Chapter 89: Why Worry (First Update, Asking for Support)
Cultivate the ancestral hall to show its merits.
I have to admit that Fang Yizhi's suggestion made Zhu Mingzhong quite moved, if this is the case, wouldn't it be possible to pay tribute to his grandfather in another time and space in a righteous and bright way?
But at this thought, Zhu Mingzhong was only slightly moved, so he shook his head and said.
"This discussion is not good, non-loyal martyrs are not worthy of the shrine, from the beginning of me, only the officers and soldiers who died in battle and the officials who were martyred in the line of duty can enter the martyr's shrine, and ordinary people, whether they are rich or noble, can not be worthy of the shrine. This vice cannot be removed by me, and as for the teacher, I will set up a spiritual seat in the palace to pay tribute to it. ”
It is not worthy of the ancestral hall, because in ancient China, it was easy to build temples for the civil and military generals. In this way, it makes people a little less awe-inspiring, and it also makes the Martyrs' Shrine and Zhaozhong Shrine look less solemn. For this reason, Zhu Mingzhong issued an order to ban the shrine as early as a few years ago. This highlights the status of the officially built Martyrs' Shrine and the Zhaozhong Shrine.
His Majesty's answer made Fang Yizhi hurriedly plead guilty one after another, and then he looked at the medicine bottle in his hand, but let out a long sigh in his heart.
It seems impossible to convince His Majesty.
"Aiqing, this time I went back to the capital, but is there something wrong? If there is a need for me to support you, Aiqing said bluntly, after all, the Northeast is different from the mainland. ”
Looking at Fang Yizhi, who wanted to speak and stopped, Zhu Mingzhong said,
"Aiqing don't have any worries, if you have anything to say bluntly, I will make decisions for you."
The reason why Zhu Mingzhong said this is because Fang Yizhi has been in the mainland for a lot in the past few years, and the reason for being in the newspaper is that he is too harsh.
It's been so long since civilization that we've forgotten what barbarism is.
Have they forgotten how brutal they were when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs? Even if he is a little harsh in the Northeast, what does it matter?
"Your Majesty, the minister is trying to report something to Your Majesty."
Straightening his back, Fang Yizhi glanced at His Majesty, and when he saw that His Majesty was looking at him, he lowered his head slightly, and then said.
"Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty has allowed all vassal states to recruit people from refugee camps such as Henan, and allowed them to recruit talents and people from all over the country?"
Zhu Mingzhong nodded, and then said.
"Now that the clans have begun to settle the country, the principalities on the Annan side are all familiar land, and the clans only need to lead troops to pacify them, of course, they also need to emigrate, but more importantly, they can naturalize the local people. However, the kingdoms such as the Gui Domain were different, and the places they were going to were full of barbarians, and they not only needed the government guards to pacify them, but also needed the people to cultivate, so I would allow them to recruit the heroic and virtuous people in various places. ”
Why is it not allowed, after all, the establishment of those vassal states itself is for the purpose of diversion, in order to divert the remaining population of the country, although the population of the country is not large now.
"So what about the Northeast?"
Fang Yizhi asked directly.
"If all the immigrants go to the South Seas, what about the Northeast? Your Majesty, don't you want the Northeast? ”
Looking forward to the immigrants in the interior every day, for Fang Yizhi, who is the governor of the Northeast, he cares more about the Northeast, and even in the past two years, he has tested the thoughts of the cabinet ministers, and they are also inclined to the Northeast, after all, the Northeast is the interior, and the vassal states are ...... Just princes.
Interrupting Fang Yizhi's words, Zhu Mingzhong said.
"Now the population of Northeast China has exceeded 2.2 million."
Four years!
The population of the Northeast has increased several times, because the retired soldiers and prisoners who are placed in the Northeast will bring their families to the Northeast, coupled with a large number of exiles, which directly leads to a large surge in the population of the Northeast, although in terms of the Northeast region, the population is still sparse compared to the interior, but in terms of future development, in a few years, the population of the Northeast will exceed four million.
The reason why the population has surged so much is because after the first year of Xingqian, the Chengping of the world made the Ming Dynasty appear "baby boom", and it is most obvious in the northeast, because both retired soldiers and captives are in the prime of life, and they want to marry a little daughter-in-law in the mentality of fighting three more buckets of grain, it is not uncommon for them to accept flag girls and court girls as concubines, and in the newspaper, Zhu Mingzhong even read a news, saying that it was a soldier in the northeast who bought six flag girls from Mongolia at once, and gave birth to six children for him that year.
Obviously, for those who own hundreds of acres of land, under the premise of living a prosperous life, under the traditional idea of having many children and blessings, in the next ten years, they will give birth to a large number of the next generation, and after a few decades, the population of the Northeast may even exceed 10 million, and at that time, the Northeast will become a place that is completely indistinguishable from the hinterland, and of course, in this process, North Korea will also be absorbed.
"I remember that in the first half of this year, the new household registration in the Northeast was ......"
"About 275,000 people, of whom 210,000 are newborns and 65,000 are immigrants and exiles."
As the governor of the Northeast, Fang Yizhi naturally remembered these numbers very clearly, so he had to answer according to His Majesty's words.
"Then there should be no problem with breaking 500,000 this year, that is, the population will definitely exceed 2.5 million this year, so what about next year? 3 million, 3.5 million ...... the year after"
In fact, Zhu Mingzhong's mind is very clear-headed, he knows the problems of the Northeast, and of course he knows the future of the Northeast.
"In the next few years, the Northeast will add millions of new people."
Regarding the situation in the Northeast, Zhu Mingzhong has already remembered it all in his heart.
"It can be said that through the immigration of 350,000 retired officers and soldiers and prisoners of war, the population development of the Northeast has entered a virtuous circle, these 350,000 people, a year can reproduce 500,000 next generation, 18 years later, after they grow up, hundreds of thousands or even millions of people will be born every year, at most 50 years, the population of the Northeast will exceed 20 million, and now the Northeast has been fundamentally different from four years ago on the issue of immigration."
Fang Yizhi didn't make a sound after hearing this, but was thinking about His Majesty's words in his heart: he really ignored this point, only saw the current figures, and did not see the natural reproduction of the next generation in the future. Just as His Majesty said, the more than one million children born in the past few years will reproduce the next generation in the Northeast in 18 years, and in a few decades, the population of the Northeast will indeed exceed tens of millions!
After pondering for a long time, thinking of another question, Fang Yizhi decided to listen to His Majesty's opinion first.
"Your Majesty, in the Northeast, there is still a problem that there is a large influx of Korean immigrants, after all, the North Korean land is narrow and the people are poor, since His Majesty's Northern Expedition used a large number of Korean people, after the war, the Korean people have sold themselves to the Northeast to settle in the family of the lord, all of them with their wives, sons and daughters to the master's house, in recent years, a large number of Korean people have crossed the river to join relatives and friends, and now the North Koreans in the Northeast are almost no less than 500,000, and the minister is worried that they will become a hidden danger for my Ming Dynasty in the future......"
Zhu Mingzhong, who had witnessed the chaos brought about by Europe's "womb conquest" in later generations, was not surprised by Fang Yizhi's idea, and could even be said to be quite admired, after all, at this time, Chinese politicians were already aware of this problem, and Europeans ...... They don't realize the problem until they can't eat pork, or they choose to ignore it.
It's just that Zhu Mingzhong has already had his own opinions on this matter of the North Koreans, in fact, he has noticed this problem a long time ago, and he has already planned for this in his heart, so he asked directly.
"Fang Aiqing, did you tell those North Korean immigrants what they did after they entered the Northeast?"
Fang Yizhi hurriedly replied.
"Back to Your Majesty, they are all living in the master's house as domestic slaves, because I have abolished the poll tax, so there is no such thing as sending slaves to be exempt, and domestic slaves also need to serve servitude, and the master family does not dare to hide their secrets, after all, once discovered, they will be deprived of their property, and they will naturally not hide slaves."
"Oh, it turns out that they are all slaves in our lords' families."
Zhu Mingzhong sighed, such a North Korean is a good North Korean and knows his identity.
"Indeed, this is all thanks to Your Majesty's kindness, when Xu Joseon Laofu sold himself into slavery in the family of the lords, otherwise, I am afraid that those lords would not even be able to plant their own hundreds of acres of land!"
Fang Yizhi immediately complimented.
"I have been in the world, I have seen too many people, and I have read history books, but like the Northeast, it has only been a few years, and it has changed from a desolation to such a rich place today, which can be described as the only one, especially those families of honorable people, who often have hundreds of acres of fertile land, and two or three domestic slaves, half of the fertile land grows grain, half of which grazes sheep and cattle, and those Korean domestic slaves, men grow grain for them, women serve their masters, and children herd sheep for them, so that there is today's weak wealth, all of which are given by His Majesty back then."
"That's true!"
Zhu Mingzhong said quite helpfully.
If you say that the people there are most grateful to him in the whole world, I am afraid that they are the lords of the world, especially in the Northeast, those landlords, one by one, a small day after a nourishment. And the reason why it is so is because of his gift.
"In the past, when they retired from the army, they were often willing to return to Guannei, but now, they are willing to go to the Northeast, do you know why?"
"Hunting on horseback during the day, and sleeping at night as a Korean servant."
Zhu Mingzhong smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically.
"Who wouldn't want to live a day like this?"
Not to mention that such days are full of attraction for ordinary officers and soldiers, but also full of temptation for many officials, the reason why many people are willing to go to the northeast to serve as officials is because they can get "job fields" when they go to the northeast to serve as officials, although that piece of job field will not come in handy until they become officials in the future, but thousands of acres of fertile land are indeed very attractive to many people, especially in the case of restricting fields in the area, those lands are naturally full of temptation.
However, the job field will soon be abolished, because the Northeast is no longer a remote place as in the past, and it is necessary to use the job field to lure officials to take up their own posts in the Northeast.
"Since the North Korean beauty is in my arms, why worry about it?"
