Flowers on the other side [Comprehensive Red House]

No objection was expressed.

Based on the experience of foreign races in this land, which has been confined to the remote frontier for more than a thousand years, those who can participate in the Xiaochaohui agree with the meaning of the sentence "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different", and also understand the meaning of this sentence. The words hurt deeply.

A little closer is the Jiannu who regards the people of Liaodong as property like cattle and sheep, and the Mongols who are farther away treat the Han people as two-legged sheep.

There are also the recent rebellions by the Yi people and native people, and the Han people who suffered in these rebellions are all proofs that they are not recognized as human beings.

Ye Xianggao saw that there was no objection, so he took out his tablet and continued to read: "Last year, at the request of the Ministry of Household Affairs, all provinces conducted another census of arable land and population. The current population of Ming Dynasty is already two and a half times that of Hongwu four years ago. In particular, the number of breeding populations in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lianghu, and Guangdong is the largest. The total number of breeding populations in provinces has exceeded three times.

Because Sichuan had immigrated to Sichuan several times during the Hongwu period, the population of Chengdu was more than ten times that of the Hongwu period.Considering that the starting base is very small, it is not considered in the relocation of the people this time.

Your Majesty, I have comprehensively considered the constraints of regions, climate adaptation and other conditions, and think that it is more appropriate to relocate the population of Fujian to Luzon, and the people of Guangdong and Guangxi to Annan.The re-immigrant population in Xinyuan Province is mainly from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. At the same time, it is more suitable for the people from Shandong and Beizhili to consider migrating to Liaodong and North Korea. "

Such a large-scale migration of flowers everywhere has never happened in the history of Ming Dynasty.

Xu Guangqi stood up and endorsed Ye Xianggao.

"Your Majesty, I have investigated the relationship between the yield of arable land and the annual planting density in Gyeonggi and Jiangnan in the past ten years. Although good varieties such as Champa rice can increase yield, the fertility of cultivated land will still have an impact on soil fertility even if it is supplemented with fertilizers." In cooperation with Bi Shilang from the household department, I selected [-] plowed fields in a farm in the suburbs of Beijing for testing: the same mature field, the first one is cultivated once a year, and the second one is planted once after the rice is harvested Autumn vegetables, the third kind is cultivated twice a year, that is, planting winter wheat again after harvesting rice.

Comparing the three farming methods, the rice straw stubble is also burned, and the same amount of fertilizer is applied. The first farming method will increase the output by about [-]% in the second year compared to the previous year, far exceeding the third rice. Combined with winter wheat production.Moreover, the grains of the rice received are plump and taste the best. Nearly half of the rice can be used as fine varieties.

With the second cultivation method, the output and taste of the rice produced are in the middle, but the autumn vegetables planted afterwards can meet the needs of the people in winter.After harvesting autumn vegetables, giving the soil three months of cultivation will also help restore soil fertility.

The total income of the first two kinds of cultivation for five years exceeds the output value of the third kind of non-stop cultivation for consecutive years.Not only is it easy for the imperial court to recruit a sufficient number of river workers in winter, or to renovate canals to prepare for farming in the coming year, or to dredge rivers in various places, but the common people can also get a few days of rest in winter.

Therefore, the minister suggested that when the court had enough territory for the people to cultivate and live in, he seconded Ye Shoufu to move the people from densely populated areas to new places for farming. "

Bi Ziyan stood up and bowed his hands to the emperor, proving that what Xu Guangqi said was true, and then sat back.

Ye Xianggao nodded to Xu Guangqi, thanking him for his supplement to his proposal, and then continued.

"Your Majesty, Xu Shilang and Bi Shilang consider long-term aspects such as land strength, while I mainly consider long-term stability.

If there are not enough Han people, even if the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi is re-established again, if there is another person with evil intentions like Li Shi, it will still cause turmoil in Jiaozhi and even the entire Annan area.Even the chief secretary of Cochin will reappear the scene that had to be withdrawn last time, so that the court has to repeatedly invest military and financial resources to maintain it.

From a long-term perspective, for the sake of future generations, since it is impossible for the imperial court to continue to station heavy troops in Annan, the minister suggested that after the restoration of the Chief Secretary of Jiaozhi, it is the best policy for the residents of Annan to take the Han people as the main ethnic group.

The old minister suggested that Zhang Zhiyi, the hero of the imperial court's recovery of Annan, should be canonized as Marquis;

Canonize Lu Song as the Marquis of Sun Chengzong, the hero who opened up the territory and became a province of the Ming Dynasty.

The canonization added the Marquis of Nanju Yiyi, the hero of the Chief Secretary of Xinyuan, to the imperial court. "

Ye Xianggao's three proposals are based on Zhang Zhilin's military exploits in North Korea.As for whether it is hereditary, he didn't mention it. It was a gift that the emperor considered for his courtiers.

The British government's ability to obtain the title of hereditary duke is absolutely related to Zhang Fu's contribution in Jiaozhi.However, as generals, Zhang Zhifang and Zhang Zhifeng brothers, like Sun Chengzong and Nan Juyi, the two third-rank officials, made contributions to the artillery developed by His Majesty, Huang Kezuan, Xu Guangqi, etc. There is a big difference between the difficult hero Xinchenghou's three battles in Jiaozhi.

But no matter how you say it, these few hereditary marquises are not too much based on their merits in opening up Xinjiang.

"According to Ye Shoufu's proposal for knighthood, I think Huang Qing and Xu Qing, who played a decisive role in the development of artillery, should also be considered for knighthood. This matter will be discussed at the next small court meeting."

The monarch and his ministers looked at each other, with a tacit understanding, and it was self-evident that the impact on Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi's title will be produced.Looking at Ye Xianggao who was seated, Zhu Youxiao admired in his heart that such a chief minister is a qualified minister to assist the emperor.

Ye Xianggao praised in his heart: If Your Majesty has the heart, he will naturally reward Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi with titles.

Because the benefits of doing so are self-evident.The imperial court no longer has to force scholars to learn mathematics and other subjects. With the example of Huang Kezuan and Xu Guangqi in front, more students will naturally work hard for high officials and titles.

Cui Jingrong stood up and proposed: "Your Majesty, I think that Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Yongchun should also be named earls based on their military exploits in Liaodong."

Since ancient times, civil servants have rarely been promoted to titles based on their military exploits, but Cui Jingrong's suggestion hit Zhu Youxiao's heart.Several heroes who opened up the territory should be rewarded, but Xiong Tingbi and Zhou Yongchun were able to make correct responses when Liaodong was in danger, stabilize the situation in Liaodong, defend Liaodong, and then properly handle and recover the entire territory of Liaodong. Remuneration for meritorious service is definitely an encouragement to other civil servants.

Seeing no objection, Zhou Jiamo got up and said, "Your Majesty, the veteran thinks that these few should be granted the title of Marquis or Bo. But the veteran wants to ask whether to wait for Annan, Luzon, and North Korea to settle down?

The veteran also had another proposal, which was to order Zhang Zhifeng to guard Jiaozhi, and at the same time send half of the officials from Guangxi to Jiaozhi with the migrating people, which would help stabilize the situation in Jiaozhi.It is also easy to assimilate the remnants of the Zheng family in the Later Li Dynasty. "

Cui Jingrong immediately stood up and retorted: "Your Majesty thinks that someone should be sent to remind Zhang Zhifeng that he should follow the example of Liaodong and North Korea. This is the best strategy for long-term stability. The people who migrated from Guangxi can live and work in peace and contentment.

The minister seconded the proposal to send half of the officials in Guangxi to Jiaozhi.It is also better to transfer officials needed by Luzon from Guangdong. "

Zhao Bingzhong looked at Cui Jingrong and was not discouraged in front of Zhou Jiamo, and couldn't help feeling that he still had a long way to go.Every time the old department hall arrested him to confront those seniors, he always had lingering fears, and he didn't dare to argue with reason or be confrontational.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it and said: "The matter of conferring titles will be discussed at the next Xiaochaohui, and the matter of transferring officials will also be discussed at the next Xiaochaohui. Today, we will first decide on the matter of relocating the people. From where to move, specifically How to move, should we continue the old policy of drawing out two out of four."

After some discussion, the Xiaochaohui decided to adopt the mature immigration policy of taking two out of four out of four. After the Ministry of Household Affairs checked the population yellow books of the counties to be immigrated, it was dispatched to the provinces for immediate implementation.

Because the relocation involved too many counties, Zhou Jiamo, as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, suggested that the imperial court cancel the population breeding indicator in the assessment of local officials, and replace it with the number of people who migrated and the proportion of the remaining population.

Although Zhou Jiamo's proposal was outside the agenda of this small court meeting, it was immediately approved.

At the same time as the number of immigrant population in each county was released, it became a conclusion that officials were dispatched to several new chief secretaries.The proportion of immigrants has become a new indicator for assessing the governing ability of local officials, and for a while all places have attached great importance to immigration.

In autumn, after three months of hard work, Yan'an Mansion successfully controlled the migratory locusts within the prefecture.After receiving the report that the autumn harvest was not affected by migratory locusts in the neighboring prefectures of Yan'an Mansion, Zhu Youxiao finally put back his heart that had been slipping away for three months.

At the same time, officials from all over Shaanxi sent memorials of droughts of various sizes in their jurisdictions, and although they tried their best to fight the drought, did not cause obvious harvest failures, they also flew to the capital like snowflakes.

Xu Guangqi made a suggestion at the Xiaochao meeting: "Your Majesty, the plague of migratory locusts in Shaanxi this year only involves Yan'an Prefecture. But I have researched all the local chronicles of the years when migratory locusts were infested for more than a thousand years. There were large-scale migratory locusts in the first one or two years. , Usually there will be a slightly small-scale drought. After the formation of migratory locusts, there will often be severe droughts that last for more than two or three years, or even longer.

Based on these experience conclusions, I suggest that people except the Weihe River, Jinghe River and other river basins with relatively large water flow, that is, the counties that have experienced drought due to insufficient rainfall this year, and the cultivated land cannot be effectively irrigated by nearby rivers, should be transferred to these counties. Immediate and proactive migration of the people can avoid a large number of displaced people due to poor harvests in the face of continuous drought.

At the same time, I believe that if the people of Shaanxi are relocated to Liaodong and North Korea now that autumn has entered, not only will there be accidents such as illness and death due to the difficult migration road and the colder and colder they go, but also more accidents will occur because of the difficulty of settling down in Liaodong in winter. die.

Therefore, I suggested that the people of Shaanxi should be accelerated to move out of the country, and the destination is to go to the south.It is best to take a boat from Shandong to Xinyuan Province. "

Xu Guangqi has been the minister of the Ministry of Industry for many years. His energy is mainly devoted to doing practical things, and he seldom participates in civil affairs at the Xiaochao meeting.But as long as he speaks, he speaks with data and examples.His words immediately tightened everyone's heartstrings.

Yes, locust plagues will only appear after continuous drought.The displaced people after a bad harvest will bring the prefectures and provinces that have not suffered from drought into chaos.

Zhu Youxiao immediately made a decision: "Xu Qing is right. Anyway, Shaanxi has been migrating people out of the country for the past few years, so don't stop this winter. The people in Pingliang Mansion and Fengxiang Mansion should be moved to Xinyuan or even Luzon first. Luzon The four seasons are warm, three crops a year, and even migrating to Qiongzhou is also a land of three crops a year. It is better than the next few years, the imperial court will continue to give relief to Shaanxi."

Huang Kezuan sighed: "If there were no sweet potatoes in the past few years, I am afraid that there will be refugees in Shaanxi this year."

Li Qiyuan stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Jiangsu and Henan have a bumper harvest this year, and the rice harvest in Jinmen is particularly gratifying. You can make up for the grain allocated from Yulinwei in Changping warehouse."

"What about the two lakes and Guangdong? Huguang is familiar, and the world is full."

Seeing the Son of Heaven asked about Huguang, Li Qiyuan replied: "Your Majesty, Guangdong, Guangxi and Lakes have two crops a year. The harvest in the last season was very good, and the harvest in the second season will have to wait another month before it will produce results."

Zhu Youxiao supported his forehead, "I've been dizzy these days. The government can only depend on your family."

Ye Xianggao smiled and cupped his hands, "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Others also wished the emperor congratulations.

Although the emperor and empress are young, and the prince is fat and smart, it is a happy event for the courtiers and the people to celebrate if the emperor has more sons.

After Zhu Youxiao said a few words of "Happiness together", he left the ministers to eat together.

The last time the queen was pregnant was after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, and it was reported by the wives of various families who entered the palace to receive the banquet.That time it was already pregnant.This time, it was because of the large number of people in the banquet room and the bad smell that caused morning sickness, that it was known to all the servants that she was pregnant again.

If the emperor does not announce that the queen is pregnant again, the courtiers will ignore it.From then on, the emperor often brought the prince to the Hall of Mental Cultivation when the topics of the small court meetings were not tense, and held them in his arms to discuss matters with the courtiers.The important ministers who often saw the prince wished that their children and grandchildren were as healthy as the prince.

But the queen didn't have any excessive morning sickness reaction last time, this time she vomited whatever she ate, even the porridge cooked by the emperor didn't work.The prince saw the empress when she vomited, and the prince hugged the empress and cried so hard that Zhu Youxiao coaxed the prince in Kunning Palace for several days.

A child who is less than two years old knows that he loves his mother, what else can a father do besides coaxing him!

In the eyes of the courtiers, Emperor Tianqi has been the most diligent emperor in the past few decades, and he has also made great achievements in state affairs.In special cases, some things were neglected.Talking and laughing after a delicious meal, the relationship is even more harmonious, and all the ministers are united to make Daming better.

The author has something to say: note that 1625 passed through safely.
