After threatening, the weak monks finally made a compromise. Yixin Group paid 3.4 million hectares of land. Liu Er organized the monks to sign a land transfer contract while sending someone to the emperor. ( ．com provides the latest chapter reading}

At this time, the refugees on the south bank gradually made a choice about their destiny. Nearly 210,000 households and 600,000 households chose to stay in Jiangnan, and the other 250,000 households and 400,000 households and 400,000 chose India. Most of the people who stayed in Jiangnan were with their families. They would rather choose to live here plainly than go to the unknown field as a farmer. Although the other 250,000 households only had 400,000, most of them were bachelors who were fed and not hungry. The family and relatives had already died on the way to escape. There was no excessive nostalgia here, and they would rather hide thousands of miles away and start over.

According to the original plan, the people who went to India could get fifty acres of land each, but because there were fewer people than the original plan, and the land obtained from the monks was more than the original plan, each person could get one hundred and fifty acres of land. If it were so many people, this would be considered a landlord's house. In addition, the monks also contributed a large amount of grain, which was enough for the 400,000 people to eat until the spring of the next year. As long as they arrived in India, they would not starve to death within a year. The court gave them two taels of silver, which was considered to give them the silver to buy seeds and hire one or two Indian tenants. After all, there were many untouchables in India. As long as they were given a bowl of rice a day, after a year, hiring a few people might not even cost one tael of silver, which was enough to deal with it.

The refugees who were arranged to go to India were divided into two groups. One group of people sat directly in the South Ocean. The Oriental Navy's fleet set sail, and the other group was not so lucky. The Oriental and Beiyang Navy's fleet had only more than 500 ships, and even the supply ships were only 800. It was already at the limit to carry 100,000 people at one time. Therefore, most people still had to walk.

The refugees who stayed there continued to wait on the south bank. At this time, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture had arrived in Changshu and met the emperor. This time, Zhu Jun summoned the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture to come to resettle these refugees. He meant to build an industrial and commercial new city on a piece of land near the coast of Songjiang Prefecture. The name has been set, called Shanghai. This new city completely imitated the model of opening a district. In fact, as early as a year ago, the address of the new city considered by Zhu Jun had already been established by Songjiang Prefecture. Now it is just to build this opening district to build a new town, and send people to urgently build a private shed and build a factory.""

The prefect of Songjiang was named Li Zhilong, a native of Qiantang. A few years ago, he was an orphan from Jiangnan. He was assigned by Zhu Jun to study in Haidu. After graduation five years ago, he was assigned to Shuntian Prefecture's office as a souvenir. He soon stood out among many souvenirs and became the chief officer of the judge of Shuntian Prefecture. After Jiangnan was restored, the court needed a large number of officials to go to Jiangnan for jurisdiction. Because Li Zhilong was proficient in the laws of the Ming Dynasty and studied factory construction in the opening area, he originally learned a lot of knowledge in the college. He was very capable in Shuntian Prefecture and was appointed as the prefect of Songjiang.

Now the valley education orphanage college is the most open college in the Ming Dynasty. It not only offers many courses, but also specializes in one subject, and its textbooks are more practical. It has now been changed to a Royal Academy, and its popularity is higher than that of Yangming College, Donglin College, and Science College. In fact, after Zhu Jun brought in batches of orphans eight years ago, it has now been flooded with major yamen and military institutions in the Ming Dynasty. These people are from poor backgrounds, willing to endure hardships when they were studying, and are willing to work hard after they came out. Most of them have reached a good position, but they are different from others. Others may only respect the emperor, but for them, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is their reborn parents, and they are the direct descendants of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"My memory, Li Zhilong bows to the emperor, long live my emperor." Li Zhilong did not have any other local officials to be afraid of Zhu Jundi, but instead gave a solemn salute as if he had seen his father he had not met for a long time.

"Get up, don't be polite. Are you in the Royal Academy? Which period of the study course is it?" Zhu Jun had seen a talisman tied to Li Zhilong's waist. This was the school emblem of the Royal Academy. Zhu Jun personally drafted it, meaning the great roc spread its wings. From then on, students who have graduated or not graduated are willing to tie this talisman around their waists to show that they are the "son of the emperor."

Li Zhilong stood up and looked at Zhu Jun deeply. He always regarded the emperor as his elder, but now he is an energetic young official, but the emperor seems to be very young and always feels a little uncomfortable. Li Zhilong bowed and said, "Report to the emperor, I am a member of the first government affairs department."

Zhu Jun asked the eunuch to bring Jindun and asked Li Zhilong to sit down and talk. Li Zhilong sat sideways. Zhu Jun said, "How many years have Li Aiqing been the governor of Songjiang?"

“One year.

After the restoration, the Ministry of Personnel needed more than 1,000 places for officials above the seventh rank and above, and was still in the eighth rank chief officer in Shuntian Prefecture. It was just because there were too many local officials needed. The Wei minister made some achievements in Shuntian Prefecture on weekdays. He was promoted to four levels in a row and was directly promoted to Songjiang Prefecture."

Zhu Junhe nodded. The young official looked steady and also had a good impression of him. He continued to ask: "Zhejiang has set up five major opening areas, four in Guangdong, and four in Jiangsu. One of them is in Songjiang Prefecture. I ask you. What is the Songjiang opening area now?"

Li Zhilong said: "Songjiang is adjacent to the estuary of the Yangtze River. It has an excellent geographical location. Although it is not as exciting as the Suzhou Development Zone. However, it is still good compared to the other two Development Zones in the province. Now all the infrastructure of the Songjiang Development Zone has been built. There are thousands of merchants in the area. They either have sole proprietorships to run factories or work with others. There are now more than 1,34 factories in the area of ​​more than 1,000 craftsmen. The rest of the small workshops are added almost every day. Weichen is really ashamed. He cannot know the specific number of the area. It is still necessary to spread the information about the district officials."

Li Zhilong licked his lips with unsatisfactory intentions and continued: "Although Songjiang is in a good geographical location, unfortunately the population is thin. There are many workshops in the district and the people on the work site there are nearly 200,000. However, the labor population still seems to be too small. Many factories post daily notices to recruit workers. Your Majesty. I heard that many refugees are still on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Why not migrate and divert some to Songjiang Prefecture?"

Before Zhu Jun could speak, Li Zhilong made a request first. Zhu Jun couldn't help but smile. Songjiang Prefecture was not a big mansion like Suzhou. Due to the court's policy of banning the sea for hundreds of years, the population of this area adjacent to the sea was less than one-fifth of that of Suzhou Prefecture. Now that the opening of a zone and a port suddenly became too tight, Zhu Jun finally got to the point: "I am just thinking that I have called you to discuss. I plan to immigrate 600,000 people to Songjiang Prefecture and build a new city based on the opening of the zone. Li Aiqing, what do you think?"

"Ah?" Li Zhilong almost fell down from Jindun. There is nothing wrong with Songjiang Prefecture's lack of people, but 600,000 people were migrated, and the entire Songjiang Prefecture was only 400,000 people. Li Zhilong actually estimated that the opening area would require almost 50,000 to 100,000 workers, but the emperor suddenly stuffed 600,000. What is this? After a brief panic, Li Zhilong calmed down and said slowly: "I am really ashamed. The emperor is the emperor's ninety-five emperor, and ordered all directions to discuss national affairs with Weicheng, a small sixth-rank subordinate, but..." After all, Li Zhilong was a young man and still had a horn on his body. He paused here and thought about taking it himself.

After the words came down, he said: "I really dare not obey the order. If 600,000 people flocked to the Songjiang Prefecture opening area, there would be more people. I was originally an orphan who had no father or mother wandered on the streets in Qiantang. He was brought to Haidu by the emperor to give him food and clothes, and let someone teach me about his knowledge. Even the kindness of his parents is not the case. Now I have achieved some success in learning and guarding the emperor's side. I will never want to see Songjiang Prefecture because of too many refugees in the Songjiang Prefecture......" Li Zhilong did not continue here, and he really couldn't find a suitable word to describe it. This heart-to-heart talk was both touching and a kind of advice.

Zhu Jun smiled and waved his hand disregardly: "Can I understand your thoughts? Didn't I say that to build a new city? In fact, as long as the 600,000 people are governed properly, it is easy to place them. Haven't you seen that Songjiang has provided nearly 200,000 jobs to the people after a year of opening the district?"

Zhu Jun's face began to be a little more than 100,000 large factories with more than 100,000 people, why can't we attract more businessmen to invest and resettle these refugees? Not only do I want to build a new city here, but I also plan to add a large port in Shanghai. Well, the largest in the entire Jiangnan. In addition, those merchants can also enjoy the benefits of tax exemption for one year when investing in Shanghai. Besides, there are a lot of labor here. Once there are more people, the labor will be reduced. Merchants set up factories here, and the salary they may pay is only half of the other areas. If Li Aiqing is also a businessman, I would like to ask you, are you willing to set up factories in Shanghai or go to other places?"

This sentence suddenly made Li Zhilong say, and he looked ashamed and said: "What the emperor taught is that if Weichen is a businessman, he would probably choose either Suzhou or Shanghai. Suzhou is a province-wide place with a large population and huge consumption. The goods produced can be sold directly nearby. If Shanghai can have a national policy of exempting taxes for one year, and with so many laborers, it is probably that its ability to attract investment is not weaker than that of Suzhou.
