Chapter 780 Twenty Years of Prosperity and Strong Soldiers

Jianya saw Jingyanjiang and took a new look at the eagle and controlled the white wolf. He had been in Dingyuan for ten years and was a romantic man for Du Dangyang.

The bow falls in the middle of the swallow branch, and the iron cavalry flies in the cold leaves. The southern hu is not afraid of the autumn air, and the night is sporting the golden and Zhang.

"Give to Border General" Ming Dynasty: Qu Huainian

——I am the dividing line—

On the south side of the West City Slide Walk in Chang'an City, Dou Baoyu, whose hair and beard are white, is also saying goodbye to the children, grandchildren and nephews surrounding him:

"I mean that, you must separate and leave immediately!"

His grandfather Dou Yi was originally a ruined child outside the Five Couples of the Dou family in Fufeng. He started his career because of selling shoes and planting saplings when he was a teenager. Later, he had a unique vision to buy bad land in the city, and the haunted houses made a profit, and he had a place among the wealthy people in Chang'an City.

At that time, he even curled up with the then Grand Marshal Li Mao by investing in the industry, and bought several streets between the Western City Scaling Store and the Baohuo Store. It can be said that relying on the rent of these hundreds of shops alone is enough to benefit the Dou family from generation to generation.

But now that it was passed down to Dou Baoyu, various business operations, including Dou Jiadian, began to become increasingly difficult and deteriorating as the situation changed. The current situation made him feel that he could no longer maintain it and had to make choices and changes.

However, obviously his children and grandchildren did not see this way. He immediately rushed to speak:

"Aweng, we have been born here and raised here for generations. If we leave this Shangjing, what will we do?"

"Aye, I have survived all the hardships and difficulties for so many years. Do you have to give up all of them?"

"Please think twice. Our family is no better than the dilapidated and poor families in the city. After all..."

"No matter how well the South talks, can we avoid the robbery? At least there is a chance to resurrect the camp in this city."

"But if my family members have lost these industries and rely on some of the wealth they have brought to the place, wouldn't they just be slaughtered by others? I'm afraid there will be unexpected accidents!"

It is reasonable for them to be reluctant to let go of these. After all, since Dou Yi started the Dou family and the Dou family had used the efforts of three generations, the "Fufeng Children" and "Shoes Sales" mentioned by Chang'an Shimin became the so-called "Xicheng Dou Family" and "Dou Xingshou".

In the eyes of most people in Jingzhao under the feet of the emperor, the people in this world are just a rough difference between "Shangjing people" and outsiders. In addition, they also gained more convenience and self-support through their contributions to the powerful and powerful courts.

When the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was reigned, the Dou family followed the popular Princess Tongchang Princess Wei Baoheng; when the current polo lord was in power, he also tried his best to worship Tian Lingzi, the "Dafu" who was powerful. Therefore, although it was inevitable that he would lose money and suffer heavy losses, at least he still saved his main family business.

However, with the increasing collapse of the world and the tightening of current situations, various financial resources and inputs that have been declining day by day have led to the market depressed and inevitable small and medium-sized businesses competing for bankruptcy; only these giant merchants and the leading guilds are struggling to persevere with the foundation accumulated over the generations.

However, this irresponsible emperor of art and literature was gone. He replaced it with a group of mud legs from among the grass, which established the Daqi New Dynasty. The Dou family also paid a lot of money to favor and curry favor with several important officials of the Daqi as their backers.

Dou Baoyu not only sent his children to bring wealth and treasures to make friends with many generals in the army, but also married the daughters of the two clans to Shang Taiwei's cousin Shang Ru and Jingzhao Yin Huang Cun as concubines; but all these efforts still cannot be changed, from the massacre and murder that night.

The Fufeng Dou family, which had been a powerful family since the Northern Dynasties, had been the uncle of Taizong and Xuanzong, and had also produced the Fufeng Dou family, which had six prime ministers: Dou Wei, Dou Kang, Dou Dexuan, Dou Huaizhen, Dou Shen and Dou Yizhi, was destroyed overnight;

And those who were destroyed along with it were Cui, Wei, Pei, Lu, Zheng, Wang, Gao, Du, Xiao, Yang and other families that were once equally noble and prominent. They just raised their families, and fell under the bloody butcher knife, regardless of age.

On the contrary, his Dou family branch, which is farther from the imperial city, was in the western city, amid the fear and noise of waiting for death behind closed doors, and the Taiping Army, who had waited for dawn to intervene again. At this point, the Dou family's plan to barely maintain the capital and wait for a turnaround will be difficult to sustain.

Thinking of this, he said in a hurry:

"A group of stupid and murderous people, what if you don't leave at this time? Stay here and wait for death... Industry is dead, and people live!"

"Now the Taiping Army is about to withdraw as promised. Can someone save you this time and you can save you next time?"

"Those soldiers of the new dynasty cannot do anything to the Taiping Army, can't they do anything to us ordinary people who are fighting for success?"

"The kindness and benefits of the Taiping Army are actually so easy to absorb. How many people died on the streets earlier and how many families were destroyed; how many soldiers were executed on the street afterwards?"

"I've followed the Taiping Army to travel south to the south, and seek a new situation after dying and seeking life; will it be better for people to ask for more revenge?"

"How could I have such a short-sighted and foolish descendants like you... Now the scholars and people in the city know that the current direction of seeking profit and avoiding harm, why are you blinded when you get to the point?"

——I am a confused dividing line—

For Zhou Huaian, who is in Chang'an City, there is not much noise or objection in the previous withdrawal this time. After all, after declaring that the muscles and strength that can be returned at any time and getting the other party to bow their heads in disguise, there is no need to continue to get more entanglement.

It is more surprising or surprising that Chang'an people who are willing to follow the Taiping Army to the south are much more than expected. In addition to the dozens of yard areas in the south of the city that were beaten into ruins or were ruined, there are even people from Zhongcheng and Beicheng.

Therefore, in order to transport these relatively distinctive and high-quality human resources to the south with a relatively safe transportation, the Taiping Army had to slow down the pace of withdrawal and move out various vehicles and horses as much as possible to assist in the great migration to Shannan within the pass.

After all, any large-scale migration in ancient times was a humanitarian disaster in the usual sense. In this era, there was no shortage of poisonous snakes, beasts, bandits and soldiers on the road in the wild. There was also the threat of hunger and disease, and there was also internal friction such as fighting for survival resources within the intercourse of hunger and cold, causing human vegetation. Effective organization and protection are needed to control the corresponding loss and reduction of personnel to the minimum extent.

Du Fu's poem "Three Quatrains" written during the Anshi Rebellion has a special description of this: "Twenty families entered Shu together, but one of them left Luo Gu. He said that the two women were grooming their arms, but they turned around and cried to Qin Yun." What kind of tragedy happened during this period, it is conceivable but chilling.

Then, as the saying goes, moving for three years, let alone long-distance migration through the prefectures and counties, crossing mountains and ridges, a new life will be started again in completely unfamiliar movements, which is almost enough to make any wealthy family extremely poor. Therefore, in order to ensure the maximum efficiency of using such a batch of human resources, it is also necessary to carefully place and allocate, and the resources and places required will be a large number.

For example, the people who came out of the metropolis of Chang'an, it was too wasteful and inefficient to let them go to farm in one size fits the whole thing; the tragedy caused by the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia is the best explanation. In contrast, after a brief transition to the classification of the editorial and management areas, it is a better choice to let them engage in the urban handicraft and service industry that has already sprouted and developed in this era.

After all, it is the world's number one city and the best place. Compared with the scholars and the people, the level of knowledge and experience is much higher than that of other cities and cities. At the same time, it can also break the old barriers and traditions and rebuild a relatively active and advanced social order and production relations structure under the leadership of the Taiping Army.

On the other hand, this is also an important political vane, and a propaganda material that is popular with people's hearts. After all, compared with the fact that they had to flee in pieces or exchange populations for a fee, this time they actively followed the Taiping Army from Shangjing Chang'an to migrate out of thousands of people, and their political significance and influence they represent are not comparable to other places.

In the complimentary and flattering words of Lu Yan, Guan Xiu and others, this is the policy of great virtue that compares the historical allusion of "the latter lord (Liu Bei) left Jingzhou, and the people cried and followed each other" during the Three Kingdoms. However, he received a new report next.

"What? I discovered that Li Han, the general of Heyang who ran to the south of the city, came to spy on his way? He also claimed to want to pay homage to me?"
