epydz (Since the atmosphere of the conversation is okay, Zheng Kezhang chatted with Hong Lei about the recovery situation in various places by the way
After the occupation of South China, the population of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong showed the characteristics of a net outflow, and the long-term struggle between the Qing and Zheng sides in Fujian, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan had a devastating impact on the local population structure, so that the population had to move in from relatively wealthy areas to make up for it, but on the one hand, the population migration had to spend a lot of financial and material resources, which made the financial situation continue to be tight, and on the other hand, South China had not actually recovered from the population loss of the Ming and Qing dynasties, so even if a considerable number of people were moved, The distribution of the population of the provinces in the territory is still extremely uneven."
In the third year of Wucheng, the population of Jiangnan ranked first in the country, and the six prefectures had a total of 20 million people; Jianghuai has a population of 5.5 million because it has received a considerable number of refugees from Huaibei in Henan; Zhejiang, West and East Zhejiang, a total of eight million; Jiangxi was not devastated by the war during the Rebellion of the Three Feudatories and the Northern Expedition, so it was on the verge of 6.5 million people; Guangdong also has a population of 7 million; All of the above are among the top populations, with 3.2 million people in Fujian; 3.1 million in southern Gansu; Guangxi three million; Quang Nam 2 million; Hunan and Hubei add up to only five million; Yidong 2.5 million; Xuyong 1.5 million; three million in Yunnan; Xichuan 3.5 million; There are less than 800,000 in Guizhou; Wuchang and Dongning each have 400,000 because they are in Hedongdu; 500,000 in Qiongzhou; 300,000 in Chaozhou; Taiping 300,000; 200,000 in Jingzhou
The small population naturally puts pressure on arable land and the environment, but it has also caused a heavy shortage in employment, and the problem of Taiping Iron Mine is one of them, for which Zheng Kezhang complained to Hong Lei: "Although the merchants of Jiangnan and Guangdong said that they provide a lot of taxes for the imperial court, there is no country without the people, if there are 20 million people in Huguang at present, I will return the Northern Expedition."
Zheng Kezhang just complained about the uneven distribution of the population, and he didn't expect Hong Lei to give any good ideas, but Hong Lei seemed to care about this problem early on, and immediately took out Jianyi: "It is not a problem that there are too many merchants and people in Jiangnan and Guangdong, but the two places are rich, and the possibility of letting their people move to the mainland to cultivate is very small, but the saint has forgotten the people of the year."
The people of Fujian and Guangdong, who had different uniforms, were regarded as untouchables in all dynasties, but at the beginning, Zheng Kezhang really had no one in his hands, so he had to let the people move to Qiongzhou, Dongning6 to enrich the population and make up for the shortage of the water division, so that now many people in the Chinese water division have served as middle and lower-level military attachés
"What the Qing family said is very much" Zheng Kezhang increased the amount with his palm, "I forgot "Zheng Kezhang is not forgetting, in fact, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zheng Kezhang abolished the untouchable system in the form of amnesty, but the system is easy to abolish, but the habit cannot be changed in a short period of time" Others are unwilling to migrate lightly, these aliens living in the eyes of the white will not refuse, it makes sense, it makes sense to come! Zheng Kezang, who was anxious, immediately ordered, "Call the attendant Hanlin Bachelor to come"
The Hanlin scholar on duty came in a hurry, and he listened to Zheng Kezang's order: "Decree, the cabinet will discuss the relocation and expulsion of the happy households, the degenerate people, the beggars, the servants and the people, enrich Huguang, Qiangui, and allocate 300,000 yuan of silver from the inner treasury to build houses for the immigrants."
"The saint is kind-hearted," Hong Lei knew that if Zheng Kezhang didn't take money from the inner treasury, the cabinet of the heroes who would be embarrassed by a penny didn't know how long it would be, so this compliment was not too sycophant "These expelled people have a rod"
"I'm afraid it's not that simple" Zheng Kezhang smiled bitterly, "There are also grain, cattle, horses, and farm tools, these still have to be fundraised, originally counting on some gains after the attack, but now it seems that it is also a passing fairy, and it can't be left" For a while, Zheng Kezhang had the heart to re-determine the proportion of the capture and sharing of the two divisions of the water 6, but considering the morale of the army, he finally couldn't make up his mind, "It seems that the sailor has to do his old job to make up for the shortfall"
Hong Lei frowned, and subconsciously admonished: "The saint means to let the sailor follow the story of the hidden ancestor back then?" This is a little inappropriate, this is different from the past, the Holy God has already opened the country, how to let the officials and soldiers do this thing of roosters and dogs, besides, the Holy Shang is not still counting on the Taixi Sea passenger to come to the gold and silver trade, if it is intercepted in He, although the gold and silver will not be less for a while, but the goods cannot be sold, and the impact is not only He"
Zheng Zhilong is a suffocating yin shadow, so there is no mention of it in the official text, but the folk still gave a private message to a hidden ancestor, and only a relative and old minister like Hong Lei dared to mention it in front of Zheng Kezang, otherwise it would definitely cause Zheng Kezhang to be furious and the so-called hidden ancestor story refers to the old example of piracy at the beginning of Zheng Zhilong's family, so it can be seen that Hong Lei is Zheng Kezang took a risk and lost the face and lining of the Celestial Empire in front of the foreign domain
"This dynasty opened to trade, and naturally the gold and silver in the universe flowed into China as much as possible" Zheng Kezhang smiled and said, "Although it is faster to grab, it is suspected of pulling out seedlings and promoting growth, which is not conducive to domestic industrial and commercial exhibitions, so how can I make this decision" Zheng Kezhang took the draft handed by the Zhizhi and looked at it, and after confirming that it was correct, he waved his pen and signed, and Hanlin immediately retreated, at this time Zheng Kezhang said, "But it is not a good thing for the trade road to be controlled by the Taixi countries, a silk horse in Guangzhou is sold for three hundred yuan, if it is transported to Taixi, It must not be increased by thirty times, fifty times, or even a hundred times, how can I despise such gains?"
"Shengshang, although the sea trade is profitable, the sea route is difficult and dangerous, and Xiyi also fought with his life"
"I know, so I am going to send people to cross Malacca to Tianzhu and other places to explore the way, but the use of the imperial court sailors will inevitably cause Xiyi to be frightened, so I decided to send a ship from Xibo Ni into Tianzhu Sea" This is also Zheng Kezang's involvement in the Governor's Mansion of Xibo Ni
