Chapter 55 The task of the population
Pu Jinshu, who was called up for a moment, hurriedly washed it up and appeared in the lobby. Li Feng and Zhang Qing, who were drinking tea, had been talking for a while, and Pu Jinshu bowed to them.
"Sorry, sorry, wait for a long time!"
When he saw Pu Jinshu, Li and Zhang Qing stood up together and bowed to him. Especially Li Qi was very polite to Pu Jinshu. After all, the island owner of Jeju Island was considered a very noble person.
"It has disturbed Mr. Pu's good dream. It should be punished, and it should be punished!"
"You're welcome, you're so sleepy, so let's wait for two!"
After a while of greeting, the topic soon came to the point. Because the people of the "Huaxia Empire" were busy with their own affairs. There was not so much time to mess around. Merchants were busy making money, and workers were busy working. Because of the legal 6-hour work system, many people still looked for part-time jobs after work. As for the 6-hour work system, if you think about the huge profits of 100 times in industrial products, you should know that the treatment of workers in this era should be the best period in history.
"I think about it. Apart from reducing the army, it is really not easy to find more people!"
Li Feng did have a headache, how many people could he have in his small Yizhou? Huaxia Island is almost 1 million at this moment, and there are hundreds of thousands of people in Song alone. Although there are refugees transported by merchants from Quanzhou and other coastal cities, the most people are in Yizhou after all. But Zhao Fubo's need for population is like a bottomless pit. Even if there is another Yizhou, it is not enough. Even if the people in Yizhou are living on Jeju Island, the population birth rate has increased significantly, but this is still not enough!
As for Zhang Qing, as mentioned earlier, as a soldier, he doesn't care much about the affairs of the people. At this moment, it was just Li Qi who pulled him here, so he had to come.
"Yes, what Governor Li said makes sense. We have absorbed many Goryeo craftsmen, scholars and women at this moment. If you want more, you are probably the young and strong. Unfortunately, your highness is not among them. I wonder if we can do this. We will move some Goryeo people to work in Yizhou. In addition, some young and strong people are born in Yizhou. Also, Commander Zhang, can your navy go up the river? Many places occupied by the Mongols in the north have many Han people."
As soon as these words were said, Zhang Qing was stumped. It is true that he was the naval commander near the coast of China, but his recent goal was to plunder Fusang and establish a Marine Corps. If he led his fleet up the river and ran to the north but was blocked by the Song Dynasty and could not come back, that wouldn't it be a big trouble. But he couldn't refuse directly. After all, from a certain perspective, this was to solve the problem for Li Yan and Pu Jinshu. He, as the navy commander, could not give up 625.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Qing had a solution. Although he could not go up the river, because it might affect Zhao Fubo's plan, he could rob him along the coast. After thinking about it, he nodded and said to the two.
"I don't think it's the land of the Jin people. For example, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were originally the land of the Song Dynasty. If the foolish king Zhao Gou had hurt Yue Wang Wu Mu, I was afraid that there would have been liberated. I think people still miss the Han people. I saw that there would be better, and it also meets the requirements of His Highness to show our strength. If I went up the river and were locked by someone with an iron chain in Hengjiang, I would be a little trouble!"
Pu Jinshu knew that what Zhang Qing said was a mature move. And it was a bit difficult to say whether the words going north of the Yangtze River would affect Zhao Fubo's plan. Therefore, he immediately agreed with Zhang Qing's words. Although the Han people on the original Jin land were bullied by the Jin and Mongols for a long time, they may not be as easy as those of the Han people in other places.
When Li Yan heard this, he praised the idea very much. In his heart, he was not very willing to come to his Yizhou. It is said that it is easy to invite God but difficult to send God. After living a good life here in the future, they are unwilling to go back to Goryeo. In their bones, they may not necessarily regard themselves as Han people. Although they can be assimilated, it is a problem after all.
But Yuan Youyun Sixteen Prefectures was not a problem. Although the people there had been Jin people for a long time, they were not much different from the people in Yizhou. And they could fill in the people from Jeju Island, and the original people on Jeju Island could go to other places. In this way, all the population tasks arranged by Zhao Fubo were solved at this moment.
After feeling relieved, Li Feng simply toasted Zhang Qing and Pu Jinshu with tea instead of wine. A happy smile appeared on his face. No matter what, he had fulfilled Zhao Fubo's order.
"Mr. Pu's solution is no matter how good it is. I think it's decided, but I just have to work on Brother Zhang's navy. If this problem is solved, even if I go to my great difficulties, I will toast you two with tea instead of wine!"
Of course, Pu Jinshu was also happy, indeed, this would solve a considerable problem. After all, it was no exaggeration to the people in the Jin area. In the past, the so-called Song Dynasty official army only had territory, but now the "Chinese Army" only had people. This is a big difference. Even Pu Jinshu's eyes turned like a shady person and actually changed his mind to him again.
"Two, celebrate slowly. I thought of another way. We might as well take it out of each state and one county. You just think about it. If we rob everyone, what will the Mongolian Tartars do if they want that deserted wasteland?"
Pu Jinshu's words came out, which scared Zhang Qing and Li Yu. Because this trick was really bad, and it was so bad. Those foolish emperors always only had land, but they loved killing the people. Now without the people, they couldn't even eat water, so what a bullshit. And the Mongolians would only want land without the people unless their heads were broken.
"Well, this trick is really high. If Mr. Pu's method is implemented, I am afraid that if the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will naturally be restored. Yes, what should the land without the people be produced? High, it is really high!"
With the praise of Li Yan, the problem of a large population was solved. Moreover, the war between Mongolia and Jin ended in 1234. After more than twenty years, a generation has grown up. Since that is the case, we will arrest them all!
At this point, the population problem has been solved, although the solution is a means that people in this era can never think of. But it cannot be doubted that when the land and labor force are separated, the land is not worth a penny!
