Pingting (formerly Pingguo County)
Dozens of royal fleets are moored in the bay, and they are loading the people of Pingxiang on the boats, and then transporting them to Sanhan to open up wasteland.

Due to the collapse of the Zhang Bu regime, the Wang family could no longer obtain a large number of people from the Qingzhou area, so they turned to transporting away the people within their sphere of influence in Liaodong.

In the past ten years, more than 5 people have been transported away.

After suppressing all the rebellions in the country, the imperial court merged townships and counties among the thirteen prefectures in the world last year.

For example, the changes in Youzhou area are as follows:
[Bohai County is assigned to Jizhou, and several counties in the south of Zhuojun County are assigned to Jizhou]

[The county organization of Xuantu County, which only had Gaojuli County left, was abolished, and Xuantu County-Gaojuli County was changed to Jin County, which was then merged into Liaodong County and became the new government of Liaodong County. 】

[Liaoxi County takes the "Shanhai Pass" built by Wang Jiajian as the dividing line. 】

[Cancellation of Youbeiping County's prefecture-state establishment, and merging Youbeiping County into the new Liaoxi County. 】

[The administrative organization and county-level administrative units in the Huiracoon area of ​​Lelang County were abolished, and the local area was changed to Jimi rule, as long as the local aborigines paid tribute to the Han every year for local specialties. 】

The administrative unit changes in Liaodong are as follows:

[The Liaodong county government was moved from Xiangping County to Jin County (formerly Gaoguli County), and the government office was closer to Goguryeo. The governor could guard the gate of the county, and the prefect died of the country, so as to prevent Goguryeo from continuing to encroach on the south. 】

[Six counties of the eight counties in Western Liaoning that were merged into the Liaodong area will be merged into Huo County. These six counties are: Wencheng, Linyu, Liucheng, Yihe, Bincong, and Yangle. These six counties will be downgraded to Township, after the merger of Huo County, its administrative office was established in Wencheng Township. 】

[The other two counties in western Liaoning that will be merged into Liaodong County: Qili and Jiaoli, plus the four counties of the original Liaodong County: Wuli, Fangxian, Liaodu, and Xiandu, all six counties will be downgraded to townships, And merged into Tu County, the government was established in Qieli Township. 】

[The six counties of Jujiu, Xinchang, Xiangping, Liaoyang, Houcheng, and Gaoxian in the former Liaodong County were downgraded to townships and merged into Mu County, and the government office was established in Jujiu. 】

[The original six counties of Liaodong County: Wuci, Liaonan, Xi'anping, Fanhan, Wenxian, and Anshi were all downgraded to townships and merged into Shui County. 】

The reason for this division is that the whole court, from the emperor to the low-level officials, all believed in the mysterious prophecy, because the merged counties were named after the five elements, Taiji, gossip, and Zhouyi.

The original prophecy that "Liu Xiu is the Son of Heaven" has now become a reality. Under such circumstances, who can not believe in prophecy?
In order to save administrative costs, the Han Dynasty reduced many administrative units, abolished a large number of county officials, and reduced the size of the army. The imperial court called this policy "better soldiers and simpler administration".

With the changes in the administrative region of Liaodong County, the four major families also re-divided their spheres of influence.

The Wang family occupies Shui County, the Zhang family occupies Tu County, the Li family occupies Huo County, and the Lu family occupies Mu County.

In fact, Jin County, which is only one county in size and next to Goguryeo, has become a joint management area of ​​​​four families, or reserved for the imperial court.

The original Dashi County and Pingguo County were downgraded to townships during the Zhao Emperor period, and now they continue to be downgraded from townships to pavilions.

Although the actual area of ​​Liaodong County is larger than before, there are only five counties left after the merger.

Each family has its own sphere of influence, and can only merge land within its own sphere of influence, and cannot cross the border to other families' sphere of influence to merge local farmers.

The original population of Shui County was more than 20, and the total number reported to the court was 19. Therefore, there were [-] people in Shui County. Wang family.

Although Shui County is only a county, its actual area is equivalent to half the size of Qingzhou Governor's Department.

Among the six townships in Shui County, Liaonan Township could no longer find even a single owner farmer, all of them were tenant farmers of the Wang family.

In Fanhan Township and Xi'an Ping Township, nearly half of the land and owner farmers were annexed by the Wang family and became tenant farmers of the Wang family, and the remaining half of the owner farmers were also taxpayers of the Wang family.

Wen Township and Anshi Township are basically taxpayers of the Wang family. Only the poorest Wuci Township has a large number of self-cultivated farmers who pay taxes to the court, and Wuci Township is the seat of Shui County.

Of the 19 people controlled by the Wang family in Liaodong, more than 5 have been transported to the Sanhan area to open up wasteland in these years, and now there are more than 13 left.

"set sail!"

A girl in a sailor's dress is pulling the sails.

Her name is Mei Chaofeng, and she is Mei Shan's daughter. After Mei Shan settled down in Chang'e City, she married a nearby female pioneer and gave birth to a daughter. This daughter is Mei Chaofeng.

His daughter Mei Chaofeng was very talented in sailing, so she was selected by the Wang family to become an honorable sailor, responsible for the transportation of people between Liaodong and Sanhan.

It is still the old rule that only young people are transported, and all the old, weak, sick and disabled stay in Liaodong.

After all, the Wang family is not doing charity, and has no interest in wasting money to support a group of old people.

For these old people who cannot generate economic benefits for the Wang family, the Wang family's attitude towards them is to let them fend for themselves.

"I'm not on board, I'm not on board!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and a teenager was unwilling to leave his parents, who were getting old.

Tatata!
The royal family's private soldiers rode into the crowd on armored horses to maintain order.

"Those who resist, kill without mercy!"

The soldiers of the Wang family don't have any skills, just a simple sentence.

Fortunately, these people in Pingxiang are tenant farmers of the Wang family, so there are not many resisters, and most of them accept their fate obediently.

The process of relocating the tenant farmers in the Liaodong area to overseas land reclamation is as follows:
[First, artificially create a famine in the area where the taxpayers live, such as arranging rangers to set fire to all the grain fields of the common people, and then the four major families unite to block commercial trade and road traffic in Liaodong, and prohibit other areas from transporting grain for disaster relief. The people in the disaster area are forbidden to go to other places to seek livelihood, and they are forced to become disaster victims who can only be manipulated by the royal family.

Then use the vacated extra fields to lure those disaster victims who have not yet become tenant farmers, and let them go to the Wang family's reclamation area to become tenant farmers.

Finally, after they became tenant farmers, they were transported to Sanhan by boat to open up wasteland.

It should be noted that there should not be too many disaster victims each time. If there are too many, they will become refugees or even rebels. 】

However, the above process is too troublesome, and it is only carried out near Pingting. In Fanhan Township, the Wang family usually sends private soldiers disguised as bandits to rob people directly, forcibly take people away, and then transport them overseas to open up wasteland.

Not only robbing the population on their own territory, but also sometimes dispatching royal fleets disguised as pirates to rob the population of the coastal areas of Lelang County, and robbing the people of Lelang County to Chenhan area to open up wasteland.

The fleet began to sail south, and the Liaodong people on board did not know where they were going.
