"I said at the beginning that this group of people couldn't let go of ......"

"Come on, you thought I was too involved."

In the Wuying Hall in September, Zhu Di looked at the notes handed over by the Yunnan political envoy, and constantly commented on the evaluation that he once did not exist.

Faced with the old man's words, Zhu Gaoxu did not hesitate to choose to expose them.

"What are you going to do about this?"

Seeing that he was exposed, Zhu Di asked Zhu Gaochu without a red face and a heartbeat, and Zhu Gaochu also said when he heard this:

"I'm worried that the migrating population from Jiangnan will not be able to adapt to the car, but now I can take advantage of this opportunity to do something special in Yongchang Mansion, Dali Mansion, and Longchuan Mansion."

Among them, Xifan is undoubtedly one of the main sources of riding horses and pulling horses, and more than 80,000 horses are continuously transported to the interior every year.

"Shi Heng has arrested quite a few people this time, you see...... Thirty years old, this guy ......"

"When the contradictions are transferred outward, they naturally can't make trouble, in the final analysis, the population is too small and the market is too big."

In the long run, Siam and Gan Xiaozhi put the direction of the struggle on Kunlun Continent.

The soldiers and horses of the Ming Dynasty overseas are usually stationed for three years to change their guards, but if they make mistakes during this period, they will be extended, and if they make mistakes three times, they will be disarmed.

From afar, the team saw Beizhou City standing on the Beizhou River.

"However, with such a growth rate of indigenous people, I am afraid that we will need more and more food, and I am afraid that we will not be able to supply it by relying on the three countries of Dongzhou in the south alone."

"Hami, I heard that the pumping machine has arrived, how is the situation?"

"Compared to the previous few thousand, the number of prisoners is getting smaller and smaller."

Tang Min complained, then turned around and walked off the road and came to the neat and orderly Beizhou City.

Zhu Di's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't want to give up such a large piece of territory, not to mention that there was gold, silver and various minerals in this land.

Zhu Gaoxu accurately said the three needs of various countries, and this is what countries are most eager to do now.

However, as long as the Ming Dynasty exists, they don't dare to do things on the waterway and the mainland.

Despite being implicated, as long as he can get into the army, then he has a way to climb up.

"Tongzhi, is there anything wrong?" The military attache asked cautiously, but Tang Min said:

"The countries came to pay tribute this time, and it is estimated that they also hope that the imperial court can build an officialdom or a thousand households in the hemp woodland, and at the same time increase the transportation of materials and reduce the price of antimalarial powder."

In this regard, Zhu Gaoxu picked up the teacup and moistened his throat, and then said:

"Ping An has people built qanats with cement in all directions, and with the help of water pumps, many fragile grasslands can be irrigated by water conservancy and turned into arable land."

"I plan to relocate them to Guangxi, Huguang and Guangdong, at least one million people."

"Since you think it's okay to do this, just do what you want, as long as the money and food are sufficient, and don't add miscellaneous items to cause the people to live in misery."

"It will take at least three months to transport this book back to the capital, so the number you need to fill in is not the current one, but three months from now."

As far as Zhu Gaoxu knew, they had fought twelve battles in Kunlun Continent, and although the scale was not large, there were not many dead and wounded.

"Okay, after the modification, let the fleet take it directly to the Dongzhou Xuanwei Division, and they will bring it back to the capital."

"Not much." Zhu Gaoxu said:

"The officialdom of maintaining the Mu Gu Du Shu is to facilitate access to the Ma Woodland, and the Xuanwei Division of Kunlun Continent is to see that merchants from various countries will not go to Dongzhou to disturb the interests of the imperial court in Dongzhou."

Although it is already September, the west coast of North Island is still slightly warmer.

Tang Min himself didn't care about this, if these soldiers could stay and take root in Beizhou, then he would like to see it.

"These 6,000 people can maintain the taxes and law and order of the entire Western Sect, and although it costs more than 600,000 yuan of military expenditure every year, the stability brought to the imperial court is far more than 600,000 yuan."

Shi Heng doesn't need women and children, and he will choose to stay unless he meets a good-looking woman.

Although Zhu Di also knew that horse politics was important, the cost of the West was not small after all, and there was almost no local output except for horses.

When he opened his bedroom, there were five or six girls lying horizontally and vertically, and the spring was shining.

"In addition, since Gansu has already set up a government, I want to further set up three divisions to govern Zhangye County, the capital of Ganzhou."

Tang Min glanced back at the military officer, and when the military official heard this, he flattered and said, "It's a little bit of the brother's heart." ”

"Now it seems that the cake in Kunlun is enough for them to eat for many years, and the local manpower is also very abundant."

Zhu Gaoxu said this, Zhu Di nodded when he heard this: "This is okay, even if you migrate a million people, I am afraid it will cost no less than two or three million." ”

"What happened to Ceylon and the Old Port and Luzon?"

"As long as there is a ration of cattle, about 30,000 people can be migrated to slowly reclaim Hami and the northern part of the East Tianshan Mountains."

"It's useless to be envious, you don't dare to play with your life as much as him."

He wants to save money to atone for his sins, and at the same time, he has to save money to return to Daming to operate.

"At this rate, they will be able to capture at least 50,000 or 60,000 people in a year, including more than 40,000 people now...... By this time next year, the Propaganda Division will be able to open up at least 100,000 acres of cultivated land. ”

Although all countries have fleets, the combined capacity of their fleets is only a hundred thousand stones.

"Huang Jing, guard your post well, if you let people go, don't want Tian this year."

These slaves and armies consume seven or eight hundred thousand stone of grain every year, and with their fleet, they can meet at most two-thirds of them a year, and the remaining one-third still needs to be solved by the Ming Dynasty.

"Not to mention anything else, last year's anti-malaria powder alone made a profit of more than 7,000 taels of gold, which shows the extent to which malaria is raging in the local area."

"Japan sent more than 6,000 people to Kunlun and took prisoners from countries such as Korea and Siam, and the situation there was not very good."

For the natives captured by the immigrants, they will register the number, so the young people will bring these hundreds of aborigines to Beizhou City.

The reason why Shi Heng dared to arrest the natives at a young age was because the natives were resources here.

Because of this, Zhu Gaoxu began the method of internal migration of young people in Gansu and Han people in the interior to Gansu very early.

It doesn't seem like a lot, but in Beizhou, which is starting from scratch, it is not easy to save 200 stone of grain.

"The Han family population in these three prefectures is more than 400,000, and if 100,000 of them can be relocated to the three prefectures of Cheli, Zhenkang, and Zhenyuan, it will just save a lot of trouble."

He asked about Hami, and the main reason was that he didn't think there was enough water in the desert Gobi.

"Hmm" Tang Min answered, but frowned after just a glance.

"There is so much gold and silver in Kunlun Continent?"

"There are more than 30,000 Hankou in Ceylon, more than 400,000 in the Old Port, and nearly 300,000 in Luzon." Zhu explained:

"Counting the local natives, there are almost more than 800,000 in Ceylon, more than 1.1 million in the Old Port, and more than 400,000 in Luzon."

"Besides, it's better to put their energy on Kunlun Continent than for them to focus on Central Continent."

"Wende, you're back!"

If 80,000 horses could be obtained at such a low price at the end of the Ming Dynasty, then they would not lose in mobility in every battle.

The young man glanced at him, and then led the hundreds of natives to the south.

Today, there are more than 1.7 million people in Gansu, of which nearly 1.16 million are Han people, most of whom are Han people from Shanxi and Shaanxi.

Because of this, many people are cautious and rarely interact with immigrants.

"Wu Sizang's soldiers and horses, although you have transferred a lot of internal transfers, you still have more than 6,000 troops stationed now, is this too much?"

Although Dongzhou and Beizhou have not experienced a major drought, there are still droughts in the local area.

"Migration of 30,000 ......"

If the Ming can expand their transportation, then they can also invest more troops, drive more slaves, and get more gold.

There are also certain amnesties for people like them, such as saving up enough money for 100 yuan to go home.

The circumference of the city is six miles, the height of the city is two zhang, the thickness is one zhang and eight, it is made of stone blocks and concrete barriers, 3,600 musketeers and artillerymen are stationed in the city, and 2,000 cavalry are cruising outside the city.

Tang Min pointed something, and the military attache hurriedly nodded: "Understood, understood!" ”

Although the Ming helped them improve their irrigation and water conservancy facilities, their grain production did not increase as fast as they could grow.

"Kunlun Zhou?" After all, Zhu Di is a rare emperor from the perspective of the ocean, so as soon as Zhu Gaoxu opened his mouth, he put the common interests of all countries on the table.

Tang Min touched his short beard and couldn't help asking, "How long have they been out this time?" ”

"Although it is not obvious at the moment, I am afraid that the conflict between North Korea and Japan will intensify in the future."

"There is a huge salt lake in Yiwu County, and if we don't occupy this salt lake, we will occupy it for others, and holding it in our hands can reduce many problems."

As Japan also joined the Kunlun Nuggets movement, the local population and slave numbers increased, and the price of food increased.

The Beizhou Propaganda Department was stationed by the Beizhou Guard, with a strength of 5,600 troops, and the Propaganda Envoy should have been Zhang Chun, but because Zhang Chun was transferred to counterinsurgency, he had not yet taken office, so the affairs of the Beizhou Department were all in charge of Tang Min, the Tongzhi of the Propaganda Department.

Facts have proven that perennial military management can only maintain stability, but cannot develop.

A row of villages to the east of Beizhou City was the residence of these immigrants, and Shi Heng took hundreds of slaves to the village after registering them.

As of the thirtieth month of the sixteenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty had more than 400,000 military horses, more than 700,000 horses, and millions of horses.

After 17 years of development, the Ma Zheng of the Ming Dynasty has reached a height that is difficult to reach in all dynasties.

There were not many ways to save money in this land, except to mine gold and silver mines, or to cultivate the land and sell food.

In this way, he has amassed more than 200 slaves and has cultivated hundreds of acres of arable land.

"Last year alone, the people of Xifan moved inward several times, and there are still more than 420,000 people, according to five households and one horse, the local area can send more than 84,000 horses to the imperial court every year, and the imperial court only needs to pay 8,400 tons of dry tea."

"It's a pity that the cost of transporting grain from Japan is too high, otherwise we wouldn't be so embarrassed."

Shaking his head, Tang Min turned over and went to the yamen of the Xuanfu Division.

There, these natives would be distributed, and his result this time was thirty young men, and twenty women and children.

"Think about it yourself, how long has it been peaceful for this group of subject countries around Daming?"

Zhu Di groaned and stroked his beard: "There are so many people in Gua, Sha and Suzhou, but after migration, they have to migrate from Ganzhou, Liangzhou, Wuwei and other places." ”

After an explanation, Tang Min turned around and walked into the depths of the yamen.

"The grassland of Hami can be reclaimed more than 400,000 acres of cultivated land, and in addition, it is safe and sparse, and the imperial court is invited to build a city in the grassland in the northern part of the East Tianshan Mountains."

"The development speed of these places is not slow, although it is unlikely that the imperial court will take the lead in the local steam engine, but they have mastered concrete and other technologies, and the local architecture is no different from the Central Plains."

After the population increased, one or two pieces of gold and one serving of antimalarial powder became extraordinarily expensive.

Therefore, they came this time mainly with such a purpose, and Daming must take countermeasures.

"That way, the one above will be happy, you know?"

"Do you really want them to continue to expand their territory in Kunlun Continent?"

More than ten miles ahead is the sea, and the coastal plain is filled with a large number of natives dressed in simple coarse linen clothes.

"In the document of the Manraka Customs last year, merchant ships from various countries paid a total of more than 224,000 yuan in taxes, of which more than 60,000 yuan were normal commercial taxes, and the rest were basically gold and silver and other commercial taxes."

Seeing him go away, the military attache wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, took the document and turned to leave.

Zhu Di was greedy for cakes from all over the world, looking at his appearance, Zhu Gaochu nodded and explained:

In the midst of shouts of killing, a group of Han people wearing armor are chasing and killing the natives in the mountains and forests.

"In other words, the amount of gold and silver they get from Kunlun Continent every year is about 1.8 million yuan."

When Zhu Gaoxu retreated, the Beizhou Propaganda Division they discussed was also expanding rapidly.

Thinking of this, his eyes revealed ambition.

After Zhu Gaoxu explained, Zhu Di didn't have too many problems, just let him watch it himself, and then motioned for him to retreat.

Compared with these two, Zhu Gaoxu is more worried about North Korea and Japan.

Zhu Gaoxu roughly explained, and then turned his perspective overseas.

Armed with farm tools, they kept clearing the wasteland in the fields, and they were supervised by a large number of Han Chinese cavalry in armor, and at a glance there were no less than hundreds.

"Kill!!"

Corresponding to the fleet were their hundreds of thousands of slaves and tens of thousands of troops in Central Africa.

"Tongzhi, this is the "Yellow Book" and "Fish Scale Atlas" of the Xuanwei Division, please read it."

As a small flag officer of the capture team, he was able to obtain a tenth of the population with each capture.

A voice rang out, and a thin man in his early twenties rode up and spoke flatteringly to the young man.

"Therefore, I am going to set up Hami County in Hami and Yiwu County in the northern part of the East Tianshan Mountains, which will be controlled by Hami and placed in Hami Province."

In addition to the occasional friction between Japan and Korea, the southern countries of Champang, Gan Pozhi, Siam, Da Ni, Manchuria, Majapahit, and Aceh Sumatra have been honest for a long time.

Among them, many people have obtained women from outside the city through various means, so there are not a few women on the street.

In addition to Shi Heng, the other teams also brought back a lot of natives, and this trip, at least one or two thousand natives were captured, of which more than half were strong laborers.

This is still the situation of horse farms exclusively for the army, and if you count the civilian ones, the number of horses in the Ming Dynasty will be even more.

Zhu Gaoxu lightly said the cake situation of various countries in Kunlun Continent, and this is only the statistics of the Ming Dynasty, if you count the smuggling, I am afraid it is even more than this.

Not long after, when he returned to the Yamen of the Xuanwei Division, many military attachés who had been waiting early also handed in a booklet.

"About seven days." The military officer standing aside answered Tang Min's question, and Tang Min nodded when he heard this:

It's a pity that this group of soldiers will return to Daming with this group of people in the end, and only a very few people can stay.

The price of these more than 80,000 horses is only 600,000 guan and 8,400 tons of dry tea.

Having said this, Zhu Gaoxu didn't continue to speak, and Zhu Di asked when he heard this: "What is the situation in Beizhou, your Beizhou Propaganda Division, is sure it can become a supply point?" ”

Under such circumstances, coupled with the help of the pumping machine for agricultural irrigation, Zhu Gaoxu also felt that it was time to set up three divisions for Gansu.

The young man's name is Shi Heng, and he is not a Jianwen minister, but Beizhou, who was implicated in his father's corruption and exiled.

"I've studied Usizang these days, and according to the Daming sand table you gave, this Usizang is indeed very important to the imperial court, but the most important thing is the Duogan region."

The courtyards of the houses inside are neatly aligned, and each courtyard represents a small flag.

"However, for the army, if the grassland in the northern part of the East Tianshan Mountains is developed into cultivated land, it can provide more than 200,000 mu of cultivated land."

Zhu Gaoxu asked Zhu Di, and Zhu Di found out that the subject countries had been peaceful for several years.

Huang Jing was taught by young people, and he could only leave in a huff.

"Anyway, the gold and silver will eventually flow into the court through trade, so why should my father care?"

This scene was clearly seen by Tang Min at the head of Beizhou City with a telescope, and he saw these mainly to understand the situation of the surrounding natives.

The deterrent power of the Ming Dynasty is self-evident, Siam and Gan Xiaozhi are not without friction, but every time there is friction, Jiang Gui of Luzon will take the fleet to patrol the mainland waters of the two countries and prevent them from fighting among themselves.

"These places are big enough to accommodate millions of people, and the farther south is Nanzhou, which can accommodate millions of people."

In Beizhou, the price of one stone of grain is 500 wen, which means that as long as you save enough 200 stone of grain, you can atone for your sins and go home.

"It can be, but it's not as convenient as Nanyang, the storms in the Daming Ocean are much more frequent than in the Nanyang, and with the current technology, it is very risky to want to migrate the people."

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Di talked about the situation in Hami, and the appearance of the pumping machine undoubtedly made Daming no longer need to worry about the scarcity of arable land in the Western Regions.

"There are a lot, but it is not easy to develop there, and most of the gold and silver they earn also enter the pockets of the imperial court in the form of trade."

"I will make adjustments to the development of the local area, in short, although the local area is a burden from an economic point of view, it is of great help to the Ming Dynasty both militarily and politically."

In order to govern immigration, Tang Min set up a temporary yamen outside Beizhou City, which was specifically responsible for immigration.

"I can't bear the child's wolf, two or three million yuan, and the flowers will be spent." Zhu Gaoxu chuckled, and Zhu Di could only shake his head helplessly when he saw this.

"In the future, if there is a disaster along the coast, people can be relocated to these places, which can not only solve the problem of insufficient overseas population, but also solve the problem of internal contradictions, killing two birds with one stone."

"In addition, there are also reasons why the imperial court is maintaining peace in the shipping lanes and regions."

Under the circumstance that Dongzhou and Beizhou and even the entire Nanyang and Oriental trade were monopolized by the Ming Dynasty, Kunlun Continent seemed to have become the last habitat of the vassal states under the command of the Ming Dynasty, or a paradise for their revelry.

"I have thought about it carefully, it is good to build a city in the north of the East Tianshan Mountains, although there are obstacles in the Tianshan Mountains, and the two places need to make a detour of more than 300 miles to communicate."

Zhu Di instructed Zhu Gaoxu, and Zhu Gaochu also bowed his head to express his understanding.

"From this point alone, Xifan has become the largest horse supply place for the imperial court except for Liaodong, Bohai, and Daning, and it must not be given up."

Zhu Gaoxu put forward his own idea, the entire Ming Dynasty because Gansu had fewer people and fewer Han people, so Gansu usually existed as the capital of Shaanxi, and was under military management all year round.

Under his native language, many natives laid down their sticks and spears and surrendered.

"But this is beneficial to the imperial court, the more fierce they fight, the more convenient it is for the imperial court to control them."

Zhu Gaoxu commented on the relationship between the two countries, but Zhu Di turned his attention to the maps of Ceylon, the Old Port and Luzon and other Ming dynasties.

"Nature." Zhu Gaoxu bowed, and then continued: "Now that there are pumps, groundwater can be utilized, so I want to transfer pumps to Yijinai (Ejinaqi) City and develop the local area reasonably." ”

Among them, a young man in his early twenties rode a horse and held a bow, and after shooting several natives in succession, he began to shout the local dialect of surrender.

Except for the Mu clan, which mined gold in the Qamdo area and handed over more than 1,000 taels to the imperial court every year, the imperial court hardly received any gold, silver and copper coins.

The dozens of Han Chinese cavalry drove them to the west, and after several days, they finally made their way through the mountains and forests to an open area.

"However, the number of white-clothed (Dai people) in Sanfu is nearly two million, and they must migrate."

Beizhouwei did not go out to conquer the Quartet, but stationed within a radius of fifty miles from Beizhou City.

However, a few dozen Han Chinese in armor captured nearly 300 natives, and their tribes were also captured.

Also when he left, Tang Min also returned to his small courtyard.

After a short time, the young men led the group south, and soon they came across a wide river, which they called the North Island River (Sacramento River), on which the city of North Island was built.

"Drive! ...... driving"

Standing in the square of the village, Shi Heng took away thirty prime-aged people, and then took a dozen of his chosen family members back to his home.

"This amount of money is enough to build hundreds of miles of railway."

"Who sent this?"

Tang Min had to make the Beizhou Propaganda Mission in the shortest possible time while being self-sufficient, and supply the Dongzhou Propaganda Mission to the south.

"Many of the countries that paid tribute this time came quickly, did my father think about what the reason was?"

"Got it, let's not take it as an example." Tang Min did not refuse, and the military officials hurriedly walked out of the bedroom and closed the door when they saw this.

After a while, there was a beautiful sound inside, and Tang Min, who was bent on attacking the lord, couldn't avoid this gentle country......
