Xiao Ruxun is in full swing here, but Na Ruixuan is frowning.

"Yesterday, my lord, one hundred and twenty-seven peasant families and fifty-seven soldiers went to Burma."

Lin Yuanshan stood in front of him and handed him a statistic that he didn't want to see.

"Gone again?"

Narixuan asked with some loss.

"Yes, I'm gone again."

Lin Yuanshan replied very definitely: "The land grant of Zhennan Hou Mansion is true, all the people in the past, there is at least one young and strong man in the family have been given enough fertile land, some villages have been established, Zhennan Hou also led troops to build houses and cities before the population arrived, and now a large settlement has been formed around Bagu City, at least more than 10,000 households are settling, Zhennan Hou did not deceive people. ”

Narexuan sighed again.

"I knew that Zhennanhou didn't plan to go back, why did I put so much effort into it? I thought I could divide at least half of the land, but I didn't expect to get only that many places......"

After Xiao Ruxun pacified Burma, Narui Xuan, as the king of the vassal country with the greatest contribution, received official titles, titles and in-kind rewards, and was given to him by Xiao Ruxun the territory of the narrow strip south of Mawlamyine, which was considered to be comforting, but the vast land of Myanmar was accepted by the Ming Dynasty with a smile, and it was not picked out at all, and then Xiao Ruxun's summons also poached tens of thousands of Chinese from Siam in one go.

The officials have gone a lot and gone to the Zhennanhou Mansion, and Na Ruixuan can't keep it.

"Is it because the king doesn't treat them well enough? Myanmar is poor and white, and the war has just been quelled, how can it be comfortable here? ”

Narexuan asked incomprehensibly.

"The plot of the old country is difficult to give up, in the past, I didn't dare to go back, but now that I can go back, most people are still willing to go back, not to mention the land granted, there are no court officials there, many people are willing to go over, this is also a helpless thing."

Lin Yuanshan explained simply.

Na Ruixuan looked at Lin Yuanshan: "Why don't you go?" ”

Lin Yuanshan bowed deeply and said: "The king treats the old minister as much as a mountain, and the old minister's family has received the grace of the king's life, and there is no reason to leave. ”

Na Ruixuan felt a little warm in his heart, looked at Lin Yuanshan, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "I should have known that I couldn't keep them, Daming is too powerful, with Daming here, how could they take the initiative to join me?" However, if the land of Myanmar develops in the future, it is indispensable to cooperate with Siam in many ways, Lin Qing, when the time comes, I will ask you to contact Xiao Hou more and earn a benefit for my Siamese country. ”

Lin Yuanshan smiled and said, "The old minister obeys orders!" ”

This kind of situation happened in various small countries in Southeast Asia, and Siam, these small countries are still quite cautious about whether to use the Chinese as officials, the Chinese have always been outsiders, no sense of belonging, and as soon as they were called by the Ming army, they immediately packed their luggage and dragged their families to board the Ming warship, and went to the new territory of their country with the warship to live a new life.

At this time, the small countries realized the importance of these Chinese immigrants, those important jobs were no one to do, important technologies were not provided, the population was much smaller, tax revenues plummeted, and many wealthy merchants also took the initiative to leave these small countries because the local market shrunk greatly.

Narui Xuanxiong's willingness to use Chinese to join the country's leadership has also gained a group of Chinese allegiance, so Siam is the only vassal state that has not been hollowed out of Chinese immigrants, as for the Philippines, it was played by the Spanish authorities Some small tricks, the Ming army did not trouble them for the time being, after a wave of immigration, with the imminent arrival of internally displaced refugees, Xiao Ruxun recalled all the warships and soldiers, and began to prepare for the next heavy work.

According to the approximate statistics, this group of internal refugees arriving in Myanmar is about 30,000, and this is only a part, the ships can not bring all of them back, soon, there will be a group of refugees to arrive, the number of this group of refugees is also about 30,000, that is to say, this first wave of immigration to Myanmar brought about 100,000 Han people, for Myanmar, which is poor and white, there is no Han people, it is really a great progress.

However, compared to any state and county in the country, covering an area of about two North Korea-sized Burmese towns, but only 100,000 people, it is really pitiful to the extreme, the current population of the Ming Dynasty, according to Xiao Ruxun's guess, has exceeded 100 million, even close to 200 million, those numbers on the surface are hidden after a large number of households to avoid taxes, that is really Xiaoyi still hidden thousands of families.

Burmese towns are different, the apparent population is the actual population number, relative to the entire Burmese town rule, Xiao Ruxun is sure that more than 3 million people can settle here without being bothered by hunger, but now there are only 100,000 Han people, and the number of Han people is less than one-twentieth of the Burmese indigenous people who settled east of Assam, and that group of people can be supported by only those lands.

After Xiao Ruxun introduced high-yield crops such as corn and potatoes in Myanmar, with Myanmar's unique geographical conditions, more and more people will be able to feed them.

Xiao Ruxun is trying his best to recruit landless farmers from the coast to settle in Burma to replenish the scarce population, and gradually develop outward with the city of Bago as the center, but the population growth is still very slow.

Of course, don't worry about these for the time being, not to mention that most of these people are young and strong men, and there will be great sustainable development in the future, just saying that Myanmar's very old and backward infrastructure makes Xiao Ruxun very uneasy, and now these 100,000 people can just let Xiao Ruxun cope with it, if the population grows explosively, it will really be a mess.

The infrastructure is poor, very poor, not generally poor, or even none.

I don't want to say what the city is, the cultivated land is all messy, slash and burn, there is a lot of wasted land, the planning of residential areas is very unscientific, here and there, scattered, unable to form an effective population settlement to produce radiation reaction, water conservancy facilities and public health facilities are even more zero, no wonder there are floods at every turn.

Myanmar has a lot of rainfall, many rivers and lakes, and a huge amount of water storage, which is very prone to flooding, much like Sichuan and some parts of the Yangtze River basin, where the Chinese ancestors built a lot of water conservancy facilities to ensure that floods do not damage the country, and the Burmese people did not realize this at all!

The living conditions are too good and the natural advantages are too great, so that this group of people only knows how to use military force and never knows how to develop production.

Therefore, the first thing the Han people who came to Myanmar did was to pick up the tools and build their own homes with the soldiers.

It became a very important thing to build water conservancy and establish basic public facilities, Xiao Ruxun asked the army to dig mountains and stones everywhere to build water conservancy projects, recruit relevant technical personnel among the Han people who migrate, and discuss a feasible plan to build simple and necessary river embankments on the basis of the messy waterproof facilities that the Burmese messed up with, so as to ensure that the original Han people settlements in the Bago area were safe, and then talk about him.

Some facilities need to be purchased from the country, or directly from Siam, the manpower is enough, the army plus the young and strong men who have migrate, tens of thousands of people are still together, it is not difficult to carry out the project, the difficulty is that there are few technical personnel, and the tools are insufficient, most people have to borrow the army's weapons to open up the wasteland and cut down, and a large number of agricultural tools and equipment ordered from the country still have a period of time to be transported.

Among them, there was also Ye Mengxiong's help, and some unused things in the warehouse were packaged and sold to Xiao Ruxun at a low price, including some weapons and a large number of farm tools, and also helped Xiao Ruxun find some talents in water conservancy, helped Xiao Ruxun build water conservancy in Myanmar, and also helped to collect some doctors, some young doctors who like to wander around, packed and sent to Myanmar together, of course, it was Xiao Ruxun's generous treatment that attracted them.

No matter when, talent is the most important, if it is put in modern times, Xiao Ruxun can't think of anything, but thank God, the officials only care about the four books and five classics, and only care about the Jinshi who can read, except for the Jinshi, they don't care about anything about the talents of the three religions and nine streams, the treatment is also low, and the status is also low.

Now that the rainy season in Myanmar has passed, we must do a good job of the most basic water conservancy before the next rainy season comes, to ensure that there will be no big floods, and we must also do a good job in the most basic medical conditions, so as not to get sick and sick for the people who are not accustomed to the water and soil, and when the time comes, a large number of people will die of illness, and Xiao Ruxun will have no place to cry.

Now you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, there are not many people, the rations of tens of thousands of people are the unified arrangement and responsibility of the firehead army in the army, three meals a day for work, two meals a day for those who do not work, two meals for those who work, and one meal for those who do not work, all in all, do not treat everyone badly.

Xiao Ruxun does have grain in his hands, the grain he got from Siam, the grain he got from various tribes, and the grain he exchanged for the treasures of Mangyingli, there is no shortage of food at all.

The temperature here is not below 20 degrees, the water is still abundant, three crops a year is not a problem, the old farmers cry and say that they have never seen such a good place, if the hometown is like this, they will not use here.

Xiao Ruxun asked a group of old farmers who had left their hometowns, and learned that they had lived in Guanzhong, wandered to Shandong, and then to Zhejiang, and came to Myanmar by boat, and their hometown was hit by a cold disaster, and the weather was abnormal in September, the wheat was stunted, the grains were shriveled, and the harvest was greatly reduced.

In the 22nd year of Wanli, the precursors of a major cooling have begun to appear in the northern region, and the grain output has been very seriously reduced.

The cold that can not be felt in Myanmar is sweeping the north of the Ming Dynasty, the Han people living south of the Great Wall are still like this, and the nomads living in the steppes further north are even more so, the weather is cold, the cold is abnormal, the water and grass are not abundant, the livestock can not be raised, more and more thin, no fat, if this continues, everyone will starve to death, what to do? Fuck it!

Rob whom?

Han!

A new round of southbound storm is brewing, and the great lords who live in the deep palace, whether it is the emperor or the cabinet, have never paid attention to this terrible southward storm, of course, they are also used to it, every time it is cold, the border army spontaneously begins to guard the border and increase the number of troops, because they know that as soon as the weather is cold, the nomadic barbarians will come south to plunder.

At the beginning, Xiao Ruxun cut off the heads of more than 3,000 barbarians in a battle, and built a Jingguan outside the Great Wall, for two years, no nomadic cavalry dared to cross the Jingguan to launch an attack on the Great Wall, and as time went by, the deterrent power of Jingguan is continuing to decrease, and in the foreseeable future, the nomads who were forced by the severe cold and their lives were threatened, they would have to overcome the fear in their hearts and go south again.

This is their fate, but also the fate of the Central Plains Dynasty, if the Central Plains Dynasty can not completely kill these nomads, it will not be able to avoid the annual border war, the same is true of the nomads, if the weather is not warm, they can not avoid the fate of risking their lives to attack the territory of the Han people in the south.

Modern scientific research has proved that every 3 degrees Celsius drop in the average surface temperature will reduce the amount of water condensed in the atmosphere by 20 percent, leading to severe drought, and the change in average annual temperature of 1 degree Celsius can be reflected in the fluctuation of 200-300 kilometers in the northern limit of agriculture, that is, a temperature change of 1 degree Celsius will determine whether the land is suitable for cultivation in the range of 200 kilometers to 300 kilometers wide.

If the temperature is high, the northern boundary of Han agriculture will expand to the north, the power of the Han people can also expand to the north, and people can also settle down, the grain output can naturally be supplied to the army, and the army's military cantonment can also meet the needs of a part of the army, and if the temperature is lower, the northern boundary of agriculture will move south, and the land that cannot be cultivated to produce grain is worthless and cannot be settled, and the population can only move south, then the power of the Han people will shrink to the south, and the defensive bottom line of the Han army will continue to shrink to the south, and it has become a very difficult thing to guard the Great Wall.

At the end of many dynasties, the territory continued to shrink to the south, not only the weakening of military power, but also the southward migration of the Han population caused by the decrease in temperature, and the worthless land did not need to be guarded, but the Great Wall built by the Qin Dynasty was a building that conformed to the climate of the Qin Dynasty, and it may not be suitable for the Ming Dynasty.

Xiao Ruxun raised his eyes and looked north—in the foreseeable future, there would be another round of storms from the north sweeping terrifying swords and guns, surging towards the nine sides.
