Chapter 231: Three Years Later

The world is in chaos, Ming Jian took the opportunity to vigorously develop the economy, he does not talk about those false names, and will not rush to attack other princes and unify the Han, because that has no practical value, it is better to make a fortune quietly.

The court's [swallowing anger] made all the princes have their own ghosts, and some think that the court is still weak and does not have enough strength; Some are secretly glad that without the constraints of the imperial court, they can take the opportunity to expand their territory and expand their strength. There are also those who want to divert their attention and send their direct opponents to the side of the imperial court, but unfortunately the imperial court's defense is very good, and they have no chance.

In this era, human resources are paramount, and the population of China as a whole has plummeted by nearly half from 60 million before the Yellow Turban Rebellion. And the population will continue to decrease with the war, and the war will definitely be private, and the non-combat attrition will definitely be more, where will the princes care so much? What they want is to occupy territory and seize profits through war.

In view of this form, Ming Jian decided to quietly carry out the population plunder plan.

Ming Jian sent Jinyi Wei to various places to publicize the policies of the Han Dynasty and attract displaced people to settle in the Han-controlled areas.

As long as there is a big war, there will definitely be displaced people, and at the same time, as long as the propaganda is in place, there will be a chance to win them over and let them flee to the area controlled by the Han Dynasty.

For the common people, being able to eat and dress is the most important thing in this era, as soon as there is a war, their life will be sad, the war has caused a lot of displaced people, only in Huainan alone, there are 500,000 displaced people.

Most of them are very confused, they have no food, no clothing, and no shelter, and if they are not careful, they will be killed by the rebels, or they will be pulled into strong, or they will be forced into slavery.

Therefore, as soon as Jin Yiwei secretly contacted and publicized the benefits of the imperial court, these displaced people were moved and took action. Food, shelter and land and houses were a paradise for the displaced people, and in order to save their lives and continue their descendants, most of the displaced people were willing to come to the areas controlled by the imperial court.

Another important component of human resources is the Yellow Turban Army, although the Yellow Turban Army has been suppressed, there are still many remnants. There are even hundreds of thousands wandering in various mountainous areas, hiding from the pursuit of various princes and imperial courts.

This part of the people is urgently needed by Ming Jian, so the policy given by Ming Jian is very generous, that is, he is not to blame for the past, as long as he comes to the area controlled by the imperial court, he will be given land and food.

In this way, the Yellow Turban Army in various places also moved and took action, they broke into pieces, crossed the location and came to the Han control area, and once they arrived in the Han control area, these remaining Yellow Turban Army were properly settled.

Some were incorporated into the army, some were sent to various places, especially Jiangdong, for the people, and the imperial court also fulfilled its promise to give them land and food.

In this way, the resettlement of displaced people quickly saw results, and social stability was not undermined.

Through various means, the Jinyi guards fooled millions of homeless people into taking refuge in the imperial court.

those who are close will flee directly into the area controlled by the Han Dynasty; If you are far away, just walk slowly, and Jinyiwei will answer in it, giving porridge along the way, or secretly giving some dry food.

At this time, there were still many loopholes in the checkpoints in various places, and the war caused many places to not set up checkpoints, so the migration of the displaced people was still very good.

In this regard, the princes naturally could not do anything, most of their armies were placed on some important battlefields, where did they have the heart to manage the exiles? Unless the blind cat encounters a dead mouse, they will forcibly leave the homeless to serve as an army.

However, like Dong Zhuo, he is vicious, once he is caught by his people, or if he finds that someone has a motive to escape, he will be killed directly.

The migration of the displaced people is a long process, and it is also a process of secret competition between the Ming Sword and the princes.

......

Three years later.

It is said that time is like an arrow, but Ming Jian feels that the past three years have passed very slowly. When you are young, you feel that time flies slowly, and when you are older, you feel that time flies too quickly.

Now Ming Jian is 15 years old, his height has reached 175CM, and he looks heroic and strong, and he looks like a handsome guy at first glance. The help that the five fowl plays have brought to Ming Jian is obvious, and his current force value has exceeded 80 and reached 82.

At the same time, he complied with the request of the ministers and married Ma Teng's daughter Ma Yunlu as the queen, but at the same time married Zhang Xinyu as the concubine. Originally, Mingjian wanted to make Zhang Xinyu the queen, but the ministers were all against it, because Zhang Xinyu was older, she was wearing it when she crossed over, and she was almost thirty years old, which is a big difference from the current Mingjian, and she can be Mingjian's mother.

Fortunately, Zhang Xinyu doesn't care, how can her relationship with Ming Jian be comparable to Ma Yunlu?

Moreover, she has also given birth to a daughter for Ming Jian, named Liu Yifei, which is a bit of a spoof. The little baby is chubby, so that Ming Jian likes it very much, and he holds it in his hand every day, even in the court.

Zhang Xinyu controls Jinyiwei, he is the right-hand man of Ming Jian, and many times he is more effective than Li Yuanfang, this queen is very powerful, not to mention that she can't run away from half the sky.

However, Zhang Xinyu's jealousy is also very strong, and Ming Jian is not allowed to mess with other women except her and Ma Yunlu, and even dismisses all the beautiful palace maids in the palace to go home or reward them to ministers and generals.

In this regard, Ming Jian didn't care, in his previous life, Ming Jian failed her once, so in this life, Ming Jian didn't plan to marry another wife, so as not to make Zhang Xinyu dissatisfied, which would affect the relationship.

As for Ma Yunlu, after she was made the queen, the direct benefit she brought to Ming Jian was Xiliang, of course, her pungent personality also had an appetite for Ming Jian, unlike that traditional feudal woman, Ma Yunlu has her own values.

It's also good to dance with a knife and a gun, since marrying into the palace, she often finds Mingjian to learn, and Mingjian has benefited a lot, which also makes the relationship between husband and wife deeper and deeper.

The old man Ma Teng must be loyal to himself, so Dong Zhuo can't feel at ease, and he has to be wary of Ma Teng at all times. Ma Teng blocked Dong Zhuo every once in a while, and the ones who were responsible for the harassment work were Mingjian's brothers-in-law, the eldest brother-in-law Ma Chao is now a complete adult, and his martial arts make Dong Zhuo and his Xiliang Army very jealous, plus Ma Chao's general Pang De, both of them can compete with Lu Bu, even if they can't win, but it also makes Lu Bu uncomfortable.

The second brother-in-law Ma Dai is also a good talent, he is brave and strategic, good at logistics work, and has developed Xiliang's economy well. There are many Qiang people in Xiliang, and Ma Dai took advantage of the Han Dynasty to sell all kinds of materials to the Qiang people, get their war horses, and even requisition them as mercenaries.

Not to mention, in this way, both sides have interests to be gained, and the Qiang people are really honest, which allows Ma Teng to concentrate on dealing with Dong Zhuo.

Another person who confused Ming Jian, Han Sui, actually obeyed Ma Teng's leadership very honestly, but he didn't make any trouble, but Jin Yiwei had already entered Xiliang and closely monitored Han Sui, once Han Sui rebelled, Jin Yiwei would take action immediately, and he would have no good fruit to eat.

In the past few years, Ming Jian has been working hard every day, and he has never slacked off for a day, and the situation of waste is a headache for Ming Jian, and he must speed up the pace of work, otherwise I am afraid that when Ming Jian is old, this big man is still like that, which makes people look unhappy.

At that time, as long as you say it a little, the Song people will understand, and now people need to repeat and repeat, so that they can draw inferences from three to understand what they are talking about.

For example, the Ministry of Industry took a lot of thought to build a warship, and Mingjian asked to build an ironclad warship, in one step, even if it was impossible to install a cannon, but the installation of a ballista bed was a must. It took months of experimentation to come to fruition.

In addition, there are few craftsmen and the output of steel is also small, and now there are only 500 ironclad ships produced, and the tonnage is not very large, the largest one has 500 tons.

Another example is education, Ming Jian directly copied the textbooks he used in the Great Song Dynasty, invented wire-bound books, and let various states open schools to educate school-age students.

As a result, the Chinese language has flourished, but the progress of mathematics, physics and chemistry has been slow, and three years have passed, and the cutting-edge talents they want have not appeared.

This made Ming Jian very depressed.
