    Immigration to the border is a century-old plan.  ¡­¨QEspecially in the Northeast, it is related to whether the occupation is stable and whether there is greater stamina to expand northward.  For now, the land situation is loose, and there will not be a large amount of surplus labor until the population increases significantly.  Moreover, considering the bitter cold in the Northeast, I am afraid immigrants would rather choose the Mekong and River provinces than suffer the hardships on the border outside the customs.  If we want people to go to the mountains and countryside, we need to introduce more encouraging policies and provide better conditions.  This comes down to finances. Building houses, building roads, seeds, farming cattle, etc. are related to the enthusiasm of immigrants, but they also cost a lot.  Let¡¯s do it step by step!  Looking at the new statistical report from the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Zhu Yongxing made some estimates and felt that it would take at least until next year, when the restoration and reconstruction of the Northland reaches the expected goals, before large-scale immigration can be realized.  Now, we can only rely on the army to guard the border for the time being.  But new incentive policies can be launched first to give the public time to think or prepare.  The policy's preferential intensity was indeed unprecedented. Although some people inevitably opposed it, it was passed due to Zhu Yongxing's persistence.  "Those who recruit more than a hundred people to cultivate land in Liaodong will be granted county magistrates and will be trained by the Ministry of Civil Affairs for half a year. After passing the qualifications, they can go to work; those who immigrate to Liaodong will each be granted ten acres of private land and receive thirty acres of farming exemption.  The land allotment period is ten years; half of the newly reclaimed wasteland in Liaodong will belong to the people who reclaimed it, and the other half will belong to the government; those who immigrate to Liaodong will be exempted from the Ding tax; those who immigrate to Liaodong, each household will be loaned one horse or one cow by the government, and can use ten acres  Twenty percent of the harvest will be repaid within ten years; those who immigrate to Liaodong will be resettled by the government in building houses, and pots, bowls, ladles, basins and other daily necessities, as well as cotton-padded clothes and quilts and other cold-proof items, will be distributed free of charge by the government" The imperial edict is issued.  , the report was sent.  The new immigration policy that will be implemented next year immediately caused a huge sensation among the people.  Undoubtedly, for ordinary people, this is a good opportunity to get rid of poverty and become rich. They may go from having nothing to becoming a small landowner with dozens of acres or even hundreds of acres; for those who are capable.  More emphasis is placed on conferring officials into official positions. There are more than a hundred people. It is not too many. There is no need for imperial examinations or admission to academies, but it is worth a seventh-grade county magistrate.  Of course, this is an opportunity but also a challenge, challenging people's confidence in the court and the army.  Challenge people¡¯s adventurous spirit.  After all, Liaodong is on the border, the war with the Tartars has not yet ended, and the natural environment appears to be harsh.  Perhaps what can provide some comfort and give people some sense of security is the "Regulations on the Administration of Civilian Firearms" promulgated by the imperial court.  It was also first tried among immigrants from Liaodong. Men of appropriate age and good health were required to undergo two weeks of military training.  Master the use of flintlock muskets and be issued a gun license by the government.  Granted guns.  In addition to the daily patrols, security and other tasks arranged by the local government, these immigrants who receive guns will also undergo a week-long training exercise organized by the government during their free time every autumn and winter, and the government will issue fixed subsidies.  In other words, behind the implementation of the "Civilian Firearms Management Measures".  There is also the shadow of compulsory military service, or it is a rehearsal and attempt.  It is both a reserve soldier and a soldier for all the people. Zhu Yongxing hopes that through this step-by-step measure, bravery and bloody spirit can be penetrated into the soul of the Chinese nation.  Taking into account financial factors.  Although the incentive policy for immigration to the border will take effect next year, another method has already been implemented in the military, which is to try to enable the officers and soldiers of the Northeast Military Region to take root and settle down in this black land.  The provisions for military camp rewards have long been in existence, but now they have been strengthened.  Retired officers and soldiers who choose to settle down in Liaodong will be provided with housing and daily necessities by the government, will be granted 100 acres of land, will receive military garrison or military merit rewards, six out of ten, will be exempted from taxes for fifteen years, and will be able to buy horses, cattle and other livestock at half price.  The repayment period is ten years The most pacifying measure is to buy 500 young women each from Korea and Japan, grant them the status of Mingren, and gather them in Jinzhou to receive Chinese training, which will relieve the biggest worry of retired officers and soldiers who have settled in Liaodong.  .  ??The Korean and Japanese countries are so poor that they don¡¯t have enough to eat. I heard that they wanted to marry into the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention that they were eager to marry, but many parents in the Korean and Japanese countries were very willing.  Not only has she gained money, but also given her daughter a good future. Maybe she will be able to get a Ming Dynasty "green card" and become a Ming Dynasty citizen in the future!  The reason why we chose Korean and Japanese women is also very simple.  Women in these two countries are very famous for their obedience. Hard work and hard work are very important in Liaodong, and from the perspective of climate and environment, they are better able to adapt.  Of course, some problems will inevitably arise, but there is no way. This is also the conclusion Zhu Yongxing has come to again and again.  "Long live, the problem of too many boys and girls in the country already exists, why do we still need to buy women from Korea and Japan?" As the highest-ranking female official, Zhang Shihua felt disappointed that she could not enter the harem, but according to her thinking, she wanted to be a female official.  She was also a good official, which was what made her different from most domestic women at that time.  &nbsp"It's not like I don't know this problem." Zhu Yongxing spread his hands helplessly and said: "But they are picky. Not to mention this bitter cold land in Liaodong, it is in the northwest, and the conditions are not that bad. How many people are willing to go? Always?  Can't force it? " "It's not women who are picky, it's their family's resistance," compatriot Zhang Shihua argued.  "Then what can you do?" Zhu Yongxing kicked the ball back again. Anyway, he had nothing to do.  Zhang Shihua blinked his big eyes, thought for a while, and said: "Long live the decree, cancel the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words in marriage, and prospective women can choose their husbands freely." "Nonsense." Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes and said: "  Parents' orders and matchmaker's words are traditions and not legal provisions. How can the government forcibly prohibit them? The key to this problem is concept. How can it be easy to change people's old concepts? " "It is not easy but also slow.  Change it slowly!" Zhang Shihua said stubbornly: "Long live, I think it is inappropriate for the imperial court to prohibit the sale of people on the one hand, and on the other hand, buy people from other countries." Zhu Yongxing was stunned for a moment, and argued: "It is forbidden to buy and sell people.  It is for the people of the Ming Dynasty, not foreigners! That, the court will not publicize to the outside world, only the soldiers of the Northeast Military Region will know -" Seeing Zhang Shihua opening his mouth to argue again, Zhu Yongxing quickly continued: "What about you?  , we need to publicize this independent marriage more and let people change their minds. Don¡¯t you know that the peacock flies to the southeast, and the foreign Juliet, are all good themes! " Juliet?  Zhang Shihua was a little dizzy, frowning slightly and lost in thought. Zhu Yongxing took the time to wink at He Shulan, the female officer next to him, and pursed his lips.  "Your Majesty." He Shulan understood the idea and stepped forward and said: "The governor of Liaoning is about to take office. I have come to pay my respects. Please ask your Majesty to move to Ziguang Pavilion." "Oh, Zhu Yongxing suddenly understood, stood up and said to Zhang Shihua: "Zhang Qing, let's talk today  At this point, if you have any ideas, please let me know." "Long live, there is still the matter of opening a school, the Ministry of Finance has not allocated enough funds!" Zhang Shihua did not dare to stop Zhu Yongxing, but he kept talking.  "I know, I will ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to inquire." Zhu Yongxing responded casually, turned around the desk, and slipped out of the side door.  He Shulan followed closely, covering her mouth gently, as if she wanted to laugh but didn't dare.  Zhu Yongxing was too tolerant of his ministers, which she did not agree with very much.  "I didn't expect this Shihua to be quite stubborn!" Zhu Yongxing muttered as he walked: "Have you spent a few days with her before?" He Shulan was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether Zhu Yongxing admired or disliked her, so she was cautious  He said: "Time is still short, and everyone is restrained, so I can't tell my temper and temperament. However, Shi Hua was born overseas, so his thinking and behavior are different from others, right?" "Well, I think there is nothing wrong with being stubborn.  "Okay, she seems to be serious about her duties." Zhu Yongxing smiled lightly and said, "Women, if you want to break through tradition, you need to set an example like this. That Li Yingmei is not bad either. She is a little less well-read, but she is straightforward in her actions."  , There is something neat about it." "Your Majesty always has a unique way of looking at people and things." He Shulan said with a smile: "It is precisely because of the longevity of the brilliance that the ministers below have a place to show their talents, and there are many famous generals.  "This is cliche." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "But history has it that it is said that those emperors thought so, and they produced capable and famous ministers, which is also a wise monarch.  I will not take away the merits of my officials, nor will I be stingy with rewards, but I will not tolerate them if they violate the laws of the country. Everyone goes his own way, and it has nothing to do with me." "Long live kindness, but have a conscience.  , the ministers dare not deceive the king." After all, He Shulan still can't break away from the shackles of the feudal tradition, and it's no wonder that she is.  Zhu Yongxing shook his head slightly, but said no more. He paused and asked with some uncertainty: "The governor of Liaoning is here? Isn't it a temporary excuse you made?" "Your Majesty, your Majesty is indeed safe today, look.  The time has come, how can any minister keep Long Live waiting?" He Shulan pursed her lips in amusement, and said, "Long Live is busy with business, so there is no need to make any excuses." Zhu Yongxing smiled in disgrace, but saw He Shulan's charming appearance.  The girl's appearance made her heart move. Even though she was an average-looking girl, she still exuded a charming youthful atmosphere. What's more, He Shulan was very beautiful!  From a chronological point of view, Lu Wenyang can be regarded as starting from the Dragon Party and the magistrate of Chongming County. At that time, the Ming and Qing armies were fighting fiercely south of the Yangtze River. When the situation was unclear, he returned from the north all the way to the south to fight for  The loyalty of the Ming Dynasty is really valuable.  Although Zhu Yongxing is a little more utilitarian, unlike others, he does not despise this, but rather sees it as a positive advantage.  And Liaodong??Liaoning Province, since Lu Wenyang took office.  Although the fighting on the front line is still continuing and half of Liaoning has not been recovered, judging from the situation, the Manchu Qing Dynasty can no longer support it. They will either stick to Shenyang and fight to the death with the Ming army, or they will continue to retreat and "keep the green mountains."  Now, we have the long-term plan of not being afraid of running out of firewood.¡±  ¡­¡­¡­¡­(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
