Wang Zongze was the head of the Hou Guya Inner Army of the Yiwu Army, and he was very unfortunate that although he insisted on the last in Li Quanzhong's surprise attack on the Yiwu Army, the Jieshuai was killed, and the last had to obey the order of the tooth general to abandon his weapons and surrender. However, he was also very lucky, all the officers of the Yiwu Army above the capital level were directly executed by Li Quanzhong after the war, he happened to be the head of the capital, and all the officers above his rank were executed, and he saved his life with the same rank and below.

Originally, after Wang Zongze surrendered, seeing that Li Quanzhong, the new commander of the Yiwu Army, did not kill them, it is estimated that Li Quanzhong still intends to keep them. He also thought about it, and it took ten years to carry soldiers and eat this severed head meal with knives, and there have been many generals and commanders over the years. He has beaten Pang Xun and crusaded against Li Keyong, and he can be regarded as experienced, and he has been a soldier for ten years, and he has finally become a commander of 100 people.

Wang Zongze didn't have much opinion on who to give his life to, even if he knew that the current rebellion in the four towns of Hebei was made, if he was a soldier for Li Quanzhong, it would mean that he would become a rebel. But he doesn't think it has anything to do with it, life in troubled times is like grass. After ten years as a soldier, he didn't know what else he could do besides being a soldier and carrying a gun and eating food? He has no land, no land, no craftsmanship and capital to trade, seeing that the world is becoming more and more chaotic, what else can he do except be a soldier?

However, after more than two months of training in a prisoner camp in Dingzhou, he was suddenly escorted on the road today.

At first, everyone thought that they were going to be divided into battalions. Later, it was seen that the frame was not right at all, and then many people were worried that Li Quanzhong might have to execute them. Wang Zongze smiled, but he wasn't worried about this at all. Although human life is as cheap as a dog in troubled times, veterans like them. Especially not a tooth soldier. But it is also a valuable asset. No one is willing to kill them easily.

After three days of walking, they finally reached the Hutuo River, where a fleet of boats was waiting for them. And when they arrived here, they found that it was not only their 3,000 tooth soldiers who were escorted, except for the 3,000 Yiwu soldiers left from the last battle, it seemed that almost all the other Yiwu soldiers were also escorted, and the number was seven or eight thousand. Also on the banks of the river farther away. There were many more, but they were not soldiers, but civilians. There are men, women and children, Wang Zongze soon found that these are the families of the soldiers of the original Yiwu Army, and even many of them are the families of the powerful and powerful businessmen of the original Yiding Erzhou.

But at this time, these people were tied into a long string by rope, and stood on the bank of the river and shivered in the north wind.

Wang Zongze's heart was dark, he didn't expect such a result.

Li Quanzhong actually rushed to kill them all, and wiped out the generals and soldiers in the original Yiding two prefectures and the local eunuchs and merchants with status. Lift the clan up. What is he going to do here, doesn't he want Yiding Erzhou?

He couldn't figure it out. No matter how powerful a warlord is, he can't do that.

He suddenly became at a loss in his heart, and he didn't know where Li Hezhong was going to load them on the ship?

Outside Wuji City on the north bank of the Hutuo River in Dingzhou, Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong stood there, looking at the river bank from a distance. watched as many people jumped off the fleet, counted the escorted people and loaded them onto the ship one by one.

"Dashuai, are you really going to sell all the original Yiwu army?" Liu Rengong asked in a deep voice.

Li Quanzhong and Liu Rengong were originally subordinates of Li Maoxun's father and son, but now, Li Quanzhong relied on the original alliance with Liu Yue to betray Li Keju, coupled with this raid on Yiding Erzhou, and finally owned the land of Yidingying Sanzhou and became the new commander of the Yiwu Army. And Liu Rengong was assigned to Liu Yue's subordinates, but he also officially owned the territory of Mozhou.

If he could, Li Quanzhong would not be willing to sell this Uehara Yiwu Army. Originally, he killed the officers above the capital head, and the rest of the people planned to be trained for a period of time, and then dispersed into his army to increase their strength. However, this time Liu Rengong went to Liaodong to bring back many businessmen, who were engaged in human trafficking, and were willing to exchange canned food, cattle and sheep, potato vermicelli and other materials for character.

The Yiwu Army taken by Li Quanzhong was guarding the Flying Fox Road leading directly to Ulzhou of the Datong Army in Hedong. As a new warlord in a town, Li Quanzhong is not short of soldiers now, what he lacks is ordnance and grain and grass. After discussing with these merchants from Liaodong for a long time, Li Quanzhong thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to arrest the original Yiwu army and his family members, as well as the ten wealthy merchants who refused to submit to him sincerely, and then trade with the merchants of Liaodong in exchange for those grains and even arrows and armor.

10,000 original Yiwu troops, including 3,000 tooth soldiers and 7,000 town soldiers. Two thousand cavalry, eight thousand infantry. Li Quanzhong sold them, and with these Yiwu troops who were originally loyal to the imperial court, Li Quanzhong was always worried that they would turn back when the imperial court attacked. Now exchange them for important supplies, the trouble is saved, and what you need is also obtained.

10,000 soldiers, plus their families and a few large clans and merchants who refused to serve, all added up, a population of 50,000.

Selling 50,000 people at once made him hesitate several times for Li Quanzhong, the envoy of the New Righteous Army.

With a population of 50,000, the cavalry of the Yiwu army was 50 yuan each, the infantry army was 45 yuan, and the town soldiers were 40 yuan each. 10,000 tooth soldiers were sold for 370,000 yuan, which is almost the price of one person and one horse.

The rest of the people, young men are 30 per man, and young women are 20 per man. Fifteen for men who are not yet mature, ten for women, and ten for the elderly.

In the end, these 40,000 people sold 800,000 guan, plus 10,000 soldiers, and 50,000 people sold 1,170,000 guan.

Although the price was very low, the merchants of Liaodong did not pay directly, but paid for the military supplies that Li Quanzhong urgently needed.

Potato vermicelli, yam vermicelli, lotus root flour, fish, beef and mutton, canned poultry, etc., are much cheaper than the market price, and they are completely wholesaled to Li Quanzhong at the factory price. The most important thing was that Li Quanzhong purchased a batch of military supplies from the merchants of Liaodong.

Among them, there are 3,000 sets of iron armor and 10,000 sets of leather armor, although these iron armor and leather armor are only fifty percent new, but they are still rare military supplies. The price offered by the merchants of Liaodong is not high, and fifty percent of the new iron armor is eighty sets, and leather armor is fifty sets. In addition, 20,000 spears and 10,000 horizontal knives were purchased.

Although the most rear, the two are combined. Li Quanzhong's population of 50,000 was traded to Liaodong merchants. It is also necessary to take out a million yuan to subsidize. But he already felt it was worth it. Moreover, the Liaodong businessman who owed one million dollars did not need him to repay it immediately, but signed an installment contract, which was divided into four quarters within a year. Although he paid in installments and paid 200,000 yuan more in interest at the end, Li Quanzhong felt that it was still good.

After all, he didn't take out a penny, and he got three thousand iron armor. 10,000 leather armor, plus 10,000 knives, and 20,000 spears. Moreover, there is also a lot of food. Besides, he sold 50,000 people, and all the property, fields, houses, etc., of these people also belonged to him. After all the calculations, it's still a good deal.

Originally, he wanted to buy some more bows and crossbows, but unfortunately the merchants of Liaodong said that these were restricted from the sale of weapons.

It was a deal that both parties were very satisfied with, and Li Quanzhong eliminated the risk. The hidden dangers were solved, and a windfall was made. He also received a sum of food and ordnance.

The merchants of Liaodong also made a profit, and those ordnance were just old-fashioned equipment that had been replaced by the Zhenguo Army since the middle of the year. When these equipment were handed over to them, they were not expensive, they sold them to the Hebei Army, and they earned thirty percent as soon as they changed hands, plus the profit from installment payments, it was another one percent. And by exchanging goods for people, these people can make a lot of money when they are sent to Liaodong. Although the king of the county has long had a strict order not to buy and sell human beings. But in fact, Liaodong has a huge demand for population, and it is difficult to find people for various workshops and other recruitment, and they have to pay a large amount of introduction fees in the end. Of course, the government will give these employers tax rebates and subsidies to encourage them to find ways to bring in more foreign population.

A population of 50,000 is not a small number, and Liaodong merchants chartered a large number of ships to transport them.

Wang Zongze had no family members, and he had long been one person who had fed the whole family and not been hungry, so when he heard the people on the boat tell him that they had been sold to Liaodong by Li Quanzhong, he only sighed in his heart.

However, the young crew member of the ship soon told him the good news that although they were sold by Li Quanzhong, they were not actually slaves. Because of the money they bought, the government in Liaodong would return it to those merchants through tax cuts, tax refunds, and subsidies. Then, when they arrived in Liaodong, they were still free people.

The crew didn't say it very clearly, which made Wang Zongze a little confused, and he couldn't believe it. Although each of them only sold a pony for the price, one of them was also dozens of dollars. How could the king of Liaodong spend such a sum of money to get them away, and then make them freedmen?

He couldn't figure this out, but the people on the ship were really good to them, and Wang Zongze, his colleagues and subordinates were not mistreated in any way. Not only can they eat enough, but no one beats or scolds them. Even on the ship, because he was the head of the capital, he was entrusted with the management of the people on this ship.

The hundreds of people on this ship stayed below deck, and Wang Zongze and the ship's crew and caravan stewards stayed at the bow of the ship. The merchants did not tie him up, but were very polite to him, and even answered his questions seriously.

The huge fleet drove all the way to the northeast, and after leaving the territory of the Yiwu Army, it entered the territory of Youzhou. However, after the Lu Longjun along the coast saw the fleets of these Liaodong merchants, no one came up to check at all, and let them go all the way north, and finally sailed into the sea.

After Wang Zongze got along with the crew of the caravan on the ship these days, he already understood and believed that they were not going to Liaodong to be slaves, not to build roads and cities, or to do hard labor in mining. According to the caravan, after they arrived in Liaodong, they would arrange different jobs according to their respective skills. Not only do they have a high salary, but even as long as they work for a certain period of time, those who perform well can also be granted land, and if they don't have a wife, the government will even help introduce them to a wife.

He told his men in the cabin about it, but few of them wanted to believe it. Based on past experience, if the defeated prisoners could not be integrated into the army, then the following days would definitely be miserable. Under normal circumstances, they will be sent to the military camp to farm, or go to the mine to mine, and nine out of ten people will die of exhaustion.

After a few days at sea, the fleet followed the coast to Liaodong Bay, and then went up the river along the mouth of the Liao River and entered the Liao River. After a few more days of traveling, the fleet finally came to a halt on a large pier.

As soon as the ship stopped, the merchant on the ship shouted loudly: "Liaodong City has arrived!" ”

To the surprise of Wang Zongze and his subordinate soldiers of the Yiwu Army, they were greeted neither by the army who had come to take over the escort, nor by the guards of the caravan.

Li Jing, the king of Andong County in Liaodong City, personally brought a large number of civil officials and military generals to greet these piglets who were sold by Li Quanzhong. At one time, 50,000 Han Chinese migrated to Liaodong. This is for the entire Liaodong region. They were all very shaken.

"Brothers are hungry, aren't they?" After Li Rang led people to count the number of people, he wrote a document for the caravan. Then with a smile on his face, he brought a steaming meal with many people.

The food prepared is very rich, not only fresh river fish, seafood, but also rice, egg drop soup, and even a ten-pound camping canned food for every ten people, as soon as it is opened, it is oily braised pork pieces. "Let's eat!"

Wang Zongze looked at the tall white rice piled up in the bowl in front of him in a daze, this was obviously the new rice that had just been harvested. Then I looked at the big can of braised pork in front of me, which weighed at least ten catties.

The other people around were also in a daze, Wang Zongze stretched out his hand and rubbed it on his thigh, and a burst of pain came, this is not a dream! Many tents have been set up in the open space on the wharf, and more than 50,000 people get off the boat to have a hot meal here to stabilize their minds before arranging for them to register.

Many people are pinching their faces. Pinching the legs, pinching the legs, are immersed in the incredible.

King Andong himself came to meet their slaves. The food provided was even better than what some officers and landlords had eaten in the past, and it was not like receiving prisoners, but like welcoming the triumphant soldiers.

After Li Jing destroyed Goguryeo, in order to stabilize the situation in Liaodong, he implemented an important plan, that is, to move all the Goguryeo people to Ziqing Peace, Ji, Tan, and Pingping, and mainly to move them to the land of Ziqing Qidenglai Five Prefectures. Then the Han people from Ziqing, Qidenglai and other places, and the Han people recruited from other places were relocated to the Liaodong region.

However, when this plan was implemented, although the relocation of the Goguryeo people from the Liaodong region to the Central Plains was relatively smooth, there were originally more than one million Hu people of various ethnic groups in the land of Liaodong, and now even if only the Goguryeo people are moved first, there will be a million fewer people at once. Liaodong was originally sparsely populated, missing these millions of people, except for the southern Liaoning region, now the entire Liaodong is empty everywhere, and even Liaodong City, the center of Liaodong, is only tens of thousands of people left.

Li Jing made a simple plan, according to the area of Liaodong, if he wanted to completely control Liaodong and turn it into the territory of the Han people, at least the ratio of Han and Hu must be controlled at 64 or even 73. He needed to emigrate one to two million people to Liaodong in order to realize the dominance of the Han people in Liaodong and have the strength to start the northeast.

To stabilize Liaodong, he must garrison 100,000 troops in Liaodong.

He also had to open mines, build roads, build cities, and, most importantly, reclaim more land in Liaodong, so that Liaodong could produce grain for more than 2 million people, and avoid the trouble and high cost of supplying it from outside.

Everything needs to be a large population.

After the destruction of Goguryeo, Li Jing not only did not solve the 'labor shortage' and 'population shortage', but exacerbated the situation even more.

It was precisely because of such a strong demand for population, especially the needs of the Han people, that Li Jing had to half-covertly support Li Rang's new plan, that is, to let the caravans return to find a way to bring back the population. As long as they bring people back, the government will buy their slaves who are not slaves in disguise through tax cuts, tax refunds, subsidies, etc. Even with this huge amount of expenditure, it is necessary to close the gap in this population.

Originally, this batch of equipment was intended to be replaced to equip the township troops, but now, a large part of it has been used as a special population trade with Hebei towns and even other towns in the Central Plains.

Therefore, after hearing that the caravan sent had successfully made a deal with Li Quanzhong with a population of 50,000, Li Jing couldn't help but be excited.

"Big meat buns, eat them with you!" On the wharf, a merchant dressed in silk arrived with a group of men, and the gongs were struck with a loud sound, and a load of steaming meat buns was placed in the makeshift camp. This is the owner of a large fleet on the Liaohe River, specializing in the transportation of the Liaohe River, which has just been opened. When I heard that so many young people had arrived in Liaodong, I immediately rushed to recruit workers.

"Chairman Zhang, you're too inauthentic." Another group of people arrived, but these were the contractors who contracted several important roads under construction in Liaodong, and they needed more manpower to build the roads.

There was still a lot of contention here, and businessmen arrived over there, "Come to our steel mill!" The boss of the steelmaking mill slapped Wang Zongze on the shoulder eagerly, "Eat four meals a day, rice at once, and two meals with meat in the morning and evening every day, even if it is an apprenticeship, there are two yuan per month, and there are bonuses for learning quickly!" ”

Seeing that Wang Zongze still seemed to be too little, the boss hurriedly added, "In Dengzhou, you can buy 400 catties of white rice for two yuan, eat and live for a month, and earn a year's worth of rice for a month during the apprenticeship." If you are out of the teacher, just a first-level technician, you will increase your salary by 1,000 yuan a month, and if you become a ninth-level master, you will get a high salary of 100,000 yuan a month. ”

More merchants heard the news and came like cats that smelled fishy.

Not only did the businessmen rush here, but the officials of the new prefectures and counties in eastern Liaoning also came with their civil servants all the way, offering many preferential conditions to attract these new immigrants to settle in their own prefectures and counties.

"Go to Shencheng, regardless of men and women, Chengding will share 100 acres of land per person, even if it is not Chengding, the middle man and woman will also share 50 acres, and the government will also rent cattle and horses, rent seeds, and provide loans!" A seven-rank Shencheng county magistrate wearing a green official robe stood on the bustling pier like the New Year, completely ignoring the identity and image of the officials, and loudly promoted the benefits of settling in the county to these new immigrants.

The arrival of 50,000 people makes the wharf of Liaodong City as lively as the Shangyuan Festival.

The state and county governments and caravans all rushed to recruit workers and grab people, and the scene was as fierce as a battle.

From the elation at the beginning, it quickly turned into a sword rattling.

In order to rob people, many bosses even broke out into small-scale violent conflicts, and in one day, dozens of bosses brawls occurred.

The next day, Xie Cheng, a merchant from Yuezhou, sailed into the Liaodong wharf with ten huge Mingzhou ships, and at first the merchants thought that another group of strong competitors had arrived. As a result, they were pleasantly surprised to find that this Yuezhou businessman, Boss Xie, actually brought 30,000 people from western Zhejiang at one time.

Suddenly, countless businessmen flocked to the ship, and soon blocked these Zhejiang people who had not yet come and disembarked on the ship! (To be continued......)
