Immigration is a century-old plan. In particular, the northeast has a bearing on whether it will be firmly occupied and whether it will have greater stamina to expand to the north.

For the time being, the land situation is loose, and there is no large surplus labor force until the population grows significantly. Moreover, as far as the bitter cold of the northeast is concerned, I am afraid that the immigrants would rather choose the provinces of Mei and He, rather than go to the border outside the border to suffer. If we want people to go to the countryside, we need to introduce more encouraging policies and provide better conditions.

This comes down to finance, building houses, roads, seeds, cattle, etc., which are related to the enthusiasm of immigrants, but they also cost a lot.

Let's take it one step at a time! Looking at the new statistical report of the Ministry of Households, Zhu Yongxing estimated that he felt that he would not be able to achieve large-scale resettlement until at least next year, when the restoration and reconstruction of the northern region reached the expected goal. And now, they can only rely on the army to reclaim the border for the time being.

But new incentives can be rolled out first, giving people a time to think, or prepare. The preferential strength of the policy is indeed unprecedented, although it is inevitable that some people will oppose it, but under Zhu Yongxing's insistence, it is still passed.

"Recruit more than 100 people to cultivate the land in Liaodong, the official will be awarded to the county, and the officials will be trained for half a year, and they can go to work after they are qualified; Those who immigrate to Liaodong can get 10 acres of private land per person, and 30 acres of free land for a period of 10 years; The newly reclaimed wasteland in Liaodong is half of the people who reclaim the wasteland, and half of it is returned to the government; Those who immigrate to Liaodong will be abolished from the Ding tax; For those who immigrate to Liaodong, each household is loaned by the government to a horse or a cow, and 20% of the harvest of 10 acres of land can be repaid within 10 years; For those who immigrate to Liaodong, the government will build houses and resettle them, and pots, bowls, scoops, basins and other things for daily use, as well as cotton clothes and quilts and other cold items, will be distributed free of charge by the government......"

The decree was issued, and the report was issued. The new immigration policy, which will be implemented next year, immediately caused a huge sensation among the people.

Undoubtedly, for ordinary people, this is a good opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich, and they may suddenly become small landlords who own dozens or even hundreds of acres from having nothing to grow; For those who are capable. It is more important to confer officials into the office, more than 100 people, it is not too much, no imperial examination, no need to enter the academy, but it is worth a seven-grade county order.

Of course, this is an opportunity and a challenge, challenging people's confidence in the court and the army. Challenge people's adventurous spirit. After all, Liaodong is on the frontier, the war with the Tatars has not yet ended, and the natural environment is also harsh.

Perhaps a little comfort, and a sense of security, was the Imperial Court's subsequent promulgation of the Measures for the Administration of Civilian Firearms. It was also first tried among the immigrants of Liaodong, and men of appropriate age, who were in good health, had to undergo a two-week military training. Master the use of flintlock muskets and have a gun license issued by the government. Issuing guns. In addition to the daily patrols and security tasks arranged by the local government, the government will also organize a week-long training exercise in the autumn and winter of each year, and the government will issue a fixed allowance.

In other words, behind the implementation of the "Measures for the Management of Civilian Firearms". There is also the shadow of compulsory military service, or rehearsals and attempts. Zhu Yongxing hopes that through this step-by-step measure, martial arts and blood will penetrate into the soul of the Chinese nation.

Take into account financial considerations. Although the incentive policy for immigrants will take effect next year, another method has already been implemented in the army, that is, to make every effort to enable the officers and men of the Northeast Military Region to take root and settle down in this black land.

The provisions for military rewards have long existed, and now they have been intensified. For retired officers and soldiers who choose to settle down in Liaodong, housing and daily necessities are provided by the government, 100 mu of land is granted, and military cantonments or military meritorious service awards are calculated separately, 6 out of 10 land reclamation is taken, taxes are exempted for 15 years, horses, cattle, and other livestock can be bought at half price, and the repayment period is 10 years......

The most appeasement measure was to buy 500 young women from Korea and 500 young women from each of the Japanese countries, confer the status of Ming people, and concentrate them in Jinzhou to receive Chinese language training, so as to relieve the greatest worries of retired officers and soldiers who had settled in Liaodong.

North Korea and the Japanese country are poor, and they can't eat enough, I heard that they are married to the Ming country, not to mention that they are eager to rush to it, and many parents of the North Korean and Japanese countries are still very willing. Not only has he got money, but he also has a good future for his daughter, maybe he can get a Ming "green card" in the future and become a Ming person!

The reason why I chose North Korean and Japanese women is also very simple. The women of these two countries are very famous for their obedience, hard-working and hard-working in Liaodong, and from the perspective of climate and environment, they are more adaptable.

Of course, there will inevitably be some problems, but there is no way, this is also the conclusion that Zhu Yongxing has repeatedly reached.

"Long live, the problem of many boys and girls in the country already exists, why do you still want to buy women back from North Korea and the Japanese country?" Zhang Shihua, as the highest-ranking female official, although she felt disappointed that she could not enter the harem, according to her thinking, it was not bad to be a big official, which was the difference between her and most domestic women at that time.

"I don't know about it." Zhu Yongxing spread his hands helplessly and said: "But they are picky, don't say that this bitter cold land in eastern Liaodong is the northwest, and the conditions are not so bad, how many people are willing to go?" You can't force it, can you? ”

"It's not women who are picky, it's their family resistance." Zhang Shihua defended his compatriots.

"And what can you do?" Zhu Yongxing kicked the ball back again, anyway, he didn't have any good tricks.

Zhang Shihua blinked his big eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Long live can make an order to cancel the parents' orders and matchmakers' words in marriage, and prospective women can choose their husbands freely." ”

"Nonsense." Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes and said: "The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are traditions, not legal provisions, how can they be forcibly banned by the government." The crux of this question is the concept, the old concept of people, how easy is it to change? ”

"It's not easy, but you have to change it slowly!" Zhang Shihua said stubbornly: "Long live, Weichen feels that it is a little inappropriate for the imperial court to prohibit the sale of human beings on the one hand, and to buy people from other countries on the other. ”

Zhu Yongxing was stunned for a moment, and argued strongly: "The ban on human trafficking is for the people of the Ming Dynasty, foreigners, it doesn't apply!" That, the imperial court does not publicize it to the outside world, only let the soldiers of the Northeast Military Region know. That's right-" Seeing Zhang Shihua open his mouth to argue again, Zhu Yongxing hurriedly said: "What about you, you want to publicize this independent marriage more, and let the people change their concepts." Rehearsals, songs, that peacock flying southeast knows no, and what Juliet is in a foreign country, it's all a good theme! ”

Juliet? Zhang Shihua was a little dizzy, frowning slightly and falling into thought, Zhu Yongxing took the time to glance at He Shulan, the female officer next to him, and snorted.

"陛xià." He Shulan comprehended, and stepped forward and said: "The governor of Liaoning is about to take office, come to His Majesty to resign, and ask His Majesty to move to Ziguang Pavilion." ”

Oh, Zhu Yongxing suddenly got up and said to Zhang Shihua: "Zhang Qing, let's talk about this today, if you have any ideas, just go to Chen." ”

"Long live, there is still the matter of opening a school, and the household department is not enough!" Zhang Shihua didn't dare to stop Zhu Yongxing, but he kept talking.

"I know, I'll ask the household department." Zhu Yongxing responded randomly, turned the table, and slipped away through the side door.

He Shulan followed closely, covering her mouth gently, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh. Zhu Yongxing is too tolerant of his courtiers, and she doesn't agree with this very much.

"I didn't expect this Shihua to be quite stubborn!" Zhu Yongxing muttered as he walked, "You stayed with her for a few days before, right?" ”

He Shulan was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Zhu Yongxing appreciated or disgusted, so she said cautiously: "Time is still short, and everyone is restrained, but I can't see the temperament. However, Shi Hua is from overseas, so he thinks and acts differently from others, right? ”

"Well, I don't think there's anything wrong with being stubborn, but I have a solid look." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "Women, if you want to break through tradition, you need such an example. That Li Yingmei is not bad, she reads a little less, but she acts simply and directly, but she has a sharp spirit. ”

"There is always something unique about looking at people and things." He Shulan said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the long live wisdom and martial arts that the ministers below have a place to show, and there are many famous ministers." ”

"That's a cliché." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "But if you want to say this in history, those emperors also think that this is the case, and they have produced capable ministers, and they are also virtuous monarchs." Well, I don't rob my courtiers of their merits, nor do I be stingy with rewards, but if I violate the law of the country, I won't tolerate it. Whether it is treacherous or loyal, each person's way is his own way, and he has nothing to do with me. ”

"Long live benevolence, but there is a conscience, and the courtiers dare not deceive the king." He Shulan still can't get rid of the theoretical shackles of that set of feudal traditions, and it's no wonder that she can't be blamed.

Zhu Yongxing shook his head lightly, but he didn't say more, his footsteps paused, and he asked with some uncertainty: "The governor of Liaoning is here?" Not an excuse for you? ”

"Your Majesty, today is indeed the safety of Your Majesty's resignation, and the time should come, how can any courtier want to make Banzai wait for a long time?" He Shulan pursed the corners of her mouth a little amusedly, and said, "Long live is busy with business, but there is no need to make any excuses. ”

Zhu Yongxing smiled to himself, but when he saw He Shulan's delicate appearance, he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart, a girl in the mood for love, even if she looks average, she also exudes an attractive youthful atmosphere, not to mention that He Shulan is very beautiful!

Lu Wenyang, from the point of view of time, can be regarded as starting from the Dragon Party, from the Chongming County Order, at that time the two armies of the Ming and Qing dynasties were fighting fiercely south of the Yangtze River, and when the shape was unclear, they returned from the north all the way to the south, and they were loyal to the Ming court, which is really valuable.

Although the utilitarian heart is a little stronger, Zhu Yongxing is different from others, and he does not despise it, but regards it as a positive advantage.

The change of Liaodong to Liaoning Province began with Lu Wenyang taking office. Although the front-line war is still going on, and half of Liaoning has not yet been recovered, from the perspective of shape, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has been difficult to support, or hold on to Shenyang, fight to the death with the Ming army, or continue to retreat, making a long-term plan of "staying in the green mountains, not afraid of no firewood".
