Chapter 511: Wang, Kindness, Innocence, Xuan
This is not wrong, in the period of feudal social merger, population is not a valuable resource, but as time goes by, the population is increasing, the demand for food and other necessities of life is increasing, and it will become a heavy burden on the country.
It is the current Ming Dynasty, because the two super crops of potatoes and sweet potatoes have not yet been popularized in China, the population of 70 or 80 million has reached its peak, and now the population has become a burden on the Ming court.
There is almost a unified argument among the high-level of the imperial court, there is no need to be afraid of natural disasters and man-made disasters, the more people die, the better, if more than 20 million people can die, then the Ming Dynasty can still take a breath, and it will continue for dozens or hundreds of years.
Of course, the premise of this is that natural and man-made disasters should not be beyond the scope of control, and there is no external enemy, but this is basically impossible.
Although the population of the Ming Dynasty has reached its peak now, it is still not a simple matter to take out more than three million people, Huguang, Jiangxi, Nanzhili, and Zhejiang have the largest population, accounting for nearly half of the Ming Dynasty, but these four places are controlled by the Chu Party, the Zhejiang Party, and the Donglin Party.
These three parties would rather these people starve to death than let them run to Wang Xuan's side!
"The old prince doesn't need to feel embarrassed, the Xu family is a double prince, isn't there still a line of Dingguo Gong, you can find a way from the north, as long as people can reach the vicinity of Tianjin, I can take it directly with a big boat!" Wang Xuan began to give him ideas, "Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hebei and Henan, a lot of people in distress can't eat enough, as long as there is food, they are still afraid of abduction and trafficking...... No, the population cannot be recruited! ”
"As for the problem of food, there is no need to worry about the old country, in addition to the money, I Wang Xuan also has a lot of food, recently I am worried that this grain is too much to sell, and I have begun to prepare for winemaking, if it is still consumed, then we are ready to feed the pigs, we have a big ship, a boat over, it is more than a thousand tons, close to three million catties, the price is cheap, how much do you want!"
With the development and construction of water conservancy facilities in Fujian, Guangdong, and Guangxi, and the development of land in Xiaoliuqiu and Annam, it is expected that this year's grain output will be four times that of the past, and it can really only be used to feed pigs in this way.
"Okay." Having said this, Xu Hongji could only nod and agree, otherwise he would have kicked his nose in the face, is Wang Xuan really a good talker!
In fact, don't look at him opening his mouth and closing his mouth Xu lineage, in fact, he just wants to focus on his Wei Guogong lineage, after all, both lineages are Guogong, just one Kyushu Island, how to divide it when the time comes?
There is a way that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the earth, if the two families are equal, why not wait for a fight!
But if it is said that it is divided into high and low, whether it is the first line of Wei Guogong or the first line of Dingguo Gong, he will not be willing to be low and small.
This has nothing to do with who talked to Wang Xuan, in the final analysis, it is the Xu family, the ancestors are all Xu Da, the two veins, one south and one north, and they have supported each other for more than 200 years in order to maintain their longevity.
Of course, it is also because of the beauty of distance, if you live together...... What kind of snoring, farting and grinding teeth, sooner or later will have a falling out!
Wang Xuan definitely didn't expect this, after all, he was kind and innocent, how could he have that kind of dark thought.
Moreover, even if there is a day, he Wang Xuan will definitely not stand idly by, it is a big deal to help them build a place, such as Siguo Island or something, of course, the labor expedition, the soldiers are also hard, although he definitely does not want to be paid, but thinking about it, with the atmosphere of the Xu family, he will definitely not take advantage of it in vain!
The two discussed for a long time, and decided on a few ways to pick up and send people, before they ended the meeting, and when they left, Wang Xuan didn't go to send them off, since they wanted to keep it secret, they followed their wishes.
It's just that the matter of the Wa Kingdom can be put on the agenda, but this matter is not urgent, after all, the cross-sea expedition, don't look at what Wang Xuan said looks like he is captured, in fact, he is more cautious than anyone else when it comes to implementation.
His current prestige is won one after another, and the soldiers in his hands are all real elites who have piled up money, and he is terrible and really accidentally thrown at sea.
Ordered someone to summon Sun Chuanting, Wang Xuan took the drawings and explained directly: "Send a fleet of ships to carefully inspect along this route, and build three ports along the way, which can not only provide a large army to stop for repairs, but also to receive merchant ships, of course, the early stage must be based on the stationing of large troops." ”
"This ......" Sun Chuanting looked up at Wang Xuan and couldn't help asking, "Lord, is this an expedition to the Wa Kingdom?" Revenge for the other side's piracy? ”
"What? Do you have any disagreements, let's hear them? Wang Xuan's words carried three points to the school.
"The subordinates think that there is no need, the lord can not raise a division out of anger, now even if we defeat the Japanese state, we are not able to occupy it, the population under the rule is not even satisfied with the land of these five provinces, the labor force is already seriously insufficient, moreover, this Japanese country is too far away, except for the production of gold and silver, there is basically nothing, in the eyes of the subordinates, this Japanese country is not as suitable for our development as Luzon, in fact, only the southeast peninsula that has been discovered, if there is ten years of hard work, it can not be developed."
"Yes, you're right, but this time we didn't fight the Japanese country for ourselves, someone hired us to do it, and the price was three million people!"
Sun Chuanting was shocked when he heard this, who was the person who had such a big hand!
"You reminded me of one thing." Without waiting for Sun Chuanting to think more, Wang Xuan continued: "The population of this Ming Dynasty is still too small, an order from the Ministry of Distribution, a birth reward order, for both husband and wife, the second child will be rewarded with five taels of silver, the third child will be rewarded with ten taels of silver, the fourth child will be rewarded with twenty taels of silver, and the fifth child will be rewarded with thirty taels, and so on, this order will be temporarily implemented for ten years." ”
"In addition, modeled on the Southeast Asian Institute of Zoology and Flora, a Chinese medical school was established in Fujian, famous doctors were dug up for me from all over the country, medical classics were reorganized, prescriptions for some common diseases were fixed, and Chinese patent medicines were manufactured, which were easy to carry and sell.
"By the way, especially to visit, the kind of doctor who studies corpses and dissects corpses, finds that he must bring people back to me intact, these are all talents!"
Sun Chuanting's face turned dark, his body was affected by his parents, since ancient times, people have hated those acts of desecrating other people's corpses, and at this moment, when he heard that Wang Xuan was going to find those crooked people who dissected the corpses, he almost couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade him, and finally thought of the Five Poisons Sect, so he opened his mouth and didn't say anything.
Wang Xuan's usage of those people completely subverted his cognition, the same skill, in the hands of others, is a crooked and evil way, and it becomes a baby bump here...... Really, the world is unpredictable, maybe this person who likes to fiddle with corpses has some use that 'normal people' can't understand!
Anyway, in his eyes, Wang Xuan is not a normal person at all, normal people will never be able to make so many strange things, a few days ago, Wang Xuan also took him to see the test called 'microscope', when he saw countless small insects invisible to the naked eye from a drop of clear water, he vomited on the spot, I really can't imagine how many insects he drank when he drank water every day......
Disgusting, he was almost ready to quit water!
Oh, I looked at the moon with a thing called a telescope that night, there was no Guanghan Palace, no laurel tree, no jade rabbit, and no legendary Chang'e, Chang'e, Chang'e......
Thinking about the ethereal scenes depicted in various poems and songs, and then looking at the potholed and rotten ground, it really made him a little broken!
Shaking his head to shake off those messy thoughts, seeing that Wang Xuan had no other instructions, he immediately went out to make arrangements, and now as Wang Xuan's personal secretary, he basically replaces Wang Xuan to deal with eighty percent of the affairs, and he is busy every day without touching the ground, but he enjoys it.
The whole south is getting rich at a speed that is visible to the naked eye, although Wang Xuan has killed a lot of evil, but he has benefited more people, and he can do his part in this process, watching the people be stable and rich, he is satisfied with his poor background, and he is willing to die, but I hope that Wang Xuan can promote all this to the north as soon as possible, his hometown is in Shanxi, and he is really poor over there!
Wang Xuan gave the order, and a fleet of twenty large and small ships set off on the third day, sailing all the way to the island of Kyushu in the Japanese country, not only to accurately measure the route of the march, but also to select the port of call.
Of course, the most important thing was to remove obstacles for the army, which led 2,000 men.
About ten years ago, the Ryukyu Kingdom was occupied by the Satsuma of the Wa Kingdom, and the fleet needed to clean up these Japanese slaves first, and then talk about other things, as for the Ryukyu Kingdom itself, it was too small, Wang Xuan didn't pay attention to it at all, no matter who arrived in the Ryukyus, they only had to cooperate.
It took more than three months before the fleet returned again, and the 2,000 soldiers had stayed in the Ryukyu Kingdom to prevent the Samoas from invading again, and at this time, with the cooperation of the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Dingguo, hundreds of thousands of people had been brought to the south by Wang Xuan, and many problems were solved.
Although the three million people did not all 'deliver', Wang Xuan was not afraid that they would dare to regret it, and besides, thinking about it quietly, Wang Xuan also wanted to go out and walk around.
It's definitely not because he, a former modern person, can go to play a small day...... Son, and the excitement can't sit still!
Kill, burn, rob!
Three-light policy!
It's impossible......
