Whether it is Zhao Wen or the dozen or so imperial concubines, although they are looking around with smiles on their faces, there is doubt in their eyes at the same time.
The West Lake in front of me was completely different from what was described. Not a single person could be seen for a long time, and there were not even small businesses around. It was not as prosperous as Gongsun Lan said when he was in Yingtian Mansion.
"Damn the Qin Dynasty, you dare to promise one hundred acres of land to each tenant, causing harm to everyone!"
Several people dressed as scholars were drinking in a pavilion. A scholar suddenly stood up and cursed: "In just a few days, all my tenants have disappeared. My father also bought all the surrounding fields for cheap, but there is no such thing." Tenant, how are you going to cultivate this field?"
"The Qin Dynasty only had a population of 20 to 30 million, while the Shu region had a maximum population of one million. The south is even more desolate. There are enough fields to be given to these untouchables. Brother Li had better make plans in advance!"
Another scholar said with a proud face: "When my family just heard the news, they immediately killed the chickens to scare the monkeys and locked up all the tenants in Zhuangzi. No one can leave. Even if Da Qin leaves in the future, there will be no consequences. Influence!"
"How can it not be affected? Look at this West Lake. Not to mention the snack vendors, there are not even many people hanging around. By then, the whole south will be like this, and you will still be able to live comfortably!"
Another scholar picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp. He looked into the distance and cursed angrily: "Without a sufficient number of people, there will be no soldiers. If the Liao Kingdom and Xixia come to fight, will you and I surrender and die directly?"
"Without a sufficient number of mud legs to hold up the front, if we are the only ones left in the south, not to mention Liao and Xixia, even a group of bandits will be able to take whatever they want from us. How will we deal with it then?" !”
"The fighting power of the Qin Dynasty is too strong. The soldiers are happy when they hear the battle. We, the Song Dynasty, are definitely no match. What can we do if we don't want to!" Another scholar sighed on the side, as if lamenting the fate of the Song Dynasty.
"Since you are worried about the Song Dynasty, why don't you join the army and fight the Qin Dynasty for a life and death battle?" Xue Bing looked at the scholars and asked with full doubts on his face.
"What do you, a woman, know? We are scholars and have learned from great talents. How can we do what we do to imprison soldiers and men!"
Several scholars turned around and looked over. Zhao Wen and his party saw that they belonged to a wealthy family. The anger on their faces instantly disappeared. One of the scholars even explained it to Xue Bing.
"But now all the poor people will move to the Qin Dynasty. In the future, you will be the only scholars in the Song Dynasty who are talented in the world. If the Liao Kingdom and Xixia come over, you are not willing to join the army, so how can you resist them!" Gongsun Lan asked the same question with a smile on her lips.
"Hahaha!" Several scholars suddenly laughed together.
A scholar laughed and said: "That's nonsense. How could the Qin Dynasty move all the people there, let alone those left by me and others in the village? There are many remote rural areas that don't even have the current reign name." Knowing that, how could you possibly know the news about Da Qin!"
"As long as these untouchables have enough food, they can give birth to a large number of offspring, and they also need food when traveling. Without enough food, even if they know that they will be allocated a hundred acres of land when they go to Daqin, they can only stay there honestly
In my farm!" Another scholar looked at Zhao Wen and his group with contempt.
"Thank you dear friends for telling me!" Zhao Wen cupped his hands with a smile on his face and walked lightly to the other side.
"Zeng Bu was still too soft-spoken. If it weren't for these scholars, I wouldn't have known that the tenant farmers in the Song Dynasty were so poor that they couldn't even walk to the river without enough food!" Zhao Wen shook his head softly and sighed.
The appointment of Zeng Bu was based on his reputation for following Wang Anshi's reforms. After Great Qin entered this world, scholars continued to come to seek refuge, and it could even be said that they encountered no obstacles at all. This was due to the strong military strength of Great Qin, but at the same time
He also has the reputation of Zeng Bu.
But now, the troubles of appointing Zeng Bu have emerged. He acted too softly, and the rich people everywhere and these scholars are not afraid of him at all.
"Except for a few remote counties in the south, all the cities in the south have been occupied by our Great Qin. In each city there are not only Jin Yiwei, but also our Great Qin's Forbidden Army. The Jin Yiwei and the Forbidden Army can publicize our Great Qin's relocation strategy to everyone. Anyone who dares to stop it will be killed!"
A few days ago, a historical record inexplicably landed at his door. After reading it, Lu Pheasant finally understood why a girl from a small county town was attracted by His Highness the Prince.
But no matter what, now that I am His Majesty's concubine, since His Majesty is still willing to accept me after knowing what I have done, he obviously doesn't mind, so he boldly expressed his opinion.
"It's also a way to let the Imperial Army and the Royal Guards use gold and silver to buy grain from various farms, and the grain stored by the governments in various places can be distributed to tenants who want to move to Great Qin!"
This time, the South was completely captured, and all the accumulation in the South fell into the hands of Great Qin. Instead of spending manpower to transport these things back, it would be better to distribute them directly to the people who are willing to move to Great Qin.
"How much gold and silver will it cost to buy these farms with gold and silver?" Gongsun Lan looked at Zhao Wen with eagerness in her eyes. If Zhao Wen agreed, she would even personally take people to repurchase the gold and silver.
Grab it back.
"My sister is too naive." Lu Zhi chuckled and said: "Students have always been the smartest. When there are fewer and fewer people in the city, they will never stay in the empty Zhuangzi to wait for death. After weighing the pros and cons,
, even if you don’t want to, you will still move to my country, Daqin!”
Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing. He would not have calculated so clearly, but people continued to enter Da Qin. All the supplies these people brought increased Da Qin's national power. As for the seizures from this world, no matter how much they spent,
This time I made a lot of money, so I don’t have to worry about it at all.
That is to say, the Chu region has just moved a large number of people, and the entire Qin Dynasty is short of food, so it stopped after occupying the south. Otherwise, with an order, the imperial troops from various places can be forced to move.
In the south of the Yangtze River in the Qin Dynasty, among the trees covered with vines, a group of big men holding sharp axes were cutting down the big trees.
After cutting them down, they cleaned up the branches and dragged them to an open space not far away. One of the big men cursed while dragging: "I thought that after joining the army, I would be able to go into battle and kill the enemy, but I was killed.
Being assigned to this barbaric land to reclaim the wasteland is simply a bad luck for eight lifetimes!"
"Hahaha!"
As soon as the big man finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter all around.
