This was indeed their thought.

"Of course I know, but things are not as you imagine. I can openly fleece Great Tang's wool, and no one will say a word of complaint," Qin Mu said with a faint smile.

He had already thought out the entire plan.

"Husband, how is this possible? Our Great Qin is taking advantage of others' misfortune, receiving Great Tang's people at this time, no matter how you look at it, it's not a good choice."

Wu Meiniang was also very puzzled.

This is an unsolvable problem!

If one wants Great Qin to develop rapidly, the population problem must be solved as soon as possible.

After all, Great Qin is no longer what it used to be.

The territory area has expanded extremely rapidly.

The people in various places have also gradually stabilized.

But the newly opened territory has few people.

The urgent priority is to attract population.

The best way to attract population is to introduce it from Great Tang.

But currently, there is a plague outbreak everywhere.

Attracting population at this time is truly a bit of a gentleman's non-action.

"Have you forgotten? We already know how to resist smallpox. Since that's the case, as long as we announce publicly that any people who come to Great Qin can survive, think about it, what will the people of northern Great Tang do?"

Qin Mu explained.

Boom!

This one sentence immediately made Wu Meiniang and the others suddenly enlightened.

That's right!

Don't we already have a way to resist smallpox?

As long as this matter is announced, many people in Great Tang will definitely come to Youzhou from thousands of miles away.

Then fleecing Great Tang's wool is not taking advantage of others' misfortune, but a righteous act!

Saving the people of the world!

This will not only not leave a stain in history, but it will even be written about extensively.

"Mu'er, you really have a way. You always look at problems from another angle, and you see them more thoroughly than we do."

Zhangsun Wugou was truly convinced, and her heart was extremely comforted.

Having such a son, what kind of happiness is that?

Wu Meiniang and Li Xueyan also nodded.

Their thoughts were the same as Zhangsun Wugou's.

Having such a husband is a woman's greatest happiness!

"Great Qin has a way to resist smallpox!"

Once this news spread, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

Especially in northern Great Tang.

"What!? Great Qin actually has a way to resist smallpox? How is this possible?"

"It's true! Don't you know? Recently, Great Qin always has some merchants going south, they always go in and out of places where the plague is most severe, but not a single person has contracted smallpox."

"A miracle! It's simply a miracle! Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry to Great Qin!"

"Right! Anyway, staying here is death, we might as well go to Great Qin!"

"Look at our Emperor! He already ran to Jiangnan for refuge, what are we still staying here for? We might as well defect to Great Qin!"

After learning the news, the people of northern Great Tang scrambled, brought their luggage and family members, and rushed toward the northern border like crazy.

In an instant!

The official roads in various parts of northern Great Tang were overcrowded!

The people all hoped to find a way to survive for themselves.

Even in Chang'an City, many people were fleeing to the north.

Qin Mu was an even greater divine assist.

He set up various strongholds along the official road to Great Qin.

Every stronghold had sufficient food and water.

Every time the people passed through these strongholds, they could get great replenishment, allowing them to travel to Great Qin faster.

Not only that.

Youzhou, Lingzhou, Jizhou, and other northern prefectures and counties began to work overtime to build houses crazily.

They felt the warmth of home.

The busy days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye.

Two months passed.

Millions of Great Tang's population migrated to Great Qin!

The north of Great Tang was extremely desolate, with no one in sight everywhere.

Compared to this was the territory of Great Qin.

Every place was full of vitality, and everywhere was bustling.

The shouting of various merchants was endless.

Adults took their children to play happily in the streets and alleys.

Under Qin Mu's rule, the strength of Great Qin once again ushered in vigorous development.

At the same time.

Jiangnan Jin Ling City.

Drizzling rain.

Inside the palace of Jin Ling City.

Li Er walked with his hands behind his back, his face full of sorrow.

Annoying!

Very annoying!

He had been in Jiangnan for refuge for some time.

But the plague in the north still showed no signs of improvement.

Although the south was not affected.

The taxes and money and grain in various parts of Jiangnan were still supplied sufficiently.

But in the end.

This was only half of Great Tang's territory.

Li Er was still concerned about the north, still concerned about Chang'an City.

"Sigh!"

"I don't know how the people in the north are doing."

Li Er sighed.

Since coming to the south, the people who migrated from the north had already fallen into a land of gentleness.

No one was willing to return to the north, and no one was willing to step into death again.

After all, for them.

The north of Great Tang had become a realm of death.

Everywhere was plague and smallpox, and if one was not careful, one would contract smallpox and die.

No one was willing to go to the north to inquire about news.

Until the last few days.

News finally came from the north one after another.

"Your Majesty, it's bad!"

Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Cheng Yaojin, and others walked over one after another.

Li Er's heart skipped a beat.

Bad news!
