Chapter 34 Refugees
Li Xiaofan nodded to the disciples around him and walked towards the outside of the city.
"Baozi, hot buns, thin-skinned buns with big fillings..."
"Tanghulu, sour and sweet candied haws..."
……
After leaving the villa, I walked along the spacious streets, looking at the bustling and noisy scenes around me, and nodded with satisfaction. In this chaotic world, this scene would only appear in Xiangyang City.
Xiangyang City has complete management regulations. No one dares to cause trouble here. As long as the people and businessmen pay taxes according to the standards, they will get the protection they deserve.
This was something he focused on when compiling the textbook.
Born in a world with strict laws in later generations, he has a unique understanding of law.
Of course, he is also selfish and will not act stupidly like the emperor who breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty.
In his opinion, in this era, it is enough to protect the interests of the people to the greatest extent.
Man follows the earth, earth follows heaven, heaven follows Tao, and Tao follows nature.
Everything needs to follow universal laws and cannot be unconventional or independent.
The reason why Wang Mang failed in history was that he was too unique, went against the universal laws of the time, and went against the interests of most people.
Since you are in this era, you must take the laws of this era as the core and add some of your own ideas.
Otherwise, he is sure that if he really does what he did in later generations, the empire he built will fall apart quickly after he leaves.
Suppressing these thoughts, I admired the bustling street scene with a smile.
"The war between Mongolia and Xixia caused an influx of refugees into Xiangyang City. I wonder if it will affect us?"
"This depends on the attitude of the Xiangyang magistrate towards the Han people of Xixia."
"Alas...these Han people in Xixia are also pitiful people. I hope the prefect of Xiangyang can properly resettle them."
……
Li Xiaofan listened to these words, smiled and continued walking towards the outside of the city. He might have been worried before.
But with sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn here, we can solve any number of refugees.
He already has ideas in mind on how to resettle these refugees.
After discussing with Huang Yaoshi, he asked the Beggar Clan to spread the news and attract the Han people from Xixia to Xiangyang.
When Xixia was at its most powerful, it had a population of more than two million, most of whom were Han Chinese. In order not to be assimilated by the Han people, they implemented policies to suppress the Han people.
Therefore, the status of the Han people in Xixia is not high, and they have always lived under high-pressure rule. I believe that after hearing the news, they will rush to Xiangyang impatiently.
At that time, our own power base will usher in a wave of rapid enhancement.
As long as we absorb these refugees and add the benefits of sweet potatoes, potatoes and corn, we will be able to conquer the world in no time.
"I'll see the owner of the village."
When the sergeants guarding the city gate saw Li Xiaofan arriving, they all knelt down on one knee.
"No courtesy." Li Xiaofan waved his hand and slowly climbed up the city wall.
When I came to the female wall, I held my hands on the wall stacks and lowered my head to look down.
Seeing a lot of refugees wearing shabby clothes among the endless flow of people, I frowned slightly.
It seems that the regulations for the resettlement of the refugees need to be finalized as soon as possible to minimize the casualties of the refugees.
Tap tap tap...
"The army moves forward, and the idlers make way."
Upon hearing this, the people around him consciously retreated to both sides of the street, making way for the army to pass through a spacious road.
The sergeants guarding the city gate quickly dispersed the people at the city gate to both sides.
“I don’t know what happened, but so many troops were dispatched.”
"What are you afraid of? Have you ever seen the Xiangyang defenders lose a battle in the past few years?"
"That's right, as long as the city guards are here, we don't need to worry too much."
……
The people around looked at them with reverence, and the city guards in the middle of the street started talking quietly.
In recent years, the city guards have often been dispatched to sweep away bandits in the surrounding areas, thus ensuring stability around Xiangyang City.
Only then can they live a stable life. In addition, the city guards have strict military laws and have never harassed the people.
All the people understand in their hearts how happy it is to have such a well-disciplined army guarding them in this troubled world. Naturally, they respect these soldiers from the bottom of their hearts.
The army quickly arrived outside the city and formed a formation. Behind them were more than 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, controlling the carriages and forming a neat formation.
Li Xiaofan jumped lightly, and his figure flew down the tower like a fallen leaf, and came to stand in front of the army.
Brush——
All the sergeants held shields and spears and knelt down in unison.
"See the owner."
"You'll get up soon."
A gentle and calm voice sounded in the ears of every sergeant.
Upon hearing this, all the sergeants stood up and looked at Li Xiaofan with reverence.
Huang Yaoshi came over with a group of war horses: "Master, please mount the horses."
Li Xiaofan nodded, jumped on the horse and led the way.
Huang Yaoshi got on his horse, waved to the army behind him, and followed them on horseback.
The army received the order and followed behind under the command of the general.
"Master, when do you plan to announce your existence to the world?" Huang Yaoshi drove his horse and slowly followed Li Xiaofan, asking softly.
It is very important to compete for world reputation. It is not okay for the owner of the village to hide behind the scenes.
Judging from a lot of information, the war between Mongolia and Xixia is coming to an end, and it is time for our own forces to start to compete for hegemony in the world.
"How is the infiltration of the Song Dynasty army?" Li Xiaofan said with a thoughtful look on his face.
"We have already controlled the fourth level of the Song Dynasty's army. If you give me another year, we can increase it to 60%." Huang Yaoshi said, stroking his beard.
Only with Shi Miyuan's full help and the assistance of measuring money can such results be achieved.
Li Xiaofan nodded, very satisfied with the progress. He tilted his head and smiled at Huang Yaoshi: "There is no rush to become famous. We will wait until Xixia is destroyed."
Now is not the time. Reputation is important, but he values strength more.
As long as you have the power to dominate the world, what kind of reputation do you want?
Besides, if you want to plot against Mongolia, it is best not to expose your own strength.
As your reputation grows, it will attract the attention of countless forces, and then many things will no longer be hidden.
He still prefers to hide behind the scenes and slowly calculate.
Huang Yaoshi could only nod his head when he heard this. Since the owner of the village had no intention of promoting his reputation, he couldn't say much, so he thought for a while and said.
"Mongolia has begun to send people to the Song Dynasty to discuss the alliance between the two countries. Are we seeking some benefits from it?"
If Mongolia wants to reduce its losses in the war to destroy the Jin Dynasty, it must form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. Of course, it also does not want the Song Dynasty to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.
Now that you know this, if you don't seek some benefits from it, you will appear to be incompetent.
Moreover, after the fall of the Jin Kingdom, Mongolia’s next target must be the Song Dynasty.
