Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 342 Autumn Colors

Everyone in the port is running for their livelihood and money. This is also the case in Quanzhou Port in the Song Dynasty, but after several years of development, it has far surpassed Quanzhou Port. Those who went to Quanzhou Port back then In the past two years, the seme merchants have diverted to Incheon Port.

Most people on the pier are well dressed, although not everyone is luxurious, but it is rare to see ragged clothes.

But at this moment, as a large ship docked, countless ragged farmers with numb expressions stepped down from it.

"These are?" Yang Shi asked in surprise, at this moment even he felt how disharmonious these people and the dock were.

"These are poor farmers from the south of the Yangtze River! Liangshan just stipulated this year that as long as any merchant ship can transport 500 people from the south of the Yangtze River, their commercial tax will be halved. If they can transport 5000 people, then the commercial tax for one year will be exempted. During this period of time, many merchant ships have been doing such things." Ruan Xiaoqi said disapprovingly.

At first such things were done by the navy, but from this year onwards, businessmen are mainly doing this.Now on the Incheon Wharf, you can see this kind of scene almost every day. Sometimes, dozens of boats bring the poor from Jiangnan over a day.

"Why do the people in the south of the Yangtze River go here?" Yang Shi asked in disbelief.

"The people in the south of the Yangtze River live in poverty, so they are naturally willing to come here. In the past few years, they have brought their families with them. In recent years, it is mainly some young people who come here." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"The reason why the people in the south of the Yangtze River live in poverty is mainly because of Fang La's misfortune to the world, otherwise Jiangnan would never be like this! Now you Liangshan are also rebels, if you do to the world, the whole north will become the same as Jiangnan, or even inferior to Jiangnan!" Yang Yang Said coldly.

"This statement is wrong. The poverty of the people in Jiangnan is entirely due to the perverse actions of the imperial court! In fact, before Fang La, we trafficked people in Jiangnan, and the people in Jiangnan could not survive at that time! This year, I heard that the imperial court will reopen the Huashi Gang again. , so many people in the south of the Yangtze River are waiting for us to carry them by the sea, they are completely afraid of the imperial court's Huashi Gang." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"The imperial court will not reopen the Huashi Gang." Yang Shi frowned, thinking that he must report to the emperor after returning this time, let the emperor pay attention to this matter, and must not let the population of Jiangnan migrate to Korea again.

After thinking about it, Yang Shi felt something was wrong again, and said, "Korea is a small country, and Liaodong is also extremely barren. You transported so many people from the south of the Yangtze River to Koryo, so maybe you can support so many people?"

Ruan Xiaoqi smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem! Every Jiangnan citizen will distribute seeds, land, and rations when they come here. Last winter, none of the millions of people from Jiangnan died of starvation." Yes, they are all grateful. In the past years when they were in the south of the Yangtze River, many people around them starved to death every winter. When I was a fisherman, people in the village also starved to death every year. We have no way to conquer the whole world now, but Transporting those poor peasants here is considered a great deed.”

"Conquer the world? You are wishful thinking!" Yang Shi said coldly. At this moment, he felt that he had seen the other side of Liangshan. Although some people in Liangshan were very talented, some people were domineering. Wait until Wu Dong After returning to the court, these people must not stay!Either let these people be disarmed and returned to the fields, or these people should be executed!For the sake of the world, great Confucianism also has a ruthless side.

At the same time, Yang Shi also secretly guessed that he felt that Liangshan would never be able to support these many people. The scene in front of him was probably that Liangshan had found many poor people in advance and deliberately misused him for using them. .Before he came to Goryeo, he had already despised Liangshan extremely, so it was really difficult to convince him that Goryeo was really prosperous.

After he actually entered Incheon City, there was also a constant flow of people here, and the people here were also quite well dressed. He frowned again, wondering whether it was real or not, and whether Incheon was really prosperous.

"Where is your chief governor?" After arriving at an inn next to the City Lord's Mansion, Ruan Xiaoqi arranged these people here, and Yang Shi suddenly asked.

"The governor is naturally in Kaijing," Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"I'm just a Confucian scholar. It's not a big deal if your governors look down on me, but won't he come to welcome the emperor of Liao Kingdom? Is he so entrusted?" Yang Shileng said coldly.

"Governor Governor has a lot of things to deal with every day. There are so many things to deal with in Gaoli, Liaodong, Yanyun, and Hedong. How could he come to greet you in person?" Ruan Xiaoqi laughed.

There was a trace of sarcasm in his eyes, needless to say Yang Shi, he was just a Confucian scholar, "life is life without a hundred things", how could such a person deserve to be greeted by the supreme governor in his heart?As for the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, the king of subjugation, who is now dying, such a person is of course not worthy of being greeted by Wu Dong in person.

"Mr. Yang, you stay in Incheon for a few days first, and I will take King Liao to Kaijing to meet the governor first." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

Yang Shi was quite reluctant in his heart, he felt that he had been left out, which was an insult to him, but after thinking for a while, he still nodded and agreed.Now that he has come here, he will definitely be able to meet Wu Dong. Even if Wu Dong refuses to agree, he can still find a way to meet Li Gang first and ask Li Gang to recommend him.And these days he can stay in Incheon Fortress for a period of time, first understand Incheon Fortress, then learn about the whole Goryeo through Incheon Fortress, and finally try to convince Wudong.

It is now the end of July in the lunar calendar, early autumn.Winter in Goryeo comes very early, and the weather here will become very cold on August [-]th.

Right now is the most beautiful autumn color in Goryeo. This afternoon, Wu Dong, Li Shishi, Xiao Feifei and others took a boat to the Han River to enjoy the autumn scenery on both sides of the river.The reeds in the distance are floating with the wind, and fishermen can be seen fishing in the reeds. Occasionally, flocks of birds are startled and fly to the distance.The scenery is beautiful, and only in ancient times 1000 years ago can such a beautiful scenery be seen. In modern society, such original ecological scenery has long since disappeared.

Wu Dong was very content in his heart, Li Shishi also had a smile on his face, only Xiao Feifei, although she looked like a smile, but in fact there was an unconcealable sadness in her eyes.The Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and her mood can be imagined.

"Husband, have you made up your mind to move the capital?" Li Shishi said.

"It's natural that Koryo is on the safe side, far away from the Central Plains. Now we have Hedong, Liaodong, Yanyun and other places. When looking at the world, it is no longer appropriate to stay in Koryo. In the future, wars in the world cannot be conducted in Koryo." Wu Dong nodded.

"I heard that Yanjing is quite prosperous, where is my husband going?" Li Shishi asked.

"That's right! Although Yanjing is not in the heart of the Central Plains, my Liangshan is different from the Great Song Dynasty. From now on, the northern grasslands, deserts, and Liaodong will all belong to our Liangshan. Yanjing is the center of it. It would be best to move the capital to Yanjing." Wu Dongdao.

This is something he has already considered clearly in his mind. If the history remains unchanged, Yanjing will become the capital of the Jin people, and later the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties were all based here.The kings of all dynasties have chosen this place, and there are naturally reasons for it.One is because Yanjing City is the center of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. It has a large population, a prosperous economy, and is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The second is because it is the throat from the northeast and the Menggu grassland to the Central Plains. If you want to unify The Northeast and Menggu Grasslands must be based here.Before the Jin Yuan, this was only a remote city in the north. After the Jin Yuan, it was already the core of the world.It is also close to the sea, which is of great benefit to the development of Liangshan's sea trade, and although it is close to the sea, the Bohai Sea is China's inland sea, guarded by two peninsulas of Koryo and Shandong, unless Liangshan fell to the end of the Qing Dynasty. Otherwise, the enemy troops coming from the sea would not cause the capital to shake.

Of course, if they go to Yanjing, there are a lot of things to prepare, and they are just preparing now. They will stay in Kaijing for a long time.At least within this year, it is impossible for them to go to Yanjing City.

"Feifei, you will be able to return to your hometown soon, are you happy?" Wu Dong suddenly looked at Xiao Feifei and asked.

"I..." Xiao Feifei was taken aback, wanted to say something, but couldn't.

"Your father is in Incheon City now, and he will come to Kaijing soon, and your father and daughter can meet each other then." Wu Dong said again.

"Ah!" Xiao Feifei was stunned this time, she never dreamed that her life experience would be known by Wu Dong.

Wu Dong smiled, and didn't explain much to her.Xiao Feifei was afraid, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.Li Shishi next to him laughed, pulled Xiao Feifei aside, and whispered a few words, Xiao Feifei's mood improved, but she always looked at Wu Dong with a trace of apprehension.

"Let's go, let's go back." Wu Dong smiled.

It wasn't until the next afternoon that Ruan Xiaoqi, Yelu Yanxi and others arrived in Kaijing.
