Chapter 933 Migration
In the sixth year of Taixing, drought broke out in some areas of Yongliang.

From Longyou to Guanzhong.

The imperial court and local government have long been used to it, setting up porridge sheds, using work as relief, and eating in Hanzhong, etc. They responded properly and there was no large-scale starvation phenomenon.

God seems to be planning to play a big game this time, and the scale of the drought spreads to Jingzhao, Feng Yi, and Hanzhong.

The long-term drought in Liangzhou has formed a certain scale of locust plagues, which has reduced food production in other areas that have not suffered from drought.

Fortunately, there are more than 200 million shi of grain stored in Guangtong warehouse, which can barely handle it.

But it's not a problem to sit and eat like this. The population of Daqin is ushering in a small explosion, Guanzhong is the first to bear the brunt, and the demand for food has also increased. Yang Zheng is ready to eat Luoyang again.

Wei Guan remonstrated: "There is a large population in Guanzhong, it is better to migrate part of it to fill the Jianghuai and Liaodong."

The hottest areas in the past two years are Jianghuai and Liaodong. The land is fertile and the pressure of survival is low. Especially after the introduction of Champa Rice, Jianghuai immediately became the granary of Daqin. Cities rose from the ground, attracting Yuyan in reverse. The people of Jingsanzhou came to beg for life.

After introducing a large number of Sanhan slaves, Liaodong is also changing with each passing day.

Daqin has no class on the surface, but this thing is an eternal unspoken rule.

Where there are people, there will be discrimination and hierarchy.

There is no doubt that the gentry tyrants who value inheritance are at the top of the pyramid in Liaodong. The lower layer is the Qin people, and then there are the naturalized Xianbei and Wuhuan tribes in Liaodong, and the slaves of Sanhan are at the bottom.

The Qin people became landlords one by one, and every household raised several male and female slaves.

The government not only divided the fields, but also helped them build small docks next to the fields.

Don't be too happy in this kind of life, watch the slaves work during the day, or go hunting in the deep mountains and old forests, and sleep with the female slaves at night...

There is no way, it gets dark early in autumn and winter in Liaodong, and there are only a few entertainment activities...

In just two or three years, Liaodong, a once bitterly cold place, has actually attracted a wave of baby boomers...

After all, the population of Sanhan is limited, so the tyrants turned their ideas to the country of Wa across the sea.

The slave trade was in full swing. Although the Japanese were short and thin, they were very obedient and would never resist no matter how hard or tired they were...

I don’t know who released the news. Three big golden mountains were found in the country of Wa. Each one is as high as Mount Tai. There is no need to dig it, just pick it up with a bag...

Gold, slaves, land...

In an instant, the tyrants climaxed.

Don't underestimate their desire for wealth, there is nothing they dare not do.

When the Eastern Han Dynasty was founded, it dared to fight against the emperor.

They wouldn't be so honest if Daqin's methods weren't too ruthless and cruel.

However, the Wa Kingdom is a country after all. After discovering that the northern tyrants were going south to plunder, they began to resist, and had several small naval battles with the tyrants, with each winning and losing.

Japan has a tradition of pirates since ancient times.

Although Haoqiang has a large number of people on board, there are few people who are good at water warfare. The soldiers in Hebei and Central Plains can stand firm on the swaying deck without getting seasick.

One side raises one person.

After losing several times, the tyrants learned from experience and recruited sailors from Jiangdong at a high price.

After the fall of Soochow, a large number of sailors were disbanded, and there must be brave men under the heavy money. In this era, there is no shortage of desperadoes in the land of Wuyue.

Profit is always the best driving force. Daqin has formed a rule. As long as the Qin law does not prohibit it, you can do it with confidence.

How keen is the gentry's strong sense of smell?Faintly aware that the imperial court seemed to encourage them to go out and plunder... to open up, and each of them was even more unscrupulous.

Donghai became busy and lively.

The tyrants from the Central Plains and Jiangdong also joined in.

The business of several shipyards in Daqin is booming, and the technology of sea-going ships is advancing by leaps and bounds.

However, the shipbuilding technology of this era is flawed after all, and the ability to resist wind and waves is not strong, but this does not stop the gentry's interest in going out to "open up".

The imperial court even issued a decree that the discovered islands with a radius of less than a hundred miles were directly owned by the powerful, and those with a radius of about five hundred miles had to be declared to the imperial court.

This undoubtedly stimulated their enthusiasm even more.

The naval battle with the Wa Kingdom gradually gained the upper hand, but the Wa Kingdom resolutely resisted, the tyrants fought on their own, and were at a disadvantage in terms of military strength, and they were still unable to establish a base on Wa Island.

However, this intensified their "exploitation" efforts, burning, killing and looting around Wa Island...

The Han people in this period were the most violent in the world. Since the middle of the Eastern Han Dynasty, they have been fighting and killing, and they are used to war.

The country of Wa was disturbed, and Taiwan and the queen sent envoys to request Daqin to restrain the powerful.

Yang Zheng naturally ignored it.

The tyrants asked the Daqin government to come forward and organize the Qin army to attack the Wa country. They were willing to pay money, food and people...

At this time, Daqin's energy was focused on competing for the Hezhong area, and there was a drought in Guanzhong. He was really not in the mood, and let the tyrants figure out their own solutions.

"Immigrating to Jianghuai and Liaodong is worse than immigrating to Dawan!" Yang Zheng stared at the sand table and said.

Now it is not Liaodong, let alone Jianghuai, that needs to export population most, but the Western Regions!

Daqin's control over the Western Regions was also linear, mainly occupying areas with economic value, such as Yanqi, Qiuci, Shule and other places.

Then there are fertile lands such as Gaochang and the Seven Rivers Basin that can be cultivated.

The Dawan Basin is also the Uzbekistan of the later generations. It can be attacked or defended. The Yaoshashui (Dyrjar River) and Wuhushui (Amu Darya River) meandering down from the Tianshan Mountains flow through the river and flow into the Aral Sea.

So Dawan is a strategic highland in Central Asia.

There are hundreds of ethnic groups in Central Asia, and it is precisely because of the small population of each ethnic group.

If one million Qin people can be migrated there, within 100 years, the whole of Central Asia will be bathed in the glory of Great Qin!
In later generations, this basin can accommodate 700 million people, but now it can accommodate 100 million Qin people, so it is not a big problem.

"Dawan...is so far away, I'm afraid the people won't want to resettle and relocate." Wei Guan worried.

"Then reward them with more land and livestock, build houses for them, create momentum for Xuanyi envoys, and immigrate in batches for a long time, ten years. It can be 20 years, but this must be done!" Yang Zheng didn't expect to do it once. The migration of millions of people is no small matter...

Lu Zhi said: "I suggest building a post station from Gaochang to Dawan to prepare for the future emigration."

"Uncle is still thoughtful!"

The post station can greatly strengthen the connection between the Western Regions and Guanzhong, and can also create a large number of jobs. A post station can have as few as 300 people and as many as [-] people. It stands on the throat and provides services such as accommodation, food, water, carriages and horses for business travelers. .

With business travel, you can basically be responsible for your own profits and losses, and even make a fortune.

At the same time, it undertakes the fast riding of the imperial court, and it can also burn beacon smoke like the beacon tower.

To make an inappropriate analogy, the station of this era is the high-speed rail of later generations...

Isn't Yong Liang suffering from a disaster?
It happened to be a relief with work.
