Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 294 Blocking
After that, Zhang Qingfeng reported the cause and effect of this incident to the state government and the imperial court.

Half a month later, the imperial court issued a reply, removing Zhou Quan from his position and dispatching him to the northwest frontier.

In the Song Dynasty, officials could be promoted to officials, and county magistrates could not dismiss officials casually. Only magistrates and the court had this right, so Zhang Qingfeng would petition the state government and the court to remove Zhou Quanyou.

After Zhang Qingfeng sentenced Liu Baofu's case, Zhang Qingfeng's prestige in Yizhou Island was much higher.

After the verdict of this matter, no businessman dared to go beyond the boundaries and invade the land of Xiang army soldiers.

Later, Zhang Qingfeng asked people to check the registration status of land title deeds. He found that there were many people like Wu Datou, and several members of the land reclamation team did not know about the land title deeds.

For those who concealed the title deeds, Zhang Qingfeng directly had those land reclamation captains tied up, and then held a public trial meeting in front of everyone, not only dismissed them from their positions, but also made them lose face in front of everyone .

Time passed, and after Zhang Qingfeng settled 5 people, in the second half of the second year, the court sent another 5 people.

For these 5 people, Zhang Qingfeng, who had experience, arranged everything with ease.

At the same time, in addition to the disbanded Xiang Army soldiers arranged by the imperial court, many family members of the former Xiang Army soldiers also began to immigrate spontaneously to Yizhou Island.

In ancient times, the biggest difficulty for immigrants was the danger of the journey and the troubles of diseases that would cause heavy casualties to the colonists.

After Zhang Qingfeng led people to overcome dangerous diseases such as miasma, malaria and plague on Yizhou Island, the difficulty of developing Yizhou Island was greatly reduced.

So many businessmen flock to them when they see opportunities to make money.

In the third year, at least more than 200 merchants, landlords and gentry brought many farmers to Yizhou Island to open up wasteland.

Many people figured it out very well that as long as one thousand acres of land was reclaimed in Yizhou Island, they could earn tens of thousands of guan every year, and the investment in reclaiming a thousand acres of land was very small. It only needed to hire a hundred people, and it took a year.

The number of people employed by these merchants was only much larger than the number of Xiang army soldiers abolished by the imperial court.

In the third year after Zhang Qingfeng came to Yizhou Island, the number of Han people on Yizhou Island had reached 25.

Except for 15 soldiers and family members of the Xiang Army, the rest are spontaneous immigrants, as well as long-term labor hired by merchants and landlords who came here to invest.

At the same time, Zhang Qingfeng also asked Da Song Daily to report on the development of Yizhou Island in lengthy newspapers.

I heard that after going to Yizhou Island to open up wasteland, each person can get up to [-] mu of land, and a family can get up to [-] mu of land, so many people went to Yizhou Island to open up wasteland.

This is also the reason why there are so many spontaneous immigrants on Yizhou Island.

25 people reclaimed Yizhou Island. In a short period of time, some places with rivers along the southern coast of Yizhou Island were all reclaimed into fertile land.

Many places far away from the river have also been reclaimed into dry land.

On these lands, in addition to growing food soybeans, many people also grow cotton, mulberry, hemp, and other cash crops.

In order to transport these grains and cash crops out, Zhang Qingfeng also joined forces with many big businessmen to invest in the construction of many ports in various places.

Up to now, there are at least hundreds of ships going back and forth between Quanzhou and Yizhou Island every day.

Many small islands in between have also become places where ships dock and replenish, and their value has skyrocketed.

After the second uncle of the Tian family became the general judge of Quanzhou, it really brought Zhang Qingfeng a lot of convenience.

Many of the requests he reported to the state government were basically agreed to.

In the third year of Zhang Qingfeng's development of Yizhou Island.

That is, in 1205 AD, the Song Dynasty changed its year name to Kaixi.

In April of the first year of Kaixi, Han Yuzhou wrote to Zhao Kuo, requesting that Yue Fei be granted the title of King of Hubei, and that the posthumous title of King Shen of Qin Hui be removed, and his posthumous title be changed to "Wuchou". He also issued an edict to investigate Qin Hui for his crime of harming the country. Zhao Kuo agreed. Han Zhouzhou's letter.

After that, Han Yuzhou began to vigorously promote the officials of the main combat faction, and newspapers also began to report related matters at length.

The Kaixi Northern Expedition unfolded as it did in history.

Han Tuozhou did not change his mind about the Northern Expedition because of Zhang Qingfeng's arrival.

Because Han Tuozhou suppressed dissidents, he was very unpopular in the court, so he needed the prestige of the Northern Expedition to consolidate his power.

After receiving the news, Zhang Qingfeng, who was far away on Yizhou Island, could only sigh.

He knew that the failure of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Expedition in history was mainly due to the lack of preparation of the Song army, and the main reason why the Northwest General Wu Xi secretly defected to the Jin Dynasty and wanted to establish himself as king in Shu.

Zhang Qingfeng wanted to expose the true face of this person, but there was no good way.

Wu Xi's grandfather was a famous anti-gold general, and many members of his family were serving the imperial court.

It is impossible for Zhang Qingfeng to say that Wu Xi went to the northwest with ulterior motives, that he wanted to establish himself as a king, and then persuaded the court not to let Wu Xi go to Shu to lead the army.

Zhang Qingfeng is just a county magistrate of Yizhou Island. What he said is so light that others can't believe it. On the contrary, he will be suppressed by Wu Xi because he offended Wu Xi.

Moreover, Wu Xi is "full of loyalty", and others will not believe that he will rebel.

However, Zhang Qingfeng will not just watch Wu Xi go to Sichuan and drag Song into the abyss.

"Yang Hu, there is something I need you to do for me. You must not let anyone know about this."

On this day, Zhang Qingfeng called his brother Yang Hu over.

Yang Hu, and some of the Yang family's children have been by Zhang Qingfeng's side for the past few years.

Yang Hu has followed him since he was 14 years old, and now he is only 19 years old.

In the past few years following Zhang Qingfeng, Zhang Qingfeng has been instilling some ideas in them.

So for Zhang Qingfeng, they are very loyal.

"Third brother, what do you want to tell me? Don't worry, I will never tell anyone." Yang Hu assured Zhang Qingfeng.

"If this incident happens, even if you commit suicide, you can't disclose it, otherwise it will bring disaster to our Yang family." Zhang Qingfeng continued to emphasize.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Yang Hu's expression also became serious.

"Third brother, we are not going to rebel, are we?"

"What are you thinking? This matter is related to the safety of Da Song, I need you like this..."

Afterwards, Zhang Qingfeng explained many things to Yang Hu.

"Third brother, don't worry, even if this matter is death, I will never reveal half a word." Yang Hu assured Zhang Qingfeng.

What Zhang Qingfeng asked Yang Hu to do was to return to Lin'an City, and then find a way to buy a printing machine without disclosing the review, and then print leaflets and spread them secretly in Lin'an City.

Fortunately, Zhang Qingfeng's printing press has now become a popular commodity, and anyone who wants to buy it can buy it, and the court cannot investigate it even if it wants to.

What Zhang Qingfeng asked Yang Hu to spread was very simple, that is, to spread rumors: It was said that a servant of the Wu family had secretly overheard the plot of Wu Xi and his brother Wu Xie. The matter of the country establishing itself as a king.

Now Wu Xi should have started to manage the matter of returning to Shu to become a general. Zhang Qingfeng must stop him as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Yang Hu left Yizhou Island with the mission assigned by Zhang Qingfeng.

Zhang Qingfeng didn't know if his actions could prevent Wu Xi from returning to Shu, but if it couldn't, it could only be God's will, which meant that Song Dynasty was really hopeless.
