Chapter 606 The one who grabs the business is here

Emperor Chongzhen thought of allocating these people to the royal family's vassal kings, and letting them follow the vassal kings to go out to sea to grab territory, and spread all over the place.

At that time, these vassal kings will naturally have headaches in the land, and these people will no longer have to be homeless. The problem will be solved.

But after thinking for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen gave up this tempting idea.

This is nearly ten million people. Although there are many vassal kings in the Ming Dynasty, after being assigned to each vassal king, the people still seem to be insufficient, but the Ming Dynasty is even short of manpower at the moment!

More importantly, whether it is to build these people by themselves to build railways or do other tasks, the vassal kings would have to offer higher prices if they wanted to recruit the people. After all, the Ming Dynasty court was much more reliable in the hearts of the people than those vassal kings.

Wen Tiren, Guo Yunhou and others have been in high positions in the court for a long time. Novice like Emperor Chongzhen can basically guess at a certain level.

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen often did not play according to the routine, and often even if he guessed it, he would have no use.

Faced with the problem of Emperor Chongzhen, Wen Tiren quietly gave Hong Chengchou a wink? Let’s talk about it first?

Hong Chengchou looked like he looked at his nose and nose, and shook his head invisibly, but he did not say a word, which made Wen Tiren secretly hate him.

Unable to figure out what Emperor Chongzhen thought and had no time to think about it, Wen Tiren simply bowed and asked, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "What I mean is to ask the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Transport to recruit these people to clear rivers and bridges and build railways.

But just now, Hong Aiqing said that these people are waiting for the court to divide the land, otherwise they would rather waste their time here than work on the construction site."

When you hear the string song, you will know the meaning of elegance. Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou almost instantly understood the intention of Emperor Chongzhen to summon him and his two people.

After thinking for a while, Wen Tiren said: "Now the northeast of the Ming Dynasty is Liaodong, Nurkandus, Korea, the Leshi grassland in the north, Duogansi and Wusizang in the west, Luzon, Java, and Ryukyu in the south.

If millions of immigrate to each place, these lands will be digested, which is not a big problem.

As for wanting these people to go to work first and then immigrate, it is actually not a big problem. As long as the court can make the people believe in and understand the land they will be allocated in the future, these are actually not too big problems."

Emperor Chongzhen turned his gaze to Guo Yunhou: "What do you think of Guo Aiqing?"

Guo Yunhou said carefully: "I am telling you that you are the one who agrees with Lord Wen. Especially in the two places of North Korea and Ryukyu, since Your Majesty wants to move the people from these two places, the vacant land must be supplemented by the people of our Ming Dynasty."

After Emperor Chongzhen said aloud, he continued to ask: "What if they link the land, furniture, oxen and other things they allocated in the future to the work of the construction site, and the more they work, the more they get, what?"

Wen Tiren directly opposed: "Your Majesty, I think it's absolutely not possible!"

Emperor Chongzhen was now a little curious about how much he worked, was it normal to do more?

After Wen Tiren sorted out his thoughts, he continued: "Your Majesty first think about Leshi Grassland, Duogansi, Wusizang and other places.

It is normal for these places to have a large land and sparse population. If the people work harder and get more, each of them will allocate hundreds of acres of land?

Let’s not talk about whether the land is sufficient to allocate enough, but it is enough. At that time, there are still not many people in these places. What’s the difference from now?”

Emperor Chongzhen said in a little tangled manner: "What if the people were living a life of slumber with those who were originally in labor service?"

Wen Tiren said: "I will tell you that you would rather work less than get more than work more!

If the people go to work, if they don’t do well, they will just cut the land, farm tools, and oxen, or if they do well, they can give more wages, but this land cannot be more labored and earned more!”

Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then he felt a little surprised.

Indeed, everything else is easy to say, but the land must not be more laborious, otherwise it would be a good idea to fill such a large territory with people.

Don’t think that the people of the Ming Dynasty were idle and had nothing to do, and they only had to have enough conditions to take care of and support them when giving birth!

If these places are still vast and sparsely populated because of more labor and more land, then the living conditions will be much worse than those in the current Ming Dynasty.

Thinking of this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but envy his sons, like His Majesty Yang Er, who thought about completing everything in decades. It was really fun to pick up ready-made ones in the future!

But I don’t understand the big framework and I’m worried!

If you are a prodigal person, the great situation you have created with great effort will be over. According to the civil servants' selves, there is a high possibility that you will let yourself go after you die!

He was thinking about it in his heart, but suddenly he heard a noise coming from downstairs. Emperor Chongzhen's thoughts that he had no idea where he went was immediately pulled back.

When I looked downstairs, I saw a few guys dressed in wealthy families talking nonsense: "Listen to you! I followed my prince to build a country overseas, and each person gave a hundred acres of land! Give seeds, farm tools, and oxen!

In addition, each person has ten taels of silver for settlement! Ten taels of silver per person! Ten taels of silver that you have never seen in your life!”

Massage! The one who grabs the business is here!

Without looking further, Emperor Chongzhen could know what happened to these bastards. It must be the tycoons under the vassal kings who came to recruit the people!

He was so angry that these bastards had a memorial to replace their fiefdoms overseas. He was reluctant to hear Xu Xianchun and the others' rewards, so he came to dig out his own corner!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was unhappy, was about to close the door and let Xu Xianchun go and drive him away, but someone suddenly heard a loud voice among the people: "Is the baby during the confinement period?"

I don’t know which housekeeper of the royal palace shouted: “Even if you show up before going to sea, it’s also worth ten taels of silver!”

There was a burst of laughter among the people, but everyone was a little moved. The court assigned to these vassal kings to go out to sea with ten taels of silver, and the ones he followed with these vassal kings also had ten taels of silver. It seemed that there was no difference?

And they also give a hundred acres of land, seeds, farm tools and oxen. If you go there on your own initiative, it should be considered a direct descendant of the royal family, right?

Emperor Chongzhen suddenly didn't want to close the door and let Xu Xianchun go. It's interesting to see how they played first.

Just as Emperor Chongzhen was thinking, he heard another voice coming from downstairs: "If you are willing to go with the prince, take the household registration booklet to register here, and then wait for the prince to arrange a residence for you!"

But the people suddenly became unhurried.

It’s another thing to say, “I want to send us ten taels of silver? It’s too little, right?

The butler also looked at the people in front of him with a confused look on his face.

The momentum is quite high, but there is not a single one who actually took out the household registration booklet to register.

After a long time, I finally registered and talked about the few people, the housekeeper simply stopped registering and ran back in shame to report the situation to his prince.

Emperor Chongzhen winked at Xu Xianchun and ordered: "Find out why these people responded but were unwilling to register."

Xu Xianchun responded, and after getting up, he went down the restaurant. Emperor Chongzhen turned around and said to Wen Tiren and others: "Those vassal kings are also planning to recruit the people. If the progress of the court is not fast enough, I am afraid that it is not as much as the vassal kings recruited more?"

Guo Yunhou shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is too worried. As long as the conditions given by the court are the same as those of the vassal kings, the people will be more inclined to the court rather than the vassal kings.

Now these people are more likely to decide whether to follow the vassal kings or follow the court's arrangements after they are waiting for the court's disposal."

Emperor Chongzhen believed that because his image project in the folk has always been very good, compared with those scammers, his emperor is simply a saint.

After huh, Emperor Chongzhen said, "So, in Guo Aiqing's opinion, are these people willing to obey the arrangements of the court to work, or are they willing to follow the vassal kings overseas?"

Guo Yun said kindly: "I can't say it well when I report to Your Majesty. I will follow the court's arrangements and then distribute the land. It takes not a day or two, but a year or two years, or even longer.

However, following the arrangements of the court, most of them were arranged to Nurkandus, Leshi Grassland, Duogansi, Wusizang and other places, and finally they did not leave the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

If you follow the vassal kings to go to sea, you will likely be able to get your own land in thirteen years, but you will stay away from the Ming Dynasty and go overseas. You will never know if you will be back in your life.

The people must have weighed the pros and cons of it, but they just don’t know how to choose.”

After nodding, Emperor Chongzhen said, "Since that's the case, let's arrange these people first.

The first snowfall in the past twelve years has come. Let these people have a place to live first. If they are not good, they cannot freeze to death outside.

As for the arrangements for these people to go to the construction site to work, let’s talk about it later. The cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue will give me a charter."

As soon as Emperor Chongzhen said that, Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou looked a little ugly. How many people outside were there?

There are many other prefectures, tens of thousands or thousands of them, but where is this?

This is the capital of the Ming Dynasty! At least such a person must have one hundred or eighty thousand, right?

Arrange a place for these people, but you can’t freeze to death?

I'm afraid you are not making things difficult for me!

But then I thought about it, it’s right that these people were in the capital, but the capital was under the jurisdiction of Tianfu, and it was not directly managed by the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue. So, I have a headache?

It should be a headache for the prefect of Shuntian!

After Emperor Chongzhen and others ran away, the news that these people needed to arrange also reached Ni Yuanlu, the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture.

Ni Yuanlu wants to curse her.

It would be fine if I was sent to be the governor of Shuntian, because Emperor Chongzhen has always attached great importance to him, and the position of governor of Shuntian is also a key point, and there is a lot of room for growth in the future.

But how many such people are there in Shuntian Prefecture?

A total of 100,000!

Even if it is replaced by a hundred thousand pig, it is not easy to arrange it in just a few days, let alone a hundred thousand people!

Moreover, Shuntian Prefecture is just different from other prefectures!

It looks like the territory is large, but it is really impossible to find a place where one can truly accommodate 100,000 people.

In other words, you can find it and cover it, but it will definitely not be too late in time. At least it will not meet the requirements of Emperor Chongzhen to not freeze to death!

As for the request to not starve one person to death, Ni Yuanlu didn't take it seriously. After all, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Shuntian Prefecture had enough food reserves for all the people of Shuntian Prefecture to drink together for three years without any worries.

After thinking about it, Ni Yuanlu, who had a good place, simply turned her mind and went to the palace to see Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen stared at Ni Yuanlu in front of him and said with a smile: "So, have you put your ideas on the Jingying?"

Ni Yuanlu bowed and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "I know that I can't find any place to accommodate these 100,000 people in a while. It's true that you think of Jingying. Let's do this. Go back and organize the people first, and I'll order someone to notify Jingying to come out."

After Ni Yuanlu said goodbye, Emperor Chongzhen ordered people to pass Zhang Zhiji, the leader of the Beijing camp, into the palace.

Since the old British Duke Zhang Weixian passed away, Zhang Zhiji seemed to have grown up overnight. All the usual playboys disappeared, and his whole body was like the iron-blooded military commanders portrayed in the book.

However, the adjective of being handsome for only three seconds is also very suitable for Zhang Zhiji in front of Emperor Chongzhen. Zhang Zhiji seemed to be able to transform into the funny guy he used to fight Lin Handan at any time.

After hearing the request of Emperor Chongzhen, Zhang Zhiji responded seriously: "Yes, when I go back, I ordered the soldiers to vacate the camp so that the people can move in at night! At the same time, I will order people to prepare food!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Not only do people need to move in, the training in the Beijing camp cannot be stopped. At the same time, new tents and other things have to be built. Is there any difficulty?"

Zhang Zhiji said seriously: "Your Majesty, there is no difficulty! The soldiers of the Beijing camp must remember that the army that Your Majesty said is from the people, and everything is for the people's mission!"

Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "When you go back, see if the Jingying place is enough. If it is not enough, borrow the new army's place. 100,000 people must not make any mistakes!"

After Zhang Zhiji responded again, he bid farewell to Emperor Chongzhen and left the palace.

After returning to the Beijing camp, Zhang Zhiji directly ordered the personal soldiers around him: "Beat the drum and click the troops!"
