The rumbling train finally stopped, and with the sound of the whistle, a large number of people from Guizhou who had migrated from the interior got off the train in a bustling manner.
Fan Kuai from Peixian County, carrying his son Shi on his back, curiously looked around at the scenery that was completely different from his hometown, and asked his friends next to him, "Will we brothers live here from now on?"
Liu Ji moved forward along with the crowd, and at the same time looked around at the people who came to greet him.
He was too lazy to respond to Fan Kuai's nagging.
Mr. Cao, who was holding Liu Fei in his arms and carrying a large bundle on his back, followed Liu Ji closely.
Fan Kuai wanted to say something, but Zhou Bo behind him pushed him out of the car. "Go quickly, go quickly. Don't block the road. Anyone sitting on this giant beast will have weak legs."
Liu Ji, who was walking along the crowd over there, finally saw an acquaintance among the crowd, and immediately waved happily, "Brother Xiao, we are here~~~"
Xiao He, who was wearing official uniform, smiled and stepped forward to greet everyone. "There are too many people here. Let's go out with someone first."
The group dragged their families and carried various belongings on their backs, and it took a long time to get out of the station.
When they came to the roadside, the four-wheeled carriage that Xiao He had rented had long been parked here.
Everyone put the guys on the carriage one after another, and the children were also put on the carriage. Then everyone commented on the camel pulling the carriage.
The driver urged the camel forward, and everyone followed on foot.
Xiao He explained, "Most of the Tuomas around here have been requisitioned by the army to fight, so most of the people inside and outside Suiye City use camels to pull carts. They are strong enough, so there is no problem in pulling carts."
Lu Wan, Liu Bang's sworn brother, asked, "Brother Xiao, the court has really allocated houses to us? Isn't it just a few thatched houses?"
"Can I still deceive all my fellow countrymen?"
Xiao He waved his hands repeatedly, "Of course they are not thatched houses, they are beautiful houses with yards."
When everyone heard this, their hearts suddenly felt at ease.
As for why these people who were supposed to live in Peixian County appeared in Suiye City, it was because Li Yunze proposed to Zulong that newly returned people from all over the world should be moved to the Western Region to fill the place.
To put it simply, it is farming.
The Western Region is very good, but there are not many people from Da Qin.
Zu Long admired Li Yunze's words very much, 'If a place is full of people from Great Qin, then this place must be the land of Qin. If there are not many people of Great Qin in a place, then this place will be lost soon.'
So he immediately agreed to the matter and asked Li Yunze to coordinate the arrangements.
Li Yunze's arrangement was very simple, using regions as boundaries and moving half of the local people to cities in the Western Regions.
For example, here in Suiye City, half of the people who migrated here came from Pei County and the surrounding areas, and the other half came from Zhuo County and the surrounding areas.
This is because with the arrival of the train route, Suiye City has gradually replaced Khotan as the most prosperous and central place in the Western Region.
The number of people who migrated to other cities varied greatly. In some small cities, only people from a few villages migrated.
In this way, it will not only enrich the population of the Western Regions and other places, but also reduce the remaining power in the homeland of the Six Nations.
Of course, according to Zulong's intention, he would just migrate there and make enough food and clothing by himself when he got to the fields. This was also the rule of this era.
Fortunately, the person in charge of this matter is Li Yunze, so his character is naturally guaranteed.
The first step is to notify various places and allow those who are willing to migrate to the Western Regions to sign up voluntarily.
There are naturally advantages to signing up in advance.
Such as houses, living supplies, land, livestock, and even slaves and maidservants.
The people volunteered, but the government directly forced them to share half of the money.
If the county magistrate doesn't come and the county magistrate comes, all the officials in the yamen, from clerks to jailers, will be equally divided and half of them will come first to prepare for the yamen.
After they came here and received the various things promised by the court, they would naturally write letters to call their friends and ask them to come over as soon as possible. After all, the court would force them to draw lots when the time limit was up. Anyone with two or more sons in the family would
One has to be divided, so it is better to come earlier to get more benefits.
Xiao He used to be a chief official, but now he is a clerk in each household.
Cao Shen was a jailer before, but now he is the cell leader.
Xia Houying was the driver, and now he has become the head of the carriage and horse department. It was he who arranged this camel carriage.
The transportation capacity of Suiye City is currently tight, because the Qin army is attacking various Hellenistic colonial cities in Dayuan Kingdom, and there is a huge demand for logistical supplies.
Liu Ji and others were joking all the way to the residential area outside Suiye City, which was full of newly built houses.
There is no city wall in Suiye City, because after Zulong acquired Dagui, things like city walls that cost people and money became useless, and there was no need to build them at all.
As for the residential area, it was built after the Qin army defeated the Wusun tribe and captured tens of thousands of prisoners to use as labor force.
"This house is really nice."
Mr. Cao, who was holding Liu Fei in his arms, entered the courtyard and walked around for a while, feeling very satisfied.
After all, it is a new house, so it is certainly much better than the dilapidated house in my hometown.
"Every household has it, everyone has it." Xiao He took out the documents and started to register his friends.
"Each family can be allocated two horses, four cows, and twenty sheep."
"Now the horses have been requisitioned by General Meng Tian and changed to three camels per family."
"Farms have been divided outside the city. Each family has a hundred acres of farmland and a hundred acres of pasture."
"The things provided by the imperial court include a bed, a wardrobe, a stove, and two iron pots..."
"By the way, if you are not married, you can go to the county government to register. The county government will organize blind dates on the 15th day of the lunar month. If you are over 23 and still haven't gotten married, you have to pay 30 yuan every year..."
"It doesn't matter if you're not a good match. You can apply to the Yamen to accept girls from the grasslands or from the Western Regions."
Hearing this, Fan Kuai and others, who had not yet gotten married and had a wife, suddenly became interested.
"Have you seen it? What kind of it does it look like? Is it beautiful?"
Xiao He smiled and stroked his beard, "Of course there are beautiful ones and ugly ones. But brothers are all our own, so you can choose first."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Ji and others suddenly became happy and laughed non-stop.
In this way, the migrant people from Pei County gradually settled here.
They received large livestock that they had never thought of before, various living supplies, and fields and pastures measured in hundreds of acres.
Compared with my previous life in my hometown, it was really satisfying.
They would never know that Li Yunze specially selected Pei County among so many counties in Da Qin.
Li Yunze paid close attention to the matter of relocating people. Even when the front line was in urgent need of a large amount of supplies, he still used precious transportation capacity to transport people.
This also made the military very dissatisfied, and the complaint was sent to Zu Long's desk.
But Zulong supported Li Yunze unconditionally, and the military bosses could only sulk secretly.
Meng Tian, who succeeded Wang Ben, became ruthless. Since the supplies were insufficient, he would simply feed the enemy.
Facing the Hellenistic cities, after using the Qin King's cannon to destroy the city walls, the Qin army rushed into the city and directly divided into areas to plunder.
Everything from food to necessities, from belongings to furniture will be spared.
As for massacre, there is no such thing, because many places in Da Qin need people.
Construction sites, mines, workshops, farms, etc. are all in short supply of people.
On the road from Dawan Kingdom to Suiye City, one could see teams of convoys filled with various supplies, as well as prisoners with different faces following the convoys.
For example, Fan Kuai, who opened a fragrant butcher shop in Suiye City, chose a woman from Dawan with the help of Xiao He.
It is said that she is the daughter of a nobleman.
In Fan Kuai's words, "I just hate her different face, even the hair is the same elsewhere."
The Kingdom of Dayuan, one of the legacies of Alexander's Eastern Expedition, resisted for less than a year in the face of the wolf-like Qin army, and then completely perished on the stage of history.
However, this speed made Zulong very dissatisfied.
It took one year to destroy such a small country, then when can we reach the West Sea? Is ten years enough?
Every night before going to bed, Zu Long would caress the globe on the desk. His gentle movements were enough to make beauties from all over the world jealous.
His eyes would stay on the globe for a long time, constantly thinking in his mind when he could occupy this place and when he could occupy that place.
Ever since he studied mathematics, physics and chemistry with Li Yunze, Zu Long no longer believed in immortality.
Although he still had longing in his heart, the reality made him understand that no one can escape from birth, old age, illness and death.
Therefore, he wanted to fill the globe with Da Qin's black dragon flag as much as possible within his limited life time, leaving an unprecedentedly large territory for Da Qin and his descendants for thousands of years.
Because of this, Zulong expressed dissatisfaction with the Qin army's progress on the front line.
Of course, he also knew the reason, which was that the railway line with super transportation capacity had only been built to Suiye City at this time. Going further would require countless packhorses to be transported, which greatly restricted the army's mobility.
In order to solve this problem, Zulong began to recruit people from everywhere to build roads, especially the prisoners, who were all assigned to the construction site.
Mining and smelting in various places cannot be stopped. As for the natural environment and sky pollution mentioned by Taifu, at least Zulong at this time did not take it seriously at all.
Zu Long had made all the arrangements and was about to go to bed, but before going to sleep, a thought that he had never noticed before suddenly flashed through his mind.
"Master, your appearance seems to have remained the same over the years?!"
Remembering that Li Yunze's face was still the same as when he first saw it, Zu Long immediately got up from the bed, scaring the eunuchs and maids to tremble and thinking that something big had happened.
"this..."
Zu Long frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more something was wrong.
After so many years, it seems that Taifu has never changed.
If this is true, then the Taifu taught himself mathematics, physics, chemistry and science, and also said that no one can escape birth, old age, illness and death, isn't he lying to himself?
The more he thought about it, the more something was wrong. Zu Long felt no sleep at all. After walking around the palace with bare feet for a few times, he immediately ordered Zhao Gao.
