Just the fact that there are 50 more hidden households is a big deal, and it was expected!

It's just that Emperor Chongzhen didn't expect that the household department and Shuntian Mansion would count the population so quickly, and the population of the entire Shuntian Mansion had been counted in less than half a month.

However, Emperor Chongzhen still underestimated the number of hidden and escaped households, or overestimated the efficiency of the Ming court.

Guo Yunhou saw Emperor Chongzhen's expression of indifference, he simply gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, the 190 million five people are only the Dingkou in the capital city, not counting the number of Dingkou in the surrounding counties and villages."

Emperor Chongzhen is really in pain now - there are so many people counted in the capital alone, what about the rest of the place?

Not to mention counting the population of the entire Ming Dynasty, just counting the hermits and escaped households in Beizhili, it is estimated that Xinming Island can be filled?

In other words, will the problem of not enough people turn into a problem of too many people?

Also, these guys really want to take advantage of me!

Before there was no good policy of granting land to immigrants, all these guys had children in their families. Ten or eight of them were called Xiaoer after birth. Now that there is a good policy of giving land, even the ten and eleven come out Come on!

Shaking his head, Emperor Chongzhen shook this seemingly ridiculous idea out of his mind.

There will indeed be a lot more people, and it is not surprising that after this census is completed, it will suddenly be discovered that the population of Ming Dynasty has grown towards [-] million.

If there are too many people, go to war and occupy more territory, won't they be able to support themselves?

Anyway, the census is not a census, the population is the same, but some of them have been added with hidden attributes, so I can't see it-but these people actually exist!

After pondering for a long while, Emperor Chongzhen then continued: "Continue to make the booklets, as soon as Da Ming has a few more mouths, continue to make booklets, and don't let them be revealed."

Guo Yunhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Your Majesty, if there are so many extra places in a short time, if we have to move to the real side, I'm afraid I may not have many places in Ming Dynasty?"

Emperor Chongzhen laughed and said, "If you don't have one, go grab it! What is the purpose of the Ming Dynasty raising millions of soldiers? You can't use their swords to obtain more land for the people of the Ming Dynasty. What use do I need them?"

Your old man is right, as long as you are happy, you can't afford to offend me, so leave!

Guo Yunhou chose to follow the orders of Emperor Chongzhen honestly - he was old, so there was no need to fiddle around, it was only reasonable to follow the emperor's orders honestly.

As for what His Majesty said about sending troops to grab territory, Guo Yunhou said that he hadn't heard anything.

Guo Yunhou left the palace, but Emperor Chongzhen once again set his sights on the map.

I have something I want to say!

The capital city alone has an extra 50 people inexplicably, presumably the city of Nanjing is also like a bird, and so on, in the end, as long as each city has an extra 10 people, Daming will have tens of millions more people!

Then, after careful statistics in each township and county, will you be surprised to find that there are hundreds of millions more people?

Calculated according to the allocation of 100 mu of land per person, these extra people need [-] billion mu of land?

No, the math teacher died too early, I can't figure out how many square kilometers it is equal to such a large number...

Emperor Chongzhen, who thought he had a lot of territory at first, was not enough for the vassal king and the people, suddenly felt that his territory was not enough.

Since it's not enough, and I just boasted that I'm going to grab it, why not take a good look at the map and figure out which site to grab?

After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen simply ordered someone to bring Zhu Chunchen, who had just been rushed back to the capital, and Zhang Zhiji, who had returned to Beijing with him to rest, and others into the palace.

After Zhu Chunchen and others entered the palace to salute, Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the map and said to Zhu Chunchen, "Tell Amin and Mangurtai that Ji Lijisi, Yilibali and Turpan must be taken before Chongzhen 13 years ago. in hand."

Zhu Chunchen asked a little puzzled: "Your Majesty? The Tatars have not been completely pacified at the moment. Wasn't it originally planned to take a temporary rest for two years before launching an offensive?"

Emperor Chongzhen waved his hand and said: "Don't wait, the northern army will take a break and transfer the southern army to the north, so that they can also see blood. In short, time waits for no one."

Zhu Chunchen asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, what happened?"

Emperor Chongzhen returned to his chair and sat down, before he said: "The capital is making a lot of yellow books these days, Duke Cheng knows about it, right?"

Zhu Chunchen bowed and said: "I do know that everyone in the family has already registered and made records, but this matter has nothing to do with attacking Turpan in advance?"

Emperor Chongzhen said: "In the capital alone, in the city, the number of Dingkou in Chongzhen's 12 years has reached 190 million, which is 75 more than that of Tianqi, and 50 more than the last big yellow book."

Zhu Chunchen and others understood the meaning of Emperor Chongzhen almost instantly-there were too many people, and the emperor was worried that the land would not be enough!

After pondering for a long time, Zhu Chunchen felt that the problem of doing so was actually not too big.

After all, it is just to speed up the speed of killing those barbarians. The guards in the north who have been fighting for years can be rested as they should be. It should not be a big problem if they just call the guards in the south to go north.

As for whether the southern army can adapt to the northern environment, or whether it can withstand the rare climate in the south in the past winter, Zhu Chunchen is not too worried.

The foundation of the founding of the Ming Dynasty was to use the southern army to drive the Mongolian Yuan north into Shuomo, so what's the big deal if it happens again?

Even if the guards in the south are more corrupt than those in the north, even if the guards in the south cannot adapt to the cold in the north, so what?

At the very least, the Southern Imperial Forest Army and the guards around Nanzhili have proved in Luzon and Java that they can still fight!

What's more, in winter, the thick cotton padded clothes are allotted, can't you still not get used to it?

After thinking back and forth in his mind, Zhu Chunchen bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qizuo, if you transfer the southern army to the north, you can mobilize the guards in Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan and other places.

First, these places are extremely peaceful now, and there are no combat missions in normal times. Second, it can also allow southern soldiers to adapt to the northern terrain and environment more, and prepare for future battles further north. "

Chongzhen nodded and said: "Where to transfer the soldiers of the guards is up to the governor's office of the five armies. I don't intend to intervene. But I have a request."

Zhu Chunchen bowed and said, "Please give orders, Your Majesty."

Emperor Chongzhen said: "Young army, according to the example of this Northern Expedition to Tatar, anyone over the age of 16 will join the army, so that they can learn a lot from them. When necessary, let them also join the battle."

It has been a few years since the formation of the Young Army. It is time for these children to see what the real battlefield looks like. Only in this way can these children gradually change the military system of Ming Dynasty.

Because Ming's military system is far from perfect!

Zhu Chunchen bowed and said: "I obey the order."

Anyway, the eldest son and the second son of the emperor are still many years away from the age of 16. They don’t need to go into battle, and the remaining young army is relatively indifferent—if the eldest son and the second son of the emperor also go out with the army, Zhu Chunchen asks himself if he has the guts Let them do it themselves.

Zhang Zhiji said, "Your Majesty, please lead the army to Turpan!"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "No, the Beijing Camp, the New Army, Liu Aiqing and Xia Aiqing's troops, and Battelle's troops must stay in the capital to rest.

Three months later, Liu Aiqing and Xia Aiqing led their troops back to Nuergandusi, and Zhang Aiqing and Battelle led their troops to Leshi Grassland to listen to orders. "

Zhang Zhi was very puzzled and asked: "Your Majesty, all the Tatar tribes have been destroyed. As long as the people are moved steadily to the Leshi Grassland, it will be calmed down in three to five years. Why send a large army away?"

Emperor Chongzhen shook his head and said: "Mosi Batur Khan led more than a thousand cavalry to escape, but our [-] fine cavalry suffered nearly [-] casualties!

This loss is huge!My request is very simple, Zhang Aiqing and Bateer lead the troops to look for Mosi Batuer Khan on the Leshi Grassland, find him, and kill him!Give me all the remaining thousand riders to build a capital! "

After Zhang Zhiji and others bowed and responded, Emperor Chongzhen sneered and said, "I have a grudge, and I never like staying overnight!"
