Immigration to the border is a century-old plan... Especially in the Northeast, it is related to whether the occupation is stable and whether there is greater stamina to expand northward.
At present, the land situation is loose, and until the population does not increase significantly, there will not be a large amount of surplus labor. Moreover, considering the bitter cold in the Northeast, I am afraid that immigrants would rather choose the provinces such as Mae Phraya and River Valley than go to the outside world to suffer.
The suffering of the frontier. If we want people to go to the mountains and countryside, we must introduce more encouraging policies and provide better conditions.
This again comes down to finances, such as building houses, building roads, seeds, cattle, etc. It is related to the enthusiasm of immigrants, but it also costs a lot.
Let's do it step by step! Looking at the new statistical report from the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Yongxing made an estimate and felt that it would have to wait until at least next year, when the restoration and reconstruction of the Northland reaches the expected goal, before large-scale immigration can be realized. And now,
We can only temporarily rely on the army to guard the borders.
However, the new incentive policy can be launched in advance to give the people time to think or prepare. The preferential intensity of the policy is indeed unprecedented. Although some people will inevitably object, it was still 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 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 can each receive ten acres of private land and receive thirty acres of free farming.
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 local harvest will be repaid within ten years; to those who immigrate to Liaodong, the government will build houses and provide them with pots, bowls, ladles, basins and other daily necessities, as well as cotton-padded clothes, quilts and other cold-keeping items, all will be distributed free of charge by the government..."
The imperial edict was issued and the official newspaper was issued. 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 suddenly become small landowners with dozens or even hundreds of acres from nothing. For those who are capable, more emphasis will be placed on granting them.
To become an official, more than a hundred people are required. It is not too many. There is no need to take the imperial examination or enter the academy, 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, and challenging people's adventurous spirit. After all, Liaodong is on the border, the war with the Tartars has not yet ended, and the natural environment is also harsh.
What may provide some comfort and give people a sense of security is the "Regulations on the Management of Civilian Firearms" promulgated by the imperial court. It was also first tried among immigrants from Liaodong. Men of appropriate age and good health must undergo a two-week period.
Military training. Master the use of flintlock muskets, and the government will issue gun licenses and issue guns. In addition to the daily patrols, security and other tasks arranged by the local government, these immigrants who receive guns will also undergo military training every year.
During the free time in autumn and winter, the government organizes a week-long training exercise and provides a fixed subsidy.
In other words, behind the implementation of the "Civilian Firearms Management Measures", there is the shadow of the compulsory military service system, or it is a rehearsal and attempt. It is both a reserve of soldiers and the nature of all people being soldiers. Zhu Yongxing hopes that through this step-by-step measure,
Penetrate martial courage and bloody spirit into the soul of the Chinese nation.
Considering financial factors, although the incentive policy for real-border immigration will take effect next year, another method has 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.
There have been provisions for military garrison rewards for a long time, but now they have been strengthened. For retired officers and soldiers who choose to settle in Liaodong, housing and daily necessities will be provided by the government, and a hundred acres of land will be granted. Military garrison or military merit rewards will be calculated separately, and ten of them will be taken for reclamation.
Sixth, tax exemption for fifteen years, horses, cattle and other livestock can be bought at half price, and the repayment period is ten years...
The most pacifying measure was to buy 500 young women each from Korea and Japan, grant them the status of Ming people, and gather them in Jinzhou to receive Chinese training, which would relieve the biggest worries of retired officers and soldiers who settled in Liaodong.
The Japanese country in Korea was so poor that they didn't even have enough to eat. I heard that they wanted to marry into the Ming Dynasty. Not to mention they were eager to get married, but many Korean and Japanese parents were very willing to do so. Not only did they get money, but they also gave their daughters a good life.
In the future, maybe I can get a Ming Dynasty "green card" and become a Ming Dynasty person!
The reason why we chose Korean and Japanese women is very simple. The women of 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 can adapt better.
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.
"Why don't I 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? You can't.
Forced?"
"It's not that women are picky, it's the resistance from their families," compatriot Zhang Shihua argued.
"Then what can you do?" Zhu Yongxing kicked the ball back again. Anyway, he had nothing good 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 allow prospective women to freely choose their husbands."
"Nonsense." Zhu Yongxing rolled his eyes and said: "The orders of parents and the words of matchmakers are traditions and not legal provisions. How can they be forcibly banned by the government? The key to this issue is concepts, people's old concepts, ideas
Is it easy to change?"
"It's not easy, but it has to be changed slowly!" Zhang Shihua said stubbornly: "Long live, I think it's 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 forcefully: "The prohibition on the sale of people is for the people of the Ming Dynasty. It does not apply to foreigners! That, the court will not publicize to the outside world, only let the soldiers of the Northeast Military Region know. By the way -" I saw
Zhang Shihua opened his mouth to argue again, but Zhu Yongxing quickly continued: "As for you, you need to publicize this independent marriage more and let the people change their minds. Do you know about rehearsing plays, making up songs, the peacock flying southeast, and some foreign Juliet?
What a good subject!”
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 come to Ziguang Pavilion."
Oh, Zhu Yongxing suddenly understood. He stood up and said to Zhang Shihua: "Zhang Qing, that's all for today. If you have any ideas, please write a statement."
"Long live, there is still the matter of opening a school, the Ministry of Household Affairs 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 appreciated or disliked it, so she said cautiously: "The time is still short, and everyone is restrained, so it's hard to tell what his temper and temperament are. However, Shi Hua was born overseas, so he thinks and acts accordingly.
Isn’t it different from others?”
"Well, I think there is nothing wrong with being stubborn. It looks like you are sincere in doing things." Zhu Yongxing smiled faintly and said: "Women, if you want to break through tradition, you need such an example. That Li Yingmei is also good, the book is reading
It’s a little bit less, but it’s straightforward and neat.”
"Your Majesty always has a unique way of looking at people and things." He Shulan said with a smile: "It is precisely because of Long Live Yingming and Shenwu that the ministers below have a place to show their talents, and famous ministers and generals emerge in large numbers."
"This is a cliché." Zhu Yongxing waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "But history has to say this. Those emperors also thought so. They produced capable and famous ministers, which is also a wise monarch. Well, I don't
I will not be stingy with rewards if I seize the merits of my officials, but I will not tolerate them if they violate the laws of the country. Whether they are traitors or loyal, everyone walks his own way, and I have nothing to do with it."
"Long live benevolence, but if you have a conscience, your ministers will not dare to deceive you." 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's message is indeed safe today. It's time to see how the time has come. How can any minister keep Long live waiting?" He Shulan pursed her lips in a funny way and said, "Long live is busy with official work, so there is no need to make any excuses.
.”
Zhu Yongxing smiled to himself, but when he saw He Shulan's charming appearance, he couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Even though the girl in the Mood for Love is average-looking, she still exudes an alluring youthful atmosphere, not to mention He Shulan is 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.
The transformation of Liaodong into Liaoning Province began when Lu Wenyang took office. Although the frontline fighting continued and half of Liaoning was still unrecovered, judging from the situation, it was difficult for the Manchus to hold on to Shenyang, and they were no match for the Ming army.
Fight to the death, or continue to retreat and make a long-term plan to "keep the green hills alive without fear of running out of firewood".
