Wu Qian's sudden departure from Qingyuan Mansion is the most popular topic in Yanggong Town recently.

Wu Qian's departure also had some impact on Xiaolongwan Harbor.

Some people originally thought that Xiaolongwan had Wu Qian's support, so they invested a lot of money regardless of everything, but the contract was not warmed up yet, and Xiaolongwan's big backer suddenly left, so some people began to feel worried again, not knowing whether they should withdraw their investment.

Of course, there are still a few people who have this idea. Most of them learned the lessons from the last time. During the private discussion, they were more conservative and wait-and-see attitude, and no one went to Xiaolong Bay to ask for a refund.

Because almost all the houses in Xiaolong Bay have been sold out, and there are still many people holding coins to buy them. It is easy to withdraw before they can see the situation clearly. I am afraid that if I want to squeeze in again, I will not have any chance.

A few days later, news came from the court that Wu Qian was transferred to Ezhou, and he was also appointed as the Privy Council Office and the commander of the Yangtze River. This was obviously a high rise.

And at the same time, news came that Wu Qian requested to be transferred to the Anti-Mongolia frontline himself, which also made many people admire and sigh.

Zhao Qi's words of every man who is responsible for the rise and fall of the world gradually spread in Qingyuan Prefecture, which also aroused the people's enthusiasm for anti-Mongolia. There were chivalrous and brave men in groups to go to Ezhou to join Wu Qian, and wanted to fight with the Mongolians with real swords and guns.

Wu Qian asked to transfer himself from Qingyuan Mansion to the front line, which may be an opportunity to change the fate of the Song Dynasty.

After every major war, it will inevitably be the time for the court to reshuffle.

Therefore, Zhao Qi encouraged Wu Qian to transfer to Ezhou with his determination and attitude of cutting his head.

If you win, Wu Qian will naturally make a lot of credit and enter the center, expel Ding Daquan, suppress Jia Sidao, and adopt an active defensive policy against Meng. In this way, the Song Dynasty court may be able to survive for a few more years, and he will also get strong support from the court, laying a solid foundation for future development.

If you lose...that is, you lose. Anyway, the Song Dynasty is almost over. It doesn’t make any difference if you stay for a few years or younger.

However, according to the past history, the possibility of the defeat of the Song Dynasty this time is almost zero.

After all, Ezhou in history was surrounded by Kublai Khan's army without any defense. In addition, Mengge died in Diaoyu City, and Kublai Khan had to retreat urgently, which made Jia Sidao get a bargain.

The Song Dynasty has always had a idiot of conspiring with the enemy and lingering in lingering. In order to increase his contribution, Jia Sidao went to discuss peace with Kublai Khan in private after learning that Mengge Khan was dead. Kublai Khan also agreed to it in a good mood, and was so excited that he would not even sign the contract, he would withdraw his troops and return to his hometown without even signing the contract.

Although there are many different opinions about Jia Sidao and the Mongolians' peace talks and there is no accurate record in history, some things are not groundless after all. According to the usual urinary nature of officials in the Song Dynasty, this is probably 70 to 80% possible.

Now, Ezhou, which was unprepared, has been prepared for Zhao Qi's advance judgment. Regardless of whether the court will increase troops and deploy defenses on a large scale in Ezhou, Zhao Qi believes that Wu Qian will never do nothing after he goes.

When Wu Qian came to Zhao Qi to discuss before leaving, Zhao Qi had already told him everything he knew and thought.

As the saying goes, things come true, and people make plans. Although there is no foolproof plan, with these reminders from Zhao Qi, Wu Qian will definitely do his best to prepare for the war.

As for whether he could hold Kublai Khan according to Zhao Qi's best plan in the end, even killing Kublai Khan with his eyes openly, but if he could give the Mongolian army a severe blow with sufficient preparation, it would greatly inspire the confidence and courage of the Southern Song army and civilians to resist the Mongolians.

If the Song Dynasty could survive, it would be better to continue to survive. Only a stable environment would give Zhao Qi more time to strengthen his strength.

It can also prevent a large number of people from being massacred by the Mongols.

There is a saying in Song Dynasty: It’s better to be a peaceful dog than a person in troubled times.

When a country does not have enough ability to kill the enemy, Gou is the best posture. Many times, you are overestimating yourself and killing yourself.

What's more, the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty has become so decaying that it is almost hopeless.

What Zhao Qi could do was not save him, but to give him some medicine to survive.

Wu Qian's departure made Manager Liu nervous for several days.

But Zhao Qi seemed to have nothing happened. Every day, he stayed at his home to write, draw and supervise the construction of his own house. Sometimes he would bring two children from Lai Fu to make money in the village or go to the town or go to the mountain temple under construction to help him. Occasionally, if there was something to do on the construction site, he would take a bus to the Xiaolongwan construction site for guidance. He would have lived a very leisurely time.

After mid-June, the rice fields near Yanggong Town began to turn golden, and early rice has begun to mature. After harvesting in late summer, they will quickly sow seedlings and flowers again. They can harvest another crop in October. Although the yield of the second crop is much lower, the yield per mu can reach about three stones in the two seasons.

The abundant food in the Song Dynasty was due to the introduction and promotion of Chameng rice.

Now at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, after three hundred years of large-scale planting, rice has become the staple food for the Song Dynasty people. Jiangdong, Jiangxi, Liangzhe Road and Lianghuai Road are the main rice-producing areas, and Liangzhe Road is the best description at the moment. Suhu Lake is ripe and the world is full of all.

Liangzhe Road, composed of prosperous cities such as Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, Shaoxing, and Ningbo, is the most prosperous and prosperous area of ​​the Song Dynasty. Whether on both sides of the official road or mountain villages and farms, there are endless large areas of rice fields, and they are almost all ripe fields that have been cultivated for hundreds of years. Just soak a handful of seeds and grow well. In addition, the imperial court repaired irrigation canals on a large scale to increase grain production, and the rice yield was very high.

Whenever rice transplanting and harvesting seasons, a large number of unemployed farmers will pour into the Liangzhe Road. Their children and daughters will appear on time in the family and village units, like migratory birds.

These people have been working as employees everywhere to make a living. When the rice in Suzhou is mature, they go to Suzhou to harvest rice. When the tea picking time in Fujian comes, they will help pick tea. When the lychees in Guangdong are ripe, they will help pick lychees. These people migrate in groups and migrate, living a wandering and turbulent life, working hard just to support the family.

Most of these people came from the Huaihe River Basin, the front line where Song and Meng confronted each other.

These people appeared very early this year, and they began to appear almost in mid-May.

According to time, it is probably the people who fled after the Mongolian East Road invaded Jingshan.

Qingyuan Prefecture has always been the main producing area for rice and tea.

Therefore, there are a lot of employees coming every year. If you are lucky, you can be a tenant in a wealthy family, and the family will settle down. If you are unlucky, you can only harvest rice here and then go to another place to make a living. If you really can't survive, you will sell your children, daughters, and wife to seek a way out. As for being a hired worker at the dock, it is impossible. Basically, the helpers at the dock are monopolized by the locals, and outsiders can't squeeze in at all.

Although Yanggong Town is a harbor, it still has tens of thousands of acres of rice fields, and it has now entered the harvesting stage.

In addition to tenants, most families spend some money to hire people to plant rice and harvest rice.

First, farming is very tiring, second, hiring workers is very cheap, and it is not cost-effective. At the dock, the worker earns about 200 cents a day, but in addition to giving two kilograms of grain, it is enough to only pay seventy or eighty cents. This year's situation is even more special, because there are so many people coming, and the wages have been suppressed to the point where only fifty cents are spent.

Recently, Maowan Village has also started to harvest rice.

Except for Zhao Qi's family, there is no farmland in the entire village, every household has more than ten acres or dozens of acres of rice fields, and the large households with a large population even have hundreds of acres. Like Liu's charity house, there are more than 500 acres.

In previous years, when harvesting rice, some relatively poor families in the village would still harvest it themselves, but this year was completely different. Almost all the wealthy Maowan Village hired workers. In order to seize the time, in previous years, only one or two people hired to help at least twice as much as possible this year.
