Chapter 280: Pre-Immigration ......
The Immigration Bureau was specially set up by Li Shimin, and the director was concurrently served by Prime Minister Fang Xuanling, and the actual person in charge was Li Zhen.
There are only two roles of the Immigration Department, the first is the early role, which is responsible for the relocation and resettlement of immigrants, and the second role is the later role, that is, management, and all the officials of the colony except the Governor are drawn from the Immigration Department.
The Immigration Department also has the right to supervise and evaluate colonial officials in the colony itself, and once an official is not qualified, the Immigration Department has the right to suspend him from his post, and then report to the imperial court, and he can be completely dismissed.
It can be said that the current immigration bureau is the future colonial administration, and the appointment of colonial officials not only requires the approval of the imperial court, but also the assessment of the immigration bureau is also a hurdle that cannot be bypassed, otherwise sending an official who does not understand the situation at all in the past will not only be a harm to him, but more importantly, it may also affect the people under his jurisdiction.
"Your Highness, we already have 20,000 people."
Liu Renliang urged: "Now the city is very chaotic, there has been a smashing, looting and burning incident, Nanhai County is about to cry to death, once there are too many people, it is really a great challenge for public security, if you don't plan to move them over now, then you have to at least think of a solution to the current situation, right?"
” Li Zhen stopped the pen in his hand and raised his head, this is indeed a troublesome matter, and said, "Yes, that's it......
You have ordered people to build a temporary camp outside the city, and people who want to emigrate abroad must live there, and in addition, be kind to these people, and be polite in your mouth, of course, if the immigrants take the initiative to cause trouble, you don't have to be polite. ” Since they dare to immigrate overseas, they naturally can't survive, and if they stimulate their fragile self-esteem at this time, something big will definitely happen.
"Yes, His Highness is thoughtful and his subordinates admire."
"Alright, let's go down if it's okay."
"Yes, the subordinates retired."
Under the strong executive ability of the imperial court, the immigration camp was quickly built, and under the guidance of the government, the immigrants quickly moved into the immigration camp.
However, for the imperial court's arrangement, many people also muttered in their hearts, so many people have already gathered, why didn't the imperial court transport themselves away?
"Boss, what do you mean, this court?"
In a corner of the immigration camp, a skinny monkey-like young man was asking a person dressed as a scholar, saying that he was dressed as a scholar, but his face was full of flesh and beard, like a bandit and more like a student, and it was estimated that this set of clothes was not obtained by serious means.
"What do you mean?"
The cross-meat scholar glanced at him and warned, "Monkey, you can't have itchy hands again, right?"
I'm telling you, we are fugitives now, and we are about to get rid of our former identities, this is our only and best way to survive, at this time, if you dare to do it again, without the government's hands, Lao Tzu will kill you first. ” Obviously, the group of people in front of them are not good people, on the contrary, they are still wanted criminals by the imperial court, they plan to change their status through immigration, wash away their sins, as for whether they will commit it again after arriving in Borneo, that is a matter for the future.
The monkey was startled by the cold eyes of the cross-meat scholar, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, big brother, you misunderstood, I don't have itchy hands, I mean, more than 20,000 immigrants have gathered here, but the court still hasn't sent us over, what are you going to do?"
It's not just an excuse to arrest us, right?
” "Cut, Hou Wang, who do you think you are?
You think too much of yourself, don't you?
The third and last person, a man dressed as a farmer, couldn't help but sneer when he heard this: "You are just a little thief, do you think the court will make such a big battle in order to arrest you?"
What kind of thing are you?
Don't say you're a thief, even if it's a murderer, the court won't use this trick. ” "Like, what are you?
Do you really think that the credibility of the imperial court will be so squandered?
The horizontal meat scholar said coldly, don't look at his face full of meat, but he is indeed a reader who has read books, and his grades are not bad, just because his appearance is too terrifying, people who see him will subconsciously think that he is a good person, so let alone show talent, he has not even passed the Tongsheng test, and no one even recommended him to take the test to gain fame.
However, he is a man who has read books after all, and he is quite sensible, and if he had not been exploited too much by the landlords in the countryside, he would not have embarked on the road of crime.
Because he has read the book, he understands very well what is most needed as a court, which is neither the will of the people, nor the peace of the country, but the credibility, which is the most important thing - the people's will can be re-cultivated if it is lost, but once the credibility is lost, it can never come back.
No matter how much an imperial court wins the hearts of the people, once it loses its credibility and the people lose trust in the imperial court, then the imperial court will eventually decline.
On the contrary, no matter how much an imperial court loses the support of the people, as long as it builds up its credibility, does what it says, and can perfectly implement the policies issued, then the people's will will eventually gather together slowly - although in many cases, such a court is basically overthrown before the people's will can be reunited.
"Hey, too."
Hou Wang laughed dryly, he also knew that this was impossible, but he just had nothing to say: "But you say, why did the government gather so many people?"
20,000 people is already a lot, right?
” "What's so strange about that?"
Hengrou Scholar said: "Didn't you listen to the notice?
The government needed 200,000 immigrants in the first phase, but now it is only 20,000, which is of course not enough......
According to my estimate, the imperial court should have planned to gather enough 30,000 people to transport a batch of them. ” "If that's the case, then we'll have to prepare."
The farmer dressed up humanely: "In the past few days, more and more immigrants have been sent, and today more than 2,000 have been sent, which means that we should be able to leave in three days at most......
Everyone quickly packed their things, and we were ready to go in two days. ” "Hehe, what do we have to prepare?"
Hou Wang smiled bitterly: "When we left home, we didn't bring anything, even this piece of clothing was stolen, what else do we have?"
” "I'm not talking about this...... farmer looked around, and said, "It's strange because we didn't bring anything, you look around, everyone else has more or less brought something, at least they all brought a burden and mining tools, just the three of us empty-handed, this is not to think about it is to tell others that the three of us have a problem." ” "yes, that's a problem."
The farmer didn't say it, and the scholar didn't think it was strange, but now that he thought about it, everyone else had brought salutes and tools, but he didn't have anything, wasn't this just a clear way to tell others that he had a problem?
"It just so happens that we have made a little money carrying bags on the dock in the past two days, and everyone has at least bought their outfits."

Because they are fugitives, they have already spent the little money they brought when they left home, and they don't dare to deal with the government, so they don't follow the path of the government at all, so naturally they can't eat the government's supplies.
After arriving in Yuezhou, the three brothers finally found a way to make money, that is, to help people carry bags on the dock, and it is not a problem to earn seventy or eighty yuan a day if they do a good job, if they are not fugitives, maybe they will stay on the dock and not leave.
It's a pity that they are fugitives after all, and only by going to the new world can they get rid of this identity, and they can only be hunted down on the mainland, and the new world is a new starting point for their lives.
Hou Wang hesitated: "But we made so much money, and when we got there, ......"
"Didn't you read the notice?
Borneo is a barren place, with nothing but rainforests and no money.
The farmer explained, "It's better to exchange some of our mainland's specialties here, and maybe you can trade something with the natives over there." ” "That's right, the main thing is that I've never made so much money, and I'm a little reluctant for a while."
Hou Wang smiled a little embarrassedly, and touched his pocket cherishedly, which contained his hard work these days, more than 200 yuan, God is pitiful, when has he ever seen so much money?
Even when selling grain every year, it is rare to take more than 100 wen at a time, and these 200 wen are enough for their family of ten to eat for several months.
The scholar stood up and said: "The second brother is right, let's hurry up and buy some things, hoes, rakes, axes, seeds and local products, we have to buy some, these second children will go with me, and there is also the third child, you go to buy some clothes for the ceremony, remember not to buy new ones, there are tattered clothes in the pawnshop, as long as you can wear them." ” "Alright, then we'll split up and meet here in an hour."
"That's ......"
There are many similar conversations in this huge gathering area, and among the more than 20,000 people, many of them are fugitives, not only scholars, who see opportunities, but also many people of insight - in fact, those who can be fugitives but will not be caught by the government will not be stupid themselves.
The scholars saw the opportunity here, and they could naturally see it, coupled with the lax management of the immigration area, there were a large number of fugitives who mixed in with the immigrants, intending to change their fate through this immigration.
For such people, in fact, the court is not unaware, but these fugitives do this, but it is exactly in line with the court's mind - you must know that no matter when, the first pioneers of immigration are prisoners, such as Australia in later generations, and even known as a country established by prisoners and female cousins, because after John Bull discovered here, he regarded this place as a penal colony for prisoners, from January 18, 1788, Captain Philip led a warship to escort more than 700 prisoners to this barren land, On November 26, the first British exiled prisoners arrived in Sydney Bay, and the British began to establish a colony in Australia, which was later designated as Australia National Day.
Over the next 80 years, 160,000 British prisoners were exiled to the country, and Australia was nicknamed the country created by prisoners.
The same is true of the Chinese nation, not only after Li Zhen came to the Tang Dynasty, in fact, there were immigrants in all dynasties, and most of these immigrants were prisoners, and even in the Song Dynasty, they also specially assassinated the prisoners and filled the army, and the status of the soldiers in the Song Dynasty was not high, and they were even called thieves with the army not only because of the emphasis on literature and light on military force, but also for this reason.
In the ancient rulers, these prisoners themselves were scum, and they were not worthy of living in this world, but now the court has opened up the net, spared their lives, and given them a chance to live, which is already a great kindness, and these scum should be grateful to Dade.
And for these prisoners, it is already a blessing to be alive after committing a crime, where is there still a choice?
What's more, if they can make a little contribution to this country, it is not in vain for them to walk in this world.
After Li Zhen's arrival, this system was not changed, and when the Turks were just conquered, the imperial court urgently needed population immigration to fill the empty grasslands, and a large number of prisoners were gathered from all over the Tang Dynasty and became the first pioneers of the Tang Dynasty's development of the grasslands......
Of course, later, after the Liyu Division was established by Li Shimin, the good days of these prisoners came to an end - originally when the prisoners could not only 'travel for free', but also distribute everything, whether it was land or tools, except that the living conditions were a little colder and the freedom was a little worse, in fact, the small life was much better than that of ordinary people.
But since the construction of the Liyu Division, the prisoners have been poured into eight lifetimes of blood mold, not only are they no longer in the good old days (mainly because the people know the benefits of immigration, and they are very much looking forward to immigration, and the imperial court no longer needs prisoners to force immigration), but what is even more unfortunate is that once the crime is a little heavier, there is only one end - being demoted to slavery by the Liyu Division, thrown into a slave camp, and endless work waiting for him until he dies.
This is also the reason why there are so many fugitives, in fact, there are many fugitives whose culpability is not heavy, just like the scholars, Hou Wang stole the precious property of the local landlord, the scholar injured the landlord's two family members because of the competition with the landlord for food, and the farmer is also the reason.
It stands to reason that this is not a felony, and the heaviest one only requires two years in prison, and if it is voluntarily surrendered, the punishment may be reduced.
It's a pity that since Wang Tingchu went crazy looking for slaves and demoted a large number of felons to slaves, a large number of prisoners were thrown into slave camps and never came out......
Since then, as long as the prisoners commit a crime, their first reaction is definitely not to surrender, but to flee for their lives, as for whether they can escape, it will be said later, anyway, the worst result is to be recaptured and thrown into the subordinate division......
