Because the Ming Dynasty does not need slaves at the moment.

After all, there are still a lot of unemployed people in the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, what the Ming Dynasty needs is farmland, not population.

After these aborigines were exterminated, Li Zicheng ordered these natives to be burned, and then sprinkled the ash soil with white phosphorus and plant ash as the main components produced after burning into the fields, and waited for the Ming officials to bring the people who moved here to divide the fields and cultivate them.

White phosphorus and plant ash are good fertilizers, so they need to be sprinkled on the field.

Because the elements that crops need are phosphorus and potassium.

At this time in the Indochina Peninsula, a coastal area where the Ming army patrolled and stood guard, there were already a group of Han people from Guanzhong who were divided here.

During this period in history, the five-year drought in Shaanxi reached the point of cannibalism, which also directly contributed to the large-scale Shaanxi peasant uprising in the early years of Chongzhen.

In this life, Shaanxi still inevitably has a major drought.

Therefore, the Han people who were migrated by the imperial court and government with the power of the state during this period were mainly the Wugu people in Shaanxi, and there were also many in Guanzhong.

It is conceivable that many years from now, many people here will start to speak with Guanzhong accents.

However, what the people of Guanzhong who moved here did not know was that their fields were taken from the local natives by the imperial court.

But there is no way to do this, if the imperial court wants to solve the problem of overpopulation without slaughtering its own people, it can only slaughter foreigners!

In addition to the people of Guanzhong, the Ming Dynasty also sent many old farmers who were good at growing rice in the south as technicians to teach these Han farmers who migrated from the north to grow rice.

Daming has no shortage of farmers with high agricultural skills, after all, Daming is an agricultural empire with a long accumulation of agricultural technology, and therefore, the crops here grow better than the original crops.

Of course, it may also have something to do with the fact that these soils have become more fertile.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that after the original indigenous forces in these places were eliminated, the grain that these indigenous people had accumulated through cultivation would naturally be directly plundered by the Ming Dynasty and transported back to China.

Therefore, through the grain looted from these local hands and the grain paid by the newly relocated Han people after harvesting, the Ming Dynasty was able to transport a large amount of grain back from Nanyang every year.

Every year, grain ships appear in Guangzhou, Yuegang, Dinghai, Denglai, and Tianjin.

After these grains were transported back to China, they further enriched the granaries of the Ming Dynasty in Tongzhou and other places, as well as the granaries used for military purposes in Jiubian, and the standing warehouses used in various provinces to stabilize prices and provide disaster relief.

In addition, because of the large inflow of grain, the Ming court also added many granaries dedicated to building large-scale projects and large-scale disaster relief.

At this time, Shaanxi added several large granaries under the direct management of the household department, so that the new displaced people due to the drought would not starve to death.

No way, the drought in Shaanxi during this historical period is indeed very serious.

Generally speaking, a two-year drought is considered a major disaster, and it is rare to see more than two years of drought.

But during this period, the Ming Dynasty encountered a five-year drought!

Moreover, according to historical development, there will be locust plagues in Henan, large-scale floods in the Huanghuai region, large-scale famine in the Jiangnan region, and large-scale plague in North China.

Therefore, Chongzhen in history is still quite difficult.

Because according to research, during Chongzhen's reign as emperor in history, there were disasters almost every year.

Therefore, in the history of disasters, there is a professional term called "Chongzhen Abyss".

The conversation turned back.

Therefore, it is impossible for Shaanxi during this period not to break out on a large scale peasant uprising, and it is impossible for hundreds of thousands of displaced people to follow the thieves.

In addition, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty during this period to solve the problems of people's livelihood internally, even if you reform with iron and blood, divide the fields and land, but God does not cooperate, so that your food production will be greatly reduced, and you will not be able to solve the problem of eating for most people.

Even if Tianqi is like Chongzhen, he reduced his share of the emperor's vegetables to only five dishes, and then forced other nobles to follow the frugality.

Fortunately, in this life, under the influence of Zhang Gui, the Ming Dynasty changed the national policy, broke the Confucian moral constraints, and transferred the pressure caused by natural and man-made disasters to the outside.

A large amount of grain resources in the South Seas were added to the country, and after internal reforms, the administrative efficiency and the integrity of the officials were also greatly improved, so it did not lead to a large-scale peasant uprising.

It's just that contradictions within the ruling class still exist.

As an agrarian civilized empire, when most of the country's rulers were feudal landlords, he was still opposed to the transfer of contradictions to the outside world in his bones.

Because it would harm their interests.

A large amount of Nanyang's grain resources were transported back to China, which prevented many people in Shaanxi from selling their children and daughters, and also prevented many people from solving the problem of food and clothing by borrowing usury.

Therefore, the landlords could not take advantage of natural disasters to annex land and enjoy cheap labor.

"O iniquity! Feed the food to the poor! ”

Ma Wenmao, the landlord of Shaanxi, gritted his teeth in anger at this time because he saw the porridge factory under the grain store directly under the Tongguan Guancang distributing the mixed sand and dry porridge to the poor people passing by, and said: "The Shaanxi officials in the court don't know how to stop the shameless behavior of the imperial court in wasting grain!" ”

It's not just the landlords in Shaanxi who are dissatisfied.

The coastal landlords who were involved in smuggling Nanyang grain and speculated on the price of grain were also very dissatisfied with the fact that the Nanyang grain was now being taken back into the country by the imperial court with state power to solve people's livelihood problems.

You must know that these Nanyang grains were originally a resource for them to make a fortune.

In addition, the natives were naturally dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty's brutal way of directly plundering their food and exterminating their population.

But these people are dissatisfied and dissatisfied, and they can't resist the powerful force of the Ming court, so they can only watch the Ming court use national power to forcibly use resources at home and abroad to solve people's livelihood and strengthen national strength.

Although many landlords were dissatisfied with the people, and there were also many indigenous landlords overseas, the Ming court did solve many domestic crises through this way of directly plundering food resources and land resources through trade or indirectly.

Large-scale peasant uprisings were avoided and not mentioned, and many scholars, especially the scholars of the Han family, also had a lot of room for advancement.

After all, the newly occupied land needs a lot of officials to govern, and in addition, many official positions have been increased because of the need to transfer internal contradictions to the outside and transfer external resources to solve internal contradictions, so it directly led to the Ming Dynasty having to repeatedly expand the number of imperial examination scholars.

The benefit of this phenomenon is that although there are voices dissatisfied with the status quo, there are also more and more voices of support, and once this situation is formed, it will be difficult to remove them in the future, because after all, the removal of a large number of officials will be laid off.

The root cause of the Ming court's ability to do so now lies in the continuous supply of advanced firearms by the Department of Industry, so that more people can become well-trained elite soldiers, and organize to plunder and open up.

It's just that if the Industrial Division wants to continuously provide advanced firearms, it needs more resources to provide support for the Industrial Division, such as the iron ore that the Industrial Division urgently needs at present.

If the Apocalypse and his favored retainers want to continue to maintain the operation of the Industrial Division, and then let the army continue to plunder resources outside in an organized manner, and let the bureaucrats continue to organize the newly opened land and the newly relocated people, so that they can settle down and multiply and produce new Han civilization settlements, they must continue to adhere to the current policy of foreign expansion, especially the current real development of the iron ore mines in Maoshan and the return of Xianzhou.

It can also be seen that if the Ming Dynasty wants to use the internal crisis to move the internal crisis outward to achieve the rejuvenation of the country, the imperial court must use the power of the state and forcibly organize it.

It is impossible to expect civil society to have an incentive to push the court to do so.

Why can we only rely on the imperial court to use the power of the state to seize resources from the outside world in an organized manner, and cannot expect the people to take resources from the outside world on their own?
