When Sun Yuanhua heard that the emperor said that at least one million households should be deployed on the North American continent, he couldn't help but gasp.

If it's 100,000 households, you may be able to make it up, and if you put it together, you can't make it up if you go anywhere!

He had the courage to say frankly: "Your Majesty, there are so many guards, you can't get together at all." “

Zhu Cijiong nodded again and said, "I know that I came to you to discuss the expansion of the garrison, do you think the strategy of expanding the garrison is feasible?" “

When Sun Yuanhua heard this, he couldn't help but light up, now the tunwei is fragrant, I don't know how many people want to turn into a tunwei, but there are too many yamen involved in the transformation of household registration, and the military department is tantamount to digging people's walls, if the emperor doesn't mention it, he doesn't even dare to think about it.

Now, since the emperor has mentioned it, it is naturally no problem, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The emperor is wise, this expansion of the tunwei is a great thing, there are many commanders of the capital guards who have asked Weichen, and many of their relatives and friends want to transfer to become military households, but Weichen can't help them." “

Zhu Cijiong couldn't help but be surprised when he heard this: "There is such a thing, why haven't you mentioned it to me?" “

Sun Yuanhua explained embarrassedly: "Your Majesty, this peasant household is under the management of the Ministry of Households, the artisan households are under the management of the Ministry of Industry, the military households are under the management of the Ministry of War, the Lehu is under the management of the Ministry of Rites, the crime is under the management of the Criminal Department, and the officials are under the management of the Ministry of Officials. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he couldn't help but blush, he really hadn't thought about this, indeed, if Sun Yuanhua opened this opening, then the farmers would no longer farm, and the artisan households would no longer work, and all of them would come to be military households, it would not be a mess.

Now it seems that the two million households are not too much, but less, and he asked tentatively: "Since there are so many people who want to transfer their nationality, it should be no problem to expand the number of military households by two million." “

Sure enough, Sun Yuanhua said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that two million households are not enough, if you can turn it, it is estimated that most of the people want to turn it into a military household." “

Zhu Cijiong really didn't expect the people to have this kind of thought, because in his opinion, although the income of the garrison military household has increased, they have to risk their lives to fight for the country, and they may sacrifice at any time, rushing to be a garrison, isn't that a typical case of asking for money and not dying!

He didn't know, there are really a lot of people who don't want to die for money at this time, you must know that since the Ming Dynasty was leveled, the common people have let go of life, and there is more than one young man in a family.

Even if they sacrifice their lives for the country, many people are willing, because their sacrifice can be exchanged for the happiness of the whole family.

Besides, the casualty rate of the Ming army is actually not high, and at most one or two out of ten people will be sacrificed.

Since everyone is not afraid of death, then good, Zhu Cijiong said arrogantly: "Then simply expand to two hundred capitals, save the future and lack of people, and have to expand again." “

Two hundred dusina is a thousand health centers, five thousand thousand households, a full five million six hundred thousand households, and the population is at least thirty or forty million!

You know, at this time, the local population of Daming is more than 100 million people, in order to ensure loyalty, this military household can only be recruited in Daming, that is to say, a small half of Daming has to be converted into a military household, is this a bit reckless?

In fact, the current garrison households are not simple reserves, and they actually bear a large number of economic functions.

Although they don't have to pay taxes for farming, they still have to pay taxes for transactions.

Now Tunwei is not just farming, all the mining of mineral deposits in the Ming Dynasty is now transferred to the hands of Tunwei in various places, and this alone generates taxes far more than their income from farming.

There are also things like timber, medicinal herbs, animal skins, animal meat, and local specialties, which add up to the transaction tax that is enough to offset the tax on their farming.

Tunwei has become the main body of the production and supply of raw materials in Daming, and has a huge role in promoting the economic development of Daming.

At the same time, they played an irreplaceable role in maintaining the stability of the newly occupied territories, assisting colonial expansion, and ensuring the quality of regular legion soldiers.

It can be said that Tunwei has become the foundation of the strength of the Ming Empire, accounting for a small half of the local population, which is not much.

In view of the fact that the income of the tunwei far exceeded that of ordinary people, Sun Yuanhua estimated that as soon as the intention of expanding the tunwei was made, the quota of military households would be robbed madly, and he specially suggested to Zhu Cijiong that the corresponding quota should be given according to the number of ordinary people in various places.

That is to say, add up the total population of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, the two Xingdu Divisions, and the Chengtian Mansion in Liaodong, and then allocate the quota according to the proportion of the population in each place, so that there will be no situation of robbery.

Zhu Cijiong naturally had no opinion on this, and according to Sun Yuanhua's proposal, he asked the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry to jointly issue an official document, ordering the prefectures, prefectures, and county yamen to be responsible for the specific enrollment and registration, and all localities were responsible for the approval of the embassy, and finally the Ministry of War was to review and confirm.

At the same time, he also asked the "Beijing News" to publish the entire advertisement, announcing the news of the expansion of Tunwei, and also attached the registration review process.

As for the cantonment officers at all levels, they naturally could not be selected among the ordinary people, so Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a while, and simply issued an order to let the military department unite with the army, navy, and local security offices to jointly nominate cantonment officers.

Among them, all commanders, commanders of guards, and thousands of households and other five-rank and above are directly selected from the veterans of the regular regiment, and the military rank and grade are determined according to military merits and grades before retirement.

The 100 households, the general flag, and the small flag were selected from the various divisions and health offices and veterans, and equal emphasis was placed on military merit and experience.

As soon as the news of the expansion of the Tunwei was announced, the entire Ming Dynasty was once again a sensation.

At present, the income of the garrison is so high that it is obvious to all, and even the income of a thousand households can exceed that of a county order, and the income of an ordinary military household is four or five times higher than that of peasant households and artisan households.

The yamen of the state and county governments around the country is really about to be stepped on, and almost everyone who can register has signed up.

It is a pity that the military households are mainly selected from the peasant households, and it is difficult for the artisan households to be selected, and as for the happy households and criminal registrations, as well as the commercial registrations under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Commerce, and the Confucian registrations under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Education, there is no chance at all.

In fact, this has also increased the income level of peasant households in disguise, because the total amount of cultivated land under the names of peasant households was fixed, and now after nearly 30 percent of the peasant households have been withdrawn, the remaining peasant households' cultivated land is equal to 30 percent more.

And this 30% does not mean gross income, most of the original farmland of farmers is to supply their own rations, and it is good to have 3 achievements left, and this extra 30% is actually net income.

In this way, the net income of farmers has actually doubled, not 30%!

This time, Sun Yuanhua was busy enough, the Tunwei didn't just report their names and then screen them, and they would be done after reviewing them, but they also had to arrange officers at all levels, and they had to arrange assembly sites, and they had to be equipped with basic weapons and equipment, etc., etc.

The management of more than 2 million households is a huge workload, which can be imagined!
