Maybe it was because the prince went out for a trip, not only brought a side concubine who didn't pass through the door, but also brought seven or eight beautiful maids, which made Li Jingyun feel the pressure, and the pressure became another motivation.

"I'm going to give birth to a son!"

That night, she said in the ear of the prince. In the face of such a request, Zhu Guoqiang naturally fully cooperated.

After a long absence, he was newly married, and he had not been intimate for several months, and after returning home, he naturally thundered and thundered night and night, and only listened to the maid waiting outside the door until his ears and face were hot and his whole body was soft.

After getting up early in the morning, as in the past, after running a few laps in the palace, he had just had breakfast here, and he didn't wait for him to get to the study, with a smile on his face.

It's raining!

This is the first spring rain!

Although the rain was not heavy, a smile appeared on his face as he stared at the snow.

It doesn't seem as serious as it seems?

But soon, his mood became even more somber.

The drizzle only lasted a few minutes before it stopped, leaving no rain on the ground.

"No, it's time to speed things up!"

Staring at the dry noodles, Zhu Guoqiang muttered to himself.

There are some speeds that can't be sped up. However, there is another way to alleviate the problem.

Thinking about it, he shouted to Wang Xi outside the door.

"Wang Xi, let Yun Haipeng come over."

Yun Haipeng is the son of Yun San, the second leader of the Peacock Banner, and is now Zhu Guoqiang's bodyguard.

As soon as he entered the study, Zhu Guoqiang asked directly.

"Have you ever been out to sea?"

What is the problem?

We are the sons of the second leader of the Peacock Banner, how can we never go to sea?

Yun Haipeng replied truthfully.

"Back to the world, the last general will be on the ship at the age of six."

"I mean, have you ever been out on the sea?"

"Lord Shizi, the Wa Kingdom should be regarded as the far sea!"

Yun Haipeng's tone seemed a little uncertain.

"I mean, have you ever been to the West?"

The Western Ocean in the Ming Dynasty was a very vast area, from Southeast Asia to the coastal areas of the Indian Ocean, which was called "Western Ocean" during the Ming Dynasty.

"I went to Greater Luzon once a few years ago. Do business with the local red-haired people. ”

It's the Philippines, um, nodding, Zhu Guoqiang asked again.

"Have you ever been to Taiwan?"

In the Ming Dynasty, Taiwan was just a foreign place, except for a few officials in Fujian and other places who knew about it, that is, only maritime merchants knew that place, which was why Zhu Guoqiang would call Yun Haipeng.

He was the only one around who could know the place right now.

"Back to the world, when the last general was the year before last, he went to the red-haired city of Jilong Mountain with the ship, and he also did business with the red-haired people."

Red-haired city?

After being stunned, Zhu Guoqiang knew who the "red hair" in his mouth was, the Spaniards, it was not only the Dutch who had invaded Taiwan, in fact, after the Dutch occupied Tainan, Spain began to be anxious, they were worried that once the Dutch power was established in Taiwan, it would deal a blow to its overseas trade. They went north along the coast of Taiwan, and then occupied Keelung and Tamsui.

Historically, two years later, the Spaniards would have been blasted out of Taiwan by the Dutch.

At present, the Netherlands and Spain occupy the north and south of Taiwan respectively.

This incident is not easy to handle!

During the Chongzhen period, Zhu Guoqiang finally realized the power of the "Xiaoice River Period", cold, that is a must, since the low temperature of minus 30 degrees was measured in Jinan, he didn't even bother to measure the temperature.

How cold was the late Ming weather during the Xiaoice period?

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, Hainan actually snowed heavily for three days in a row, so that the grass and trees withered. As for Guangzhou, it also snows heavily every year. As for last year, I didn't take off my cotton clothes until the end of March, and just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, I put them on again, and the winter was long and the summer was short.

This year...... It's cold!

Shandong is so cold, isn't Liaodong even colder?

That is necessary, although Zhu Guoqiang can put on sheepskin coats and pointed Leifeng hats for his subordinates, but he must consider the livelihood of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people in the future.

Relying on Shandong to help with food?

Shandong is also dry and flooded, and the local people are lucky not to starve to death.

Whether you want to ensure military rations in the future, or you want to keep the people alive, there is only one way - emigrate!

Immigrants overseas, immigrants are warmer, Southeast Asia is summer all year round! Turn Southeast Asia into the farm of the Ming Dynasty, accept millions of Ming immigrants at the same time, supply grain to the Ming Dynasty, and become the new granary of the Ming Dynasty. This may be the only option to solve the problem.

And Taiwan is the first stop in the south!

It's just that now there are Spaniards and Dutch there, so ...... Fight down, these years, whoever has the big fist, who is reasonable! Besides, that's still China's territory!

"You've been to the chicken coop, well, the local Spaniards, how is the defense in the red-haired city? If you want to take it there, how many troops will you need? ”

Shi Ziye's question made Yun Haipeng stunned for a moment, and then said.

"Lord Shizi, the defense of Hongmao City is very strict, I'm afraid it's not easy to fight!"

"Can you take it down?"

"It's sure you can beat it down, but it's just that there are cannibals everywhere in that place, what are you doing when you beat it?"

"Emigration, farming!"

Smiling at Yun Haipeng, Zhu Guoqiang said.

"You tell me everything you know, I'll understand it first, and then make plans!"

Why take Taiwan first?

On the way south, you can't help but take it! Taking Taiwan is equivalent to taking the door to Southeast Asia south.

Again, Song Xuezhu came to the study of the prince of the world, looking at the eyes of the prince, it was gratitude and awe, maybe it was because of the relationship between the immortal fruit of the Heavenly Palace, although there were many affairs these days, he still felt refreshed, as if he was several years younger. Putting aside the other world, this is called "placebo", or psychological effect. Of course, he didn't say anything, just listened to the orders of the prince.

After a brief chat, Zhu Guoqiang expressed his thoughts.

"Taiwan!"

Standing in front of the map, Zhu Guoqiang pointed to Taiwan on the map and said.

"Although Taiwan is not fertile for thousands of miles, it is almost the same, and unlike the drought in Shandong, the local rain is abundant, the rivers are dense, and the weather is warm, even in the north can achieve three crops a year. If it is developed, it will not even be inferior to Jiangnan. Or can become another overseas Jiangnan of my Ming Dynasty! If we can immigrate 100,000 people and reclaim two or three million acres of fertile land, we can get at least millions of stone of grain every year! When the time comes, not only will the army no longer have to worry about the future, but the surplus grain can also be sold to Shandong to help the people of Shandong. ”

Song Xuezhu didn't think about the benefits that the prince said at all, this is a calm thing that officials must maintain, even if there are thousands of benefits, in fact, it is not easy to say before it is effective.

"100,000 immigrants? The prince ......"

Walking to the side of the map and staring at Taiwan on the map, Song Xuezhu hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"Taiwan and Shandong are separated by oceans, and if you take the sea route, I am afraid that you will not be able to reach Taiwan in less than ten or twenty days, and the sea is stormy and turbulent, and if there is any mistake, I am afraid that it will cause chaos when the time comes."

100,000 immigrants!

But all the officials of the Ming Dynasty are no strangers to immigration, after all, the Ming Dynasty had immigrated millions at the beginning of the country, and now the prince wants to move the people to Taiwan, even if it is to reclaim Taiwan can bring millions of stone grain, but also be cautious.

Song Xuezhu's reaction itself was expected by Zhu Guoqiang, so he smiled.

"What's the risk? When I went north to Liaodong, such a big wave, didn't I still go back and forth safely, I could go, and the people would definitely be able to go. ”

Hearing that the prince used himself as an example, Song Xuezhu was inconvenient to object, and after thinking about it, he said again.

"Lord Shizi, if this is to settle the immigrants, I am afraid that the government will have to plough cattle and seeds for the immigrants, otherwise, there will definitely be chaos."

"Well, that's for sure, everything is based on the rules of Emperor Gao at the beginning of the founding of the country."

Zhu Guoqiang agreed.

The old practice of many immigrants during the founding of the People's Republic of China was that all immigrants planted in the tun, and the officials gave them cattle and seeds to be exempted from rent and tax for three years, and then paid taxes per mu.

It is by virtue of this rule that when Emperor Gao opened the country, he moved millions of immigrants to the north and south of the country, and if he wanted to immigrate to Southeast Asia, he also needed to refer to the rules of the year, after all, there was a successful precedent.

Of course, in the past, there were inevitably some problems, but compared to the series of disasters caused by this unprecedented natural catastrophe during the Chongzhen period. The range of problems that can arise from immigration is acceptable.

After all, immigration to Southeast Asia can save many people, and many people survive this catastrophe, and it can also allow the Chinese nation to participate in the wave of partition of the world in the Age of Discovery.

"There are also ships that need to be solved, and if there is a large-scale migration, a large number of ships will definitely be needed."

"The problem of salary, you don't have to worry about it, I will find a way to solve it."

What must be developed in the Age of Discovery, it must be the navy. What is the purpose of developing the navy, it is for the development of overseas markets. And the development of overseas markets will definitely require a large number of merchant ships, which in itself is a cause that must be fully promoted, regardless of whether it is immigrant or not.

Now, large-scale immigration can further promote the overseas colonization of the Ming Dynasty, which is said to be a good thing to kill two birds with one stone.

After chatting for a while, Zhu Guoqiang finally said to Song Xuezhu.

"In two days, I will go to Lushun, and when the time comes, I will ask Xuchu for all things in Shandong."

After asking Song Xuezhu to leave, Zhu Guoqiang took out a letter from the table from Qian Degong sent from Lushun, which not only reported the news that Huang Taiji had withdrawn his troops. He also came to plead for sin.

Looking at the content of the letter, Zhu Guoqiang's face changed from time to time, and finally he couldn't help laughing at himself.

"Qian Degong, Qian Degong, you have made me famous for future generations, now I have really become Meng Gong......"
