Chapter 426: Instead of forced assimilation, it is better to be subtle
Before he said what he thought was the perfect plan, he was collectively opposed by the ministers, and Zhu Houzhao was somewhat unhappy.
But he also understood that the concerns of the ministers were not unreasonable, if it was a large-scale immigration, the current Taiwu Dynasty really did not have so many people for him to carry out the plan.
"Hoo ......"
With a long breath, Zhu Houzhao showed a smile on his face and said slowly:
"Zhong Aiqing is too worried, and I also know the current population situation of our dynasty, and I have no intention of completing the immigration at one time."
"That's what I think, send a small number of people over first, let them try to associate with the two races, intermarry, and see how it works."
"And then continue to migrate, and at the same time encourage people to have more children, so that the migration plan can be carried out smoothly, and the country will not be chaotic due to the decline of the population."
Yang Yiqing, Yang Tinghe, Fei Hong, Wang Wei, Liang Chu and other ministers glanced at each other and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”
As long as it is not a large number of people removed at once, it is not a big problem, and it is still within their acceptable range.
At this moment, all the ministers breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts and eliminated the worries in their hearts.
After the first war to destroy the two higher civilizations, they were afraid that Zhu Houzhao would become so happy and not listen to persuasion, throughout the ages, there were too many emperors who were arrogant and complacent after making a little achievement.
But fortunately, Zhu Houzhao did not disappoint them, and his mind was still clear and calm.
How did they know that Zhu Houzhao never regarded the six advanced civilizations as his real opponents, let alone be proud of them.
Compared to the supreme beings such as the Ancestral Dragon and the Nine Heavens Xuannu, the six high-level civilizations are not even ants.
While the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, their faces couldn't help twitching slightly, remembering some bad things.
Encouraging more children may sound like nothing special, but when combined with reality, it can't help but feel creepy.
In order to change the sparsely populated situation in Liaodong, Zhu Houzhao used more than a terrifying method.
The convicts who were assigned to Liaodong had to work in the wasteland during the day, and they had to work hard with the savage Jurchens at night, and there were not a few people who died of exhaustion for this.
Therefore, when they heard that Zhu Houzhao wanted to encourage the people of the whole country to have more children, the ministers subconsciously thought of those senior colleagues who worked to death in Liaodong, and their hearts were shocked.
If you want to be ruthless, you have to be your own emperor!
It is not enough to send people to Liaodong and cultivate the land, but also to let them contribute to the population development of Liaodong, working day and night until they are tired to death.
Ruthless, really ruthless!
It is said that Emperor Taizu is ruthless to scholars, and his own emperor is really ruthless, there is a way to kill people and not to nod to the ground, but Zhu Houzhao wants to squeeze all the value of people before allowing him to die.
There is no ploughed land, only tired cattle!
This sentence is known to everyone, and some people have seen the tired cow with their own eyes, but the tired officials, scholars, I am afraid that only the Taiwu Dynasty can see it.
】
"Your Majesty, encouraging the people to have more children is certainly a major means to solve the population shortage, but now the situation is different, and some changes need to be made."
Suppressing the strange feeling in his heart, Yang Yiqing said softly.
"Yang Qing might as well say it directly."
Zhu Houzhao frowned slightly.
"Your Majesty doesn't know that with the great changes in heaven and earth, everyone aspires to pursue a higher martial arts realm, even if it is an ordinary person's family, there are many people who are good martial arts and become obsessed."
"The trend of martial arts among the people is becoming more and more prosperous, which should be a good thing, but how many people are willing to get married and have children if they spend all their energy on martial arts?"
"Therefore, the minister believes that if Your Majesty wants to insist on the implementation of the immigration plan, he should not focus on the people, it is difficult to solve the problem from the source, and the existing population should be utilized."
What Yang Yiqing said seemed to have nothing to do with Zhu Houzhao's immigration plan, but Zhu Houzhao's eyes lit up, and he said impatiently: "It seems that Aiqing has a good plan." ”
"The old minister also said that the folk martial arts are becoming more and more prosperous, and there are more and more folk warriors, and most of them are not willing to be ordinary, and often gang up to explore no man's land."
"Since the folk warriors are very exploratory, why don't the imperial court help and call on the folk warriors to develop and explore the life stars that have just been obtained."
"The imperial court can promise to the outside world that all the resources found will be divided between the imperial court and the folk warriors, so there are two benefits."
"First, the imperial court can use the power of folk warriors to develop resources, which will save a lot of effort."
"Second, it can also invisibly complete His Majesty's immigration plan, and with the passage of time, the two races will be completely assimilated and completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty."
Yang Yiqing said that the head was the Tao, and the more Zhu Houzhao listened, the more he listened, and he already didn't understand Yang Yiqing's specific intentions.
"I can understand this by using the power of folk warriors to explore and develop resources, but what does this have to do with assimilating the two major races?"
Zhu Houzhao was puzzled, his head was full of confusion.
He, the emperor, couldn't understand Yang Yiqing's intentions, and the ministers were even more foggy, and everyone looked at Yang Yiqing with doubts.
Being stared at by the emperor and the ministers, Yang Yiqing did not panic at all, a strange smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Folk warriors go to explore and develop the stars of life, and they are inevitably lonely in a foreign land, who can guarantee that they will not have an extraordinary relationship with people of the two races."
"One or two may not affect anything, but as long as there are more people, the people of the two races have a bond with my Daming, and they will involuntarily lean towards Daming."
"I will give a little favor at the right time, and it is only a matter of time before the two clans are completely reconciled."
"Rather than assimilate hard, it is better to subtle and moisturize things silently, sometimes more useful than swords."
Zhu Houzhao and the ministers were all stunned, they didn't expect Yang Yiqing to be the head of the cabinet, under one person and above ten thousand, to say such obscene words.
Being in a foreign land, it is inevitable to be lonely!
This is what the Cabinet Chief Cabinet should say?
It is also the court that has undergone Zhu Houzhao's several cleanings, and there are a lot fewer trolls, if it is changed to before, or in other dynasties, just these eight words, Yang Yiqing will be sprayed by the officials and envoys.
Whatever insults and what is open-mouthed will be an excuse for the official to impeach and attack Yang Yiqing.
Although Yang Yiqing's words seemed a little obscene, Zhu Houzhao still felt that what he said was very reasonable.
The Ming folk warriors are related to the dragon clan and the elf clan, even if it is just an overnight joy, they can also be written about it, and it can be said to be a model of friendly exchanges between the Ming and the two clans.
The people of the Ming Dynasty have had a good time with the people of the two races, which shows that the Ming Dynasty does not want to enslave the two races, but has the intention to let the two races and the Ming Dynasty become one, and there is too much room for operation.
Moreover, as the friendship between the folk warriors and the people of the two clans occurs, the easier it will be for the two clans to spontaneously approach the Ming Dynasty and integrate into the Ming Dynasty.
As Yang Yiqing said, it is better to be subtle than to force assimilation.
Forced assimilation will always leave hidden dangers, and subtlely, it will reduce the hidden dangers to the lowest level, and after a few hundred years, no one will even remember the dragon civilization and the elven civilization, and will only regard themselves as authentic Ming people.
