Chapter 996: A River of Blood [Subscribe*Monthly Tickets]

Immigration has never been difficult. What is difficult is how to resettle them and how to let them survive.

Although Bingzhou is extremely vast, there are not many places that are truly suitable for survival and living.

And this is just the most basic living condition. After surviving, what you need is to be able to live, work, and support your family.

There have been many large-scale population migrations in history, but only the population before the migration has been recorded. The number of people who actually arrived at the migration destination and how many of them survived has never been recorded.

Bingzhou relocated the people of Qi to the prairie. There were actually not many places where the people of Qi could survive. Beiye Wangcheng, Loufan, Juyan Lake, Hetao, and Yanmen Pass were only a few of these places.

It is not easy for the Qi people to adapt to life on the grassland.

"North of the Dalingh River, it's not a problem to feed hundreds of thousands of people!" Yan Yan suddenly said.

Qi and Lu, Qi and Lu, those who went to Guandong are the people of Qi and Lu.

He just moved the time forward by two thousand years.

Freedom is destined by heaven, and what belongs to them will eventually return to their hands.

"Your Majesty, are you planning to let them open up wasteland?" Chen Jian did not expect this result.

It’s normal to think about it. These people are rebels and criminals, not those who took the initiative to go to Bingzhou when Bingzhou was first established.

As a criminal subject and a criminal citizen, if you want to enter Bingzhou, you should directly share the fruits of Bingzhou today. Not to mention that Yan Yan will not agree, the old people in Bingzhou will also object.

This is not fair!
The prosperity of Beiyewangcheng, Hetao and Juyanze today is due to the hard work of the old people in Bingzhou who cultivated the land with hoes one by one and carried heavy loads on their shoulders and hands. Why should these people be allowed to share the fruits of their victory as soon as they come?
"It's too time-consuming and laborious to cross Wei, Zhao, Yanmen Pass, and thousands of miles of grassland!" Yan Yan said seriously.

"So, Langya Port, Sanghai City!" Chen Jian also understood.

Yan Yan and the Water Lord Wei Ju are brothers. If the navy is asked to help relocate the people of Qi and Lu to the north of the Dalingh River by sea, it will save time and effort, and also save a lot of food and grass, rather than asking these people to travel thousands of miles to the hinterland of Bingzhou.

"Not bad!" Yan Yan nodded.

He was not sure how the people of Qi and Lu reached the Northeast when they crossed the Guandong Pass, but with the escort of the navy, the number of people who could reach Guandong alive would be much greater than in history.

Moreover, when they went to Guandong, they did it spontaneously, without any government support, and had to rely entirely on self-sufficiency.

Bingzhou was able to provide them with initial living security and means of production.

The chance of survival is much higher than in later generations.

"Is the area north of Dalingh River really so rich?" Chen Jian hesitated.

He knew that Bingzhou was plotting to take over the area north of the Daling River, and even had the Mohists, the Agriculturalists, and the Gongshuists start manufacturing production tools, but he never paid attention to it.

After crossing the Daling River, no one considers the Northeast as fertile land anymore.

"Very fertile!" Yan Yan nodded seriously.

Although it is not like the south where people can have two or three crops a year, the land there is fertile.

"Since Your Majesty has made such a decision, I will try my best to ensure the logistical supply for the migrating people!" Although Chen Jian did not understand, he still carried out it strictly.

"Go!" Yan Yan waved his hand. An Qisheng would follow up on this matter. He only needed to make a general decision.

"Your Majesty, Generals Shi Teng and Yang Duanhe from the Qin realm request to see you!" Mo Ya walked into the tent and reported.

"Please!" Yan Yan nodded.

It's finally here.

"Qin's internal historian Teng (Yang Duanhe) greets Emperor Xuanwu!" The two bowed after entering the big tent.

"No need for greetings, what is Qin going to do?" Yan Yan smiled and pointed to the thick list in front of him. Nei Shiteng and Yang Duanhe looked at each other and fell silent. They wanted to get the list, but Qin really couldn't do it on their own. Killing one or two, one or two families would be fine, but there were so many.

Especially Nei Shi Teng, he was the Internal History of Qin. What was a Nei Shi? The area directly under the jurisdiction of a country's royal capital was called Nei Shi. Nei Shi was the chief executive of this area and also the commander of the county and prefecture troops across the country.

Therefore, these lists are a hot potato for Neishiteng.

If these lists did not exist, he could pretend not to see them, and Xianyang would not do anything else to him. But now that Bingzhou has made this list, he has to find a way to kill people.

To do otherwise is inaction, dereliction of duty, lazy and indolent governance!

Therefore, compared with border generals like Yang Duanhe, Nei Shiteng is under greater pressure.

"We are willing to fully cooperate with all actions in Bingzhou!" Nei Shiteng said directly, "Even if the Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission want to enter the heartland of our Qin State, our Nei Shi Yamen will fully cooperate!"

"This..." Yang Duanhe looked at Nei Shiteng in surprise. This was no trivial matter.

When the Jinyiwei and Juntong people were allowed to enter the Qin territory to kill people, and Xianyang found out, Nei Shiteng's days were over.

“Stop pretending!” Yan Yan rolled his eyes. “I’m close friends with you two, and you’re actually trying to play tricks on me!”

“……” Nei Shiteng and Yang Duanhe smiled awkwardly.

If the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Military Control Commission wanted to kill someone, the Qin State might not be able to know about it and stop it.

So this promise is as good as fart.

What's more, the Qin State itself wanted to use Bingzhou to kill these people.

"I don't ask for too much. Bingzhou can be used as a knife for Qin, but the money is split 30% to 70%, 70% for Bingzhou and 30% for Qin!" Yan Yan stated the price directly.

Nei Shiteng and Yang Duanhe breathed a sigh of relief. This was within the range they could decide. When they came out, the bottom line given by Xianyang was 28 points.

Bingzhou was responsible for killing people, and Qin was responsible for burying the bodies.

It is equivalent to Qin asking Bingzhou to be a killer.

"How many people, how many families?" Nei Shiteng still had to consider whether the sudden death of so many people would cause irreversible impact on the Qin State.

"There aren't many people. If you count by the nine clans, there are only about 18,000, and about 17 families!" Yan Yan casually threw a few lists to Nei Shiteng.

Nei Shi Teng took it in a hurry and took a quick glance. It was indeed a big fish that even the Qin State did not dare to touch easily.

The price is not high.

"We will definitely cooperate with the Emperor and pretend not to see anything the whole time!" Nei Shiteng and Yang Duanhe finally nodded in agreement.

They don't even dare to look at the lists for too long. Who knows if there are people related to them on them?

So in order to ensure their innocence, even if Yan Yan gave them the list, they didn't dare to look at it.

"Okay, Mo Ya, Bai Feng, cooperate with the two generals and carry out the plan!" Yan Yan looked at Mo Ya and Bai Feng.

"Yes!" Mo Ya and Bai Feng nodded.

Yang Duanhe and Nei Shiteng never asked about the list. They just cooperated with the Jinyiwei and the Military Control Commission to lead the way, allowing the Jinyiwei to kill people. Then they sent out the army and county soldiers to clean up the place and followed the Military Control Commission to count the property.

Then continue to the next one.

Starting from the State of Wei, from east to west, and starting from Hongshang Sai, from north to south, the killing was endless and blood flowed like a river.

Even if these nobles knew that they were on the list and wanted to beg for mercy, the killing would not stop because it was Bingzhou and the Jinyiwei who did the killing.
