Chapter 159: The Perseverance of the First Emperor
Looking at the Heshi Bi above the portal, this is the protection for entering this portal. It tells everyone accurately that he does not welcome people from the martial arts world to enter.
Under such circumstances, if you insist on coming in, you are seeking death, and you are willing to fulfill it.
Groups of people kept pouring out of the portal. Thousands of people came out of the portal thousands of meters long every minute.
But these people are completely different from the strong labor force that Zhao Wen thought. It can be said that they are men, women, old and young, and many of them are obviously members of the same family. It is obvious that Zhu Wuwu sent all the refugees over at once.
However, when he thought that what he wanted was one million in labor, Zhu Wuwu sent over some old, weak, sick and disabled people. Looking across the door, Zhao Wen's face began to turn gloomy.
This portal can communicate with each other. If Zhu Wuwu thinks that he has left the first world in the world, he can deal with him as he pleases. I really don't mind going there again and telling Zhu Wuwu that I am very dissatisfied with him.
All of Zhu Wuli's pride came from his martial arts. Without this support, Zhao Wen really wanted to see if he could still be as domineering as he is now.
The Wanjin guards continued to take people to a distance, while the eunuchs in the East Factory set out their desks one by one and started to register.
Zhao Wen, an ordinary person who came from the Ming Dynasty, will naturally not worry, but he will not forget that scholars in the Ming Dynasty are quite common. If there are a few scholars among them, and something comes out, although he does not care, he will
Can create doubts in some people's minds.
People brought by him from the passage will be instilled with a sense of loyalty to him, but these people who come to each other from the portal will not have such a sense, so Zhao Wen naturally has to pay attention.
And these Dongchang eunuchs want to select all the scholars and try their best to avoid accidents.
On the other side, the deputy commander of the Shaofu has urgently arranged for people to deliver a large amount of food. Not only these refugees, but also the Jinyiwei and Dongchang people who were brought here this time have been hungry for several days.
On the other side, several people in the cabinet have arranged for the officials to take the first people to go to the place arranged by the cabinet. After all, His Majesty said that there are at least one million people. With so many people, the young government is absolutely unable to arrange them all.
Scholars in the distance were constantly being selected and sent to the other side, but more people were scattered by the Young Master and the Cabinet.
The crowd kept pouring out, growing in number. From day to night, Zhao Wen stood quietly in front of the huge portal and watched the crowd coming out. Now the number of people has exceeded one million, but the people coming out are still missing.
There is no slowdown at all.
On the other side, with such a huge portal and the fact that the emperor and the three cabinet members had not returned all day, the First Emperor also came over and stood next to Zhao Wen, looking expectantly at the people who kept pouring out, but
The eyes he looked at Zhao Wen from time to time were filled with extremely complicated emotions.
Although he knew that his son was extraordinary, the huge portal in front of him and the people that kept pouring out were far beyond the extraordinary concept in his mind.
For the First Emperor, population meant a sufficient number of warriors and laborers, as well as the foundation of a country. Now that the Qin Dynasty suddenly had millions more people, this was definitely a big deal.
But my son, who I had watched grow up, suddenly had such a magical ability. Not only could he bring powerful people from other worlds, but he could also bring common people. Understand the reasons why. This is comparable to what these common people had for the First Emperor.
Say it is more important.
The current First Emperor would never think that the powerful men like Jin Yiwei and Dongchang who suddenly appeared next to Zhao Wen had defected from Chu.
On the first day, crowds of people continued to pour in. No matter the officials of the Shaofu, the cabinet officials, or even the local officials who were urgently summoned from various places to receive the people, everyone looked excited.
The Shaofu needs manpower to cultivate the land in the farm, and also needs a large number of laborers to build His Majesty's palace. The emperor does not even have a palace now, which is definitely the Shaofu's biggest dereliction of duty.
As for the cabinet, it goes without saying that one more citizen means one more person to pay taxes, and also one more tax revenue.
As for officials from various places, population growth has always been the focus of assessing officials' abilities. Now that there are so many more people, this year's assessment will at least have no problems with population growth.
On the second day, the crowds continued to pour out. Although everyone looked tired, their mood was still exciting.
On the third day, the number of people who came out not only did not decrease, but showed signs of increasing. The faces of the young government officials, the cabinet, and the officials summoned had bitterness on their faces, but they still continued to disperse the people who came out.
On the fourth day, there was still no sign of reduction, and even Zhao Wen's face began to look ugly.
There are at least more than one million people every day, and it has been four days in a row. Not to mention anything else, except that it is food for so many people, and it is not easy to get it out at once.
"There is a big disaster in the northwest of the Ming Dynasty. Do you estimate how many people Zhu Wuwu will send over?" Zhao Wen called Wan Sanqian over and asked in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, despite the drought in the northwest in recent years, there will never be so many refugees. However, because of the drought, there are many extremely poor victims. I estimate that in order to curry favor with you, Zhu Wuli will send all the poor people he can find around the door to
come over!"
Speaking of this, Wan Sanqian made a rough calculation and then whispered: "If only the people from the surrounding counties plus the refugees are included, the number will be five million at most. But if Zhu Wuwu drives all the poor people from the northwest, at least
It’s also worth tens of millions of dollars!”
"I'll have all the grain stored in the palace's warehouses delivered over!" After hearing Qian Qian's instructions, the First Emperor's expression changed, and he immediately turned around and began to make arrangements for the eunuch next to him.
Such a quantity has far exceeded the current reception limit of the Qin Dynasty. If nothing else, it is just a piece of food, which is a huge trouble.
"Don't be impatient. Population is the foundation of a country. The greater the number, the better. If they dare to send it, we will accept it. There will always be a way to properly arrange it!"
The First Emperor's face was filled with perseverance. Although, like Zhao Wen, he had been standing at the entrance for several days without rest, there was no trace of fatigue in his eyes, and instead there was a bit of passion after encountering a challenge.
"Rice can be grown four times a year in Chu District. I started planting it in large quantities when I was in Jiujiang. Even pumpkins, potatoes, sweet potatoes and corn have been spread throughout Chu District. Even if he sends it to many places, Daqin will still have enough.
The food can accommodate these people!"
Zhao Wen had decided that if Zhu Wuli really wanted to send tens of millions of people, the worst he could do was work harder, transform into a porter, and use the stone gate to bring the grain from Chu.
Anyway, there are ten sea ships going to Chu Di, so they should all be on their way. At his current speed, he can make a round trip in one day!
