Sun Yuanhua, Minister of War, Minister of Revenue, Yang Sichang, Minister of Revenue, and Secretary of Transport, Zhang Pu, spoke successively. The issues of border defense, transportation and administrative region division were concluded one after another. Now there is only the problem of territory development. Zhu Cijiu left this topic to Zhang Cai, Minister of Commerce.

After everyone praised the new Jiuzhou place names, Zhu Cijiu raised his hands, pressed them for a moment, and then said: "Okay, okay, there is another last problem, which is the problem of territory development. Let's talk about it first."

Hearing this, Zhang Cai stood up quickly, saluted Zhu Cijing respectfully, then picked up the ash pole, pointed to the map and said: "My emperor's approval, Weichen had visited several Xibodusi, the ward and Qianhu Institute in June this year to learn about the situation. Weichen felt that the strategy of developing the new territory of this ward was quite successful. The income of mineral development alone was unknown. The rich mineral deposits in the Siberian Plateau were simply beyond imagination.

, silver mines, copper mines, iron mines, coal mines and petroleum mines all have amazing reserves. Now almost every two thousand households can find one mineral deposit, and the total number of mines has reached a terrifying 500. Especially the coal mines there are basically open-pit mines, which are extremely convenient to mine. Most of the coal sold in various parts of the Ming Dynasty are mined from Siberia. In addition, the wood, animal skins, precious medicinal materials, and precious food industries are also well developed.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Cijing nodded with relief and said, "Yeah, this is all Chu Yang's credit. I'll receive it first, don't just say good things and give me some suggestions."

Zhang Cai heard this and said embarrassedly: "This, the emperor, the empress, believes that the manpower there is still insufficient. Now many mineral deposits are seriously insufficient in mining, and there is also insufficient cultivation of farmland. If there is sufficient personnel, the income can at least double! "

Zhu Cijing didn't expect these questions. He couldn't help but ask curiously: "Oh, there is also such a thing. A thousand households have five or six thousand men, women, young and old, and there will be insufficient personnel?"

Zhang Cai had learned about this in detail. He explained: "There are too many things to make money there. Raising deer or even hunting a person a day will make more than one tael of silver. Therefore, there are basically no people who can find heavy physical work like mining. They are all young and strong in their own garrison, and no one can pay attention to the harvest of farming. Nowadays, the garrison is amazing. Each household earns dozens of taels of silver a month, which is considered to be less. Basically, it is hundreds of taels, which is more than a county magistrate! "

Now it was Zhu Cijing's turn to be embarrassed. Although he continued to increase the salary of officials after he ascended the throne, the salary of officials at all levels increased by at least three or four times, their base was too low, and no matter how much he turned a county magistrate into a month, it would only cost dozens of taels per month.

He couldn't help but touch his forehead and explained: "Well, this is a problem. The speed of business development in the Ming Dynasty was still a bit slow. The taxes could not keep up, so the salaries of officials could not be increased. Now the salaries of officials should be quite acceptable compared to ordinary people. As for Tunwei, most of their families are fighting for the Ming Dynasty. It would not be too much to let them earn more, right?"

What he said is true. The average income of ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty is only about ten taels per month. Those who have hundreds of taels are rich, and the military households in the guards are just an exception.

However, Zhang Cai focused on "The speed of business development in the Ming Dynasty was still a little slower." When he heard this, he immediately said in panic: "I am incompetent, please punish the emperor."

Zhu Cijing waved his hand quickly and said, "Shouxian, you can't blame you for this. You have only been in office for a while, and the Ming Dynasty has been fighting for wars. Although the territory is expanding rapidly, the development has been delayed. Didn't I decide to stop and take a break? I just want to develop the newly occupied territory and increase the source of taxes so that everyone can enjoy the benefits of expanding territory. Tell me, what suggestions do you have?"

Zhang Cai heard this and shouted, and then said solemnly: "The emperor, the empress, think that in order to develop Siberia, even Nuergan, Western Regions and other places, a large population migration must be carried out, and the excess labor in the Central Plains and even the South can be moved so that the full development can be achieved."

Large population migration is a good way. Zhu Cijiu said with great interest: "Tell me, how many people need to be moved, how can the people voluntarily move there?"

When Zhang Cai heard this, he said with a strange expression: "Your Majesty, as long as you give me a decree, the people will pass by. As for the population, I believe that the Siberian Plateau alone requires at least five million people, and the Siberian Plain is similar. There are also the two places in the Western Regions that need at least two million people to move to each other!"

Is it forced to move? Zhu Cijiu shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the "Ming Dynasty's Law of Consciousness" just implemented stipulates that ordinary people also have personal freedom and cannot go back on their word and change their orders every day."

Zhang Cai heard this and said in embarrassment: "Emperor, most of the people of the Ming Dynasty like to guard one acre of three parts of the land, live a peaceful life with their wives and children, keeping them away from their hometowns and voluntarily moving there. It's very difficult."

Zhu Cijing heard this and thought for a while, then said, "This is not very difficult, let me deal with this problem. Chuyang, tomorrow you will give the order to transfer the Guanning Army, Liaodong Army, Dongjiang Army, Dingliao Army back to Liaodong, Tianxiong Army and Zhongyong Army back to Beidaying, and Sun Chuanting led the Qin army first, the First Border Defense Army and the Second Border Defense Army first guarded in Wushan City, the Third Border Defense Army to Yenihe River Basin to guard all the basins and Tungus City, the Fourth Border Defense Army to the Ob River Basin to guard all the basins and Rem City, and the First Expeditionary Force First and Second Expeditionary Force Second Expeditionary Force First back to Kandahar to guard all the basins and garrison.

Upon hearing this, Sun Yuanhua quickly stood up and bowed: "There is a good minister who obeys the order."

Zhu Cijiu waved his hand and signaled him to sit down. Then he said to Yang Sichang: "Wulnerable, tomorrow you will start submitting a list of officials at all levels in the New Kyushu to the cabinet, and strive to dispatch all officials at all levels by November."

When Yang Sichang heard this, he burst into cold sweat. These were thousands of officials. They were selected to take office within a month, which was a death. However, the emperor had already issued the oral orders, so he had to stand up and bow firmly: "The minister obeyed the order."

Zhu Cijiu nodded, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said to Zhang Pu: "Qiandu, please discuss with Meng Hou later. Tomorrow, the relevant personnel will be sent to the Western Regions and the Siberian Plain for inspection, and to make plans for the canal and railway routes before the beginning of next spring."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pu quickly stood up and bowed: "There is a good minister who obeys the order."

Zhu Cijing nodded, waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said to Zhang Cai: "Shouxian, go back and write an article, and write about how easy it is to make money in Siberia. The best place to write is full of gold, and I will give it to me tomorrow."

What does this mean? Zhang Cai stood up dizzyly and bowed: "Weichen obeyed the order."

Zhu Cijing didn't explain this to him, because he would soon understand without explanation.

The next day, the Beijing News used the entire page to report how wealthy Siberia was, how vast the territory was, how surplus land was, and how sparse the population was.

On the third day, the Beijing News used a full page to report how easy it is to make money in Siberia. Some people do it when they go to work one tael of silver a day. They can even catch a sable on the road. They can get ten taels of silver at random, and Zhang Cai’s article is included.

On the fourth day, the Beijing News published the Ministry of Revenue’s "New Jiuzhou Recruitment Regulations", which are extremely attractive in the various preferential policies.

For example, after registering, ordinary farmers can get arable land that is equal to the existing arable land area, and it is exempted from tax for three years.

For example, ordinary farmers can apply for additional arable land. As long as you pay taxes, you can apply for as much as you apply, and it will be half a tax within three years!

Finally, I also said, the quota is limited, so you need to register as soon as possible.

The entire Ming Dynasty was sensation again. There were many people who were unwilling to leave their hometowns, but there were many people who wanted to make money and live a good life. As soon as the Beijing News reported, a wave of exploring the New Jiuzhou was immediately set off in the Ming Dynasty.

How can you make a fortune if you don’t go out and try it out? This is the latest popular saying among the people this year.

Of course, this was also distributed by Zhu Cijiu, the spy of the Jinyiwei!
