Chapter 1423 is not far from the subjugation of the country
Facing these refugees who still had panic and fear on their faces, Wei Zheng tried his best to speak softly and in a gentle tone, and said: "His Royal Highness King Qin An has issued an order that all the people of Sui Dynasty who are in trouble should come to me, Fan Yang.
The three counties of Donglai and Shanggu have defected to us. The officials of our three counties will not drive them away. They will accept them all and try their best to give everyone a way to survive. Just outside my Dongyang County, I have also arranged to set up tents and shacks.
The materials have also been prepared. You fellow villagers will settle down in this county first and wait for some rest. After the disaster is over, it will not be too late to return to your hometown."
Originally, according to Wang Junlin's intention, as long as these refugees came, they would not be let back. When the "ideological work" was almost done, they would be moved to Yancheng. As the scale of various factories and workshops continued to expand, there was a gap in the number of craftsmen.
It is getting bigger and bigger. According to the latest statistical results provided by Liu Ziming to Wang Junlin, it still needs hundreds of thousands of people.
In addition, Wang Junlin controls thousands of islands, large and small, overseas, which also require a large number of people to settle down and take root, so that they can truly become an island in China, or even the Annan Kingdom on the Goguryeo Peninsula. Wang Junlin also wants to continue to immigrate there, and continue to
Assimilation made Annan Kingdom unknowingly truly become a genus of China.
Of course, after they go there, Wang Junlin will arrange for people to allocate fields to them, help them build homes, establish villages and towns, and let them return home.
And those who insist on returning to their hometowns will not be stopped according to Wang Junlin's wishes. These people will naturally spread the benevolent policies of King Qin An when they go back. Tens of millions of people in the Sui Dynasty have a reputation in their hearts, which is consistent with the Sui Dynasty court.
Comparing the government's treatment of the people affected by the disaster this time, it is obvious what the people want. When Wang Junlin leads the army to conquer the world next time, the people in some places may welcome him and may become a member of the Far East Army.
…
…
Extremely cruel facts prove that the officials in various places in the Sui Dynasty have absolutely no ability to rescue the refugees!
Within half a month, urgent documents reporting disasters from more than 20 counties and hundreds of counties flew into Luoyang like snowflakes. Each document clearly told the emperor and officials in charge of the Sui Dynasty that this county
A large number of people have begun to flee the disaster.
The destinations of the refugees, except for a small number of people who fled to Fanyang County, Donglai County, and Shanggu County, some went south and found a way to cross the river to the south of the Yangtze River. Some also crossed the Qinling Mountains and went to Sichuan and Sichuan, but there were also the destinations of nearly half of the refugees.
But it was Luoyang, the capital of the Sui Dynasty!
Officials from all over the country were frightened, but they told Yang Guang very clearly that they wanted food and military pay, but we were unable to provide disaster relief or prevent the emergence of refugees!
"Your Majesty, the number of refugees in Guanzhong has reached one million, and the number is still increasing. Because there is no food, the state and county governments forcibly block the refugees outside the city. Some large mobilization households are giving porridge outside the city, but they are only a drop in the bucket.
Salary cannot solve the problem. The refugees have already begun to come to the capital of the Central Plains." Pei Shiju told the Sui Emperor Yang Guang the truth in the Luoyang Palace.
Yang Guang's face was so gloomy that he could shed tears, but he suppressed his anger and prevented himself from losing his composure in front of hundreds of civil and military officials.
"My dear friends, although there have been some refugees in the past few years, this time there are so many refugees in a short period of time. If you are not careful, they will be incited by the thieves in Wagang Village and all of them will turn into traitors. How should we deal with it?
Crisis?" At this time, Yang Guang no longer cared about venting his anger on the palace maids and eunuchs. Although he had given up on himself since coming back from Yanmen County, he did not want to subjugate the country. However, as long as the current situation was not handled properly, the Sui Dynasty would be very dangerous.
It may be finished immediately.
There was dead silence in the whole place, and no one answered Yang Guang's words.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say..." Su Wei glanced at Yang Guang hesitantly, gritted his teeth, and finally said.
"What good idea does Su Aiqing have?" Yang Guang looked at Su Wei with expectant eyes, as if hoping that a miracle would come out of his mouth.
"I believe that during this critical period, if Wagang Village, Li Yuan of Taiyuan, Wang Junlin of Fanyang County, and other rebels suddenly send troops to invade other counties, our Sui Dynasty will be in danger." Su Wei's words were shocking.
Although this was only a possibility, everyone's expressions changed drastically. The fear in Yang Guang's heart was revealed on his face. He could not hide it. He lost his sense and staggered to his feet. He asked anxiously: "What if all the rebels rebel?"
If we really send troops to attack the counties, how should we respond?"
Pei Shiju sighed and said: "Your Majesty, we can no longer take care of all the rebels. The first thing we need to guard against right now is that the refugees will not be exploited by thieves with ulterior motives. The consequences will be disastrous!"
Yang Guang sighed distractedly and said, "Your Majesty, please think of a way to resettle the refugees and provide disaster relief as soon as possible."
Zhang Jike suddenly said: "I hate those grain merchants. Despite repeated orders from the imperial court, they still have to raise the price of grain. These victims are not fully clothed, so how can they have money to buy grain? And there are not a few wealthy families in Guanzhong who have been affected by the disaster who have accumulated grain, but
At this time of national crisis, very few have come forward to provide relief.”
Zhang Jike complained bitterly and at the same time glanced at many officials from the Guanlong noble family in the palace. He knew that the aristocratic families behind these people were the largest grain merchants.
"Your Majesty, I have a plan that will not only solve the problem of refugees gathering in the capital, but also contain Wang Junlin's Far Eastern Army." Xu Jingzong, the commander of the Blue Guards, suddenly said.
Yang Guang was overjoyed when he heard this and said, "If Xu Aiqing has any good ideas, tell me quickly."
Xu Jingzong said: "I received news that some refugees went to Fanyang County, Donglai County and Shanggu County controlled by Wang Junlin. However, Wang Junlin not only did not drive the refugees out, but also asked the local counties to provide food for the refugees.
And settled them down. What I mean is that since the king is here to fish for fame, we might as well drive all the refugees to Fanyang County, Donglai County and Shanggu County. In this way, we will not only solve the problem of the refugees, but also solve the problems of the refugees.
Leave it to Wang Junlin to consume their food and energy so that they have no time to send troops to attack other counties."
When Yang Guang heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Xu Aiqing's strategy is very clever, and it kills two birds with one stone."
Suwei hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, this move will completely make your Majesty and the court lose the support of the people, while Wang Junlin will win the support of the people. I think this move is inappropriate..."
Yang Guang snorted coldly and said: "If you think it's inappropriate, tell me what good ideas you have. If you can come up with a better idea than what Xu Jingzong said, I will implement it as you say."
Su Wei blushed and was speechless for a moment.
Yu Shiji and Pei Shiju were hesitant to speak. Zhang Jike sighed in his heart: "The emperor is simply digging his own grave. He is extremely stupid. He doesn't have food to save his people. He even sends troops to drive them away. Little did he know that this was done."
, but it is the most thorough self-rooting, and we are not far away from the country’s subjugation.”
