Lao Wei returned to the cabinet room, and when they met, he mentioned to Ye Hua that Wei Xianmei, the secretary of the household department, took the initiative to ask for an order to be responsible for immigration matters...... Hearing the news, Ye Hua was not happy, but surprised...... Of course, he needs someone to preside over immigration, but immigration has never been fun.

Every large-scale immigration is accompanied by serious casualties, Zhang Xun and Lu Duoxun are guilty of crimes, and they are sent to emigrate, Wei Xianmei captured Lu Duoxun and captured Li Chongjin, he made a great contribution, he took the initiative to ask Ying, even if he has the intention to make meritorious contributions, Lao Wei should also stop it, how much danger is there, the shrewd Wei Xianggong will not be unclear, right?

"What's that...... I think it's better to choose another person, right? ”

Wei Renpu rolled his eyes, "What, you look down on my son?" Tell you, my son was an official in Youzhou back then, he was only a teenager, and he dared to buy and sell slaves, that kid had black hands! ”

Is this praising him or scolding him?

Ye Hua was dumbfounded, "I said...... Wei Xianggong, you won't let your son kick out of the house and come to me to take revenge on him, right? That's what's wrong with you......"

Lao Wei slapped the table angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about?" The old man's son wants to make meritorious deeds, and the old man fights for him, what's wrong? Ye Hua, the old man told you, don't think that you are the only one in the world who worries about the country and the people, the old man wants you to know what it means to be terrible! ”

Wei Xianggong said that he is full of confidence and confidence!

……

Not to mention, Wei Xianmei really impressed Ye Hua...... "Master Hou, here's the thing, Jiangnan has not experienced too many wars, it is densely populated and the land is scarce. And just planting mulberry cotton, the result is that there are more people and less land, and a large number of laborers pour into the city, and as far as the humble people know, the livelihood of the people in the southeast is very difficult. ”

"I think this is a good opportunity...... The so-called poor will change, change will be common, and the general will not be poor. At present, the imperial court can absorb the young and strong, enter the shooting club, learn to use the musket, and then give them a title deed, go to Liaodong, open up the tun reclamation, and all the land obtained belongs to them, without worrying about no one responding. ”

Ye Hua admired, "Your method is indeed good, and the time is ripe now, but the Jurchens in Liaodong are everywhere, and the people are complicated, if you want to immigrate abroad, you must make a plan, otherwise you will put the people to death!" ”

"I know it!"

Wei Xianmei said with a smile: "Master Hou, I plan it this way, the imperial court will send cavalry across the Great Wall, sweep those big tribes, and drive them away, and our people will occupy the vacant land, either farming or grazing...... Our household department mobilized a group of agronomists to help the people make arrangements. Then recruit businessmen to purchase the output of the people, all in all, the lowly position must be arranged in an all-round way, I dare not say that all the people can get rich safely, but at least more than ninety percent of the people can be safe! ”

Ye Hua asked the question of cost and subsidy again, and Wei Xianmei answered all of them, he estimated that he would need to pay five million taels in the first year, and after the second year, the development income would increase, and the actual expenditure of the imperial court would be reduced year by year. Within 20 years, whether it is Liaodong or the grassland, all of them will be included in the territory of the Great Zhou, and when the time comes, not only will it not cost money, but it will also increase the rich financial revenue of the imperial court.

Ye Hua thought patiently, and he suddenly smiled: "Let me remind you of one more thing, there is gold in Liaodong!" ”

"Gold?"

"Hmmm! The gold reserves in Liaodong are probably more than the entire Great Zhou! ”

Ye Hua didn't brag, there was gold in the northeast in later generations, and north of Heilongjiang, in the outer Xing'an Mountains, there was countless gold, and it is said that the Russians got 6,000 tons of gold there! That's a third of Russia's entire gold reserves!

Chai Rong once said that if he could build a gold courtyard, if he could get the gold of Liaodong back, this goal would be easily achieved!

Hearing the gold produced in Liaodong, Wei Xianmei couldn't help but be overjoyed, and slapped her hands again and again.

"It's good this time, I have more confidence in my humble position!"

……

Jinling City, the textile center of the southeast, is a super city with a population of 2.3 million.

Once the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Hongji, poured all the resources of the southeast to establish a huge textile workshop, which became the silk textile center of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the place where overseas merchants gathered. Since two years ago, workshops in the southeast have begun to purchase steam looms in large quantities.

What followed was the production of silk cloth, dozens of times, hundreds of times more!

The silk of Suzhou and the fine cloth of Jinling are sold all over the world.

The commercial tax of Jinling alone accounts for more than one-fifth of the entire southeast!

Named Jinling, it is indeed a city of gold!

It's just that gold everywhere does not belong to everyone, only those merchants who are engaged in textile, maritime trade, and finance can make a lot of money.

Ordinary people's lives are always difficult!

Fang Dafa is an ordinary businessman, he took over the noodle restaurant left by his father at the age of eighteen, and he has been working for eight years...... Many neighbors once laughed at him, thinking that the furry child could not support the family business. But Fang Dafa relied on his diligence and kindness, and he was stunned to make the noodle restaurant prosperous.

He uses the best flour and gives more than anyone else, and the soup is also boiled from lamb bones, which is delicious! In addition, he also delivered side dishes and rice soup for free...... Over time, there are more and more repeat customers, and no matter what time of year, the small noodle restaurant is full of customers.

Over the years, Fang Dafa has adhered to a bottom limit, for every bowl of noodles, he only earns one old money, and he doesn't want any more...... Earn money with your strength, and be practical!

It's just that Fang Dafa is in trouble today.

"Dafa, your business is good, starting next month, the rent of your shop will increase!"

It was Ma Xiang who spoke, a famous silk merchant in Jinling City, and also the landlord of Fang Dafa!

"Yo, it's Mr. Ma! It's such a trivial matter to increase the house money, just let the account room come and say it, why bother! ”

Ma Xiang smiled, "It's not a trivial matter, this time it will rise more!" ”

Fang Dafa's heart thumped!

"Up, up by much?"

Ma Xiang raised his slap and shook it, "Fifty taels!" ”

After saying that, the guy walked away...... Fang Dafa was dumbfounded, he just sells noodles, he can't earn three or five taels a month, and he costs fifty taels for one mouth, this is forcing people to close the door!

Don't say it, Fang Dafa guessed correctly, Ma Xiang just wanted to force him to get out, because Ma Xiang's business is getting bigger and bigger, and he wants to take back this piece of land and open a workshop.

Like Fang Dafa, many small merchants are in a state of panic and anxiety...... Some people tried to find a way to beg Ma Xiang, some people borrowed money from everywhere, and some people tried to raise the price to keep the store alive.

In the blink of an eye, at the beginning of the month, Fang Dafa's shop was closed, and he chose to leave.

Another three months have passed, Fang Dafa has changed his appearance, his face is dark, his fat belly is long gone, his body is full of bruises of all sizes, and his eyes are no longer like Maitreya Buddha, on the contrary, there is a trace of terrifying murderous aura.

Like many people, Fang Dafa used a small amount of money to buy a ferry ticket, set off from Jinling, and went straight to Liaodong.

Living by the river since he was a child, Fang Dafa did not suffer from seasickness.

He just hesitated, and in a fit of anger, he left his homeland, from a small businessman to a member of the armed reclamation group, and he didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong!

In fact, you can rent another store, rely on hard work, win customers again, and make business prosperous.

But Fang Dafa was worried, worried that the landlord would force himself away like Ma Xiang!

Only when you get your own land and be your own master will you not be controlled by others!

Two generations of the Fang family have worked hard to earn that little money, and eight of them have paid the rent.

"Grandma, I don't work for you anymore! The surname is Ma, look, one day Lao Tzu will be richer than you! Hahaha! ”

Fang Dafa laughed heartily, it took them almost twenty days before they finally saw a piece of land, the ship was docked at the makeshift pier, and a boatload of people came down from it.

"Listen, this is Suzhou!"

"Suzhou?" Although I was stunned by the boat, the big guy also knew that going to heaven and going to Suzhou and Hangzhou, how could he be like this?

"This is the original Suzhou of the Liao Kingdom, after my Great Zhou was recovered, I named Lushun...... Two months earlier, the army had cleared and driven out many Jurchen tribes. However, in the deep mountains and old forests, there may be many girls who are really born. Remember, if you want to stand firm, you need to watch and help each other, and learn to use the guns in your hands! Don't blame me for not reminding you, those raw ones eat human flesh! ”

After giving an explanation, he gave them everyone's salute and asked them to find a place to stay on their own. Fang Dafa followed a dozen people in a group for two days and settled in a valley near the coast.

Completely unfamiliar environment, testing their survival skills. Fang Dafa was still very capable, he used an axe to cut down wood and build a temporary triangular shed, three feet above the ground, so that the moisture could be avoided.

Fang Dafa still has thirty catties of rations, saving enough to eat for a month, and he still has a dozen taels of broken silver, but he is not ready to spend it, this is the money used to buy farm tools and seeds, or find a way to collect wild fruits, hunt some prey, and wait until there is a harvest, everything will be fine......

Fang Dafa had been thinking until the middle of the night, and suddenly, he heard a crisp sound, Fang Dafa hurriedly poked his head out, observed from the wooden house, and saw a black figure in the shape of a human figure, quietly approaching another wooden house not far away.

When he got closer, the guy raised a bow!

"It's a Jurchen!"

Fang Dafa knew too well that all of them in their group used muskets, and no one used bows and arrows!

Damn the Jurchens, they really came to kill!

At this moment, Fang Dafa barely thought about anything, he immediately finished loading, raised his musket, and aimed it at the black shadow...... At this moment, the black shadow was also ready to attack the people in the house, and in an instant, the musket rang out first, and half of a human head was knocked off!

In an instant, all the people in the wooden house woke up, everyone rushed out with muskets, Fang Dafa also walked out with a musket that was still smoking, at this moment, the big guys were excited!

Attaboy!

Hero!

"Brother Dafa, from now on, you will be our leader!" The rescued people shouted excitedly!
