Chapter 874 The sea ban is lifted, the world is alive

Chapter 131: The sea ban is turned on, the world is alive

"For Prince Yao."

Seeing that it was impossible for Shikada to hide, Yun Zhao told him truthfully.

"In this way, Your Majesty is quite unwilling to let go of Nanyang?"

"I'm not as generous as you think."

"Your Majesty is far-sighted and uses Nanyang as a shield to protect the Ming Dynasty. I admire it deeply. However, whether the Nanyang Pingxian can last depends on how Your Majesty arranges it."

Yun Zhao said: "Old friends and relatives should not be abandoned, and brothers should not be separated. What can sir teach me?"

Shi Kefa laughed in a low voice and said, "Your Majesty dominates the world and has been invincible all his life. He has always been very confident in himself. Since he is worried this time, why not seek liberation from the sages?"

"If sages have laws, why can't the Chinese dynasty have a thousand years old?"

"After I retired, I like to talk with my neighbor and I have a good deal with my neighbor. Whenever I talk, my neighbor and I have to spare my three sons, and then I can make a move. I can't solve the problem of killing me, but in the end I always lose.

One day I asked the prince: Why?

The prince said: Those who can see the next step by hand talk about the place where they can see the next step, said: If you can see two steps, said: Meet, those who can see three parts, said: Complete. Those who can see four steps, said: Empty, those who can see five steps, said: Eight, those who can see six steps, said: Victory, those who can see seven steps, said: Ghost, those who can see more than eight steps rarely encounter opponents in the world, but those who can see ten steps outside are not something that ordinary people can argue about.

Judging from Your Majesty's arrangement, you have reached the realm of ability, but Your Majesty forgot that the arrangement of the world is different from the hands of the talk. A real man is particular about making a move without regrets, but Your Majesty's arrangement of the world is not the case.

In my opinion, Your Majesty is healthy and prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is no problem to control the Ming Dynasty for 30 years. Your Majesty has 30 years left. Why not make a move slowly? Even if you make mistakes occasionally, it is nothing that Xie Jiabaoshu occasionally has yellow leaves. Just do it again.

With these thirty years, with Your Majesty's wisdom, I believe you will be able to see a hundred years later. It would be too late to be calm at that time.

Why do you have to do your best in one battle?”

Yun Zhao lowered his head and pondered for a moment: "It seems that I am impatient."

Shi Kefa laughed and said, "Your Majesty is not impatient, but is worried that if this method fails, it will damage your Majesty's feelings with those old brothers back then. However, as the emperor's respect, it is rare to still care about the kindness of the past.

At least, I don’t have to worry about the disaster of dead rabbits and dogs cooking when I go to Yaozhou.”

The bamboo forest at Meihua Ridge is not big. Yun Zhao and Shi Kefa have passed through the valley shortly after walking. Xiaoxue is still sparsely falling, which quickly makes Yun Zhao and Shi Kefa who are not hooded turn white.

Shi Kefa seemed to have completely forgotten the crushing defeat of Yingtian Mansion, but was a high-spirited man full of fighting spirit.

As early as after Yun Zhao conferred the second prince Yun Xian as Prince Yao, Shi Kefa was trying hard to think about what Yun Zhao's purpose was.

At this time, the land reform in the Ming Dynasty had been completed, and people in the world had accepted it and were accustomed to the decree that everyone had land and that no one had acres of land should exceed a thousand.

The emperor absolutely did not destroy this hard-earned result and changed the course of Yi Zhang to restore the imperial system.

However, when Shi Kefa discovered that all those who were qualified to obtain fiefs overseas were founding fathers. After discovering this, Shi Kefa carefully considered what Yun Zhao had done since ascending the throne.

As a result, he found that behind every decree issued by Yun Zhao, there was a shadow of eliminating the privileged class.

However, not everyone is willing to make contributions for those famous and brave generals to follow the emperor to conquer the world. Some people always think that since they have paid, they should get the benefits they deserve.

Just a few medals and a few honorary titles, it is obvious that this cannot satisfy their appetite.

At this moment, Prince Yao appeared... Everything had a reasonable explanation.

Shi Kefa is preparing to be buried in Yaozhou!

This is the reward Yun Zhao got after negotiations with Shi Kefa.

Yun Zhao still believed this person’s promise, and he also believed that this person would definitely go to Nanyang and work in Yaozhou according to his plan.

When Yun Zhao left Meihualing, he left behind an official certificate and two silver notes, each of which was 50,000 silver dollars.

The money was left for Shi Kefa to settle the family. Fifteen days later, Prince Yao's subordinates came to welcome Prince Yao, who left the Ming Dynasty and went straight to Nanyang.

"Husband, have you stuffed Shi Kefa to Xian'er?"

Qian Duoduo was a little worried.

"It's not just a Shi Kefa, but also 26 people including Yan Yingyuan and Zuo Maodi, and 167 graduates supported by Yushan University and Yushan Academy."

"In this way, with Kong Xiu and others around Xian'er, the officials of Prince Yao's mansion are well matched, but it's not enough to have officials alone. I heard that there are no suitable people in Yaozhou except for savages.

Even if they migrate from South China, there are not many people in South China."

"Cruise people in the south of the Yangtze River."

"Cruise people? Zhang Shicheng's subordinates in the past have been almost ten years since His Majesty ascended the throne. Has the problem of these boat people not been solved yet?"

"It is not only Zhang Shicheng's old subordinates, but also the nine-subject fishermen left after Chen Youliang's defeat. It is not easy to solve their problems. The people of Jiangnan regard these boat people as inferior people. Even if the court forced them to equip them with land in Jiangnan, they were not good at farming. In addition, they were rejected by the locals in Jiangnan everywhere, so they did not live well.

Starting three years ago, a boatman leader Zhang Zhen wrote a bloody letter to me, claiming that he would rather go away than join the people of Jiangnan. I comforted him at that time and told him that within three years, I would find a new home for them.

Now, these more than 78,600 people can set off.”

Qian Duoduo lowered his head a little disappointed.

Yun Zhao said: "Are you worried that these people will become the source of chaos?"

Qian Duoduo said: "The hearts of these people are not in the Ming Dynasty."

Yun Zhao said: "Not every boatman can go to Yaozhou. One person with two children in the family, and two people with three children in the family, all young men and women."

"I'm still worried."

"There is nothing to worry about. The Lantian Dynasty did not feel sorry for them at all. On the contrary, these people's sense of belonging to the Lantian Dynasty is even stronger than that of ordinary people.

After all, it was us who ended their miserable fate, and it was us who gave them enough land, and it was also because of us that they could live ashore and no longer act as prostitutes or beggars.

The Shenzheng Department investigated these people and found that they were very enthusiastic about re-expanding territory for the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not only the only people who go to Yaozhou. Our Ming Dynasty is now a large population and a large place. In addition, when a farmer is not able to make a lot of money, many young and strong farmers are willing to leave the countryside and come to the city to find a place for themselves to settle down.

I have ordered government officials from all over the country to recruit these people, hoping that they can go to Yaozhou, where gold is everywhere, where they make a fortune."

Qian Duoduo widened his eyes and said, "Is there gold in Yaozhou?"

Yun Zhao nodded and said, "You can't imagine that there is so much gold."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. How could I lie to my people?"

"How many people, the first batch of people should be as many as 150,000. After these people are settled in Yaozhou, the court will encourage the extra farmers in the countryside to go to Nanyang and Yaozhou every year. It is estimated that in ten years, the population of Yaozhou should not be less than one million."

Yun Zhao's plan sounds very beautiful. There is gold in Yaozhou, which is very certain. However, Yun Zhao knows nothing about where the gold is.

Anyway, the slogan was not drawn up by him. After listening to several reports on Yaozhou, Zhang Guozhu ordered officials from various prefectures to formulate it.

Even if those who went to Yaozhou and did not find gold, they would probably earn a large amount of gold and silver in Yunxian's hands just by working, so this was not considered cheated.

Qian Duoduo has several warehouses, one of which is in Yangzhou.

Yun Zhao saw that the gold and silver inside were piled up like a mountain. This woman was no longer the little woman who secretly embezzled Yun Zhao's ten taels of silver and was jealous of her.

If all the gold and silver in her hands were released, it would likely affect the current gold and silver exchange ratio in the Ming Dynasty.

Fortunately, this money will be spent by purchasing goods and hiring manual labor. Therefore, there are only benefits and no harm to the Ming market. People will only discover without realizing that prices have risen and the gold and silver in their hands seem to have depreciated.

These are all small problems. In order to promote trade, the currency itself should have a slow depreciation process, which the people will get used to in the future.

Yun Xian took away the three thousand Yun's private soldiers led by Yun Wen, and Yun Yang transferred 5,000 descendants of bandits who volunteered to become Yun's private soldiers from the Imperial Guards. They will take two hundred giant merchant ships with the group of boatmen and farmers who volunteered to make money in Yaozhou first to Nanyang, and then go to Yaozhou all the way.

The loss of hundreds of thousands of people is nothing to the Ming Dynasty, which currently has a total population of 120 million. In Yun Zhao's plan, the densely populated Jiangnan, Central Plains, Guanzhong and Shu should also draw a large number of people to go to the large area of ​​land that the Ming army has worked hard to capture.

The purpose of this is not only to reduce the agricultural population of the Ming Dynasty, but also to effectively squeeze the living space of other ethnic populations.

In terms of population, Yun Zhao believes that in less than ten years, the Ming people who like to have children will definitely give him another 70 to 80 million people.

According to Yun Zhao's preliminary estimate, the Ming Dynasty must have a population of more than 1.5 billion to firmly occupy the vast land of the Ming Dynasty. Yun Zhao believes that this goal should be seen in his lifetime.

With the departure of this group of people, a new round of prosperity will emerge in the market in the Ming Dynasty. After all, Qian Duoduo has spent all his money and is buying things to help his son. Even because of Qian Duoduo's sincere love for his son, this should not be a bad thing.
