After conveying the general's military order, the deputy general He Cheng looked a little ugly. He disagreed with the general's order to allow the navy to dock.

According to the Ming military rules, after the navy landed, the army was responsible for their food, accommodation and supplies.

Now, I and my group of people still live in the straw shed, and there is an extra place to provide these pirates.

Jinhu didn't explain, but just looked at the boat with deep drought and sighed.

The giant boat was moored on the sea surface of the sea. Soon, many sampans were put down from the boat. The sampans were filled with people. The people on it rowed the oars vigorously, and after a while, they reached the shore.

The first person who jumped off the sampan was a captain. He first saw the colonel on He Cheng's shoulder and was stunned for a moment, then he then looked at Jin Hu in a casual military uniform.

He hurriedly sorted out his military appearance and ran to Jinhu quickly to kneel on one knee and said, "Liu Ting, the 9th Squadron of the Second Fleet of the Ming Navy, and the Captain of the Haifeng Captain of the Third Transportation Team, has seen the general."

Jin Hu glanced at Liu Ting and said, "What is it on the boat?"

Liu Ting shouted: "Labor!"

Jin Hu said coldly: "A certain family remembers that the Ming army is not allowed to participate in slave trafficking. Captain Liu, are you breaking the law by knowing the law?"

Liu Ting hurriedly said, "The general doesn't know that these people are not slaves, but laborers. They are ordered to go to Ryukyu to collect saltpeter. The edible water on the ship is insufficient. When he saw the general appearing in Liaodong, he wanted to ask the general for some edible water and food so that these laborers would not die at the sea."

Jinhu frowned and said, "Did you never count edible water and food when transporting labor?"

Liu Ting smiled bitterly and said, "As long as the North Koreans see the Ming ship recruiting workers, they will squeeze into the ship without any chance..."

Jinhu's pupils contracted and he whispered: "Is the situation on the Korean Island not good?"

Liu Ting nodded and said, "Hell on earth..."

He Cheng asked in confusion: "Didn't it mean that there are not many people in North Korea?"

Liu Ting said to He Cheng again: "Jiannu took away all the things that could be taken away. The Japanese pirates who were reluctant to leave captured most of the strong labor among them, and most of the remaining ones were the elderly, weak, women and children who were no one wanted.

In that winter of the past…”

When Liu Ting said this, he stopped talking.

"Why don't you say it?" Jin Hu asked.

Liu Ting pointed to his warship and said, "The supervisor on the ship has issued a closure order."

He Chengdao: "Since only the elderly, weak, women and children are left here, do you still take them to Ryukyu to dig saltpeter?"

Liu Ting smiled and said, "The main reason is that they want to live. There are a lot of food in the Ryukyu area, a lot of wild fruits, and there are fish in the sea..."

This was just a simple contact. Jinhu provided Liu Ting with 200 bags of food and 300 kilograms of jerky meat. When Liu Ting was about to leave, he also gave him a bag of strong wine, which made Liu Ting overjoyed.

He was not good at staying on the land for a long time, so he took the goods back with a sampan. However, when the sampan came, he brought two Korean women of good looks to Jinhu.

Jin Hu did not refuse, but He Cheng frowned again.

"North Korea is basically done after experiencing this disaster."

This is a sentence that Liu Ting left when he left.

Jin Hu was deeply touched by this sentence. When he was in the southwest, such scenes were very common, and many of them were fabricated by him.

Since the rise of the Ming Dynasty, his powerful destructive power has caused the surrounding countries that have not yet been sound to fall apart in an instant. It would have been fine if the Ming Dynasty only completed new social transformation on its own territory.

Unfortunately, Yun Zhao's eyes never fell just in China, and his eyes were always on the globe in his big study.

He was very dissatisfied with the social status of Asia. The Ming Dynasty had already stood at the peak of civilization, but around him, there were many ethnic groups that were basically in primitive society.

The cost of transforming these ethnic groups was too high, and there might not be a good result. Therefore, he adopted a laissez-faire attitude, and everything was given priority to the needs of the Ming Dynasty.

From this point of view, Jin Hu believed that Yun Zhao was the tyrant comparable to Genghis Khan.

The Ming Dynasty is now rapidly moving towards prosperity.

He recovered his vitality faster than any new dynasty. In just five years, the grain produced by the people of the Ming Dynasty not only achieved self-sufficiency, but also had surplus.

During these five years, the Lantian Dynasty, like other new dynasties, adopted a light tax and low tax attitude towards the people.

However, the income of the Lantian Dynasty did not lose any amount of it.

Many knowledgeable people in the Ming Dynasty knew the reasons. Yun Zhao just passed on the domestic losses to the surrounding countries.

The Ming Dynasty was too big and the population was too large. When 160 million people needed to reduce taxes and the income of the state could not be reduced, then the situation faced by neighboring countries would be in a devastating mode.

So far, Jinhu has not seen Yun Zhao's intention to let go of the surrounding ethnic groups.

In the southwest, too many people have participated in the team resisting the tyranny of the Ming Dynasty.

Unfortunately, these resistance forces are too weak. In the face of the powerful Ming army, their courage and resistance seem insignificant.

Now, the people's livelihood in the Ming Dynasty has entered a formal state, and the people in the Ming Dynasty have restored their production and homeland. So, at this time, should the emperor consider relaxing the oppression of foreign races?

Otherwise, if you continue to exploit this for a long time, there will be serious consequences.

Uszang is finished, Mongolia is finished, Jiannu is finished, North Korea is finished, Annan is finished, and the Western Regions will probably be finished soon after Xia Wanchun, a young man with a heart of iron, goes there. If Jinhu does not expect it, Japan will be completely finished if it is not done for ten years.

Jin Hu believed that the powerful army of the Ming Dynasty could do nothing to his neighbors or enemies, but the consequences of doing so were very troublesome. Once the Ming Dynasty's power in these places was weakened, resistance would appear like a prairie fire.

When they all united, Jinhu didn't think this was a good thing for the Lantian Empire.

The gap in force has never been a reason for the rebels to fail. Back then, Wu Zu, Daze Township, had only wooden sticks and forks in his hands, and they ended the glorious Qin Dynasty.

Jin Hu thought about it for a long time on the beach and finally took up his pen to advise the emperor, hoping that the emperor could reduce the exploitation of the surrounding ethnic groups and shine the brilliance of the Ming Emperor on everyone.

Yun Zhao was very satisfied with the outlook for the five-year financial report submitted by the Ambassador of the Treasury.

However, the rural production process investigation report submitted by Zhang Guozhu, who also served as a senior manager, made Yun Zhao very dissatisfied.

In his opinion, the rural situation in the Ming Dynasty was still not good, the situation of slash-and-burn farming still exists, the situation of low productivity is still common, and the contradiction between land output and manpower investment is also common.

What made Yun Zhao most dissatisfied was that the farmers in the Ming Dynasty had not as strong as he imagined that they were willing to change their living conditions.

They can obviously go to a place with less crowded population to cultivate more land and gain more profits, but they are unwilling to leave their overcrowded hometowns and would rather cultivate a small part of the farmland to make a living.

If everyone refuses to leave their hometown, then what is the use of the army taking so much land?

"Increase the support for the people who voluntarily go to the reclamation area to reclaim the people, and increase publicity for the most dazzling stars among the reclamation people. I hope the people of the Ming Dynasty can understand that when they stay in their hometown, they can only suffer poverty for the rest of their lives. If they leave their hometown, they can gain a prosperous life in a short time.

In addition, officials and merchants are allowed to obtain more than 1,000 mu of land in the reclamation area, and allow them to dispose of the grain produced in the reclamation area by themselves, and allow them to freely plant cash crops on the land in the reclamation area."

After receiving the document issued by Yun Zhao, Zhang Guozhu quickly came to the big study without stopping for a moment, holding the document and said to Yun Zhao: "Your Majesty, are you going to cause trouble to my Ming Dynasty?"

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and said, "Is there any problem?"

Zhang Guozhu swallowed and said, "The restrictions on one thousand acres of land cannot be relaxed. If they are relaxed, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will invest all their money in their hands on farmland. This is a good thing they have coveted for a long time.

Once all the money is put on the farmland, then the commerce and industry that have just flourished in the Ming Dynasty will be greatly affected. I think that when the grain in the Ming Dynasty can already be self-sufficient, the development of commerce and industry should be given priority.

As for the current world situation, commerce and industry are the main driving force for social development, and we cannot lose the big one because of small things."

Yun Zhao shook his head and said, "When the great wealth of food appears, there is no motivation to continue to move forward in business and industry. After all, many things can only be enjoyed when people have enough food and clothing.

Nowadays, we have too much land left, and the people live too concentratedly. Now we cannot see the disadvantages of too many people and cities that cannot bear it. When the Ming Dynasty saw cities with a population of more than one million, you will find that commerce and industry will naturally flourish.

However, there must be one premise, that is, agricultural products are already extremely rich."

Zhang Guozhu shook his head firmly and said, "Your Majesty, I am advocating the congress to convene a representative meeting. We must discuss this issue carefully. I am very worried that once this policy is introduced, it will change the current stability of our Ming Dynasty."

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It's just that our last five-year plan has come to a conclusion. It is very necessary for us to examine the next five-year plan and whether we have to follow the old trajectory to continue."

Zhang Guozhu said: "What your Majesty said is that we have worked hard for five years. It is indeed time to correctly view the results of the work in the past five years. Your Majesty, is the deadline for this National People's Congress still set in October?"

Yun Zhao looked at Zhang Guozhu and smiled, "You must have been waiting for this day for a long time, right?"
