……

Any nation has a history passed down from old to old, not only in the Central Plains, but also in Annan monkeys.

According to the legend of the Annan monkeys, Daming once attacked Annan hundreds of years ago, but with the unremitting efforts of the Annan people, the evil Daming was finally driven away, so that later generations can live in this land safely superior.

However, although Daming is evil, at least he knows some rules, such as not killing people casually, for example, as long as he surrenders, he can get food and so on.

It's different now. The soldiers of the Ming army did not kill people casually, but they would use artillery to plow the land; if they surrendered, they could indeed get food, but they had to do boundless labor.

This is different from the legends. The Annan people began to miss their life before the riots, and even remembered the benefits of the previous government.

From the identity of Annan common people to the identity of Daming common people, and then changed back to the identity of Annan common people and became the current captive status, everyone began to regret it.

However, there is no such thing as regret medicine in this world, and it is impossible to go back in time. Except for a very small number of more than 700 million Annan monkeys who escaped into Nanzhang or the mountains bordering Nanzhang, the rest died or died. They were all sold to the Ministry of Railways by the Dudufu of the Five Armies as piggies.

So much so that Hong Chengchou looked a little younger.

What was the most troublesome problem before?

Not material.

In addition to the Ministry of Industry, there is such a freak as Shaofu, and there are countless folk workshops. As long as there is money, what kind of materials cannot be bought?

And what Daming doesn't lack most now is money.

Everyone knows that there is silver in the national treasury and internal funds, and there will be more and more in the future, so there is no need to worry about silver.

The real headache is manpower.

There are about 5000 million people in Daming, and it is actually very simple to pick out [-] to [-] million strong laborers.

However, whether it is building a railway or dredging a river to build a bridge, life is in danger. You can't take the lives of the people of Daming to fill it, right?Obviously there are so many barbarians...

Well now, Annan has been dealt with, and the 500 million Annan people captured will all become laborers. No matter what, there will be more than 100 million strong laborers. Only the Ministry of Railways will slowly consume them, and the speed of railway construction will also be greatly accelerated. .

Hong Chengchou's old face almost turned into a chrysanthemum in September, but Guo Yunhou's old face turned black into ink.

The Annan monkey was sold to the Ministry of Railways as piglets, and the Ministry of Households paid the money from the national treasury to the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion. As for how the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion distributed the money to the soldiers, it had little to do with the Ministry of Household Affairs.

The problem is the people.

In Annan's place, there are some Ming people doing business in the logs, but compared to the entire Annan's land, such a small number of people can't fill a Zhennanwei.

What about the rest of the land?Leave it alone?Emigrate later?

Don't be ridiculous, the grain output there is so high, if you don't hurry to immigrate there and cultivate it, you will have no face to meet the sages after you die!

Then the problem is coming.

It is no problem to want to immigrate, the problem lies in the number of immigrants.

If only [-] to [-] people need to be relocated, it would be easy to handle, but what Annan needs are several million, or even nearly ten million people, where can he get them?

Forced relocation?

Forced relocation of tens of thousands is not a big problem, and 10,000+ people can be forced to relocate, but when the number of people forcibly relocated reaches 500 million, there will be a big problem.

Just like what Emperor Chongzhen said before, any difficulty placed on the [-] million people of the Ming Dynasty is not considered difficult, no matter how small the trouble is placed on the [-] million people, it is a big trouble .

Forced relocation of 500 million people will involve almost 2000 million relatives behind them, accounting for almost one-tenth of the total population of the Ming Dynasty. This is no longer a big trouble, it will destabilize the country. Horrible question!

Guo Yunhou felt that his hair was about to fall out because of worry-the problem is, even if Guo Yunhou becomes bald now, he may not be able to become stronger.

However, the development of the matter was beyond Guo Yunhou's expectations, and the people were very active about this immigration action.

After mobilizing the feedback from various local governments, and asking Emperor Chongzhen for information on Jin Yiwei, Guo Yunhou realized that he had overcomplicated the matter of immigration.

Originally, Guo Yunhou thought that the people of Ming Dynasty would not want to immigrate to Jiaozhi because of the difficulty of leaving their homeland or other messy reasons, but in fact this was not the case at all.

What worries you most about immigrants?

It’s because I don’t know the yield of the land where I’m going to emigrate, and I’m worried that I’ll be bullied if I go to a place I’m not familiar with, and I’m worried that the cost of emigration will not be proportional to the return.

But can Annan do the same?

Who doesn't know that there are two or even three crops a year in Annan, and the monkeys in Annan have been arrested to build the railway, so there is no need to worry about the bullying of the landowners, and the Annan money, cattle, furniture, seeds, etc. given by the government. With many good conditions added together, it is a fool not to be tempted!

When seeing the benefits, the action of the people is almost as strong as before. Many people not only signed up by themselves, but even called their friends to call other people to sign up together, which caused headaches for the governments everywhere. Limited number of people.

As a final solution, almost all local governments adopted the same method-drawing lots.

There are as many paper balls as there are families in a county, and as many paper balls are thrown in a big box. Assuming that the county has allocated fifty households for immigrants, there will be fifty paper balls with words written on them in the box, and the remaining Everything below is blank.

The people who drew the paper balls that moved the characters were ecstatic, and the people who got the blank paper balls were like dead parents. This is the reality of the common people.

It doesn't matter what kind of homeland is hard to leave, but because the benefits are not obvious enough and the temptation is not strong enough, once there are huge benefits that can be seen and touched, the people of Ming Dynasty will be positive!

After figuring out the twists and turns, Guo Yunhou simply did the same thing, trying to attract the people to move to the Leshi Grassland—the effect was indeed obvious.

It's just that when trying to attract people to move to Duogansi and Wusizang, they ran into trouble, especially on the side of Congling, and no one wanted to go.

The people are not fools. The terrain and environment in Duogansi and Wusizang are not very good. Whoever has nothing to do will think about emigrating there!

After successively immigrating to Leshi Grassland and Liaodong, Nurgandusi, and Jiaozhi, Guo Yunhou discovered a new problem with great pain.

Just like what Emperor Chongzhen had been worrying about, the population of Daming was still too small—after 1000 million people migrated out of more than [-] million, it was obvious that there were fewer people.

If it's just like this, it's really nothing. Anyway, the common people will always want to have more children, even if they are greedy for government rewards, they will have more children. These places will be filled sooner or later.

But, the man in the palace, he doesn't follow the routine, maybe he will go to the imperial conquest as soon as he hits his head, kill a lot of barbarians, and then get back a large piece of land, and then he has to start from Domestic immigration used to occupy territory.

Looking at the national treasury that was about to bottom out, Guo Yunhou finally dismissed the idea of ​​increasing the fertility reward and decided to let nature take its course. After all, the current reward is not low, and if it is increased, the treasury will not be able to support it.

At that time, the state treasury will be strained because the people have too many children. It would be too ridiculous-the Ming Dynasty treasury was not dragged down by huge military expenditures, nor was it dragged down by huge construction expenditures, but it turned out to be because the people had children. If there are too many to support, then it is really a joke!

These messy things also reminded Emperor Chongzhen.

Through Jinyiwei and Dongxichang, Emperor Chongzhen was like a giant dragon entrenched over the entire Ming Dynasty, and any disturbance could not be hidden from his eyes.

The same is true for these problems faced by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Guo Yunhou had a headache, but Emperor Chongzhen did not have any good solutions.

After all, for people to have children, there is no other good way except to guide them.

But it seems to be okay to gather old guys like Shi Fenglai and some guys who don't want to be in the court, and make it into a state-owned think tank?

Although it has the meaning of grabbing the cabinet's job, the cabinet has to deal with government affairs, but the think tank doesn't need it. It just needs to keep making assumptions based on various situations and then conduct deduction?
