Chapter 695 Migration

After watching the emperor sit firmly, everyone began to salute: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live."

The emperor waved his hand and signaled all the ministers to stand up: "They are all flat, everyone must be wondering why Yongxi County Lord will come to the morning court, this is what I specially asked for."

It turned out that I didn't want to come here, but the emperor found it. Everyone calmed down in an instant, and they looked at the emperor keenly. The emperor suddenly called the county magistrate, there must be something wrong.

The emperor looked at the crowd, but he didn't hide anything: "Isn't it because of the severe drought in Yucheng yesterday? Did you discuss it? The results from Qin Tianjian have come out. Yucheng will suffer continuous severe drought for at least three years and lack of water. , how to solve it?"

It turned out that the result came out? Some ministers have already understood that the emperor must have asked the county magistrate for a solution, but is the magistrate a woman really able to do it?

Xiaoman looked at the emperor and heard everyone start discussing, it was a bit annoying, since everything has been decided, let's just announce it directly.

These individuals have discussed for a long time without any results. The best solution is to find a place to receive the people of Yucheng, but I don't even think about it. Where can I put it? And the people of Yucheng, are they willing to disperse?

The emperor waved his hand to calm down the people below: "Okay, actually there is another thing I want to tell you today. When the side-by-side king and princess were playing in Fucheng, they accidentally took down the island opposite Xiacheng. The range is very large, even two or three people in Yucheng can fit it."

"So I decided to seal the island as the South Island, and make it the fief of the prince's son. Presumably, all the ministers have no objections?"

The side-by-side king and concubine have no fiefdoms. Does the son have to have fiefdoms now? Looking at the emperor: "Your Majesty, this side-by-side king hasn't granted the land yet? Is it going to pass over the prince and directly grant it to the prince?"

The emperor looked at the Taifu who spoke in surprise: "Taifu Lin doesn't know something. The side-by-side kings don't need fiefdoms. After they go out to play, they will live in the capital when they come back."

The meaning of these words is obvious, and others don't know how to interpret it. Could it be that the emperor is still guarding against the side-by-side king? For a while, the minds of all the ministers became active, but they were soon attracted by the imperial decree.

The imperial decree was already decided, and today I just took it out in public, read it once, praised Nan Nan, and then appointed Xiaoman as an imperial envoy to deliver the imperial decree.

Xiao Man knelt on the ground, received the imperial edict, then turned and left. She doesn't have any thoughts about the affairs of the court now, and she can't care so much, her thoughts are flying.

Everything was ready last night, now you only need to get the imperial decree and set off, Bai Zhen and Wan Yu are also ready, waiting at the gate of the prime minister's mansion.

Seeing the county lord coming back, he immediately greeted him: "County lord, can we go?"

Xiaoman nodded: "Of course it's possible, let's go now, I have already written to the princess, I think the princess will be happy to receive the news that we are going to go there."

Xiaoman was also very satisfied at the thought of meeting her sister, and the group prepared to set off. Not long after Xiaoman left here, Qian Jiujiu had already received the news from Xiaoying.

Qian Jiujiu looked at the news, the corner of his mouth twitched, and he looked at Mu Yexiao: "Here, you see. This emperor is really good at transferring. He gave the island to Nannan, and it is still the land of Dazhou. But we I have to help to the end, who will let it belong to my son! Both of you brothers are thieves."

Mu Yexiao was a little funny: "Isn't that good? I think it's pretty good. At least our son will have a place to stay in the future. It's good."

This is true, and Qian Jiujiu also agreed. Looking at the news above, if the people from Yucheng brought them here, it must not be too simple.

Taking out the note and writing a message to Dong Chen, Mu Yexiao was a little curious: "What do you want to tell Dong Chen?"

Speaking of which, he hadn't seen Dongchen for a long time, and this time Dongchen came, but handed over Hongling and the child to Xiaoman to bring them over, and Dongchen went to Yucheng by himself.

After Xiaoman left, the emperor called Dongchen out directly, and handed over the relocation of Yucheng to Dongchen: "General Dongchen, can you do it?"

Dongchen was speechless, the emperor said it in front of so many people, could it be possible that he could still refuse and could only nod his head to promise: "The final general will definitely complete the task."

Isn't it just helping the people in a city to move! If it doesn't work, try using force? Of course, this idea is just passing by in a flash, embarrassing the people, that's a bad idea.

But Dongchen was still very happy to see the prince this time. The emperor has ordered people to go down and prepare the food: "Okay, take the food this time and distribute it to those who are willing to move."

It was originally food for disaster relief, but now it has become food for food on the road. I don't know if the prince and princess have prepared food? Maybe send a message?

After being assigned a task by the emperor, Dongchen went directly to court, started to deal with these matters, dispatched troops, and then set off with food.

On the second day of departure, I saw the little eagle hovering in the sky, waving at the little eagle, and then the little eagle came down and stretched out the note on his feet, it turned out that it was the news from the prince.

The news said that this relocation should be based on lures, and it must not be forced. And their side is ready to accept these refugees.

Now that the rear area is well prepared, Dongchen felt relieved instantly, and continued to move forward with a large group of troops. This time, Dongchen brought 30,000 troops, because they only came out to help people migrate, not to fight, so the number not many.

But when such a huge army passed by, it still caused panic among many people, worried that the world that had just stabilized would be uneasy again.

After half a month of rushing, Dongchen finally arrived at Yucheng with his people, and when he entered the range of Yucheng, he found that the land here was very dry, and even the air was filled with hot and dry air.

You can still see some green on the ground now, but you can't see any vitality, just feeling sick. Dongchen frowned and went directly to Yucheng City.

From time to time along the way, I met some figures, digging for food on the ground. These people looked a little thin, but they hadn't reached the point where they couldn't survive. It seemed that the situation was much better.

Arriving in Yucheng soon, Lu You, the magistrate of Yucheng, had already brought people to greet him: "I have seen General Dong, how much food did General Dong bring?"

There is no way, the most lacking thing in the entire Yucheng is food. If the rent is exempted in Dazhou this year, these people can barely survive. If the rent is not exempted, it is estimated that some people will starve to death.

Dong Chen looked at Lu You: "Master Lu, you misunderstood, the food brought this time is not food for disaster relief, the emperor has a new order, and everyone camps outside the city, this general will go to the city with the adults, saying that the emperor's Order."

Lu You was very worried, these are all life, but the emperor sent someone to bring food, and said it was not disaster relief food? What exactly do you mean? Could it be that the emperor doesn't care about Yucheng? There are not many people in Yucheng, but there are hundreds of thousands of people, the emperor can't ignore it.

Dong Chen also looked at Lu You's worried expression, and couldn't help laughing: "Lord Lu, don't frown, this is a good thing, listen to me slowly."

As soon as Lu You heard that it was a good thing, he felt relieved: "The general should take a rest? Are we here to discuss?"

Dongchen shook his head and refused: "That's not necessary, the general is not tired, how about this, let's go back quickly, and then talk about the plan to relocate Yucheng."

The word "migration" scared Mr. Lu very much, but at this time, he didn't dare to ask. After finally returning to the prefect's mansion, he finally couldn't help but say: "General Dong, what is the migration you are talking about?" What's the meaning?"

Dong Chen was not sure whether these people were willing to leave, so he had to tell the truth: "It's like this, the emperor is very concerned about the affairs of Yucheng, and he even specially calculated the people of the Qin Tianjian, what is the drought in Yucheng? Time can pass, but the result can't be seen. I only know that for at least the next three years, the drought in Yucheng will continue, and it will become more and more serious."

Lu You's face turned pale, that is to say, if the people of Yucheng didn't migrate, staying here would only lead to death.

"The emperor wants to disperse the people and send them to other places, so that other cities can take over these people?"

Lu You is not worried about himself, he is an official everywhere, but so many people leave their homeland, this is not an ordinary big event. I don't know if those officials and local people are willing to take over?

If you go there, there is no way to compare with the local people. As the saying goes, people are cheap when they leave their hometown. Those who have money are fine, but those who don’t have money may not be able to afford the land.

Dongchen looked at Lu Ying with a smile: "So, this time, the people of Yucheng are very lucky. There is no need to separate, the prince and princess took an island, and now they are rewarded to the prince as a fief. The emperor ordered that the people of Yucheng Send all the people there."

"A whole island is two or three times larger than the combined area of ​​the entire city of Yu, and it can fit in. So don't worry about being separated, and besides the palace, the prestige of the prince and concubine is known to everyone, and it is absolutely impossible to treat the people badly. of."

Lu You became excited: "The general is serious? What about the dismissal? Did the emperor say how to arrange the dismissal?"

Being able to be under the command of the prince, and then being under the command of the prince, this is what many people dream of. Seeing Lu You's excitement, Dong Chen understood what the man in front of him was thinking, and couldn't help but laugh.

"You, after the people who want to sit in the town of Yucheng have migrated, we will be making arrangements then."

When Lu You heard this, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he understood that this matter cannot be forced: "Okay, the next official will issue a notice now, order this matter, and let the people prepare for the migration. .”
