The idea of the cabinet was that the 60,000 new recruits recruited from Gui Province, Canton Province, and other places in order to eliminate the Jiaozhi thieves should be persuaded as much as possible to all of them to change jobs and stay in Annam.

Veterans who are willing to change jobs also agree.

Each of these demobilized soldiers received 100 acres of fertile land, a small building with a single courtyard, two ploughing oxen, two slaves and a female slave, a full set of furniture, farm tools, and rations and seeds for the first year.

In order to ensure safety, everyone can bring a gun to retire from the army, so that they can hunt and subsidize their families when they have nothing to do.

This was not a lucrative package, and eventually most of the recruits and a few veterans decided to settle down in Annam.

In this way, the empire suddenly had a core population of 65,000 households in the newly formed province of Annam, which was great news for the stability of a province that had been separated from the motherland for hundreds of years.

In addition to the transfer of soldiers, the cabinet also agreed that Annam Province would recruit Han immigrants to the local settlement, and that the purchase of land, farm tools, and slaves by Han Chinese in Annam would be calculated at half the price of the local area.

Su Mian, who was appointed as the first political envoy of Annam, hoped to expand the Han population in the province to 100,000 households within three years, and the household department agreed.

But until the population reaches the desired size, Annam's development will have to rely on less reliable foreigners.

According to preliminary statistics, there are almost 30 million mu of fine arable land on both sides of the fertile Fuliang River, and even if there are 100,000 migrant households, each household will only account for one-third of the 100 mu.

As an agrarian nation, the Han people will not let so much land be left unreserved, and of the remaining 20 million mu of land, the cabinet dedicated 8 million mu to the royal family as the imperial village, and the rest is planned as a state farm.

The royal family and the cabinet would send special administrators to control the lands, and the task of cultivating them would naturally be left to the slaves.

The Jiaozhi slaves who remained in Annam and were not sold, except for a part of the slaves who went to Hongji to dig coal, the rest would be divided into a class of 7 people, mixed with 3 slaves of other nationalities (mainly Fuso), and 1 alien squad leader (mainly obedient Waibo such as Goryeo), each class would be responsible for the cultivation of a piece of land.

If all the grain is planted, the royal family and the state-owned agricultural company in Annam Province can provide no less than 50 million stone commercial grain for the empire every year, and if you add the income of private agriculture, this grain is even enough for all Han people to eat for half a year at this time!

Of course, it is not possible to grow all of it for food, and a large part of that land is used to grow more profitable cash crops – such as sugar cane.

But even so, if the economy of Annam Province develops smoothly, it will still play a very important role in solving the problem of food security in the empire.

According to the pre-war plan, the only land under the direct control of the empire was the banks of the Phu Liang River, the location of large coal mines such as Hongji, the transportation arteries such as Menzhou, and a few coastal ports in Annam Province.

The rest of the corner land, because there is no manpower to develop, can only be assigned to the Dongman who followed the Chinese army all the way to manage.

For this reason, in accordance with the traditional practice of the empire, the cabinet canonized 16 Waibo viscounts and 22 Waibo barons in Annam Province.

The viscount is calculated according to the population limit of 500 households, and the baron is calculated according to the population limit of 200 households, and the remaining land of Cochin is distributed according to the household.

However, as a reward for the Empire's reward, these Dongman, who migrated to Annam Province, will all change their land to their hometowns in Gui Province, and change their local officials to Liuguan, and organize their households into people, and no longer have any rights independent of the empire.

……

In January 1797, Jinling, the Emperor's Palace.

Under the influence of Xu Shiyang, the empire has the most important Spring Festival among all festivals of the year.

Now this trend has spread to the whole country, even his Laozi, Emperor Xu Muhe.

There is no doubt that this year is another Spring Festival that makes Xu Muhe very happy.

"Southern Mountains and Henan Emperor's Residence?"

In the back garden of the half-built Changle Palace (named after the Jinling Imperial Palace), the most noble (although the actual power is not as big as that of his son) in the world, Xu Muhe, the republican emperor of the Chinese Empire, was half-leaning on the Hu bed, looking at the good news in his hand with a smile.

"Hehe, return the Southern Emperor, don't say anything else, this Li Changjie is arrogant enough."

"If he wasn't arrogant enough, how could he dare to invade my Dahua and harm my people." A white-faced middle-aged eunuch bent down and hung his head, stood beside Xu Muhe, and whispered in a somewhat shrill voice: "As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrive, this kind of clown who jumps off the beam will be wiped out. ”

The Imperial Palace did not recruit Han eunuchs, but the eunuchs left over from the previous week were all retained because Xu Shiyang feared that they would not be able to survive outside.

In addition, he did not want foreign eunuchs to rise to a high position and control the internal affairs of the palace, so he agreed to let these royal servants of the previous week continue to serve his family.

Xu Muhe trusted the eunuchs of the former Zhou like his son, but the ten exceptions in front of him named Cao Shaoqin were originally stuffed into the Heqin fleet by Emperor Jianxing and prepared to be given to the Jurchen Tartars.

The Chinese army hijacked the Heqin fleet, and this eunuch refused to return to Jiangnan because of his complaints about the Great Zhou court, but stayed in the Dadu Governor's Mansion at that time, responsible for serving Xu Muhe.

Up to now, it has been almost twenty years, and the original low-level little eunuch has become a middle-aged eunuch, and has also become one of Xu Muhe's most trusted chamberlains.

"Hahaha! Xiaocao, you said it well! Xu Muhe laughed proudly: "Those who offend me will be wiped out!" ”

"Holy Lord, this cross-toe jumping beam has been wiped out, but how should those thieves and nobles clean up?" Cao Shaoqin asked cautiously: "Now, there is a shortage of manpower ...... the palace. ”

The empire now has three palaces: Meiquan Palace in Quancheng, Changle Palace in Jinling, and the Prince's Palace in Yanjing.

The three major palaces all need chamberlains, but Xu Shiyang, who holds real power, does not agree to recruit Han eunuchs, so there is not enough chamberlain - in fact, the emperor feels that the palace women are not enough.

"Well, that's true."

Xu Muhe remembered that only a few palaces had been repaired in Changle Palace, and there were many places in the repaired parts that had not yet been cleaned.

This is a great need for manpower.

"Li Changjie is like that, so naturally he has to hand it over to the Criminal Department to deal with, and everything that should be scraped will be scraped. The punishment is not cruel enough to deter Xiaoxiao. ”

The Emperor instructed:

"As for the puppet emperor Li Qiande...... tell the Criminal Department that I mean not to waste food, let's kill them together."

According to the traditional Chinese method, the captured enemy emperors and magnates should usually be given a tablet such as "Zhongshun Gong" and "Xushun Marquis" to be offered in the capital to show the benevolence and righteousness of Chinese orthodoxy.

However, the empire is not a traditional Chinese dynasty, and it has never been in the habit of treating the enemy well from beginning to end, unless the enemy voluntarily surrenders, otherwise the captured head of the enemy country, the empire has always used cruel methods to completely eliminate it.

This is true for the Jurchen Wanyan family, for the famous party Xiangwei, and for the Mengwu Zamuhe.

Now for the Jiaozhi Li family, the empire does not plan to make too many changes.
