Daming Crazy Emperor

Taichang has not announced to the world for a long time, because he has been fighting abroad for the past few years, and he is not in the Ming Dynasty at all.

However, this time he personally wrote an imperial edict, ordered people to take the train to the capital, sent it to the cabinet, and then the cabinet issued it, rubbed it into a circular, and sent it to all the prefectures and counties in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty .

The content of the imperial edict is quite a lot, and it is not clear in the telegram, which is why he sent someone to the capital.

Of course, the main meaning of the edict is only one, that is to distribute the land in the Xibo Province, or to encourage the people in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty to farm in the Xibo Province.

Originally, the common people of Ming Dynasty knew nothing about the sudden appearance of Xibo Province. They didn't even know whether Xibo Province was in the west or north.

Fortunately, several consecutive issues of "Le Monde" have carried out detailed reports on Xibo Province.

Xibo Province is a newly developed territory of Ming Dynasty. Its area is more than twice as large as that of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of Ming Dynasty, and the land there is fertile, with billions of acres of fertile land.

More importantly, the land there is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many people at all. After Daming defeated the remnants of the Mongolian and Yuan forces there, almost all the fertile land was empty there.

In addition, the scenery there is beautiful, the river system is developed, the mountains are densely covered with forests, and there are countless kinds of fish and wild animals.

If you go fishing, you can cast a net of at least a dozen catties, and a few nets will be enough to eat for several days.

If you go hunting, all kinds of mountain delicacies can hit you so hard that you can’t carry it on your back.

In short, "Le Monde" described it as a fairyland on earth, and even the ice and snow in winter was described as a rare grand scene.

The description in "World News" naturally whetted the appetite of the people of Ming Dynasty. Many people wanted to go to Xibo Province to see how beautiful it is.

Immediately afterwards, the circular from the cabinet arrived.

The Ming emperor announced it to the world.

Xibo Province has been fully incorporated into the territory of Ming Dynasty, and billions of acres of fertile land are in urgent need of development.

People in the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty can apply to farm in the Xibo Province, and the Ming court will provide various discounts and conveniences.

Anyone who is willing to go there, no matter men, women, old or young, will be given one hundred acres of fertile land and one cattle.

Those who moved the whole family will also be given a house for free to ensure that they are warm in winter and cool in summer.

There are also various household items and daily necessities, which are all given away for free, as long as you go there with a change of clothes.

However, the speed at which cities and houses can be built over there is limited, and the number of people who migrate each time is also limited. If you want to migrate there, you must hurry up.

Moreover, in order to ensure the local population of Daming, the number of places to migrate is limited.

This time, only 2000 million people will be recruited, and registration will be stopped when the number is full.

As for the cultivated land left by each household after the migration, all must be sold to the Ming court, and the Ming court will purchase it at market price, and then redistribute it according to the population left behind in the local area.

This time, the two capitals and the thirteen provinces exploded again.

The common people of Daming were all overwhelmed with excitement.

This kind of good thing, many people can't wait for it!

Free cattle, free housing, free household items and daily necessities, and [-] acres of fertile land for each person, this is not a big fortune!

One hundred acres of fertile land per person, five hundred acres for a family of five!

Even if 1000 mu of fertile land is cultivated for one season a year, the grain income is more than [-] shi. After deducting the [-]-[-] tax, there will be at least [-] shi left.

Even if it is one tael of silver and four stones, there is more than 200 taels of income a year.

Soon, the common people who signed up to farm in Xibo Province flocked to the prefectural and county government offices, and the number made one's scalp tingle.

Of course, Taichang's move is more than that.

It was announced to the world that it was for the common people to read. At the same time, the cabinet also issued an official document, which spread throughout the prefectures and counties of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, as well as schools and colleges of all sizes.

The focus of the official document is to replace tax-free land. All tax-free land under the names of scholars, Juren, and Jinshi must be turned over to the court immediately.

The imperial court will set aside more than twice the original tax-free land in Xibo Province as a replacement.

The tax-free land under the name of a scholar changed from [-] mu to [-] mu, the tax-free land under the name of a scholar changed from [-] mu to [-] mu, and the tax-free land under the name of a Jinshi changed from [-] mu to [-] mu.

This is different from that of the common people. The common people can go as long as they want, but the land under the names of scholars, Juren and Jinshi must be transferred to Xibo Province.

In other words, this is mandatory, and if you don’t want to, you have to replace it. If it doesn’t make sense, then the tax-free land under your name will be confiscated, so that you can’t get anything!
However, in order to appease these scholars, Taichang also specially added some incentives.

This incentive is very simple, that is, the relatives sent by scholars, Juren and Jinshi to take care of the land under their names can apply for [-] mu of land and preferential measures for each person, just like ordinary people.

Moreover, the imperial court will give priority to the migration of these people according to the development progress there.

As for the tenant farmers who cultivated land for them, the imperial court will also arrange for the Mughal province to recruit them. As long as they want as many as they want, they only need to report the number, and the imperial court will transport them to Xibo province for free when they migrate.

This condition is quite good, as long as you are not a scholar who has lost your mind, you will definitely agree.

Anyway, they are not going to farm, and their income can be more than doubled easily. Who would disagree with normal people?
As for those whose brains are flooded, there is nothing to say, such people cannot be allowed to be officials.

Not only will the imperial court take back the tax-free land under his name, but it will also find a reason to erase his reputation!
Taichang has never been merciless to such scholars who dare to oppose.

The common people who signed up in the mainland of Ming Dynasty were quite enthusiastic, and it didn't take long for the 2000 million places to be robbed.

The construction of the canal in Xiber Province was completed soon, and the families of the second batch of soldiers from the Southeast Battalion had already arrived.

The next step is to quickly build the city, and quickly move the remaining families of the soldiers of the Southeast Camp and the families of the soldiers of the North Day Camp to prepare for the migration of ordinary people.

This time, their plan to build the city seems to have to be changed, because the family members of the soldiers of the North Day Camp and the Southeast Camp, plus the people who migrated from the Ming Dynasty, plus the hired labor from the Mughal Province, the population is at least 4000 Ten thousand.

It is naturally impossible for so many people to live in the city.

Moreover, most of these people have to farm and graze, and it is not convenient to live in the city.

No way, Taichang can only recruit Yuan Keli, Cao Bianjiao, Song Yingxing and others to the Flying Dragon battleship, and then discuss and discuss.

After everyone gathered, he immediately said solemnly: "There is no need to worry about the population issue now, in three years at most, the population here will exceed 3000 million.

However, our plan to build the city does need to be changed.

I think we don't need to build so many cities.

We can completely build some small settlements according to the location of the cultivated land and the distribution of the grasslands.

This kind of settlement should be called Tun. As for the name of Tun, it can be decided by the common people after they migrate here. "

After that, he took a piece of map paper, spread it on the middle table, and explained while drawing: "We can build a large greenhouse with a length of twenty or thirty feet first, and then build a large greenhouse on both sides of the greenhouse. Build five courtyards.

Such a row is ten families, and then connected to the left and right through the warm walkway.

A village is about ten miles in radius, that is, more than [-] mu of land, and we can arrange for nearly a thousand ordinary people and relatives of several families of scholars.

In this way, a village is about [-] households.

We only need to build five large greenhouses in each row, and then open the main road in the middle, and build four rows in total.

What do you think? "

Uh, this is good, but it is too costly and laborious.

Song Yingxing looked at the sketch drawn by Taichang, and then said carefully: "Your Majesty, this place to live is good, but it takes too much manpower and material resources.

2000 million people is [-] settlements!

Where did we get so many people to build so many settlements? "

Taichang calmly said: "Didn't I say that we can reduce the number of cities appropriately.

Anyway, the main function of the city is defense, we only need to build more than a dozen cities in key places first.

At this moment, five cities have been built on the Ebei River side, and three cities have been built on the Yeni River side. As long as three more cities are built on the Ural Mountains side, it will be three lines of defense.

There must be no problem with these three lines of defense against the Continental League.

This year, you can let the soldiers of the Southeast Camp and their families go all out to build settlements, and build the residences for the remaining families of the soldiers of the Southeast Camp and the families of the soldiers of the Beida Camp. The remaining three cities in the Ural Mountains will be given to Beida It is enough for the elite battalion to build it.

Next year we can let these soldiers take their families to build ordinary settlements for the common people.

Isn't that enough people? "

Uh, this kind of people is almost enough. The question is, why do people go all out to build settlements and settlements?
Song Yingxing thought for a while, then said cautiously: "Your Majesty, we originally agreed that the families of the soldiers of the Southeast Camp are here to farm and graze.

It would make sense if they were allowed to build cities and houses for themselves, but it would be a bit bad to ask them to build settlements for the people who migrated now, right? "

If people are allowed to contribute in vain, they will naturally have opinions.

Taichang still calmly said: "We can start wages, five taels of silver a month, they have no objection?"

Oh my god, how much does this cost?

Song Yingxing couldn't help being surprised and said: "Your Majesty, isn't this too expensive?
We also have to provide them with cattle, sheep, horses, household items and daily necessities for free, which is already a huge expense. "

This investment is really too big, hundreds of millions of taels a year can't beat it!
If it were the former Daming, it would probably collapse if it was so aggressive for a month.

Taichang calmly looked at Zhu Cihong who was listening carefully, and then explained in detail: "Chang Geng, a country can't just focus on money.

Didn't I say it a long time ago, no matter how much money you have, if you let it go and don't spend it, isn't that the same as having no money?
Therefore, we can't be stingy, we have to spend the money that should be spent.

Especially in the construction of this kind of infrastructure, we should not be stingy about investing.

As long as we can develop Siberia within three years, won't the money spent be earned back soon? "

Hearing this, Zhu Cihong couldn't help but nodded thoughtfully.

Song Yingxing also hastily cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

They were discussing, Wang Chengen suddenly walked over with a telegram, and whispered in his ear: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of War has an urgent message."

Is this something big?

Taichang took a look at the telegram and couldn't help but be overjoyed.

It turned out that the news from the Ministry of War was good news.

After Sun Chengzong received the support of 20 Daizi rifles and [-] rounds of ammunition, he was in full swing, and quickly pacified Hami, Yilibali and other places.

At this moment, the entire Western Region has been taken down by him!

And after Lu Xiangsheng took Kabul, he marched very fast, and almost all the small countries in Central Asia were conquered by him.

Then it seems that the Golden Horde is left.

Taichang thought for a while, and then said decisively: "Decree, order Sun Chengzong to join Lu Xiangsheng quickly and prepare to attack the Golden Horde Khanate!"
