and managed to survive. The next year, there was enough rain, and the crops grew vigorously, and the harvest was about to be harvested. The Dragon King did not open his eyes, and the Jing River flooded, and three acres of crops were all gone.
.The people in the village gnawed all the bark off the tree. The old man’s wife and children were dying. The emperor of the Song Dynasty wanted to invade the Liao Kingdom and went around to collect grain.
The old man was forced to have no choice, so he teamed up with the people in the village to kill the dog official, went up the mountain, and fell into the grass. A year ago, the official sent people to suppress the bandits. Everyone in the village was caught
The general who led the army, after learning what happened to the old man, bypassed the old man and survived. The old man and the remaining people in the village were confusedly led to Tianjing New City. The old man originally thought that he had arrived at Tianjing New City.
They will be treated as slaves and humiliated to death.
Who would have thought that after arriving in Tianjing New City, the city lord gave fields and cattle, and the girls in the village rushed to become the old man's wife. Hehehe... At the beginning of this year, the old man's wife was pregnant.
.The old man felt that he had never had such a good life in his life."
"Old man, you look over fifty, don't you? The girls in Tianjing New City are not fools, they will rush to be your wife?" Someone raised a question. The old man chuckled and said: "That's why the old man said you know how to do it.
Master. This Tianjing New City was originally a place that the Khitan and Liao Kingdoms had no control over. There were many Khitan women here. The women were diligent and the men were lazy. They stayed at home all day long and did not go out. They relied on the women to support the family.
The Lord felt that such a good place was being ruined by Khitan men, so he arrested all the Khitan men. So now, in most places in our Tianjing New City, there is not a single man..." Someone threw their rice and muttered
Said: "The city lord is so ruthless..." The old man stared, grabbed a steamed bun, and smashed it on the head of the person who spoke. "People of Tianjing New City, no one is qualified to say this. You are
The most unqualified people to say this. You bastards are the ones the Lord bought from the Liao people for Khitan men.
Two strong Khitan men, what a loser like you. There is no one in this world who treats us better. The old man has also read a few books for a few days and knows some history. Count on thousands of years,
There is no one as good as the Lord. Who dares to be disrespectful to the Lord? I won’t use a knife, I will bite him to death one bite at a time.” The old man’s words were decisive, and everyone could hear the unswerving attitude in his tone.
.
The scar-faced man patted his chest and said in a deep voice: "I have never read a book, but I also understand the principle of repaying a favor in return. I don't know anything else, but I still know how to handle the knife edge.
After listening to your father-in-law's words today, I admire the city lord from the bottom of my heart. From now on, I, Old Xier, will definitely use the knife in my hand to protect the city lord."
"Me too!" "Me too!" "Count me in!" "I'm indispensable!" "..."
The old man nodded happily, "You have good intentions, and I won't give you my meal for free." Everyone grinned. The scar-faced man pursed his lips, and said a little embarrassedly: "Old man,
Do you think I can really get a wife with my appearance?" Everyone stared at the old man expectantly.
The old man laughed loudly, "I promise you, if you don't have high vision and can't marry a wife, I will give you my wife." The scar-faced man said happily: "That doesn't matter, it's true.
Okay. Now I feel that I am full of energy." The old man stared at the scarred face for a few times and said on demand: "If you are really motivated, you should join the army. To tell you the truth, we, a woman from Tianjing New City,
, they can all do it! You don’t need to take care of the fields at home, they can take care of them properly.
The old man has a baby about to be born, so he joined the army to earn a share of his salary and some family property for the baby at home." Scarface asked, "How is the treatment in the army?" "Three taels of silver per month, five pounds of rice.
." "So high? With my ability, I can afford to have multiple wives." Hearing this, the old man frowned, "Little brother, I see you are also a capable person.
Let me tell you a few words. In our Tianjing New City, there are a few things that cannot be touched.
First, we in Tianjing New City practice monogamy. We don’t marry many. Even if we marry more, the government won’t recognize it..." "Why not recognize it? As long as you can afford it, there’s no point in marrying more.
Relationship?" "Shit! You have just arrived in Tianjing New City, have you forgotten the hard days you had before? Our wives are all for us to marry. Who will we marry for the brothers who come back from Liao in the future? Is it possible that those in Liao are married?
Brothers of the land, do you just ignore it?"
When the brothers in Liao were mentioned, everyone was silent. As people who had been there, they knew what life was like for the brothers in Liao. Seeing that everyone accepted the matter, the old man did not raise any further objections.
He continued: "Second, as long as our children in Tianjing New City reach the age of six, they must go to school to study. Anyone who doesn't let the children study will be punished by the government."
"What's the use of studying? You might as well follow me and farm..." The old man glared, "Shit! You don't have any knowledge at all. You have suffered all your life and let the children suffer with you. Looking at you, I'm afraid you won't even pay.
I don’t even know how to do it. If someone sells it, I still have to help count the money.
You have been incompetent all your life, why do you want your children to follow you and suffer hardships? If your children are good at studying, they may be able to become officials in the future. Besides, you don't have to spend a penny on the expenses of your children's studies.
The Lord has said that the city lord will take care of everything." "So... it's really a good thing..." "This is a great thing. For you to meet such a good city lord, I will let you enjoy the blessings and sins in the future!
"
Wang Mingcheng crossed the threshold and saw Yang Peng sitting in the middle of the main hall. He immediately fell to his knees on the ground with tears streaming down his face. "Your Majesty Wang Mingcheng, I would like to bow to the Lord of the City." Yang Peng stood up, held up his sleeves and robe, and took three steps in two steps.
He walked to Wang Mingcheng and helped him up, "Mingcheng, we don't want this in Tianjing New City." Wang Mingcheng stood up with Yang Peng's support and said excitedly: "The king has given me generous gifts, and I will accept them."
Ashamed." Yang Peng took Wang Mingcheng, walked to the table with sumptuous food and wine, and sat down.
"Mingcheng, this time you marched eastward to the Liao Kingdom and brought nearly 80,000 people to our new city of Tianjing. It is a great achievement for your hard work. You deserve to be promoted to an official position. Also, please call me your Majesty from now on.
You'd better call me City Lord." Wang Mingcheng wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and nodded sincerely.
Yang Peng personally poured wine for Wang Mingcheng, and Wang Mingcheng was flattered and held the wine glass. After the two sat down, they didn't say much and drank four or five glasses of wine. After Wang Mingcheng calmed down, Yang Yansi asked: "Ming Mingcheng
Sincerely, tell me what you have gained from your eastward march to the Liao Kingdom."
"Well..." Wang Mingcheng put down his wine glass, pondered for a while, made a draft, and said: "Reporting to your lord, this time I marched eastward to the Liao Kingdom. It lasted four months and spent most of the time wandering at sea. When I left,
Nearly a hundred of the Khitan men who were escorted died on the road. Most of them died of suffocation, and some died of internal fighting.
I think that I should pay attention to this aspect the next time I go there. I arrived in the Liao Kingdom in the twelfth month of this year. According to your instructions, I contacted the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom as soon as I landed ashore and sent a lot of gold and silver.
With gold and silver paving the way, Chen's plan to replace the population went smoothly.
The Khitan men who were escorted were basically replaced with the Han people of the Liao Kingdom at a ratio of five for four. As for the old and weak women and children, there was no need for ministers to replace them. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom felt that those people were a burden, so they directly replaced them
They were all given to me. In addition, I was determined to promote the life in Tianjing New City, which also attracted some Han people to secretly follow me. Therefore, the total population exceeded 80,000.
The nobles of the Liao Kingdom also knew about this, but they almost turned a blind eye. When I came back, there were not enough ships, so I paid them to rent ships. They did not hesitate and rented them all to me. Now our fleet
The number of ships is 20% more than when I went to Liao Kingdom." Yang Peng heard this and nodded happily, picked up the wine glass and touched it with Wang Mingcheng, drank it all in one gulp, put down the wine glass, and said: "Well done
, as long as a gap is opened among the Liao nobles, the future population replacement plan will proceed more smoothly.
You can be said to be indispensable for your success in the first battle." "Sir..." Wang Mingcheng stopped talking. Yang Peng said with a smile: "Speak directly if you have anything to say, don't be hesitant. If you have anything to ask for, I will consider it as appropriate.
"Wang Mingcheng pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice: "I hope to continue running between the Liao Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom and continue to implement the population replacement plan." Yang Peng was stunned and said in confusion: "You have opened the gap, what is left?
Just leave it to others. Could it be that you dislike the small area under the jurisdiction of Dagou City?
I can tell you responsibly, despite the small area under the jurisdiction of Dagou City, the future development of Harbor City is not comparable to other prefectures. According to my estimation, as long as Dagou Prefecture develops, the annual income will be
The taxation can exceed half of the Song Dynasty's annual tax."
Wang Mingcheng was surprised when he heard what Yang Peng said. Wang Mingcheng knew exactly how much the Song Dynasty's annual tax was, more than half of it. Wang Mingcheng lowered his head in silence. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Yang Yansi firmly.
Said: "Sir, I want to continue traveling between the two countries in southern Liaoning, not because I dislike the area under the jurisdiction of the Haigang Government is too small. But... I am in Liao, and after seeing the life of the Han people in Liao, I have a big heart.
Because of the shock, they lived a very miserable life.
I have never seen anyone living a more miserable life than them. I want to rescue more people as soon as possible. Although the door of the Liao nobles has been opened, if I send another person to go, the Liao people may not admit it, so I still have to go.
Manipulating this matter will not only get twice the result with half the effort, but also get more Han people from the hands of the Liao people."
Yang Peng frowned, stared at Wang Mingcheng, and said in a deep voice: "Have you thought clearly?" Wang Mingcheng looked sincere and said solemnly: "I have never been so clear as now. I am also a Han..." Yang Peng sighed.
He said, "Now Tianjing New City is short of manpower, and even more lacking of Liguo University talents. I originally wanted to put you in an important position. Since you insist on continuing to replace the population, then let's do it.
I will keep your position at the Dagou Prefecture for you. Later, I will temporarily allocate an agent to Dagou Prefecture. Whenever you want to take up the post of Dagou Prefecture, you will take office at that time." Wang Mingcheng stood up.
, clasping fists and bowing, "I would like to thank you, Lord City Lord, for your love." "Stop talking about this, let's eat. After wandering on the sea for a long time, you must have missed these food and drinks, right?" "I really want to..." The two of them ate and drank together, talking and laughing,
Until the rising moon tomorrow.
Wang Mingcheng and the men led by Wang Mingcheng indulged themselves at the dock for three days. Three days later, Wang Mingcheng handed over all the Han people he brought back from Liao to Yang Peng, and then took his mighty fleet to escort the Khitan men.
Ding embarked on the journey again.
This is the journey that belongs to Wang Mingcheng. When Wang Mingcheng first took refuge in Yang Peng, he was a man who was coerced by his family and had to work hard. He finally found the direction of his life. Then, he began to move forward silently along this direction.
Yang Peng watched Wang Mingcheng's fleet leave with mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in agreeing to Wang Mingcheng's request. There are nearly five million Han people in Liao, and with Wang Mingcheng's kind
What is the replacement method and when can it be completed?
Yang Peng roughly estimated that it would be twenty-five years. This is without any obstruction. Yang Peng has now built the city in Dagou that blocked the Khitans from going south to be bigger than Tianjing New City, Yingzhou and Mo
All the land east of Youzhou has been cleared for cultivation by Yang Peng. In addition, the Khitan army is afraid of the flintlock guns in Yang Peng's hands. Until the harm of the flintlock guns is solved, the Khitans will no longer dare to fight south of Youzhou.
Grass Valley.
If Wang Mingcheng is left in Dagou Mansion and helps him take care of Dagou Mansion, maybe Dagou Mansion will become rich within three years. With a lot of money, Yang Peng can quickly equip more troops. In comparison,
He said that it would be more cost-effective for Wang Mingcheng to stay in Dagou Mansion than to implement the replacement plan in person. "Okay, that's all the old man has to tell you. You can see and listen to the rest for yourselves. Eat your fill.
Hurry up and get out, the old man has to wait for the next group of people." Everyone rushed out of the big tent with a smile.
This scene did not only happen in this big tent, in fact, this scene happened in all the big tents in the entire camp. It's just that the stories everyone told were slightly different, and the rest were exactly the same. This so-called heart-to-heart talk
The link was designed and led by Yang Peng. In Yang Peng's words, it was to stabilize people's hearts and at the same time promote the happy life of Tianjing New City to everyone.
In this regard, Yang Peng didn't say much and let Yang Ping do everything. Everything in the camp was proceeding in an orderly manner.
If you want to know what happens next, let’s look at the breakdown in the next chapter.
