Lu You acted very quickly, and the notice was quickly posted on the city wall. The people of Yucheng had been paying close attention to the government's movements, wanting to know whether the government would reduce rent this year or send relief grain. So as soon as they saw the notice, people gathered around in an instant.
Those who can't read are very anxious: "What does this notice say? Those who can read, please read it out."
Those who could read read the notice, word by word: "Migration notice, due to the drought in Yucheng..."
As soon as the word "migrate" came out, those who understood were surprised: "What does migration mean? Are they going to move us all away? But where are we going to move to?"
The person reading the notice continued to read, and then he became overjoyed: "Good news, the prince and princess have found a new island and are currently developing it. We can all go there. That is the prince's fiefdom."
If it were anyone else, these people would definitely not be so enthusiastic, but if it were the prince and princess, it would be different. The appeal of these two people was extremely strong, so many people began to go to the gate of the government office.
The yamen runners were shocked when they saw the crowd coming over: "What do you guys want to do?"
The notice had just been posted, and these people were going to come to the government office to cause trouble? As expected, asking people to move was not a good idea.
The one who read the notice just now looked at the yamen runner in front of him and said, "Brother, don't panic. We are just here to ask if what is said in the notice is true? Do we really have to move all of us to the deceased son's fiefdom?"
The yamen runner nodded and said, "The notice has been posted, that's natural, and the emperor has specially sent General Dong to handle this matter. Those who want to go will be given food on the way, and a month's worth of food will be given when they arrive there. In a month, it will be enough for everyone to find a job and support themselves."
It’s not that this bailiff knows so much, but that all the bailiffs in the entire government office have received special training and can explain this matter very clearly.
When everyone heard this, they felt relieved: "Then how should we contact the general if we plan to go?"
Is this person so anxious? What happened to the hometown that is hard to leave? Why is he so enthusiastic? Fortunately, the general has already said: "If you want to go, you can come to the government office to register. If you gather enough people, General Dong will naturally send soldiers to escort you to the South Island."
When they heard they had to register, they all got anxious: "Where do I register? I want to register now."
The bailiff frowned and said, "Have you thought it through? After registration, we will set out soon, and we must have a household registration in our Great Zhou to register. When we arrive at the destination, we will also need the household registration in the Great Zhou."
It turns out that a household registration of the Great Zhou is also needed. These things are very valuable and they will not keep them with them. Looking at everyone, the yamen runner was still explaining.
"Not only the household registration, but also the property deeds and other documents if you have a house. After registration, you can use these things to exchange for the same value when you arrive in South Island."
This is what was said in the message sent by Qian Jiujiu before. Anyway, the island is very large, and we can't let the originally wealthy people become penniless because of migration.
The value of some people does not lie in their labor. Among these people, there may be quite a few smart people who can be trained in the future.
Everyone had not expected such a good thing to happen, and they were all delighted: "Brother Yayi, if there is anything else you need to explain, please tell us."
The bailiff nodded and said, "When you register, you must bring your household registration, property deeds, and all your family members. You can only register if your whole family agrees to move out."
The last sentence made everyone feel a little depressed. Those who came here were all young people. They were only thinking about getting to South Island as soon as possible and neglected their families.
Today, Yucheng is destined to be very lively. Every household is discussing the topic of migration. In addition to the people in Yucheng, people from other villages are also discussing these matters.
Some elderly people in the family would rather stay here and not go anywhere, while other elderly people agreed. So the people in the village who agreed quickly went to the village chief to register.
The village chief reported to the government office, and the government office would arrange for someone to receive the registration. On the first day, the number of people who came to register exceeded 30,000. This was something Dongchen had not expected, but he was still very satisfied with the result.
Three thousand men were sent out to escort these thirty thousand people to the South Island. With so many people, along with their own luggage and the food distributed by the court, they set out in such a mighty manner.
People in some cities along the way saw such a large-scale migration and wanted to join in the fun, but were ruthlessly driven away.
When these people set out, Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao received news from Dongchen. At this time on South Island, those who were captured had almost all been sent back, and the place seemed exceptionally quiet.
There were only soldiers still guarding the island. Qian Jiujiu and Mu Yexiao had already walked around the island. Then Qian Jiujiu began to divide the villages and cities according to the terrain and decide where to build them. Now everything was ready, just waiting for people to come.
"Husband, you said that the consumption of hundreds of thousands of people is probably not small. Let's move all the food out of the space first. I'm afraid we will still need food to feed these people in the future."
Originally, I thought that I would leave the task of building the island to the emperor and let him support these people. Who could have thought that the emperor would leave them to Nan Nan? Isn't that still leaving them alone
Mu Yexiao smiled and nodded: "It just so happens that the pirate warehouses have been cleared out, and with their food, we can put some of it in there."
On the South Island, all the pirates were captured except those who were killed in the war, and there were also some women. These women could be spared the death penalty, but they could not escape the punishment of living. They were all handed over to the court for handling. Qian Jiujiu had no sympathy for these people.
Moreover, let alone the so-called treasure left by the Wang family on the island, even the things looted by the islanders themselves were enough. Gold, silver, jewelry, gold bars, etc., everything was already considered a profit, and there was also a lot of food.
If we add some more grain to these, the total amount of grain will be enough to feed the hundreds of thousands of people in Yucheng.
Qian Jiujiu also planned out the places where the land needed to be developed. When the two felt that they were about the same, Xiaoman and his men arrived in Fucheng.
When they arrived in Fucheng, they naturally went to the prince's villa. When Xiaoman was outside, she lived in the prince's villa. After all, she had the token in her hand, and the prince's villas were spread all over the Great Zhou, so it would be a waste not to stay there.
The butler looked at the token and knew who the person in front of him was: "Greetings, County Master."
Xiaoman nodded: "Get up, where are the prince and princess?"
The butler answered quickly, then stepped aside to let the county lady and others in: "The prince and princess are now on the island, and the prince and the county lady are in the other courtyard on the island."
As he spoke, the butler waved his hand and asked someone to tell the prince and the princess that Princess Yongxi had arrived. Nanbei and Beibei looked at the seaside model they had made during this period of time and nodded with satisfaction: "It's not much. Now we just need to find a way to transport it back."
As soon as he finished speaking, a maid at the door said, "Prince, Princess, Princess Yongxi is here and has just walked in."
Auntie is here? Nanbeibei looked at each other, and then, without even caring about the model, they ran outside to greet Xiaoman.
The rest of Liu Sheng and the others looked at each other in bewilderment. Who was the Princess Yongxi? She sounded familiar, but why did a Princess Yongxi make the Crown Prince and the Princess so anxious
"How about we go and pay our respects as well?"
Wan Xinxin's mouth twitched again: "You are relatively unfamiliar with the Princess Yongxi, but you are not unfamiliar with the Demon General. This Princess Yongxi is the Demon General, you'd better hurry up if you want to pay your respects."
After saying that, Wan Xinxin quickly followed the two people's backs and caught up. The others were stunned and then hurried to catch up.
Nanbeibei ran all the way to the hall and stopped when they saw Xiaoman. Then Beibei rushed over and threw herself into Xiaoman's arms: "Auntie, I missed you so much."
Xiaoman reached out to catch Beibei and looked at the two of them happily: "You two have grown a lot taller. You look like big kids now. Your parents have been busy during this period. What have you been playing?"
Beibei chattered about what he was busy with and told about the competition with his brother. Xiaoman reached out and touched the top of Nannan's head: "Needless to say, Nannan lost again, right? What a good brother."
Upon hearing this, Beibei frowned: "Aunt, you are biased."
Xiaoman raised her eyebrows: "How am I biased? Speaking of which, this time when I came here, my aunt brought a gift for your brother. After hearing this, you will say that I am biased."
He put Beibei down, took out the imperial edict, and looked at Nannan: "Why don't you kneel down and accept the edict?"
Nan Nan looked at Xiao Man helplessly, then knelt down and watched Xiao Man read the imperial edict, so the island became his fiefdom
After receiving the imperial edict, Nan Nan stood up, a little unhappy: "Nan Nan, what's wrong? You look a little unhappy?"
Nan Nan took a deep breath and said, "Aunt, that island is now named South Island. It will be my fiefdom in the future. I will be the owner of the island. How can I support the people on an island?"
Xiaoman blinked and burst out laughing. Before he could explain, Beibei patted his brother on the shoulder and said, "Brother, don't worry. You still have me. I'll help you raise them. We are so smart. We can afford to raise a few more, not to mention one island."
Nannan glanced at Beibei and said, "Beibei is still the best."
Xiaoman rolled her eyes helplessly: "Well, whether you can afford it or not depends on your parents! So don't panic, Nannan, we can afford it."
Nan Nan frowned. Although his aunt said so, as the owner of the island, he couldn't always rely on his parents for support. Wouldn't that make him seem useless
No, it seems that he has to make money well, otherwise he can only beg for food with his subjects on the island.
