Chapter 1082 Risks at Sea

The recruitment of refugees from Liaodong is very smooth, the colder the weather, the closer the New Year, the more bitter the deserters from Liaodong will be, some people gather to become Xiangma bandits, and some people are struggling inside and outside the city, no matter what kind of dedication to hearing former acquaintances and villagers, they are all heartbeat, even if they rob their homes, it is not as good as living in peace, and the villagers all understand that Xuzhou treats people fairly, and there is no such thing as looking down on them.

Transporting out the Liao people is also very simple, first of all, the Liao people who were born as deserter refugees have a certain organization themselves, and Zhao Ziying has their food supplies here, only this family will give them food and clothing, there is no other choice, naturally they can only follow the south, and after arriving in Dongchang Mansion, even if they want to run, they can't run, not to mention that no one dares to run, in this weather, running out will only end up freezing and starving.

A team of 500 or 1,000 people, a team out of Dengzhou, the food and materials needed on the road, and even the carriages and horses that carry materials are a large number, and the coastal area of Dengzhou Mansion is the northeast of Shandong, from Xuzhou or Jining to bring materials to come is very wasteful and inconvenient, in fact, the easiest and most convenient way is to use the boat, the Yujia sand boat is wide and heavy, the most suitable for transporting refugees, but at this time the coast is frozen, there is no way to enter the port, at that time this difficulty is the most worrying for the Department of Trade and the Department of Agricultural Reclamation.

No one thought that this difficulty would be so easy to solve, as long as you come with gold and silver, you can buy enough materials in Dengzhou Mansion, and the price is not high, what is more convenient is that there is everything here, and the quantity of each material is very large, so you don't have to worry about the shortage at all.

In the past, the imperial court supplied Liaodong military supplies, a large part of which was from Dengzhou Mansion in Shandong Province to the north, to the present, the imperial court in order to use troops in Liaodong, and hoarded a large number of materials in this Dengzhou Mansion, everyone knows that the imperial court officials and troops will not be able to fight for a while and a half, and the consumption of local soldiers and horses is limited, these materials have naturally become a cornucopia of civil and military officials at all levels in Denglai and the two prefectures.

But there are so many materials, and it is not a commercial goods that can be sold to make huge profits, it is not easy to realize it, everyone you share some I share, it looks like it is rich, but it is the number on the books, there is no way to turn it into real money, this Xuzhou Zhao Ziying came, the silver of the white flowers was sprinkled out, everyone was really smiling, and by the way, the Lou family hated and despised the family more and more, thinking that this Xuzhou people are evil gods, but they are also the gods of wealth, you offended the evil gods and delayed everyone to get rich, isn't this a sin that deserves death?

The grain and grass materials and even the carriages and horses needed for the counterattack in Liaodong were depreciated and rotted in winter, and became the consumption of the Zhao Zi camp to recruit refugees, which is sad and ridiculous, so many food and grass materials for Liaodong were not used in the slightest of the refugees in Liaodong, and these poor people ate and used these things because of the Zhao Zi camp in Xuzhou.

If it was said that they were frightened by the ferocity of Zhao Ziying, everyone had to bow their heads, then now the governor of Shandong, Denglai and the two prefectures, civil and military officials at all levels, all the way to the officials and soldiers below, everyone's bowing is for silver and making a fortune.

A sum of money was spent, and a piece of material followed the refugees all the way to the west, and then all the way to the south in Dongchang Mansion, at first everyone had to be, and then everyone was willing, and the local people were cold-eyed, and then later, no matter who was shocked, although at the end of the second year of the Apocalypse, they had been shocked by Zhao Ziying many times, how much power Zhao Ziying had, how much silver and money, how could it be like a mountain of gold, no, if it was a mountain of gold, it would not be able to withstand such expenses, But Zhao Ziying just kept throwing money out, what kind of strength does this have?

In these shocked eyes and complicated moods, Zhao Ziying's grange in Yanzhou Mansion was gradually enriched, and everyone in the Agricultural Reclamation Department was very busy, they wanted to break up the grange that had just been fixed, and then mix the Liao people into it, and then build more granges, because they had already bought more fields in the autumn and winter.

Li Ziyou, the big proprietor of Qingjiang Puchengbei, did not stay in Qingjiangpu to see what martial arts competition, but brought his family and subordinates to Yanzhou Mansion in Shandong, he brought a large amount of silver, because the canal was frozen, and the materials really could not be transported, Li Ziyou's attitude was very simple, he was willing to open a grange with Zhao Ziying, he did not account for the majority, and was willing to cooperate with Yunshan Bank to open a commercial store for the Liao people, he only sought a profit.

It is impossible for a businessman to scatter the silver in vain, but Li Ziyou's statement is actually not to make money to help, his capital is in Qingjiangpu, that is, huge profits, there is no need to make these small profits here, but Zhao Ziying is also not short of silver, the grange does not allow outsiders to interfere, this firm can be discussed, at the same time, Zhao Jin also refused Li Ziyou's New Year's gift.

The refugees from Liaodong recruited in Dengzhou Mansion surprised Zhao Ziying not the deserters in the past, but the craftsmen who knew how to work, although the number was not large, but the proportion of craftsmen and craftsmen among the displaced people was much higher.

The reason is very simple, the Jianzhou Jurchen swept Liaodong, the military disaster was chaotic, everyone wanted to escape, if it was an ordinary people, there was nowhere to escape, only some family business accumulation could escape, craftsmen and craftsmen lived better than ordinary peasant people, and Liaodong was mainly a military town, and these craftsmen mainly served the military town, and the relationship with the official army was also good, and they could escape when it was difficult.

Anyone who has craftsmanship, no matter what kind of craftsmanship and experience, is immediately selected and sent to Xuzhou, where the ironwork workshops and various workshops are in urgent need of such manpower, they will not be treated with ordinary Liaodong refugees, in addition, there are some sailors on the official and military warships who want to go with the brigade.

Liaozhen has a long coastline, in Liaoxi and Liaodong several ports have the imperial court fleet sailors stationed, after the Jianzhou Jurchen fight, the land was defeated, but this sea has not been affected, can escape in time, can also go to the rescue again and again, but now with the Jianzhou Jurchen control of Liaodong more and more close, the Ming Liaodong and Shandong fleets are becoming more and more dangerous.

Sometimes leaning to the shore of Liaodong, being raided by the Jurchen Tatars on the shore on horseback, often people die and the ship is destroyed, even if they are lucky to escape, they have to pay a certain number of casualties, not to mention that although this sea fleet is the key to the resistance and rescue of Liaodong, but the civil and military officials at all levels of the Ming Dynasty do not see a trace of preferential treatment for the sailors of the fleet, and they are still squeezed and demanding, and even are blindly commanded to send them to death. The marching law is about to begin.

There are also people who collude inside and outside, resell military funds, or do foreign trade, but that is only a few, most of the sea ships are in disrepair, can not withstand the wind and waves at sea, this is another risk, people really do not want to continue to do, but most of the sailors are helpless, do not do only the refugees one way, how miserable the refugees, they are also seen and heard, want to be deserters and have nowhere to go, with this broken ship to escape, maybe it will capsize at sea, but lose the ship to land, what can you do?

Xuzhou recruited refugees here, saying that they could give a place to settle down, that they could give a living of food and clothing, and that they had their own villagers to show up and say, many shipwrights and sailors were moved, took off their uniforms and went ashore to ask for receiving, at first they did not dare to report their identity as deserters, and later found that Xuzhou's recruitment team was not jealous, and they didn't care that you were a good deserter or something, so they revealed their identities.

What these refugees from sailors didn't expect was that as soon as they revealed their identities, they were immediately valued and given preferential treatment, and even asked them to recruit more people.

"Big brother, now there is no shortage of ships, what is lacking is people, it is too easy to grow hair at sea, a shipload of goods used to be a shipload of silver, and the sea seals who know how to do it are all used as treasures, and the novices are worthless, and it is useless to ask for them, these people in Liaodong are exactly what we urgently need!" After learning the news, Yu Zhiyuan, who rushed to Xuzhou, was overjoyed.

Zhao Jin needs a fleet to go to Liaodong to collect refugees, now Liaodong is already an enemy country, the coastline must be full of murderous opportunities, the ships and sailors sent over must be good ships and strong hands, but in this way, the Yu family's shipping business will also be affected, you must know that the Yu family has allocated a lot of ships for Zhao Ziying's gunpowder and other transactions, this Liaodong coastal matter to collect refugees occupies more ships, and the risk is greater, Yu Zhiyuan is not reluctant, but can find a way to do both, that is better.

"Please let the eldest brother allocate these sailors to the younger brother, and the younger brother will equip them with ships and arrange the manpower of the steward, and when the appropriate voyage is suitable for the next year, he can send a ship to Liaodong to collect the refugees." Yu Zhiyuan and Zhao Jin were not polite here, and put forward their ideas straightforwardly.

"I'm also going to select warriors who are willing to go back to Liaodong to recruit villagers, and I'll be on the ship when the time comes." Zhao Jin nodded and agreed to Yu Zhiyuan's needs, and also said his own arrangement.

How to recruit warriors who dare to return to Liaodong, dare to go deep into the enemy country, contact the villagers, and lead the refugees to the beach to get on the boat, this is not too difficult, everyone knows the danger of Liaodong now, and directly release this news among the recruited Liaodong refugees, and those who dare to take the initiative to sign up are not bad, with this generous mind for the people, and this courage to be born and die, this is a warrior.
