Chapter 415 Layout Central Plains
Since this period of time, some people in the middle class in Fujian have panicked. It's just that there is no high-level power to integrate, and the power of these middle and lower landlords is too scattered, and there is no trouble for a while.

However, Wang Xuan had to be vigilant. After all, in addition to the 120 million mu controlled by Wang Xuan and the more than 100 million mu controlled by the forty or so families who are committed to him, most of the land in Fujian is still In the hands of small and medium landlords, the number is only scattered.

So after the recruitment of troops was full, Wang Xuan did not continue to search for the local green certificates. If it goes on like this, big trouble will happen.

After all, if the land rent is lowered a little bit, these middle-level people will lose [-]%, but it is still within the tolerable range. If it continues, it will shake their foundation. There is a saying that boiling frogs in warm water is too easy to cut them all at once. Something big happened.

But he still lacks labor here, so he had no choice but to set his sights on the three northern regions, Shaanxi, Gansu, Yansui, Ningxia and other regions. The soil erosion there is serious, the land is severely scarce and barren, and it is the life of the entire Ming Dynasty. One of the most difficult places.

Or the Liaodong generation, which was even worse than Sanbian, also attracted Wang Xuan's attention.

There is no way, there is a shortage of people!

But migrating people from the inland is not that simple. Three to 500 people are easy to say, and a thousand people is not a big problem, but once it exceeds 10, it will be difficult. At present, Wang Xuan still needs at least tens of thousands of green certificates. There may be more than [-] people, among other things, just the fact that so many people pass by from all over the place can attract the attention of the locals.

In this way, they can only be transported in batches, and sea and land are the safest and safest way.

Stressed by the latest version of the map drawn by someone, Wang Xuan's gaze moved along the coastline a little bit, and finally settled on Huai'an Mansion in South Zhili.

In the northeast of Huai'an Prefecture, it is conveniently located in today's Lianyungang generation. There is a Yellow River estuary there (the Yellow River estuary in the late Ming Dynasty is different from modern times, after several diversions). If a receiving point can be established there, it is basically possible to communicate and integrate the upper reaches of the Yellow River. , including the population collected in Henan and Shaanxi, can go all the way to the sea along the river.

It is the most convenient way to transport food, fodder or population.

After confirming the rough action plan, Wang Xuan looked up at the people below, "You Yongnan."

"Your subordinate is here!" You Yongnan stood up directly and saluted respectfully. He was the deputy head of the Whale Gang elected by Wang Xuan back then, and later he also worked as a thousand households in the Weisuo. He is currently working in Xinghua Mansion.

"You take your troops to station here." Wang Xuan pointed to a large island near the mainland on the map, "I want you to build a base here, and at the same time, choose a place near the exit of the Yellow River to set up a camp."

"Subordinates obey."

"Remember, you can only use the banner of pirates when you get there, but..." Wang Xuan's eyes sharpened sharply, "Pirates are publicized to the outside world, but to the inside, you are still my soldiers, and you must observe military discipline. You understand!"

"Please rest assured, Lord!" You Yongnan has trained in the army for four years, and he is no longer the gangster of the past, and now he knelt on one knee and agreed neatly.

"Well, it's good for you to understand. Your task over there is to receive the population, gather a certain amount and transport them back with a large ship. You can decide for yourself whether 500 people leave or 1000 people leave, but no more than [-] people are allowed. There's chaos on one side."

"In addition, in order to ensure safety, you can also attack a certain range of nearby villages in the name of pirates, and try to drive out a safe passage and safe area. take note of it."

"Your subordinates, please remember the Lord's command."

"En." Wang Xuan nodded, and looked at Lin Zhennan for the second time, "Lin Zhennan, take people to Luoyang where your father-in-law is, and you can set up strongholds in various parts of Henan to collect people. There are many people who can't eat there. Go forward along the Yellow River, take the Tongji Canal, and send people to You Yongnan's camp."

"Your subordinate understands, please rest assured, Lord." Although Lin Zhennan is not good at martial arts, he is very proficient in dealing with people and has a wide range of friends, which is just right for this kind of thing.

"Well, on this point, I don't worry about you. However, it is inevitable to encounter some difficult people. The so-called King of Hades is better than a little ghost. It is best to bribe those guys. If someone speaks loudly, then don't be merciful. Regarding the matter of force You don't need to find your father-in-law, I will arrange someone to help you indiscriminately, and there will be troubles for you."

"Thank you, Lord, I'm fine with this, some people are too greedy and can't get enough."

"Indiscriminate, arrange Yun Haokai, Luo Xuezhen and other eight people, and each of them will bring a dozen men to Henan, whether it is to subdue those green forest cottages, or build it yourself, anyway, if you want to ensure the safety of this transport route, who will take it?" If you dare to make waves on this line, don't hesitate to kill them directly."

"Anyone is absolutely not allowed to delay the enjoyment of the population migration plan."

"Understood, don't worry."

Wang Xuan turned his gaze to Zhu Jiayan again, "Zhu Jiayan, you have been with me for the longest time, and you have learned a lot. This time I am sending you to Yangzhou in South Zhili. Your identity is a businessman, mainly doing business. For the grain business, in Yangzhou, you can go to Tang Minxue and ask him to introduce you to some contacts and purchase grain."

"Yangzhou is, after all, an important node on the canal. There is plenty of food there. After the purchase, it will be quietly transported to You Yongnan and Lin Zhennan, so as to ensure the supply of food and other daily necessities in the process of population transportation."

Zhu Jiayan stood up excitedly. A few years ago, he was still a rascal who wandered the streets. Who would have thought that he is now a well-known figure, but he has been managing the "white society" in Fuzhou Prefecture to maintain Law and order, and now, the law and order in Fuzhou is very good, and the role of the "white society" is getting lower and lower. He gradually feels that he has left Wang Xuan's core team. He has been worrying about this for the past few months. Unexpectedly, Now is your chance.

After being sent out, he will be the person in charge. This is an opportunity, an opportunity to show his abilities. As long as he does well in this matter, Wang Xuan will definitely give him more room for development in the future.

"My lord, don't worry, my subordinates will definitely manage it beautifully."

"At the same time, Lin Zhennan, your Fuwei Escort Bureau will also help Zhu Jiayan in Nanzhili. In addition, you can also set up a rudder along the Yellow River. It doesn't matter what the bodyguards are. The main thing is to gather the population." Wang Xuan looked from the faces of the three people. Skip it, and finally said in a deep voice: "The matter of gathering the population is very important. It is still in the exploratory stage. In the future, I need millions of people. Your task is very heavy, so be careful."

"The first priority is to transport the population. If you cannot make a decision, the three of you will take Lin Zhennan's opinion as the standard."

The three looked at each other, and finally said in a deep voice: "Your subordinate obeys."

Among the three, Wang Xuan valued Lin Zhennan the most. After all, he used to be an independent Escort, and his ability was unquestionable. It was just that his force failed to keep up with the catastrophe. Now, with Wang Xuan behind him, I believe he can Faster and more stable development.

In ancient society, communication was extremely inconvenient, and this kind of thing could only be handed over to them to preside independently. The development depends entirely on Lin Zhennan's ability to follow people.

The team that set out this time was very large, not only the 1700 soldiers led by You Yongnan, but also a large number of men led by Lin Zhennan and others. In addition, there were also some workers. The whole team was close to more than [-] people. Headed north.

This was Wang Xuan's first nail in the north.

As for the future, he is not that far away now.

……

Fuzhou Mansion, Wang Xuan's mansion outside the city, only Wang Xuan and Governor Li Shantang were sitting opposite each other in the study, and they were sipping tea slowly.

"Since Xiao Daheng became an official in the 36th year of Wanli, the minister of the Ministry of War has been changing constantly. This time, due to the establishment of the Liaodong Jurchens, the minister of the Ministry of War will be dismissed again." Li Shantang put down his teacup and said slowly.

Ever since Wang Xuan mentioned the matter of letting Li Shantang return to the capital again, he himself has been paying attention, and has been entrusting people to pay attention to the affairs of the court.

Now he is already a big official of one side of the frontier. If he returns to Beijing, he must at least be a minister. Otherwise, it does not mean being demoted. Of course, the old man is also allowed, but he himself does not give any hope.

Among the six departments, the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households have too much power, and they cannot turn to him anyway.

Of course, he didn't dare to do it himself. If he didn't do it well, he would be attacked by a crowd, and it would be bad if he didn't do it at the end of the festival.

And the Ministry of Industry can reap a lot of benefits from various projects every year, and this kind of fat difference probably won't fall to him, a person from Shaanxi. of.

The rest is the Ministry of Throat Rituals and the Ministry of War.

As for the Ministry of Rites... Don't say whether he wants to go or not, Wang Xuan will not agree to pay for it. That thing is really useless. In fact, the only option he can choose is the Ministry of War.

This Ministry of War is a hot potato. After all, after the Wanli Three Great Conquests, the Ming Dynasty has always been at a disadvantage in foreign wars. Whether it is against the Tatars, Wacha, or the Jurchen, there is basically no victory.

Therefore, the position of the Ministry of War has not been valued by the major families in the south of the Yangtze River. However, Li Shantang, who knows Wang Xuan well, knows that Wang Xuan must be very concerned about the position of Minister of the Ministry of War. If he can get Wang Xuan's support, he may not be in the Ministry of War. Can't sit still in position.

Although Wang Xuan's forces are all on the southern coast, at least Wang Xuan has the ability to make a group of soldiers better.

Moreover, Wang Xuan had to make the final decision on this matter. After all, it was also a Shangshu, and it would take a lot of money to establish relationships if he wanted to win it. He would not pay for it himself.
