The most important reason why officials and people fled Chongming is this ghost place is too unreliable. Maybe one day the home you have worked so hard to build and the crops you have planted will collapse into the ocean again.
Especially since the early years of Jiajing, the sands began to change frequently, and the islands were divided and combined, rising and collapsing erratically.
In the past forty years, Guangxian County has moved three times on various sand islands such as Sansha and Yao Liusha.
First, in the eighth year of Jiajing reign, the county seat in Yao Liusha collapsed into the sea, and the county magistrate took all the county elders to move north to Sansha Island.
Then in the 29th year of Jiajing, Sansha Island also collapsed, and the county seat had to be moved to Pingyangsha.
?The year before last, in the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, Pingyangsha collapsed again
This was also the main reason that prompted the court to finally decide to cancel the Tianci Salt Farm. How can we open a salt farm in such a place without Liu'er? It¡¯s not enough trouble!

Listening to the rain in the pavilion, the sound of rain outside makes people forget their tiredness.
"I heard that the county seat has not yet been selected." Zhao Hao took a sip of Xishan Yunwu Tea, but felt that the fragrant and sweet taste slowly moistened his lungs and penetrated into his limbs, making him feel as if there was wind in his armpits, as if he was drunk. When I was not drunk, I actually felt like I was in a state of ecstasy.
"Yes. It is said that the previous county magistrate was so frightened that he actually lived in the Temple of the Sea in Xisha and used the office of the Xisha Inspection Department to work." Jin Xuezeng nodded and said with a bitter smile:
"In addition, in the past few years, we were fighting against the Japanese and retreating. The island's vitality was severely damaged, but it has been making do until now."
"It's ridiculous. If the Japanese pirates come again, will the whole county have a chance to escape?" Yu Shensi said angrily: "I heard that even the garrison on Chongming Island has been transferred to Jinshan. I think the court intends to abandon Chongming!"
"Lieyang has made progress." Zhao Hao nodded with satisfaction. Yu Shensi's shortcoming is that he is too sensitive and delicate.
But if you use him in the right place, his sensitivity and delicateness will allow him to detect problems earlier than others and detect intentions that have not yet surfaced.
"The imperial court has this intention. The cancellation of the Tianci Salt Farm and the transfer of General Chongming were all caused by Xu Fan when he was in the cabinet." Mr. Zhao said to the two disciples in a deep voice: "The purpose is to cause a large number of islanders to flee to the mainland. .So where can the refugees flee to?"
"It's either Taicang or Songjiang. In the past two years, my father-in-law's family and my third junior brother's family have really absorbed a lot of refugees." Hua Shuyang poured tea for the three of them and said softly: "Of course, most of them are left to the Xu family. Attracted."
"What does the Xu family want with all these people?" Jin Xuezeng asked with a frown. Grandma is such a badass, she actually dares to try to control the people at Golden Arch Gate.
"There are so many uses. So much land in the Xu family needs people, and the cotton spinning and silk weaving factories also need tens of thousands of spinners and weavers." Hua Shuyang said, lowering his voice:
"Furthermore, the Chongming people are the best sailors. Their sand boat gang followed Zheng He across the Western Ocean. Of course, they are now running river transport."
Zhao Hao smiled when he heard this. How can a cat not steal fish? The Shachuan Gang is in a unique position. Even if they are not smuggling themselves, they are still an important part of smuggling.
Jin Xuezeng was better than a monkey at gluing hair, and he immediately understood what Hua Shuyang meant.
"Third Senior Brother, are you saying that the Xu family wants to take advantage of the serious collapse of the sandbank to move all the people in Chongming County to Songjiang to help his family with their work?"
Zhao Haoxin said that British sheep cannibalize people, and Mingsha cannibalizes people. Sure enough, the capitalists don¡¯t have any good things.
Of course, I am an exception.
¡°Well, I am a capitalist who serves the country wholeheartedly and does not seek personal gain.
"There is still the next step." Hua Shuyang is the third son of the Hua family and the eldest son-in-law of the Wang family. He knows much more about these secret activities than his two junior brothers.
"When the population of Chongming Island drops to eighty-nine and all industries are withered, they will start to withdraw from the county. As for why they need to withdraw from the county, and what they will do after the county is withdrawn, I don't know."
"What else can be done? Such an excellent smuggling port can of course be used to rebuild the glory of Shuangyu and Zhoushan"
Zhao Hao revealed the secret with one word.
Some things can only be discussed in person and cannot be communicated through letters. He only had one night, so he naturally had to explain it clearly to his disciples, and he had no time to hide it.
"There are still a lot of fertile fields on the island. They can take it as their own after the county is removed." Hua Shuyang acquiesced to the master's conjecture.
This is also the reason why he is obsessed with mathematics and ignores secular affairs.
Dirty, too dirty.
So the third son of the Hua family always just spends money, regardless of how he earns it.

"ah¡¡"
Jin Xuezeng was stunned when he heard this.
??He originally thought he was going to the novice village-like overseas Yingzhou to level up, but he didn't expect that he would face the most terrifying enemy when he came up.
"Master, can I do this?" He looked at Zhao Hao pitifully and said, "Why do you feel that that place is scarier than Kunshan?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhao Hao laughed loudly: "Do you know why you chose these two places as a teacher?"
The disciples quickly started thinking with their clever little minds Oh no, they are thinking.
"It's because the more difficult the place, the more capable you can show your abilities and build your achievements!" Hua Shuyang replied hurriedly.
"Crisis is a crisis, and there is an opportunity in a crisis. There are always opportunities brewing in danger, but ordinary people can't see it." Yu Shensi also quickly offered some unsophisticated flattery:
"Master must have chosen these two places because he saw opportunities. Master is awesome!"
"So Chongming Island can still be saved? You are indeed a master" Jin Xuezeng praised in a low voice. Although he is usually very eloquent, when it comes to flattering, his tongue feels like it is rusty
Zhao Hao smacked his lips. What the three said was correct, but he always felt that something was missing. There was no internal flavor.
Mr. Zhao suddenly slapped his forehead lightly, and his eldest disciple was missing.
Without Wang Wuyang¡¯s flattery, I feel really uncomfortable.
¡°Hey, it¡¯s all because this guy usually does all the flattery by himself and doesn¡¯t give his junior brothers a chance to practice.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from the regret when the fart is used, right?
Mr. Zhao sighed and stopped forcing himself.
"Yes, Kunshan and Chongming are both excellent places where men have made unparalleled achievements and are famous in history!"
Then he thought to Jin Xuezeng and Yu Shen who were looking forward to him: "Don't worry, their plan to withdraw from Chongming County is destined to go bankrupt!"
When the three disciples heard this, their hearts beat excitedly - it's coming, it's coming, that great prophecy with 100% accuracy, it's coming again!
"Yeah!" The two disciples nodded happily.
"As long as the master says it can't be done, the group of people named Xu will not be able to do it even if it turns upside down!"
But the surprise was not over yet. I heard Mr. Zhao assert again: "You set the county seat on Changsha Island to ensure that the golden water will last forever and never collapse into the water again!"
¡®Is this also a great prophecy? ¡¯ The disciples¡¯ hearts were beating fast, but no one dared to ask any more questions.
"Because I have surveyed before, Chongming's large-scale collapse is nearing its end." Zhao Hao said lightly: "Next, with Changsha as the center, they will soon be connected to form an unprecedented and unprecedented collapse. Yu¡¯s big island is coming. A real Chongming Island! Want to withdraw from the county? There is no way!"
