When the old farmer talked about the happy land, Xu Miao couldn't help but think of Xinzheng half a year ago, and there were many people who had such dreams.

But now, those people are afraid that their dreams have been shattered, and there is nothing he can do, at least not now.

Exhaled a few breaths, letting the irritability that suddenly swayed in his heart dissipate, Xu Wan asked, "How many people are relocated this time?" ”

The old farmer said: "There are more than 30,000 households." They were all moved in batches, and at the beginning some were drawn by lot, and they moved to various villages and communities in Sishang, and many villages and communities lacked people and went to directly have land. If we didn't win the lottery, we were going to Huaishui. ”

30,000 households, Xu estimated nearly 200,000 immigrants.

Fortunately, the Mo family has really carried out several major projects in recent years, such as the Surabaya irrigation project, such as the tens of thousands of troops marching in line with the First World War, such as the project of dredging the ditch, etc., otherwise these 200,000 immigrants would definitely have a cold, starvation and famine.

Sishang has always been short of people, if compared to other places, it seems that the population of Sishang has been enough, but now Sishang is like a bottomless pit, as if another million people can not fill it.

In order to get people, they instigated to flee, ransom slaves from various countries, and transport "long-term labor" trade from further afield in the South China Sea...... Almost everything that works has been used.

Merchants could not buy land in other countries, and it was difficult to guarantee the interests of merchants except Sishang. Sishang could guarantee the interests and private property of merchants, but the land of the village community could not be bought, and the wasteland was useless if no one bought it, so this led to the intensification of the "long-working" trade in the South China Sea.

Several places directly under the jurisdiction of the South China Sea have been regarded as part of the "Zhuxia", but some small states further south are not, and the influence of the Mohists is different from that along the Jishui coast - there is still slavery, the states conquest, buy more firearms, and capture more slaves and sell them to Sishang as indentured laborers.

The Mo family turned a blind eye before, and Xu Miao knew that this enlarged meeting would also discuss this issue, and some people proposed to consider whether this matter was in line with the morality of the Mo family.

All kinds of issues can be said to emerge one after another, and there are too many things to discuss at this enlarged meeting.

Even Xu Miao had a hunch that this time the morality of the Mo family might be revised to find rationality for the existence of some things, and some morality might be reinterpreted; Some of the policies that were originally ambiguous in the dark may also be legislated.

Everyone has their own opinion on these things, and it is impossible to say whether it is right or wrong, and it is impossible to be completely consistent without going through synonymous meetings.

Even the Mo family, which is now known for its strict organization, still has various factions openly active inside.

When Xu Miao was about to ask something more, a fast horse came and shouted from afar: "But comrades who have returned from Xinzheng? There is an urgent order. ”

Xu Miao told the old man that he had something, and hurried back, and his name was on the urgent order.

After the herald left, Xu Miao looked at the order and said to himself, "Hurry back to Pengcheng?" But what's the matter? ”

…………

A few days later, Pengcheng.

After Xu Miao and Shi made a hand salute, after listening to Shi's praise about his choice of a new city wall to defend in Xinzheng, his heart was quite mobile.

Speaking of which, he is also an old qualified ink master, although he is a generation later than this group of people, but after all, he joined the Mo family when it was in its infancy.

But he has basically been outside all these years, and with the death of some old Mo people in the Mo family, he is already considered an old qualification, but he rarely stays in Sishang, and most of the time is in the field.

Such as Fei and Zheng, there is really little contact with the suitable.

There were a few people who came with Xu Weak, a few of whom Xu Weak didn't know, but they had heard the name, and they were all young people who could be regarded as the number one in the Mo family.

After sitting down, Xu Xiao was a little nervous in his heart.

I was not nervous, but I felt a little emotional, according to normal history, Xu Xiao had died in Yangcheng this year, for the authority and moral inheritance of the Mo family.

But now, Xu Miao is intact in front of Shi.

Xu Miao thought that he was going to ask about Xinzheng, but he didn't want to say: "Calling you here today can be regarded as the general I ordered, and I agreed to it after a meeting." You know about Anlu, right? ”

Xu was stunned, seemed to understand what was going on, and nodded: "I know." ”

Just before the Battle of Yinyang, an uprising broke out in Anlu of the Chu State, and news of this had already spread when the King of Chu was still in Chendi.

The rebels were mainly local farmers, and some of the down-and-out nobles who came into contact with some Mohist doctrine and peasant doctrine.

At that time, not to mention the capture of Anlu City, he also burned the usury contracts of many nobles, as for the follow-up situation, Xu Qiao didn't know.

An Lu was next to Yun Mengze, which was still extremely majestic at this time, and it was the easiest place to hide, there were originally many fugitives hiding there, and some people who had committed crimes in Chu were also in Yun Mengze.

The geographical location of Anlu is very important, backed by Dabie Mountain Tongbai Mountain, north of Sanguan, south of Yunmeng, can be made of Hubei, west to Jingxiang.

If this place can be controlled, or at least some of the local forces can be retained to operate there, even if it is temporarily occupied for the king to cultivate the land, it will be extremely important for the future.

Xu Miao is a candidate to be valued, mainly because of the unexpected adaptability shown in the Xinzheng incident.

Seeing that Xu Wan knew about this, he gave a general introduction to the information he got a few days ago.

"The situation now is a bit complicated. This matter must be suppressed by the Chu State, after all, once this kind of head is opened, it will be unstable everywhere. Coupled with the counterattack of the local nobles, I don't think Anlu can support it for long. ”

"There are our people in it, and there are some people who believe in us. This time it happened suddenly, I thought about it, you people are very good candidates, so I urgently transferred you back and rushed to Anlu as soon as possible. ”

"Huaishui to Hangou, take the Yangtze River, follow those trade ships to Yunmeng, and the local comrades will pick you up after you go."

Xu Wei frowned, this was not the same as the way he used to move.

In the past, whether it was in Fei or Xinzheng, he was active in the city, and in addition to the vast township where the Mo family controlled Si, the most extensive activities in Sishang were those cities.

Controlling the cities, basically controlling some of the vassal states at this time, the vast rural population could not become the soldiers of the princes of various countries, and it was difficult to put the grassroots rule in place.

Although Anlu was once controlled by those rebellious farmers, it couldn't hold it at all, and the Chu army could almost be said to be defeated.

Xu Miao's intention was to let them move in Yunmengze, and he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

After listening to Shishi, Xu Miao said with some unconfidence: "Giant, I'm afraid that I won't be able to do well." ”

Shi Yi smiled: "It's okay, no one can say that you have done a good job at this time." We have been active in the city for all these years, and there is a first time for everything. Didn't we do it at the beginning when we armed a side in Sishang? ”

He was also telling the truth, the situation at this time was destined to be unrealistic to carry out rural uprisings within the control of the princes. It is possible to engage in the form of "preaching and the uprising of the 36 parties, and the yellow sky is local", but it is absolutely impossible to gain a firm foothold.

Therefore, in fact, there is no one in the Mo family who has this kind of experience now, and the situation in Sishang is different from the current situation in An Lu; Hanzhong is not the same; Gao Yanagi is even more different, each with its own situation.

Shi Dao: "You people, some of you have the ability to change on the spot, some of you have a deep understanding of morality, and some of you have a reputation in the Chudi market. ”

"Yun Mengze is different from other places. It is close to the capital of Chu, and it is also the place where the king of Chu patrols and hunts, and it is surrounded by feudal kings, so it can be said that it is impossible to make a situation in Nanzheng, Yunzhong, Sishang, and the South China Sea there. ”

"So it's going to be a different approach, a different way. Of course, money, weapons, equipment, and all kinds of paraphernalia will be provided as much as possible. In any case, it is simpler than the situation in Sishang at the beginning. ”

The Mo family or the caravans that had various connections with the Mo family traveled across the Chu country, and Yunmengze was an important hub for communicating the east, west, north and south of the Chu country, and the tributaries of the rivers converged, so it can be said that it was the easiest to support there.

"In Yunmengze, there are a lot of lake thieves. There were some fierce men, some fugitive farmers and fishermen, and some knights who committed crimes in the city to escape their enemies. The situation is extremely complicated. ”

"I sent you there this time, one is to ask you to strengthen the strength of those Anlu people's righteous teachers who have retreated into Yunmeng; the second is to integrate the local bandit armies; Three...... It is to be a thief of the river of righteousness. ”

Xu Miao exclaimed: "River thieves? ”

Shi nodded and said: "Use the swampy lake, deal with the Chu master, contact the local fleeing and hidden people, and cultivate and plant on the island in the middle of the lake." Do not rob merchant ships, only those ships of the Chu people. Those who have made great contributions to the feudal monarchs of the Chu State have the right to pass trade tax exemptions, and the ships come and go, which is not too many, and they are all the people's fat and people's ointment. ”

"Jiangbei continues to Anlu, it is all swamps, and it is difficult for the army to travel. If there are few troops, they will fight, and if there are many troops, they will retreat, and use the terrain to gain a firm foothold there. ”

"The South China Sea and the Vietnamese can support you with merchant ships. There will be no shortage of weapons, salt and iron, and even warships will not be lacking. This time, in addition to you people, there are also some elite sailors who are trained in the boat, and they will also go. ”

This time, it was not just so much that was sent to Yunmeng, but almost copied a "county" level government agency in the past.

In addition to some elite Xiliu boat masters, there are agricultural officials, teachers, blacksmiths, carpenters, leathermen, and so on. Of course, there will not be too many troops, about 200 Xi Liushui divisions, more than 100 elite infantry, and more than 300 cadres who can speak Chu language, including some well-known figures in the Chu market.

This is not only for the sake of future layout, but also an attempt, an attempt to divide the regime from another kind of secession outside of Yunzhong, Sishang, Nanzheng and the South China Sea.

After a lot of advice, Shi finally said: "Actually, it can be summed up in just a few words. ”

"Suppress the heroes, collect the dead, build cities and reclaim famine, strictly enforce discipline, spread morality, do not attack cities, build political power, focus on politics, and use the army as a supplement."

"Under the feudal system, as long as you don't attack the city, the feudal lord will not care about you. It is not possible for a large army to go out to encircle and suppress you, and under your activities, those exiles will have a place to go, and more and more people will go from village to township and township to town. When it becomes a city, the world will be safe. ”

Xu Miao wrote them down one by one, and finally Shi seemed to think of something again, and said with a smile: "I heard that there are a lot of crocodiles and rhinoceros there." Organize the people to hunt crocodiles and rhinoceros, one is to eliminate the people's pests, and the other is to trade. Now the tiger and crocodile have been almost killed, but they have not been seen for many years. ”
