The Ming Dynasty was very lively because of the immigration, and there were men and women who did not want to leave their poor hometown and wept everywhere. After reading the twists and turns of the imperial history, the emperor smiled slightly and said: "File it, let me be scolded first, and we'll see it in a year." ”

Wang Tiqian hesitated for a while and said, "Holy Lord, don't you deal with a few of these imperial histories ruthlessly?" It's better to serve with a court staff, they already like to ask for a court staff. ”

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Why do you want to deal with them, the imperial history should have heard about it, and besides, what they said is right, these people who were forcibly emigrated cried miserably." Don't think about making everyone in the world have the same idea, the same statement, maybe the temporary coercion is effective, but it is absolutely impossible to maintain it for too long. Therefore, different voices must not be suppressed, especially this kind of voice for the good of the court and the people. ”

Wang Tiqian said again: "Holy Lord, they are doing this, of course, for the good of the people, but it is not good for the court." ”

Zhu Youxiao said: "Why is it bad for the imperial court?" There is no doubt that what is good for the people is what is good for the court. The imperial history complained about the grievances of the common people, which was good to the imperial court, although the imperial court was a little unable to step down for a while, but this is the consequence that we must bear if we force others to emigrate. Although we know that this kind of immigration is the best, but the people don't know it, and the imperial history reflects the real situation below, and we should encourage it, not the court staff. The decree went down and gave a reward of ten yuan to each of the imperial historians who wrote the book, but the forced immigration continued. ”

So there was a strange phenomenon, the imperial history kept being written, and the emperor kept rewarding the imperial history that was written, but there was no intention of changing the course at all. Far from weakening, the intensity of forced immigration has intensified as the Immigration Guidance Bureau has become more sophisticated.

There are many people in mountainous areas who have been forcibly evicted from entire villages. The officials of the Immigration Guidance Bureau first ask them if you want to go to the South or the North, and tell them the advantages and disadvantages of the South and the North truthfully, so that they can choose. After they have chosen, they are escorted directly to the immigration point. Although it was said to be an escort, it was actually followed by the Jinyi Guard and the local army step by step, and they were not allowed to be freed until they reached the settlement point. In the vast sea or thousands of miles away, even if you have the heart to escape back, there is no way.

And some people who try to escape to avoid the fate of immigrants, Jinyiwei directly issued a sea fishing document, and after being caught, he was directly escorted to the immigration point.

The words used in the imperial history book are getting more and more powerful, and even the people's grievances are boiling, but they are still like a stone sinking into the sea, and there is no response at all. Oh, there are still repercussions, the emperor will reward you with ten yuan, and the eunuch who pronounced the decree will pass on the emperor's dictation: "It's hard work." ”

This made the imperial historians confused, and at this time, the inspectorate was Li Banghua, and the imperial historians went to their bosses to solve their doubts. Li Banghua smiled: "Don't you understand what this means? Your Majesty is very happy that you have reflected the real situation, so I will reward you. ”

The imperial historians asked, "But after we played, His Majesty did not change the policy of forced immigration?" ”

Li Banghua smiled: "Have you ever seen that immigrants live a hard life, or are they abused and deceived? ”

The imperial historians said: "This is indeed not true, but forcing others to leave their homes, and its sorrow resounded in the wilderness, is this not enough for Your Majesty to change this policy of harming the people?" ”

Li Banghua said: "I only know that the immigrants have a better life on the road than in their hometown, let alone after they arrive in the land of immigration. As long as we see this, then we know that there is not much of a problem with this immigration policy. As for the sad old place, isn't it just a year? As long as you don't feel satisfied after immigrating, you can come back after a year, what's there to be sad about. You pay more attention to whether the local officials have deceived, abused, and withheld money and food from the immigrants, and whether the immigrants are sad or not, you don't need to pay too much attention, just a year. ”

The imperial historians asked again: "Then the emperor rewarded us and didn't care about what we said, what does that mean?" ”

Li Banghua laughed and said: "This meaning is too obvious, that is, let us speak, encourage us to speak." The matter of immigration has been studied by the cabinet and various ministries, and the current immigration measures are implemented in accordance with the "Daming Immigration Rules". In this case, His Majesty did not reprimand the imperial history, but to convey a meaning: the imperial history must dare to do things, and the imperial history must dare to speak. Gentlemen, Your Majesty's encouragement, when did our imperial history receive such encouragement from the emperor, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, how many officials died in the court staff, we all know in our hearts. So now is the best era for the official, we, as the imperial history, should remember the responsibility of the imperial history, gentlemen, let's work together. ”

After receiving an affirmative answer from the boss, the imperial history really burst out with greater enthusiasm, since the grief of the immigrants can no longer make His Majesty the Emperor change his mind, then let the immigration work be carried out in a more orderly and reasonable manner. Sure enough, not long after, three minor officials were found out by the imperial history for receiving benefits when they immigrated, and the court sent them to a labor camp after approval, and what awaited them was ten years of labor reform, and the decision that they could no longer hold public office.

Perhaps fearing the cold of the north, most of the southern immigrants chose to migrate to places such as Medan, Bo Ni and Pattani. The northern settlers, on the other hand, feared the scorching heat of the south, and largely chose the newly occupied areas north of the North Sea. The immigrants are basically people living in poverty, so when they come to the settlement, they find that the land here is flatter, the products here are more abundant, and the houses here are far better than the dilapidated huts in their hometowns. The farm implements, clothing, livestock, and grain that had been prepared long ago were handed out as soon as they arrived, and the officials of the settlement took them to see the boundaries of the fields to which they had been allocated, and then ignored them.

The grain sent down was enough for them to eat until the harvest season, and they could only eat it until then, so they had no choice but to open the fields and sow seeds. Migrants, both willing and unwilling, quickly plunged into agricultural production.

In fact, the resettlement of migrants has already begun in the previous resettlement process, but the number of migrants at that time was not large, and it was not easy to find fellow villagers from the same place. Now, after large-scale immigration, people from a village or even several nearby villages are separated together, listening to the local sounds every day, greeting familiar villagers across the ridges, and occasionally buying a few bottles of wine at the agricultural cooperative with the little money they have brought, and drinking two glasses with a few people, which seems to be more interesting than at home.
