"Your Majesty!"

The next morning, as soon as Zhang Lingyang expressed his thoughts, Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household department, said: "In the past ten years, the imperial court has emigrated more than 10 million people to Liaodong, and at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains in the Hexi Corridor and Western Xinjiang, there are more than 1 million immigrants, and more than 100,000 immigrants in Siberia.

In the remaining Nanyang region, Annam has 1.5 million immigrants, Myanmar has 2.1 million, Borneo has 1.8 million, and Luzon has 1.7 million......

According to the statistics of the Ministry of Households, the total number of people who moved from the interior to the vassal states was 7.5 million. ”

"At the end of last year, the statistics submitted by your household department showed that in the past ten years, the population of Dazhou has increased by more than 20 million." Zhang Lingyang said, "I am worried that in the long run, I am afraid that in 20 years, the population of my Great Zhou will exceed 650 million, and after 50 years, the population will even exceed 80,000."

There is only so much land in the country, and I am afraid that if I do not solve this problem now, but leave it to future generations, I am afraid that there will be a huge conflict at that time. ”

"The old minister thinks that His Majesty is a little filtered!" Chen Yiming, the secretary of the ministry, came out and said, "Although at this growth rate, the population of the Great Zhou will indeed exceed 80,000 in fifty years, but compared with ten years ago, the territory of my Great Zhou has increased by more than ten times.

Therefore, the old minister thought that these problems were not at all groundless, and His Majesty did not need to worry too much. ”

"Those who do not seek a hundred generations are not enough to seek a moment!" Zhang Lingyang said, "Whether there is a problem with my worries, I believe that all the ministers can measure it in their hearts. ”

"Your Majesty's meaning has been understood!" Zheng Yongji, the first assistant of the cabinet, who had been silent, suddenly said at this time: "According to the old minister's meaning, on both sides of the Heilongjiang River in the northeast of Liaoning, about five million people can immigrate.

However, the Nanyang region has a vast land, rice is harvested three times a year, and it is not a problem to emigrate another 20 million people.

Anzhou is also a vast area of land, but considering that Anzhou is only suitable for coastal areas to live in, it is not a problem to emigrate to 5 million people.

As for the five Central Asian countries, they can immigrate about 3 million, and any more may have problems! ”

"I wonder if the old minister's suggestion is reasonable?" Finally, Zheng Yongji looked at Zhang Lingyang and asked.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhang Lingyang said: "In this way, the land pressure of 30 million people can be solved, which is not bad." ”

Regarding Zheng Yongji's proposal, although Zhang Lingyang was not very satisfied, he still nodded and agreed.

The reason is very simple: the migration of these 30 million people alone is a very difficult problem, and it cannot be solved in two or three years.

If this matter is rushed, the final result will only backfire, so Zhang Lingyang reluctantly agreed to Zheng Yongji's proposal.

And even the problem of the immigration of these 30 million people will take the imperial court about ten years to solve.

"Then first immigrate to Anzhou, which will be implemented in five years, and at least one million immigrants a year.

In addition, the Department of Immigration has been established, which is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs and is responsible for immigration issues. Finally, Zhang Lingyang said.

While speaking, Zhang Lingyang slandered in his heart: "Immigrating overseas is trouble!" ”

Take Anzhou as an example, Anzhou is not far from the mainland of the Great Zhou, and if you want to immigrate millions to Anzhou within a year, the ships required are not a small number.

And it is impossible for the imperial court to collect all the ships for immigration, which is simply unrealistic.

Therefore, according to the current shipping capacity of Dazhou, it is already a limit to be able to immigrate one million people to Anzhou in a year.

If there is more, it will affect the normal economic development of Dazhou.

After saying this, Zhou An, the minister of the military cabinet, came out and asked: "Your Majesty, the Western Expeditionary Army has captured more than 50,000 Europa coalition prisoners of war, I don't know what to do with these prisoners of war?" ”

"All of them will be assigned to Anzhou to mine!" This was what Zhang Lingyang had planned for a long time, so when he saw Zhou An asking, Zhang Lingyang didn't have to think about it, so he replied directly.

"In addition, the Jews have applied to the imperial court to buy 100,000 rifles, 3 million rounds of ammunition, 500 artillery pieces, and 100,000 shells, and I wonder if Your Majesty agrees?" Zhou An asked again.

"Grant their request!" After pondering carefully, Zhang Lingyang replied, "All weapons and ammunition will be sold to them at double the original cost price." ”

The cost price has doubled, which is the normal transaction price of weapons and ammunition, and it is not that Zhang Lingyang slaughtered the Jews as fat sheep.

"At the beginning of the war, the imperial court transferred 100,000 cattle and horses from Wara to transport logistical materials, during which a total of more than 5,000 cattle and horses died along the way.

"100,000 cattle and horses, each subsidy to the herdsmen two taels of silver. In addition, those sacrificed cattle and horses, in addition to the compensation according to the market price premium of 30%, the compensation of these two taels of silver must also be paid! Zhang Lingyang said.

"Now that the Western Expeditionary Army has arranged all the affairs of West Asia and applied for return to China, what standards should be followed for all kinds of bereavement benefits and rewards?" Zhou An asked again.

"Executed to the highest standards!" Zhang Lingyang said.

While Zhou An and Zhang Lingyang asked and answered each other, Zhu Kaishan, the head of the household, kept twitching the corners of his mouth, and his face was a little pale.

Because, Zhou An's lack of a question meant that the household department had to take out a large sum of silver.

And every answer from Zhang Lingyang means that the household department has to take out more silver.

As the head of the household, it is strange that Zhu Kaishan can be happy.

At this time, Zhu Kaishan saw that Zhou An was going to ask again, so he hurriedly came out and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the household still owes a lot of debt!" ”

Hearing this, Zhou An looked at Zhang Lingyang, not knowing whether to ask about the next thing, because all the questions Zhou An wants to ask today are actually one word: ask the court for silver!

And Zhang Lingyang's side, after listening to Zhu Kaishan's words, was obviously stunned, and then said stupidly: "Then why don't you end here today?" ”

"Farewell to the minister!" Seeing that Zhang Lingyang was finally willing to open his mouth to go down, Zhu Kaishan didn't think about it, and hurriedly said a sigh of relief.

Because, the household department finally doesn't have to dig out the money anymore today.

When Zhang Lingyang left the palace, Zhu Kaishan also hurriedly followed out of the palace.

I didn't want to just walk out of the main hall, and Zhou An, the military cabinet minister behind him, shouted and chased after him, "Zhu Shangshu, slow down!" ”

"I don't know what happened to Zhou Junge looking for the old man?" Zhu Kaishan was puzzled.

"Naturally, I want silver!" Zhou An smiled and said, "Your Majesty has already nodded about it, Zhu Shangshu won't forget it so quickly, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Zhu Kaishan said, "Just wait until you go back to Zhou Junge, make a list and hand it to the old man's household department!" ”

"Then it's decided!" Zhou An smiled and hugged his fist, turned around and left.

No, Zhou An had just left, and Zheng Yongji, the first assistant to the cabinet, came up again and said to Zhu Kaishan: "Your Majesty has handed over the matter of immigration to your household department.

In addition, the household department also has to set up a settlement in Anzhou in advance and build houses there, and all kinds of daily necessities are not available, understand? ”

"Xia Guan understands!" Zhu Kaishan replied with a bitter face, and at the same time complained a little in his heart: "Why do you have to spend money again?" ”
