Chapter 508 Immigration to the North
In the spring of the 11th year of Mingde, Dayan began to move people from several southern states northward to fill the population void in the north caused by years of war.

Today's Dayan court, despite its deep conflicts, domestic rumors and evil spirits, still shows extremely high operational efficiency.

Officials in several prefectures, mainly Luozhou, Luzhou, Jingzhou, and Xuzhou, received the imperial order and quickly began to operate, organizing a large number of people who were living in poverty or who had no enough to eat, often for two meals on the road. A full meal is enough to make them willing to go to the north, let alone settle in the north.

Thousands of words, but one sentence——

Just looking for a way out.

At the same time, the government was also making full preparations for the relocation.

When a large number of immigrants arrived at the resettlement areas, mainly Yuezhou, they would temporarily settle down in villages and camps under the supervision of local officials, or move into previously abandoned cities and villages.

In order to help them resume production as soon as possible, the wealthy Dayan was not stingy at all. He not only promised to distribute farm tools, seeds and cattle for free, reduce taxes, uniformly allocate cultivated land and farmland according to Dingkou, and even issued a "let it be done" in some relatively deserted areas. "There is no quota for the number of acres to be reclaimed" policy, that is, the government provides rations, money, seeds and agricultural tools, and is exempted from taxes for five years. In this process, all the fields reclaimed by immigrants will be owned by the land reclamators. Yongye, and set up the Agriculture Department to be responsible for the management of immigrant land reclamation.

When Song You reached Guangzhou, he joined the team moving north.

Most of these people came from Luzhou and Luozhou, which are closer to Guangzhou. Under the leadership of officials and servants, they almost formed several long queues coiled in the mountains and headed north.

Song You was naturally easy to get close to people in his Taoist robes. After he said that he could exorcise evil spirits and catch ghosts, the officials accompanying him happily accepted him and often talked to him along the way.

At this time, the Taoist led the horse to a small hill, and used the height of the hillside to look in front and behind him.

The setting sun illuminates the pedestrians, while the wind whistles.

There is neither an end nor an end to the immigration procession.Many people were dressed in rags, or even half-clothed. They were miserable, carrying bamboo branches and wooden sticks casually, and staggering forward with the large team. Some of them were carrying some tattered belongings, or carrying baskets on their backs, which was better for convenience. Pulling a cart.There were also people with their families and children, forming this long queue.

Everyone is just asking for food.

This long dragon walks at an unusually slow speed and is often urged by officials.

Song You had seen a similar Changlong in another place once, and it was the Zhenbei Army on the march outside the northern border.However, they only look similar at first glance, but upon closer inspection, they are actually very different.

The Taoist also stopped here and looked at it for a long time.

The number of people migrating north this time is very large, the largest in history.

Looking at it this way, it is extremely spectacular.

Even if it is placed in history, it is destined to be a highlight and have far-reaching influence——

This migration to the north will change the entire northern culture. Not to mention Yuezhou, which has become a dead place without roosters, but also Yanzhou and other places where many people still survive. The local culture and population composition will also be affected by these immigrants. The huge impact, the two sides collided and merged, and finally settled down, which is what people will see thousands of years later.

If anyone does research at that time, they will know that all these changes came from this time.

At that time, the people in the north, especially those from Yuezhou, would most likely be the descendants of the immigrants that Song You saw today.

I don’t know how future generations will describe this period of history, and how they will mention this process. In short, Song You only blew the wind on the hill for a while, looked at it for a while, and then led the horse down, together with their ancestors. Go forward, to the future settlement.

The cat next to her has long been submerged in the spring grass. Only the grass is moving, and it is difficult to see her figure.

Over this period of time, the Taoist has become familiar with many immigrants. As soon as he got out, someone turned to ask him while walking slowly with a stick.

"Sir, I heard that you have been to Yuezhou?"

Song You didn't dare to be negligent when he heard this, and quickly replied: "I went there once a few years ago."

"How's it going over there? Is there a way to survive?"

"Yuezhou is also a land with good Feng Shui, full of spiritual energy and fertile land. However, years of wars have depleted the population. When I traveled to Yuezhou in Xia, it was autumn and winter, and I didn't bring much food. I only caught some pheasants and rabbits on the roadside. It’s enough to eat meat. You can also eat some wild fruits and vegetables to satisfy your hunger.” Song You answered truthfully, “There are also many ready-made houses. You only need to clear the weeds and bury the bones before you can move in.”

"It seems like a good place."

An old man with a cane nodded and said.

Someone else frowned and said worriedly: "But I heard that if a good place is not occupied by someone, it is easy for evil spirits to appear. I also heard someone on the road say that the monsters in the north are much more ferocious than those in the south."

"We didn't see any monsters along the way." A middle-aged man said while carrying a baby on his back.

"That's because there are many of us. Besides, I passed through Guangzhou before. I heard that there is a foggy mountain in Guangzhou. There are many people who learn swordsmanship on the foggy mountain. Those swordsmen are not said to be better than gods, but they are all good at it. He has the courage to kill monsters and fight evil spirits, so there are no monsters making trouble along the way." The man said, "But now we have reached Yuezhou."

When everyone heard this, they were very worried and looked at the Taoist.

The Taoist walked forward slowly with a bamboo stick, and the bay-red horse followed leisurely behind him. The luggage on his back was larger than before. The calico cat took small steps and often ran around, but he just patiently informed everyone about Yuezhou. The big demon has been eliminated, and the little demons and monsters have nothing to fear. I advise them to feel at ease.

Everyone's eyebrows were filled with sorrow.

At this moment, there was a sudden commotion ahead.

The commotion came all the way from the front, like water pushing waves. When it reached the back, everyone no longer knew why the people in front were commotion. They saw that the people in front were panicked, so they panicked too.

"What happened?"

"What happened?"

"There are monsters!"

"Huh? There's a monster!"

Various sounds were passed along the immigration procession. It was clear that the people behind did not see it at all, but they were more panicked than the people in front. I don't know how many people hid in the mountains and forests, or subconsciously protected their children.

Someone in front retreated, so he retreated continuously.

Only the Taoist looked forward curiously, and walked forward with his walking stick.

Slowly walking further and further, he asked:
"What happened up front?"

"There is a monster!!" "What monster? Did it harm anyone?"

Some people knew him, and some didn't, but seeing that he was a Taoist, they also told him.

"A monkey was sitting on a tree, watching us pass by. We originally thought it was an ordinary mountain monkey, but as we watched it, it suddenly started speaking human language."

"What about the monkey?"

"There was an official who was so brave. He drank it away and now he has run into the woods. He was just hiding in the woods watching us."

"Did it say anything? Is it harmful?"

"It's not harmful..."

"Then what does it say?"

"it says……"

The man suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked left and right, feeling a little scared and hesitant for a moment.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said truthfully: "What the monster said is: Dayan is going to die, and the Chen family is going to rise. Come here, it happens to be on the road from the north to the south. If anything happens, If we fight, won’t we suffer again?”

This man even imitated the monkey's tone.

It sounded like genuine confusion and good intentions.

"..."

Song You was silent for a moment and couldn't help but turn his head to look into the forest.

It was very quiet in the forest, and I didn't know where it was hiding.

When he looked away, he felt that everyone was in a panic, even some officials and servants were in a panic. The Taoist priest wearing a Taoist robe and with a calm face had undoubtedly become their backbone, receiving many looks.

"What should I do, Taoist Priest?"

"Can that monster harm people?"

"Is what the monster said true or false?"

"Which Chen family is the Chen family..."

"Can we still stay safe in the north?"

"..."

Many voices reached Song You's ears, and he could clearly see everyone's panic and worry at this time.

The Taoist frowned silently and couldn't help thinking——

Although we have arrived in Yuezhou, there is only a monkey monster on the roadside. Where did we get the news?
What is the purpose of saying this?

After coming back to his senses, he comforted everyone.

"The words of the goblin cannot be trusted, and it is just a wild monkey demon. Everyone should pay attention when resting at night, collect dry wood to light the fire, and take turns to watch the night. It will not cause any trouble. Since you have already reached Yuezhou, don't I'm too worried and just think about how to settle down in Yuezhou." Song You said and paused, "Didn't someone come all the way to Yuezhou because they couldn't survive in the original place? No matter how vicious the monster is, , it’s not as cruel as starving to death.”

When everyone heard it, they thought it made sense.

"Sir, you are right..."

"No matter how hard it is, you will die..."

"I can't survive anyway!"

"This monster is even afraid of official duties and doesn't have much ability. If it dares to come tonight, everyone will beat it to death and share the monkey brains! If you eat the monkey brains that have become spirits, you may become immortals after eating them!"

"..."

"Everyone, please continue moving forward. It's not dark yet, so it's not suitable to spend the night here. We can still go a little further."

As Song You spoke, he looked up at the sky.

The birds flew high and the lonely cloud went alone.

Only one vigorous swallow rode the wind and flew away.

The large team of immigrants finally moved forward slowly. Although everyone was worried, they gradually settled down and walked farther and farther.

As soon as it gets dark, rest on the spot.

Immigrants who were able to do so brought an old quilt with them either on their backs or on their backs to keep them warm at night.If there are no conditions, it is to eat the government's meal with nothing. At this time, they have no choice but to huddle together.The spring night was cool but not cold, so everyone could survive the night by snuggling together to keep warm. Besides, there had just been rumors of monsters today, so huddled together would give them a little more peace of mind.

There are dozens of fires in the mountains, like dots of starlight.

When the mountain wind blows, shooting stars appear everywhere.

"Pop puff..."

A swallow slipped over during the night, landed on the Taoist's shoulder, and whispered softly.

The Taoist left his place of residence, leaning on his bamboo stick.
