This time Qi Jiguang led three armies back from the east, bringing a total of more than 200,000 people.

This more than 200,000 population does not include the number of troops, and most of them are women and children from the Eastern Abdication and the Mongolian Yuan.

Of course, there are about 80,000 Han women, who were all robbed and robbed to Liaodong as slaves.

After destroying the Eastern Abduct, they all chose to return to the pass and were unwilling to stay in Liaodong.

Qi Jiguang knew that they had suffered a lot under the Eastern Abductees, so he did not refuse to take them back.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han people in the north had a population of about 45 million, and they massacred cities everywhere with the invasion of the Mongol Yuan.

In the end, there were only 7 million people left in the north, which means that 80% of the northern Han population was massacred by the Mongol Yuan.

After Emperor Hongwu Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew the Mongolian Yuan, the population of China began to slowly recover, and by the Wanli period, the population reached about 140 million.

However, with the peasant uprising and the eastern invasion, and natural disasters, the population in the late Ming Dynasty was only more than 70 million, and half of it was lost.

When the emperor asked the barbarian women what to do, Sun Chuanting, the new cabinet chief assistant, stepped forward to salute:

"Your Majesty, after the world returns to unity, our Ming Dynasty will be vast and rich in resources. Many places are deserted and have a serious shortage of population.

I believe that they can become the engine of population growth in the Ming Dynasty and should allocate them to the strong Ming army soldiers. Now that there is no war, they should seize the time to create humans for the Ming Dynasty!”

"Hahaha... Lord Sun said, I'm going to discuss it!"

"Wei Minister's Interview"

"Wei Minister's Interview"

…………

OK, Sun Chuanting's suggestion was immediately approved by most civil and military officials!

Even Zhu Youjian nodded, and he had this idea, so he smiled and said:

"Sun Aiqing, why don't you take the lead first and choose a few women from the Yuan Dynasty and Dongkai to be concubines tomorrow, and try to give birth to a few young Suns next year? Haha..."

"Hahaha……"

"Wei Minister's Interview"

...

Zhu Youjian's words caused a burst of laughter from all the civil and military officials in the court. Someone immediately agreed, which made Sun Chuanting's face flushed and said hurriedly:

"Your Majesty, I am in my fifties. How can I have this ability? You should let those young people give birth to you!"

"Ha ha……"

Sun Chuanting's words made the civil and military officials laugh again.

Today is a good day, and the world is finally peaceful. Everyone is in a good mood. It is rare to be so happy in the court.

For everyone's joke, the censor Qingliu impeached them and roared in the court.

After the ministers calmed down, Zhu Youjian said:

"Back to the point, a total of 120,000 barbarian women came to the capital this time, and I decided to give marriages to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition.

The order was issued that each soldier of the Eastern Expedition would be rewarded with a barbarian woman. If the Han women who returned from Liaodong were not married, they could also choose the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition as their husbands. All the soldiers of the three armies would be on vacation for one month.

In addition, I want to pardon the world. All refugees who were arrested for making trouble in the early stage because they were not full of food were pardoned by prisoners sentenced to less than five years.

Those who don’t have a place to go can work on the farm or work in the factory. No department is allowed to deduct their wages!”

Now that it is amazing, not only will the meritorious soldiers be rewarded with gold and silver, but also the wife of them.

And the world is forgiven. As long as it is not a person with great sins, all people will be forgiven and released from prison and work will be arranged.

All the ministers knew that the Ming Dynasty was short of people now, so they all gave and fully supported the emperor's wise decision.

The bandits are just to make trouble to have enough food. As long as they are not hungry, the Chinese people are still very well-behaved.

Once the people are mobilized, the revival of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a dream, because the Chinese people are the most creative and hard-working people in the world.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I haven't finished speaking yet. I will stop the court for three days from tomorrow to celebrate the reunification of the Ming Dynasty.

Today I will hold a banquet at Fengtianmen to celebrate the merits of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and all the civil and military officials of the court will participate in the dinner together.

Cao Zhengchun immediately sent a carriage to a few Yichun Buildings in the capital, and took the geishas who could sing and dance, so that they could amuse everyone!"

"Abide by the order!"

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly took the order and left.

There are such good things every year, and today there are so many. After the ministers reacted, they all happily lie on the ground and started kowtowing and thanking each other!

"Thank you Lord, my emperor's wiseness!"

"My dear friends, please be calm."

As early as the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di held a "big banquet" in Fengtian Hall, and rewarded all officials with meals together.

The preparations for the grand banquet were carried out by Shangbao Temple at that time. First, the dragon chaise was placed in the center of the hall, the yellow chaise was laid, and twenty-four people were arranged to serve.

There are nine small "bands" and dancers in the hall. Outside the hall, there are also artists such as singing, dancing, acrobatics for the emperor and other ministers to enjoy.

Shangbao Temple ordered Guanglu Temple, which is responsible for the meal, to set up a wine pavilion on the west side of the dragon chaise, to set up a dining pavilion on the east side of the dragon chaise, and to set up a delicious pavilion on the east side of the wine pavilion and the east side of the dining pavilion. The imperial banquet is placed in the east and west sides of the dragon chaise.

The crown prince's seat was on the east side of the dragon throne, facing the west, while the kings and ministers sat in turn from south to north to east and west.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, this time he was hosting the ministers, and he had no money!

There were hundreds of civil and military personnel in the court, and at least one thousand taels of silver was needed to be eaten in this meal, so Chongzhen couldn't afford it.

After the court meeting, the Taihe Hall of Fengtianmen immediately became busy again. With the help of the Jinyiwei, the eunuchs began to place tables and chairs.

Zhu Youjian returned to the Qianqing Palace first. He knew that it would take a long time to prepare and could not sit there and watch the eunuchs placing tables and chairs.

As soon as I returned to Qianqing Palace, a clear system prompt sound suddenly came from my mind:

"Ding, the system will be updated automatically, and 200,000 points will be consumed!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining three million points!"

"Ding, the total host's points have reached 8.2 million points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a lottery draw, because the system has been updated and several new features have been added. This lottery requires three million points."

"Damn, it takes 200,000 points for an automatic update? What's the difference between this and robbery? If I don't have war points, it's equivalent to spending two million taels of white silver."

Hearing that the automatic update consumed 200,000 points, although Zhu Youjian was very rich, he still felt very distressed.

"Ding, didn't you just reward three million points? The host didn't lose money."

"Oh, by the way, where are these three million points coming from? It's a bit inexplicable!"

"Ding, get rid of the Kong family's rewards, the influence of the Kong family in the Ming Dynasty is definitely not comparable to that of bandits!"

"Damn it, you can get three million points after the Kong family. This is really worth it!"

When Zhu Youjian heard that he had three million points after getting rid of the Kong family, he was overjoyed.

But as soon as he was proud, the system gave him a blow.

"Ding, host, don't be too proud too early. The consequences of eliminating the Kong family have not yet appeared, and there will definitely be a disaster!"

"Ah...No way!"

Zhu Youjian knew that the system would not lie to him, but he really couldn't think of any consequences.

More than 200 juren were sent out to brainwash literati. Isn’t that enough?

Those families who are influential in the local area will definitely try their best to discredit the Kong family.

"Brother of the system, tell me quickly what problems will be. I will eliminate it in the bud!"

Zhu Youjian also wanted to ask what was going on in the system, but the system was no longer in movement.
Chapter completed!
