The Emperor of the Apocalypse then said, "Then what is Zhang Qing's true intention?" ”

"Let people get out."

"Going out?"

The Emperor of the Apocalypse looked at Zhang Jingyi in surprise.

Zhang Jing said: "Even if I don't count Liaodong, I have hundreds of millions of people, and there are two capitals and thirteen provinces in Guannai, and the household registration was thoroughly checked the year before last, with a total of 13 million households and a population of nearly 10,000 people!" ”

10,000,000,000 people counts as 100

Of course, before that, the population problem is a confused account, the Ming Dynasty has a special household registration system, but this system has many loopholes, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, a large number of displaced people appeared, and there are many gentry and wealthy households in order to tax exemption needs, so hide the population, therefore, the number of registered population, This has been peaceful for more than 200 years of the Ming Dynasty, and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty after the end of the chaos is almost the same.

However, after that, especially after the implementation of the New Deal, a large number of people began to go deep into the prefectures and counties to conduct population inventory.

On the other hand, because of the distribution of land, the people who had been hiding before, as well as the displaced people, have also surfaced.

Just kidding, if you don't stand up at this time, you won't have your share of the field.

After this inventory, the imperial court finally came up with an accurate figure, that is, the population of Guannei was more than 97 million, and the population of Guanwai, that is, Liaodong, was also close to 7 million.

This population size, at least in this era, is definitely a standout from the crowd, and you must know that in this era, the size of a million people is already a big country.

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, his face was full of red light, after all, in the cognition of this era, under his rule, the increase in population was a good thing.

At this time, I saw Zhang Jingyi and said: "And the minister has also noticed a situation, that is, the new population in recent years, and the increase is also extremely fast." ”

"Oh?" The Emperor of the Apocalypse said, "Really? ”

"Yes." Zhang Jing together: "This is all thanks to His Majesty's Hongfu, the new deal was launched, the world is under great governance, not to mention others, just talking about grain production, even the annual growth, the world's hunger, has long been less than half, the previous reduction in population, is nothing more than natural disasters and man-made disasters, and I Ming Chengping, there are almost no major wars inside and outside the Guan, the food problem has also been greatly alleviated, and there is the current development of medicine, in the past, the people gave birth to five children, they had to die two or three, and now, it has been compressed to the level of one or two premature deaths, which is a thousand years of unprecedented things, congratulations. ”

Therefore, the minister believes that the population will grow rapidly in the future, and in recent years, the minister has sent people to some villages in prefectures and counties to investigate, and the vast majority of villages, the increase in population is one or even two percent of the previous years. Ten years ago, if a village could add 10 people a year, now it can add 123 people, and what is even more terrifying is ...... The premature mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and the minister even thinks that it is ...... Twenty or thirty years later, even if the population of the Ming Dynasty doubles and doubles again, to 40,000 or even 60,000, it is not impossible. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he gasped and said in surprise: "So much? ”

"Overcrowded, naturally there are good and bad, but so many people, although it can be called a very prosperous world, but the minister thinks that I also need to take precautions, and I should properly encourage some people to go out of Liaodong and out of the Guannei. To go anywhere in the world, or to settle down, or to do business, this is the only way...... On the one hand, the number of people in my Ming Dynasty can still continue to grow, and on the other hand, it has also greatly alleviated these problems. ”

Otherwise, one person could get ten acres of land, but after thirty or fifty years, one person might not even be able to share one acre. And whether these people go to sea or go to the Western Regions, it is naturally my Ming Dynasty who has gone deep into all parts of the world...... Well, how to describe it, let's just talk about chess pieces, no matter what in the future, my Ming blood will spread all over the world, why not? ”

"The most important thing is that if they want to gain a foothold in various places, they will inevitably need the support of the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty will prosper, so that they will not be rejected and excluded by others. Even they can take advantage of language and customs to be responsible for establishing a trade network for my Ming Dynasty, and also find a market for the goods of countless workshops of my Ming Dynasty, Your Majesty, this is a hundred-year plan. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "It's just that people leave their hometowns, who is willing to go?" ”

Zhang Jingyi said: "Therefore, a complete set of plans is needed, on the one hand, to encourage, on the other hand, it is also the Ming Dynasty that needs to work out a plan with the vassal states to protect the overseas Chinese, in addition, we must also make good use of the network of factory guards. Therefore...... I thought it was ...... Your Majesty must not be arrogant, but the tributary system that can be used needs to be changed, and the tributaries of various countries need to be changed...... The first thing is to ensure that trade is necessary to ensure that the Ming Dynasty can communicate with the other countries, and the second is to ensure the safety of the merchants and the expatriates and ensure that they can freely purchase property within the feudal domains. The businessman went first, and he had to buy the property, and after the purchase, there was no one who needed to take care of it, and under the heavy reward, there would be a brave man, so why worry about people not going? What's more, I am a Ming Dynasty, and I also need the world's resources for my use, and the minerals and specialties of the feudal country are also valuable, and it is inevitable that some people will covet them and be willing to go, maybe they can get rich overnight, with this motivation, the minister is not worried that people can't go out. ”

When the Emperor of the Apocalypse heard this, he was thoughtful again.

Zhang Jingyi thinks that the future will be overcrowded, so evacuate countless people, and at the same time evacuate, a large number of business and trade can be developed, but ...... In this way...... States will certainly be on guard.

After all...... A large number of Han people suddenly appeared in the country, and the language is not understood between each other, the other party often has a lot of money, born more than the local natives, and they have contact with the Ming Dynasty at any time, it can be said that the future market is more transparent than the locals, these people can use the high-quality goods of the Ming Dynasty in a few years, become a local rich family, and obtain a large number of social resources.

This is tantamount to directly shattering the original social structure of various countries, and it is strange that the princes and nobles of all countries in the world do not have doubts.

So the Emperor of the Apocalypse said suspiciously: "Are they willing?" ”

"Naturally, I don't want to, but I also have two advantages. On the one hand, the ancestors had already established a tributary system, and they did not covet their territory because of the more favorable conditions for the vassal states, so they ...... There is still a good reputation, and there is a good reputation...... At the very least, I can ensure that their princes and nobles will not worry that my Ming Dynasty will attempt to swallow them. The second is that Liaodong, the Eight Banners and the Liumin Army all the way to the west, where they passed, the four seas vibrate, who doesn't know now, my Ming army has reached the extreme, once provoked, it is inevitable that there will be no grass and ashes. It is inevitable that countries need to weigh one or two things and protect themselves wisely. Rather than having a bad relationship with my Ming Dynasty and being condemned by my Ming Dynasty, it is better to surrender your hands and accept these conditions. ”

The Emperor of the Apocalypse said: "I have heard that those who do not seek eternity are not enough to seek a moment; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. Zhang Qing thought about it many years later. Zhang Qing's words, in fact, I also have some doubts......"

It is understandable that he has doubts, because this is different from the long-standing values, the ancestors and ancestors of the Emperor of the Apocalypse regard the people who go to sea as outcasts, and they do not encourage the people to go to the sea to make a living.

In this era, in the market, there is also the same thinking, thinking that people who leave their hometowns are often cheap.

Of course, Zhang Jingyi is not ignorant of this truth, but he believes that migrating population is not a completely correct thing, but in terms of pros and cons, migrating while the Ming Dynasty is the strongest is a harmless thing, and even has a huge impact on thousands of years later.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse simply said, "But since Zhang Qing thinks that this is beneficial to my Ming Dynasty, then I will be gracious." ”

The efficiency of the Ministry of Rites was very high, and after figuring out the intentions of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, especially Zhang Jingyi, who came to the door almost every day to supervise, soon a charter was sent to the Emperor of the Apocalypse.

The Emperor of the Apocalypse read more than 30 detailed articles in it, starting from the relationship with the Ming Dynasty and the vassal states, and then involved in diplomacy, economy, and justice, so he ordered the cabinet to implement it.

On the cabinet side, under the leadership of Sun Chengzong, the edict was quickly drafted and distributed to all countries.

At this time...... The envoys of the Japanese kingdom who were entrenched in the capital were the first to get the news.

After reading the edict, their first reaction was to worry.

As a matter of fact...... In addition to saying that you will beat you, this edict basically restricts the behavior of a large number of Japanese kings and princes, and in addition to the necessary tribute, it even directly involves the judicial, commercial and even civil code issues of the Japanese state.

This is obviously a bit difficult for the Japanese people to accept.

However, after seeing such 'harsh' conditions, the second reaction of the Japanese people was a long sigh of relief.

Honest...... Before they came, the worst plan they did was for Da Ming to find an excuse that the sailor might arrive on Wajima, and then beat him up without saying a word.

The Japanese are not stupid, the Dutch forced them to open the country, let them see the Dutch ships and cannons, and now the Dutch people are beaten all over the ground by the Ming to find teeth, if the Ming really do something to them, it will be a catastrophe.

Now the other party put forward a more harsh condition, but it makes people breathe a sigh of relief, this is like doing business, if the other party laughs and says anything, then eight or nine out of ten people are not here to do business with you at all, but have made up their minds to rob you.

On the contrary, this harsh bargaining is like a real buyer and seller.

All of a sudden, I felt relieved, and I was okay...... At least...... This is not the worst possible outcome.
