Chapter 309: Nanchang

The emperor's impure life, what is the shock of the people?

The people were scattered and lost each other, and Fang Zhongchun moved eastward.

Go to your hometown and go far away, follow the Jiangxia to exile......

This is Qu Yuan's "Lamentation", a Jiazi ago, the Chu State was forced to move eastward, and the local Yingdu Chu people held this mentality and embarked on the road of exile.

In the autumn and August of the twenty-fifth year of the reign of King Qin, in the same place, Jiangling in Nanjun, there were hundreds of people with the same idea.

Two or three thousand men and women stood on the wharf, their faces full of sorrow, they kept looking back at Gangneung, looking at Nangun, but finally they were helplessly forced by the soldiers, boarded the long and narrow boat, and crowded into the cabin in silence.

"Where are we going?"

There was a middle-aged son-in-law who hugged his wife and son and asked the next posterity.

The latter looked lean, seventeen or eighteen years old, he raised his eyes: "It is said that I went to Jiangnan and went to a new county called Nanchang." ”

In the chat, the middle-aged son-in-law knew that the name of the later life was "Xing", originally a Chu person, who was deceived by his fellow villagers a few years ago, and followed them to join a tomb robbery gang organized by the Qin people, and dug a grave in Anlu County, but was caught by a pavilion chief named Heifu, and everyone was stolen......

His accomplices were heavily fined, but Dan Xing was only 14 years old at the time, and his height was not enough to be punished, so according to Qin law, he was judged by the judge to be "instigated by others, and his height was less than six feet, and he should be punished lightly and sentenced to hard labor as a hidden official."

So Xing began to live a life of hidden officials in Nanjun, hidden officials are lighter punishments than prisoners, but the work inside is not easy, plus Xing is a Chu person, bullied.

And there is no hope for his future, and when he becomes an adult, it is difficult to get land, at most he will be a hired farmer, and even go to be a son-in-law.

So when Shouteng in Nanjun was ordered by the King of Qin to recruit hidden officials, prisoners, subordinate concubines, sons-in-law, and merchants to move to Nanchang, Xing took the initiative to express his willingness to join this immigration team.

Immigration, is the old tradition of the Qin State, as early as the Qin Hui King period, with the son of the Zhu Li Disease as the right watch, so that it is the general, attack the Wei State Quwo, after occupying the local area, do their best, take the city, the land into Qin.

At that time, Qin had just gone east, and he did not trust the people of the Sanjin Dynasty who were "unhappy to be Qin", and in order to completely occupy the new area, they often expelled the original residents and moved into their own population. As for the immigrants, they were mainly composed of civilians and criminals, Wei offered Anyi, Qin sent out his people, recruited Hedong to bestow knights, and pardoned sinners to move them.

This time the immigrants also have similar benefits.

"The government said that hired farmers can get land when they go to Nanchang, and they can get freedom if they go to Lichen, and I am a Chu person living in Jiangnan, and this recruitment can be regarded as returning to my hometown."

Xing comforted the uncle who was full of sadness and said: "The son-in-law can also become an ordinary person and re-establish a household registration!" ”

But the son-in-law's family and the others were not happy at all, they would rather make do with Nanjun than go to an unknown land to open up wasteland.

The people on the same boat began to ask Xing all kinds of questions, such as how far it was to go to Nanchang, what the climate was like there, whether there were many wild animals, and whether there were any ready-made houses.

Xing opened his mouth, but he couldn't answer, he was from Odisha and had never been to Jiangxi.

The migrants were even more disappointed, and at this time, the wind and waves on the Yangtze River gradually increased, the boats shook and swayed, the sound of waves hitting the hull, the cries of children, the hoarse coughing, and the sound was loud, and at night, some people were seasick and vomited, and the smell in the cabin was extremely unpleasant......

Their bumps were not until the boat entered Peng Lize, it was a little better, looking at the vast lake in front of them, the people from Nanjun seemed to have returned to the bank of Yunmengze, and their mood began to gradually improve.

But when the Jiujiang River was moored, while washing the dirty clothes on the surface of the water, the boat was dragged into the water by a large tuΓ³ that was more than a foot long, and the lake was dyed red with her screams as she gradually moved away......

The mood of the immigrants was low again, and the fatigue of the journey diluted their only little freshness and expectation, so they silently arrived at the shallow plain and landed, no longer caring about the magnificence of Peng Lize, nor ignoring the strange show of Lushan, they only cared about whether they could get the land promised by the government after arriving at the place, whether they wanted to open up wasteland in a meadow, and shivered in the shack at night and listened to the roar of the wild beasts outside.

The further they went south, the more disappointed they became, compared to Nanjun, the lower reaches of the Ganshui River were too remote and barbaric, and they would not even see a single figure after walking ten miles, and occasionally they met people, and they were also Yangyue people who did not understand Xia Yan, tattooed and broken, standing at the water's edge, looking at the immigrants with obscure eyes.

"In the future, I'm afraid we will have to coexist with snakes and scorpions and coexist with the barbarians." The son-in-law who walked next to Xing was a little desperate, he would rather have his children be sons-in-law for generations than come to such a place.

However, when they walked through a camphor forest and came to the shore of Ganshui, their eyes widened!

I thought that the east bank of Ganshui, which was still a grassy jungle, had a brand new city appear out of thin air!

It is not very large, only four miles square, and the walls are rammed on all sides. The situation inside the city is unknown, but outside the city, in addition to the tight roads, there are rows of barracks and houses, which were occupied by the soldiers and ministers who built the city before, and have now been vacated to wait for the new master to enter.

And those Qin soldiers who wore armor and wore a column, a column of ten, patrolled the water's edge, gave the immigrants a sense of security that had not been seen for a long time.

Heifu's subordinates were originally from Nanjun, and they had been bored here for a few months, and it seemed that many fellow villagers, regardless of their previous identities, greeted them warmly across the Ganshui, and after everyone crossed over, there were hundreds of generals and tun chiefs who arranged soldiers to prepare the first meal for them.

After eating the hot soup and rice after a long absence, and seeing that every family has a small shack that can shelter from the wind and rain, many immigrants have tears in their eyes.

The situation was much better than they had imagined.

"Nanchang, this name is really good, like Nanjun, there is also a south." Some people say that this simple reason seems to make them feel a little more affectionate about their new home.

Xing ate half of it, and was stunned, he looked at a Qin official who was hugged by soldiers and officers to inspect the immigration situation, and was stunned.

The son-in-law, who had already regained hope, pushed him, and only then did he come back to his senses, and excitedly pointed to the back of the Qin official who was far away and said, "The pavilion chief who captured me at that time was him!" ”

The son-in-law hurriedly covered his mouth: "Housheng, don't dare to talk nonsense!" I heard others say that this is the highest local official, the county commander, Sima, and the person who built this Nanchang City! How could it be that the little pavilion chief who arrested you a few years ago, you must have remembered it wrong. ”

"It's him!"

Xing was a little excited, he still remembered that on that cold night after the snow in the moon, he was forced by his comrades to go down to the tomb to search for the Ming Weapon, but the people above were suddenly attacked, and the wind outside was whining, frightening him half to death, and when he hugged his head and cried, it was this person who dragged him up......

"Although his outfit has changed and he has grown a beard, I will never forget that black face and that look!"

……

Heifu did not greet the immigrants one by one, but after a cursory look, he and Zhang Han climbed to the top of Nanchang City to watch the results of their cooperation in the past few months.

Nanchang City is planned in accordance with the construction rules of the "Examination of the Work Record", square, the street is straight, although its interior is small, but it is complete, whether it is the place of the government office, or the soldier's barracks, and even the location that is prepared to be left for the market, there are everything.

Of course, public toilets are also indispensable.

The four walls of Nanchang respectively opened a city gate, the south is called Luling Gate, the west is said to be Tonggan Gate, the east is said to be Fanyang Gate, and the north is called Jiujiang Gate, which are named after the places where their respective directions lead.

The two of them were standing on the Tonggan Gate, looking westward.

Heifu looked at the new city, which suddenly became lively after the arrival of the immigrants, and showed a satisfied smile: "The first batch of immigrants has arrived, and the food for the winter and seeds for next year have also been transported from Nanjun. First take advantage of the autumn and winter farming, build houses outside the city, open up the land, build fences in each area to guard against wild beasts, and wait for more than 2,000 households in the future, and then build a ten-mile Guo. ”

Today is the day when Nanchang was founded, and these immigrants should be the first batch of Nanchang citizens.

Zhang Han said: "Hefu is not afraid that those immigrants who have come here will feel that the weather is hot and unbearable, and they will flee one after another? I heard Zhao Tuo say that similar things happened on the road. ”

changed Zhang Han, even if he was given a hundred hectares of land, he didn't want to come to this hot and humid ghost place for the rest of his life. What's more, there is also the kind of water Gu disease that northerners have never seen, it is terrible to think about it, he was taken by Heifu to see the tragic situation of several infected soldiers, he no longer dared to drink raw water, and stayed away from all wild waters, and even bathed in special boiling water.

"For Qianshou, where can there be less suffering from illness? Besides, who would dare to resist when the government moved the people? ”

Heifu sighed, he was born at the bottom, and he can understand the life of the small people in this era, if it is not really impossible, who wants to leave his hometown?

He knew that similar small-scale immigration had already begun more than ten years ago, at the beginning of Qin Wangzheng's reign, and there were thousands of families who moved to Shu in the case of Chang Yu and LΓΌ Buwei. Nowadays, the remnants of the six countries in the Central Plains are also flocking to Bashu and Jiangnan under the compulsory orders of King Qin.

For example, the Handan Zhuo clan was moved to Bashu, and the Nanyang Wancheng Kong clan also entered Shu. And hundreds of farmers, sons-in-law, and subordinates of Nanjun will also become the first batch of agricultural population in Nanchang City.

In these years, Bashu and Jiangnan were to Qin, just like the Thirteen Colonies and Australia were to Britain.

"Even if some people don't want to, but after ten or twenty years here, after several generations of reproduction, they will also become natives of Nanchang, where is their hometown?"

Heifu patted Zhang Han and said with a smile: "This place of peace is my hometown, the important thing is not the present, but how to live here in the future!" What we have to do is to build a city and a house to protect it from wild beasts, and find a way to cure the water Gu. ”

He is not omnipotent, he can only count on the doctors sent by Xianyang and Nanjun, maybe after knowing the principle, he can find a cure?

Only a few days later, the doctor from Xianyang arrived, but it was Heifu's old acquaintance, Chen Wuyi, who had become addicted to smoking marijuana.

Heifu's report attracted the attention of Qin Wangzheng and the imperial physician Ling Xia Wuhe, but because the north had never seen such a disease, he was still suspicious, so he sent Chen Wuji, who had been promoted to an official doctor, to investigate.

In addition to several doctors, Chen Wuji was accompanied by an envoy of the King of Qin.

He brought good news, and bad news to Hef......
