Prince Yun's Mansion.
"Your Majesty, Prefect Jiang from Yumen Pass has sent word that all the money, food and manpower have been traded, and the last batch of 100,000 people is on the way and will arrive at Yunzhou County in the near future.
In addition, various students have also returned one after another. According to the previous agreement, the people they brought back will follow them to the appointed place of appointment.
But in this way, Zhang Zheng's side will not be able to make arrangements. After all, he has brought back 700,000 people. It is impossible to get all 700,000 people to the place where he takes office, right?
The county governor's office wants to ask the prince for instructions. How should this matter be handled? "
In the palace, Wang Huaien reported to Zhao Jun on the current situation and asked the county governor's Yamen questions.
Zhao Jun was changing his baby son's diaper when he heard the words: "Although this boy has traded 700,000 people with the imperial court, he is also a talented person, but the money he spent in transactions with the imperial court has exceeded the money I have given him. money.
So naturally we cannot count all 700,000 people on his head.
So, where does this little guy take office now? "
Zhao Jun asked while skillfully changing his baby son's diaper.
He has been changing diapers every day for the past few months, and now Zhao Jun can proudly say that he is an expert at changing diapers!
After hearing this, Wang Huaien immediately replied: "Zhang Zheng was arranged by the Yunzhou County Sheriff's Yamen in the neighboring capital city of Dongyuan County."
"Lingdu? Is it the city that was renamed after the city closest to the palace?"
Zhao Jun was a little surprised.
"Exactly here!"
Wang Huaien nodded and said:
"Where is he actually placed? It's not easy to take up his post here!" Zhao Jun sighed with emotion.
Wang Huaien said with a smile: "Zhang Zheng is a great talent that you personally said, Your Majesty.
As the saying goes, those who are capable work hard. Isn't it true that great talents are used in such critical places? "
Zhao Jun burst out laughing when he heard this. He nodded his hand and Wang Huaien said with a smile: "You! You!"
Then he thought again and said:
"Well, since he is in a neighboring capital, let's make up a lucky number for him and give him 80,000 people!
There shouldn't be too few people in this place, nor too many. Eighty thousand is just right.
How a leader can develop depends on his performance! "
"promise!"
Wang Huaien responded, then smiled and said:
"Your Majesty, the New Year is coming soon. The county governor sent a letter to ask if he wants to hold a grand party. After all, the young prince was just born this year. It is also a big happy event for our Yunzhou County. Everyone wants to have a good time. .”
Zhao Jun glanced at him, twitched the corner of his mouth, and said angrily: "These guys, if they want to make a big show, just say so, and they will use the crown prince to judge everything."
Then he waved his hand and said: "Let's do it, let's do it. The palace will invest 500,000 taels and let the Yunzhou County Yamen see what to do. If it's not enough, they will have to make up for it. After all, they were the ones who suggested it."
Wang Huaien nodded in agreement and then retreated.
Soon the county governor's office got the news, and the new refugees who stayed in Yunzhou County quickly divided into 80,000 people and headed eastward towards Shendu.
At the same time, they also began to arrange the celebrations for today's New Year's Eve. There are now three cities in Yunzhou County. Since it must be held in Yunzhou City, it cannot be held only in Yunzhou City.
Yunzhong and Dingyang have to be managed together, so the county magistrate's office has a lot of work to do, and they are busy all day long.
And one after another, the students who went to the political school in Hedong also came back.
Fortunately, those students who were sent to places where the establishment had been completely wiped out had all their gold and silver and reached the limit of how many people they wanted to bring back.
Then, for those students who were assigned to places where there was still an establishment, things were fine in the early days, but in the later period, the court suddenly started to take people away, and soon after, the food for disaster relief came down, making their work countless times more difficult in an instant.
There is no doubt that this situation is naturally caused by the transaction between the imperial court and Yunzhou County, and it is inevitable.
But these students spent some time and brought back people, but the number of people they brought back with their money and food was much less than they originally expected.
The cost of carrying a person later has also increased a lot due to the arrival of disaster relief.
Li Lin, who went to Xifengkou, finally came back. When he learned about Zhang Zheng's feat from the county governor's office, he was stunned!
It took a while to calm down.
But at the same time, he also understood that he lost this test.
He lost because Zhang Zheng found another way!
But then he quickly regained his fighting spirit.
A temporary victory or defeat is not enough to defeat him. Since he lost this time, he will win it back next time!
In the future, there will be many places for them to compare in governing the place!
So soon, Li Lin went to Rufeng County with high spirits and his appointment. He was assigned to a small county under Rufeng County as the county magistrate.
Although he is only a county magistrate, based on his performance, I believe he will be promoted again soon.
And those students who ranked at the bottom of this test will probably end up in that position for the rest of their lives.
…
The transaction was completely completed. In addition to the 700,000 people who traded with the imperial court, Yunzhou County brought a total of nearly 300,000 students back to Yunzhou County. Yunzhou County took this opportunity to bring them back to Yunzhou County. The population of Song people in their own territory increased by one million.
Even if divided evenly, a new county could be divided into more than 300,000 people.
Although more than 300,000 people cannot support the prosperity of a county, they are enough to serve as the cornerstone of a prosperous place.
With these more than 300,000 people, Yunzhou County's rule over the local area can be considered stable.
With the subsequent development of these 300,000 people, and the subsequent migration of candidates, Yunzhou County will be able to completely control the three counties in the hands of Yunzhou County.
Yes, there are still candidates for follow-up. It is naturally not what Zhao Jun expected to bring back only one million people to Yunzhou County, but Zhao County will not continue to gather the population in the land east of Hedong.
Not to mention that the area has already been conquered by him, the imperial court is also wary of him. If he sends people to gather the population, he will be watched very closely, and he may not be able to gather them, or the number of people gathered will be very small. less.
Let's just say that the population of Hedong has dropped sharply after the disaster. In addition, he has gathered more than one million people and those taken away by the Huns. Now the population of Hedong has dropped to an extremely dangerous level.
If it drops further, even if the land east of the river has money and food, it will be impossible to quickly repair the border cities successfully.
If the city here is not repaired well, after the snow melts in the spring of next year, Hedong County will be faced with the danger and possibility of Huns entering and plundering from time to time.
Zhao Jun still has to be careful and not act arbitrarily.
Otherwise, there will definitely be another scene of devastation.
So since we can't continue to get the population from Hedong, where should we get the population from?
Zhao Jun looked at the grassland on the other side of the Northwest Hedong Corridor.
Although the Xiongnu invaded this time, they killed many people, but in the end they also plundered a large number of people and took them back as slaves.
And these people who were brought back by them naturally became Zhao Jun's targets.
That's right, Zhao Jun wants to hunt!
It's not easy to rob the pass, so I have to worry about my reputation.
There is nothing to worry about in the grassland.
It just depends on whether you can defeat the Huns.
However, Zhao Jun is still somewhat sure about this!
