Quick wear is not a cannon fodder
Chapter 1638 The real and fake princess 31
The Minister of Household Affairs explained the reason and said: "It is not that the number of deaths has increased, but that many people have gone to the rebels in the north. Too many people have gone. Now it has seriously affected tax revenue and food production, and tax revenue has further reduced." , the treasury will dry up; without food, the army will not be able to support it. Your Majesty must make a decision early, otherwise something will happen sooner or later."
Now the South calls Enron the Northern rebels.
Since they don't think An Ran is Princess Fu'an, her name is naturally not that, so naturally she can't be called her. And then they don't know her real name, so they just call her the Northern Rebel.
Emperor Jianfeng couldn't help but feel chills after hearing the report from the Minister of the Ministry of Finance. He instinctively understood that Anron was using another method to attack the south, a way to kill the enemy invisible. At the moment, it seemed that this method It is very likely to succeed - if this continues, if there are only one or two million people left in the South, how will it survive? The dignitaries could not even find their attendants.
Realizing that the danger was at hand, Emperor Jianfeng quickly summoned the cabinet and six ministers to discuss what to do about the matter.
This was what the ministers wanted Emperor Jianfeng to know, so when the meeting was held, everyone realized that this matter could not continue, so they quickly reached a consensus: an escape order was also issued in the south, Those people were not allowed to escape.
Although the northern rebel and "fake" Princess Fu'an once said that anyone who issues an escape order will be beaten... Anyway, if you don't issue it, you will die, so whoever is afraid of whom should fight if you have the ability.
But they were overthinking it. Enron had no plans to attack the south for the time being, so even though they heard that they had issued an escape order, they didn't bother with it. Anyway, immigrants had already formed an industrial chain, so there was no need to worry that the escape order could really control the current population exodus. Condition.
But in the south, Emperor Jianfeng thought that he could control the matter by issuing an escape order, but he underestimated the motivation of capitalists to risk their lives for profits.
But he said that although everyone in the Hou Qi Dynasty was aware of the danger, everyone from the king to the ministers planned to intercept it.
But... the benefits are very attractive, and the profits from transferring people are becoming more and more abundant. Who is willing to make a living? Some people even think that it doesn’t matter even if the land is not cultivated. Anyway, the rewards for transferring people every year are better than those from farming. The money is more - now if one person is transferred there, they can get almost ten taels of silver. As long as ten thousand people are transferred successfully in a year, they will have an income of one hundred thousand taels. If one hundred thousand people can be transferred, how much will they get? Money; besides, if they don’t do it, others will do it, so they not only have to do it, but they also have to rush to do it, lest in the future, people will almost transfer it, and there will be no one to transfer it to, and they will not be able to make a fortune.
If the south really can't survive by then, they will be afraid of having money. At worst, they will take that large sum of money to buy land in the north and continue to live.
Although the northern fields are said to be owned by the state, and those who buy them only have the right to operate them, it is said that the taxes paid are extremely low, and even if they only have the right to operate, it is still cost-effective. Moreover, it is said that the period of operation is extremely long, and you can own it for thirty years if you buy it once. Right, which is no different from having ownership.
The more I think about it, the more families that have participated in the population transfer in the early stages of the population transfer, and now have mature transfer routes and huge profits, continue this business, not afraid of what kind of terrible situation the south will fall into if all the people are transferred. .
Therefore... although the escape order exists, it is in name only. Except for some people who have not participated in this enterprise, who feel that their farming interests have been damaged and will risk their lives to file a lawsuit with the imperial court, most others have not said anything, and even Help hide it, because more and more people are engaged in this business, and these people do not want their own interests to be harmed.
In fact, those who risk their lives to inform are indeed risking their lives, because vested interests will find ways to kill them.
When Emperor Jianfeng heard that there were still people helping to transport people, he was furious and ordered the people below to control them strictly. Those who failed to control them would be brought to trial.
But... Emperor Jianfeng, whose decrees were difficult to get out of the small imperial palace in the south, had little ability to execute what he said.
As more and more people dared to report this matter in front of the imperial court, Emperor Jianfeng had no idea how well the people below him were performing. What he always got was the illusion of peace and prosperity. And Anron's failure to attack the south also made this illusion worse and worse. The more real.
This is what Enron wants.
Emperor Jianfeng didn't know the situation outside. He didn't know that after the evacuation order was issued, not only did people in the south not run away less, but more and more people ran away.
This is also normal.
As far as An Ran knows, although the south has developed water systems and is convenient for farming, there are more people and less land. Most families have not reached the level of three acres of land per capita. A family of more than ten people, old and young, can only have a few acres of thin land. Even that’s good.
But in the north, a dozen or so people are not too many. For example, a family of fifteen people can be allocated forty-five acres of land, and the family business can be expanded five to ten times in one go. In addition, there are people to pick up the land in the north. There is no need to spend money (this is what Enron has repeatedly emphasized, and immigrants cannot accept money). Who wouldn’t want to go there and have a look? Anyway, everyone has heard about it from relatives and friends, saying that the living conditions there are excellent. So it's normal to run north.
At first, only those who were brave went there. Slowly, as more and more people came to know that the living conditions in the north were very good, the less courageous ones also ran away. Now, even the timid people are willing to go there. I've looked through it all, but there's nothing I can do. All the relatives and friends around me have left, and their letters say they made a fortune there. Aren't you jealous? Naturally, I went over to take a look. Everyone else had been there for a few years, and they were all fine, so what should I be afraid of?
So the crazy immigration began.
And this is what the rich and powerful people in the south like to see. After all, the more people go, the more they earn. If not for Princess Fu'an's order, they cannot force others to go. Otherwise, in order to make money, they are afraid They would abduct some people, and even risk crossing the tropical rainforest to capture some natives from the tropical continent and sell them. After all, compared with the profit, even catching some natives from the tropical continent to sell is cost-effective.
But they were afraid of Princess Fu'an's intelligence network in the south - after someone did this, they were refused business cooperation in the north - so everyone was still honest. Of course, the main reason was that if this continued, sooner or later the south would be ruled by Princess Fu'an. When I checked, I found out that they had forced people to go to the north, and it would be terrible to cause trouble for them.
Since he is optimistic about An Ran, he naturally does not dare to do anything that disobeys An Ran's orders, so as not to settle the score when he is ruled by her in the future.
