Chapter 47 The Great Migration

"One stone of grain and grass will be replaced with one young and strong, or two old and young. As for how much grain you have, you can change it as much as you can." Yang Lian said.

Yizhou used high-yield grain crops to open up land, and Yang Lian established a fertilizer plant for this purpose, with extremely high output. Although there were light labor and labor, Yizhou had a lot of grain and grass reserves, which was enough for millions of soldiers and civilians to eat or drink for a year. In addition, Yizhou is located in the sea and has a large amount of fishery resources. It can be said that Yizhou has got rid of the problem of food and clothing and has begun to move towards a well-off society.

After the final voting resolution, the roundtable decision-making meeting rejected Guo Jing's request to send troops and passed Yang Lian's plan to exchange food for population.

Guo Jing had to hurry back to the Song Dynasty and implement the plan to replace the population with food. However, Yang Lian was not optimistic about Guo Jing. The Song Dynasty was a typical stubborn person, and was fighting insiders and outsiders.

Even if you knock me down, get rid of me, or be beaten to death, I still have to fight in the middle, but I just don’t accept it. Unless you die, you won’t fight in the middle.

To improve yourself, there is no way to smear the enemy's pleasure and ease.

As Yang Lian expected, Guo Jing and his party could not even enter the gate of the Great Song Imperial City. Guo Jing was also a fool. He didn't know the art of giving gifts, nor did he know which direction the yamen door was going. He just rushed in like this, it would be strange if someone lets you in.

Fortunately, Guo Jing is still a little famous in the world, and some officials respect Guo Jing quite respects Guo Jing. The Song Dynasty was not as cruel and dull as the Qing Dynasty. Guo Jing finally had the opportunity to meet the Song Dynasty officials. Before he could talk a few words, the Song Dynasty officials bombed Guo Jing out. Because Guo Jing was too straightforward, his words were not as nice as the ministers of the Song Dynasty, and his words were too harsh.

Guo Jing, who was bombed out, wanted to meet with the Song Dynasty officials again for a chat, but what happened was that he was rolling his eyes and making things difficult. Guo Jing suddenly felt a sense of tragic feeling of being unable to serve the country. At the same time, Guo Jing's passion suddenly felt like he was poured on a basin of cold water, which made him feel cold and filled his heart.

"I don't believe in the Song Dynasty's officials and the Song Dynasty." Yang Lian's words resounded again in Guo Jing's mind. Guo Jing walked on the streets of Lin'an City in a daze, his ears filled with all kinds of ridicule and cold eyes from ministers.

There was fierce fighting in front, but the rear was still singing and dancing. As the saying goes, the front was tight and the rear was tight. Guo Jing, who knew that the Mongolian Yuan soldiers were strong, understood that the Song Dynasty had the principle of invincible.

What Guo Jing didn't understand was why the Mongolian Yuan could unite, and the seemingly loose Yizhou could also unite, but the Song Dynasty, which was known as the Supreme Kingdom of the Celestial Empire, could not unite. Not only did it not unite, it also quarreled everywhere, pulled its back hard, and almost all its energy was devoted to internal struggles, and ignored the upcoming Mongolian Yuan butcher knife.

At this moment, Guo Jing felt as if he was so sad that he walked on the street in a daze. In the end, Guo Jing, who woke up, still embarked on the old path and relied on his own strength to help the Song Dynasty defend the city.

At the same time, Yang Lian was not idle either. Yang Lian first persuaded the roundtable decision-making team, and then mobilized troops from the naval battle to enter the Song Dynasty and began to steal people. In the past, people came to Yizhou to persuade others with kind words and temptations, but now, the Mongolian and Yuan army is approaching, Yang Lian doesn't care about so much and directly starts the mode of robbing people by force.

The people of the Song Dynasty were too comfortable and always had fantasies that the Mongol Yuan would not come to their homes, unless the Mongol Yuan scimitar fell on their heads, they could only recognize the reality. However, it was too late to this time.

Instead of becoming the deceased soul of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, it is better to come to Yizhou to open up the land. At this time, the sales bases built by Yang Lianhua played a great role. These sales bases were not only responsible for selling soap, hair salves and other products, but also for collecting intelligence information.

These strongholds were like a huge spider web, covering the entire Song Dynasty. Yang Lian could pass the stronghold and understand the population distribution map of each stronghold in a radius of hundreds of miles. During the war between the Yuan and Song dynasties, Yang Lian began to snatch people unscrupulously through these strongholds, taking advantage of the advantages of the southern waterways.

If there is an obstacle, Yang Lian will directly lead the way for money. In the perception of the officials of the Song Dynasty, it would be a pity to regenerate if there is no one, and money will be gone. But in Yizhou, people are the most precious resource. Yang Lian spent a lot of real gold and silver, and the road to grab people was smooth.

Often, a village was pulled away by Yang Lian's men. After only bringing enough clothes and food to wear, it burned the village with fire, which could be considered as a disguised way to strengthen the walls and clear the fields and blocking the Mongol cavalry.

When we arrived in Yizhou, the corresponding officials were ready to take them to the houses that had been built long ago, and then allocated them tools, grain, etc. to them to open up land.

These people do the same job as before, but their treatment and benefits vary greatly. Only after adapting to and integrating into the Yizhou system did these people in the Song Dynasty know what life was. In the past, it was just called survival. The various measures of Yizhou made them quickly abandon the Song Dynasty and began to be loyal to Yizhou.

The Song Dynasty was the Song Dynasty of the officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty. Yizhou was its own Yizhou. The two were incomparable. Being loyal to Yizhou means being loyal to oneself.

Yang Lian guessed that Xiangyang had to be guarded for five or six years, and Xiangyang had only a city that was broken, and the Song Dynasty had no natural dangers to rely on, and the Mongols would march straight into the country. This is true in the official history. The Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed in the three years after the fall of Xiangyang.

What Yang Lian couldn't understand was that since Xiangyang was so important, why did the officials and scholars of the Song Dynasty not desperately strengthen the defense of Xiangyang and mobilized troops into Xiangyang, and were still fighting and fighting in various internal struggles.

Internal news from the Southern Song Dynasty continued to spread to Yizhou, and the entire round table decision-making group of Yizhou sighed. The power was really terrible, and there was only one breath left, and there was still internal struggle.

This also made Yizhou completely give up its plan to support the Southern Song Dynasty by force. Yizhou, headed by Yang Lian, was waiting for the Southern Song Dynasty to perish.

Yang Lian did not mean to Bai and others, but took advantage of this time to start the first industrialization process. The completion of the construction of the first steam engine represents the beginning of the first industrialization. Only by completing industrialization can Yizhou, a small place, remain vibrant and aggressive.

To put it bluntly, Yang Lian was preparing to let Yizhou follow the old path of Britain. Only in this way can Yizhou use the power of capital to show its invasion characteristics and truly reveal its fangs. If you still play the previous agricultural civilization, you will be finished sooner or later.

In the next six years, Yizhou has maintained abundant vitality, and all walks of life appear like a blooming flower. The big chimneys representing civilization appear one by one. In later generations, this will definitely be stopped by the environmental protection department, but at this time, it is a symbol of civilization.

As Yang Lian expected, even with Guo Jing, Huang Rong and Beggars' Gang's disciples defended, Xiangyang was eventually defeated by the Mongol Yuan. Since then, the Mongol Yuan can whip south all the way, and there is no natural danger to defend in the Song Dynasty.

Guo asked and Huang Rong returned to Yizhou in shame and asked Yizhou to send troops to fight against the Mongolian Yuan, but was rejected by Yang Lian and other staff members.
