As the cold wind from Siberia moved south, Qingzhou City became much colder overnight, and then heavy snow fell from the sky, dyeing the streets and alleys white.

But even so, the soldiers in the Qingzhou camp are still conducting daily training. However, the difference is that in addition to practicing traditional arrays, today's soldiers are also practicing crawling forward.

"Your Majesty, the military workshop has delivered five thousand falcon rifles to us. According to Song Changping, the 60,000 people will be equipped by next fall."

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming patrol the military camp in the heavy snow. It has been a month since they returned from Dengzhou last time. This is also his normal patrol of the army at the end of the year.

"This progress is satisfying, but it is thanks to Li Chuyuan and the Dutch. This arms trade has given the military workshop sufficient funds." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Although it cannot be compared with the production efficiency of millions of rifles per year in European countries during World War II, he is already very satisfied with the current gun production efficiency of the military workshop in the Dayu Kingdom. After all, this is the first time that the military workshop has tried to produce a breech rifle.

Niu Ben looked excited. The breech rifle produced this time was finally named the Falcon Rifle, and the effect of equipping the army surprised the generals.

In contrast, although traditional queuing shooting is still necessary, they can adopt more flexible combat methods when equipped with Falcon rifles.

"This time the war between Li Chuyuan and the Merchant Council is really cheap." Niu Ben laughed, "But Master, although we have obtained a lot of money from Li Chuyuan, the war will continue until next autumn, and the damage to the south will probably be greater."

"Don't worry about this. There is not much industry in the south. It's just agriculture that flourishes. Besides, I have my own considerations in it." Xiao Ming's eyes were deep.

Niu Ben was a little puzzled, and he looked at Xiao Ming and waited for explanation.

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Do you still remember the government orders of the imperial court to move Kuan Township last year?"

"Of course I remember that after this decree was issued, the southern tyrant deliberately obstructed it, which caused very little effect." When he mentioned this Niu Ben, he seemed to be simply deceiving the emperor.

However, he was also very aware that the south had a weak concept of the royal family and had always disobeyed the imperial court's orders.

"That's it. If they don't let them beat each other up, how can I take the opportunity to move the people to Guandong?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Niu Ben suddenly realized that there are many people in Kanto now, and the people who rely on the six cities cannot completely control Kanto. Moreover, there is another country called Tsarist Russia in the north.

According to previous statistics from the imperial court, most of the population of the Great Yu Kingdom was concentrated in the south, and during the Northern War, many people fled to the south to take refuge, which made the southern population more.

"The emperor has a deep thought, so it is indeed necessary." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now a large number of secret guards are heading south and have been monitoring the Chu war. Generally speaking, the two sides are still ready to fight. There are some minor frictions, so he doesn't want to take action to consume his strength at this time.

"That's true. The fundamental reason why the Han people lost control of the north in all dynasties was that they did not allow the Han people to reproduce and survive on these lands. For me, the most terrible weapon was not muskets or cannons, but the weapon of reproduction. If you want to completely control Guandong, you must migrate the people over and have children hard. When every inch of the land in Guandong is Han people, the power of the Great Yu Kingdom can truly take root there."

Niu Ben was stunned for a moment and sighed, "The Emperor's words made the general suddenly realize. Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that foreign races occupied our land and reproduction so that they became stronger and stronger. Now we should return it to the other person's way."

Xiao Ming looked at the soldiers who were training and smiled. Why could Europeans occupy most of the world's land in the Age of Discovery? They rely on the migration of civilians in their own country. In this way, hundreds of years of reproduction have become a contemporary pattern.

Therefore, he had a grand plan in his mind, which was to set up a place and move the Han people to have children and reproduce.

With the idea that people can have as many children as possible in this era, he believes that as long as the living standards improve, the population of Dayu Kingdom will definitely increase explosively. At this time, coupled with the population base of Dayu Kingdom, it is not a dream to live a whole world.

He discussed this issue with Niu Ben in a vulgar way, and Xiao Ming returned to the palace after inspecting.

At this time, he formulated a government order to reward childbirth. Since the implementation of the government order, all people's families in Dayu who gave birth to three or more will be exempted from taxes for one year.

If the fourth one is born, the government office will give subsidies for the hardware dragon, and the fifth one will give the hardware dragon, and so on.

After deciding on this matter, Xiao Ming called Pang Yukun and Fiji over. He first mentioned the necessity of a fertility plan and then began to discuss the decree with the two.

"The three starts a bit low. Emperor. In fact, most of the people's families in the Great Yu Kingdom will have more than three offspring, because for them, offspring is labor, and it is also the basis for avoiding being bullied by other families with many offspring. I think the tax reduction and exemption will be adjusted to four, and the Golden Dragon subsidy will start from the fifth." Pang Yukun said.

Fiji nodded, "Shoufu Pang is right, the emperor, this will also reduce the burden on the treasury. After all, there are too many places to use money now."

Xiao Ming thought for a moment, and finally nodded, "Just do what you said. In addition, after the New Year, you will start preparing for the southward journey. After copying the merchants' parliament and the treasury of the southern tyrants, there will be plenty of treasury."

Pang Yukun and Fiji looked at each other, and it was obvious that the plan to go south did not win over the nobles.

In the past, the imperial court compromised against the nobles because they were not strong enough, but now they can deal with it. The most important thing is that the nobles in the south are more hostile to the royal family, which can be seen from the last time when Saxiang moved to Kuanxiang.

The two knew this issue well. When Xiao Wenxuan was in his seat, a group of officials from the southern wealthy family strongly advocated exemption of taxes from the southern wealthy family.

When this proposal was rejected, these southern tyrants simply resisted taxes and evaded taxes, which also led to the emptiness of the treasury of the Great Yu State.

In the eyes of the two, their emperor must hate these southern nobles more than them, and it is not surprising that they have made this decision.

"Yes, the emperor, I will prepare for this matter when I go back." The two bowed and said.

Xiao Ming nodded, and he looked at the heavy snow that was still falling, and his heart was full of ambition.

Now the industry in the Great Chongqing Kingdom is developing steadily, and railway construction is showing a good momentum. The only thing that is lacking today is the market for dumping goods.
