No matter what proportion of the people are unwilling to move, and those who are willing to hurry up before their families completely run out of food, they all set off one after another under the arrangement of Fuyu City, marching towards the Central Plains in the southwest direction.

The huge machine of Datang was fully activated at this moment, and the states and roads cooperated to swallow these millions of immigrants.

According to the will of the imperial court, the immigration route was planned and the state roads were distributed. The governors of the various regions were waiting to pick up the people in person at the agreed place. Any officials who dared to disobey or delay would be severely punished.

In this way, Li Yin's opportunity came.

The first stop for the fleeing people is Youzhou City, the capital of Hebei Province. People will be allocated here to be transported to Hedong, Hebei, and Henan. At the same time, the officials of these three places are also waiting to pick them up.

The governor of Hedong is Chai Shao, the one from Hebei is Liu Hongji, and the one from Henan is Li Daoyan, the governor of Qizhou.

Because Ling Yin of Henan Province is in Luoyang, he said that there is no shortage of people in the central part, but Henan Province is a major grain-producing area, so how can we not share it?

So the two relatives named Qizhou, which is the later Shandong area, and named Li Daoyan, king of Jiaodong, as the governor of Qizhou, and ordered him to resettle a group of people.

Li Daoyan is a son of the clan, and his father is the old prince Li Shentong, who once saved Li Er's life, so Li Daoyan is the emperor's diehard loyalist.

The three gathered in Youzhou City, and Liu Hongji was the host to entertain the others. They were all military commanders, and they talked about wars the most. If it was not ordered by the imperial court, no one wanted to worry about these local governance matters.

A few people thought that when the victims arrived, everyone would go back separately according to the head, but they didn't expect Li Yin to arrive before the victims.

Li Yin greeted the three elders with a smile. Chai Shao was his uncle, Li Daoyan was his cousin, and Liu Hongji was one of the first generals to follow Li Er.

"Huh? Why is Xiao Liu? Why did you get mixed up with these victims?" Chai Shao asked first.

Li Yin did not explain, but pointed to the group of people behind him and said: "Uncle, two uncles, Xiaoliu was ordered to escort the victims who went south this time, let's arrange the food and drink for this group of people first and then talk about the old days."

Li Daoyan said: "Replacement? Why is it so troublesome?

The city has already prepared enough food and drink, let them go to the city in batches to eat and drink a meal, and then your uncle and I ordered the population and took them away. If this kind of thing is delayed for a day, Lao Liu will have an extra day of trouble, so much Food and lodging is not a small number. "

"To be honest, it's Xiao Liu, I have something to ask the three elders.

Then according to what my uncle said, arrange for the common people to eat first. "

Then Liu Hongji ordered his subordinates to greet the people who came, and he personally led Li Yin, Chai Shao and the others back to the Governor's Mansion.

"Tell me, did your kid cause some trouble again?" Chai Shao asked bluntly.

Li Yin said embarrassingly: "Uncle, those are all embarrassing things about Xiao Liu when I was a child, and now I am an adult who went to the fiefdom official, so I stopped messing around a long time ago."

Li Daoyan smiled and said: "Yes, I heard that Xiao Liu has been busy building roads in Sichuan for the past two years, he is no longer a child.

No, you should be in the middle of Shu, why did you get to the northeast?Still mixed with the disaster victims? "

"This is what my nephew asked you to do. I have traveled thousands of miles just for these disaster victims. I am too short of people to build roads in central Sichuan. These prairie men are strong laborers one by one."

Before Li Yin could finish speaking, Li Daoyan interrupted: "Hey, boy, is this a big deal?

It is a great thing for you to build roads. If there is a lack of people, you can just say something. Uncle, I have a tenant of my own who has worked hard for a thousand, and I will send it to you. "

one thousand? ? ?

Li Yin suppressed a smile and explained: "Uncle Tang, in the middle of Sichuan, we are building mountains and building roads, and the shortage is not a thousand people. I plan to invest 20 strong laborers."

Cough cough cough Li Daoyan was choked badly.

"How much? You kid is crazy? Go to the sky, 20 people? Do you know how much consumption that is? Can you afford money and food?"

"This is only for now, I have already discussed with my father, and I am going to attack both the north and the south, so I need to add at least 20.

what? ?Uncle, let go, let go quickly"

"Don't move, I'll see if your kid is out of his mind? Do you know what you're talking about? Are you here to brag to the old man?"

Like an eagle catching a chick, Li Daoyan squeezed Li Yin's almost fleshless face with both hands, looking left and right.

Here, Chai Shao smiled and persuaded the two people who were fighting. Since Li Yin said that His Majesty agreed, he shouldn't just talk about it.

Then Li Yin explained: "The land of abundance in the middle of Shu is itself an important place for grain production. Back then, Han Gaozu used Shu as his granary, and finally defeated King Xiang to win the world.

But the life of the people in central Sichuan is not good. The local products cannot be transported because they are surrounded by mountains, so they are not short of food, but what they lack is a road to connect with the outside world. "

Chai Shao pondered and said: "Thinking that Zhuge Wuhou led the army to conquer Cao Wei six times in the north, it shows that the grain production in central Shu can support 20 laborers.

But you can just recruit strong workers from the local area, why did you focus on this disaster victim? "

Li Yin retorted: "That's quite different. The local people are laborers who know how to farm. If they are transferred to build roads, it will delay the production of grain. Even if the farming is very busy, it will affect the progress of road construction.

So I need a group of strong laborers who keep digging mountains and building roads all year round.

People from the grasslands in the north immigrated to the Central Plains and didn’t know how to farm. It happened that they were allowed to concentrate on digging mountains and moving stones. The people in central Shu were responsible for feeding them. "

"Hey, let's not talk about it, it sounds really logical. I didn't expect that after a few years, Xiao Liu has transformed from a dandy to a capable little prince. Yes, he has made progress!" Li Daoyan praised.

Liu Hongji asked curiously: "You can just ask His Majesty for it. Anyway, where are these disaster victims allocated? Why bother to go there?"

When it comes to this question, Li Yin is a little embarrassed, "I want a lot of people, and I'm afraid other places will not accept the direct transfer. After all, there are so many state roads in Datang, and many officials are staring at these barbarian strong laborers."

"Isn't it 20, no, 40, it's said that there are 300 million people who immigrated from the grassland this time, what is there to compete for?" Li Daoyan said disdainfully.

"No, my nephew wants 100 million people." Li Yin's voice was so low that he almost lost the courage to open his mouth.

How many? ? ?

Li Daoyan didn't seem to hear clearly, and he exclaimed as if he couldn't believe his ears.

The three generals present all looked at Li Yin with strange eyes.

Chai Shao calmly analyzed and said: "Preliminary statistics show that there are 300 million people in the grassland, but the maximum number of people who agree to emigrate to the south is only 200 million. You want to eat half of it in one place? You really dare to open your mouth?

You are short of people to build roads in central Sichuan, and you, Li Min, support the country's strong and important people. This is all reasonable, but you are so organized, how can other state roads deal with themselves?Boy, if this matter is not possible, you will offend everyone first.

This is not counting the reality of whether you can afford 100 million mouths in Sichuan. What do you want to do? "

Li Daoyan also frowned and reprimanded: "I just praised you for being a big boy, but in a blink of an eye you became stupid. Did you come up with this bad idea, or did some bastard give you a trick?"

Li Yin explained: "I thought about it myself, because I calculated that after a war in the northern grasslands, labor was scarce, and most of the people who immigrated this time were old, weak, sick and disabled.

What I want is strong laborers who can do hard work, but I can't break up other people's families and only recruit strong laborers, right?This is not a wartime catch.

So I need to count their wives and children, and 40 strong laborers. Roughly speaking, at least 100 million people can keep so many strong laborers. "

"That's impossible! The governors of all states and roads have received imperial edicts and reported them in advance. It is impossible for you to go so far.

For example, my Hebei Road, if I hand it over to you privately, I will face impeachment from the court and a run on my colleagues. "Liu Hongji said assertively.

Li Yin actually laughed.
