At the beginning of March, as the spring flowers bloomed, small insects came out of the soil, and a large number of people also appeared on the broken bridge construction site on Guazhou Island, and the cross-river bridge project, which had been interrupted for more than three years, started again.

"Old Seven, you must take good care of them and prohibit all contact with the outside world. Now we are a thorn in the side of the imperial court, and once something happens, the Tokyo Daily will definitely add fuel and vinegar to the hype. I really didn't expect it, they actually opened up, and the martial arts didn't learn to play literature. ”

What appeared with the people was a stout man with a big bald head, Wang Qi came back from Lanzhou, and these people were brought by him. Externally, it is said that it is a people, but in fact, the captives of various ethnic groups in the Western Xia account for the majority.

On the issue of how to deal with the people in the occupied areas, Hong Tao was as cold and vicious as ever. He asked Wang Da and Jiang Erlang to stay in Xingqing Mansion to suppress bandits, and at the same time issued an order that local people must be brought to participate in every battle.

The purpose of this was not to get more information and help, but to cut off the little tendon attached to the broken bones of the locals.

By asking them to help the foreign invaders strangle their own people, it is easy to discern their respective attitudes. Based on these reactions, officers at all levels of the Forces nouvelles would divide the locals into four categories: submissive, probationary, risky, and disobedient.

The first two categories can stay in the local area to continue their lives, or they can keep their belongings and land. Those at risk will be forcibly ransomed for all their property, and they will be incorporated into the engineering corps and sent to Liangzhou for intensive training.

Diao Min was also treated with risky people on the surface, but their destination was not Liangzhou, but the desert hinterland north of Yingli City. Except for children under the age of five, there is only one fate that awaits them, to die in the bunker.

After three months of intensive training in Liangzhou, the engineering units were divided into three groups and escorted by the militia to their final destination.

Some of them will enter the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road, where there are a large number of engineering projects waiting for them to do, not for nothing, pay wages, and allow them to settle down in the local area, but until the conditions for settling in are met, the family can only stay in Liangzhou for residential surveillance.

Some of them will be transported along the Yangtze River to Yaoliu Shazhou, from where they will take a sea boat to Jeju Island and the southeastern coastal states and counties, and the treatment is basically the same as that of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Fourth Road.

Finally, there are the real engineering troops, they are selected to be strong, their families are arranged to settle down on Ganliang Road, and the main force is running around the country with Wang Qi, going wherever they are needed, specializing in key projects.

To put it bluntly, Hong Tao is engaged in a great migration of people. The population of the Western Xia at its peak was roughly about 2 million, fluctuating by 500,000. Why is there such a big discrepancy? It's not that Wang Shi's intelligence work is not meticulous, but even the Western Xia government can't explain clearly.

Its land area is somewhat large compared to its population, and it is mostly desert, except for the three plains where detailed statistics are available, and in most places the small tribes are similar to wandering people, with a very large range of activities, and there is no concept of national borders.

Maybe they will still be grazing in Western Xia this year, and next year they will go to the Liao State or the Uighurs, and there is no way to count them, so they can only guess approximately.

Let's count it at 2 million people, after losing the land west of Liangzhou, the west side was bitten by the Uighurs, and the population was reduced by four or five tens, and there were just over a million left.

Although the number of people killed in the battle of annihilation was less than 100,000, there were too many runs, and to the east and north were all Liao, and only 670,000 people really stayed in the area of Xingqing Mansion, and there were very few Dangxiang clans.

About 200,000 of these border people and border troops surrendered to the Great Song Forbidden Army, and the remaining population in the areas controlled by the new army was at most 500,000, maybe not enough. Of these 500,000 people, Han Chinese account for more than 50 percent, and there are tens of thousands of people of other ethnic groups, and only a few hundred people.

Hong Tao plans to move at least 200,000 non-Han Chinese into the interior of the country in three years, and then attract more Han Chinese from the interior through various preferential policies. In the future, Yinzhou Road will gradually be like Ganliang Road, and the concept of nationality will become weaker and weaker, and finally complete assimilation.

By the way, the area from Yingli City to Xingqing Mansion, which was occupied by the new army, has been renamed, called Yinzhou Road, and Yinzhou, which is being rebuilt.

The imperial court did not formally agree to this arrangement, but it was just like that. The three gates of Yinzhou City have been built, and they are also marked on the map, and the local people can only passively accept it.

The same is true for those of all ethnic groups who come to live in the interior, they do not have the right to choose to live in the same ethnic group, and they will be scattered to various places and slowly integrate into it. The likelihood of preserving the national culture in such an environment is very small and almost negligible.

"I've read their articles, and they're far worse than those of the second sister, Mrs. Zhou, and Mr. Xu, and they're full of empty words, full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, and sage education, but they can't get any accurate data, and it's not as interesting as the first-year students in the college."

Tokyo Daily was established a few years ago, and the founder is quite famous, Xie Liangzuo, a disciple of Cheng Yi, the head of the Luo Party. This person Hong Tao has never heard of, according to the investigation of the Shanchuan Supervision Institute, he is a Jinshi in the eighth year of Yuanfeng, and later served as a county official in several places. But his political performance was mediocre, and he didn't get any attention to Zhao Hao's book, so he simply resigned and went home to study knowledge.

Since Su Shi's resignation, the Luo Party has become increasingly powerful in the DPRK, and Cheng Yi was also summoned by the emperor to give lectures in the palace, and many disciples have also followed into their official careers. Only he came to Kaifeng in cloth clothes and suddenly founded the Tokyo Daily without a sound.

According to Wang Shi, this newspaper is likely to be ordered by the emperor, and it is also used with internal anger money, because Xie Liangzuo's family is not too wealthy, and he has not found that others have a large amount of funding, and the source of funds is very mysterious.

This is actually quite normal, and the use of Tokyo Daily against Fuzhou Daily and Sichuan Daily is the real need of the imperial court and the emperor. Although Pravda often helps the court to speak on the surface, it often fails to get to the point, but gives the truth.

"Don't be careless, in the past, the imperial court didn't pay much attention to public opinion, so your second sister and Mr. Xu could sing and harmonize. Now that the imperial court has their own mouthpiece, their influence cannot be underestimated. ”

Wang Qi is a doer, he doesn't bother to fight, and he doesn't understand these ways. Hong Tao didn't intend to let him understand, but he had to be reminded. It takes skill to control public opinion, and the imperial court has a natural advantage.

Trust in the government is the gene in the bones of the Chinese, and it has never changed since ancient times, and Wang Er and Xu Donglai will not have a good time in the future, forcing the imperial court to use administrative means to suppress those public opinion that is not very popular.

This can be seen from the list of officials recently appointed by the imperial court, which is more inclined to the conservative school of reason. With these people intervening in the court, the Great Song Dynasty will become more and more conservative and closed, and there will be no room for too many thoughts.

If he didn't force the bitterness of singing and harmonizing with the King of Qi, Zhao Hao would not go to this extreme, because it would go against the founding concept of the same rule with scholars and doctors, and it would cause a split in the imperial court.

"No matter how big the influence is, it's not as good as Daddy's bridge, this is a tangible and tangible benefit, whoever walks on the bridge in the future and doesn't miss Daddy's good, let's throw him down!"

Wang Qi still didn't understand, in his opinion, no matter what newspaper or how well the article was done, it was not as practical as a bridge across the river. And he is the builder of this bridge, and he is proud.

"Your second sister and tenth sister's boat will arrive in a few days, so you must pay attention to the idlers around you. The imperial court is peaceful on the surface, but secretly the official government and the imperial city department are watching very closely. ”

This topic can be skipped, and Hong Tao is not here to talk to Wang Qi about the control of public opinion. The promotion society is going to hold a conference again, but the exchange of personnel is a big problem.

At present, the imperial court cannot be allowed to grasp who are its cronies, how can the responsible persons from all over the country secretly arrive at the venue? Wang Qi's construction site is the best cover. Not only are there always ships carrying people and materials in and out here, but the entire construction site is still closed, and reasonable idlers are not allowed to enter.

The person in charge of the promotion club only needs to arrive at the construction site and enter the Yangtze River University through the secret passage, and the venue is the bell tower. Hong Tao is also an expert in this regard, he has never been an underground party, but he has watched a lot of movies and TV in the underground party, and he has never eaten pork or seen a pig run.
