Monument Yangmen

Chapter 337 Wang Mingcheng's Life Direction
Highbury was taken down like a dead dog.

After a quarter of an hour or so, a sumptuous table of food and wine was placed on the table.

Wang Mingcheng stepped over the threshold and saw Yang Yansi sitting in the middle of the main hall, and immediately knelt down on the ground, crying.

"Your Majesty Wang Mingcheng, please greet the King."

Yang Yansi got up, stopped the sleeve robe, took two steps in three steps, walked to Wang Mingcheng, and helped him up, "Mingcheng, we don't like this in southern China."

Wang Mingcheng stood up with Yang Yansi's support, and said excitedly: "Your Majesty has bestowed upon you generously, and I am ashamed to accept it."

Yang Yansi dragged Wang Mingcheng to the table with rich food and wine, and sat down.

"Mingcheng, this trip to the east of the Liao Kingdom has replaced nearly [-] people in the southern kingdom. It can be said that you have made great achievements. You deserve to be promoted. Also, don't call me the king, the king .

According to the imperial edict bestowed by the Song Kingdom, the ruler of the Southern Kingdom is Yi Xi, not me.

You can still call me an adult. "

Wang Mingcheng wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded sincerely.

Yang Yansi personally poured wine for Wang Mingcheng, and Wang Mingcheng was flattered to hold the wine glass.

After the two sat down, they didn't talk much, and drank four or five cups with the wine glass. After Wang Mingcheng calmed down, Yang Yansi asked: "Mingcheng, what have you gained from entering the Liao Kingdom this time? I'll tell you."

"Hmm..." Wang Mingcheng put down his wine glass, meditated for a while, typed out his manuscript, and said, "Reply to my lord, this time I entered the Liao Kingdom in the east, and it took four months, and I spent most of the time at sea.

When the minister went, nearly a thousand of the cochin men who were escorted died on the way.Most of them died of suffocation, and some died of internal fighting.

I think that when I go next time, I should pay attention to this aspect.

The minister came to the Liao Kingdom in the twelfth lunar month of this year. According to the instructions of the adults, he contacted the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom as soon as he landed, and sent a lot of gold and silver.

With gold and silver paving the way, the minister's plan to replace the population went smoothly.

The cochin males who were escorted in the past basically replaced the Han people in the Liao Kingdom at a ratio of five to four.As for those old and weak women and children, there was no need for ministers to replace them. The nobles of the Liao Kingdom felt that those people were burdensome, so they directly gave them to the ministers.

In addition, Chen wanted to publicize the life in the southern country, which also attracted some Han people to follow Chen secretly.

Therefore, the combined population exceeded 8 people.

The nobles of the Liao Kingdom also knew about this, but they almost turned a blind eye to it.

When I came back, there were not enough boats, so I paid them to rent boats, and they didn't hesitate to rent them all to Chen.

At present, the number of ships in our fleet is [-]% more than when Bichen went to Liao. "

Hearing this, Yang Yansi nodded in relief, picked up the wine glass and touched Wang Mingcheng, drank it down, put down the wine glass, and said: "You did a good job, as long as you open the gap from the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, the future population replacement plan , it will go more smoothly.

It can be said that your success in the first battle is indispensable. "

"grown ups……"

Wang Mingcheng hesitated to speak.

Yang Yansi smiled and said: "Say something directly, don't hesitate, if you have something to ask, I will consider it as appropriate."

Wang Mingcheng pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice: "I hope to continue traveling between the Liao Kingdom and the Southern Kingdom, and continue to implement the population replacement plan."

Yang Yansi was stunned, and said doubtfully: "You have already opened the gap, and the rest can be left to other people. Could it be that you dislike the small area under the jurisdiction of the Harbor Government?
I can tell you responsibly, don't look at the small area under the jurisdiction of Harbor City, but the future development of Harbor City is not comparable to other provinces.According to my estimation, as long as the Harbor Government develops, the tax it receives every year can exceed half of the annual tax of Song Dynasty. "

Hearing Yang Yansi say that, Wang Mingcheng was surprised.

Wang Mingcheng knew very well how much money was paid in Song Dynasty's annual taxes, which was more than half.

Wang Mingcheng lowered his head in silence, and after a while, he raised his head, looked at Yang Yansi firmly, and said, "My lord, the reason why I want to continue running between the two countries in southern Liaoning is not because I dislike the small area under the jurisdiction of the Harbor House. Rather... the minister was in Liao, and after seeing the life of the Han people in Liao, his heart was greatly shaken. They lived too hard.

I have never seen anyone living a more miserable life than them.

Chen wanted to rescue more people as soon as possible.

Although the door of the nobles of the Liao Kingdom was knocked open, but another person was sent there, the Liao people might not accept it, and the ministers still manipulated the matter.Not only can you get twice the result with half the effort, but you can also get more Han people from the Liao people. "

Yang Yansi frowned, stared at Wang Mingcheng, and said in a deep voice, "Have you thought it through?"

Wang Mingcheng looked sincere, and said solemnly: "I have never been so clear as I am now. I am also a Han Chinese..."

Yang Yansi let out a long sigh, "Now the southern country is short of manpower, let alone great talents in the country. Originally, I wanted to put you in an important position. Since you insist on continuing to replace the population, then let's do it.

I will reserve the position of your Haigang Mansion's office for you. Later, I will temporarily assign an agent's office to the Haigang Mansion.

Whenever you want to take up the post of the Harbor Government, you will take the post as soon as possible. "

Wang Mingcheng got up, clasped his fists and bowed, "Thank you, my lord, for your kindness."

"Let's not talk about this, let's eat. After wandering at sea for a long time, you must miss these food and drink, right?"

"I really want to..."

The two ate and drank together, talking and laughing until the moon rose.

Wang Mingcheng, and the subordinates led by Wang Mingcheng indulged in the Hong Kong-Macau Ferry Terminal for three days.

Three days later, Wang Mingcheng handed over all the Han people he brought back to Yang Yansi, and then took his mighty fleet, escorted the men of Jiaozhi, and embarked on the journey again.

This is the journey that belongs to Wang Mingcheng.

Wang Mingcheng, a man who was coerced by his family and had to make a living from the time he first took refuge in Yang Yansi, finally found his direction in life.

Then, he started to move forward silently in this direction.

Yang Yansi watched Wang Mingcheng's fleet leave with mixed emotions in his heart.

He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in agreeing to Wang Mingcheng's request.

In the Liao region, there are nearly 500 million Han people. With Wang Mingcheng's method of replacement, when will the replacement be completed?

Yang Yansi roughly estimated that it would take 25 years.

This is still without any obstruction.

Once the Liao people discovered the laziness of the cochin males, they were compared with the diligent Han people.Who would change with Wang Mingcheng again?

If you keep Wang Mingcheng in Haigang Mansion and help him manage the Harbor Mansion, maybe within three years, Haigang Mansion will become rich.

With a lot of money, Yang Yansi can quickly equip more troops.

In comparison, it is far more cost-effective for Wang Mingcheng to stay in the Harbor Mansion than to implement the replacement plan himself.
