Chapter 718 The Second Great Migration

“Who said no? Your Majesty has nothing to say to the people. We can only give him the greatest reward if we follow his will to the full. Besides, it’s not a loss! It says that you will be rewarded if you go! It’s so awesome!”

Soon a massive southern migration began. Some people couldn’t wait to leave here to go to the border, and some people had a deep attachment to their hometown. They wandered, hesitated, and couldn’t make up their minds.


After all, it is the place where they have been born and raised all of their lives. All of a sudden, they separated and lived in an unfamiliar environment. The language is not clear, let alone the key customs and habits. There are also dissatisfaction with the water and soil. Many problems need to be re-started. Great challenge.

Or Chen Chong said not to force them, everything is voluntary, it depends on whether you dare to take this step. However, Chen Chong still hopes that people can understand his painstaking efforts, and come to Xiangcheng to spend money early, and stabilize it is the best policy.

Most people didn’t let Chen Chong down. They packed the things at home and decided not to keep what they could take away. This is the biggest difference between southerners and northerners. Southerners are good at budgeting, while northerners are lavish.

So it directly led to the increasing wealth of southerners. The northerners often stayed in place. Everyone packed their things, and then some were carried by cattle, and some were pulled by horse carts. They set foot on the road to the border. Of-distance.

Young people are not very obvious, nor can they experience the feeling of nostalgia. The elderly are different, especially the grandparents in the village. They have lived in their hometown for most of their lives. There is also a small yard that I have worked so hard to build all my life.

Because there is their sweat and the experience they have struggled with, letting them give up all at once is tantamount to cutting a piece of raw meat on their bodies. It is really painful and blood dripping in their hearts. But there is no way. Because this is the general trend.

Niujia Village is a well-known rich village in the east of the Yangtze River. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers and is a typical land of fish and rice. However, in response to the call of the country, all the villagers migrated and none of them remained. This spirit had to move people.

The old couple Niu lived in the village all their lives. Aunt Niu looked at her yard to the left and right, with a nostalgic expression, as if there were gold and silver treasures buried in it. They didn’t move a step for a long time. Can’t wait, said:

“Old lady, go! The whole village is waiting!”

Aunt Niu cried and said:

“Can I take another look? Hurry up, this fate!”

The villagers all shed tears. Who would not understand this nostalgia for their hometown? There have been many large population migrations throughout the ages, all of them in all dynasties and generations, and they are all telling the hardships of their ancestors. Sing endless sad tears.

For a month since the call was issued, Chen Chong and his party have been waiting for people returning from the south at the intersection in Xiangcheng every day. Love.

After all, it is not easy for anyone to drag their homes from their hometowns all the way. Fortunately, the strong support of the country and the rewards of policies make them not so lonely and lonely. On the contrary, they all feel warm.

Chen Chong waits every day at the intersection every day for the common people from the south to welcome their arrival. The number of people varies every day. Chen Chong communicates with them one by one, and asks them warmly. It makes people feel moved and feel that they are born here. The times are really happy.

On this day, all the villagers of Niujia Village came to Xiangcheng. Chen Chong greeted each of them and said:

“Everyone has worked hard! I heard that you all left in response to the call and came to Xiangcheng to take root in Xiangcheng not far away. It is really touching! You are a role model for the Chinese.”

The villagers were very excited and knelt down and said:

Your Majesty, “We came here willingly. This is our obligatory responsibility. Although we are a little bit reluctant to our hometown, it is also worth it.”

Chen Chong ordered people to reward each household with five taels of silver per capita. Everyone was moved and thanked again. It took nearly a year before and after the second great migration, making Xiangcheng’s population break the 60,000 mark.



It actually surpassed the population of Pingcheng, and it also increased a part of it than expected, and achieved unexpected results. This cannot but be said to be a big breakthrough, and it also has a certain historical significance. This is the first time in all dynasties.

Southerners brought a lot of their own technology to Xiangcheng. They used their own advantages to flex their muscles in this land, relied on themselves, worked hard, and created one myth after another in just a few months.

Xiangcheng has risen rapidly under the leadership of everyone, and the economy has developed by leaps and bounds. There are many shops on both sides of the road, and many restaurants and inns have opened one after another, which has attracted a large number of businessmen to come to Xiangcheng for investment and sightseeing.

Animal husbandry and arable land have also made great progress, and the people’s pockets are also bulging. people,
