Chapter 625: There Was
Ten ships of the sea were slowly pulled from the dock into the sea.
The seawater is very corrosive, and even after the wooden ship has sailed for two or three years, three or four years, it has to be maintained, the cabin is reinforced, and the tung oil is repainted before it can be launched again.
In ancient times, there was also the ancient way of maintaining the slipway on the boat, which was to lay down the rolling wood, with the help of the tide, and then pull the boat ashore step by step. To this end, Wang Ju also asked the students to study some labor-saving machinery.
If there are more ships, there will be a lot of economic value, and maintenance alone will invisibly boost a large amount of local GDP.
More than four years have passed, under the promotion of Wang Ju, Quanzhou's rich outsiders are unimaginable, strictly speaking, now Quanzhou can approach the level of the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Of course, it does not conform to the objective law of development, and the early stage was purely driven by Wang Ju's windfall income brought by the golden finger. But in the future, we can't fish in the dry water, and this momentum will slow down quickly. But at that time, Wang Ju was no longer in Quanzhou.
But a few people didn't think about the changes in Quanzhou, but watched the people.
With the launch of ten ships, groups of people boarded each ship one after another under the command of the sailors and stewards on the ships, and some of the sailors were sailing, and then quickly left the port of Quanzhou.
"There are still more than 100,000 people in Quanzhou who have not been taken away." Huang Hua said.
"Mellow, next year."
"Next year's Zi'an ......"
"Don't worry, I'll recommend someone to come over when the time comes."
"Jiefu Gong's change of law really hurt the people."
"The same cannot be said for the main reason, but the main reason is the catastrophe, and then the densification of the population. In the end, it is Jiefu Gong's wealth. Failure to do a good job of appeasing. Many people flocked to the city, and by next year, there will be fewer people. ”
"If the imperial court is not afraid, I don't know how many people will move in a year?"
"If the imperial court is not afraid and all of them migrate, at least more than one million people can be moved in a year, and at most ten years, the overseas population can be basically satisfied. But this is a false proposition. If the imperial court is not afraid and the population increases rapidly, the imperial court will send officials to manage, once the officials go to manage, all kinds of wealth, what is the difference with the Central Plains? When the time comes, it will still be attractive to the people of the Central Plains? ”
In fact, in the past few years, Wang Ju has not directly collected money from immigrants, all expenditures are still all kinds of windfall income, and even various subsidies have been made to immigrants, plus his guidance. Therefore, the overseas settlements are steadily expanding. If it were not for this, the people would have left their homes. Even if you leave the Central Plains, then people's hearts will be chaotic, and it is impossible to even manage, let alone grow and develop rapidly.
Moreover, in order to move as many people as possible, the expenses were huge, so that Wang Ju did not have much cash in his hands, on the contrary, he owed more than 900,000 stone rice to the three divisions. There were so many people who came that they had to be fed and drunk, so there was not enough food to be raised.
"But this time it's not a small movement."
"I'm trying to go to Beijing."
A few days after Wang Ju said this, Zhao Ji issued an edict to let him go to Beijing to report on his work.
But it has little to do with this immigrant.
Wang Ju received the edict and immediately said to his concubine Qiongniang: "Let's go back to the capital together, and by the way, we will handle the third brother's family affairs." ”
"I'm worried that the third brother will ......"
"What's wrong with the third brother?"
"The last time the little sister got married, Jun took his mother from the security army, but the third brother has been very cold to his mother, this big wedding, if Jun takes his mother, the third brother will not want to. If you don't take it, you will become Li Ding if you don't get it right in the future. ”
"Concubine, you think too much, the third brother and the two palaces didn't pass the provincial exam, I have seen his studies again, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get into the Jinshi in this life."
"I don't blame you, if it weren't for you mentioning yì, there would be so few places."
"Concubine, don't talk nonsense, spread it, I'm afraid those scholars who fell off the list will all hate me. In fact, it doesn't matter, even if you are a jinshi, with the third brother's schoolwork, most of them are four or five top jinshi, and it is difficult to confer high-ranking officials. It's better to do things with me, and more or less get a freedom. ”
The concubine thought of such a vast territory on the other side of the sea, and she was silent, but how to deal with these territories in the end, the concubine was at a loss when she thought about it.
Wang Ju entered Beijing again.
As soon as he arrived in the capital, he was summoned into the palace by Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji asked him to sit down and said, "Jiaozhi ......"
"Your Majesty, the minister will talk about this Jiaozhi, but please send someone to record it to show the courtiers."
"Okay, then you can talk about it." Zhao Ji said as he snorted at the eunuch on the side.
After the Yongzhou tragedy, the court had different opinions, so let's see how Wang Ju analyzed.
"Your Majesty, the center of gravity of our dynasty has always been in the north, and there are few city defenses in the south, so the initial momentum of Nong Zhigao's rebellion was like a bamboo. Not only Nong Zhigao, but also the Jiaozhi people saw that our troops were empty in the south, although they were not as arrogant as Nong Zhigao, but there were many illegal acts, such as repeated small-scale invasions and plundering, and they were in urgent need of a strong population in their expansion, so they colluded with some lawless barbarian merchants in Guangnan to abduct and kidnap the people of our dynasty and sell them to Jiaozhi as slaves. It's just that the southern government has not paid much attention to it, otherwise it will be another chilling criminal history. ”
Zhao Ji gritted his teeth.
"The minister said that Shen Qi and Liu Yi again, although they had the intention of intersecting toes, it was also that some of the practices of intersecting toes were becoming more and more unscrupulous, but what did they do? Collect the soil and train in your spare time. Teach water warfare. The ban on trade, although this point is slightly controversial, is also because Jiaozhi has sent scouts to enter the country many times over the years to explore the reality of our dynasty, so Shen and Liu banned commerce. Why did the Jiaozhi army know everything about me when it invaded, wasn't it these scouts who inquired? ”
"This ......"
"Your Majesty, Su Mian sacrificed very heroically, but His Majesty and look at Su Mian's Lu Bu, Jiaozhi's Lu Bu, and then look at Su Mian's defense of the Tuding City, how many native soldiers were there in Yongzhou when Jiaozhi invaded? By the way, it seems that when the minister heard that the Khitan envoy had agreed on border matters, Han Qi had written to him, and Su Mian's approach was just like Han Qi's writing. ”
Jiaozhi invaded and slaughtered, but they also justifiably issued a lubu: one is that "the people of the subordinate, those who rebel into China, the officials are allowed to hide." I sent an envoy to appeal to Gui Zhen. not to report; He also sent Oceanwide to sue in Guangzhou, but did not report it. Therefore I command my troops to hunt down the rebels"; The second is. "Gui Xiao clicked on the reading of the Ding. Speak out about your crusade"; The third is that "China's method of helping young people to serve in the green seedlings, the poor and the poor, and now I send troops to save each other."
Article 2, Article 3 has many places that overlap with Su Mian's Lubu attacking Liu Yi, Shen Qi and Wang Ju, that is, Su Mian's Lubu crusading against Liu Yi, Shen Qi, and Wang Ju happened to become the "evidence" of the Jiaozhi people.
But can these three reasons be valid?
Let's look at the first article, even if the Song Dynasty took in some Jiaozhi people who came to vote. However, is Jiaozhi doing less openly and secretly? Why did they do nothing, it became a big sin when it was the turn of the Song Dynasty to do it. But it doesn't matter, the US imperialists announced the wheels and corrupt officials who took in China, but China did not dare to take in a single Snowden. But is Cochin a US imperialist?
Second, Gui Xiao (referring to Guangxi's pacification envoy) ordered the local soldiers to take care of the affairs of the toes. Even Zhang Qi was training native soldiers in Hebei, and the Liao State just complained a little, and continued to fight with the Song Dynasty on the border, did he send troops?
On the other hand, the Liao State, Western Xia and Jiaozhi trained their troops on the border, will the Song Dynasty send troops?
Moreover, the Song Dynasty even had the intention of plotting to make toes. coincided with the Liao State coming to blackmail, and the whole country was in drought. At this time, troops will be sent to fight each other? And as a nominal vassal state of the Song Dynasty, at least send an envoy to ask, and listen to an explanation from the Song Dynasty.
Third, the Song Dynasty changed the law and took care of the affairs of Jiaozhi, because the Song Dynasty changed the law, and they could send troops to intervene. This is fucking, it's even more awesome than the American imperialists.
"Qing also knows this dew cloth?"
"After the Yongzhou tragedy, the minister sent someone to investigate it secretly."
But the invasion of Jiaozhi was not so smooth, but Su Mian wanted to value peace, and sent Lubu to accuse Shen Qi, Liu Yi and Wang Ju.
Why did it get Wang Ju, it was Wang Ju who mentioned yì, and Lingnan must be prepared to prevent the invasion of Jiaozhi. So how to be prepared, a border army, training the border army, not what kind of native soldiers and armor, is a formal border army. 2. Consolidate and repair the border villages of the city. The third is to increase the number of armor.
Liu Yi did this, but this offended Su Yi, he wanted to value peace and not disturb the people. It is true that whether it is the placement of border troops, the formation of armor, or the training of native soldiers, it will bring some burdens to the people to a greater or lesser extent.
However, Mr. Suda, what is the opposite of you, a country! Even if there is peace between the two countries, it is necessary to keep four or five thousand local soldiers as a precautionary measure. But Su Yi did the opposite, and even Liu Yi asked him to send someone to get the armor transferred from the imperial court, but he didn't care about it.
Jiaozhi invaded, and Su Yi hurriedly asked Liu Yi for help.
Liu Yi sneered, I asked you to strengthen the city defense, but you abandoned the city defense. I asked you to increase the border army and train the native soldiers, but you did not increase the number of soldiers and did not train any soldiers, but instead disbanded a large number of armored native soldiers, and took the initiative to leave no defense. Fix it yourself.
Su Mian had to solve it by himself, this time he didn't mention Kuanmin, and hurriedly recruited troops, but it was too late, until the Jiaozhi army came to the city, and more than 4,000 native soldiers were recruited. Fortunately, his predecessor left behind a large number of Divine Arm Bows, and it is said that more than 10,000 Cochin invading soldiers were shot. However, the number of troops in his hands became very small after he was disbanded, only more than 4,000 people, of which nearly 2,000 were temporarily recruited militia, and they were not accustomed to fighting, so the defense of Yongzhou City gradually became difficult.
At this time, the traitor came out, and a local Han man offered advice, and the Jiaozhi people used bags to fill mud. If you put it in the tragic offensive and defensive battle of Rouyuan Village, it is simply a joke. But it's not a joke now, Su Mian couldn't stop it because of the small number of troops in his hands, and tens of thousands of mud bags piled up, gradually equalizing the city. The Cochin army entered the city from this mud bag. On the day of the city's destruction, Su Mian told 36 of his family members to commit suicide, and he himself committed suicide. However, in order to vent their anger, the Jiaozhi people slaughtered more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Yongzhou City.
This is only one part of Yongzhou City, and in other places, almost 100,000 soldiers and civilians have been killed, and even monks and Taoists have not spared.
However, Jiaozhi was obviously a little smarter than Nong Zhigao, although Guizhou and others also began to have a cotton planting base of the Kapok Division, but Jiaozhi did not go north again, and then the people of Qin, Lian and Yong Prefectures, as well as a large amount of wealth, were taken together and withdrawn from the army.
"It turns out that Su Mian also had a ......"
"Your Majesty, Su Mian is generous and righteous, and he died in the country, even if he is at fault, he can't care about it, but although Su Mian has the ambition of Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, his vision is far from it."
This refers to the fact that after the tragedy, the imperial court will investigate the person responsible, which is the side disaster provoked by Shen Qi and Liu Yi. So Shen Qi was placed in Yingzhou, and Liu Yi was placed in Suizhou. However, Su Ziyuan, the son of Su Mian, was the official of the western head, and Zhao Ji personally said to him: "In the past, Zhang Xun of the Tang Dynasty guarded Juyang and defended Jianghuai, and they were not far away from your father. ”
Liu Yi must have made a strict mistake.
However, even Wang Ju was almost involved, and many ministers wrote to impeach Wang Ju, as well as Wang Ju's immigration.
But when Wang Ju talked about the possible invasion of Jiaozhi, it was in front of many important ministers, although Lu Huiqing, Han Jiang, Cai Ting, and Zhang Dian were no longer in the capital, and the others were still in the capital.
Therefore, Zhao Ji told the truth.
However, there are also people who impeach Wang Ju and move the people.
However, after these pieces were released, they were not released. Seeing the expansion of the situation, Wang Anshi demoted three or four middle-level Beijing officials in a row, which suppressed the opposition.
Quanzhou is the topic of Wang Anshi's forbidden teachings.
Although the relocation of the people makes many people faintly repulsed, but there are indeed many benefits, after all, the relocation is all destitute households, it is precisely because of the relocation that these maritime merchants donated more than 6 million stone grain, especially the more than 3 million stone grain in the seventh year of Xining, if there is no more than 3 million stone grain, the imperial court will be more difficult.
Moreover, because of the expansion of maritime trade, a large amount of revenue has also been added to the treasury and the inner treasury, which is also valued by Wang Anshi.
Therefore, he put Wang Ju in Quanzhou for cold treatment, but he didn't want anything to happen in Quanzhou.
Zhao Ji thought for a while and asked, "What if Su Yi obeys Liu Yi's orders?" ”
"There will be calamities on the West Guangnan Road, Jiaozhi has been expanding and fighting for many years, the whole country is attacking, and Lingnan is empty of troops and cannot be fully defended. But at least Yongzhou City will not be lost, but the people in other regions will still suffer from Yan zhòng. ”
"What if you kill Cochin?"
"If we destroy Cochin and occupy the city, as long as our court is not hostile to it, most of them will not dare to invade our court. However, it is necessary to place a border army, not only the enemy country, but also the rule of the barbarians. If there were border troops stationed in the states, and the barbarians were afraid of them, there would not have been repeated rebellions and plundering down the mountains. Moreover, in the system of our dynasty, officials move every few years, the military and government are divided layer by layer, and the number of border troops is not large, there will be no Anshi Rebellion. If you have to worry about everything, you will only overdo it and overdo it. ”
"Why did you write this?" Zhao Ji took out a piece of music and asked.
This is not long ago, Wang Ju wrote to the imperial court, only one sentence, if the imperial court needs it next year, please let the minister preside over the affairs of the two Guangzhou, and allow the minister to act cheaply.
Its background is that when Guo Kui's army went south, Wang Ju got on this piece of music without a head, and everyone panicked together, and what was even worse was that Zhang Qi also played a piece of music...... (To be continued......)
