I Am Not an Ant Thief of the Three Kingdoms Chapter 688: The Family Heads North
Facing Daqian's more than 300,000 troops stationed in Jingzhou, people like Pang Degong were sad, but they were also afraid that their family would suffer a devastating blow like the Yizhou clan.
Pang Degong said sadly: "Of course I don't dare to disobey the governor's order. I just ask the governor to give me some time. This June will be the exam day for Jidu Mechanical University. Let me and other family members have time to take the exam. I will wait for the family to take the exam." Can the relocation be arranged after the autumn harvest this year?"
Yang Feng nodded and agreed to their condition. After all, this was the relocation of hundreds of thousands of people. If they were too impatient, unrest would easily occur. If they were given a few months to prepare, they would be better prepared!
Compared to Yang Feng, who was very vocal and arrogant, Fan Xian from Yangzhou directly notified the noble families in various counties in Yangzhou in writing to let them prepare to move their families. He did not care about any difficulties these people had or any of their problems. He said farewell to the noble families who begged for mercy and voluntarily left Yangzhou. For the noble families who still wanted to resist Daqian's army, Fan Xian directly led the army to surround the Wubao of these families.
Directly let the army break into Wubao, capture all the people in Wubao, and then use transport ships to transport these noble people to Yizhou and Spice Island. These two places have always been short of population. Facing Fan Xian's They welcomed these people with great enthusiasm. In places like Yizhou and Spice Island, even if the disabled people came, Bao Xin said they were willing to accept it. At least they could command the savages to do things.
In this way, Fan Xian destroyed 5 Wubao along the way and forcibly exiled tens of thousands of noble clan members. This method completely frightened the wealthy clansmen in Yangzhou. They no longer had any illusions. Otherwise, they would follow Da Gan's orders. Disperse the family and move to the Central Plains, or simply continue south to follow Liu Bei. At least Liu Bei will not kill them all, and they can't stay in Yangzhou any longer.
To be honest, I have been reading books recently to catch up on updates, switch sources, read aloud with many sounds, and it can be used on both Android and Apple.]
As for the wealthy nobles who had fled from the Central Plains to Yangzhou, he was relatively lucky and did not have to leave their hometown again. However, the large family with tens of thousands of people with the same surname was no longer allowed to remain. They were broken up by Fan Xian into hundreds of parts and dispersed. Among the various villages in Yangzhou, the number of people in each village does not exceed 30, making it difficult for them to form a large clan force, and the core children of these families were moved to Danyang County.
Fan Xian already knew that Xu Wei wanted to develop the south of the Yangtze River, and also wanted to make Danyang County the southern capital. So of course Fan Xian would think of ways to expand the population of Chaisang, and prepare in advance for the establishment of the southern capital in the future!
In Jingzhou next door, Fan Xian's methods scared the nobles in Jingzhou, and the entire family was exiled overseas if they disagreed. They originally thought that Yang Feng was ruthless enough. However, they did not expect that Fan Xian's methods in Yangzhou were even more vicious and ruthless. .
They exiled their family without even notifying them. By comparison, Yang Feng seemed a little kind-hearted. In this way, Yang Feng and Fan Xian powerfully moved and dispersed the entire Jiangnan aristocratic family, and the whole Jiangnan began to change the world. Variety.
It’s been 6 years since I started working, mid-April!
The noble families in Jingzhou went north to Jidu one by one with their core children. This was not only to take the entrance examination at Jidu Mechanical University, but also to examine the environment of the areas along the way and lay the foundation for their family's next migration. If the family's children did not pass the entrance examination , spreading the family out along the way.
They have finally seen clearly that in the current environment of Daqian, the previous clan society and the system of powerful gentry can no longer adapt to this environment. If they don't change, Daqian will force them to change, and then it will become a problem. There is no penalty for toasting.
It is extremely important to find a good place to take root. Taking the children of the family to take the exam will allow them to examine the situation in various places in the Central Plains. Of course, for them, the best thing is for their children to be admitted to the University of Mechanical Engineering, so that they can Being able to take root in Jidu is also the most likely way to join the Daqian imperial court. Therefore, for many families, this exam can be said to be the last resort. If they fail, the family may die.
Therefore, there were an unusually large number of people going north this time, including students from the academy and ordinary tribesmen. They were close together, as huge as an army!
When they crossed the limits of Nanyang County, they arrived in Yuzhou. But the students of Shuijing Academy found that the whole world seemed to have changed. Yuzhou had been occupied by Daqian for several years. Although it was the front line of the war, Daqian A lot of resources have been invested, and the infrastructure has been relatively complete. It is far from being comparable to the backward Jingzhou. They saw much more fertile fields, canals, and waterwheels than Jingzhou along the way.
Seeing such a scene, Pang Tong couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder, the generals are no match for Lei Gong. Just look at these farmlands to see the strength of Da Gan. It is much stronger than our Jingzhou."
Zhuge Liang was curious. He saw thousands of peasants doing corvées along the way, but there were no troops around to guard them, and these peasants did not see anyone escaping.
He left the team out of curiosity and asked: "Old man, why are there no troops stationed around here?"
The old man laughed and said: "What you, a scholar, are asking is so strange. You are doing things for your own family, so what kind of troops are stationed? Do you think that today's Daqian are the same as Dahan? We Daqian do not have corvee work, and the court wants us to do it." Things also require money!"
Zhuge Liang looked at the four long wooden tracks: "Are you building wooden tracks?"
Wooden rails are the most powerful weapon of Daqian. Jingzhou also wanted to build rails, but the humid environment in the south can easily cause wood to rot. Iron-clad wood, but iron is also easy to rust. In addition, Jiangnan maintains 300,000 The army has exhausted its financial resources and naturally has no ability to build wooden rails. Zhuge Liang has only heard of wooden rails, but this is the first time he has seen them in real form!
Then he asked curiously: "Where will this wooden track be connected?"
The old man smiled and said: "Of course it will connect the entire Yuzhou!"
There was no corvee in Daqian, but the number of farmers employed exceeded that of previous dynasties, and more than tens of millions of civilians were mobilized in a year. It can be said that the number of people mobilized in one year exceeded the number of corvees in the Han Dynasty in 200 years.
During the off-season, it has always been a basic national policy of Daqian to allow a large number of farmers to invest in infrastructure construction. Recruiting these peasants is free of charge. Under normal circumstances, it is enough to provide them with food, and the local people are happy to accept food.
In the past two years, the grain harvest has continued to be bumper. Not only the official warehouses of Daqian were full, but also the civilian warehouses of the common people. Many people even built new houses specifically to house the grain, so that the grain could be used again. To recruit people, everyone was a little reluctant to go. However, the Daqian government immediately changed its thinking and transported a large amount of steel farm tools, cattle, cloth and other daily necessities to recruit people. At the same time, it also solved the problem of the Daqian industrial product market. Kill two birds with one stone.
