Chapter 353 Internal Immigration

But at this moment, Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said to Wen Xin in his arms with some eagerness: "Wen Xin, how about you go to Siqi with me? The scenery there is good, and the Buddhist and Taoist paths are prosperous. In addition, summer is about to begin. The temperature in Siqi is lower than that in Dengzhou. I might as well take you there to escape the summer heat."

"Me? Can I go together too?" Wen Xin said in surprise. She knew that Li Yan had something to deal with when he went to Si Wei. If she followed her, would it cause some trouble for her husband?

"Of course I can go. I was confused before, but I didn't expect this. Now Siqi City is in control of my husband, and safety is not a problem. In addition, what I want to do this time is to target Japan, but I won't go to Japan in person. Most of the time I should stay in Siqi City, so I will definitely take time to spend more time with you!" Li Xian said with a laugh.

He got into the horn before. He used to do anything by himself, but he never thought of taking Wen Xin and the others with him. Anyway, Si Weicheng is not bad, just treat it as a family trip. And if Wen Xin and Xijun can go there, then he can also hurry up and spread out his branches, hahaha~

Li Yan smiled very vulgarly. When Wen Xin saw Li Yan's appearance, she didn't understand what he was thinking. She was so ashamed that she crawled into Li Yan's arms and refused to look up again.

Since she made up her mind to take Wenxin and the others, Li Yan did not waste time. The next day she informed Xijun of the news and asked her to prepare something, especially the supplies needed by Chou Chou. This time she followed Li Yan to Siqi. In addition, after Concubine Yang and Empress Xiao and the others returned from Taiwan, Concubine Yang lived in Dengzhou for a few days, and then brought people back to Chang'an, leaving only Empress Xiao and Cai'er to live here. As for Cai'er, she was naturally very happy when she heard that she was going to have a trip.

After dealing with the matter in Dengzhou, Li Yan finally took his family to Siqi again. However, this time, in addition to his royal mansion fleet, there were more than a dozen troop transport ships. In addition to the 1,000 muskets and 500 gunners on Pili Island, these ships transported more than 2,000 muskets and more than 100 cannons, as well as a large number of gunpowder, grenades, shells and other firearms.

In addition to this small firearm unit, there are more than 3,000 Kunlun slave troops. These Kunlun slaves were bought by Chen Gong at super low prices from slave merchants in various ports. They are a little more expensive than ordinary slaves, which can be said to be extremely cost-effective. In fact, the reason why these Kunlun slaves are so low is that as the Tang Dynasty's sea merchants get farther and farther away, the number of Kunlun slaves is increasing, and the price naturally drops.

Another point is also very important, that is, a qualified Kunlun slave must undergo rigorous training, at least to make his wildness disappear and he knows Chinese. Otherwise, no one would be willing to buy it. However, although the number of Kunlun slaves has increased now, the people who train Kunlun slaves are still the same as before. As a result, those who train Kunlun slaves cannot eat so much goods, and all of them fell into the hands of slave merchants in the port, so the price is naturally low.

In just over half a month, Chen Gong bought more than 3,000 Kunlun slaves, and all of them were shipped to Dengzhou. According to his letter, this was only a part. There should be more Kunlun slaves sent there. However, Li Yan told him not to send them to Dengzhou anymore, but to Siqi directly.

As Silla and Baekje were conquered by Li Yan, they were divided into three Hanzhous, south, middle and north. Siqian was not only the capital of South Korea, but also the closest important city to Dengzhou in the three Hanzhous. Therefore, the route from Dengzhou to Siqian was very busy. Li Yan and the others saw endless merchant ships, carrying people or goods along the way. Each ship had a deep waterline. It seemed that the owners wanted to decorate as much as possible.

On the Li Yan's King of Qi, Empress Xiao looked at the fleet that was passing by from time to time and asked in confusion: "Liulang, after I heard that when I was in Chang'an, Baekje and Silla were both poor countries, and they had fought for such a long time before. I guess the country was even more difficult. In such a poor place, what would these caravans do there?"

After hearing this, Li Yan smiled and said, "My grandmother didn't know that after her grandson controlled Silla and Baekje, the two countries were in a difficult situation and the people could not even eat. Many places were hungry. In order to help these victims, the grandson asked people to recruit workers there and exchange labor for grain, which saved countless people. In addition, many merchants set up various factories there, so the Sanhanzhou has changed. If these fleets go to Sanhan, they should send food and raw materials, and the people who come back would pull various goods produced by the factory."

After listening to Li Yan's explanation of embellishing himself, Wen Xin and Caier did not doubt it, but praised Li Yan for what he did. After all, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. However, Empress Xiao and Xijun both looked at Li Yan with a meaningful look, and their faces showed a smile. They were different from Wen Xin and Caier. One was a vicissitudes and the other was a business situation in charge of the royal family. Therefore, we can naturally hear the meaning of Li Yan's words. This is naturally impossible to compare with them.

Dengzhou was not far from Siqi, and Li Yan's fleet soon arrived at the destination. After arranging Wen Xin and Empress Xiao and the others to the palace in Siqi City, Li Yan's first meeting was not Wang An and Lu Hong, who were in charge of government affairs in the city, but instead found Hu Li and Zhou Long, and then handed over the three thousand Kunlun slaves to them, so that the two of them could train these Kunlun slaves into a warable soldier in the shortest time.

Zhou Long is a veteran in military training. Although most of these Kunlun slaves do not know Chinese and are a little troublesome to train, this is just a little troublesome to Zhou Long. He has some ways to make these Kunlun slaves obedient. In addition, Li Yan also asked Hu Li to mobilize all the useful Silla soldiers to train with these Kunlun slaves, which will be of great use.

After seeing Zhou Long and the others taking the order, Li Yan asked someone to find Lu Hong and Wang An, intending to ask if anything happened during the period when he left Si Wei?

"See Your Highness!" Wang An and Lu Hong entered the hall side by side and bowed to Li Yan together and said. After not seeing each other for more than a month, there was no major change between the two, but there was a bit of tiredness between their eyebrows. It seemed that they were all very tired during this period.

"No need to be polite. No major happenings in the San Hanzhou during this period, right?" Li Yan asked with a smile.

Hearing Li Yan’s question, Lu Hong and Wang An did not answer immediately, but hesitated for a moment and looked at each other again, and then saw Wang An step forward and said, “Your Highness, I am trying to report something!”

Li Yan was stunned. Looking at Wang An and his two expressions, he could guess that something must have happened, but what kind of big thing could have happened after he left for such a short time?

At this time, Wang An continued to report: "Your Highness, during this period, Weichen and Lord Lu have finally come up with a plan that is very beneficial to Youth Highness. Now I am trying to ask Your Highness to agree to implement it!"

Li Yan was surprised when he heard Wang An's words, and asked in confusion: "Fu Wang, when I left Sanhanzhou, didn't I give you all the political affairs in Sanhanzhou to you for full authority? Since you said there was a plan that was very beneficial to me, then I would do it, and I don't have to agree to everything!"

Li Yan is a lazy person and knows how to delegate power. Generally, he only grasps the general direction and leaves the rest to his hands. Since Wang An and Lu Hong were responsible for the matter of Sanhan, he definitely believed them. Wang An should also understand this. In theory, he should not ask himself for advice on these matters.

However, when he heard Li Yan's words, Wang An and Lu Hong both smiled, and Wang An continued: "Report to your highness, although I have the power to deal with the three Hanzhous, this plan is too much involved, and without His Highness's consent, we will still not be able to implement it with the two of us. Therefore, I waited until the palace came down before asking for instructions."

"What is the plan?" Li Yan's appetite was completely suffocated by Wang An and Lu Qing, and he asked with interest.

"Your Highness, this plan is actually immigration in simple terms!" Wang An said with a smile.

"Immigration?" Li Yan couldn't understand now. Where did this immigrant go? If we immigrated from the Tang Dynasty to Sanhanzhou, although the population of the Tang Dynasty was large, the place was also large. In addition, after the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population had decreased significantly. It was difficult for him to immigrate in the south. There was really no need to immigrate in a barren area like Sanhanzhou, right?

Seeing Li Yan's puzzled expression, Wang An and Lu Hong both laughed and then told him their plans in detail. After hearing this, Li Yan realized that it was not what he thought. These two people did not intend to immigrate from the Tang Dynasty to Sanhan, but immigrate from the Sanhan. To be precise, they mainly moved all the people in South Korea where they were located to North Korea and China and South Korea.

Li Yan was a little puzzled after hearing this. The area of ​​the three Korean states is similar. Most of South Korean states are homelands of Baekje and the population is quite large. Although the population has dropped a lot after recruiting workers, if all the population in the entire state is moved out, it would definitely be a big project. And after the South Korean state is vacated, how will Wang An and the others plan to deal with this land?
