Thank you for the monthly pass support of the night scholars!

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Guo Yunhou knew that Zhu Youxiao had misunderstood what he meant, and he hurriedly said: "The minister thinks that disarmament is also a good choice. ”
"Guo Aiqing, do you mean to implement military reform?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Your Majesty, there is a military reform in the New Deal, and after thinking about it for several months, I found that Your Majesty's military reform is indeed feasible, and since the establishment of the New Army, every battle will be won, and it will shock the world. However, the minister thought that the number of new troops was too large, and the number of new troops should be controlled within one million. Guo Yunhou said.
"Military reform is not yet time, and it can only be implemented after the defeat of Jianyu." Zhu Youxiao said.
"The minister thinks that Liaodong can be suspended, but other provinces can start to implement it first." Guo Yunhou suggested.
"We'll talk about it later." Zhu Youxiao can't find a suitable candidate to serve as the governor of the governor's mansion now, and he will definitely not use the previous honor.
……
The "Ming Empire" has introduced Luzon for three consecutive issues, which has made many people throughout the empire have a preliminary understanding of Luzon. From the fourth issue, the "Daming Imperial Daily" began to introduce the policy of immigration to Luzon, one of which was the immigration incentive policy introduced by Zhu Youxiao for the first time.
And the incentive policy is only for the local governors and leaders. This stipulates that all those who are willing to emigrate, aged 16 years old and under 40 years old, regardless of gender, shall be rewarded with five coins of silver each for the chief and the head of the first place. As for the prefects, prefects, and prefectures, the number of immigrants in a county, a prefecture, and a prefecture is more or less related to their political performance, and the number of immigrants is directly included in their overall plan. But this time the migration was only for Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi provinces.
This policy made the lieutenant and the head of the army full of enthusiasm for immigrating to Luzon, and the officials of the imperial court also fully cooperated.
"Li Erlang, how are you thinking about immigration?" The first head of Lijia Village asked.
"Master A, I still don't want to immigrate." Li Erlang said softly.
"If you don't want to emigrate, what can you do if you don't immigrate, you are just such a broken grass hut in Lijia Village, and if you stay here, you will starve to death sooner or later. I advise you to immigrate as soon as possible. The first head said impatiently.
"Master Jia, I am alone, even if I don't have land to plant for the time being, anyway, one person eats enough and the whole family is not hungry, immigration really doesn't matter to me." Li Erlang bowed down and said.
"The government said that in addition to a piece of land for each person, after the unmarried man went to Luzon, each of them would be divided into a barbarian woman. Also, do you know that rice is grown three times a year in Luzon, which is a treasure land, not to see that you are pitiful, this quota will not be your turn. A head said.
"If there is such a good thing, it will be my turn." Li Erlang muttered.
"What did you say?" The first head said dissatisfiedly.
"Nothing, nothing, Master Jia, I really don't want to go." Li Erlang said with a sad face.
"Just kidding, I'll go to the lieutenant chief for you to sign up, and you can't go if you don't go." When Shou Jia saw that all the good things were said, Li Erlang was unmoved, and he couldn't help but get angry.
"Master Jia, ......," Li Erlang pleaded.
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and pack up today, and go to Lilao to sign up early tomorrow morning." The first head didn't give him a chance at all.

In the villages of the five provinces, such stories are played out everywhere, and the elders and the first leaders work together to assign places to the poor people in each of the provinces. And in the urban-rural area or the people in the county, many places are a different scene. They all have access to official information, and out of trust in the "Ming Imperial Daily" or the government, some people take the initiative to apply for immigration.
In the yamen, officials are plotting how to achieve more immigration.
"My lord, I think this matter can be worked."
"Oh, let's hear it."
"My lord, there are hundreds of displaced people gathered outside the county, and I thought that I could send them all to Luzon, so that not only would the problem of immigration be solved, but the security of the county would also be much better."
"If those who are unwilling are forcibly sent to Luzon by this official, I am afraid that it will cause civil unrest."
"They were stranded in this county, and they just wanted to beg for food, and sending them to Luzon was a matter of doing good and accumulating virtue. As long as the publicity is done properly, they will definitely be willing to go, my lord, you think, go to Luzon to eat, have land to plant, stay here and starve to death at any time, where do you say they are willing to stay? ”
"That's doable, then I'll leave the matter to you."
"No."
……
Zhu Youxiao's original plan was to give Luzon 100,000 immigrants, but the officials of the three provinces tossed from top to bottom to get out more than one million immigrants, and the displaced people in the three provinces were also wiped out. This really made Zhu Youxiao stunned, and Zhu Youxiao realized that there was still a lot of potential to be tapped at the first level.
However, with a population of more than one million, it is not a problem for Luzon, which has nearly 300,000 square kilometers of land. It took a long time for the entire migration of more than a million people, and the Cabinet estimated that it would take about five years to fully complete the immigration of Luzon.
In mid-June, Liu Youfu and Wang Mengxiong, who were in Luzon City, received Zhu Youxiao's holy decree.
On June 18, the two men were ordered to behead hundreds of Spanish prisoners and set up an altar in Luzon to commemorate the Chinese who had been massacred in 1603, and all the Chinese in the Eighth Company also participated in this memorial service, and afterwards, led by the Chinese who survived the massacre in 1603, everyone spontaneously knelt down to the north and shouted, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live!" ”
On June 28, it was the auction of the captured Spanish woman. Although the number of women in Spain is not as large as that of men, there are more than 200 women. Perhaps out of revenge, or curiosity, there were a lot of people who came to participate in the auction, and even some people around Luzon rushed over when they heard the news, but Wang Mengxiong and Liu Youfu and other people who had just come from the mainland did not dare to be interested in these women.
"Elder Lin, Elder Su, you are all here, please take a seat." Liu Youfu said with a smile.
"Lord Liu, sit down, and we'll take a look." Su Lao hurriedly said.
"Old Lin, do you have a favorite?" Liu Youfu asked softly.
"I'll accompany Su Lao to take a look." Lin Lao said with a smile.
"Lord Liu, I don't know if I have a favorite object for Lin Lao, but Su Lao definitely has it." Rong Guan said with a smile.
"Oh, Su Lao has a favorite object? It seems that Su Lao is old and strong! Liu Youfu said with a smile.
"It's the old woman." Rong Guan pointed to a woman in her forties.
"Old Su, no, that woman is an old woman." Wang Mengxiong said in surprise.
Ask for clicks, ask for favorites, ask for ratings, ask for recommendations, ask for monthly passes, ask for rewards...... All kinds of pleases, all kinds of pleases!
