Ma Yun has not been involved in political affairs for a long time. She feels that after so many years, Liu Xin can take charge of her own business, and there are so many capable people and wise men. There is no need for her to continue to make suggestions. She will now focus more on the business of Dahan Bank.
In terms of development and children's education, Ma Yun has another more important reason for doing this. She knows that Liu Xin will one day reach the once unattainable position, and she does not want to leave the hidden danger of the harem intervening in politics.
However, seeing Liu Xin always frowning, Ma Yun couldn't help but ask: "What happened? Can't even Jushu and the others come up with a solution?"
Liu Xin sighed and said nothing, but handed the two pieces of urgent military information to Ma Yun. In Liu Xin's view, it was not that Jushou and the others couldn't come up with good ideas, but that they didn't bother to think about it at all. Because Jushou and the others
Like the feudal lords in various parts of the country, they all included themselves in the upper class of society, and the ordinary people were just common people in their eyes. Even Kuai Liang, who advocated benevolence and righteousness in governing the country, would not put these people down very much.
In the heart.
However, Liu Xin, who comes from later generations, is very clear that even if these common people are not regarded as resources that can provide taxes, money and food, the common people cannot be bullied. Under certain circumstances, the energy they burst out is enough to overthrow any seemingly powerful person.
of dynasty.
After reading the two emergency military reports, Ma Yun frowned and said, "Husband, do you want to rescue all these people from the south of the Yangtze River?"
Liu Xin nodded and said: "Yes, it has already entered the severe winter. If we don't find a way to resettle these refugees, many people will die of cold and starvation. If we can move all of them to Jiangnan, Jiangnan is a vast area with sparsely populated areas."
The dilemma can be easily solved. Unfortunately, such a thing that has the best of both worlds is blocked by the Yangtze River."
Ma Yun suddenly laughed and said: "Everything must be viewed from two aspects. The Yangtze River blocks the way for these fleeing people to move south, but it is not entirely a bad thing."
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the north has been the economic, cultural and political center of the entire Chinese nation. People living in the north have a natural sense of superiority and are unwilling to take the initiative to move to the south. Therefore, except for those people who originally lived in the south,
, only some people who have committed crimes will be exiled to the south. Now these Xuzhou people are really desperate, and they will think of fleeing to the south. The opportunity to increase the population of the south in this way does not happen often. If this time
Because the Yangtze River blocked the road, they were unable to go south. I'm afraid they would never have such an opportunity again in the future, unless Liu Xin unified the world in the future and ordered the people in the north to be forcibly moved to the south. But in that case, it would inevitably
Arouse the resentment of the people.
Therefore, Liu Xin did not quite understand what Ma Yun said, and pondered: "If you miss this opportunity, it will be more difficult to increase the population in the south in the future. How can this be a good thing?"
Indeed, in history, the massive increase in the population in the south began with the Five Hus rebellion in the late Western Jin Dynasty. Many Han people who originally lived in the north had no choice but to move across the Yangtze River. However, within ten years, Liu Xin's mentality completely changed. He could not
As for that extraordinary thief, his goal is not only to end the disputes in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he also wants to make the entire Han nation the most powerful nation in the world, and will never tolerate repeated invasions by foreigners like in history.
He would not allow such situations as Wu Huanhua and others to be humiliated. Only by doing this could he live up to his time in this world.
Ma Yun said: "As long as these people are brought to the south of the Yangtze River, if they want to return to their hometown in the future, the Yangtze River will also be a roadblock in front of them. And after they live in the south of the Yangtze River for one or two generations, I am afraid that they will probably
Most people will be content with the status quo and no longer think about returning to the north. Isn't this a good aspect for the stability and development of Jiangnan?"
This is indeed the case. Cai Yong's family had been exiled in the south for many years. However, as soon as they were granted amnesty, they immediately returned to the north. And these people were forced to flee to the south of the Yangtze River. Once the north became increasingly peaceful, who would
How can we guarantee that they will not find ways to return to their hometowns? If there is really a wave of large numbers of refugees returning home, it will seriously affect local production and social stability, both in the south and the north. So, from this perspective, there are
The Yangtze River is blocking it, so as long as we control the ships, we can completely avoid this situation.
Although Liu Xin didn't read much, he was not stupid. After Ma Yun's prompting, he naturally figured out the joints, but that was a matter for the future. Now he had to solve the predicament in front of him. He couldn't help but said with a wry smile: "You have to think about it too."
There is a way to get them across the river."
Ma Yun glanced at Liu Xin and said, "Husband, you should have heard of the Dunkirk evacuation?"
Liu Xin nodded and said, "I've heard of it. But what does this have to do with me?"
Ma Yun rolled her eyes at him and said: "Facing the vast English Channel and facing the three-dimensional pursuit of the Germans by land, sea and air, the British still evacuated more than 300,000 people from France to the UK to prepare for the final counterattack.
You have gained strength. But what you are facing now is just the Yangtze River, and there are no chasing troops behind these people. Is it still more difficult than the British back then?"
Liu Xinpo suddenly woke up and said repeatedly: "Wife, you have said too much! Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as there are people who are willing. Now it is not a matter of whether I can bring these people to the south of the Yangtze River, but whether I have the confidence to dare to do so.
I don’t dare to make this decision!”
At this time, Mi Zhu was already a little worried by the Guangling River.
He was the official appointed by Liu Xin to be in charge of refugee affairs in Xuzhou, and he was from Xuzhou. He was kind-hearted, so he naturally hoped to complete the task successfully. However, things went against his wishes, because he stayed in Wu County for more than half a month.
, they only accepted a total of more than 100,000 people who had escaped from the disaster, and in addition to the more than 100,000 people who had originally heard that only Zuo Rong had brought them from Pengcheng to live in Guangling, the situation here was seriously underestimated.
When he saw so many people rushing over at once, Mi Zhu was dumbfounded and at a loss. Thanks to Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong, both of whom were great leaders in governing the world, they managed to build several buildings along the Guangling River.
Camp, where the people can temporarily settle down and wait for the boat to pick them up.
However, the carrying capacity of the five hundred merchant ships and fishing boats is limited, and they can only sail during the day. They dare not cross the river at night. As a result, they can only transport more than ten thousand people every day, and they gather on the river.
There are more and more people on the border. In four days, the number has reached 800,000, and more and more people are rushing here.
In fact, the fighting in Xuzhou has temporarily subsided. Normally, there would not be so many people fleeing. However, because Cao's army burned, killed, looted, and left a scorched earth, if these people returned to their hometowns, they would not even have a roof over their heads.
There was no place to live, let alone food and clothing. After Guangling was pillaged by Zuo Rong, the people here were also facing the same dilemma. If these people wanted to survive, they had only two ways to go.
One way is to count on the local government to come forward to organize disaster relief.
Of the five counties in Xuzhou, Cao Cao now occupies three. What he lacks the most is money and food. Not to mention his temperament of "I would rather let the world betray me than let the world betray me." How could he care about the lives and deaths of these people?
?
Xiapi County is still in the hands of Liu Bei. He is the nominal shepherd of Xuzhou. It is his job to rescue the victims. He also wants to help these people. Doing so will not only gain a good reputation but also stabilize the country.
His status in Xuzhou is very beneficial. However, he does not have the ability, because he no longer has the extra money and food to relieve so many victims. Otherwise, he would not let Guan Yu abolish the army.
Xuzhou's army would not entrust Cao Bao with important tasks just because he donated some money and food.
As for Guangling County, it is currently in a state of anarchy. Who will come forward to help the victims?
As a result, the millions of victims in Xuzhou had only one way to go, and that was to go to the refugee camp and accept resettlement in Mi Zhu. Because Yuan Shu blocked the road to Jiangxia, these people had no other choice but to cross the river south via Guangling.
.
Facing more and more refugees, the Yangtze River rolling eastward has become a narrow bottleneck on the entire migration path. In order to speed up the refugees' crossing the river, Mi Zhu has gone to Gan Ning more than once, hoping that he would use the navy's force.
Ships came to transport these Xuzhou people. Mi Zhu, who had always been good-tempered, even had a few quarrels with Gan Ning because of this incident, but Gan Ning was determined not to be moved and refused to let these ordinary people board the navy ships no matter what.
Ship. Because Gan Ning knew very well that there were many secrets on these navy ships, which were the result of the hard work of countless craftsmen at the research institute and Jiangling Shipyard. Once leaked, Gan Ning would not be able to atone for his sins even if he died a hundred times.
However, Gan Ning did not ignore the life and death of these people. Seeing more and more people gathering in the north of the Yangtze River, he dispatched more soldiers from the navy to maintain order and sent additional ships to patrol the river day and night.
Protect the safety of merchant ships and fishing boats transporting people. Moreover, the food and medicines urgently needed by the people gathered in Jiangbei were all transported from Wu County by Navy ships, and a large part of them came from Shuizhou.
It was allocated from the army's own supplies. Because of this, Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao and others were still polite to Gan Ning, and did not completely fall out with him because he refused to use navy ships to transport refugees.
Another day has passed, and the number of people gathered on the riverside has reached one million. The river beach is full of dark crowds. There are not so many tents, and the people can only huddle together to keep each other warm and resist the severe cold.
The wind. Although the people can temporarily fill their stomachs with the large amounts of food transported by the navy, diseases caused by the severe cold will inevitably spread among the people. Walking in the camp, you can encounter stray people everywhere.
A patient with a runny nose and a loud cough.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Zhao couldn't help but sigh and said to Zhang Hong: "Zigang, it is because of us that so many people who suffered from military disasters gathered here. If there is another big epidemic after the big disaster, you can
I will become a sinner throughout the ages. It is not possible to continue like this, I have to think of a perfect solution."
Zhang Hong also had a serious look on his face, and suddenly he heard Mi Zhu running over excitedly, holding a letter in his hand, and said loudly: "Two gentlemen, there is a letter from my lord!"
"Oh, what did your lord say?" Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong blurted out the question almost subconsciously, completely forgetting that they were not officials under Liu Xin at all.
Mi Zhu was in the midst of joy and did not notice anything wrong with what they said. He said excitedly: "My lord has ordered us to organize a grand retreat from Guangling!"
