"Dongliang, it's not Ding Zhuang, it's a boat." Wang Ju corrected.

Just like this time, if there were more ships, at least twice as many people could be taken with them in Michigan.

However, there was no more, so they had to take some of the people with them.

But next year it will be a little better, because next year, nearly 100 more ships will be launched. Moreover, these ships refer to large cargo ships, in addition to these large cargo ships, there are also some eight-oared ships, four-oared ships and two-masted multi-oared ships (naval war ships) launched one after another, which are used to implement Wang Ju's pirate plan in the Beibu Gulf.

In addition to that plan, as the number of immigrants increased and the territory expanded, there must also be some warships in hand.

In addition to the ship, there were also the movements of some ministers.

Now this immigration is gradually attracting more people's attention, and once the number is further expanded, maybe even Zhao Ji will be worried.

But in such a large place, this number of people is far from enough, not more than 200,000 people, preferably 2 million households, then can barely enclose many areas. And it can only be said to be reluctant, just like the Oceania of later generations, the land is vast and sparsely populated, not only is there more desert Gobi terrain, there are fewer rivers, and those white people are not suitable for transforming nature. Although their industrial technology is very developed, they are not even as good as the Song Dynasty in transforming nature. Let's look at the current Song Dynasty, restraining the Yellow River and letting it flow north for a while, and eastward for a while, as well as the enclosed fields and polders in the southeast, and the terraced fields, pitians, and weir fields in the south, even Westerners in the industrial age may not be able to do it.

So a large number of Han people migrated over, and once they were transformed, it would accommodate more people. And on the other side of the ocean. Then the vast area. It is also more suitable for the common people to live. Wang Ju is really not moved?

But will Zhao agree to move so many people over, and will the ministers agree to do so?

By next year, adding another 100 large cargo ships, then more than 100,000 people can be relocated at one time, and I believe that there will be so many people willing to go, after all, after several years of fermentation, more people are not afraid of the other side of the ocean, but yearning.

But this year is a catastrophe. If so many people are relocated at one time next year, what will the imperial court think?

Don't talk about the benefits.

If it's easy to find trouble, it's an accident at sea. What Wang Ju didn't know was that there was an accident this time.

So many people, and they also had to grab the "spring plowing production" over there, so they left Mizhou in a hurry. As a result, a fleet encountered a violent typhoon on the way, and although Wang Ju had strict requirements for the quality of the ships, it still caused four ships to sink. In fact, in order to prevent accidents at sea, there are also a large number of rough lifebuoys and kayaks made of animal skins, and they try to sail along the coastline as much as possible. There were also some supply points and shelters in between, but after the typhoon stopped. Nearly 1,000 people have not yet been found.

A month later, there was no further search, and the people were actually officially killed.

Of course, this news will be fed back to Wang Ju, and it will be next spring.

But in addition to this accident, in the past, I tried to avoid the peak of the typhoon, but there were still accidents, and some people did die.

When the catastrophe comes, not many people care about the people who starve to death, but if you put it on the shipwreck, it will make some people make a fuss.

Therefore, how to try to migrate more people away without the attention of the imperial court is also a headache.

But there is no latter question Yan zhòng.

Wang Ju faced the difficulties that some people might come, and resigned forcefully. This incident made Wen Yanbo very embarrassed, and also made Wang Anshi unable to step down. Therefore, after Wang Ju arrived in Quanzhou, everyone spontaneously forgot about him. Whatever you want, just pay your taxes on time and don't force the local people into rebellion. Anyway, Fujian Road is not the core area of the Song Dynasty.

So this gave Wang Ju a quiet environment.

However, more than two years have passed, and it is time for both Wang Ju and Zhang Qi to be transferred.

Once transferred, no matter where they are transferred, even if it is on Fujian Road, there is no convenience for the city, then the migrating people will undoubtedly encounter many difficulties.

Therefore, Wang Ju still has to find a way to stay in Quanzhou for two more years, and with two years, coupled with the increase in ships, it is possible to move three or four hundred thousand more people to go overseas.

Even so, the number of people is still too small, but it is basically beginning to take shape. At least not as thin as it looks now.

"It's hard." Lu He sighed.

"Dongliang, it's okay, this is in my dynasty, and if it were other dynasties, I can't even think about it," Wang Ju said with a smile.

You have to look at it from the opposite side, in fact, Wang Ju did this, and many of them were indeed violations.

Lu Heliang also smiled, because he wanted to do great things, so there were indeed many difficulties, including the number of migrating people. However, as an individual, it is not easy to create this foundation. Anyway, Lu Heliang regarded this foundation as Wang Ju's personal property and handed it over to the imperial court...... What's the matter, that's not a good thing, it's purely for smoking.

It can even be said that if it drags on for another year, Wang Ju's actual property can be regarded as the richest man in the Song Dynasty.

He was a little better, especially Huang Hua and Han Yun, seeing the increase in wealth, and then thinking of the difficulties when leaving Gyeongju, the two of them were like dreams.

Thinking of this, Lu He said: "Zi'an, even if you fund the country, then you have to be careful, if you don't have that million guan, you may be able to enter the two mansions now." ”

"It's okay, let me enter the two mansions now, I may not be willing to ......" Immediately looking at Wang Shao's fate, Wang Ju said again: "And those workshops are right under everyone's noses, which is really an eyesore." ”

"By the way, how are the three workshops doing now?"

"The bamboo paper workshop is still apportioned, but the quantity is not as much as Chen Xiangding, and the price has been slightly raised."

"That's the Gao family, and Jiefu Gong also dares to apportion, no wonder he will step down."

"Isn't the Gao family apportioned? It is mainly Jiefu Gong's broken promise that makes everyone resentful, such as this market law, if it is not for unsalable commercial goods, then it is fine. said that the unsalable commercial goods, but to apportionment of bamboo paper. How can the Gao family not be resentful? Therefore, if you offend people like this, it is better to pay taxes to the merchants, so why bother. ”

"Not only do you have to pay taxes, but you also have to pay taxes." Lu He said.

In the past few years, he has done things for Wang Ju. He ran many places. See many things. This levy is also included.

Perhaps later generations thought that the tenant farmers were very sad. In fact, it is not inevitable, if the lord's family is good, the people are still willing to be tenant farmers. Because tenant farmers do not need to pay two taxes. However, because some of the lords had no power, although they had a lot of land, they were very barren, but because there was no one, they let the officials divide them into fields. Then you have to pay taxes, and as a result, you have a lot of land in your hands and a group of tenant farmers to live, but you are still overwhelmed. In particular, the various apportionments after Wang Anshi's reform of the law have further burdened this part of the main households.

So was the tax heavy in the Song Dynasty? It's really not heavy, even if you add the two taxes and some harsh taxes together, plus the apportionment of the Green Seedling Law and the Exemption Law, it's only eight or nine million. Ten acres of land is only apportioned to one (a bundle of stones), is it heavy?

This reason is mainly because many powerful and powerful people do not pay two taxes, like Han Qi's family. Occupy almost half of the county, but how much tax is paid. Even if a little bit of the Seedlings loan and exemption money were apportioned. Han Qi is going to fight hard with Wang Anshi.

It is this unfair tax system that has accelerated the differentiation between the rich and the poor, although Lu Herang does not have a golden finger, but he has been working for Wang Ju all these years, and he has also accumulated a certain vision, knowing that it is not good for the Song Dynasty to continue to develop like this.

"It's good to be able to do business taxes, but do you want to do taxes?" Wang Ju laughed.

"Alas, by the way, Zi'an, why is there no whereabouts of the descendants of the bearded guests on the islands of the South China Sea?"

Before the Song Dynasty, some people migrated overseas, most assimilated, and a few maintained their original traditions. However, the Tang Dynasty generally had a policy of confinement, and the number of migrations was small. However, after entering the Song Dynasty, before Wang Ju initiated the migration, some people had already migrated overseas, and most of them were people from Fujian Road, and some people were connected and then united.

However, Lu Herang was not referring to this.

Wang Ju said meaningfully: "Tao Xiyan and Zhang Liangguo went overseas, and then they were surprised, how these hawksbill turtles, spices and coral are like straws. But if it's not for me, how are they different from straw? I am the root, and the overseas is the leaf...... Don't get cranky. Besides, that's all there is to ......."

As an industry, so many people, what is amazing, but in such a large area, want to become a huge empire, isn't it a big joke?

"Don't be a bearded guest, don't do something for our dynasty with peace of mind, not only for the official family, but also for our children and grandchildren."

Lu He let it go.

That's it, and then with this person, to perfect Wang Ju's Beibu Gulf pirate plan.

Wang Ju found Tao Qing again and asked him to do another thing.

Some of the ships in Runzhou were to be transferred to Quanzhou to anchor, and then left with the people. Wang Ju sighed that there were too few people, and in fact, tens of thousands of people gathered together, which was quite dazzling. If he hadn't served as the governor, who would have agreed to let so many people get on board?

But this matter has nothing to do with the people, but with horses.

On the other side, there are many suitable places for grazing.

However, in the Song Dynasty, there were no sheep in the south at this time, and cattle were "protected animals" that were forbidden to be slaughtered. The only thing that is not forbidden is the donkey. Therefore, the only domestic animals brought from the Central Plains were donkeys and pigs.

Therefore, Wang Ju let Tao Qing trade in advance, and exchanged a large number of cattle, sheep and cubs from Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom to be raised there.

Therefore, there are some mutton and pork in the relief grain this time, but the main thing is pickled pork, and there is still very little mutton.

But there has always been a shortage of horses over there.

Now it's not a big problem, it's a circle, the area is limited, but as the population increases, the area of the circle is getting bigger and bigger, and there must be horses. If it weren't for the war, there were islands over there, and as long as we found a way to increase the population and dilute the natives, at least for a few hundred years, there would be no large-scale wars. But for ease of management, it is necessary to have horses.

Wang Ju instructed Tao Qing to cast some weapons from there, and it was definitely not possible to cast weapons on a large scale in the interior, and then use a few wind-drilling ships to sail north from Goryeo to see if he could exchange the horse cubs with the Jurchen and bring them back there to raise.

"Be careful." Wang Ju said.

Further north are the Jurchens, and I am afraid that they cannot understand the language, but they are quite fierce, they are not the natives of the South China Sea, and they belong to the territory of the Liao State, so they must be extra careful.

"Well, but why the exchange of weapons?"

"The Liao State is afraid of them, and has never provided weapons, and even iron is forbidden."

"Zi'an wants them to betray?"

"God knows. Anyway, in exchange for weapons. They're going to love it. For me, the benefits of the Song Dynasty also outweigh the disadvantages...... "Wang Judao, Jurchen betrayal, Wang Ju really wants to do it, that will detonate this powder magazine in advance, but that vast and sparsely populated, and very backward and barbaric place, who can control the trend of the situation, and said: "But remember." It's better not to leave me in the style of the weapon. Well, you can also pretend to be a Japanese slave and trade with them. ”

"Understood."

The people got on the boat one after another, and Tao Qing also got on the boat, and then left Quanzhou.

Wang Ju stood by the dock for a long time, and then went back.

There are still many things to do, such as what supplies, utensils, and daily necessities are needed there, which must be arranged in advance. Moreover, this kind of quota system is also a good time to win people's hearts.

As long as everyone keeps their mouths shut. No matter how many people he moved, the court would not care.

However, the court intervened.

It's not about immigration, it's about the North.

Liu Chen and Lv Dazhong followed Xiao Xi and Liang Ying to the border, and Zhao Ji also gave Lv Dazhong the post of Zhidai Prefecture for their convenience.

Liao is not very good in Hebei, then there is a Juma River, if you have to Guannan ten counties, then it will be restored to Renzong, if you want to Guannan ten counties, then you can't give it a year, so many years to give it down, how much silver and how much silk?

The Liao State can't afford to pay it back, so it is on Hedong Road.

Hedong Road is nothing more than where Daizhou is.

Xiao Xi said that the boundary is wrong, and it should be bounded by the watershed of Weiyingshuo and the three states.

Liu Chen ran to the border to look, looked for several days, and did not find the mound mentioned by the two Liao envoys, and then Liu Chen came back and asked, where is the mound located?

Xiao Xi said, ah, there is no mound, then take the watershed as the boundary.

Liu Chen almost went crazy, daring to show that your Liao State didn't even investigate, so he came directly to blackmail. In fact, you can't blame the Liao State, but the famous big man Yelu Yixin in the Liao State, that is, the powerful minister who immediately killed Xiao Guanyin, the first talented woman in the Liao State. When he heard about the drought in the Song Dynasty, he thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, so he sent an envoy to blackmail. In fact, Yelu Hongji was opposed to this matter. It's just that the attitude of opposition is not resolute, it is better to knock it, and it is no wonder that it can't be knocked, how good is Song Liao and peace, don't fight again for this reason......

However, where did the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty know about this matter?

Including Wang Ju, I don't know.

This kind of playful blackmail made the Song Dynasty a lot of chickens and dogs.

However, Liu Chen was not easy to mess with, and immediately said: "All mountains have watersheds, where does it come from?" ”

This is a bit arbitrary, what is the watershed, such as Dabie Mountain is the watershed between the Huai River and the Yangtze River, the mountains and rivers on the south side flow to the Yangtze River, and the mountains and rivers on the north side flow to the Huai River.

How prepared are you to blackmail, just talk about the watershed, that is the watershed of the two waters? If you can't say the watershed between the two waters, then aren't all mountains watersheds, the water in the south of the mountain flows to the south, and the water in the north of the mountain flows to the north.

This kind of blackmail is also too substandard.

Xiao Xi and Liang Ying had no choice but to support each other.

You must know that the current scholars of the Song Dynasty are not only good at learning, but also grind out their mouths and kung fu, how can they survive in the court without a few brushes?

The more the two Liao envoys were distinguished, the more they suffered, and the two Song envoys were stubborn "patriots", just as Liu Chen said in the recital to Zhao Xu, since the minister was ordered, he assessed the documents in the cardinal mansion, and did not see the size of the dynasty to invade the Liao land. If a minister is insulted, he should refuse to die.

If the Liao State humiliates our dynasty this time, then I will refuse to die.

I don't even plan to ask for my life, and I take care of it, so will I give up an inch?

Then the two Liao envoys were even more amusement, and sent someone to send a letter to the capital, saying to Zhao Ji, you two Song envoys have spoken disrespectfully and insulted us repeatedly, so you should send other envoys over.

Of course, it is good for the two envoys to do this, but the problem is that the matter must be calmed down quickly, and Liaoning will not find an opportunity to send troops.

So the two of them returned to Beijing, and then asked Lu Huiqing to personally write a euphemistic letter of state and give it to Yelu Hongji. At the same time, he sent Han Zhen and Zhang Cheng to the border to discuss again.

When the two came to Daizhou, they said to the two Liao envoys, so let's take Changlian City and Liufanling as the boundary.

The border between the two countries is called idle field, which means that the two sides will spontaneously leave a buffer area. However, strictly speaking, this paragraph is no longer idle land, but a territory that really belongs to the Song Dynasty. However, the Liao people thought that their country was strong, so they repeatedly moved south and set up shops in some places during the Zhiping years. The weakness of the Song Dynasty does not mean that the border people are weak. As soon as the Liao State is replaced, it will be difficult for the border people in this area to live in the future. Therefore, the border people in Hedong were destroyed, and the Liao State did not come again.

In fact, the two agreed to use this as a border, which was equivalent to ceding some land to Liao.

What to do, if you don't give them a little advantage, it seems that you are not willing to rest.

However, the two Liao envoys still disagreed.

At this moment, Han Zhen and Zhang Cheng did not dare to make the decision, could it be that Daizhou and Yanmen Pass would be ceded to Liao, and Liaoguo would be willing?

So he quickly reported to Zhao Ji.

Of course, Zhao Ji is not willing to make any more concessions, but if he does not make further concessions, the Liao State will not be willing to give up, what will be the consequences? So I wrote a letter and asked Wang Ju.

Who made Wang Ju "like a god". (To be continued......)
