Tian Jingye said: "Actually, what the cousin of the Duan family said is also right and wrong. On the one hand, this money will not be spent in vain. In the future, when the city is built and attracts more people, it will naturally be able to earn back. Besides, with everyone's enthusiasm for reclaiming wasteland, there will naturally be more grain produced in the future, and our task will not be completed, as long as we can build a grain base, it will cost a little money, and all families and clans, as well as the emperor, will be satisfied. ”

Everyone nodded.

Chen Wenhui saw that the heat was almost over, so he said, "Since everyone agrees." I also agree. After all, I came up with this idea in the first place, so where can I disagree? Actually, I have a few more to say besides this idea. For example, the situation on our Yizhou Island is different. The natives of Yizhou Island are also of the same clan as us, but they have not been managed by the imperial court for many years. In addition, the black family has ruled for many years, and those who have thorns have already been sorted out. So, there's no big danger here. However, Luzon is different, the natives there are not the same race as us, they are dark, greedy, very poor, they have not seen those delicate objects of our Great Chu, it is inevitable that they will be greedy, if such a policy is adopted, it will inevitably be wrong. So, I advocate two kinds. One is willing to submit to us, and we will give them conditions, just like Xinguang City, in order to become our soldiers and civilians. For example, if everyone wants to apply, they have to buy a house in the city, and if they reclaim 100 acres of wasteland outside the city, or if we have reclaimed the wasteland, they buy 100 acres, and they have to manage it properly, and they can't pay the tax per acre. In addition to these, another point is that you must know the language of our Dachu, and you must pass the annual exam of our new city. In addition to this. If you can marry someone from Da Chu, you can automatically become our resident. This is to encourage intermarriage. To encourage more children, this is another point, I hope that our four cities, there is no racial discrimination, as long as there is our Dachu blood. Let's treat him as a real Da Chu person. There can be no such words as mongrels. Second, for those tribes who are not subject to management. I have only one word, kill. ”

This word is said. The atmosphere in the room suddenly cooled. These boys and brothers are cold, this little girl, who is young, how can she be so murderous. It was also said that there should be no racial discrimination. After this, the natives will be killed, and those who follow me will prosper and those who disobey me will die. Compliant. They will be given high-status treatment, and those who do not obey will be killed.

Chen Wenhui continued: "Our city was built, and the army that guarded us was recruited by ourselves. Everybody knows that. The imperial court allowed us to establish the Nanyang Army. We also hired sergeants, and we also had manpower, and we also brought some from Dachu. The black family bought a part of the weapons and armor, and there was no problem with the establishment of this army. But. Will this army be able to keep us safe in a foreign land? I'm not optimistic. ”

As soon as he said this, Duan Huaiyu's eyes widened, and he was about to speak, when Chen Wenhui waved his hand, and then said: "You must be very confident in your own manpower, and feel that they are all carefully selected people with high martial arts. However, I don't think that no matter how high the martial arts are, it can't be done without actual combat experience. ”

As soon as he said this, Duan Huaiyu, who was about to speak, suddenly had nothing to say. As a military general, he still understands this common sense.

Chen Wenhui continued: "Of course, some of us are retired sergeants, and these people can still be used, otherwise, I don't dare to go to Luzon, wouldn't that be sent to death?" However, it is not enough to rely on some of the retired sergeants, because even among this part of the sergeants there are those who have not been on the battlefield and have seen blood. Therefore, if we want to develop, we must first ensure safety, we are here to make money, not to play with our lives. If you want to be safe, you need to build an iron-blooded army. So, I thought, leave the task of strangling the tribes who disobey us to our army. In this way, we can take turns to fight, so that every soldier can be tempered and experience a baptism of iron and blood, so that our combat capability can be enhanced, and our security can be guaranteed and developed. ”

Now everyone understands. After thinking for a while, Tian Jingye was a Confucian after all, and he was deeply influenced by Confucian thoughts, he said: "Is this killing too heavy, although it is not our race, but it is also human life?" ”

Chen Wenhui said: "It's not that I don't give them a way to live, I just let them choose." If we become our friends, we can help them get rid of poverty and backwardness and live a stable, happy and healthy life, just like the residents of Shin Kong City. However, if they choose to oppose them, they are our enemies, and to be merciful to them is to be cruel to themselves. ”

Everyone nodded when they said this, what else did Tian Jingye have to say, Duan Huaiyu said: "Jingye, you don't want to convince people with virtue, right?" They don't understand our language, and if we go to the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, can they accept it? How do we convince people with virtue? ”

Tian Jingye looked at everyone, and had to say: "We all listen to the general manager, and if there are any policies, please tell the general manager about them." ”

Chen Wenhui nodded and said: "In order to encourage the sergeants to work for us, I think we all took out some money, anyway, our families are not short of silver." We use this silver as a reward, and as long as the tribe with thorn heads dares to rebel against us, we will issue a bounty and send our army to encircle and suppress it, and whoever kills the enemy can exchange his head for silver, which is the same as when the court fights a war. Also, all the captures are distributed among these soldiers, and we don't want the spoils. Of course, if there are good things, you can sell them to us, and we will give the silver at the market price. In addition to this, we would like to talk about how to get our people to get residency. First of all, we have to determine what kind of people will be the first to become residents of our four cities in Nanyang. Because we've already brought 200,000 people. In the future, this number will continue to increase, and I think that people will pass from the Wa Kingdom, Silla, Goguryeo, and Dachu one after another. ”

Chen Wenqi nodded and said, "Wen Hui's idea is very good, since we let the family work hard for us, we will not hesitate to reward it." But the matter of this first batch of residents, now among our 200,000 people, there are different identities, some are skilled craftsmen, these are our treasures, but some of them have money, some have no money. There are also some of us who are stewards, and some of these people are slaves, so we don't have to worry about that. Some of them are our staff, these are our right-hand men in managing the city, are these people willing to be residents, do they have the money to be? Do you want to buy a property in Nanyang? There is also a part, this part is the big head, that is, the residents of the three counties that the emperor gave us to migrate, these are all poor and white civilians, what should they do? The rest is easy to do, those are the prisoners of war we bought, they are bought, they are slaves, naturally they don't have to become residents. ”

Chen Wenhui showed an appreciative look and said, "What Brother Wenqi said is very right. These people of ours have complex identities, and we have to treat them differently. In my opinion, first of all, artisans. I have a way to make them residents right away, it's not a good thing it's too easy. Among them, those who have money can become first, and those who don't have money can work for us honestly, so that when they earn money, they can also become residents. In addition, if you don't have money and are more anxious, we also have a way. I set up a Nanyang Bank in Nanyang, which can give loans to these craftsmen, and with loans, they can develop their businesses faster, buy more land, open up more land, and hire more people, so that they can make money faster, and they can buy properties and become residents faster. There is also the aspect of those residents. These residents are our largest labor force, and it is not okay to become residents, our burden is too heavy, and I have built a buffer period for them. Because they didn't come voluntarily, unlike the craftsmen. Those craftsmen have all received settlement fees in Dachu, but these people have not. Therefore, we give a five-year protection period, which is temporarily regarded as a resident of the new city, and we build houses, give free medical treatment, and teach children to study for free. However, they have to work hard to earn money, not only to support themselves, but also to work hard to earn money, to become official residents in five years, or to eliminate them after five years, they will not be able to enjoy these things, they will not be able to see a doctor for free, their houses will be repossessed, and their children will drop out of school. There is pressure to be motivated, otherwise, what can you do with a bunch of lazy people? ”

Everyone is thoughtful and a little admiring. Even Chen Wenjun's eyes are shining, this is also very useful for his management after subduing the Japanese state, it seems that my sister still has a lot of things to dig here, and she can't be allowed to be the shopkeeper, and when she arranges these things, before her sister sets off for Luzon, she must take some time, and the two brothers and sisters sit together to discuss how to deal with the Japanese state.

Chen Wenhui continued: "There are also those prisoners of war, there is no need to think about them, just like Brother Wenqi said. They were slaves. However, because slaves have no status, they are prone to passivity and slackness, and they are prone to instability, so it is better for us to give hope to all slaves and maids. Including prisoners of war, as well as our own stewards. As long as they do a good job, they also have wages, as long as they can save enough money one day, they can buy property, and they can become our residents, but before that, they must redeem themselves, after all, they are bought by us. It's just that, in order to prevent some masters from deliberately making things difficult and not ransom slaves and maids, I will first set a number, and the ransom money for each slave and maid shall not exceed fifty taels. Of course, if the master is benevolent and righteous, it is allowed not to take any money. ”

As soon as he said this, many people were unwilling, and Bai Junda asked: "But, in this way, what if the maids and aunts around us are all making a fuss about redeeming themselves?" Aren't we left unattended? ”

Chen Wenhui couldn't help but roll her eyes, why is this person just thinking about women? (To be continued)
