On the second day of the second month of the fourth year of Longdao.

Quancheng, Xu Shiyang's temporary residence.

After sending Zhang Mingyi on the boat back to Jiangnan, Xu Shiyang spread a piece of paper in his study and splashed ink with a brush:

First, we must survive, second, we must have food and clothing, and third, we must have development. If we have hindered our future, whether it is ancient or present, human or ghost, or the Three Tombs, Five Classics, Heavenly Flags and Rivers, Golden Man and Jade Buddha, Ancestral Pills and Secret Pastes, all of them fell to the ground.

"What is Daddy writing?"

Xu Shiyang's second son Xu Daixuan held his chin with both hands, lay on the edge of the table, and asked in a slight voice.

The eldest son of the sanctum, Xu Daizhuo, stood honestly next to Xu Shiyang's desk. Although he did not ask like his younger brother, the expression on his face still exposed his curiosity.

Xu Shiyang gently rubbed the little guy's head, read it to him, and then explained:

"Survival, eating and exercising, this is a nation, and it is actually a person's most basic need. You must remember that these three points are the core of the core. For these three points, we can make any attempt or abandon anything that hinders these three."

The little guys didn't understand, and Xu Shiyang didn't say anything more.

The children are still young and they don’t understand their father’s ideas, but it doesn’t matter, they will understand in the future.

"Daizhuo."

"Father."

"The school starts this year, so you can go to the Young Soldiers School." Xu Shiyang said: "The educational landscape and level over there are more consistent with the father's wishes."

After saying that, he pointed to the words on the table: "Bring this with you, and give you a gift to your Father."

Unlike another plane, the school season in Qi Province is in the spring. Xu Shiyang's eldest son Xu Daizhuo is 7 years old this year, which is exactly the age to enter school, so he needs his son to set an example.

In this regard, Zhao Shan originally wanted to hire a private school to teach at home, but was rejected by Xu Shiyang. He did not want his son to appear too special, which would be very unfavorable to the child's growth.

Therefore, Xu Shiyang chose military academy instead of high school.

Because the military academy belongs to the military system, the new army at this time does not look at the origin of the soldiers, but only the rank and ability.

Xu Daizhuo entered the military academy, and in the eyes of veteran instructors, he was just a little unusual student.

This is also Xu Shiyang's educational method. In fact, he had already planned to send all his children, regardless of legitimate or illegitimate, to the military school when he reached school age.

He even planned to regard this as a tradition in his family.

...

In February of the fourth year of Longdao, Xu Muhe, the former governor of Qi Province, established himself as king in Quancheng.

Well, it is actually a bit wrong to say this, because the King of Qi did not directly turn against the Zhou court. After all, the court had issued an order to grant two kings to Qi Province.

However, Xu Mujiang and Xu Shiyang gave up on being the king, but Xu Muhe, who was not qualified to be the king, was just the king.

To be honest, it doesn’t seem like a loss to the court to exchange for two kings…

What a weird thing!

In no matter who is in his eyes, this practice is declared that the local government in Qi Province will fight against the authority of the court.

Therefore, it is natural that the Great Zhou ordered all officials sent to Qi Province to withdraw from the sphere of influence of Qi Province before the end of February, and did not send officials to Qi Province to officially announce the recognition of the status of the King of Qi.

The court has clearly stated its attitude towards the King of Qi.

However, the attitude of the Great Zhou court cannot represent the attitude of the people, nor even the attitude of the officials of the Great Zhou itself.

Whether it is reluctant to leave his status in Jiangbei or greed for the stock dividends of Qisheng factories, although he received a retreat order, there are actually very few officials who have made up their minds to give up everything in Jiangbei and go back to Jiangnan with Zhang Mingyi.

From Zhang Mingyi to the military supervision of Qi Province to the present, the imperial court has sent more than 30 officials at all levels to Qi Province in the name of supervision, responsible for monitoring various places and troops in Qi Province.

There were less than 50 people who returned to Jiangnan after the retreat order.

What's more serious is that these small officials who returned home returned to Jiangnan with the profits of the Qisheng factory and the news that the Qiwang sold the factory equity to the outside world.

After some Jiangnan gentry who were more flexible and easy to accept new things learned about this news, they immediately sent their own nephews or trusted spokespersons to Qi Province to discuss specific matters about purchasing equity with the King of Qi.

Some of these people who came to Jiangbei were purely for money.

Qi Province communicates with various specialties from north to south, Qi Province, Liaodong and Goryeo can only be obtained through channels under the King of Qi. If you purchase equity in Qi Province's factory, at least there is no problem in making money.

It is better to be able to make money with money than to bury gold, silver and copper coins in a cellar.

As for the other part of the people, they are optimistic about the future of the Qi King regime.

They believed that the Qi army could defeat the Tartars and crawl all over the ground. They were located in Liaodong for several years and did not dare to enter the pass. Then the Zhou court might not have the ability to recover Jiangbei.

Even if the King of Qi cannot take over the whole world in the future, it is probably no problem to go to Dazhou to rule the river.

The ruler of the country won countless wins.

Many people understand this truth.

In addition to the gentry and landlords, the King of Qi also needed to increase efforts to attract immigrants from Jiangnan.

Because Jiangbei is ten! ten!!! ten!!! the population is short!

To attract Han people to live in the jurisdiction, it is much more important for the King of Qi than to absorb some money.

There is no shortage of population in Jiangnan. In the past, the fish and rice town was very prosperous. After the imperial court moved south, a large number of refugees from Jiangnan flocked to Jiangnan. Not to mention anything else, the Qi Palace estimated that there was still a population of 780 million in Jiangnan.

These populations are the treasures that the King of Qi most hopes to obtain from Jiangnan.

However, the King of Qi did not want to bear the reputation of buying and selling people, so immigrants must follow the principle of complete voluntary action.

If the lower-class refugees and tenants want to immigrate to the territory of King Qi, Qi Province will provide certain loans. If they have debts or crimes in Jiangnan, the King Qi will cooperate with the local gentry to negotiate with the creditors or the government.

King Qi will give creditors some economic compensation - capital and a small amount of interest, but don't think about profits, so as to redeem debts.

These debts will also be counted as immigrant loans and will be repaid year by year according to the loan interest rate stipulated by King Qi.

Although Jiangnan is prosperous, it has nothing to do with the common people. On the contrary, the cheap labor provided by a large number of refugees makes the lives of the lower class very difficult.

However, King Qi can provide a better environment and future, so Xu Shiyang hopes that in the past five years, he will attract an average of 50 to 1 million immigrants from Jiangnan every year and fill the tired Jiangbei land.

If this can be done, the Qi Palace will have sufficient strength to regain several other traditional Han provinces in Jiangbei - Henan Province, Jin Province, Shaanxi Province, etc., as well as the entire Liaodong.
