"Aiqing knows how many people in Daming need to immigrate to live overseas now?" Zhu Youzhen said directly.

Wang Min did not hesitate at all, and immediately opened his mouth to respond to Zhu Youzhen's question.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the current statistics should be that about 23 million people need to go overseas, and with the severity or change of the drought situation, it is expected that no more than 40 million people will need to live overseas."

"Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty immigration plan implemented this time is the most ambitious immigration plan of my Ming Dynasty since its establishment. After success, the Ming Dynasty will gain a more vast land, and the people's lives will also achieve the same qualitative leap. ”

In the end, Wang Min didn't forget to follow Zhu Youzhen to a rainbow fart.

At the beginning of the immigration plan, in fact, there was a lot of opposition within the imperial court, especially some officials of the old ministry felt quite incomprehensible about it.

The constant changes in the new policies of the imperial court were beyond their acceptance and understanding.

According to their ideas, many of the systems of the Ming Dynasty should be immutable, rather than constantly innovating as they are now.

But what they don't understand is what kind of situation Zhu Youzhen is facing now.

If you miss the opportunity now.

Then Daming will face a more critical situation in the future.

Of course, Zhu Youzhen would not be willing to encounter such a situation, so they could only hold back obediently if they had opinions.

If they really have a lot of opinions, then there are more people with opinions in the Ming Dynasty, and they can go there and have a good chat with them.

It doesn't even matter if you exchange views.

After all, opinions can have something to do.

"I ask you again, how many immigrants can be accommodated in the resettlement area that has been planned and built now?"

Wang Min thought for a moment before answering.

"If you go back to Your Majesty, if we calculate according to the existing Annam Resettlement Area and Dongfan Resettlement Area, the total number of immigrants we can accept now is expected to exceed 15 million."

"Then Aiqing, do you know why the total number of immigrants does not exceed 10 million, but the resettlement area of more than 15 million people has been built?"

In fact, these problems are some of the most common problems within the Daming Immigration Bureau, after all, since the construction of the General Administration of Immigration, the Daming Royal Bureau of Statistics has been providing a steady stream of useful statistics.

But these questions can just show whether Wang Min really tried his best to plan the details.

If a courtier, an official, only studies those things like the sky every day, it is bound to be difficult to do it in a down-to-earth manner.

"Returning to Your Majesty, there are two main considerations for the imperial court to build an immigration area that can accommodate more people."

"The first is to deal with a rapid drought that will lead to a possible migration boom in the future."

"The second is to give the local indigenous people a certain amount of living space when they work on the land of the Ming people, and the resettlement area is destined to be overcrowded. When the number of people in the settlement area reaches a certain percentage, then it is necessary to continue to expand the settlement area. ”

For Wang Min's answer, Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied.

"Then I want to tell you now that the resettlement area in Annam may not be enough after a while."

"I now have an idea, that is, to annex North Korea to the Ming Dynasty and set up a new Korean province, I don't know what Aiqing thinks about this?"

After listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Min immediately understood that the establishment of a new form of North Korea is, to put it bluntly, the establishment of a new immigration area closer to the Ming Dynasty.

But he knows better that North Korea's geographical location is actually more advantageous than Annam.

Although North Korea is not able to provide higher grain production to feed more people of the Ming Dynasty by virtue of its better geographical location and natural conditions like Annam.

But after all, it's overseas.

North Korea is different, after passing through the Jinyi station Daming Liaodong and North Korea are actually bordered.

Therefore, the establishment of an immigration area in North Korea is undoubtedly a good thing for the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Wang Min knows it.

When the Later Jin invaded North Korea, it had already greatly lost the vitality of North Korea, and the status of the North Korean royal family plummeted in the eyes of the people.

If at this time, the Ming Dynasty came forward to accept the entire Korean Dynasty into the Ming Dynasty, then there would basically not be much pressure.

It didn't even take much time and effort for the Ming to admit the whole of North Korea.

So Wang Min immediately said: "It is undoubtedly a good thing to return to Your Majesty to accept North Korea into the Ming Province and set up a Ming immigration area within it.

The status of North Korea is extremely important to our Ming Dynasty, it is adjacent to Fusang in the east, Houjin in the north, and borders Liaodong in the Ming Dynasty, and faces the mainland across the sea, which is undoubtedly a good place. ”

Zhu Youzhen nodded, but then said: "What I am thinking about now is what should be done with the Emperor Taiji of Jin after the Ming people emigrated to Korea?" ”

"I feel that for North Korea, the Emperor Taiji of the Later Jin Dynasty will not give up, and the treaty signed before, the Emperor Taiji is actually violating the Ming Dynasty when he is waiting for the opportunity to change."

Wang Min's eyes were sharp, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he can go on another Northern Expedition!" This year's drought has made it difficult for me to be in the Ming Dynasty, and Houjin is not much better. ”

"Instead of waiting for the Jiannu of Houjin to come to the Ming Dynasty to loot because they can't survive, it is better for us to strangle it directly in the cradle."

Wang Min's thoughts undoubtedly coincide with Zhu Youzhen's thoughts.

Immediately, Zhu Youzhen said.

"I have decided to prepare for another northern expedition."

It is absolutely impossible for Huang Taiji not to solve it, this is true for Daming, and even more so for Zhu Youzhen.

As the saying goes, where you lie on the couch, you can't let others sleep soundly.

At the very least, we must drive Jiannu to Siberia, either to build a railway there, or to dig potatoes there, in short, we must not hang next to Daming.

Next.

Zhu Youzhen decreed that the Ming Dynasty would start a new round of military reform, but this time the reform was mainly aimed at the reform of military ranks and positions within the Ming army, so the speed was relatively fast, and it was carried out first than the Tianhu Army.

The main purpose is to change the current chaos within the Ming army.

The new military reform plan classifies all soldiers of the Ming Dynasty as private, first class, and first class.

Among them, the private is a new soldier, the first class is a two-year soldier, and the senior soldier is a three-year soldier.

This is simply based on the length of service.

In addition, according to the different battles in which the military industry participated, the rewards received were different, and they could also be classified for rapid jumping.

This is only the most basic soldier, in addition, Zhu Youzhen also learned a lot of experience from later generations.
