With the advent of the Xiaoice Age, decades-long agricultural production reductions are enough to destroy any empire, even if the accumulation is strong, will be dragged down. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On the contrary, the better the disaster relief is done, the more people survive, the more people will be born, and the next disaster will be more violent. It's a bastard to say, but that's the way it is, with a large population, the land production will not increase, and the crisis will only get worse.

Almost the only way to do this is to emigrate overseas, but that's easier said than done.

Not to mention the Ming Dynasty, even in later generations, it is extremely difficult to immigrate hundreds of thousands, millions, just look at the Three Gorges immigrants.

Huge projects, huge expenses, dragging families with mouths, the south and the north, and the future is bleak, is this something that can be solved by an order of the imperial court? Ordinary people are not fools.

Don't forget that there are many factors that restrict immigration, in addition to the difficulties that can be seen, but also the things that cannot be touched, such as many large families, where ancestors have multiplied for generations, hundreds of families have gathered together, and they refuse to separate their families.

Even if someone wants to leave, they will stop the elders of the family.

Where the ancestral tomb is, if the descendants are gone, when they arrive in the Qingming Zhongyuan, who else will go to the grave to burn paper? The ancestors will starve and freeze underground, who wants to be an unfilial son!

They are just disaster victims, not poor people who have nothing, they still have real estate and land at home, as long as they can survive a winter, there will be a harvest next year, and they can live.

It is useless to talk to the people about the next few decades, they believe that their land is far better than the imperial court.

The southeast is the place with the most developed commercial culture and maritime culture, and Tang Yi has been promoting immigration in recent years, as well as banks to provide guarantees, prepare land, find projects, and sign contracts in advance...... After more than ten years of busy life, only more than one million people have migrated out, among which there are many Japanese criminals, and there are very few who really volunteer to go to sea, and they are all extremely poor and desperate.

The current Ming Dynasty, no matter what, is the most developed, the most comfortable, and the most comfortable country to live.

It is true that Tang Yi is not ruthless, nor is it his insidious calculation, it is really a last resort.

It's like the first time the eaglet flies, and the parents have to be kicked off the cliff, and the little penguin has to be driven down the cold and biting sea by the parents, which is difficult and cruel, but if you don't take this step, all that is left is to die.

The faster you go, the more crisp you go, the more people will survive.

Tang Yi instructed Shen Shixing to make Henan a big mess, just to pave the way for immigrants, because of the famine, the people fled everywhere, and the clan power almost collapsed, making it difficult to restrain everyone.

A large number of people belonged to the king of Zhou, and they were labeled as rebellions, although Tang Yi would not do anything to them, but these people were terrified and guilty, and they couldn't fight the court.

And those gentry, landlords, and businessmen, or colluded with the king of Zhou, or hoarded Juqi, or formed a village to protect themselves, no matter what, they all brought sins, and Tang Yi didn't have to make excuses if he wanted to clean them up.

It's the best time to emigrate!

This is like driving criminals to the army for generations, how much does it cost to recruit the children of good families by normal means? With criminals, it will be countless times cheaper.

A lot of things, as cruel as they sound, don't seem to make sense, but it's a kind of compromise that can't be helped. Just like industrial upgrading, what is called industrial upgrading, to put it bluntly, is to eliminate some people, smash their jobs, and it is likely that they have worked for most of their lives, but they have to start again.

Is it cruel? Cruel indeed!

Can you not do it? No!

"Name."

"Pillar, kudzu pillar!"

"Origin."

"Huh?" The young man is a bit square.

"Where does your family live?"

"Ah, live, live in Lanyang, Liuhegou."

"Well, do you still have a field at home?"

"Yes, there are three acres and three points, hillside land, and you can beat two stones of grain a year."

The scribe flew with his pen and filled in all the information, then took out a brush, dipped it in special ink, and drew a mark on the back of his hand. The ink lasts up to five days.

"Go, take the wooden card, and go to the office of the Beiyang Company to get a bucket of grain."

"It's just one bucket, it's too little, isn't it?"

The scribe rolled his eyes, "What's missing, how much food, five days is not enough to eat!" ”

"Five days? And what about five days later? Ge Zhuzi asked in surprise.

"What are you doing so much, you won't starve to death anyway, get out!" The scribe shouted impatiently, "Next! ”

Ge Zhuzi was helpless, shook his head, followed the street signs, and walked out of Erlidi, the office here is much more lively, tall sheds, a large row of tents, seeing him coming, someone took the initiative to greet him.

"You haven't eaten yet, drink some millet porridge."

A thick bowl of millet porridge, a piece of pickles, and Ge Zhuzi were all dumbfounded. The aroma of rice through the nostrils stimulates the taste buds, and the stomach makes a thunderous sound, but it is still a little timid.

"For me?"

"Let's eat, let's talk about it after eating!"

Ge Zhuzi was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, he took two bites of three, drank a big bowl of porridge to the fullest, closed his eyes, and his face was full of happiness, even if he died at this time, it was worth it.

"Boy, you are a blessed man, go over there to get a set of cotton clothes, rest here for three or five days, and you will set off soon."

"Going, where are you going?"

"I'm just bothering you guys to ask questions!" The steward's face sank, "Don't ask more, what else are you afraid of with your virtue?" ”

"Hey, hey!"

Ge Zhuzi didn't dare to say more, he received a set of cotton clothes, even if he came early, he also got a sheepskin jacket, thick and warm, and he wore it on his body, and he was not afraid of any wind.

He took another bucket of rice and a small jar of pickles.

The steward told him not to eat too much for the first few meals, especially not to eat dry ones, lest he burst his stomach. Although Ge Zhuzi listened, he still made the porridge thick, almost like dry rice.

His stomach was stuffed with food, and he lay in his tent, not even bothering to move a finger. Like well-fed livestock, digest food quietly.

Wait until you feel a little hungry and put it in your mouth immediately.

In the end, it was young, and it only took three days to recover almost.

At this time, someone came again, gathered thousands of young people, guarded by soldiers, and set out from Henan, they passed through Kaifeng Prefecture, went to De, Xuzhou, and went all the way to Haizhou, where a fleet was waiting for them, and immediately marched towards Annam.

In addition, there are many immigration routes.

Some went south to Huguang and took the Yangtze River waterway to the sea.

Some went to Shandong, went to sea in Dengzhou, and some went to sea in Jiaozhou.

This year's weather is wickedly cold, the port of Tianjin has been frozen in the Bohai Bay and turned into a huge mirror, Hangzhou, Suzhou, the snow has fallen early, and the leisurely literati are still wandering around the Su Causeway to enjoy the snow scene.

However, the officials in the capital and the people of insight in the imperial court were all nervous, and a race against time had begun.

Tang Yi mobilized 20,000 officials, 50,000 troops, and 200,000 ordinary militiamen to participate in the relief of the migrants. If you leave your homeland, you can survive, and when you go to Annam, there are more than ten or twenty degrees in winter, and you can't freeze to death at all. There is also a large area of land, plenty of aquatic products, grain three times a year, sow the seeds, and after a few months, there will be a harvest.

Don't be afraid of any miasma, it's all a lie, as long as you boil the water and don't eat raw food, you won't die...... People need strong support the most when they are in difficult times.

The clan that originally gave everyone strength collapsed, and the patriarch could not help everyone, so he had to obey the arrangements of the imperial court.

If you dare not listen to the order, you will immediately be regarded as a traitor to the king of Zhou, and you will be severely punished.

The repeated devastation has made the people lower their requirements again and again, and as long as they can live, it is already very good.

Having food to eat and hope is the greatest happiness.

In the first month alone, 300,000 people left Henan, bidding farewell to their homeland where they had lived for generations and to the tombs of their ancestors. Before leaving, he silently took a bag of loess and hid it against his chest, no matter where he went, this root could not be broken!

Tang Yi was still very relieved about Shen Shixing, and he could not move the eight winds at first, but when the immigration really began, Tang Yi couldn't sit still, he temporarily handed over the affairs of the cabinet to Tang Ruji, and then personally entered Henan with his entourage to check in person.

Along the way, Tang Yi saw the hardships of the victims, and also saw the actual crisis.

He surveyed many irrigation ditches, and more than eighty percent of them were in disrepair and useless. And because of the reduced amount of water, even if it is re-excavated, it is useless.

According to Tang Yi's estimates, more than 40 percent of Henan's farmland will give up growing grain, switch to more drought-resistant pasture, and switch from planting to animal husbandry.

In the past, it was impossible to do this under the densely populated situation, but after immigration, the situation is much better, the population is smaller, and the remaining land is concentrated together to support the establishment of ranch farms, and the scale is larger, the situation will be much better. After all, it is much safer to subsidize farms than to subsidize small farmers, and the bank number is willing to take out loans, and the output will be more.

Tang Yi went down from southwest Shaanxi, entered Henan Mansion, passed through Luoyang, and went all the way east along the Yellow River, and when he arrived in Kaifeng, it was already the last ten days of the sixth year of Longqing.

According to the convention, next year is the first year of Wanli, and the world will change the yuan and open a new page.

At the end of this year, outside Kaifeng City, it was extremely lively, and dozens of people were dragged out to be shot almost every day. Eight major grain merchants, ten great families, Confucian celebrities, crazy scholars, almost no one can escape.

Governor Shen Shixing showed a hideous face, and he was not merciful at all in killing people.

Looking at all the criminals, the two most common charges are that one is a thief rebellion, the other is hoarding, disregarding the livelihood of the people, and a few days ago they were scrambling to meet the king, and in a blink of an eye, they became ghosts under the knife.

"Okay, your apprentice is more ruthless than you!" Xu Fatzi shook his head and sighed: "I'm afraid I won't eat Yellow River carp next year." "I watched the blood pool, the ice by the river turned dark red, and my stomach churned.

"Let's go, let's go to the city." Tang Yi said quietly. (To be continued.) )
