Chapter 2352: Immigrants and Farmers for the Northern Expedition

 Liu Muzhi's heart moved, the expression on his face changed, and he blurted out: "Gao, why didn't I think of this?"

Liu Yu smiled slightly: "Actually, this idea has been in my mind for a long time. For many years, the rulers of the Jin Dynasty, whether they are emperors or high-ranking families, have only set their sights on Pian'an Jiangnan and the six counties in Jiangbei.

Including Huainan and Yongzhou, places bordering the Hulu countries in the north, are regarded as battlefields, and even buffer zones that can be abandoned at any time. The properties and manors of aristocratic families are either in the capital or in the land of Sanwu, and there are a few people.

Are you willing to build your own foundation in Jiangbei? I’m afraid there aren’t any!”

Liu Muzhi smiled and said: "If it is your own property, you have to consider that there are people working and it can produce output. You also said that Jiangbei is a battlefield and buffer zone where the Hu people can move south at any time. Most people will not consider buying property here.

Yes, but if it’s the Northern Expedition, that’s another matter.”

Liu Yu said seriously: "Yes, the north is now occupied by three barbarian countries, the Southern Yan in the land of Qilu, the Later Qin in Guanzhong and the Central Plains, and the Northern Wei who occupies Hebei and Bingzhou. Except for the Northern Wei, it is temporarily far away from us.

In addition, Nanyan and Hou Qin are directly adjacent to each other, especially Nanyan. Last time, Nanyan almost took advantage of the situation and went south to attack us. It can be said that this is our number one enemy. If we want to expedition to the north, the first target will be Nanyan.

And if you want to attack Nanyan, you must use the nearest Jiangbei as your base of advance."

Liu Muzhi sighed: "From a rational point of view, fighting Nan Yan is the best choice, but Princess Lan."

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "I had an agreement with Murong Beide. As long as Nan Yan didn't attack me, I would not take the initiative to beat him. But just after the agreement was reached, Murong Beide died after returning, and Alan was also killed.

Going to jail, various actions made me believe that Murong Chao will never abide by this peace agreement. What I want now is to rescue Alan as soon as possible. Nanyan is no longer her original tribe and motherland. If she continues to stay there, she will only be in vain.

A senseless death."

Liu Muzhi frowned: "I think it's just the opposite. Even if Princess Lan is released, she will not abandon her tribe and come to you. Even if she knows that Murong Chao is unreasonable, she will try her best to persuade him.

Nephew, if you stop the war, Princess Lan will be the heroine we know so well."

Liu Yu lowered his head and was speechless for a long time. Then he sighed: "Perhaps, this is the fate that she and I must bear. God has given us such an identity, so that we have no choice in the end. If Nan Yan comes to attack me again,

The Jin Dynasty hurt my people, and I have no reason to give up the great cause of the Northern Expedition just for Alan."

Liu Muzhi sighed: "I just hope that this day will never come. If you can strengthen Jiangbei's strength, you may be able to deter this war, but on the other hand..." At this point, he frowned

He frowned and stopped talking.

Liu Yu gritted his teeth: "You want to say that if I immigrate to enrich Jiangbei, transport grain and grass, and mobilize troops, Nanyan will feel threatened, or see the wealth, so he will take the initiative to strike first and come to rob

?”

Liu Muzhi nodded: "This is in line with the character of the Xianbei people. They themselves are bandits who believe that violence is better than hard work. Now there are Han people in Qilu to farm land for them, but the Xianbei tribesmen are still not engaged in production.

, during the last southern expedition, almost all the Xianbei people responded to your call and came as soon as you called. In the end, they all received a lot of food, grass and baggage as compensation from you. They tasted the sweetness. I think if there is still a chance, they will be more willing to come.

Even Princess Lan can't stop it."

A cold light flashed in Liu Yu's eyes: "I will definitely make them pay for this. What happened last time was Ah Shou's fault. It's appropriate to compensate them with some food and grass. At least, let Liu Gai, the traitor, jump on his own."

Come out and clear them out. Now our northern defense line is very stable, and we are not afraid of them attacking again. If they really think that my immigration to Jiangbei to transport food gives them a good opportunity to rob food and people, then I will definitely make them regret it.

Out of reach.”

Liu Muzhi smiled slightly: "It seems that you have a plan for a long time. After the last pursuit of Tianshi Dao, you placed the prisoners of war as slaves in Jiangbei. I'm afraid it was just to prepare for this day."

Liu Yu laughed: "I'll let you see it. Yes, at that time, the prisoners of war in Tianshi Dao were spared from death and became slaves, just to test whether it was feasible in the fields near Jiangbei. Since ancient times, we have been prepared to guard against the north.

Most of the border residents on the border used domestic criminals as soldiers. On the one hand, these people are fierce and good at fighting. Secondly, they are guilty of heinous crimes. If they are placed in the mainland, they are probably a source of instability. Being on the front line can be regarded as having both the family and the country. Judging from the situation in recent years

Down here, in the land of Jiangbei, the former Tianshi Taoist disciples can transform from wild beasts back to common people. Since they can do it, then the tenants of Wu land can also do it."

Liu Muzhi nodded: "Then it seems that I need to find a lot of wasteland in Jiangbei to distribute to the new tenants from Jiangnan."

Liu Yu said seriously: "We can immigrate the whole village first. Firstly, the large number of people can help each other. Secondly, we can also do what you just thought, where men work together and women work together, we can

Within three years, no land tax will be collected from these people, and no corvee arrangements will be arranged. In three years, they will be able to live and work in peace and contentment in their new homes in Jiangbei. After that, they will recruit troops from these people to prepare for the Northern Expedition. I believe that neither the troops nor the food and grass will be lost.

has become a problem, we no longer have to go all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to transfer troops and supplies every time we fight."

Liu Muzhi laughed: "But in this way, Jiangbei has become a big fat meat, and both Southern Yan and Later Qin will look at it. Do you think there are still undecided rebellions in Lingnan, Xishu, and Jingzhou?"

Do we have enough troops to guard the north of the Yangtze River? Not to mention, if we want to free the tenants in the south of the Yangtze River from being slaves and become guests, I am afraid that the suppression troops from the Sanwu Land will also be indispensable."

Liu Yu raised his brows slightly, and the look on his face became determined: "Relying on the army to suppress pressure is not a long-term solution. In the future, the Northern Expedition will require the efforts of the whole country. I can no longer do what I did in previous Northern Expeditions.

In the battle, the rear has to hold back conspirators like the Mafia. Therefore, I will concentrate on solving all rear problems in these two years. The reason why I plan to spend three years to enrich Jiangbei is to see how important it is for a great undertaking like the Northern Expedition.

, who is in favor and who is against!”

The fat on Liu Muzhi's face jumped: "What do you think you are in favor of, and so what do you think you are against?!"

Liu Yu's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "There is no compromise in the face of big rights and wrongs. In this matter, those who follow me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish!"
