Ma Yun hasn't asked political affairs for a long time. She felt that after so many years. Liu Xin can be alone. And there are so many capable wise men. There is no need for her to continue to make suggestions. She now focuses more on the business development and children's education of Dahan Bank. There is a more important reason why Ma Yun did this. She knew that Liu Xin would one day take the position that was once unattainable. She didn't want to leave the hidden dangers of the harem doing politics.
but. Seeing Liu Xin always frowning. Ma Yun couldn't help asking, "What happened? Even Jushou and the others can't think of a solution."
Liu Xin sighed. Did not speak. Instead, he handed the two emergency military information to Ma Yun. In Liu Xin's view. It's not that they can't think of a good way. It's that they didn't even think about it. Because Ju taught them to be the same as the princes who ruled everywhere. Both included themselves in the upper class. And those ordinary people are just ordinary people in their eyes. Even like Kuailiang, who advocated the rule of benevolence and righteousness. Nor will they take these people very seriously.
but. Liu Xin from later generations is very clear. Even if these people are not regarded as resources that can provide taxes and money. The common people must not be deceived either. Under certain circumstances. The energy they burst out. Enough to overthrow any seemingly powerful dynasty.
Ma Yun finished reading two emergency military information. Frowned. Said: "Husband. Do you want to rescue all these people to the south of the Yangtze River?"
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "Yes. It's already a severe winter. If you don't want to resettle these refugees, many people will die of freezing and starvation. If you can relocate them all to Jiangnan, the plight of the vast and sparsely populated Jiangnan can be solved. It's a pity. Such a thing that has the best of both worlds is blocked by a Yangtze River."
Ma Yun suddenly laughed. Said: "Everything must be viewed from two aspects. The Yangtze River blocked the way for these people who fled to move south. But it is not entirely bad."
Since the Spring and Autumn Period. The North has always been the economic, cultural and political center of the entire Chinese nation. People living in the north are born with a sense of superiority. Unwilling to take the initiative to move to the south. therefore. Except for the people who originally lived in the south. Only some people who have committed a crime will be exiled to the south. Now these Xuzhou people are really desperate. I thought of fleeing to the south. The opportunity to increase the population of the South in this way does not happen often. If this time because the Yangtze River blocked the road. Prevent them from going south. I am afraid I will never encounter such an opportunity again in the future. Unless Liu Xin unified the world in the future. Then ordered the people from the north to be forcibly moved to the south. But then. It is bound to arouse the disgust of the people.
therefore. For what Ma Yun said. Liu Xin didn't quite understand. He pondered: "I missed this opportunity. It will be more difficult to increase the population of the South in the future. How could this be a good thing."
indeed. Historically, the population of the South has increased greatly. It started from the chaos of China in the last five years of the Western Jin Dynasty. Many Han people who originally lived in the north were forced to do so. Had to move across the Yangtze River. but. Ten years time. Liu Xin's mood changed completely. He is no longer the extraordinary thief. His goal is not only to end the disputes in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty. He also wants to make the entire Han nation the most powerful nation in the world. It will never be tolerated as in history. Suffered repeated invasions and insults by foreigners. Even more will not allow a scene like five random China to appear. Only achieved this. It is worthwhile for him to walk in this world like this.
Ma Yun said: "As long as these people are connected to Jiangnan. They want to return to their hometown in the future. The Yangtze River will also be the obstacle in front of them. And when they live in Jiangnan for a generation or two, I am afraid that the big Most people will be content with the status quo. No longer thinking about going back to the north. Isn't this a good aspect for the stability and development of Jiangnan."
This is indeed the case. Cai Yong's family had been exiled in the south for many years. but. Once met with amnesty. Immediately returned to the north. And these people were forced by the turmoil. Only then had to flee to Jiangnan. Once the north is calming down. Who can guarantee that they will not try to return to their hometown? If there is a wave of refugees returning home. Whether for the south or the north. Both will seriously affect local production and social stability. and so. From this perspective. There is the Yangtze River blocking there. Just control the ship. This situation can be avoided completely.
Although Liu Xin didn't read much. But not stupid. Jing Ma Yun dialed like this. Naturally figured out the joints. But that is the future. He must now resolve his immediate predicament. I couldn't help but smile and said, "You have to think of a way to get them past Jiang Lai."
Ma Yun glanced at Liu Xin. Said: "Husband. You should have heard of Dunkirk Retreat."
Liu Xin nodded. Said: "I have heard of it. But what does it have to do with me."
Ma Yun gave him a white glance. Said: "The British are facing the open English Channel. Facing the three-dimensional pursuit of the Germans by sea, land and air. Still more than 300,000 people have been withdrawn from France to the United Kingdom. They have saved their strength for the final counterattack. And you are now. It's just a Yangtze River. There is no chasing soldiers behind these people. Is it even more difficult than the British people back then."
Liu Xinpo awakened. Repeatedly said: "My wife. You said too much. There is nothing difficult in the world. I am afraid that there are people with a heart. Now it is not a question of whether I can receive these people from Jiangnan. It is whether I have this confidence. I dare not make this determination. "
at this time. On the edge of the Guangling River. Mi Zhu was already a little burnt.
He is an official in charge of refugee affairs in Xuzhou appointed by Liu Xin himself. He is from Xuzhou again. I am even more kind. I naturally hope that this errand will be done successfully. but. Things backfired. Because I spent more than half a month in Wu Jun. A total of more than 100,000 people who had fled were accepted. In addition, I heard that the only people living in Guangling were more than 100,000 people brought by Ruo Rong from Pengcheng. The situation here is seriously underestimated.
When I saw so many people coming over all of a sudden. Mi Zhu was dumbfounded. Some are at a loss. It's also because Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong are both powerful in governing the world. Only then barely established a few camps along the Guangling River. Let the people settle down there temporarily. Waiting for the boat transfer.
but. The 500 merchant ships and fishing boats have limited carrying capacity. They only dared to sail during the day. At night, I dare not cross the river anyway. Thus. At most, more than 10,000 people are transported every day. But more and more people gathered on the riverside. Four days of effort. It has reached 800,000. Moreover, people continue to rush here.
in fact. Now the fighting in Xuzhou has temporarily subsided. According to common sense, there would not be so many people going out. but. Because all Cao Jun went through was burned, killed, looted. Leave a piece of scorched earth. If these people return to the village. There is not even a place to stay. Not to mention solving food and clothing. And Guangling has been plundered by Ruo Rong. The people here are also facing the same dilemma. These people want to live. There are only two ways to go.
One way is to count on the local government to come forward and organize disaster relief.
Among the five counties of Xuzhou. Cao Cao now occupies three counties. What he lacks most is money and food. What's more, he was originally like "I would rather let the people of the world take the world. Don't let the people of the world take me". How can you care about the life and death of these people
Xiapi County was also controlled by Liu Bei. He is Xuzhou Shepherd in name. It is his job to provide relief to the victims. He also wanted to help these people. this way. Whether it is for gaining a good reputation. Still consolidate his position in Xuzhou. These are all very beneficial things. but. He does not have this ability. Because he has no extra money and food to help so many victims. otherwise. He would not let Guan Yu go to abolish Xuzhou's army. Not because of Cao Bao donated some money. Just entrust him with the important task.
As for Guangling County. Now it is in a state of anarchy at all. Who will come forward to help the victims
In this way. The millions of victims in Xuzhou have only one way to go. That is to go to the refugee camp. Accept Mi Zhu's placement. Because Yuan Shu blocked the road to Jiangxia. These people cross the river south through Guangling. There is no other choice.
Facing more and more refugees. The Yangtze River billowing east has become a narrow bottleneck on the entire migration road. In order to increase the speed of the victims crossing the river. Mi Zhu has gone to Gan Ning more than once. I hope he will use naval ships to transport these people in Xuzhou. Mi Zhu, who has always been good-tempered, even had a few quarrels with Gan Ning about this matter. But Gan Ning was determined not to be moved. Say nothing to let these ordinary people board the navy ship. Because Gan Ning is very clear. There are many secrets on these naval ships. That condenses the efforts of countless craftsmen in the research institute and Jiangling Shipyard. Once leaked out. Even if he died a hundred times, it would be difficult for him to atone for his sins.
but. Gan Ning did not ignore the lives and deaths of these people. Seeing more and more people gathered in Jiangbei. He drew more soldiers from the navy to maintain order. On the other hand, ships were sent to patrol the river day and night. To protect the safety of merchant ships and fishing boats that transport people. and. Those people gathered in Jiangbei. Food and medicine urgently needed. They were all transported from Wu Jun by naval ships. A large part of it was allocated from the navy's own supplies. It is precisely because of this. Mi Zhu, Zhang Zhao and others were quite polite to Gan Ning. He did not completely turn his face because of his refusal to use water warships to transport refugees.
Another day passed. The people gathered on the riverside have reached a million. There are crowds of black and heavy people everywhere on the river beach. There are not so many tents. The people have to huddle together to warm each other. To resist the harsh cold wind. Although there was a large amount of food brought by the navy. The people can fill their stomachs temporarily. But diseases caused by severe cold. It is still inevitably popular among the crowd. Walk in the camp. People with runny noses and loud coughing can be encountered everywhere.
Zhang Zhao saw this situation. Could not help but sigh. Said to Zhang Hong: "Zigang. It is because of us. So many people who have suffered military disasters will gather here. In case of a major epidemic after the disaster, you and I will become sinners through the ages. This will not work. You have to think of a surefire solution."
Zhang Hong is also solemn. Suddenly Mi Zhu ran over excitedly. There was a letter in his hand. He said loudly: "Two gentlemen. The lord has written."
"Oh. What did the lord say." Zhang Zhao and Zhang Hong blurted out almost subconsciously. I completely forgot that they were not officials under Liu Xin at all.
Mi Zhu was delighted. Didn't notice anything wrong with their words. Excitedly said: "The lord gave an order. Let us organize a Guangling retreat."
