Emperor Chongzhen suddenly missed those Spaniards and Dutch, although the unified name of these people was Francois barbarians, representing half-orcs, but Emperor Chongzhen still missed them.

Because Emperor Chongzhen suddenly felt that without these barbarians, there seemed to be a lot less fun at sea, and he tied the South China Sea Fleet to West Kunlun, which was not very in line with the interests of the Ming Dynasty at the moment.

Before killing the Spanish barbarians, in fact, we should have a good talk with the Dutch barbarians about the big business of labor export.

Especially when these barbarians don't mind selling their compatriots as coolies, this business should be talked about.

But now it's useless, and there's no business to talk about - everyone is dead, is it possible for people to talk to ghosts?

Emperor Chongzhen, who was secretly in pain, once again chose to go out of the palace to relax, and deliberately did not bring the queen and Concubine Yi and other harem concubines - the last time I was slapped in the face, let these little girls know about it, and they have to contract all the laughs of their thirteen years in Chongzhen!

Emperor Chongzhen, who left the palace alone, suddenly found that the population of the capital was much larger.

The capital, which was already slightly crowded, became more and more crowded after so many people suddenly poured in.

And almost all of these people have a common characteristic, they are all intentionally or unintentionally wandering not far from Shuntianfu, never far away, and people who have no place to live have pioneered the groundwork.

This damn scene, which is even more exaggerated than later generations, is it really the end of the twelfth year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty?

I don't know when it started, a few snowflakes began to fall in the sky, and these seemingly homeless people leaned against each other to keep warm, or casually spread out the broken quilt from unknown place and covered their bodies.

Many of the people who sold roasted sweet potatoes or other snacks nearby only shook their heads at the group of people, but they didn't come to do business, but only cast a slightly longing gaze on the passing pedestrians.

Emperor Chongzhen's face was a little unsightly-this was a slap in the face? Or slap the face of the Ming court?

After finding a nearby restaurant and sitting down, Emperor Chongzhen commanded in a low voice: "Pass Xu Xianchun over." ”

Xu Xianchun, who came in a hurry, saw Emperor Chongzhen's gloomy face, and his heart suddenly struck - Jinyiwei hasn't done anything angry recently, right? Even if it does, it's outside the Ming Dynasty, and His Majesty the Emperor shouldn't care, right?

After bowing and saluting, Xu Xianchun said cautiously: "Young master? ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down and say." ”

Xu Xianchun responded, sat down on the chair with half of his buttocks, and quietly waited for Emperor Chongzhen to speak.

Xu Xianchun never understood why his big boss was in such a hurry to summon him over on the way to the restaurant, and his face was so gloomy.

When it comes to spying on hundreds of officials, it is no exaggeration to say that even if Emperor Chongzhen wants to know what a magistrate in Guangdong ate at night and which concubine's room he slept in, all he needs is the time for information to be transmitted back and forth.

When it comes to the movements and infiltration outside the Ming Dynasty, although it is not as powerful as in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the movements of the surrounding countries are also clearly known, only the smaller countries that are farther away, and the progress of those Xiyi is slower.

However, Da Ming is not in a hurry to use troops over there now.

Why does the person in his own family look like someone else owes him tens of millions of taels?

Xu Xianchun's heart was thinking nonsense, but Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the root of the opposite wall outside the window of the restaurant, and said lightly: "What's the matter with those people?" ”

Xu Xianchun's heart secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Since it involves these people and not Jinyiwei himself, it is much easier to do, and it is really uncomfortable to be reprimanded, and it is the officials of the household department and Shuntian Mansion who are really uncomfortable.

And his own pro-army has always been hostile to these civil officials - if the factory guard gets together with the civilian system, what will Emperor Chongzhen do?

After bowing his hand slightly to Emperor Chongzhen, Xu Xianchun whispered: "Young master, those people were originally runaways or hidden households, and now although they are newly registered, there is no land allocated to them for a while, let alone a place for them to build a house, so these people will stay in Shuntian Mansion and not leave." ”

Emperor Chongzhen hummed and said, "What about Shuntianfu?" And there is nothing to place? What about almshouses? ”

Xu Xianchun said with a slight pain: "Young master, these people all have hands and feet, and some of them are dragging their families with their mouths, and the nursing home does not accept these people."

As for Shuntianfu, now they are also giving them some porridge every day, barely making these people starve to death. ”

Emperor Chongzhen's face darkened.

Hemp sells batches, there are so many people in front of Shuntianfu just by seeing it, what about other places? How many of these are there in other state capitals?

For such a thing that needs to perform query operations, because there is no good thing such as a computer, Emperor Chongzhen can only choose to ask Xu Xianchun - who let Jinyiwei have the information.

Faced with Emperor Chongzhen's question, Xu Xianchun thought for a long time and failed to give a specific number: "Young master, there are many people like this in the state capitals around the country, tens of thousands, and tens of thousands.

And how much is my Daming Prefecture? There is no way to calculate an exact number for a while, and it will take at least half a year to count. ”

After Xu Xianchun's words were finished, Emperor Chongzhen's face was no longer as simple as black, but gloomy and about to wring out the water.

According to the minimum standard, it is no problem for Daming to have 5,000 state capitals, right?

If the average is 10,000 people in each state capital, that's 50 million?

That's the fucking bare minimum......

Among the 50 million people, excluding the old and weak and women, there must be between 10 million and 20 million young and strong men left, right?

What a good workforce!

It turned out that the Ministry of Railways and the Ministry of Industry were about to beat people's brains into dog brains in order to rob the barbarians, so that there were more coolies to work, and the progress of the project in their own departments could be accelerated, so as to leave a good impression in front of the emperor?

The question is, how many barbarians have been acquired over the years? Before the capture of those 400,000 Tatars, this unit would be a million at most!

Now there are ten times as many young people in front of him as he can use, and he is really his mother!

After pointing to the wine jug on the table and signaling Xu Xianchun to pour the wine, Emperor Chongzhen whispered behind him again: "Order Xue Fengxiang, Hong Chengchou and Zhang Ruitu to come over." ”

Xue Fengxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, Hong Chengchou, the secretary of the Ministry of Railways, and Zhang Ruitu, the secretary of the Ministry of Communications, are not these three guys arguing all day long that there is not enough manpower, and the lawsuits of the war for people often go to the cabinet.

Now it's okay, there's no need to fight, more than 10 million people should be enough for them, right?

After Hong Chengchou and the others arrived, they saw Emperor Chongzhen drinking with Xu Xianchun with a leisurely face, and the three of them were secretly relieved.

I'm afraid that the emperor of my own family will smoke something crazy, which will make people unhappy!

After pointing to the chair and motioning for the three to sit down, Emperor Chongzhen once again pointed to the people at the base of the wall facing the restaurant: "Aren't the three always shouting that there is not enough manpower?" Isn't this readily available? ”

After Hong Chengchou arched his hand towards Emperor Chongzhen, he smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, the three of us have already beaten these people's ideas, but it didn't work out at all. ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at Hong Chengchou curiously, waiting for Hong Chengchou to give him an explanation, or give him an explanation later?

Hong Chengchou pondered and said: "Young master, it's not that we can't recruit some people now, but most of the people who come are ordinary people with land and land, and they plan to make some money while the farm is slack."

The people on the other side are now all honestly waiting for the arrangement of Shuntianfu, or they just want to wait for Shuntianfu to give them land, no matter where it is, even if it is from Liaodong or Nuergandusi.

As for going to work, these people basically don't plan to go because they feel that they are not stable without land, and they are willing to go to work. ”

I have a sentence about hemp selling batches, I don't know if to talk about it or not?

Emperor Chongzhen wanted to curse.

This kind of unstable thinking without land is still a bird even after a few hundred years, but it has changed from land to houses, and then gave birth to a group of Celestial Empire-style mothers-in-law, raising housing prices.

The question is, isn't it said that there has been a high degree of urbanization since the time of the Song Dynasty, and then freelancers and small craftsmen became popular?

Why did Daming still turn back the wheel of history?

After thinking about it, Emperor Chongzhen simply said, "What if we give them a higher salary?" ”

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as loyalty, loyalty is only because the price of betrayal is not high enough.

Although this sentence is biased and knocked everyone over with one shot, there is some truth in it after all.

The same is true for these people in front of them, if they don't want to pay less wages, then what about giving more? Isn't that what you want?

Hong Chengchou, Zhang Ruitu and Xue Fengxiang glanced at each other before they said cautiously: "Young master, the salary is higher, and the cost of this expenditure is too great?" ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but blush.

If you double your salary, there will be a lot of people who are willing to work, or even if you don't need to double it, there will be a lot of people who will.

But just like Hong Chengchou said, the cost is too big!

The household has had some surplus silver in recent years, and there is a lot of silver in his own internal money, but there is an egg?

Just like the sudden rainstorm in Zhejiang at the end of the twelfth year of Chongzhen, does the household department have to take the silver out to help? Do you have to use the money to buy people's hearts?

Who knows what kind of bird Chongzhen will look like in the thirteenth year and thirteen years later? How long has the Xiaoice climate lasted?

What's more, there is also a royal academy that is constantly burning money......

After repeated expansion, the Royal Academy is really a gold-swallowing monster, and a large amount of silver is thrown into it, and many times it disappears without even hearing a sound.

However, it is obviously unrealistic to expect that a junior high school student will rarely pass physics, chemistry and mathematics, and that he will study vocational high school in high school and that university will be a program of five junior colleges......

Emperor Chongzhen, who had a headache, rubbed his forehead again before he spoke: "I estimate that there should be nearly 10 million people like this outside, or even more, and it is a pity that they are so idle." ”

So you're going to throw the pot at the three of us to carry it, aren't you?

After complaining in his heart, Hong Chengchou thought about it and said, "Otherwise, please ask Steward Wen to come over and discuss?" ”

Emperor Chongzhen snorted, but then turned the topic back to these people: "Suppose that the government promised them to allocate land, and then let them go to work first?" ”

Hong Chengchou pondered for a while and said, "It's not impossible, but in this way, how long do these people work?"

In addition, this matter still needs to be negotiated with the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Railways, and the Ministry of Communications alone cannot decide such a big matter? ”

Emperor Chongzhen said: "A year? Two years? And then look at the performance of labor to determine the size of the land area they allot? ”

After thinking about it, there was still no good solution, and Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered: "Let's wrap up this restaurant first, and then go to pass Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou over." ”

Xu Xianchun's movements are very fast, and it is really easy for Jin Yiwei to clear a restaurant.

As for the speed at which Wang Chengen ordered people to find Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou, it was not so fast - it took less than half a star to rush from the offices of the cabinet ministries to this restaurant not far from Shuntianfu.

Moreover, Wen Tiren and Guo Yunhou are not like Xu Xianchun who can rush over quickly, so the speed is naturally slower.

By the time the two of them arrived at the restaurant, the table had been rearranged and the original ones had been removed.

After saluting Emperor Chongzhen, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the chair and said, "Sit down, let's discuss things while eating today." ”

In fact, among the people present, except for Emperor Chongzhen, the remaining few people didn't like to eat this meal very much-eating with the emperor was a lot of pressure!

Do you want to clip this favorite dish? If you don't clip it, won't you give the emperor face? Can you toast the emperor when you want to drink? Could it be considered that the emperor was deliberately drunk?

In short, eating with other people is all kinds of comfort, and eating with the emperor is all kinds of awkwardness.

Even Emperor Chongzhen felt awkward - eating with these ministers was far less casual than eating together when he was on an expedition with his troops.

Seeing that the squirming ministers had no appetite, Emperor Chongzhen also ordered someone to withdraw the banquet after a few bites, and brought the tea again.

After drinking a few cups of tea in a silent silence, Emperor Chongzhen spoke: "Let's talk about it, what should these people outside do?" ”
