Zhu Houzhao tapped the fold in his hand, and there was no expression on his face, he turned his head to look at Liu Jin for a while, and then ordered: "Go, bring Yang Yiqing to the palace." ”

This is Zhu Houzhao's last thing in Liaodong, and he can basically consider returning to Beijing after explaining it.

These days, Yang Yiqing, the governor of Liaodong, is very busy, although the tax department has collected the taxes, but since the army has been stationed in Liaodong, this matter has increased. Hearing Zhu Houzhao's call, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly brought someone here.

After the monarch and the minister saw the ceremony, Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Yang Qing, there is something to tell Yang Qing about coming to the palace today. ”

"Your Highness, please speak." Yang Yiqing listened respectfully.

Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then handed the good news in his hand to Liu Jin beside him: "Yang Qing take a look, this is the good news that Wang Shouren just sent." A smile appeared on Zhu Houzhao's face as he spoke.

Good news?

Listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Yiqing was stunned for a moment, didn't he come to good news a few days ago? Here we go again? Stretched out his hand to take the good news and took a quick look, and then Yang Yiqing showed joy on his face and said with a smile: "This Lord Wang is really extraordinary, how long has it been to occupy Daning, Daming has this male soldier, and this Liaodong is stable." ”

Zhu Houzhao nodded with a smile, and then said: "This palace is looking for you today for Daning's affairs, and this palace is ready to set up a Daning capital division in Daning." ”

"After the establishment of this Daning Division, the palace is ready to see him plan to come to Liaodong, and it is not suitable for the Liaodong Governor Yamen to govern the Daning Division, so the palace invites the imperial court to set up the position of the governor of Liaodong, and the governor of all important military and political affairs in Liaodong." Saying that, Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Yiqing, and said with a smile: "This palace will recommend Aiqing like the imperial court." ”

The Governor, a well-known position in later generations, was no stranger to the Ming Dynasty, and unlike the governor, who only controlled the administrative affairs of one province, the Governor was in charge of several provinces, and at the same time was in charge of military affairs and the economy in addition to government affairs.

Daning's place is still a military town at the moment, and it is also sparsely populated to the north, and it is not suitable to set up a prefect's yamen, plus Daning and Liaodong are close to each other and have many exchanges, so it naturally needs a unified coordination and scheduling. It would be appropriate to establish the office of Governor in such circumstances. As for the candidate for governor, Zhu Houzhao naturally favored Yang Yiqing.

Yang Yiqing is not lacking in qualifications, he was the governor of Shaanxi before, and now he is the governor of Liaodong, and now he is also qualified to serve as the governor of Liaodong.

Of course, sometimes it's useless to be qualified, do you need someone in the court, is there someone in the Qing Dynasty? Of course there is, Yang Yiqing is standing behind His Royal Highness the Prince.

Yang Yiqing didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to make him the governor of Liaodong, so it was naturally difficult to shirk at this time, otherwise it would be hypocritical, but Yang Yiqing still quickly stood up and said, "Thank you, Your Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"We don't have to talk about it." Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "You just have to do it well, what does this Liaodong Aiqing think is missing?" ”

"Back to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is a shortage of people." Yang Yiqing said with a wry smile, this is Yang Yiqing's most intuitive feeling, it is really too short of people. These days, the army is recruiting, textile mills, steel factories and weapons chiefs are recruiting, mining also requires people, and farming also requires people.

"yes!" Zhu Houzhao also nodded approvingly: "It is indeed a shortage of people, and it is the easiest way to recruit people from the Central Plains." ”

Hearing Zhu Houzhao's words, Yang Yiqing hurriedly stopped: "His Royal Highness the Prince, this matter must not be allowed." ”

How many people have to die if the people are requisitioned? How much manpower and material resources are used? This is absolutely not something that can be done, Yang Yiqing knows it in his heart.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao is also clear, after listening to Yang Yiqing's words, Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Aiqing rest assured, even if this palace thinks so, the imperial court will not agree." What the palace wants is to let the people come to Liaodong by themselves, there will be no resentment, and the court will not have too much expense. ”

Yang Yiqing was stunned, let the people come by themselves? Liaodong local officials don't like to come as officials, let alone the people?

"That's what Hongu intended." Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Yiqing with a smile, and then said his idea again, mainly of course the wool textile industry.

How the whole industry is laid out, how to produce, how to sell, a series of things Zhu Houzhao talked about in detail, how to attract businessmen, how to attract people through businessmen, all of which are clearly explained. Zhu Houzhao attaches great importance to this matter, why Daming can only be on the front line of the Great Wall and cannot fight, the reason is very simple, that is, the economy cannot support it.

Why can't it be supported? Because the transportation conditions in this era are too poor, it all depends on logistics supply, and the Ming Dynasty can't hold it.

There are too few people on the front line of the Great Wall, basically they are military towns, they do not produce, and they consume a lot of money and grain from the imperial court every year. This consumption does not refer to their food and clothing, but the loss of transportation, and the local output is not enough to support the military town. The most important reason is the lack of population, and if you want Northern Xinjiang to be strong enough, you must have enough population.

These people live here, produce here, and the annual taxes collected directly supply the military towns, and do not need to be transferred from other places.

In this era, this is the only way to do it, otherwise you still can't get out, so Zhu Houzhao can't pay attention to this. In Zhu Houzhao's vision, there will be a huge logistics supply line along the Great Wall in the future, not on the front line, whether this idea can be realized Zhu Houzhao does not know, even if it is realized, how long it will take to realize, Zhu Houzhao does not know.

However, Zhu Houzhao wants to work hard in this direction, and he believes that sooner or later this idea can be realized, and he will move forward step by step.

Yang Yiqing was dumbfounded when he heard it, he didn't expect His Royal Highness the Prince's idea to be so huge, thinking that His Royal Highness the Prince's wool would be more profitable than salt, and would become a pillar industry in Liaodong, and would attract countless businessmen and people, Yang Yiqing was excited, thinking of that grand scene, Yang Yiqing couldn't sit still, and really wanted to roll up his sleeves and go to a big job.

Zhu Hou looked at Yang Yiqing's appearance, and immediately smiled: "Yang Aiqing, this grassland is going to be sold, but you have to cover it for the palace to sell." ”

"When this batch of wool products from the palace is transported back to the capital, it will inevitably be sold, and the merchants of the capital will inevitably flock to it, and those nobles and relatives will also find you, the palace has only one request, that is, it can't be sold cheaply, if you sell it cheaply to the palace, the palace is the only one who asks."

Yang Yiqing nodded again and again: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, rest assured, the minister will do it well." ”
