Chapter 1093 Why is the War

"Wang Tong, do you mean those millions of people?"

"Your Majesty, that's what I plan."

Emperor Wanli asked, Wang Tong answered, Emperor Wanli pondered for a while and said:

"There are large areas of land waiting to be reclaimed everywhere in Hetao and outside the pass, and there are also various tasks such as grazing and logging that require manual work. What do you mean is to let the North Koreans go there?"

"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xijue hurriedly spoke. After interrupting everyone, Wang Xijue said excitedly:

"The areas of Guihuacheng, Hetao, and the areas of Liaozhen are far away from the center and are mixed with ethnic groups. The control of the court cannot be said to be powerful. If such a large number of Koreans pass by, one generation and two generations can still be controlled. If the Ming Dynasty is a little unstable, I am afraid that these people will become independent. At that time, it will not make a profit, but will expand the territory of these Koreans."

This principle is also clear. After all, there are too many Koreans. If they go to these places, they will become the majority and are border areas. I am afraid they will not be able to control it at that time.

Everyone did not rush to draw conclusions, but turned their attention to Wang Tong to see how Wang Tong answered.

"The old man thought it was all right, but what Wang thought was to move the Koreans to various inland provinces, replace the Han people, let the Koreans be tenants, servants, and slaves, let the Han people reclaim wasteland and buy industries everywhere, become people with families and businesses, pay taxes for the court, and create a new world for our Ming Dynasty."

Everyone fell silent again. If they said this, there would be many benefits. The people in the imperial study room were all the leaders of the world and they all understood the situation today.

There are labor shortages in several northern provinces now, and many farmers go to the side wall to reclaim wasteland. The climate there may be colder than inland areas, but the benefits are that the taxes are lower and they have their own industries, which is better than being exploited in their original hometown.

And after so long, everyone knows that although it is bitter and cold outside, life is better than here after going there. Moreover, the people in charge will be somewhat of a rule and will not be bullied at will. If they are local, local officials and local tyrants will take such people into consideration.

Of course, the colonies that have been cultivated and pioneered in various places are not good-minded people. They do this to attract more people. After all, what is lacking most outside now is manpower.

Although farmers are hard to leave their hometowns, life is really difficult, and leaving their hometowns is not a choice. Nowadays, the most common lawsuits in the court are the population flow. Officials from inland provinces attack officials from border provinces, saying that they indulge the people out, while those in frontier provinces say that inland exploitation is too much, so the people have to leave.

Everyone has their own local positions, which has always been the case since ancient times, but the court is actually happy to see these things happening, because most of the people who escaped were poor and tenants, and these people worked hard for the powerful landlords, but the court did not have much profit at all, and they could not even get any benefits because the powerful landlords had various means of concealing the land and various privileges of exemption from taxes.

When these people go to the outer wall and outside the pass, they will have their own land and industries there. Although the tax exemption in the past two years is tax relief, in the long run, the court can collect taxes from these people and increase fiscal revenue. From the overall market of the world, the court will collect more and more taxes.

Wang Tong moved the Korean people to the inland, liberated more Han labor, let them settle down and establish careers in the border areas, increase taxes for the court, and increase controllable population. Similarly, these Korean people will definitely be integrated and digested after several generations of the Ming Dynasty, or even two generations.

Because the appearance differences between the people of the two countries are not big, and there are various similarities in living habits and cultures, they will naturally be assimilated smoothly.

Although North Korea has barren land, it is also a small province after all. With such a few million more people, it is not a bad thing. Expanding territory and increasing population. This is the greatest achievement for an emperor. The expression on Emperor Wanli's face changed from doubt to satisfaction, and he nodded slowly, but he still had problems.

"Wang Tong, you said these are naturally good things, but in this battle, the resettlement of these millions of people and North Korea will also move into the population. These are all huge expenses. If you say this, you may not be able to see results within fifty years!"

Asking about these details does not mean doubt. In fact, Emperor Wanli began to seriously consider this possibility, whether he could do this and how to do it.

Wang Xijue and Tian Yi looked at each other, and then looked at Zou Yi again. The expressions of the three of them mean the same. Wang Tong should have had a sabbatical case, otherwise how could he be so confident?

"Your Majesty, if you annex North Korea and migrate the population, you will not make up for the deficit of the army in the short term, and even the treasury will have to pay inward, but what I am talking about is not just North Korea."

The people in the room were subconsciously shocked again. They shook too many times, and it was because what Wang Tong said was too incredible. Some things that everyone dared not think about in the past, or even could not even think of, Wang Tong said them unscrupulously. Could it be...

"Wang Tong, where are you talking about?"

"Your Majesty, the Japanese pirates invaded Korea and were eyeing the Ming Dynasty, let alone the disaster in the southeast that year. How could such evil deeds not be punished? To drive the Japanese pirates out of Korea, we should also conquer the Japanese pirates."

"Duke of Liao, you also read books and know history. Don't you know that the Mongols crossed the sea to attack the Japanese, and were attacked by Tianfeng, and the entire army was wiped out. This Japanese country is unknown, and it is also a place that will not be conquered!"

Speaking of this, Wang Xijue was really stern. When the Yuan army attacked Japan, the 100,000 troops were wiped out by a typhoon because of ships. Everyone in the world knew about this. There was also the disaster of Japanese pirates during the Jiajing period. The Ming Dynasty had a consensus that Japan was unknown and the attack would inevitably lead to disaster.

Wang Tong sat upright and said with a smile:

"Ge Lao, the Mongol Yuan is just a Tartar. He didn't know the changes at sea, so he was attacked by strong winds. What does this have to do with the sky? So many Japanese pirates caused trouble to the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and they also came from the Japanese across the ocean. Why were they not blown by strong winds? Now, Songjiang and Tianjin Wei have opened the sea, maritime trade is booming, and there are also many maritime merchants. There are many capable people carrying boats and seas, so why can't they attack Japan?"

"Duke of Liao, there are nearly 10 million Japanese pirates, which is equivalent to the territory of several provinces in our Ming Dynasty. If they annex their territory and use their population, they will be across the sea. I think it will cost more than North Korea's annexation and digestion. Isn't this contrary to the original intention?"

This time, Zou Yi said that he annexed North Korea was because of the land border, and there were various convenient places. Moreover, the small North Korean court was invaded by Japanese pirates and requested to establish a province in the country many times. This is an acceptable type, but if you cross the sea to attack Japan, there will be various inconveniences.

If the attack on Japan fails, Wang Tong will bear huge responsibilities and even be disgraced. Only on this occasion can you speak clearly and dispel his thoughts will be safe. Emperor Wanli also said when summoning the right person to say that the person who spoke on this occasion is innocent, which is for everyone to discuss.

Hearing Zou Yi’s question, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:

"Eunuch Zou is also a safe consideration. However, after conquering Japan, he can make money immediately. Not only can the military spending be compensated, but the national treasury will also be filled."

Everyone leaned forward and focused on Wang Tong, thinking about how to make money and make a lot of money. What you said was a huge amount of money.

"Your Majesty, Japan produces a lot of gold, silver and copper. According to the news of the maritime merchants, although Japan only has a few provinces in the Ming Dynasty, the output of gold, silver and copper is several times more than that of our Ming Dynasty."

The few people in the house have been in high positions and power for a long time, but when they heard this, they still couldn't help but exclaim. With such a production, what would Japan be rich?

"It's always a legend to be rich overseas. How can you take it seriously? The Duke of Liao must be cautious!"

Zou Yi said in a deep voice, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, but spoke again:

"Your Majesty, Master Wang Ge, two father-in-law, there is a clear text on the classics of how many copper coins are cast during the Yongle period. But today, the copper coins circulating in Jinwei and Songjiang Prefecture are almost one-third of this number. If the places around Tianjinwei and Songjiang Prefecture are included, one-half or even more. The size of this territory is so large, there are so many copper coins flowing, and the quality is quite new. In other places in the world, don't they use copper coins? Is this copper coins still being newly cast? Moreover, Japan, North Korea and Nanyang have always used Yongle Tongbao, so many coppers come from, and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang have reported that they are all privately cast by pirates in Japan, so how much copper does it have to be."

This matter is not private. Everyone here has heard of it, but after hearing what Wang Tong said, he suddenly expanded his thinking.

Wang Tong continued to talk, and he continued to speak:

"In Japan, one tael of gold and four taels of silver, and the quality of gold and silver is excellent. Some people who traveled between the Ming Dynasty and Japan made a business by exchanging gold and silver, which was also a wealthy country."

The Ming Dynasty officials exchanged one tael of gold for ten taels of silver. Because silver flowed in a large amount of silver in the Wei and Songjiang Prefectures in Tianjin, the ratio of gold and silver exchange was 1 to 8 or 1 to 7 to 5. However, compared with this in Japan, you can tell the huge profits in it with a little calculation.

Nowadays, it is the so-called time when the world is profitable. Japan is so rich, it is really a piece of fat. It is a city of Guihua and the white mountains and black waters outside the walls. These places make the appetite of the wise rulers and ministers become bigger and bigger, and the pursuit of wealth is becoming more and more urgent. When Wang Tong said this, everyone was moved-
