The people in the Northern Hebei Province's Commander-In-Chief Mansions were carrying out a vigorous immigration movement. Large tracts of land were left idle.
As long as people had a little skill, they would not refuse to work outside. Not only was the income high, but more importantly, their children could go to school to study. In the local area, as long as they were not particularly rich, ordinary rich families could not find a suitable teacher to teach their children.
"This is it for my life. The rest is up to the children." A man who knew how to hunt tied a dozen complete skins into a big bag and carried it on his back. He also carried a carrying pole on his shoulder. There was a basket in front of him and a basket in front of him. In the basket in front of him was a two-year-old boy, and behind him was a girl less than a year old.
Beside him was a girl less than ten years old and a boy about six years old. Their eyes showed confusion and a trace of excitement. They followed another woman and walked towards Jili Province.
When the woman heard the man's words, she looked determined. She tidied up the bag on her back and touched the man's bow on her left shoulder. She picked up a bamboo basket with her right hand and said to the six-year-old boy who was confused about the future, "When we get there, don't make trouble. You have to learn well. If others bully you, you have to endure it. This time, your father will fight for you."
Even if a six-year-old child knew something, he did not know much. He was not like Xiaobei and the others who had been educated since they were in their mother's womb. Hearing his mother's words, he nodded with empty eyes, "Is it true that if I go to school, I will get candy? I heard that there are schools in both Zhang Family and Wang Family. Where is sister? "
The little boy looked at his sister who was walking on the other side. The girl was full of hope. She looked at her mother and then at her father. Seeing that they did not look at her, she lowered her head regretfully.
Girls who were not from rich families were not allowed to learn to read. After all, they would belong to other families in the future. It was not worth it to spend money. When the girl was younger, she understood that the family belonged to her two younger brothers.
After walking for a while, the man with the carrying pole finally spoke.
"I heard that both men and women are required to go to school. If you learn well, you will be rewarded. Eldest daughter, go to school for a month first. If there is a reward, go to school. You don't have to go home to work."
"Oh, I can go to school with my sister. Sister, you must study hard." The boy immediately cheered up.
The girl didn't say anything. She changed the position of the bag on her shoulder and pursed her lips. Her eyes showed that she was going to fight for her life.
This type of scene played out everywhere. Every province could send out a thousand people, each family's relatives. The groups that gradually gathered together became more and more vast.
When those in power saw this situation, they didn't dare to stop him, but they also couldn't bear to let him go. They could only grieve in their hearts.

It was impossible for the people in the capital not to know about such a big thing happening in the north of Hebei Province. Not only did they know about it, but there were also people in the capital who were pushing it behind the scenes, and the biggest one was the Emperor, Li Longji.
After seeing the news from the other side, while the weather was not cold yet, he ran to the newly built unsinkable lake with Gao Lishi and said to Gao Lishi: "After a group of people with some skills come here, we should find a way to let other people migrate to other places. What do you think about the empty land?"
For the first time, Gao Lishi didn't have to worry about sinking when he swam. He was feeling very comfortable. When he heard the Emperor's words, he looked at the white clouds floating in the sky. After thinking for a while, he replied: Your Majesty, when the land is empty, there will naturally be people who want to occupy it. However, there is only land and no people. Presumably, they will have to move in from other places. Your Majesty must prevent people from forcing people to move.
"En! Lishi, what do you think will happen if we let Xiao Bao and Cuckoo find a way to find people from other places? "Li Longji was a little reluctant to give up good places and wanted to take all of them.
"Absolutely not. If the two of them look for people from other places, who will they listen to? Naturally, the Commander-In-Chief of the various Commander-In-Chief Manors have no power, and it is not good for Xiaobao and Xiaobao to have too much power. I hope Your Majesty will reconsider. This subject has heard Xiaobao say that if we occupy that piece of land, the rice produced will taste better, and the beans produced will be able to be squeezed out more oil. Why don't we put it aside for now and wait for the two of them to return before we discuss. "
Gao Lishi objected to letting Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan reach out their hands. This would be good for both Tang and Zhang Xiaobao.
After a while, Li Longji leisurely said: "There are still not enough people. Find more people to study in Deyi Medical School. I want to let every child in Tang live."

"Xiaobao, our population is getting bigger and bigger. Where should we put them? I'm not willing to return to Great Tang, but it's a waste of labor here. Give me an idea. "
Wang Juan was also worried about the population, but unlike Li Longji, she was worried about not having a place to settle them. This time, Zhang Xiaobao's plan was to take over at least one hundred thousand slaves, regardless of whether they were from Tufan or Turkic Khaganate.
"Let's put them in Heilongjiang. Li Longji can't manage that place. We should protect the environment first. I've been there before, and it's too hard to find wild animals there. They even ate animals from the zoo. Now, that place is really good. After we go there, we can gather all the tribes there. In the future, there won't be any Soviet Union or Russia."
Zhang Xiaobao was thinking long-term.
"You've done that kind of thing before? How can you bear to eat cute animals from the zoo? They're already pitiful enough. "Wang Juan stared at Zhang Xiaobao's words.
"I didn't want to eat them. It was the local officials who purposely arranged for me to eat them. Don't blame me. Tufan and Turkic Khaganate haven't replied to say whether they want to sell their livestock or not. I'm just urging them. Consider it an ultimatum."
Zhang Xiaobao denied Wang Juan's words. He picked up his brush and started to write another letter.
Without waiting for Zhang Xiaobao's letter to be sent out, a letter from Tufan arrived.
Wang Juan opened the letter. "It's a letter from Princess Jincheng. Looks like Zuzan Chide has no other choice and wants to play the family card. Does he think that our hearts are so soft? If the family card is useful, Tufan won't come and attack Great Tang for no reason. "
"Let me see. Princess Jincheng's handwriting is really not bad. How many apricot trees are there outside the capital? Swallows leave and return like snow. Butterflies come and dance like yesterday. The clouds disperse, the stars pass by. The Cowherd and the Weaving Girl fall into the two rivers. The sun sets in the west, the moon on the left. She still has the mood to write poems for fun. "
Zhang Xiaobao took the letter and read it. He felt that it was very interesting.
"What poem? She's homesick." Wang Juan took the letter back and read it twice.
