At this time, Deng Bin, Gao Gao, Shangguan Bolong, Lu Ludao, Ou Ligui, Yun Zhongya, and Zhang Guanmin came to Zhao Ping with their faces dusty.
Zhao Ping did not expect that Deng Bin, Gao Xing, Shangguan Bolong, Ou Ligui, and Zhang Guanmin would get the job done and actually increase the population of Jintang County by 35,000.
Zhao Ping didn't care about their sour smell. He personally made tea for them and sat down to talk. The seven people were so moved that they accepted the tea while thanking them.
What made my uncle even more happy was that this time they brought people not from the territory of the Song Dynasty, but from the territory of the Hu people.
Most of these are people from the Central Plains, that is, most people are from Xiyang and Kaifeng, and there are also a small number of people from Xingyuan Prefecture.
Henan was experiencing continuous wars, and the people were in great distress, and they had already thought of escaping.
If it were a sporadic escape, the Hu people's government would not interfere, but such a large-scale escape would be impossible without alerting the government.
How did they do it? The uncle wanted to ask Zhao Ping very much.
In fact, Zhao Ping knew the best place to attract people. It was not Jiading or Changyuan County, but the Central Plains and other places outside the Song Dynasty.
The key is that the Hu people also began to establish government offices. The people of the Central Plains were undecided, and they were particularly yearning for the wealth, humanity, and education of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, even if the Hu people's government was established, people would avoid them because of their barbarism and cruelty.
But the risk is too high. It would be okay if we pull people in sporadically, but if we pull people in on a large scale, it would be difficult not to attract the attention of the barbarians.
In the narrations of Deng Bin, Shangguan Bolong, and Lu Ludao, everyone finally understood the difficulties and twists and turns of this great population migration.
Wang Zhongchen is Wang Dechen's eldest brother. He looks similar, but is at least half a head shorter.
He has been extremely angry recently. Not only are his children trembling with fear, but even his concubine was severely whipped by him with a whip.
The reason was that the concubine said she had run out of Flower Fairy Gouache and asked Wang Zhongchen to buy him a bottle.
This concubine is usually the most favored by him. Not only is she young and beautiful, but she can also play chess, calligraphy and painting.
He has always doted on this concubine and satisfied her with almost everything.
And this concubine relied on her love for her and planned to replace a bottle of orchid-scented Flower Fairy Powder, but she didn't expect that it would touch the horse's hoof.
He couldn't bear to see this concubine who was about the same size as his eldest daughter crying and going out.
He wanted very much to call her back and love her, but there was always a fire burning in his heart.
He had been in a particularly bad mood recently, and found that the Wang family had been left out in the cold.
If it hadn't been for the recent incident, Wang Zhongchen's family would have thought that their family was still favored.
On that occasion, Zhang Xi, a member of the navy's ten thousand households, entertained guests and presented them with glass wine glasses and glass tea cups that they had never seen before.
The cup is as crystal clear as water, and the wine is clearly visible when you pour it into it.
Especially the buds and young leaves at the bottom of Zui Chunfeng's leaves are completely stretched after being soaked in boiling water.
Sure enough, it is the drunken spring breeze. Although it is dry and thin, but after soaking in boiling water, even though it is summer, the bottom of the leaves is still bright yellow, as if it is still spring.
As for a famous dish called soy-flavored yellow croaker, it was so delicious and fragrant that he almost swallowed it.
He has never tasted this taste before. He heard that it uses the soy sauce that is said to be used only in the imperial palace, and it is really different.
While Wang Zhongchen held his hands in congratulations, he couldn't help but ask where these things were purchased.
Guo Kan smiled lightly and said, "You can't buy this even if you want to."
Wang Zhongchen was shocked and realized that this was a reward from the Great Khan to meritorious ministers.
Oh, our Wang family shed their blood for the sake of the Khan. My father conquered the Nanman Sichuan city many times, my brother Wang Zhichen died in battle, and my second brother Wang Dechen also conquered the Nanman Sichuan many times.
Isn't this a credit or something?
He thought about it all night and finally figured out the reason.
Since Wang Dechen buried 100,000 soldiers and horses in Jiading, the Wang family's status among the Hu people has plummeted.
It was not without Wang Dechen's efforts that he almost captured Jiading, but he failed after all.
If the troops failed, they could still make excuses when they came back, but the army of 100,000 was almost wiped out.
This is the first time since Meng Gong that he has achieved a great victory with more than 10,000 people, and the achievements this time are so brilliant that they even surpass Meng Gong.
Meng Gong only defeated the Hu people's 100,000 troops to the death or injury, but this battle in Jiading was almost a total annihilation, and even the coach did not run away.
This battle reversed the psychological disadvantage against the barbarians in one fell swoop, and also greatly changed the strategic passive situation of the southern barbarians in Sichuan.
On the contrary, the 100,000-strong Hu army left in a fierce manner, but was almost completely wiped out and returned in disastrous defeat.
The commander-in-chief was none other than the Great Khan of the Hu people, who called him Tian Geer and Wang Dechen.
This time, it can be said that it was a huge blow to the morale of the Hu people. Wang Dechen, who had never been defeated before, was defeated and "killed".
If the Song Dynasty was promoted based on military exploits, the Hu people were directly linked to military exploits, status and honor.
The Wang family suffered such a humiliating defeat. It was not a shame, but a disgrace. It was a disgrace to the family and even more to the Hu people.
Meng Ge Khan was open-minded and still gave good advice to Wang Zhongchen and others, asking Wang Zhongchen and others to be at ease.
After hearing the Khan's advice, the Wang family felt a little relieved.
After all, the Wang family is so loyal to the Great Khan of the Hu people that even throwing their heads and blood is no more effective.
Now I finally understand that although the Great Khan said it was nothing, the Great Khan still cared about the fact that Wang Dechen suffered such a severe defeat.
Although he did not want to neglect the old heroes, the Mongol Khanate still allowed merit to determine its status.
If you continue to favor a general despite losing soldiers, it will not chill the heart of a meritorious minister.
There was no other way. The Mongol Khanate was not interested in the Southern Barbarians ruling the country through culture, and relied purely on force to conquer the world and govern the country.
What made Wang Zhongchen even more shocked was that not only did the Wang family lose their share of the rewards from the Great Khan, but the salary for the meritorious officials also stopped.
In other words, he no longer has the money to buy gouache for his beloved concubine.
Because the Mongol Khanate relied on force to conquer the world, the salary of this meritorious official accounted for more than 60% of the Wang family.
This is equivalent to the fact that the income of future generations is composed of wages and bonuses. The salary of the Wang family's meritorious officials is the bonus, and from now on it will only be wages.
Not only could he not buy gouache for his concubine, he might not even be able to support her.
Because he had nine children, eating, drinking, and eating enough to eat up his whole family.
Wang Zhongchen stayed up all night and thought about it all night.
He found that the only way to restore the family's former prosperity was to make military exploits again, and he really wanted to ask for orders to lead troops and horses to attack Nanman Sichuan.
But this is very unrealistic, because the person in the family who can best be defeated is the second brother Wang Dechen.
In addition to the second brother, there is also a fourth brother Wang Hanchen.
However, Wang Zhongchen was far inferior to his second brother, known as Tian Geer, in terms of military leadership, martial arts, and strategy, and was also inferior to his fourth brother, Wang Hanchen.
Now that the second brother led an army of 100,000 and was almost completely defeated by that Zhao Ping, how could he defeat the Southern Barbarians?
The second brother was heard to have been killed by the Nanman, and there was no news about the fourth brother.
It can be said that the most capable member of the Wang family has been wiped out in this battle of Jiading.
Although he is the eldest son in the family, he is one with relatively mediocre qualifications.
Wang Zhongchen didn't have a good rest for several days in a row. His wife saw this and was anxious in her heart.
On this day, she personally combed the official's hair and couldn't help but scream.
Although Wang Zhongchen didn't like his wife very much, he still respected her. Hearing the scream, he suppressed his displeasure and asked, "What's the matter?"
His wife hesitated for a moment and finally made up her mind. He felt a slight pain in his scalp.
His wife handed him a few white hairs, comforted Wang Zhongchen and said, "Official, don't worry too much, you have already grown white hairs."
Wang Zhongchen didn't believe that he had gray hair. He was only in his early thirties.
When he took out those long white hairs and looked at them repeatedly, he couldn't help but sigh.
Is this how I say goodbye to my youth?
Just when Wang Zhongchen was feeling sorry for himself, his concubine came in.
Seeing the two of them loving each other inside, she curled her lips.
At this time, Wang Zhongchen's son came out to see the madam. The madam looked at her coldly, who was almost like a concubine to her eldest daughter, so she had no choice but to go out to accompany her son.
This concubine was adopted not long ago. She was originally from Qingwan, a brothel, and she had a complete set of musical instruments, chess, calligraphy and paintings.
Seeing that this young Qingwan man who had just debuted had an extraordinary appearance, outstanding piano skills, and a voice like an oriole, he took action in time and took him into the room, so the pain increased.
The concubine did not disappoint him. She often displayed music, chess, calligraphy and painting in front of him, which became his pistachio.
At this time, the concubine played the song "A Laugh from the Sea" in front of him, which finally made him calm down, and he temporarily forgot about the mood that was disturbed by the white hair just now.
Seeing Wang Zhongchen's eyes widened, the concubine opened the "Da Song Zhong Hua Bao" and read it to him in a clear and delicate voice.
When he heard that Jintang County was hit by a flood that had never happened in a century, and even the county seat was submerged, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "I don't know how many people died?"
"What, no one died in such a huge flood? How is that possible?"
Wang Zhongchen put down his teacup and stood up in disbelief.
He looked at his concubine and wanted very much to snatch the newspaper and read it himself.
Seeing his concubine reading the newspaper with gusto, he finally gave up the idea.
After all, it is indeed a pleasure to listen to the concubine's voice as delicate as an oriole.
It turned out that they dispatched a security group and an army to protect the river. Unfortunately, the security group and the army to protect the river were also human beings.
Zhao Ping actually used the precious lives of the Sichuan Guards and Security Corps soldiers to save those lowly lives?
He felt incredible. After all, in the eyes of the barbarians, the lives of people who can make meritorious deeds are definitely worth more than the lives of people who cannot make meritorious deeds.
But the matter in Jintang County was not completed yet, and his concubine continued to read.
Wang Zhongchen enjoyed his concubine's beautiful voice while drinking tea.
"What? Jintang County actually built six bridges in one month. It's impossible. Even wooden bridges can't be repaired in one month. Is it a rope bridge?"
When the concubine heard what he was asking, she looked at the newspaper again and again and said, "But it said this is a fairy cement bridge, and its effect is almost the same as a stone bridge. Officer, what is a fairy cement bridge?"
Wang Zhongchen had never heard about the Immortal Cement Bridge, so he only answered vaguely: "Since it is similar to the stone bridge, then it is similar."
Speaking of this, he suddenly had a strong idea. He wanted to see what kind of bridge this was. It could be built in just one month. He was even more worried that if the bridge was built so fast, there might be no problems.
"What, Jintang County still has gardens built by the government? There are not only yellow orchids, roses, roses, and lotuses, but also crabapples, orchids, daffodils, azaleas, camellias, and even the queen of flowers, peony and peony. And Do locals still watch for free?”
They Hu people only have private gardens, and have never heard of the government building gardens.
The key is that this garden has become a hundred gardens, with not only yellow orchids and camellias that they don't have here, but also the queen of flowers, peonies and peonies.
What, Zhao Ping actually reduced the population of Jintang County from less than a thousand to nearly 30,000 in just one month?
At this time, he could no longer remain calm. He suddenly stood up from the coffee table and fell into deep thought.
The concubine was thinking about it, and suddenly she raised her head and asked eagerly: "Sir, I heard that Jintang County is a paradise on earth, let's go and have a look, okay?"
