I have Futian in my heart

Chapter 761 The Solution
Although he didn't take it seriously in his heart, he still seemed extremely cautious in his tone.

Zheng Xiaoming laughed loudly when he heard the words: "Old Li! I remember you said that you were also an ordinary family back then, right? You were forced to enter the palace because of the disaster and the death of your family members?"

When Zheng Xiaoming called out to Old Li, Li Zhi's whole body was lightened, and he said with a smile: "My lord, what you said is that it happened more than forty years ago, when I was only thirteen years old. , now I see that I am over sixty...

My hair is all gray now, my lord, you are still so young. "

Zheng Xiaoming laughed loudly: "It's been so long, no wonder you can't remember it.

Believe it or not, as long as the people are divided into fields, not to mention too many, the family only has ten acres, not to mention that it snows here for half a year, even if it is half a year, some people will come! "

After being said by Zheng Xiaoming, Li Zhi suddenly seemed to recall a long time ago.

I remembered that before the disaster, my family of five planted more than an acre of Susukida, and rented two acres of land from Zhou Shan's family.

At that time, all the family was thinking about was how to save money, how to buy some more land, and make the family's more than one mu of Susukida into two mu.

At that time, if someone really wanted to divide the land, not to mention ten acres of land, even if it was five acres, they would run here even if they were knifed.

The people all over the world are really eager for this field!
Zheng Xiaoming said: "More than [-] years ago, the Ministry of Household Affairs conducted an inventory of the land and population in the world. The total land area is about [-] million mu, and the population is more than [-] million.

But without asking too much, you should know that there are still a large number of lands with a large population that have not been counted.

Let's count according to the statistics of the Ministry of Household Affairs, even if it is [-] million mu of land and [-] million people.

However, the year before last, Li Hongyu also asked someone to count the acres of land. Although it was not completely completed, and it only counted the area of ​​​​Northern Zhili, it was more than [-] million acres less than [-] years ago.

Where did these lands go, let's not investigate for now.But you can imagine, how much less land will there be in this world than it was more than [-] years ago? "

Li Zhi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, how did the number of acres decrease?It was nothing more than annexation of the land, which was divided up by the royal nobles, gentry and landlords.

But thinking that just one Beizhili has lost so much, how much will the entire world's acres be reduced?
It's not that I haven't thought about this kind of problem before, but occasionally I will shift when I think of it in a hurry, and I dare not think deeply.

This kind of thing, from the emperor to the cabinet ministers, knows more or less.But no one dared to think deeply and pursue it.

Because those who do these things are shareholders such as the royal family and nobles.Then came the cabinet ministers, the six senior officials, all the big and small officials, and the local gentry.

The entire ruling group is doing this kind of thing that harms the public and private interests, and is poaching the corners of this country!
Is no one aware of this problem?Of course they are all aware of it.But whoever dares to bring it up is an enemy of the entire ruling group.

Even if the emperor dared to touch this issue, it is estimated that the throne would not be secure.

Power is not granted by God, nor does it come from sitting in this position. Power comes from the support of the people below.If the people below support you, it will be beneficial...

And this is the benefit!
And the world seems to be able to hold on, at least there are no big troubles.So everyone acts like an ostrich and buys their heads into the sand.

Zheng Xiaoming asked again: "Then how much more do you think the world's population will be now than it was back then?"

Li Zhi's scalp was numb, and he didn't dare to think about it. A big Chu has many children, and it is normal for a family to have three or five children.

In the past thirty years, even if the population has increased by one-third, or even half, it is not surprising!
The land has decreased year after year, and the population has continued to increase.so what should I do now?How to deal with it?

Zheng Xiaoming pointed to the ground under his feet: "This is the solution!

Although the land of Ningbei is cold, the land is fertile.Even chopsticks can sprout in this black soil!

It shouldn't be a problem to resettle hundreds of millions of people! "

After being detoured in a big circle, Li Zhi finally understood and was persuaded: "This is a great thing that benefits the country and the people. Since the father-in-law is willing to do it, the lower officials are naturally willing to help!"

Zheng Xiaoming nodded slightly: "Very good!"

This kind of thing was revealed to Li Zhi, so he was naturally going to let the emperor know about it.

Otherwise, why spend so much effort to convince this person?
······
······
"Duke Xiayang really said that?" The emperor looked at the secret music sent by Li Zhi with a complicated expression on his face and asked.

The little eunuch who was kneeling below said: "The maidservant also heard that day, Lord Xiayang really said so!"

The emperor stood up and paced back and forth, he wanted to ask if the situation in this world is really so serious?
But reason told him that this kind of thing is probably inseparable.It's just that I never dared to think about it before.

I am afraid that his father, and even more emperors of the Great Chu Dynasty have thought about this kind of thing.

But none of them dared to touch this question. Most of their minds were like playing drums and passing flowers, as long as they didn't fall into their hands when the drums stopped.

In fact, the fierce partisanship among civil servant groups actually reflects the intensification of civil conflicts.

Both the North and the South want to compete for benefits for the people on their side.

There are also various governance ideas, radical reform ideas, conservative ideas, etc., which are entangled together, making the current court more and more fierce.

Faced with this situation, if the problem is not solved fundamentally, no matter how powerful the tactics are, it will not be able to maintain the balance of the court. Sooner or later, the ship will capsize!
Even Zheng Xiaoming's method is not a permanent solution, but a temporary solution.

Even if they immigrated tens of millions to the land of northern Liaoning, the pressure in the customs would be relieved.But what about another twenty or thirty years?

There are no fields in the land of Ningbei?It will still not work then.

But in any case, at least it can be done for [-] or [-] years, right?

The emperor walked back and forth, and finally said: "Please come in with some old gentlemen from the cabinet!"

This is to ask the cabinet scholars to discuss whether this matter can be done!
In fact, when the imperial court was arguing about this matter, Zheng Xiaoming had already made people increase the speed of immigration to Ningbei.Establish the established facts first.

In fact, he never thought that a behemoth like the imperial court could react so quickly.But as long as you don't hold back, it's fine.

Moreover, this kind of thing can at least win the approval of some courtiers!

What?You said such a good thing, why would someone in the court disagree?
That, of course, is because the cost of emigrating as if it were really large-scale is too high.

For classical empires, hundreds of thousands or millions of people were used for super-large projects, such as repairing the Great Wall, canals, and so on.Which one is not a good thing that works in the present and benefits in the future.
