Chapter 1002

"What does it mean?" Wang Yang couldn't help but be stunned, looked at Gao Qiu in front of him, and after a long time he realized. "You mean, are there people who want to migrate to us?"

"Yes, some people on Shaanxi Road want to move their families. After the officials inquired, they realized that most of them were fellow vendors. Now those Yanzhou is doing business in full swing. They also learned that the wing troops who were migrating before could obtain free land, houses and production equipment in these three states, and they were also thinking about it..."

The result was that those vendors went back to celebrate the New Year and talked about the prosperity and immigration policies of the three states today, which really made many villagers and relatives who had lost their land or were too poor.

However, they were not the Xiang army, and they did not know what kind of preferential migration policies could be, so they asked familiar vendors to inquire about the policies in Yanzhou. Naturally, these actions were quickly passed on to Gao Qiu, the governor of Yanzhou.

Gao Qiu was both surprised and caught him off guard. After all, in addition to having policy preferential treatment for the migrant soldiers, the preferential policies for the people from other parts of the Song Dynasty to migrate to these six states have not been formulated.

Therefore, Gao Qiu decided to go to Hongzhou in person to have an idea with Wang Yang, the new Shaanxi North Road Strait Strategy and Pacifier.

Wang Yang himself couldn't help feeling a little sad. "This is a good thing, but... if it is handled according to the migration policy of the Xiang army, then this matter would be too much. After all, the migration policies of the Xiang army are the will of the court, and with the will of His Majesty, there is such a great policy preferential treatment."

"If we use such a policy on other people who are willing to migrate to the six states, I am worried that something will happen..."

Gao Qiu asked in surprise. "Sir, what can happen to this problem?"

"If those people, if they can see them, they can reach our six states, and the government will not only give them houses, but also give them land and various production and living materials, haha... Then I dare to conclude that at least the states near Shaanxi North Road will definitely have a large number of people rushing over."

"At that time, not only will we be unable to deal with it, but local officials who have lost the people will definitely not sit still and wait for death. They will definitely write to the court to impeach us..."

"At that time, perhaps our strategy to benefit the people will be the source of disputes between court and local officials."

After listening to Wang Yang's explanation and analysis, Gao Qiu couldn't help but agree and nodded repeatedly, but he still felt unwilling to accept it. "It's a pity, after all, the population of our North Shaanxi Road is now gone except for those wing soldiers and their families. In comparison, the population is too small..."

"Not to mention the Jiangnan area, even if it is compared with Lingnan Road, it is probably worse than that..."

What Wang Yang said made him feel silenced. Yes, you should know that in the areas of the Song Dynasty, a state with a population of at least 400,000 or 500,000 people. Even even a lower-class state can have a population of at least 300,000.

The six prefectures on the north road of Shaanxi are not six counties, but the total population is only 450,000, of which more than 300,000 are all migrated.

If it weren't for the emperor's approval that the soldiers and their families had moved in, then these three states would be speechless.

Originally, after the three prefectures of Yan, You and Hong were occupied by the Song Dynasty, although a considerable part of the population had fled, some of the people remained before they could evacuate.

The total population is nearly 160,000, but among the 160,000 people, only 20% are Han people, the remaining more than 110,000 are Dangxiang people, and some are Tubo people. After that, the Xiang army migrated about 350,000.

However, after the war between the two sides began, the people of Dangxiang were all thinking about it, and local officials from all over the Song Dynasty adopted not only acquiescent, but even a condonistic attitude.

After all, for the three prefectures of the Song Dynasty, these Dangxiang people were definitely unstable bombs, and no one knew when they would explode.

Also, during the Battle of Yuzhou, Wang Daguanren personally took action and drove all the Dangxiang people out of the city. Naturally, after the Dangxiang people were taken over by the Xixia army, they had already returned to the territory of the Xixia.

So, when the war ended, the people of Dangxiang who were still in these three states were no more than 100,000 people of Dangxiang were left, and the people of Dangxiang were only less than 20,000.

As for the other three states newly occupied by the Song Dynasty, after difficult negotiations, the Dangxiang and Tubo people in the three states allowed them to migrate freely, leaving only less than 40,000 Han people.

Even if there are more migrant populations of 350,000, the total population of these six states is only more than 400,000. Even if it is spread, the three states of Yan, You and Hong are less than 150,000. Not to mention the three states of Yin, Long and Shi are now almost empty.

It was so sparsely populated, so Wang Yang had already reported to the court again that he could migrate another 120,000 xiang army and his relatives. However, this was the emperor's greatest effort. The 120,000 xiang army and his relatives had only a population of 600,000.

But the problem is that if the population of 600,000 is to let them concentrate from the Song Dynasty to the North Road in Shaanxi, it is definitely not a small matter. The cost of the whole journey is just a considerable expense.

Not to mention that it requires the care of local governments, and the manpower and material resources they have to consume are extremely amazing. If the official Wang had not sold a large amount of barren land and obtained millions of chunks, I was afraid he would have been unable to hold on.

However, even if these populations are added, they can only be considered as the basis at most. But now it seems that with the rapid development of economic and trade in the three states of Yan, You and Hong, such a small population is really difficult to meet the demand.

There has been a clear shortage of labor in the three states, including the textile industry, the planting industry, the Yan, the You and the Hong. You must know that the deserted fields in Yanzhou have just been sold to grow cotton and open factories. If it is fully promoted in the three states.

The labor needs are probably more than tripled, not to mention the nine-tenth empty silver, dragon and stone provinces, which will also have related industry and agriculture.

"In the six states, my minimum expected goal is that each state can have at least nearly ten to fifty thousand labor force, that is, the population of each state is at least 300,000. In the six states, that is, the population is 1.8 million..."

"But now, what the court can give us, including the original one, is less than one million, and there is still a gap of eight or nine hundred thousand people." Wang Yang looked through the information in front of him and felt so sad.

If you want to develop these six states, the economy needs to take off and industry and agriculture need to develop, but the basis of all this is population. Industry and commerce requires people, planting cotton, reclaiming land, opening factories, and population is needed everywhere.

Before, the old driver Wan Bin had complained to him several times, hoping that the subsequent wing army and his family could migrate as soon as possible so that he could open more factories and plant more cotton as soon as possible.

"But sir, we can't just watch it. After all, if our North Shaanxi Road wants to develop vigorously and become a major land in the northwest of our Song Dynasty in the future, this population is the top priority." Gao Qiu stared at Wang Yang and said with his eyes close to him.
