    "Where are there natural disasters this year?" As soon as Yang Yi asked this question, he immediately felt like he was evil again.

    Han Huhu didn't think he was evil. He rolled his eyes and sighed: "To be honest, Nunu really hopes that there will be a natural disaster so that we can hire all the victims to work in one go. But, even if there is a natural disaster,  No, now the people have land and land, their lives are richer than before, their families have more food, and their ability to deal with natural disasters has increased. Even if there is a natural disaster, there will not be refugees all over the place immediately like before."

    "It seems that I have to marry more concubines, give birth to more children, and contribute to increasing the population of the Song Dynasty!" Yang Yi sighed longly, as if he regarded the world as his own responsibility.

    Han Bier squirmed a few times in his arms, smiled sweetly and said: "Who has I fallen in love with? Nunu will help me carry him back."

    Snapped!  Yang Yi slapped her pink buttocks, causing Fairy Han to let out a series of moans of pain and pleasure. She didn't just talk about it, she had always liked Yang Yi since she started playing piano.  Looking for a woman, it was as if she had never worried that Yang Yi would have too many women to take care of her. At this point, even Yang Yi couldn't figure out what she was thinking.

    In the past few years, the Song Dynasty has developed rapidly in all aspects, which will inevitably accelerate the population growth. However, the number recorded by the imperial court is only more than 60 million. After conquering Xixia, Jiaozhi, Liao Kingdom, and the Western Regions, the total population is only 90 million.  , an increase of about 30 million;

    But the land area has increased two or three times, so not only has this failed to alleviate the problem of labor shortage, on the contrary, the increase has only increased the land area.  The need to relocate a large number of people to the border will actually make the labor gap even larger.

    In the past, laborers in Tokyo worked hard all day long.  You can only earn a few dozen cash, up to about a hundred cash.  But now, you can't hire labor for one hundred cents. The price of hiring a worker for one day has now increased to one hundred and eighty cents, nearly twice the original price.

    In the past, every street corner in the city was full of people waiting to be hired in the morning. Now, people are still being recruited at every street corner. It¡¯s just that now there are more employers than people. Every one who comes is hired away. We no longer see the large number of people we used to.  People were looking around at the street entrance.  The scene of waiting dryly for employment.

    From the perspective of the entire country, these changes appear very subtle, but they reflect the huge changes in all aspects of the Song Dynasty.

    Yang Yi thought for a while and said: "Cotton-making, spinning, and weaving mainly require women. In recent years, the wars in the areas where Annan, Xixia, and Liao are located will inevitably lead to more women than men. You send people  Recruiting women in the above-mentioned areas should be able to solve part of the labor shortage."

    Han Bi'er shook her head and said: "The women in this place have to leave their hometowns to work, and I'm afraid not many will come. Unless the local government can cooperate, and the other thing is that the women in these places are not as clever as my Han women in textiles. This will also happen  Let our costs increase."

    "I will think of a way for the local government. Once you recruit people, you can organize textile experts to train them. It will take a long time. Once they are proficient, the speed will naturally increase."

    Han Bier then asked: "What about the large mulberry gardens and cotton fields? These require young and strong labor to cultivate, and most of the textile factories are women. The court may not care, but if our plantations gather a large number of young and strong people,  . I'm afraid someone in the court will be worried. Besides, young and strong labor is harder to find than women now. Over in Nanyang, we can get some mulberry fields to plant in Lingnan, but I'm afraid it won't be enough. We don't dare to do it here in the north.  Do this, Master, once this matter is spread out, things will become really complicated."

    "Each planting garden requires a labor force ranging from a thousand to a few hundred people. With the support of the Queen Mother and the participation of many officials from the DPRK and the Central Government, there will not be any problem in gathering this few people. Don't forget that we have another  I haven¡¯t played any cards"

    "You are talking about the eldest princess of Qin, right?"

    "Well, if you play this card well, it will have unexpected effects. You should think about these yourself"

    Yang Yi thought for a while and then said: "Now that the Dali country is full of wars and wars, a large number of people will definitely lose their homes because of this. You send people to Dali to recruit these refugees. Now both the Gao family and the Duan family are asking for help."  I, they dare not stand in the way in this matter, but you can go and recruit with confidence. Solving the labor problem in the cotton fields is not a problem. Remember, the refugees in Dali should be arranged to go to the cotton fields in the north as much as possible, so that they can stay away from Dali  , which is conducive to management.¡±

    Now the Gao family and the Duan family in Dali are engaged in a life-and-death battle, which has left Dali riddled with holes and flooded with victims. In addition, the two sides are in a stalemate, and both hope to get the support of the Song Dynasty. Now it is impossible to go to Dali to get some labor and come back to solve the labor gap of the trading company.  question,

    But Dali will be taken back sooner or later, and it will be impossible to do so in the future, now the shortage of labor is a problem for the entire Song Dynasty. What Yang Yi wants to develop is the industry and commerce of the entire Song Dynasty, and it is not enough to solve the problem of the Western Indian Ocean Trading Co., Ltd.

    Yang Yi also racked his brains to think about it. It was too late to go to Africa to sell black slaves now. This distant water cannot save the nearby fire. If the problem of labor shortage is not solved, the development of the Song Dynasty will be greatly restricted.

    Yang Yi suddenly thought of a word: Jinshan.

    In the 19th century, the United States was developing rapidly and the labor gap was very large, so they created a gold mine and went to China to promote it, saying that gold mining in the United States would make a fortune. In fact, it was similar to selling piglets.  There are countless Chinese workers. It can be said that without the participation of Chinese workers, the development of the United States would never be so fast.

    ¡°Well, we can do what others can do.

    "Bier, that Korean businessman Li Zhengxi, and the big businessman Lu Yongzan of the Wusi tribe, we must cooperate with them this time. Remember, our Song Dynasty has discovered a huge gold mine, and we want them to encourage the local people.  People come here to dig for goldHahaha." When Yang Yi said this, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

    "I mean" Han Huhu immediately understood what he meant.

    "That's right, whether it's gold mining or other reasons, let them return to China to publicize it. In short, we will give them how much manpower we can get according to the price. There is another place."

    "Japan?"

    "Well, looking at all the countries in the world, Japan has the largest population, and the Japanese admire the Song Dynasty very much. It is not difficult to get some labor back from Japan. I don't need to teach you how. Anyway, the more you get back, the better.  good."

    "Hehe, Nunu knows."

    "You vixen, I'm afraid you've thought of this a long time ago. Stop pretending to be crazy in front of me from now on. I still have a lot to do, and I don't have time to grind my teeth with you."

    "Nunu is wronged. Where did Nunu think of it? Besides, if you don't nod to these things, even if Nunu thinks of it, you won't dare to do it." Han Bi'er's naked jade body was wrapped around her like a water snake again,  With utmost attentiveness, a plump jade breast was immediately put into Yang Yi's mouth, gagging him until he could no longer speak

    Once the detailed plan and budget for the expansion of the capital were submitted, the budget of nearly 90 million yuan immediately caused an uproar in the court.

    But what surprised everyone was that Cai Jing, who should have been the first to jump out and challenge Yang Yi, was actually there, as if the 90 million yuan was not paid for by the Ministry of Household Affairs.

    Before the officials could jump out to speak, Yang Yi rushed out and said: "Queen Mother, now that the Holy King of the Song Dynasty is in power, the people's livelihood is in great order, and all industries are prosperous and prosperous. Since the Queen Mother took office, she has been promoted by close and virtuous ministers and distant villains.  She was wise and loyal, eradicated bad government, revitalized agriculture, encouraged industry and commerce, moved people to Jinghu, greatly controlled the Yellow River, developed Lingnan, conquered Jiaozhi, and recovered the eastern and western regions of Liao. The rule of the Queen Mother can truly be called Yao and Shun among women!"

    Liu Qingjing was very happy when Yang Yi flattered her. Especially since Yang Yi put this hat on her, it had a different meaning.

    In the past, Gao Taotao was also called the female middle school Yao and Shun by the old party, but looking at what Gao Taotao has done, compared with the current Queen Mother, one is in the sky and the other is on the ground.

    The hat worn by Yao and Shun among women should have been worn by Empress Dowager Liu!

    It¡¯s just that no one in the New Party has mentioned it like this. Well, the current Taifu, Ning Guogong, and Grand Scholar Yang have mentioned it. The top female high school among Yao and Shun is none other than Liu Qingjing.

    Yang Yi continued: "Your Majesty, your Majesty the Song Dynasty has wise ministers and virtuous ministers. The people are prosperous and live in peace and contentment. All the barbarians have surrendered. All nations have come to court. The prosperity has reached far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties. This is Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and all the people in the palace who are loyal to the country."  The prosperous era created by the united efforts of the ministers. However, there are also regrets. Because our Tokyo city was expanded on the old city, it lacked overall planning and seemed narrow and congested everywhere. It was different from the great Song Dynasty, which was surrounded by the world and powerful.  The image of the country does not match.

    In the former Tang Dynasty, Chang'an was so majestic and magnificent that when the barbarians from all over the country came to court, they were all disrobed and even bowed to the ground and worshiped with a cauldron.  Nowadays, the treasury of our Song Dynasty is abundant. Since we want to expand Tokyo, I think that I should build it in a more decent way to show the supreme majesty of our Song Dynasty as the common master of the world and the king of all barbarians, so that all nations will surrender and everyone will return to their heart.  "

    Yang Yi¡¯s words actually contained some tricks. He used the expansion of the capital as a carrier to demonstrate the cultural and martial arts of the Song Dynasty. This was to arouse the resonance of all New Party officials.

    How did this prosperous age come about? This is not just the credit of the emperor, the queen mother, or a certain person. It is the result of the unity and hard work of all New Party members over the years. This is the credit of all New Party members.

    Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in fine clothes at night.  InsteadIn short, the New Party worked hard and achieved today's prosperous age, but this prosperous age is relatively empty. Then expanding a majestic capital city will undoubtedly materialize the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, so that everyone's contributions can be embodied in this majestic capital city.  manifested.

    Look, if it weren¡¯t for the prosperous times, how could we have built such a majestic city.

    Such a majestic Tokyo city is the result of our efforts over the years. This majestic Tokyo city is a monument, which is engraved with our contributions and demonstrates the great achievements we have created.
