This time, Qi Jiguang led the three-way army back from the eastward expedition, bringing a total of more than 200,000 people.

The population of more than 200,000 people, excluding the number of soldiers, is mostly women and children from the Eastern Captives and the Mongol Yuan.

Of course, there were about 80,000 Han women, all of whom were taken captive and looted to Liaodong as slaves.

After the extermination of the Eastern Captivity, they all chose to return to Guannai, unwilling to stay in Liaodong.

Qi Jiguang knew that they had suffered a lot under the Eastern Tartars, and he did not refuse to bring them back.

During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Han people in the north had a population of about 45 million, and with the invasion of the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, they slaughtered cities everywhere.

In the end, only 7 million people remained in the north, that is, 80% of the Han population in the north was slaughtered by the Mongol Yuan.

After Zhu Yuanzhang, the Hongwu Emperor, overthrew the Mengyuan Dynasty, the population of China began to recover slowly, and the population reached about 140 million during the Wanli period.

However, with the peasant uprising and the invasion of the east, coupled with natural disasters, the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 70 million, and half of it was lost.

Hearing the emperor ask what to do with those barbarian women, Sun Chuanting, the new head of the cabinet, stepped forward to give a salute:

"Your Majesty, after the world is one, I have a lot of resources, and many places are barren, and there is a serious shortage of population.

The minister thinks that they can become the engine of the population growth of the Ming Dynasty, and they should all be assigned to the healthy Ming army soldiers, and now they are not fighting, they must hurry up to create people for the Ming Dynasty! ”

"Hahaha...... What Lord Sun said was that Weichen seconded it! ”

"Wechen seconded"

"Wechen seconded"

…………

Okay, Sun Chuanting's suggestion was immediately approved by most of the civil and military!

Even Zhu Youzhen couldn't stop nodding, he also had this idea, so he smiled:

"Sun Aiqing, why don't you take the lead first, and tomorrow you will go and select a few Meng Yuan and Dongdong captive women to go back to be concubines, and strive to give birth to a few little Sun Chuanting next year? Haha......"

"Hahaha......"

"Wechen seconded"

……

Zhu Youzhen's words caused the Manchu civil and military to laugh for a while, and someone immediately seconded the proposal, which made Sun Chuanting's face flushed, and he hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, Weichen is in his fifties, how can he have this ability, you better let those young people give birth!"

"Haha......"

Sun Chuanting's words made the Manchu Dynasty civil and military laugh again.

Today is a good day, the world is finally peaceful, everyone is in a good mood, and it is rare to be so happy in the court.

For everyone's jokes, there is no Yu Shi Qingliu impeaching them for roaring court.

When the ministers quieted down, Zhu Youzhen said:

"To get back to the point, a total of 120,000 barbarian women came to Beijing this time, and I decided to marry the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition.

The decree was that the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition were each rewarded with a barbarian woman, and the Han women who came back from Liaodong could also choose the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition as their husbands if they were not married, and all the soldiers of the Three Route Army would be on vacation for a month.

In addition, I want to give amnesty to the world, and all the displaced people who were arrested for not having enough to eat and riot in the early stage, and the prisoners who were sentenced to less than five years, will be pardoned.

Those who have nowhere to go can go to work on the farm or in the factory, and all departments are not allowed to deduct their wages! ”

This is amazing, not only rewarded the meritorious soldiers with gold and silver, but also gave them wives.

And amnesty to the whole world, as long as it is not a person who has committed the most heinous crimes, all of them will be pardoned and released from prison, and work will be arranged.

The ministers all knew that the Ming Dynasty was short of people now, and they all gave full support to the emperor's wise decision.

The Liukou rebellion is also to have enough to eat, as long as they are not starved, the Chinese people are still very well-behaved.

Once the people are mobilized, the revival of the Ming Dynasty is definitely not a dream, because the Chinese people are the most creative and hard-working people in the world.

"Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live!"

Zhu Youzhen smiled slightly:

"Don't worry, I haven't finished my words yet, I will strike for three days from tomorrow to celebrate the reunification of the Ming Dynasty.

Today, I will hold a banquet at Fengtianmen to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will participate in the dinner together.

Cao Zhengchun immediately sent a carriage to a few Yichun buildings in Beijing, and brought those geisha who could sing and dance over, and let them entertain everyone! ”

"Yes!"

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly received the order and left.

It's really a good thing every year, there are a lot of them today, and after the ministers reacted, they all happily lay on the ground and began to kowtow to thank you!

"Thank you, Lord Longen, my Emperor Shengming!"

"Lovers, don't be polite"

As early as the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di held a "big banquet" in Fengtian Hall to reward hundreds of officials for dining together.

The preparation of the great banquet ceremony was in charge of the Shangbao Temple at that time, first of all, the dragon chair was placed in the center of the hall, the yellow bow was paved, and there were 24 people to serve beside it.

There are nine small "bands" and dancing girls in the hall, and there are also singers, dancers, acrobatics, and other entertainers outside the hall for the emperor and other ministers to enjoy.

Shangbao Temple ordered Guanglu Temple, which was in charge of meals, to set up a wine pavilion on the west side of the dragon chair, a dining pavilion on the east side of the dragon chair, and a delicious food pavilion on the east and west sides of the wine pavilion and the dining pavilion, and the imperial banquet was placed on the east and west sides in front of the dragon chair.

The crown prince's seat was on the east side of the dragon chair, facing west, while the king's ministers sat in the east-west direction from south to north.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, this is still this banquet for the ministers, and he has no silver!

There were hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and at least a thousand taels of silver would be eaten for this meal, and Chongzhen couldn't afford it.

After the end of the court meeting, the Fengtianmen Taihe Hall immediately began to get busy again, and the eunuchs began to set up tables and chairs with the help of the Jinyi guard.

But Zhu Youzhen returned to the Qianqing Palace first, he knew that the preparations would take a long time, and it was impossible to sit there and watch the eunuchs set up the tables and chairs.

As soon as I returned to the Qianqing Palace, a crisp prompt sound of the system suddenly sounded in my mind:

"Ding, the system is automatically updated successfully, and 200,000 points are consumed!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting three million points!"

"Ding, the total number of host points has reached 8.2 million points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for a lottery once, because the system has been updated and several new features have been added, and this lottery requires three million points."

"Damn, does it take 200,000 points for an automatic update? What's the difference between this and robbery, if I don't have war points, it is equivalent to consuming two million taels of silver. ”

Hearing that the automatic update consumes 200,000 points, although Zhu Youzhen is very rich, he is still very distressed.

"Ding, didn't you just reward three million points? The host did not lose money. ”

"Oh, by the way, where did those three million points come from? Something inexplicable! ”

"Ding, get rid of the reward of the Kong family, the influence of the Kong family in Daming is definitely not comparable to the Liukou!"

"Damn, getting rid of the Kong family can actually have three million points, this is really worth it!"

Hearing that there were actually three million points in addition to the Kong family, Zhu Youzhen was overjoyed.

But as soon as he was proud, the system gave him a slap in the face.

"Ding, don't be complacent too early, the consequences of eradicating the Kong family have not yet appeared, there will definitely be a catastrophe!"

"Ah...... No way! ”

Zhu Youzhen knew that the system would not lie to him, but he really couldn't think of what the consequences would be.

More than 200 people have been sent out to brainwash the literati, isn't it enough?

Those families who are very influential in the local area, they will definitely try their best to discredit the Kong family.

"Big brother system, tell me quickly, what will be the problem, I will nip it in the bud!"

Zhu Youzhen also wanted to ask what was going on with the system, but there was no movement in the system at all.
