Daqin: Who does this throne give to me?

Chapter 235 Zeng Bu Acts Too Softly
Whether it was Zhao Wen or the dozen or so imperial concubines, although they walked around with smiles on their faces, there was a look of doubt in their eyes at the same time.

The West Lake in front of me was completely different from what was described, there was no one in sight for a long time, and there were not even small businesses nearby, and it was not as prosperous as Gongsun Lan said when she was in Yingtian Mansion.

"Damn Tyranny, dare to promise one hundred acres of land to the tenants, causing harm to everyone!"

Several people dressed as scholars were drinking in a pavilion, and a scholar suddenly stood up and cursed: "In just a few days, all my tenants ran away, and my father even bought all the surrounding fields for cheap, but no Tenants, how will this field be cultivated!"

"The population of the Qin Dynasty was only [-] to [-] million, and the Shu land had a maximum of one million people. The south is even more desolate. There are enough fields to give these untouchables. Brother Li, it is better to plan ahead!"

Another scholar said with a proud face: "When my family just heard the news, they directly killed chickens and monkeys, locked all the tenants in Zhuangzi, and no one can leave. Even if Daqin leaves in the future, he will not be affected. influences!"

"How could it be unaffected? Look at this West Lake. Not to mention selling snacks, there are not many people hanging around. By then, the whole south will be like this, and you can still live comfortably!"

Another scholar picked up his cup and drank it down, looked into the distance and cursed angrily: "If there are not enough people, there will be no soldiers. The Liao Kingdom and Xixia are coming, will you and I surrender or just die?"

"There are not enough mud legs to stand in the front. If there are only us left in the south, not to mention Liao and Xixia, even if there is a group of bandits, they will be able to take whatever they want from us. Then how will we deal with ourselves? !"

"Baoqin's combat power is too strong, and the sergeants are delighted when they hear the battle. My Song Dynasty is by no means an opponent, so what if I don't want to!" Another scholar sighed on the side, as if lamenting the fate of the Song Dynasty.

"Since you are worried about Da Song, why don't you join the army and fight Da Qin for life and death?" Xue Bing asked several scholars with doubts on his face.

"What do you, a woman, know? I am a scholar, and I have studied the great talents of the world. How can I do the work of prisoners and soldiers!"

Several scholars turned their heads and looked over. Zhao Wen and his party saw that they belonged to wealthy families, and the anger on their faces disappeared instantly. One of the scholars even explained to Xue Bing.

"But now all the poor people have to move to the Great Qin. In the future, only you talented scholars will be left in the entire Great Song Dynasty. If Liao and Xixia come over, you are not willing to join the army, so how can you resist!" Gongsun With a smile on the corner of Lan's mouth, he also asked back.

"Hahaha!" Several scholars burst out laughing at the same time.

A scholar said with a smile: "It's a bunch of nonsense. How could Daqin move all the people there, let alone those left by us in the village. There are many remote villages that don't even have the current year name. I know, how could I know the news about Daqin!"

"As long as these untouchables have enough food, they can give birth to a lot of offspring, and they need food to travel. If there is not enough food, even if they know that they will get a hundred acres of land when they go to Daqin, they can only stay there In my farm!" Another scholar gave Zhao Wen and his party a contemptuous look.

"Thank you guys for telling me!" Zhao Wen cupped his hands with a smile on his face, and walked lightly towards the other side.

"Zeng Bu's behavior is still too soft. If it weren't for these scholars, I wouldn't know that the tenants in Song Dynasty are so poor that they don't even have enough food to go to the riverside!" Zhao Wen shook his head and sighed.

Appointing Zeng Bu is to borrow his reputation of following Wang Anshi's reform. After Daqin entered this world, scholars continued to come to seek refuge, and it can be said that there were no obstacles at all. There is also Zeng Bu's reputation.

But now, the troubles of appointing Zeng Bu have come out. His behavior is too soft, and the rich families and these scholars are not afraid of him at all.

"Except for a few remote counties in the south, all of them are now occupied by our Great Qin. In each city there are not only Jinyiwei, but also our Great Qin Imperial Army. The Jinyiwei and the Imperial Army can publicize our Great Qin's relocation strategy to everyone. Anyone who dares to stop it will be killed!"

A few days ago, a historical record fell on his door inexplicably. After reading it, Lu Zhi finally understood why he, a girl from a small county town, would be favored by His Royal Highness.

But no matter what, now that I am His Majesty's imperial concubine, since His Majesty is still willing to accept her after knowing what she is doing, it is obvious that she doesn't mind, so she also boldly expressed her opinion.

"It's also a way. You can also let the Imperial Army and Jinyiwei use gold and silver to buy grain from various farms, and the grain stored by the government in various places can be distributed to the tenants who want to move to Daqin!"

This time, the south was completely taken down, and all the accumulation in the whole south fell into the hands of Daqin. Instead of spending manpower to transport these things back, it is better to distribute them directly to the people who are willing to move to Daqin.

"Using gold and silver to buy these farms, how much gold and silver will it cost?" Gongsun Lan looked at Zhao Wen with a look of eagerness in her eyes. If Zhao Wen agreed, she would even take someone to repurchase the gold and silver herself. grab it back.

"Sister is too naive." Lu Zhi chuckled and said, "Scholars have always been the smartest. When the number of people in the city is decreasing, they will never continue to stay in the empty village waiting to die. After weighing the pros and cons , even if you don’t want to, you will follow me to Daqin!”

Zhao Wen couldn't help laughing, he didn't know how to calculate it so clearly, but people kept entering the Great Qin, and all the supplies these people brought were equivalent to increasing the national power of the Great Qin, as for the seizures from this world, no matter how much they spent, This time I made a lot of money, so I don't have to worry about it at all.

That is to say, Chu has just moved a large number of people, and the entire Great Qin is short of food, so it stopped after occupying the south. Otherwise, with an order, the forbidden troops in various places can be forced to move.

And in the south of the Great Qin Dynasty, in a tree covered with vines, a group of big men were cutting down the big tree with sharp axes.

After cutting down the branches, I cleaned up the branches, and then dragged them towards the open space not far away. One of the big men cursed while dragging: "I thought that after joining the army, I would be able to fight the enemy and fight for a wife, but I was killed Allocating this barren land to reclaim wasteland is simply bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as the big man's voice fell, there was a burst of laughter all around.
