    During the Zhengde period, the thinking of the local people in the Ming Dynasty was still very simple and naive, and they were accustomed to their own set of procedures for doing things.

    This time, the civil servant group united with the nobles who controlled water transportation to launch river engineering troubles.  Of course, ventilation beforehand, planning during the event, follow-up plans, etc. are indispensable.

    Based on their past experience, once such civil unrest involving a large number of people breaks out, it will not be calmed down within a year and a half.  That's why they had the confidence to negotiate with the national master by his little tail.

    But no one could have imagined that the open Nanhai system had already surpassed the constraints of the times. Instant messaging was only a drizzle, and it was already a basic operation to be able to send messages from dawn to dusk throughout the Ming Dynasty.

    ¡°When the river workers just started to gather, in order to achieve the best results, the yamen at all levels had not yet agreed on when to report the matter.  Jilong Port has urgently mobilized thousands of people, including officers and soldiers, civilians, and martial arts masters, to board two hundred freshly built Haihe River general transport ships and make a mighty journey north.

    Arriving near Huating (Shanghai), the two fleets split into two, and one part sailed from the Huating estuary into the Yangtze River.  The other part continued northward and entered Beijing via Tianjin. Under the banner of the eldest princess of the South China Sea, they sent tribute grains to Beijing.

    The fleet that came to Beijing was responsible for promoting the advantages of maritime transportation. On the pretext of paying tribute to the South China Sea, they moved around to ask for the imperial court's approval for maritime transportation.

    In one fell swoop, the attention of both the government and the public was attracted. Everyone was busy trying to stop this, and they didn¡¯t even care about canals, water transportation, and river construction.

    The fleet that entered the Yangtze River from Huating went all the way upstream to the junction of Yangzhou, Zhenjiang and the canal, and split up again, one heading north and the other heading south.

    In less than two days, South China Sea motor ships under the banner of Four Seas Trade appeared at almost every important dock and river worker gathering place along the entire canal.

    Those people on board the boat quickly connected with the local Beggar Gang disciples and successfully penetrated deep into the river to launch a propaganda offensive.

    The content of the promotion is super simple. Daguang Island in Nanyang is a paradise. As long as you are willing to go, land will be distributed according to your head. Each adult will have at least 100 acres of fertile land. Women can also work in factories, which is also a stable income.  The most important thing is that the national teacher has set up a school in every town, and children under the age of ten can attend school for free!

    The person responsible for the propaganda in Laihe Gongzhong this time had specially selected immigrants who had relatives or acquaintances in the local area.

    A few years ago, these people were just like everyone else, struggling to survive in the mud, and even most of the conditions were far worse than those of river workers.  After all, it¡¯s not that you can¡¯t survive, who would be willing to leave your hometown?

    But this time we met again, these people seemed to have changed their skin.  Not only do they dress neatly and decently, and they spend money generously, but the key is that everyone¡¯s spirit is different.

    Clothes, money and other external objects can be faked, but the appearance of a person cannot be faked.  For people who are used to living a hard life, no matter how hard they work, the discoloration on their faces cannot be removed.

    But these people¡¯s faces are all red now, and some of them are even so fat that their former friends dare not recognize them.

    This is truly a good life, and it¡¯s not just a day or two, it¡¯s a long time!

    The river workers were hesitant at first. After all, the ancestral graves are buried here, where generations of ancestors have lived.  If you just leave your family and career behind, it's inevitable that you won't be able to let it go.

    But in the final analysis, river workers are hard work.  Among them, there are a large number of bachelors who have already become lonely ghosts, and these people are the first to be tempted.  Not to mention anything else, as long as you agree to go south, the Imperial Master will directly pay you five silver dollars as a resettlement fee.  This is a real benefit!

    For many poor people, five silver dollars is actually more than their worth.  During disaster years, an adult is only worth a few hundred copper coins, and only girls of appropriate age have relatively stable prices.

    In just three to five days, at least one-third of the river workers were persuaded to receive silver coins directly, quietly communicate with relatives about old times, board a motor boat at night, sail all the way along the canal into the sea, and reach Jiji the next day.  Cage port.

    The port has been fully mobilized, and these people will immediately feel at home as soon as they land.  All kinds of cleaning, inspection, reception, and placement are all one-stop, and the service is extremely smooth.

    The first batch of river workers were put in place in less than seven days. The bright new cement houses had been built, hundreds of acres of fertile farmland had been cultivated, farm tools comparable to swords and magic weapons, etc., everything made people suddenly feel like they were in a dream.

    When the grassroots cadres who registered household registration came to the door, implemented various specific policies one by one, and issued household registration certificates, everyone was completely relieved.

    The cadres also told them that they are not afraid of being naked. If they are willing, they can make a noise. There are a lot of Liao women here who are willing to marry Han people.

    ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?How dare they bring up the issue of water transport when it's thrown in their face?  "

    "No, the way back here is cut off. The river has been dug up for him again. Now he wants to make trouble with the river workers again. Even the people are gone. Let's see what confidence they have!"

    Cheng Buyou put away the telescope: "Old Qian is a great hero, let's go and greet him!"

    Wang Shouren has no identity differences to begin with. Now that he is in a high position, he is even more unwilling to make people feel that he is separated from the masses.  What's more, Lao Qian did play a decisive role in this incident. If it were the two of them who went to Beijing, they would be arrested as traitors if they couldn't even enter the palace gate.  It's different for Lao Qian. He was born as a palace official and is still close to the eldest princess. It's natural for him to play the role of the eldest princess. He can act in his true colors even if he pretends to be a palace official.

    "Old Qian has been with Sun Zheng for a long time, and has long since washed away his previous flattery of being an internal official.  I was very proud to see the two important officials coming out to greet them. This is the face I earned through my true ability!  It is far more satisfying to get respect from the royal family and the status of the eldest princess.

    The three of them complimented each other and went to the Imperial Master's Office to report together.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
