Monument Yangmen

Chapter 313 Slave Replacement
When Yang Yansi arrived at the square of the City Lord's Mansion, he didn't say much. He just read out the reward policy for soldiers formulated earlier.

No vehement rhetoric, in ancient times, was more inspiring than a tangible reward.

After the reward policy was announced, the three armies officially set out under the leadership of Yang Yanding to fully recover the territory of Jiaozhi Kingdom.

The army went out and dispatched one-third of the soldiers in Licheng.

After Huyan Chijin and Yang Yansi kept warm for a few days, he and Yang Yanguang led their 4 troops to Miza City.

The two cavalry were newly established, and all armaments and training needed to be started from scratch.

At present, Yang Yansi's main source of minerals is the deep mountains, and the base for casting armor and weapons is also in Miza.

Huyan Chijin and Yang Yanguang eagerly wanted to equip their cavalry and start a series of training.

The Shenji camp under Huang Quan did not return to the secret letter for the time being, but was sent out by Yang Yansi to accept the refugees and grassroots sent from the Song Dynasty.

Yang Yansi was not idle either. He received Wang Mingcheng who came from Mi Zha to report the situation to him in Licheng City Lord's Mansion.

In the City Lord's Mansion, the two sat down.

Wang Mingcheng reported: "My lord, in October this autumn, in our city of Miza, the big boat built by the boat workshop has already been launched."

Yang Yansi asked: "All of them are large ships carrying thousands of people. How many ships were built in total?"

Wang Mingcheng bowed and said, "There are 110 and [-] ships in total."

Yang Yansi frowned, "It's not enough. I'll assign some cochin males to you later, and order them to work day and night. I need a thousand big ships."

Wang Mingcheng looked a bit embarrassed, "My lord, the craftsmen in the shipyard are limited, even if we give more slaves to speed up the speed of casting ships, it will be very small."

Yang Yansi frowned and hesitated for a moment.

"Mingcheng, we've known each other for almost a year, right?"

Wang Mingcheng hesitated and said, "Less than a year, more than seven months."

Yang Yansi sighed and said: "Mingcheng, you are also the first old man to take refuge in me. You can say that you have contributed a lot to this battle of Jiaozhi."

Wang Mingcheng lowered his head and said in a deep voice, "Subordinates dare not take credit for it."

Yang Yansi waved his hand and said: "You don't have to be humble, I will see all your dedication. When the whole territory of Jiaozhi is recovered, I plan to divide Jiaozhi into three prefectures. There is a seat for the mansion, which is specially reserved for you. of."

Wang Mingcheng was astonished, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Immediately, he calmed down.

Yang Yansi has such a generous gift, so there must be a request.

He has followed Yang Yansi for half a year. As a person who is good at speculating, he has already figured out a little trace of Yang Yansi's way of doing things.

Sure enough, after throwing out the bait, Yang Yansi continued: "Mingcheng, I need you to do one thing to prove that you are qualified to sit on the government platform."

Wang Mingcheng bowed almost without hesitation and said: "Your Excellency, just give orders, and my subordinates will definitely die."

Yang Yansi waved his hand and signaled Wang Mingcheng to sit down, "It's not too difficult. You just need to escort the captives of Jiaozhi all the way up the coast to the Liao Kingdom, in exchange for some Han people to come back."

Isn't that difficult?

Wang Mingcheng had never heard of population replacement in the form of a state.

Traveling thousands of miles across mountains and rivers, just to replace the population?
This is not worth the candle, right?
Fortunately, Wang Mingcheng is a Han Chinese. After thinking about it, he understood Yang Yansi's intention.

Compared with the Han people and the Cochin people, one Han person is far more than ten Cochin people.

Especially when it comes to farming.

Right now Yang Yansi is still gathering slang and bureaucrats.

Yang Yansi has no shortage of soldiers who can recruit and fight well, but what he lacks is Han people who can farm.

Cochin people are lazy and don't do production, so they can't be compared with Han people at all.

Wang Mingcheng hesitated and said: "My lord, the journey from Jiaozhi to Liao is far away, far beyond the land of thousands of miles. It is not worth the loss to replace the population this time, right? Why not send the Jiaozhi people to the Song Dynasty directly through Yongzhou, And then recruit Han people from the Song Dynasty?"

Yang Yansi picked up the teacup, glared at Wang Mingcheng, took a sip of the tea, and then sighed: "You think I haven't thought about this problem? These cochin slobs are all sent to Da Song, and they are easy to be exposed. At most It can only be replaced once or twice, and it cannot be replaced for a long time at all.

Liao State is different, I believe Liao people will use a whip to tell these cochin lazy people what diligence is.

Besides, according to my budget, after the series of wars, the remaining population of Cochin is not much.

The population is extremely scarce, and to make up for such a big gap, we need to use more methods together.

Even if it is cheating and abducting, the population of Cochin has to be piled up.

You also don't want the Jiaozhi that we brought down to become a wasteland because of the sparse population, right?

So, what's the point of knocking it down? "

Wang Mingcheng clasped his fists and said: "This subordinate understands. This subordinate will go to prepare now. I wonder how many cochin males your lord will transport in the first batch?"

Yang Yansi pondered for a while, and said: "I remember that Hou Renbao must have built and mobilized a lot of large ships when he attacked Jiaozhi. Collecting these ships, together with the 8 ships we built, should be able to transport [-] to [-] people.

In the first batch, 8 to [-] people will be transported there. "

"What is the replacement ratio? It is impossible for the Liao people to replace us without taking advantage of it."

"First use three to two, if it doesn't work, then two to one. In short, the ratio should not exceed two to one."

"My subordinate understands."

Yang Yansi solemnly said: "With a population of 50 people, whether you are cheating, abducting, or stealing, if you get 50 people, you can take office immediately."

"50 million?!"

Wang Mingcheng was stunned. It took more than two months to travel along the coast from Jiaozhi to Liao, and another two months to return.It takes more than four months to go back and forth, and 8 to 4 people are transported there each time, and only [-] to [-] people are replaced according to the ratio.

According to this calculation, how long will he have to change?
Five years?

Yang Yansi seemed to see Wang Mingcheng's thoughts. He laughed softly and said, "You are such an elm head. The men we sent over are all cochin males, and they are not lacking in stamina. Why can't you use your brain? Three Cochin men For a man, replace one Han man. Why can’t one cochin man be exchanged for three Han women and children?"

Wang Mingcheng said in surprise: "Women and children too?"

Yang Yansi nodded and said: "I don't care how many women and children you change, but you must know that the ratio of strong and strong must not be less than half. After all, there is no shortage of women and children in cochin."

"My subordinate understands!"

Wang Mingcheng left the city lord's mansion and found the relatives of the Wang family who followed him to Licheng.

He told the relatives of the Wang family about Yang Yansi's promise to give him the location of Yifutai.

The relatives of the Wang family were overjoyed when they learned about it.
