Chapter 109: Wasteland Fever

The next day, the Yamen of the Ministry of War.

Li Qing instructed, "This time the people of the south moved to the north for a long time, however, this move will harm the interests of the Jiangnan gentry, and there will be some chaos, so you should be more careful." ”

"Xia Guan understands." Yu Qian nodded solemnly, at yesterday's court meeting, he had fully seen the sinister officialdom, and also had a clear understanding of some officials, "Lord Shangshu can rest assured, the lower officials will definitely not let this national policy of benefiting the country and the people be disturbed." ”

Li Qing sighed and said seriously: "While taking care of the national policy, you must also take care of yourself. ”

Yu Qian didn't care, and laughed loudly, "Do they still dare to kill officials?" ”

"Although I don't dare to blatantly move you, I have to guard against it." Li Qing smiled bitterly, "This official has been assassinated twice, they may not dare, but you also have to be careful." ”

Yu Qian was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, "Remember." ”

"This is the specific implementation plan of the national policy, you can take a good look at it." Li Qing took out the middle decree written in bright yellow brocade from his arms, "This thing is no less than the royal flag, with it, no one can suppress you." ”

Yu Qian took it and read it carefully word by word, and after a long time, he put away the central decree, his expression could not hide his excitement, his lips closed for a long time, and he said with emotion:

"Your Majesty!"

In fact, most of the constructive strategies in this are what I mentioned...... Li Qing rolled his eyes, but he didn't compete with Zhu Di, "Prepare well, this business trip will take a few months, or even longer." ”

"Hmm." Yu Qian solemnly took the decree into his arms, and wondered, "Lord Shangshu, since the emperor has such a thorough plan for the benefit of the people, why don't you directly issue the decree and announce it to the world, but instead use the decree?" ”

He didn't understand, "There is hardly any omission in this national policy, and the ministers are unwilling and unable to raise objections." ”

Li Qing smiled: "Naturally, they can't object, but ...... There is a saying: there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below;

When it was announced in advance, it gave those people time to prepare, the gentry had a strong influence in the local area, and the people were simple, and it was easy to be instigated by them;

Let them not be sure of the specific situation, and it will be much easier to implement the national policy when the time comes. ”

Yu Qian nodded silently, such a good national policy could not be implemented with one heart, but had to be sneaky, which made him have mixed feelings in his heart.

At the same time, he is also quite annoyed with those officials who are in high positions but do not do anything, or even drag their feet.

If an official does not make decisions for the people, he simply reads the books of sages in vain!

……

A few days later, more than a dozen medium-sized ships from Liubu Langzhong, Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and Liuke were all given to Shizhong, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang, and headed south along the canal.

Traveling thousands of miles, if you walk on two legs, you don't know how many people will be killed or injured during the migration, and there is no such problem with boats, and it can greatly increase the speed of migration.

After the Beijing officials dispatched, Li Qing, Zhu Di, and Xiaopang began to plan the migration location.

After discussion, it was decided to start with the river. Starting from the north, the delineated locations are all within 100 miles of towns and 50 miles from aboriginal villages.

It will not seriously decouple the people from the towns, and to a certain extent, maintain their independence and let them farm with peace of mind.

The migration of southerners to the north is not something that can be completed overnight, it takes several years or even more than ten years of planning, little by little, in the process, encountering problems, solving problems, and a long stream of water is the right way.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, but Li Qing believes that as long as the migrating people taste the sweetness, the follow-up implementation will be much easier, and even the people will migrate spontaneously.

During the Jin, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, the people migrated to survive, and now the people migrate to live better.

Li Qing sometimes wonders if this can be regarded as changing history.

After coming to Daming for so long, he doesn't seem to have changed much, but he seems to have changed a lot.

He failed to prevent Zhu Yunwen from ascending to the throne, failed to prevent the Battle of Jingyan, and failed to solve the problem of land annexation......

But... He seemed to have changed again.

The first battle of Yuerhai captured the Emperor of the Northern Yuan, so that the Ming and the Northern Yuan had a honeymoon period for a period of time, and the border was peaceful for a long time;

The Battle of Jingjing had his plan, and many people died less;

killed Mahamu, causing a great loss of vitality to Warat;

Potatoes and corn appeared in advance, and with his encouragement, they were quickly promoted, fundamentally solving the problem of food and clothing for the people.

There are also people who are spread into acres, and there are also people from the south who move north......

It doesn't seem to have changed history, but it has really changed.

He doesn't know what the future holds, but at least the current Da Ming is getting better and better.

In the face of tens of millions of Lebanese people and tens of thousands of people with vested interests, officials are intriguing and forming gangs...... In such a complex situation, the power of the individual is too small.

On the recliner, Li Qing was stunned, and couldn't help but think of Dao Yan and the old monk's theory of national fortune.

- The dynasty is only three hundred years old!

Perhaps, maybe the Ming Dynasty will die at that time, but in the process, it can make the people live a better life...... A sense of powerlessness swelled in Li Qing's heart.

Immediately, his eyes became firm again, "It can die, but it can only die in the hands of the Han people, damn it, when it comes, I will slaughter the wild boar skin first." ”

"Sir tea." Wan Ling handed over the tea and smiled.

The beauty is no longer young, and the youngest Wanling has gray hair.

Li Qing raised his hand to take the teacup, took a sip, and said gently, "Why are you so happy today?" ”

"Sir forgot, let's move today." Wan Ling grinned and said, "Everything is ready, let's move over after lunch, shall we?" ”

Li Qing smiled dumbly, shook his head and said, "I actually forgot about this stubble." ”

Stretching his waist, he got up and said, "Let the next person move, go and call the red sleeves and mercy incense, go to the restaurant at noon today, and go back to the new home directly after eating." ”

"yes, okay." Wan Ling smiled and nodded, "The concubine went and called the two sisters." ”

……

After a small rub in the restaurant, the family came to the new Yongqing Hou Mansion.

The new home is smaller than Jinling, but the architectural style has not changed, and the Hou Mansion of Jinling has been restored to a great extent.

In the new home and new atmosphere, Li Qing sent a red envelope to the subordinates, recruited some subordinates, and promoted a housekeeper in the front and back yards to let the three girls worry about it.

Let them enjoy life with peace of mind.

~

The days passed, what Li Qing was worried about did not happen, and the national policy of moving the people from the south to the north went smoothly.

Autumn goes to winter, and the first people to migrate are in the river. The number of people who settled in various parts of the north was not too many, a total of more than 50,000 people.

The imperial court gave money and grain to give the people more incentive to reclaim wasteland, and guaranteed that no matter how much wasteland was opened, the imperial court would provide corresponding seeds, farm tools, and cattle, all free of charge.

The next spring is the season of sowing, and the people are full of energy, and the more arable land they cultivate, the greater the advantage they will take.

Not only does the cultivated land belong to themselves, but it is also exempt from tax for three years, which is such a good thing, and the people naturally do not want to miss it.

Of course, the distribution of ploughing cattle here is not to give ploughing cattle to the people, but to use them during the clearing period.

In an agrarian society, the importance of ploughing cattle is self-evident, and how can it be given away in vain.

But if you can do this, the people will be grateful.

River. The north is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, few officials dare to play tricks, and there are Dongchang Fanzi, Jinyiwei, and the superintendent of the imperial history, all of whom are watching in the matter, and the national policy is implemented very well.

River. The northern wilderness was prevalent, and the imperial court supplied a large number of tools such as ploughing oxen, ploughs, cocoons, harrows, hoes, and pickaxes.

In order to improve the efficiency of land reclamation, the people spontaneously formed teams, in groups of three or five, to pick up stones, hoe weeds, and plough ......

For thousands of years, the people have been living hard, they have long been accustomed to it, they are not afraid of hardship, they are afraid that they will not have the opportunity to endure hardship.

They are more afraid of starvation than they are of hardship.

Especially these migrants, who are all people who have no arable land, have an incomparable desire for arable land.

If you have cultivated land, you will have roots, and there will be hope for the future.

They are very content, cherish this opportunity very much, no one makes trouble, and no one shouts that they are tired.

When winter came, and it snowed, they dug a cave, spread hay, and settled in the cave for a while.

Life is coming, but they don't care at all.

In winter, everything is sluggish, but the river. Here in the north is full of life, they plough the plough, and they sweat like rain.

It is bitter to open up the wasteland, but their hearts are sweet......

Li Qing took the time to take a look, and he was deeply touched by the longing for the future on the faces of the people.
