The task of developing Liaoning is arduous, but the results are certainly gratifying.

As soon as the announcement of the relocation of the imperial court organization was posted, it attracted the attention of countless people.

As long as you move a place, you will have your own field and your own house. Although the conditions are difficult, I don't have to pay taxes for three years. No matter what, it's better than being a tenant to a landlord, right?

Among these people who intend to migrate, Shandong is the largest.

From a military point of view, the former Liaodong Metropolitan Division was independent of Shandong, and Shandong had no right to dictate the Liaodong Metropolitan Division militarily. However, in civil affairs and justice, Liaodong is officially under the jurisdiction of Shandong.

At present, Zhu Youzhen simply and neatly said that the Liaodong Metropolitan Division was transferred from Shandong, which is enough to prove that the imperial court attaches great importance to this matter.

Many people's minds come alive.

Zhao Si is one of many people who want to emigrate.

He was originally an ordinary farmer in Gaizhouwei, Liaodong, his parents are alive, his children are complete, and a family of six and three generations live in the same house.

Until one day, Nurhachi broke into Liaodong, attacked the city, burned and looted. The imperial court was defeated and retreated, losing a large area of land outside the Guan. In desperation, Zhao Si fled west with his family.

My parents also died on the way to the run.

I finally entered the customs and felt that my family was safe, but I didn't expect to be casually sent by the court officials to a landlord's house near Miyun as a tenant. A family of four huddled into a thatched hut and live a life that is inferior to pigs and dogs every day. Wake up earlier than the chickens and sleep later than the dogs. That's not all, his wife and children have to help the landlord's family. If something goes wrong, he will be beaten and scolded at every turn.

Just because he borrowed two taels of silver from the landlord's family to build two thatched houses that sheltered from the wind and rain.

Unexpectedly, not only did I not return it, but I rolled more and more, and I couldn't pay it back until I died.

Today, he went to the market to help the landlord's family buy carbon, and heard someone talking about the imperial court's recovery of Liaodong and calling on the people of Liao to return to it. He kept an eye on the side and asked a few more questions.

I heard that if you are willing to move back, you will not only be given land, seeds, but also farming tools, and most importantly, you will be exempted from taxes for three years.

His heart was moved.

He wanted to go home.

It's been eight years, and it's been eight years since he fled to Kannai.

Although this level is prosperous, he can't feel the warmth of home at all. I feel like a flower child who asks for food.

His son Zhao Biao reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, but because he was poor, no one wanted to marry him.

The daughter is still young, but she is almost old enough to get married.

When he returned home, he excitedly found his wife, who was collecting firewood.

"I went to the episode today, and I heard people say that the imperial court has sent Liaodong back. Now we are calling on the people to emigrate back. As soon as I go back, I will send the land and build a house! Best of all, it's tax free for the first three years! ”

"Really?"

The wife's face was overjoyed when she heard this, and then she secretly fell down again.

"And what about the money we owe to the Lord's house?"

Listening to his wife's words, the smile on Zhao Si's face froze.

Thirteen taels and six dollars.

It's an account he's owed all these years.

As long as this money is not returned, let alone going back to Liaodong, I will not be able to go anywhere.

Alas...

Zhao Sichang let out a long sigh and didn't speak again. Walk to his two shabby huts. The already arched body looks even more awkward. It was as if all the essence had been drained at once.

This amount of money is only the money for a noble person's meal, but it is enough to crush a family with nothing.

This is not an isolated case like Zhao Si.

Both the local tenants and those who fled from outside the border are essentially the same.

It's just struggling to make ends meet.

Zhao Si lay on the bed and thought about it all night, and felt that it was better to ask the master's house.

Early the next morning he came to the house of the Lord's house.

The surname of the main family is Sun, and he is called Sun Yuanwai.

"Are you saying that you owe me the money first, and move your family to Guanwai to farm?" As if he couldn't believe his ears, Sun Yuanwai's eyes widened and he repeated.

"Yes, sir. I was originally from Liao, and now that I have the opportunity to go back, I want to go back. Don't worry, sir, I will definitely pay back your silver! Zhao Si bowed down and said with a smiling face.

"Fuck you!? I lent you the money with kindness. If you don't pay it back now, you still have to run? Going to Kanwai? The mountains are high and the road is far away, if you die outside again, who will I go to? Or pay it back! Or just farm for me honestly! Sun Yuanwai didn't talk nonsense to Zhao Si anymore, and directly got up and kicked up.

"Master, I will definitely pay it back!" As he spoke, he knelt down and stepped forward to hug Sun Yuanwai's legs. was kicked away by Sun Yuanwai.

"Get out of the way! What is it! ”

Zhao Si was beaten up in Sun Yuanwai's mansion and returned to his home.

No more mention of immigration.

Regarding the matter of immigration, Zhu Youzhen sent Jinyiwei to follow up. Jin Yiwei found that there were no longer a few tenants in such a situation, so he reported it layer by layer and spread it to Zhu Youzhen's ears.

He was also a little helpless when he heard it.

It's a matter of course to repay debts, and you can't give an order to let people not pay back. The impact is too bad.

After thinking about it, he found Fangzhenghua.

"If you are willing to move your family to Liaoning, the debt will be temporarily paid by the steel group. Later, it will be deducted from the salary. ”

"Yes!"

Then he summoned several cabinet ministers and told them what he thought.

No matter who you recommend to Liaoning to be an official.

He had only one request.

Addressing immigration issues.

Each official will be given a three-month probationary period, and those who have performed well in immigration work will continue to be retained, and those who have performed poorly will be dismissed from their posts.

In a word, those who can make achievements have officials to do, and those who can't make achievements go home!

With an order, these people who ran for office couldn't sit still at all. have launched their own relationships to pull people.

Zhu Youzhen turned the Liaoning Political Department into eight prefectures, with prefectures and counties under the prefectures.

Connections among officials at all levels began to come to the fore.

On the other side, the squares are even simpler, and a lot of silver is scattered.

Would you like to go to Liaodong?

Good! How much do you owe!? Ten taels!?

Let's pay it back for you!?

Come and work with me, right? The whole family can go, including food and accommodation! If you can't do it, sign up if you can!

Work is in full swing on both sides.

Another piece of good news came back.

Wang Zheng, who had been to the Tianjin shipyard for more than a year, came back. didn't even enter his own house, so he hurriedly entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, the steamer has been made!"

"What!? So fast? Can you move? Zhu Youzhen looked at Wang Zheng suspiciously, even if there are drawings, you can't be so fast, don't follow the train anymore, you can run without brakes.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't dare to deceive, he can definitely move!"

"Then you go back first, I will go to Tianjin early tomorrow morning to have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Youzhen set off for Tianjin with 3,000 soldiers and horses of the Yongwei Battalion.

As the saying goes, the older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are. He didn't dare to run out of the city with just a few people. If you have a family and a mouth, what should you do if you die outside?

What's more, there are also Zhou, Tian, and his son Zhu Cihong with him when he left the palace this time.

Occasionally, eating barbecue and fishing shrimp by the river is very pleasant.

As for whether anyone chews the root of the tongue.

Fuck it.

He doesn't care.

After a lifetime of fighting, can't you enjoy it?

Then the music, the dance!

Wang Chenen, show off the beer!

Concubine, drink a glass of Penfolds Cabernet Sauvignon for beauty and beauty!

Zhu Youzhen and others went all the way upstream to play in the mountains and rivers, stopping and stopping. It was supposed to take eight or nine days to get there.

Finally, I arrived at the shipyard built in Weibeitang, Tianjin, and saw the steamship built by Wang Zheng.

It was a steam paddle steamer with large wheels with blades on each side.

Zhu Youzhen understood at a glance that the ship was not big, only fifty or sixty meters long and more than ten meters wide.

Most importantly, this is a wooden ship.

Come to think of it, even if there are drawings, steel ships are not something that can be made casually.

However, even the wooden structure is already a big improvement, and the ability to replace manpower with a steam engine means that more cargo or weapons can be loaded. and faster and stronger power, completely free from the dependence on wind power.

A small step for Wang Zheng, a big step for the Ming Navy.

"Can it be started?"

"Yes!"

"Take a lap."

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

As he spoke, he quickly got on board and ordered the sailors to operate.

Woo woo woo~

In the anticipation of many people, the ship moved and slowly sailed into the distance. An hour later, it turned back and docked on the shore.

Wang Zheng ran down from the bed, his face flushed with excitement, shaking his gray beard, staring at Zhu Youzhen with eager eyes and said loudly:

"There is no problem with the sailing of the Liangfu steamship, please give it a name to Your Majesty!"

"Doesn't that have a name?"

"Please atone for your sins, the minister just remembered the train before and accidentally said bald!"

......

Zhu Youjian had a pain in the egg for a while.

You're not a bald mouth, you're going to go down in history!

"Let's call it the royal steamer Liangfu!"
