The news of the reconquest of Liaodong once again caused a sensation throughout the country.

In any case, this is certainly a good thing to celebrate with the whole world.

But in the eyes of some people, it is nothing.

Why?

How many earth-shattering things have you done since Your Majesty succeeded to the throne?

Recovering Liaodong?

Is it hard?

Isn't it sooner or later?

Unbelief?

Look at the concrete roads.

You look at how many big trains from Beijing to Tianjin run a day.

Look at the new steel mills.

Not to mention those new weapons on the battlefield.

Have you seen any of these things before? Not really. Neither do we. It was all made up by His Majesty the Emperor.

But their great majesty was worried at this time.

Liaodong is fighting back, but another problem has arisen.

No one, it turns out that millions of people in Liaodong are fleeing from death.

Large tracts of land have been abandoned, resulting in large tracts of land now empty and uncultivated.

Zhu Youzhen was so angry when he thought of this, Nurhachi, a dog's day, you died early.

"Companion Wang, summon a few ministers to meet me."

"Yes!"

Wang Chengen saw that he was in a bad mood, and cautiously agreed and walked out.

Soon after, all five ministers were present.

"Ladies and gentlemen, presumably you already know about the recovery of Liaodong, right?"

"When the minister heard about this yesterday, he didn't sleep all night with excitement. Your Majesty is majestic and strategic, and the imperial pole has only been four years, and the land of Liaodong has been restored! Congratulations to Your Majesty! Congratulations to the people of the Ming Dynasty! ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen's voice fell, Fan Jingwen began to sing praises, his words were earnest, and his voice was loud.

Seeing this, several other people were not to be outdone, and they all filmed at Zhu Youzhen.

Zhu Youzhen was the emperor for several years, and he was also immune to these. Quietly listening to them play, he whispered:

"Finished? Let's get down to business. At present, although the whole territory of Liaodong has been recovered, how to govern it next is a big problem. The biggest problem at the moment is the small population of Liaodong. Let's talk about it, what should we do next? ”

Several people fell into deep thought when they heard this.

Lu Zhenfei, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, was the first to say:

In the humble opinion of the ministers, after Nurhachi captured Liaodong, he slaughtered the people of Liaodong, causing many people to flee from Liaodong. At present, notices can be posted in various places to encourage the aborigines to return to Liaodong, and the government will distribute land, cattle and farming implements in a unified manner. I think it can play a big role. ”

"See white, you said lightly! It's good to say that the whole piece is empty there. But where did this ploughing ox come from? Where do farming tools come from? Where does the money come from? In my opinion, this method will not work. Unless Your Majesty has silver. As soon as Lu Zhenfei's words were finished, Bi Ziyan took over the conversation, and as he spoke, Zhu Youzhen felt that something was wrong.

Why are you coming at me? I don't have the money and you don't know yet?

"Can the household squeeze out some silver right now?"

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's difficult."

Yes, ask in vain!

This Bi Laokou has settled on my money.

"Lu Qing's idea is good and can be promoted. But I don't think it's going to be anything significant in a short period of time. Is there anything better to do it? ”

"What if it's tax-free?" Fan Jingwen said tentatively.

"Tax exemption is okay, how long does Fan Qing think it is appropriate?"

"At least three years."

"That's what to do. In addition, I plan to separate Liaodong and set up the Liaoning Political Division. Ni Yuanlu was promoted to the governor of Liaoning, and Zhu Kezhen was promoted to the commander-in-chief of Liaoning. Do you have any comments? ”

Several people were silent, each with their own thoughts.

Why do you notify us every time you make a decision, and you have to make a gesture of discussing with us? Do we dare to refute?

Zhu Kezhen said that he was a cadet of the first phase of the military academy and a student of His Majesty. It's not uncommon to be promoted quickly.

But this Ni Yuanlu is young, when did he break into His Majesty's eyes?

"The minister has no opinion." Fan Jingwen replied.

"The minister has no opinion."

What else to say at this time. But then Zhu Youzhen's words made them think carefully and lively.

"Liaoning is in ruins, and officials at all levels need to be appointed. A few of you go back and think about it, and if you have the talents to be surveyed, please submit them. ”

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

Whether you slap or not, you have to give some dates to eat from time to time. Otherwise, it requires not only honesty and integrity, but also the ability to govern the country. It's hard for people to do things for you with the little money you send.

Several people happily walked out of the Qianqing Palace. Your Majesty's meaning is clear. Let them recommend talent.

That's a lot of talent.

Who to refer?

Who doesn't have a relative or friend, a fellow classmate.

The news of the establishment of the Liaoning Political Department by the imperial court once again caused a shock in the court, and for many, it represented an opportunity. Opportunity to be an official.

All of a sudden, some of the people with lively minds began to move around. The threshold of several cabinet ministers was almost broken.

Zhu Youzhen naturally received a report on this matter, but he ignored it.

It's human nature.

Let's talk about whether it's good or not.

He was summoning Ni Yuanlu.

Ni Yuanlu has thirty and six, looks well-maintained, and is very young.

Strictly speaking, he and Zhu Youzhen are also friends, but the place where he hanged himself was farther away when Li Zicheng broke through the capital.

So this is a loyal man.

This is also the primary reason why Zhu Youzhen intends to use him.

In fact, regarding the first choice for the governor of Liaoning, the first thing he thought of was Sun Chengzong. This is a very prestigious person, although he is not very good at fighting, but he is a good hand in infrastructure construction.

But the Donglin mark on his body is too obvious, and the generals of Liaodong are more or less implicated in him.

He eventually gave up on the idea, and it was better not to make trouble for himself.

Ni Yuanlu stood in front of Zhu Youzhen with his hands down a little apprehensively, he actually didn't know why His Majesty suddenly summoned him. Doesn't seem like I've done anything out of the ordinary?

"I plan to set up a Liaoning political secretary, has Ni Qing heard about it?"

"Your Majesty, the minister has heard a little."

"I intend to appoint you governor of Liaoning. Administer this newly established province on my behalf. ”

When Ni Yuanlu heard this, he was a little stunned.

How did you become a feudal official?

"The minister is afraid, how can the minister be virtuous, how can he take on such a big responsibility!"

"You don't have to be humble, I can do it, I can do it, and I can't do it." Zhu Youzhen waved his hand to stop Ni Yuanlu's modesty. "However, this governor is not so easy to do, and now that Liaodong is sparsely populated, I have consulted with several ministers to recruit farmers from all over the country. Your first priority will be the resettlement of immigrants. What are your different views on this matter? ”

Hearing Zhu Youzhen's question, Ni Yuanlu knew that the time had come to test himself. He looked down and thought for a while, then looked up and said aloud:

"Your Majesty, at the beginning of Liaoning, I'm afraid the recruitment effect will not be too good. There are two reasons for this:

First, Jiannu has been a disaster in Liaoning for decades, and the people have long been afraid of them in their hearts, and they may not dare to move over.

Second, the bitter cold in Liaoning, coupled with the unusually cold weather in recent years, may also become an important willingness of the people who are reluctant to move. ”

What Ni Yuanlu said is very reasonable, and Zhu Youzhen also took this into account.

"I've thought about it, but there's no better way to do it right now. Ni Qing's burden is very heavy, no matter how many people can move over, as long as they can live a good life, there will be a steady stream of people who are willing to move over. I also have some other arrangements, Ni Qing can tell me if he encounters any difficulties, and I will fully support them. Next, you and I will work together to do a good job in Liaoning. Restore the prosperity of the past! ”

"Yes! The ministers should do their best. ”

"In addition, I plan to implement a new policy in Liaoning."

The two discussed some details of governing Liaoning, and Zhu Youzhen let him leave.

After Ni Yuanlu left, Zhu Youzhen called Fang Zhenghua.

"How's the newspaper doing?"

"Long live, everything is fine."

Zhu Youzhen nodded in approval.

"The newspaper errand, you find someone to hand it over!"

"Slaves and maids will die, and they will live up to Your Majesty's grace." As soon as Zhu Youzhen's words were recorded, Fang Zhenghua knelt down and bowed his head and whimpered.

"What do you think!? Now it's up to you to do more important errands! ”

Fang Zhenghua then turned his worries into joy, and kowtowed again:

"I can share the worries for Your Majesty, and the slave is willing to go to the soup and die without giving up!"

"You don't have to die. I have set up a new Liaoning political secretary, and I intend to build a steel plant in Liaoning, and I intend to put you in charge at this time. Don't be in a hurry to kowtow! It's not a trivial matter, if you don't do it well, I want your head! ”

Zhu Youzhen stopped Fang Zhenghua, and his voice became a little serious.

This matter is indeed not trivial, and he intends to establish the Anmoto Iron and Steel Group.

Needless to say, the importance of the Anben steel base is needless to say, and in the future, if we want to build infrastructure, the steel production capacity must keep up.

Anshan and Benxi have nearly 10 billion tons of iron ore reserves.

Moreover, Liaoning not only has iron mines, but also coal mines.

If there is iron and coal, steel can be made.

Mining needs people, coal mining needs people, and steelmaking needs people.

So you have to recruit people.
