The two hundred and fifty-ninth chapter iron fist suppression (six)
"Li Xun, what are your plans and plans for the resettlement of the people in Wuzhou? I asked Wu Heng several times, but he never gave me a complete answer. If you have not made arrangements, I suggest you
Divide some of these 100,000 people into Shazhou and Xiazhou."
When I arrived at the Governor's Mansion, I met Wang Renzhi. The latter took Li Xun and asked him repeatedly. Wang Renzhi was the person in charge of the migration. He had a heavy responsibility and a heavy burden. If anything happened, the imperial court would be the first to respond.
He is the one who is accountable.
"Chief Wang, don't worry. I have made all arrangements. Over in Wuzhou, I have planned 18,000 acres of land, enough to house 30,000 families. Some time ago, I purchased a large amount of supplies from merchants in the Western Regions. Now,
The grain reserve exceeds 50,000 dan and 2,000 cattle. There is no problem in settling these 100,000 people. As for Shazhou and Xiazhou, they have also begun to take action to plan land and reserve grain. However, these two states are too poor.
, lack of money and food, progress is relatively slow..."
Li Xun introduced his work situation in detail. While suppressing Wu Heng, his main purpose was indeed for stability, but there was another reason. The people from the Central Plains migrated to Wuzhou. Wu Heng was originally responsible for this matter.
Li Xun assisted from the side, but at this time, Wu Heng couldn't get out at all. Li Xun bypassed him and got the job done directly. This was a very big stain on Wu Heng's political performance.
It seems that he is very incompetent.
After listening to Li Xun's detailed report, Wang Renzhi nodded repeatedly with a smile on his face: "You have done a good job, and the matter is done well. I will definitely write to the court to ask for credit for you."
Li Xun smiled: "These are all false. Can Mr. Wang give me something practical?"
Wang Renzhi glanced at Li Xun and chuckled: "I only give credit to you. Isn't this considered a benefit?"
Li Xun laughed. Wang Renzhi was once the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall. His political wisdom was average. How could he hide his little thoughts from him?
Wang Renzhi said: "In this way, the materials from the imperial court will be shipped soon. I can give priority to Wuzhou and get 20,000 dan of food. What do you think?"
Li Xun said: "As for food, I'm not very short now. Can you give me something else?"
Wang Renzhi smiled and asked: "What do you want?"
"Can you give me some weapons and armor? I plan to select some people among the people who migrated from the Central Plains and implement a half-soldier, half-civilian system."
The first batch of supplies from the imperial court will be transported to Suzhou soon, and Wang Renzhi will make overall arrangements. This batch of supplies will definitely contain more than just food and money.
Wang Renzhi thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement: "I will give you five thousand sets of weapons and armor."
Li Xun was overjoyed, stood up, and bowed his hands: "Thank you, Mr. Chief."
Wang Renzhi smiled and waved his hand, gesturing for him to sit down. As for Li Xun, the status of the two of them was very different before. They were not the same people at all and had almost no communication. However, Li Xun's reputation and some actions in the capital still made Wang Renzhi aware of it.
He had heard about it, so at first, from the bottom of his heart, he didn't have a very good opinion of Li Xun. This was also an inherent thought and common problem for people from a distinguished family like them.
, the two immediately had more interactions, especially Li Xun's recent series of actions, which showed extraordinary talent and decisiveness, which immediately changed Wang Renzhi's impression of him greatly.
Wang Renzhi took a deep look and said softly: "It seems that this is the reason why you came to Suzhou this time."
Li Xun shook his head and said, "Not entirely."
Wang Renzhi looked at Li Xun quietly, waiting for his words.
Li Xun asked: "Master Wang, you are an old man and have served as a political prime minister. You have rich experience in governing. I have a question that I would like to ask you."
"But what about trading with Dashi?"
"That's exactly what happened."
Li Xun said: "Do you think this matter is good or bad?"
Wang Renzhi said quietly: "Whether it is good or bad, these are not important. What is important is whether it is good or bad for the court. If the court thinks it is profitable, even if it is not good, it can be turned into a good thing."
Li Xun's mind was slightly shaken. Jiang was indeed still old and hot. Wang Renzhi's very plain words pointed out the core of the whole matter.
Trading with Dashi is undoubtedly a good thing for Wuzhou and even Longyou as a whole, but what about the imperial court? As the center of the Jin Dynasty, the imperial court’s considerations cannot only be about the economy. Longyou’s strategic position is
It is the top priority. If this is threatened, anything can be given up.
Li Xun fell into deep thought. He now felt that he had thought of some things too simply and too beautifully.
Wang Renzhi glanced at Li Xun and said: "You have played a very good starting role in opening up trade with Dashi. If it can be done, the people of Longyou will benefit greatly from it."
Li Xun sighed for the rest of his life and said with some sadness: "I'm just afraid that the court won't agree."
Wang Renzhi smiled: "Don't think so much. All we can do now is wait and see. If Dashi is willing to take a step back and reduce the garrison in Xizhou, then that is what he means, and there will be more conflicts between the two countries."
We will wait for the news on the final decision of the court regarding the dialogue."
Li Xun nodded, somewhat understanding what Wang Renzhi meant. He had already made a condition, which was to reduce the garrison in Xizhou to ten thousand. If Dashi really did it, it would prove that they would fully open up trade with Jin Dynasty.
It's very interesting. When that time comes, it's not me who can participate in it, but a dialogue between two countries. There will definitely be other things involved in it. As for whether it succeeds in the end, it's not something I can do.
Right or left.
Wang Renzhi gave a final reminder: "The last time you summoned businessmen from the Western Regions to Wuzhou, some ministers in the court had already raised objections to you about this matter. You should think more about it in the future."
Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "I just want to do something practical, why is it so difficult?"
Wang Renzhi smiled. This topic was a bit sensitive and he didn't want to talk more, so he changed the topic.
The two talked about other things. When it came to Li Xiao and the suppression of bandits in Suzhou, he actually didn't do anything. However, afterwards, he took advantage of it and was promoted from captain to general. This was the result of Li Zhong's repeated suppression, while Wang Ren
In the application document for Li Xiao, Zircon directly asked for the hit general.
Li Xun sighed a little. Danqiu had been in the army for more than ten years and had made countless achievements, but he had only achieved the position of a fourth-grade general. But what about himself? How many achievements had he made? Now he has become a fourth-grade governor in charge of the military of a state.
