Chapter 017: Wang Shichong
Yang Tong knew very well that these disaster victims were gathered together in clan groups, and their dozens of clans would elect a representative, which was highly organized. If each clan was resettled in the same Zhuangzi village, once
If life is unsatisfactory, under the influence of someone, it will cause trouble again. Only breaking it into a piece of loose sand is the best way to eradicate future troubles.
However, Yang Tong didn't go too far. Close relatives within ten households could still stay together.
On the same day, a large number of ships were dispatched to the city. Every time a household was registered, they were given a sign with the family's basic information and the place where they would be resettled!
Then officials were sent from Luoyang to introduce the policies of Hebei Province from county to county, and asked them to rush to Luoyang and Yanshi, where the Si River was concentrated, and the residence and transportation along the way were managed by the government.
Henan County is the heart of the world and is already overcrowded, and these victims from all directions are a big trouble like a time bomb for officials everywhere. Now Yang Tong is willing to take over, and everyone wants it, even if Yang Tong does not use his power to force
, officials from various places also voluntarily and voluntarily provide various conveniences.
Of course, even if the officials and the army cooperate fully, such a large-scale migration is not a simple matter. It sounds simple at first, but when it is done, all aspects must be taken into consideration. The existence of the Yellow River is an insurmountable natural barrier on both sides of the strait.
There were simply not enough crew members. In the end, in order to save time, the boats could only be sent across the Yellow River, and the victims were first sent to Hanoi County, and then walked to Ji County, where they were then dispersed to various resettlement sites.
Among the migrating people, there were both good and bad people, and there were many young and rogue people. However, as long as they were willing to leave, Yang Tong would not refuse them. However, these people were often prone to making troubles. Fortunately, there were officers and soldiers following along the way to deal with these matters.
In addition, the migration route, how to ensure food along the way, and where the migrating people will live, all need to be considered. As for how to resettle when they arrive, it is not very difficult.
Hebei Province has been in chaos for seven or eight years and is in short supply of people.
Yang Gongren and Yang Shidao reported back that Hebei Road can accommodate a population of tens of millions. Many houses can be used with a little repair. This time there is a large influx of people, which is just in time to revitalize these houses.
As for being unable to feed these people?
Just kidding, Yang Tong, who had several large granaries in the Sui Dynasty, didn't worry about the food problem at all. At worst, he would just replenish it when the benefits came.
Therefore, after Yang Tong counted the victims, he began to attack the poor people in Henan County. He tried his best, even using some deceptive means, to move the population to Hebei Road, without worrying about being unable to feed these people.
His biggest magic weapon is that Hebei Province will build a "voluntary school" with free board and lodging in the future, and children from 8 to 10 years old can attend.
This promise made the poor people in the county relocate without hesitation.
The mentality of hoping that one's son will succeed has been the same from ancient times to the present. Everyone is not exempt from vulgarity, and the "liberal learning" also cuts into their weaknesses.
At first, because of the implementation of the recommendation system of the nine-level Zhongzheng system, it was useless for poor people to study. When the imperial examination system appeared, the people had a door to enter the officialdom. However, because the cost of studying was too high, they could only look back and sigh. Now they have full board and lodging.
Who wants to suffer for their children if they don’t have to go to school for free?
In fact, it is not difficult to understand, just like parents nowadays say that children cannot lose at the starting line.
For free learning, noble families and nobles looked down upon them.
As early as Yang Jian's period, due to the imperfection of the imperial examination system and the unsatisfactory promotion of culture and education, the aristocratic families and nobles obtained more outstanding children from poor families through marriages and fake sons and disciples. This also directly led to the rise of the wise and martial Yang Jian.
In his later years, he did the biggest stupid thing. He ordered the abolition of schools, demolished the Imperial College, Imperial College, and prefecture and county colleges, and directly did not allow people to study.
They didn't think Yang Tong could do something that even Yang Jian and Yang Guang couldn't do.
At the same time, King Yang Tan of Yan, who was far away in Jiangdu, finally arrived in mid-February of the 13th year of Daye after more than a month.
At noon, a large group of Xiaoguo troops rushed over surrounded by Yang Tan. He was wearing a royal robe, a jade belt around his waist, a golden crown on his head, red lips and white teeth, eyebrows like soft swords, and eyes like stars. He was extremely handsome.
After Yang Tong was reborn, he felt that his appearance was already quite good, but when compared with this elder brother, the gap became clear. No wonder Yang Guang favored him so much, maybe because seeing him was like seeing himself when he was young.
"Little brother has met big brother!" Yang Tong took the lead in saluting.
"Greetings to His Highness King Yan, congratulations to His Majesty for taking up the post of Dongdu Governor!" In order to make a good impression on their new boss, the Luoyang officials who stayed behind were also excited and immediately bent down to salute. They all roared loudly, making it extremely lively.
"Hahaha! There's no need to be polite." Yang Tan's voice was very magnetic, with a sense of majesty in the softness, and a certain distance in the intimacy.
"Thank you, brother" "Thank you, Your Highness"
Everyone responded quickly in unison.
Yang Tan jumped off the horse and helped Yang Tong himself. A trace of apology flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by pride. He smiled and said: "Second brother, thank you for your hard work!"
Yang Tong shook his head and said: "It's not hard! It's the same everywhere."
Yang Tan didn't say anything, he patted his shoulder heavily, and the people accompanying him saluted Yang Tong one after another.
"The last general, Wang Shichong, pays homage to His Highness the King of Qin! Congratulations to the King of Qin for assuming the post of Shangshu Ling of Xingtai, Hebei Province."
"General Wang, no need to be polite!"
Yang Tong helped Wang Shichong up and looked at the hero of the late Sui Dynasty. This guy was very big, with a big belly, and his head... well, it was still big. With the appearance of a foreign barbarian, he was very recognizable.
Wang Shichong was the best at observing faces. When he saw Yang Tong and was surprised by his appearance, he smiled and said, "Actually, Xiaguan is a Hu from the Western Regions. Several generations of my family have been in the Central Plains. Later, my grandfather lived in Xinfeng. Later, my grandfather died young.
, my father remarried with my grandmother to live with the Wang family in Bacheng, so he changed his surname to Wang."
His father is a Hu, but his grandmother and mother are both Han. Therefore, although Wang Shichong has obvious Hu characteristics, he has been mixed for several generations and has never lived in the Western Regions for a day.
He grew up as a second-generation official, and his education was no different from that of the children of Guanlong officials. He has been fond of reading since he was a child, and has extensively studied classics and history, especially military books. In addition, he also likes fortune-telling and astronomical calendar calculations. He is a hobby
A bookish person.
Wang Shichong's fighting ability is quite good. At a young age, he was awarded the title of Yitong Sansi for his military exploits.
Wang Shichong was very eloquent. He was familiar with various laws and regulations, and often exploited loopholes in the law to cheat for personal gain and do whatever he wanted. Most people criticized him, but he used all kinds of clever words and sophistry to make people speechless and helpless.
After Yang Guang succeeded to the throne, Wang Shichong relied on this mouth and his observation of appearance to rise to power step by step.
Next, of course, there was a grand banquet. Yang Tan stood on the high platform and made some passionate adverbials, and everyone immediately exchanged wine glasses.
Although the protagonist is Yang Tan, Yang Tong was also toasted a lot today. Although he was assigned to Hebei Province, he was still the local emperor and his status was very high. The officials did not dare to ignore him and raised their glasses to congratulate him one by one.
Chapter completed!
