Chapter 143: Immigrant Wave(2/2)
For a time, the people of Sichuan were hotly discussed. Many people thought that the government had written thirty as 300, but when they went to the immigration registration office to ask, the answers they got were 300 acres.
In order to make the people believe, the Registration Office vigorously publicizes Zhao Yan's deeds, highlighting Zhao Yan's love for the people and the many advantages of keeping his promises.
Even the people of Sichuan who live a comfortable and leisurely life cannot resist the temptation and bring their family and property to ascend the throne.
With the cooperation of the government, Zhao Yan quickly formed an immigration boom in Sichuan.
The people who had been exploited by vassal kings and governments for a long time left their rented land and emigrated with the elderly and young. After Zhao Yan discovered that there was no difference in the atmosphere of Sichuan and later generations, he determined that this was an excellent immigration base.
Sichuan people have very good discipline and good character. During the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, more than 100,000 Sichuan people fought with their passion, and such a trend was very rare in other provinces in that era.
By moving these Sichuan people with a level of civilization to the top, they can completely occupy the colony.
Zhao Yan directly left the first shadow of the Liaodong Army infantry who was studying in Sichuan to escort the immigrants, and most of the literati among the generals were left in Sichuan, while he took 4,000 cavalrymen and walked to Shaanxi on the post road.
After half a month of march, Zhao Yan finally entered the Hanzhong area. As soon as he entered Hanzhong, he saw the once rich land. At this time, it was already ruined and hungry people were everywhere.
As soon as Zhao Yan arrived, a storm immediately broke out.
When the Hanzhong people heard that Zhao Yan was recruiting people to immigrate to Shandong, Liaodong and North Korea, they immediately followed him, just like the situation when Zhao Yan sent troops to Shaanxi in the ninth year.
After staying in Hanzhong for only ten days, Zhao Yan had recruited more than 100,000 people.
Soon Zhao Yan contacted Qin Zhiyuan. At this time, Qin Zhiyuan had been in Shaanxi for nearly half a month, and the recruitment situation was very ideal. In just half a month, nearly one million people were recruited from Xi'an, which was known as the 800-mile Qinchuan.
"Qin land is also a good immigration place!" Zhao Yan was both happy and sad. What was sad was that the former wealthy 800-li Qinchuan has now become a hell on earth. What is happy was that he was able to recruit many people in Shaanxi.
However, Zhao Yan's massive recruitment of the people deeply stimulated Chongzhen in the Forbidden City. However, Zhao Yan would definitely not give up on the two immigrant virgin lands, Sichuan and Shaanxi.
A storm is brewing in the noisy wave of immigration.
