"It is beneficial to the country and the people, and this official has no reason to object, I will issue an order for the military department to be transferred according to the cabinet proposal, and order Li Zhan, the governor of the naval division, to garrison Seoul."

After weighing the pros and cons, Yu Qian nodded and agreed to Shen Yichen's proposal, this is his consistent official principle, no matter whether there is a personal relationship or personal grudge with the other party, as long as it is for the benefit of the country and the people, he can do official business.

Hearing Yu Qian's answer, a surging smile appeared on Shen Yichen's face, in a sense, this result was what he expected.

"In addition to the collusion of the three Jurchen tribes with North Korea, I have one more thing I want to discuss with Yu Shaobao."

"Shen Yuanfu, please speak."

"As early as the end of last year, Chengguo Gong received a letter from Jing Yuanbo, the main content of which was to hope that the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies would move south to Luchuan at least 200,000 military households, so as to solve the rebellion of the local Tusi Nanban once and for all."

"Two hundred thousand military households?"

Hearing this number, Yu Qian's eyes widened and his face was a little shocked, the current national strength of the Ming Dynasty and the situation in the south made it impossible to forcibly requisition 200,000 military households to a place like Luchuan.

If it is really necessary to forcibly move south, it can basically be determined in advance that it will lead to a riot of military households, and when the time comes, Luchuan will not be peaceful, and the south will be in chaos and the trouble will be even greater.

"Impossible, now that the military households have fled their nationality seriously, 200,000 military households can transfer the entire southern state capital. If the common people are requisitioned to move south, it will definitely cause turmoil and violence, and this matter is absolutely not feasible! ”

Yu Qian immediately vetoed the idea of Jingyuan Bo Wang Ji, just like Shen Yichen's original consideration, the cost of immigrating to Tunbian is too great, and it is not at all within the scope of the current Ming country's strength.

If even a pragmatic official like Yu Qian has no room for negotiation, the result of the vote in the court can be imagined. Even if Shen Yichen controlled the cabinet, and Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo, controlled the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, he forcibly issued the order to move south.

Without the cooperation of middle- and lower-level officials, the decree is just a piece of waste paper, and it is impossible for Shen Yichen to bring people to Luchuan door to door, right?

"Yu Shaobao, what if you don't have to force the levy?"

"No need to force it? How do you immigrate to Tunbian? ”

Facing Shen Yichen's words, Yu Qian's expression was full of doubts, Emperor Taizong wanted to immigrate millions to defend Annan, but in the end he could only fail, could Shen Yichen still be stronger than Emperor Taizong?

"The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, as long as the immigrants can make enough profits, then they are not afraid that no one will go!"

When Shen Yichen said this, his expression instantly became firm. He knows the colonial history of the Age of Discovery, not to mention Annam, a small area in the south of the Ming Dynasty, but the ancient European colonists risked their lives and came to the East thousands of miles away, went to Australia, and conquered the Americas!

Why did the European colonizers do these things, because they were born with an adventurist spirit?

Probably, but even if there were, it would not be a decisive factor.

What really stimulated the development of the Age of Discovery was the huge profits and benefits brought by colonization, which led to the emergence of adventurers from all over the world.

In fact, the Ming Dynasty's Age of Navigation far surpassed that of ancient Europe, and the fundamental reason why it was not maintained was that the income was not good. Let's not discuss the question of whether to grab or not, most of the entire Southeast Asian routes are barbarian lands, which cannot support enough business scale at all, and there are only two things that are really valuable, that is, land and population.

However, the problem is that the Ming Dynasty, which prides itself on being a ceremonial state, does not take the initiative to engage in colonial rule, and cannot achieve a balance of payments for a huge fleet like treasure ships by relying solely on the West Asian trade of the Maritime Silk Road.

After a lot of tossing and turning in the West, the upper class felt that labor and money hurt the people, and the lower class thought that the tired travel could make a policy unpleasing to both ends, and this would be a ghost if it did not fail.

"Shen Yuanfu, what can you do?"

Yu Qian hurriedly asked, pacifying the trouble of Luchuan can be said to be the heart disease of the main battle faction of the Ming Dynasty, Shen Yichen is talented and intelligent, maybe he can think of a best of both worlds!

"It's very simple, that is, so that immigrants can go to Luchuan and Burma to enclose land, each household starts on a first-come, first-served basis, and the household department subsidizes ten taels of silver per year for a period of ten years, and then orders the southern Ming army under the command of Jing Yuanbo to provide military support for immigrants."

Later history textbooks highlight a chapter describing the "enclosure" movement in Britain, which was one of the processes that broke with agrarian traditions and moved towards a capitalist mode of production. Of course, Shen Yichen didn't want to step into capitalism in one step, he just wanted to use the enclosure to stimulate and encourage immigrants.

You must know that the Chinese have been farming since ancient times, and they have a deep obsession with the land, and the land in Myanmar is actually not barren, and the natural conditions are much better than those in the Western Regions. As long as you can cross the plateau where Luchuan meets northern Myanmar, you can get a large plain and the Bay of Bengal Delta.

The Han people have been fierce since ancient times, otherwise it would be impossible to occupy the fertile land of the Central Plains, but it is a pity that Zhao Song Deguo did not rely on Cheng Zhu Lixue to castrate the blood, and regarded the warriors as jackals, tigers and leopards, for fear that the rebellion at the bottom of the feudal town would threaten the imperial power.

What Shen Yichen has to do is to use land and money to stimulate the hearts of the lowest peasants of the Han people, and the military households can still be armed in the name of justice, but the force is not enough, and the hundreds of thousands of Southern Expeditionary troops of the Ming Dynasty can still become the last reliance.

1,000 acres is just a standard, the land is there, and how much you can occupy depends on your own ability. Shen Yichen is not afraid of any feudal towns, on the contrary, the more abundant martial virtues, the greater the expansion of the territory of the Ming Dynasty.

After listening to Shen Yichen's description, Yu Qian gasped, the bloody logic behind this kind of enclosure undoubtedly trampled on the Confucian benevolence and morality to the soles of his feet. Even if Yu Qian was a main battle faction and regarded these vassal states as uncivilized barbarians, he still couldn't do such an undisguised robbery.

Yu Qian didn't want to use the moral high ground to refute Shen Yichen, so he could only ask rhetorically with a more realistic difficulty: "Let's not talk about whether or not you can enclose the land, just the annual settlement allowance of 10 taels of silver for 200,000 military households is enough to have 2 million taels and close to one-tenth of the income of the Ming Dynasty, how can you afford it?" ”

"Immigration cannot be done in one step, and it will not cost more than one million taels of silver in the early stage. Now that the construction of the Daming Customs has been completed, coupled with the promulgation of the "Sect Ordinance" last year, these two items alone can increase tax revenue by more than one million taels, not to mention the silver inflow brought about by the surge in trade with the Wa Kingdom. ”

"When everything is on the right track, the next fleet will officially set sail to open up the Maritime Silk Road, and in addition to the policy to increase the support for commerce and trade, soon the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue will usher in a new high, and it is only a matter of time before it breaks through 30 million taels!"

Shen Yichen was full of energy when he said this, you must know that the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty has always been maintained at around 20 million taels of silver, and it is also the middle of the Qing Dynasty when the country is closed, but it can earn 4,000 to 50 million taels, and it has surged to more than 100 million in the Guangxu period.

The policy of "emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce" suppressed the vigorous development of commerce, and the small-scale peasant economy was destined to be financially tight for the imperial court.

Now the sea is banned, the customs are built, and with the development of the enclosure movement, the silver circulation trade with the Japanese has been opened up in advance. As long as Shen Yichen implements the policy of supporting commerce and trade, I believe that the Ming Dynasty will be able to show signs of budding capitalism in the Jiangnan region a hundred years in advance.

If you want to solve the financial crisis of the imperial court, the solution is nothing more than to open up sources and reduce expenditure, but the importance of open source is far more important than reducing expenditure.

The giant wheel of history has been pushed by Shen Yichen, and the huge inertia makes it impossible to stop, I believe that as long as it is just a few years, Daming's tax revenue will show an explosive growth, and the small amount of money will not be an obstacle at all!

Yu Qian couldn't be sure that Shen Yichen's words would come true, but he seemed to see a completely different path in the future.

If this road is passed, the Ming Dynasty will reproduce the scene of the Han and Tang dynasties expeditioning thousands of miles, if it can't be passed, then it will be dragged down by the heavy burden brought by the reckless army.

Do you really want to gamble with the fortunes of the country?

"It's too big, and I need to think about it again."

Yu Qian was not encouraged by Shen Yichen's words after all, it was not a trivial matter for 200,000 military households to move south to enclose land, and it was very likely that it would shake the country's foundation if it really caused turmoil.

"Jing Yuanbo's letter was delivered to Beijing at the end of last year, and more than 100,000 soldiers of the Southern Expeditionary Army have been mired in the quagmire of war, and once they withdraw, they will reproduce the scene of Annam, and the Tusi people will make a comeback with the support of the Ava Dynasty in Burma."

"This kind of thing has happened more than once, the three Luchuan battles have been fought for more than ten years, and countless Ming soldiers are buried in other places, and there is not much time to wait for consideration. If Yu Shaobao is really difficult to make up his mind, I hope you can talk to Cheng Guogong once, and I believe he will give more sufficient reasons. ”

Yu Gong, Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong is the de facto "metropolitan governor" of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and the Ministry of War must cooperate with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies in the matter of moving military households to the south.

Yu Private, Shen Yichen and Chengguo Gong Zhu Yong discussed, the two sides have reached a consensus on this matter, and the statement of the Xunqi group can persuade the military department to cooperate with the order.

"Okay, this official will visit Chengguo Gong."

Yu Qian was originally the main battle faction for the conquest of Luchuan, and he, like Shen Yichen, hoped that the place could be settled forever, so he naturally would not refuse to discuss with Zhu Yong, the Duke of Chengguo.

At this point, Shen Yichen had nothing else to do, he knew that Yu Qian did not have the habit of polite chatter, so he got up and arched his hand and said: "The government affairs of the cabinet have been sorted out, so don't bother Yu Shaobao too much, and leave first." ”

"Wait a minute, I also have a personal matter I want to tell Shen Yuanfu."

Personal?

Hearing Yu Qian say this, Shen Yichen was a little surprised, he was stunned for a moment and then nodded and replied: "Yu Shaobao, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The governor of the Beijing Camp Military Department told that Shi Heng, the Duke of Zhongguo, mobilized a group of family members from the Xuanda Border Army into Beijing and placed them in the Beijing Camp soldiers and horses. Such a move is extraordinary, I suspect that it is the back hand of the impeachment failure of the Zhengdan Dynasty, and Shen Yuanfu should pay more attention. ”

Shi Heng transferred private soldiers into Beijing?

Shen Yichen's expression instantly became serious, he knew what kind of character Shi Heng was, and it was very likely that he would make drastic moves under impulse, especially when there was a Cao Jixiang next to him.

"Thank you for the warning, I'll pay attention."

Shen Yichen thanked him, and then turned around and left, he planned to meet Zhao Hongjie now, and investigate Shi Heng through the power of Jinyiwei, what he wanted to do.

However, just as Shen Yichen turned around, Yu Qian's voice came from behind: "To the north, I did not object to the impeachment of the court at the Zhengdan Dynasty, in fact, it was ......"

Yu Qian has never been a person who is good at expressing his emotions, but he always remembers the scene of farewell to Shen Yichen when he first met him, and the two were full of pride at that time and regarded him as a confidant.

But I don't know when I started to be a little more estranged, and getting along became a little strange and polite.

"Yu Shaobao doesn't need to say much, maybe I have changed, but one thing has never changed."

Shen Yichen turned around slowly, looked directly into Yu Qian's eyes, and said in a firm tone: "When will my husband be born?" An can hang his wings! ”

This is the first time Shen Yichen left Beijing, and what Qian said translates to mean that how much time can a husband have in the world, how can he walk slowly and cringe?

Now this sentence is once again said to Qian, that is, he wants to express that he still takes his family and country as his own responsibility, and will not cower because of the evaluation of the outside world. The same sentence also told Yu Qian that he didn't care about his relationship, let alone explain why he seconded the court to impeach.

Because Shen Yichen always believed that Yu Qian had his own reasons for doing this, out of public righteousness, not for favoritism!

If you don't even have this trust, then the two sides will not become like-minded!

Hearing Shen Yichen say this sentence again, a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of Yu Qian's mouth.

In a sense, character determines fate, and Yu Qian's uprightness leads to his situation in the court being far more lonely than Shen Yichen.

At least Shen Yichen still has a group of like-minded people such as Shang Shi, Xiao Yi, Yue Zheng, He Wendao, etc., a group of brothers who share life and death such as Li Da, Zhang Qi, Zhao Hongjie, etc., and a group of subordinates who are willing to die for Li Zhan, Han Bin, Meng Da, Wu Dong, etc.

But Yu Qian had nothing, even Shen Yichen, who he once trusted, had changed, and became a completely lonely brave man in the court.

But now Yu Qian understands that it has become this world, but it is not Shen Yichen. He still hasn't forgotten his original intention, maybe it's different from the way he chose, but the two want to go to the same end.

Create a peaceful and prosperous world!

"Shen Yuanfu, go slowly."

A thousand words were speechless in his heart, but after all, it turned into a slow sentence, and Yu Qian understood that he didn't need to say much.

"Farewell."

Shen Yichen gave up his hand again, then turned around and strode away from the yamen of the military department, his back was extremely free.

But in fact, Shen Yichen's positive expression revealed a trace of pain at this moment, because he came with the military situation in Liaodong, and Datong sent by Dingxiang Bo Guo Deng did not receive news at night.

When the Tartars also retreated first, Yu Qian's only son Yu Mian received an order to pursue, and the lone army went deep into the grassland and encountered an ambush, and was cut off by several knives in his body.

The good guys were still pointed at guns after all.
