Chapter 848 Liao En

After Huang Lian was appointed, he ordered various places to dredge rivers;

County guards and county magistrates who can provide disaster relief and support the people should work hard to persuade and make their achievements successful;

The warehouses and treasury were sent to provide relief;

Water dominates the residential areas, and those who are unable to find jobs choose to live on higher ground, so that they have houses to avoid the water;

For those who cannot return from far away, officials will be sent to bring them grain.

The counties and counties that were irrigated were not taxed and responsibilities were waived, and the places where the refugees passed were not taxed;

The officials were given the land to guide them, and those who stopped were given residences, and those who traveled were given food. They were worried that they would have no land and would move far away, so they pretended to be official land and encouraged them to cultivate it;

He was afraid that he would kill the cow and eat it, so he used the cow privately and gave him money;

Those who abandoned men and women to the Tao adopted them; those who were strong but hungry recruited them.

There were 253,000 hungry people alive, and they worked hard to feed them, and another 27,000 people.

Zhao Xu originally just threw Huang Lian out with the attitude of getting rid of the unsavory people. As a result, Huang Lian made a clever move and arranged for the refugees to take in the bandits. When they arrived in Mizhou, the bandits on Jingdong Road were eliminated, and 40,000 of them were gathered under his command.

many!

Just as the rice transported by Zhang San arrived in Dengzhou, this group of people became a team transporting grain to various state capitals. Sitong agreed, and when the disaster relief was over, each person would receive two thousand yuan of resettlement allowance.

In December, when the final head count was made, there were over 30,000 people willing to go to Saigon!

I heard that rice is harvested three times a year there, roe deer are beaten with sticks and fish are scooped out with ladles, and pheasants fly into the rice pot. We don’t want to stay in this place where the Yellow River has been swaying for several years!

…

While Huang Lien and Sitong Company were providing disaster relief in Hebei, Suyou began the construction of Saigon City.

It doesn't matter whether Shen Kuo wants it or not. We can first get Jia Dan from the land of plenty.

Today's Saigon is still a swampland, with only a dry spot in the center where there is a small fishing village called Pluang Ko.

The name didn't sound like Song Dynasty at all, so Suyou changed it to Jiading.

In September of the 10th year of Xining, Su You and Jia Quan came to Jiading with a boatload of equipment.

Along with them came more than a thousand Fujian "bandits".

The name of the bandit leader is Liao En.

Liao En was originally a wealthy man from Jianzhou, south of Fujian Road. At that time, there was a group of thieves on Fujian Road called Wu Sun.

When Wu Sun was plundering Nanjianzhou, Liao En and his tribesman Liao Chengyu organized villagers to attack Wu Sun and put Wu Sun down.

Later, the officials of Nanjian Prefecture took away Liao En's merits and rewarded Liao En and his people regardless of their merits.

Not only that, but Liao En was also falsely accused of gathering a crowd to rebel.

Therefore, Liao En and others really gathered a crowd to rebel in May of the 10th year of Xining.

The magistrate of Nanjian Prefecture panicked and sent the capital inspector and the Nanjian Prefecture Salt Patrol envoy to lead the army to suppress it. As a result, they were severely defeated by Liao En, and his power became stronger and stronger.

In the end, Zhao Xu had to appoint Sun Neng, the newly promoted deputy envoy of Zuozangku, and Liu Shiheng, the governor of Shunzhou, to suppress it.

Sun Neng and Liu Shiheng took a schooner to Fujian and arrived in Fuzhou in only ten days.

Liao En was forced to move to Xinzhou at the border of Fujian and Zhejiang due to pressure from the government and army.

Xinzhou Lead Mountain Field was under Zeng Bu's jurisdiction. Zeng Bu organized workers and miners to defend him. In turn, together with Sun Neng and Liu Shiheng, he surrounded Liao En at the border of the two Zhejiang roads.

After surrounding Liao En, Sun Neng sent Liu Shiheng into Liao En's camp and persuaded him to surrender. Liao En was grateful for his kindness and accepted the offer.

Zhao Xu adopted the policy of recruiting Xiang troops that was common in the Song Dynasty, and ordered that bandits who were willing to go to Kaifeng could go to Kaifeng to eat the imperial food, and those who were unwilling to go to Kaifeng were left to their own devices.

Liao En wrote a letter saying that he had heard that young Su Shaobao was developing overseas and was willing to serve in front of the frontline and to serve his crime well.

Zhao Xu was very happy and granted Liao En the title of Right Ban, and his clansmen also received various awards.

Sun Neng and Liu Shiheng were promoted to official positions, and the magistrate of Nanjian Prefecture, the governor of the capital, and others were dismissed.

Throughout the history of the Song Dynasty, there were many "uprisings" and "rebellions" like this, but often when an official went to make a declaration, the team dispersed and it was time to go home and farm the land.

In Su You's eyes, Liao En's rebellion was similar to Guang Rui's rebellion. At first, it was more like a mass gathering to petition, and officials handled it like child's play, but it eventually led to a catastrophe.

Liao En and Liao Chengyu led more than a thousand "robbers" to pay homage: "The guilty ministers Liao En and Liao Chengyu, please see Shaobao."

Su You helped him up and said, "You were supposed to be a hero in suppressing the rebellion. The local officials were deceptive and extremely incompetent, which led to you making such a mistake. Your Majesty has pardoned your sins and given you an official position. I

There is only one sentence to explain, I hope you will remember it firmly."

Until now, no official has understood the injustice Liao En had suffered, and Su You directly admitted that the crime of the local magistrate of Nanjian Prefecture was the main cause of this incident.

Liao En was so moved that tears filled his eyes: "Young Master, please speak. I should keep this in mind."

Su You said: "Now that you have become an official, I hope you will keep in mind what you have experienced, and always warn yourself not to become the group of people you hate the most in the future."

Liao En nodded with red eyes: "Liao En will definitely live up to Duke Ming's teachings."

Su You nodded, let's go and see how your infrastructure is doing.

Jiading Village used to have only dozens of fishermen's sheds, and it was a temporary settlement for fishermen.

After the Song people arrived, the fishermen didn't know why and all ran away.

Liao En didn't care so much, he just leveled the dry land, built a house with bamboo walls, and then built a granary according to Su You's instructions.

The rice in the nearby city was so cheap that Su You's ship was also a merchant ship. He sold them a batch of weapons collected from Cochin, and exchanged them for hundreds of tons of grain.

The most abundant product in this area is bamboo, and Liao En led the tribesmen to cut down a lot of it as a material reserve.

Liao En has led troops, and his commanding ability is pretty good. He is also above the level of someone who can beat the army of a state in the Song Dynasty to a roar.

After checking around, Su You expressed satisfaction with the basic preparations and said to Jia Quan, "Jia Gong, how are you?"

Jia Gan smiled and said: "The conditions are better than those of the Liangzhe Road. This is a great place. And our ability now is much stronger than a few years ago."

Indeed, after years of development of Taihu Lake, today's swampland transformation projects have become routine. Countless experience accumulation has made Jia Quan a top water conservancy engineering expert in the subtropics.

Jia Quan opened the engineering drawing: "There are countless natural waterways in this area that can be used. We only need to use bamboo cages and install stones to block the waterways, and then we can carry out the Hong Kong project of excavating earth and building embankments. This is the first time after Shaobao resigned.

A new method developed by Taihu Lake based on the experience of Dujiangyan’s Chama and water-reducing embankments.”

Su You nodded and marveled: "Wonderful, this way, the project can be speeded up a lot."

Jia Quan said: "Can Shaobao continue to negotiate with the two countries so that we can buy more land?"

Su Youthi smiled and said: "Don't worry, someone will come to ask for you soon."

Today's Champa and Shuizhenla can be described as divided by heroes. After the king of Champa visited the south, he was no longer taken seriously by the princes. Now the effective ruling power is concentrated in the area of ​​​​the royal city and the three states outside the pass.

, Bintonglong, and the border areas of Shuizhenla in the south were all divided.

The same is true for Shuizhenla. The Angkor Dynasty in history has not yet been formed. Now there are dozens of large and small forces, each working in their own way.

Suyou sold a batch of weapons to local forces. According to historical experience, countless forces will soon come to seek support.

The strategy Wang Shao set for Su You was to attack close friends from far away, support the forces surrounding the colony, let them expand outward, and then exchange the land surrounding the colony to seek support from the Song Dynasty.

In this way, the Song Dynasty could exchange weapons for land, gradually expand its territory at the mouth of the peninsula to accommodate more immigrants, and finally form a powerful force.

So Su You and Jia Quan divided the work. Su You was responsible for building the trestle bridge, and Jia Quan was responsible for encircling the first circle of the port. The science and engineering team that came with them began to set up a waterwheel workshop to process bamboo and wood.

The trestle is located to the south of Jiading Village, in the same direction as the river, and extends for tens of meters. The height of the bridge piles is six meters.

Rails have been laid on the bridge and gantry cranes have been installed. According to Suyou's plan, after the port is completed, it will be able to berth large ships like the Taishan.

The location of Jiading Village is tens of kilometers within Haikou and is very little affected by the tide.

At the same time, Su You also wanted to enclose several small islands with dikes to form a safe harbor for seagoing ships to take shelter from the wind.

This facility is something that is not available in seaports today. Seaports around the world rely on natural terrain for shelter, such as Changguo County Islands and Mingzhou Xiangshan Islands.

The formation of Hangzhou Port and Mingzhou Port is also closely related to the existence of these islands. Sea-going ships naturally gathered around them to avoid the wind, and finally formed a port.
