Chapter 374: Coming Ahead of the West Exit

When Wang Yue heard the results of the cabinet's deliberations, he almost wanted to laugh...... There are several people in the cabinet, some of them are really stupid, of course, there are also one or two, they should be pretending to be stupid.

The Protectorate of the North!

It's up to them to figure it out!

If you don't give money and food, you should be greedy for your copper!

If you have land, can't you make money?

First of all, how big is this northern capital? According to the meaning of the cabinet, it contains two parts, one is Liaodong, and the other is the original Daning Dusi.

Let's talk about Liaodong first, many people know that Nuer Gandu Division, but in fact, Nuer Gandu Division has not existed for a long time, only 25 years before and after.

The person who gave up the slave Gandu Division does not need to guess, it is Zhu Zhanji, the little black fat man of Ming Xuanzong, who also gave up Jiaozhi. The devil knows how such a son of heaven, who keeps abandoning the land, has become the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch? How did Renxuan's rule come about? Is it just relying on the loser?

At present, the Ming army is in Liaodong, except for a few big cities, such as Liaoyang, Shenyang, and Tieling, the rest of the northern lands are all Jurchen tribes.

Fortunately, the Jurchen tribes were still in bulk, and the threat was far less intense than that of the Mongols.

Of course, throwing Liaodong to Wang Yue together is also considered. Once the Daning Dusi was restored, the Mongols went to Liaodong to graze their cattle and harassed Liaodong again.

Or did Wang Yue use the excuse that Liaodong barbarians had invaded the Kou, which affected the progress of restoring Daning?

So in order to throw away the burden, and also to prevent Wang Yue from throwing the pot.

They simply threw Liaodong to Wang Yue as well.

In this way, that is to say, outside the Shanhaiguan, the entire north of the Great Wall, extending to the Hetao area, such a huge piece of land, all of which were included in the northern capital of the protectorate, fell into the control of Wang Yue.

To be honest, let Wang Yue make conditions with Zhu Houxi, he didn't have the courage to ask for so much.

Do you want to cut off the king?

Who would have thought that what Wang Yue never dreamed of, several members of the cabinet, under the complicated and ambiguous relationship, would be thrown into trouble and thrown to Wang Yue!

I don't know if it's time to call them stupid or thank them.

Zhang Fujing was still a little puzzled, "Master, I still can't figure it out, this piece is very desolate, there are only hundreds of thousands of tartars that are difficult to fiddle with, and there are Jurchen Shengfan over there in Liaodong, how do you look at it, they are all barren and barren land, is it really profitable?" ”

Wang Yue smiled contemptuously, "Could it be that you also think that land is not valuable?" ”

Zhang Fujing was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Master, of course land is a good thing, but it's not easy to reclaim it!" ”

Wang Yue chuckled, "Then it depends on the means." It just so happens that you are in the cabinet and give me an order to Shandong and Jiangnan and other places. ”

"What order?"

"Tell the people of these two places, especially the landless people, that as long as they pay five taels of silver, they can get a land deed, and by virtue of the land deed, they can get 300 acres of arable land in the northern capital, and the land will be cultivated for three consecutive years, and it will be theirs. And after paying the deposit, you can get the protection of the northern border soldiers and horses. If someone dies in an accident, the Northern Protectorate will pay 100 taels. And those who pay the deposit can also get a cheap ferry ticket, take a boat to Tianjin to meet, and go north together. ”

Zhang Fujing quickly wrote down what Wang Yue meant, but he felt a little unreliable.

"Master, whether it is Shandong or Jiangnan, the people are relocated to their land, and they are unwilling to leave their hometowns. What's more, this is a migration to the bitter cold land of the north, and the disciples are really not optimistic. ”

Wang Yue smiled, "You still underestimate the extent of the looting of those scholars, I am just worried that some gentry will obstruct the migration of the people, and if the people escape, they will not be able to exploit them." ”

Zhang Fujing snorted: "Anyway, the disciple has long been preparing to clear these places, if any gentry dare to obstruct it, the disciple will do it immediately!" ”

Zhang Fujing was murderous, and Wang Yue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

What's next, let's do it!

The cabinet order was issued, and the whole Ming Dynasty moved, and notices were posted in various places to announce the benefits of going to the northern border to reclaim land and encourage the big guys to emigrate.

"This is wishful thinking again, Wang Yue, this person, just likes to dream! He thought anyone was willing to take risks! The desert steppe, so desolate, full of tigers and wolves, and even more ferocious Mongolian tribes, who has nothing to run to death! Shi Xuan sneered unceremoniously.

Fei Hong also sighed: "You're wrong, didn't you see that people still have to collect a deposit of five taels of silver?" Maybe Wang Yue is planning to make a small fortune! ”

The two elders glanced at each other and laughed happily at the same time.

Even if Wang Yue has a set of conspiracies and tricks and leads troops to fight, he still can't govern the place.

"It's good to wait for this kid to toss enough and retreat in the face of difficulties. We old bones really don't carry the toss. ”

Like Fei Hong Shixuan, I want to see Wang Yue's jokes, and there are many of them.

And at this time, there were two people, two people from Shanxi, who arrived at Wang Yue's mansion.

"I've seen Uncle Fuyuan!"

Wang Yue glanced at it and immediately smiled, they were all acquaintances.

In front is Yang Bo's father Yang Zhen, and in the back is Wang Yao.

The strongest CPs of Jin Shang, the Yang family and the Wang family, finally came together.

As soon as she saw Wang Yue, Yang Zhen asked, "Uncle Fuyuan, the dog didn't make trouble for you, did he?" If that kid doesn't obey, I'll spank him when I turn around! ”

Wang Yue laughed, "Yang Zhen, if you want to beat my apprentice, should you ask me this master first?" ”

"This ......" Yang Zhen paused, and suddenly showed a hearty smile, happy and happy, "With Uncle Fuyuan's words, I can rest assured that I will hand over the dog to you, everything will be decided by you, and I have no objections." ”

Wang Yao was greedy from the sidelines, his little cub was still too young, and he didn't know if there was a chance to worship under Wang Yue's door and get the appreciation and recognition of Uncle Fuyuan!

Wang Yao paused, leaned over and asked, "My lord, is it safe to go to the grassland this time?" ”

Wang Yue smiled, "I don't dare to guarantee 100% safety, after all, if you don't adapt to the water and soil, you will die." All I can say is that I will arrange three layers of protection. ”

"Three floors? How to protect? ”

"First of all, it is the new army, and I will concentrate on the key places to deter the Quartet. Secondly, I will take in some Mongolian cavalry, mix with our cavalry, and be responsible for patrolling all over the place. In addition, I will provide weapons to anyone who goes north to Tuntian, including swords and firearms, and I will also provide training so that they can protect themselves. ”

Yang Zhen and Wang Yao looked at each other, and they both showed joy, Wang Yue's promise had greatly exceeded their estimates. Wang Yao said first: "If you have half the chance, you can fight for it." Now I am at least ninety percent sure, and if I don't dare to give it a go, it will be too embarrassing! ”

"My lord, I'm willing to pay 50,000 taels!"

"Fifty thousand taels?" Wang Yue was stunned, "This is 10,000 people!" Are there so many? ”

Without waiting for Wang Yao to answer, Yang Zhen smiled and said, "My lord, this is just the first batch, and it is not impossible for more people to go north in the future!" You just stare at Shandong and Jiangnan, in fact, you have forgotten that Shanxi is barren and densely populated, and it has long been impossible to maintain itself by relying on the output of your hometown. Otherwise, we wouldn't have ventured to the north and south and worked hard. ”

Wang Yao also said: "That's it!" Shanxi people are familiar with the northern environment, and we are more suitable to go to the northern Tunken! ”

Wang Yue didn't expect that the most active immigrants were actually from Shanxi!

But after a little thought, you will understand.

In fact, since the middle of the Ming Dynasty, many Shanxi people have gone north from Hukou to enter the Mongolian steppe and engage in reclamation and business...... This is the famous West Exit!

There is no way, who makes Shanxi's land barren and famine! In addition, the Jin merchants traveled south and north all the year round, operating everywhere, so that Shanxi people have an unusual enthusiasm for migration.

Wang Yue frowned slightly, and suddenly realized that it seemed that more could be done.

"I'll give you an order now, how many people can you recruit from Shanxi?"

Yang Zhen and Wang Yao pondered for a while, and Yang Zhen said: "My lord, if it is ordered by the imperial court, we will find a way to recruit, and within a year, the number of people can reach 50,000...... If there is an effect, you can really make a fortune, and it is not impossible for millions to migrate! ”

"Great!"

Wang Yue slapped his face excitedly, "Since this is the case, let's focus on the migration of Shanxi ......"

They were chatting excitedly, when suddenly two more people came outside, Wang Gen and Qian Dehong.

"My lord, we have just received a letter from the Duke of Yangming, Nanzhili, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and even Huguang, there are hundreds of thousands of people willing to migrate to the north, and there is only one request, that is, to ask adults to help prepare warm clothes and give the people a warm shelter. If you can survive the first winter! ”

Wang Yao was curious, "Jiangnan is different from our Shanxi, you are so rich, you can pinch out oil by grabbing a handful of soil, do you still need to run to the north?" ”

Wang Gen rolled his eyelids, "Jiangnan is so fat that it flows into oil, but it's a pity that this oil doesn't flow into the people's bowls...... By the way, don't you Shanxi people also get a lot? The salt merchants in Yangzhou, few locals, all came from Shanxi! ”

was exposed, Wang Yao hurriedly said: "It's all hard money, hard money!" ”

The northern border, which was seen as a place of death by the people of the capital, turned out to be a fragrant dumpling that everyone scrambled for.

Not only Jiangnan and Shanxi, Shandong, Henan, but also Jizhen, Tianjin, and even Beijing, some people have taken the initiative to sign up.

Wang Yue preliminarily summarized the news from all parties, and the number of people who were willing to move to Tuntian turned out to be millions!

"Are there really so many?" Zhu Houxi was pleasantly surprised, and he suddenly realized one thing, "One million immigrants, doesn't it mean that you kid can get five million taels of silver?" ”

His Majesty the Emperor's angle of concern is always so strange.

"Your Majesty, in order to organize immigration and settle the people, the money that the minister needs to spend is estimated to be more than 10 million taels! That's the start-up capital. ”

Zhu Houxi snorted, you just lie!

I'm too lazy to poke you anyway.

"The people would rather leave their hometowns and find a way out, which shows the ruthlessness of the exploitation of the local gentry and the depth of oppression!" The emperor's fist slammed into the table, full of force!
