Chapter 670: Vicious Circle

Gao Yingxiang and others have experience in rebellion, they are familiar with the road, and they still take the centralized management of all the food when they conquer one place, and the people will get food if they follow them.

There are very few people who do not follow the actions of the gangsters, how can they survive without homes and food?

The thieves used this method of coercion to force the common people to become homeless, and gradually developed into homeless people, and the population base was larger, and the number of people who were displaced was naturally several times more.

The Huang family and horses who stayed in Shanxi and Henan only operated a few points, and they could not attack in the face of hundreds of thousands of troops who could not tell whether they were people or bandits.

Because there are too many homeless people and rogues, it exceeds the limit of the Huang family's left-behind personnel, even if they successfully attack the old camp of the rogues and capture these people, it will be useless.

Because the scope of the sudden outbreak of the rogues was too large, the grain route was cut off, and the Huang family's stronghold was also struggling, and if the food was not enough, they could only choose to save some people.

The land of the Central Plains is in dire straits, and the splendid Jiangnan also suffers from pond fish.

The imperial court's harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes plus the people's lives are becoming more and more difficult, this is only the beginning, due to the shortage of grain in many places, the relatively peaceful Jiangnan has become the first choice for buying grain, which directly leads to the grain in Jiangnan has been rising.

Since the Huang family system wanted to immigrate from Jiangnan on a large scale, it adopted some commercial competition methods.

The pioneering spirit of the Han people is not enough, and the common people in the south of the Yangtze River can get food and clothing, and few people respond to the Huang family's call for overseas immigration.

In the ninth year of Chongzhen, the Nanzhili Military Intelligence Department cooperated with the "Huaxia Daqian Village" to post recruitment advertisements in all counties in the south of the Yangtze River, recruiting weavers at a bid higher than the local wage of two percent, but there were few applicants.

Later, it gradually increased, because the price of Songjiang cloth suddenly dropped by three percent, and many weaving factories produced Songjiang cloth did not get a penny of profit and had to be upside down.

Huang Sheng had enough strength to defeat the Jiangnan owners who still adopted the workshop style of producing Songjiang cloth and silk six years ago, but did not do so in order to prevent too many ordinary people from losing their jobs.

Now there is no need to look ahead, because all the unemployed weavers, the Huang family can accept to settle overseas, and they can provide enough jobs.

Jiangnan has the convenience of water transportation, Huang Sheng can ensure that no one in Jiangnan will starve to death on the way to migration, and the time is ripe to attract large-scale investment to attract labor to develop overseas.

In the ten years of Chongzhen, the price of grain in Jiangnan skyrocketed, and more ordinary people found it difficult to sustain, and the number of small people who chose to emigrate overseas skyrocketed.

The overall quality of immigrants in Jiangnan is stronger than that in the mainland, and there are many people who can write and calculate, because the literacy rate in Jiangnan is the highest in the Ming Dynasty.

The Huang family's propaganda team not only bewitched the people of Shengdou, but they also invited Jiangnan scholars to discuss and gave them a world map so that they could broaden their horizons.

Gradually, some children and students also began to drag their families to the territory of the king of Qiongya County to fight for the opportunity to be officials, and Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province had the most readers.

That's because Shaoxing is a place where there are many scholars, and the number of scholars is increasing every year, but the number of places for showing talents and lifting people is limited, and the competition is fierce.

They learned that there was no need to go through a perverted scientific examination in the king of Qiongya County, as long as they worked hard and studied Xinxue, they could become an official and glorify their ancestors.

Huang Sheng immigrated from Jiangnan in a big way, in order to diversify the people in his system, which was conducive to the development of the Huang family system, but it caused adverse consequences to the Ming Dynasty.

Due to the closure of a large number of weaving workshops, the taxes of the imperial court could only be diluted to the weaving factories that were still struggling to support, and a vicious circle was formed, and more weaving factories were forced to close, and finally many owners with capital took the initiative to go to Hainan Island and Jiaozhi to start a new business.

The population of Jiangnan began to lose, capital was forced to flee, and the tragic Ming Dynasty had less taxes, less money and food, and its ability to cope with the crisis plummeted.

In the autumn of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Chongzhen's Longshu desk was full of folds, and the emperor was faced with hundreds of thousands of officials and soldiers asking for food and salary, and millions of ordinary people lost their homes and needed relief from the imperial court.

If the situation cannot be contained in time, there will be more and more scourges caused by the Qing army and the rogues, and the number of ordinary people in need of relief will exceed 10 million at that time.

Because the Liukou and Qing troops seem to be a little more civilized, most of them only loot and do not deliberately kill the common people, and they leave the hungry people who are waiting to be fed, which undoubtedly increases the burden on the imperial court.

Facing a large group of old ministers, the young Emperor Chongzhen could no longer stand the torment and cried bitterly.

Said: "Since I succeeded to the throne, there has not been a day when I might as well walk on thin ice, which can be described as conscientious, but the situation in the Ming Dynasty is so erosive, is the Ming Dynasty going to die at the hands of me?" Woo woo woo ....... ”

The sad Emperor Chongzhen really didn't get a good day, he wanted to work hard, but it often backfired, like being in a swamp, the more he struggled, the faster he sank.

Wang Chengen, who accompanied the previous dynasty, couldn't help but burst into tears when he saw the Son of Heaven so sad, and he wanted to suggest that the king of Qiongya County deal with such a chaotic situation, but he didn't dare, and he was infinitely terrified in his heart.

The Son of Heaven wept, and a cadre of important ministers could only accompany him to weep without doing anything, and there were two ministers who were not discouraged, they thought that His Majesty was purely self-mistaken.

The ministers of the anxious prince came out of the crowd and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't be discouraged, I still have tens of thousands of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, so why not be afraid of the little Dongnu and the little rogues!" ”

Chongzhen, who was sad and sad, stopped his sadness and said, "Where did Aiqing's so-called male soldiers come from? ”

Wang Zhichen said: "The soldiers under the command of the king of Qiongya County are fierce, there should be no less than 100,000 horses and horses in the navy and army, and the minister implores His Majesty to transfer the king of Qiongya County to the king of Gyeonggi Qin, where is the Jiannu opponent of my Ming "God of War", I am afraid they will not be able to leave. ”

"It's ......." The emperor hesitated, and his imperial tricks began to play tricks again.

Wang Chengen, who was standing beside the emperor, suddenly lit up his eyes, and looked at Wang Zhichen with blazing eyes.

Gao Di stepped forward and said: "The three of Lao Chen, father and son all eat the king's fortune, and they should serve the court without fear of life and death." The old minister has read countless people, and the king of Guanqiongya County is a loyal and good general, and the old minister is willing to guarantee his loyalty to the Ming Dynasty with his life. Your Majesty can rest assured that the "God of War" will boldly transfer the people and horses into the king of Jingqin. ”

The matter is very big, in case the king of Qiongya County has a heart of disobedience, who can compete when he comes to Beijing and directly enters the Forbidden City to replace him? Chongzhen, who suffers from gains and losses, does not dare to gamble.

Wang Zhichen added fire and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is also willing to be a guarantee, if the king of Qiongya County has the heart of not being a minister, please behead the old and young." ”

Chongzhen looked at the other important ministers for help, Zhang Fengyi, the secretary of the military department who built a slave, could not escape the blame, and he already had the mind of death at this time.

This is not alarmist, because in the second year of Chongzhen, Jiannu entered Kou Jinggi, and the sad military department Shangshu Wang Qia carried the black pot and was taken to the edict prison and beheaded in April of the following year.
