Domineering Daming

Fang Kongxuan's words may not only be his thoughts, but may represent the meaning of a considerable number of people in the imperial court.

Zhu Xu also heard the implication that Fang Kongzhang and others wanted to move out, and it was likely that the 500 million people were far from the only ones.

Chapter 1455 Deportation Immigrants

It stands to reason that the territory of the Ming Dynasty is now unprecedentedly vast, and there is no problem at all in accommodating 8000 to [-] million people, or even [-] million people.

The problem is that now is a special period when natural disasters are intensifying and various contradictions are becoming more and more acute.

Whether it is for the disaster situation, the "New Deal", future development or control of newly occupied places, there are sufficient reasons for the imperial court to want large-scale immigration.

Zhu Xu was noncommittal about this matter. Daming's land is enough to accommodate these people. After the disaster, it is foreseeable that there will be a period of extremely population expansion. Correspondingly, the sea trade will be more developed, and the population will emigrate overseas. is a trend.

Overall, the population will grow rapidly, and even immigration now cannot stop the reality of population growth.

Fang Kongzhen naturally knew that Zhu Xu couldn't hide it, and said: "Your Majesty, there is a view in the cabinet that the current population is an obstacle to the 'New Deal'."

Zhu Xu took the teacup, took a sip of tea, and said, "This kind of view is not surprising."

The so-called "not surprising" is because the disaster is raging now, and most of the people are living very hard. In the eyes of many people, the reason is not the lack of food in the Ming Dynasty, but the overpopulation.

Under a certain population, land ratio and output environment, there is a huge difference between raising 100 people and 1 people. 100 people may be enough to feed themselves, but 1 people will be killed.

This is also a point of view that later generations studied the "Little Ice River" period. They believed that the Ming Dynasty had a large population and a large area, so the disasters it suffered were naturally heavier. The countries that suffered the disaster survived smoothly, because the disaster suffered was small and the disaster resistance capacity was sufficient, so they survived smoothly.

Fang Kongzhang looked at Zhu Xu, wondering what his words meant, pondered for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the cabinet is planning a 'assimilation' policy, mainly aimed at Japan, and now there are two methods, one One is moving in, one is moving out, and it is planned to be implemented in the second half of next year."

This is also like Zhu Xu hinted that some kind of change is taking place in the cabinet. This seemingly "assimilation" policy is actually like Annan and others, adopting the expulsion policy, and then moving the people of Ming Dynasty to complete the "assimilation".

Zhu Xu remained motionless, and said, "Where are you going?"

Fang Kongxuan said: "In the north of Ceylon, there are some large and small countries, that is, the south of the Mughals. The United Fleet has already occupied one. These people are natives and descendants of the Mongols, but they have been domesticated. They advocate Buddhism and attack power. Insufficient, the United Fleet supported a puppet to rule the area in the name of suppressing bandits, and the cabinet is still considering the establishment of a Governor of Ceylon."

The governor has already entered history in Daming, including overseas.The two provinces of Luzon and Old Port once set up the post of governor, in charge of military administration and civil affairs. It is a position with very high real power, and it means that the Ming court attaches great importance to this place.

If Sun Chuanting wants to set up a governor in Ceylon, it means that he has an idea about the Indian mainland where the Mughals are located.

Zhu Xu looked playful, did Fu Tao's actions make Sun Chuanting realize the importance of overseas?Or the amazing profits of Haimao?Or, what did you see from him, cooperating with the advance layout?

However, in any case, Sun Chuanting's arrangement was very satisfactory to him, putting down the teacup, Zhu Xu said, "Well, I see."

Fang Kongzheng was startled, looking at Zhu Xu, not knowing what he meant by this sentence.

But he didn't ask any more, but said something else, and he got up to leave after half an hour.

Zhu Xu sat on the chair, remained silent for a while, spread out the paper, picked up a pen, and wrote four large characters vertically on the right side: An Min Ding Ce.

Then he wrote vigorously and wrote nearly a thousand words in one go.

After watching it carefully for a while, he said to the outside: "Send it to the cabinet."

Cao Huachun walked in quickly and took the hand, his expression slightly startled.

Because this is not text, but a piece of paper.

Without hesitation, Cao Huachun closed his mouth without folding it, and hurriedly sent it to the cabinet.

Near the end of the year, Sun Chuanting had a lot of things to do. Seeing Cao Huachun come in with a smile, his expression changed, he got up and said with a smile, "Eunuch Cao is a rare visitor, please sit down."

Cao Huachun said: "Don't dare to delay the time of the first assistant, the emperor asked our family to send it."

Sun Chuanting didn't dare to delay, took it over and looked at it quickly, after reading it, he thought for a while, and said: "Please report to the emperor, the eunuch, the cabinet will study it immediately, and make a plan a year ago and submit it to the imperial court."

Cao Huachun smiled, but did not leave. Looking at Sun Chuanting, he said curiously: "Shoufu, why did you think of asking Fang Shangshu to talk about it?"

When Fang Kongzhang entered the palace this time, he seemed to be "seeking trouble for nothing", and more often, he went to play for Sun Chuanting.

Sun Chuanting had a good impression of the chief executive of the palace who did not interfere in politics, and said with a smile: "There are some things that the emperor can't talk about, and some things that the chief assistant can't do. Someone needs to mediate, please forgive me."

Cao Huachun's position is very special, he can see many things clearly, he understood Sun Chuanting's words, and said: "Our family understands."

Just as Cao Huachun was about to leave, Sun Chuanting suddenly said, "Eunuch Cao, I heard that the Cao family has been a little restless recently?"

Cao Huachun was about to turn around, but his expression suddenly changed when he heard the words, and he said, "What does the chief assistant mean by that?"

The imperial court of the Ming Dynasty has always been jittery, especially at this time, the higher the position, the harder it is to walk on thin ice.

This time it was Sun Chuanting who was surprised, and said: "The playbook has been transferred to the Supervisor of Rituals, and Eunuch Cao didn't see it?"

The outer court has always hated the inner eunuch, even Cao Huachun was cautious, maintained a close relationship with the cabinet, and never offended him.

He didn't know what Sun Chuanting meant, so he took a serious look at him, left the cabinet, went up to the third floor, and walked into the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

Liu Shimin, the second-in-command in the eunuch, was sorting out the playbook, and then glanced at the ben clock across the way, making sure of the time, and was about to send the playbook to the Qianqing Palace.

Seeing Cao Huachun come in, Liu Shimin put down his pen and said with a smile as usual, "Is the Emperor busy, or is he resting?"

Cao Huachun was a little vigilant in his heart, now he smiled and said, "It's okay, let's take a look at the memorabilia about me."

Liu Shimin's smile froze for a moment, then he smiled calmly and said, "Understood?"

Cao Huachun sat down on Liu Shimin's lower left, and said, "Well, show me."

Liu Shimin didn't move, looked at him seriously, and said, "Since the cabinet is already thinking of a way, I don't think you can watch it at this time."

Cao Huachun became more and more uneasy. The unknown is the greatest source of fear.

Cao Huachun restrained his expression and said, "Take it out."

Liu Shimin looked at him, as if sighing, got up and took out a playbook from a box at the back, and said again: "If you read it, you'll pretend you didn't see it."

Cao Huachun glanced at him, felt uneasy, and reached out to take it.

Chapter 1456 Immigration Chaos

Cao Huachun looked at the playbook, his face sank like water, the weather changed, his left hand was holding the chair, the veins were exposed, and there was a crackling sound.

Liu Shimin watched, shook his head secretly, and did not speak.

Cao Huachun's eyes were about to burst into flames, even with his energy-raising skills, he couldn't help but change color, which shows that this memorial is unusual.

It took a while before Cao Huachun closed the notebook, stood up slowly, turned around and walked outside without saying a word.

Liu Shimin looked at his desolate, suddenly hunched back, and sighed indifferently.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Cao Huachun reappeared in Qianqing Palace, standing with his hands down, his expression indifferent.

On Zhu Xu's desk was a letter of resignation.
