Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

Zhu Biao was not in a hurry to return to Beijing.

He first told Yang Xian about the latest situation in Japan, and while chatting, the topic turned to the population.

Zhu Biao said: "According to what Uncle Xu said, Japan's Iwami Ginzan mining staff is still far from enough. The population of Izumo Country is too small and mining efficiency cannot be fully utilized to the maximum."

You know, this is digging for silver!

With one more person mining, the Ming court would have dozens or hundreds of taels more silver every day.

Moreover, Iwami Ginzan is not only rich in silver mines, but also rich in other metal ores.

Yang Xian said: "Can't we directly absorb the local Japanese people?"

Zhu Biao shook his head slightly and said: "At this time, I am absorbing a large number of Japanese people's words, and I am worried that there will be spies among them."

Especially when it is known that the other party covets the Daming Firearms, this method is obviously not the optimal solution.

"As for our Ming Dynasty, although the population has been rising in recent years with the recovery of national strength, the time is still too short after all. We can't find so many people migrating to Japan at this time."

What Zhu Biao was talking about was the current situation of the Ming Dynasty. If the population was really enough, it would not just occupy a small Izumo country, but directly knock down the entire Japan.

Yang Xian thought for a while and replied: "There is another way."

Hearing that there was a way, Zhu Biao immediately became energetic.

As expected of Yang Qing!

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Xian, his eyes shining.

Yang Xian slowly said: "Prisoners in prisons across the country can be sent to Japan for mining and labor service."

"Based on the amount of silver mined by the prisoners, their sentences can be appropriately reduced. After their sentences are over, they can also be allowed to take root in Japan. This will also lay the foundation for our full conquest of Japan in the future."

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, laws have been strict, and many people have been imprisoned over the years. In the past two years, prisons in various places have even begun to show signs of being overcrowded. If this trend continues, prisons will need to be expanded in various places in the future. .

Zhu Biao knew this very well, but he just didn't know how to solve it.

After all, in any dynasty, large-scale expansion of prisons is not a glorious thing.

Yang Xian's move is equivalent to killing multiple birds with one stone, and it can also solve the problem of overcrowded cells.

Zhu Biao immediately smiled and said: "Yang Qing's plan is very good!"

Yang Xian then said: "The only risk point of this method is whether various accidents will occur during the transportation of prisoners to Japan."

"I will ask the officer responsible for escorting to pay attention." Zhu Biao said.

Yang Xian and Zhu Biao talked a lot about this matter, trying not to make any mistakes, and even designed a special escort ship to escort prisoners.

So far, the problem of insufficient mining manpower in Shijian Yinshan has been solved, but the problem of insufficient population in Ming Dynasty still exists.

If it were the previous Ming Dynasty, this population would be completely sufficient now.

But now it is somewhat unable to keep up with the pace of Ming Dynasty's progress.

Zhu Biao looked at Yang Xian, hesitated for a moment, and then said: "The Fourth had something I didn't tell you before."

"What's going on?" Yang Xian asked curiously.

Zhu Biao said: "Since Laosi came into power, all policies have been implemented smoothly, except for one thing that has encountered considerable resistance."

"Which point?"

Policies flashed through Yang Xian's mind. It was he who formulated Zhu Di's policies to govern Mongolia. No one knew it better than him.

But Yang Xian thought for a while and still couldn't figure out which policy had the problem.

Zhu Biao replied: "It's an intermarriage between Mongols and Han."

After taking Mobei, Yang Xian made a suggestion in order to allow the Mongols to assimilate with the Han people as soon as possible and not become rebellious against the Ming Dynasty.

That is, for a period of time, intermarriage within the Mongolian ethnic group is prohibited, and Mongolian women must marry Han people, while Mongolian men must become the son-in-law of Han families.

At the same time, we try to reduce the contact between Mongolians in private and allow them to fully integrate into Han families. Even if some Mongolian survivors were rebellious, they would not be able to contact their own people, so the plan would naturally not succeed.

The entire Mongolian people were dispersed and flowed into various cities across the country in batches.

At the same time, a group of Han people were sent into Mobei to open up wasteland.

We can see from history that the assimilation ability of Han culture is very powerful. The powerful Northern Wei Dynasty was forcibly assimilated by the Han people and disappeared from history. And these Mongolians who have studied Han culture for a long time will soon be completely integrated into the Ming Dynasty. Not only can they speak fluent Chinese, they can also wear gorgeous Hanfu and abide by Han Chinese etiquette and customs.

Their children will also fully identify themselves as Han Chinese, not Mongolians. In this way, the culture and lineage of the Mongolian people will gradually fade and disappear, while the culture and lineage of the Han people will gradually strengthen and expand.

This is the most important part of the Mobei grassland plan formulated by Yang Xian, and there must be no problems.

Nowadays, it is not just a problem on the Mongolian side. Many Han people only want Mongolian women as concubines, let alone Mongolian men as son-in-law.

For the Ming Dynasty, as long as this matter is resolved, it will not only assimilate the Mongols, but also play a key role in increasing the population.

Yang Xian pondered for a moment and then said: "Then start from the top, let the top set an example, and then publicize the matter. It is best for both men and women to play a representative role in their respective ethnic groups."

As Yang Xian was talking, he suddenly felt a gaze looking at him.

Yang Xian raised his head and then met Zhu Biao's fiery eyes.

"Your Highness, you don't want to choose me, do you?" Yang Xian opened his eyes wide and said in a suspicious tone.

Zhu Biao narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Yang Qing is the best candidate. It is you who will lead the troops to completely eliminate the former Yuan Dynasty. You have special meaning to the Mongolian people."

Yang Xian: "."

"If you put it this way, wouldn't Prince Meng, who is the prince of the vassal territory, be more suitable?" Yang Xian shrugged and said. "Do I have to sacrifice my appearance?"

Zhu Biao shook his head and said: "It is precisely because the fourth child is the prince of the Mongolian vassal that he is not suitable."

"This will make the Mongolian people feel conquered and exploited, which is not conducive to their integration into the Ming Dynasty. The fourth child will definitely take the former Yuan royal family as his concubine in the future, but not now."

"Okay, I admit that what you said makes sense. Since His Highness the Crown Prince has thought so carefully, he must have chosen the woman. Tell me which princess she is." Yang Xian rolled his eyes at Zhu Biao and said. .

Zhu Biao smiled and said, "You also know the woman."

Yang Xian only knew one female from the former Yuan Dynasty royal family.

"The former Princess Shaomin of the Yuan Dynasty, Wang Yuemin."

Sure enough it was her.

Yang Xian looked at Zhu Biao and said angrily: "Have you asked the other party's opinion?"

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Not only does Princess Shao Min have no objections, but her brother Wang Baobao also strongly agrees with this marriage."

"Your Majesty's side."

Before Yang Xian could finish speaking, Zhu Biao said directly: "This matter was first proposed by my father. Now I'm just waiting for Yang Qing to nod."

Yang Xian did not expect that this would be Zhu Yuanzhang's idea.

If it were another person, and the emperor granted the marriage, there would be no need to consult the parties involved, and he would just send an eunuch to declare the matter. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only Yang Xian would have such face and status.

"Yang Qing, you are now the Duke of the country, but you don't even have a mistress in the palace. How can you continue like this?" Zhu Biao continued to persuade.

The wife of Yang Xian's predecessor had died long ago during the anti-Yuan period.

Zhu Biao was indeed concerned about Yang Xian. This is in Ming Dynasty.

As a human being in two lifetimes, Yang Xian would not pursue any pure love.

You can't ask two people to fall in love at first sight and then kiss each other or whatever.

Yang Xian actually had no specific ideas about his significant other.

You must know that this was in ancient times, and he and Wang Yuemin actually had a good impression of each other, which was actually ideal.

Moreover, Wang Yuemin is indeed beautiful, because she has Mongolian blood in her body, and her legs are exceptionally long and powerful.

It's completely based on Yang Xian's aesthetics.

It can only be said that he is indeed the historical prototype of Zhao Min.

The other party said they had no objection, so it was naturally impossible for Yang Xian, a grown man, to stand up and refuse.

The only thing that surprised Yang Xian about the whole thing was that Lao Zhu took the initiative.

Yang Xian thought in his mind that Lao Zhu might want to re-enable Wang Baobao. After all, Lao Zhu's ambition now covers the whole world.

But it doesn’t matter.

After seeing Yang Xian's agreement, Zhu Biao was overjoyed and immediately said that he would be the matchmaker himself.

Matchmaker, wedding posts, engagement.

Then there is the bride price.

The betrothal gift given by Yang Xian can be said to be the most generous betrothal gift in the entire Ming Dynasty, Mingji Trading Company!

Let Wang Yuemin, who was originally the second shopkeeper, become the housekeeper.

Then there is the marriage certificate.

This is the most important and last part of an engagement.

The content of the marriage certificate in the Ming Dynasty mainly listed the marriage, land, official position, betrothal and other information of both men and women. It used the format of men on the left and women on the right. The men and women's names, birth dates, place of birth, names of three generations of ancestors, etc. were written respectively. At the same time, On this marriage certificate, the officiant and the matchmaker must sign separately.

After that, after the marriage certificate was signed, both parties each had a marriage certificate as a certificate of the good relationship between Qin and Jin.

Yang Xian is the only member of the Yang family now.

Wang Yuemin's parents had also died long ago, and his elder brother Wang Baobao stepped in as his father.

Outside the city of Peiping, Yang Xian blew his uncle to pieces, and then the decisive battle on the Mobei grassland also almost killed him.

Yang Xian originally thought that Wang Baobao would hold a grudge, but he didn't expect that this guy also had Mu Qiang's character.

The more Yang Xian tortured him, the more Wang Baobao admired and admired Yang Xian.

For Wang Baobao, there is nothing more secure than marrying his sister to Yang Xian.

Because both the matchmaker and the officiant were Zhu Biao.

In addition, the identities of both men and women are here, and the wedding is very large.

After all, this wedding also sends a signal to the whole world, that is, Han-Mongolian intermarriage.

The wedding venue was set at Shenhou Mansion in Yangzhou.

While Yang Xian was busy accompanying the guests, at the same time, Prince Jing's Mansion in Zhongshan, the capital.

"Sister, you have locked yourself in the house for three days, don't scare me." Xu Miaojin reached out and patted the wooden door in front of her, her face full of worry.

Ever since she learned the news about Yang Xian and Wang Yuemin's marriage, Xu Miaoyun began to lock herself in the house.

Xu Miaojin was aware of her sister's thoughts, so she was afraid that Xu Miaoyun would not be able to think clearly.

It's just that she underestimated her sister too much.

Xu Miaoyun is in good health. In the past few days, her three meals have been delivered to her door by servants in the mansion, and she has eaten normally.

Xu Miaoyun was sitting at the desk, with a copy of "Dream of Red Mansions" in front of her and a pile of densely written manuscripts next to her.

There are only eighty chapters of "A Dream of Red Mansions" published by Mingji Shuzhai, and the story ends abruptly.

Despite repeated appeals from readers, there is still no sign of the subsequent story being released.

Over the years, girls from various prefectures in the capital who loved "Dream of Red Mansions" spontaneously formed an organization called the Hongmeng.

Some of them began to write their own stories about the Dream of Red Mansions in their hearts.

Xu Miaoyun is also a member of the Red Alliance.

She has read many subsequent versions, especially the ending about Lin Daiyu, but she is not satisfied with any of them.

Just three days ago, when Xu Miaoyun learned that Yang Xian was about to get married, her mind suddenly buzzed, thinking of Lin Daiyu's ending.

The manuscripts in front of Xu Miaoyun at this moment are exactly what she wrote.

Different from the current mainstream in the Red League, in Xu Miaoyun's writing, Lin Daiyu's death was not due to Xue Baochai's intervention.

Xu Miaoyun believed that Jia Mu had always been the patron saint of Baoyu and Daiyu. In the story behind Dream of Red Mansions, Jiamu made sure that Baoyu and Daiyu would get married in March. Unexpectedly, things suddenly happened and the Jia family suddenly encountered a disaster. Jia Baoyu had to leave home to avoid trouble.

Because Lin Daiyu was worried about Jia Baoyu, she shed tears day and night, from spring to summer, and from summer to autumn. Finally, with deep attachment and ardent expectation for Jia Baoyu, she shed the last tear of her life for Jia Baoyu without regrets and with hatred. And passed away, I still shed tears when I finished it.

Jia Baoyu returned to Xiaoxiang Pavilion at the end of autumn. Lin Daiyu's coffin had been transported back to Suzhou. All Jia Baoyu saw was the cold smoke and deserted leaves in Xiaoxiang Pavilion. Daiyu died, and she died in a way that had nothing to do with Xue Baochai, so Jia Baoyu got married to Xue Baochai.

Xu Miaoyun believes that the tragedy of Bao Dai's love is not due to the contradiction between the parents' orders, the matchmaker's words and the young men and women's independent choices, nor is it a drama about subcontracting jobs, but because there are no eggs left intact after the nest is overturned, and the Jia family suddenly seems to be lagging. The building collapsed as part of the great tragedy.

After writing the last stroke, Xu Miaoyun put down the pencil in his hand, stood up and opened the door.

The door was suddenly opened, startling Xu Miaojin who was at the door.

Xu Miaojin looked up at Xu Miaoyun. It was completely different from what she expected. Xu Miaoyun even had a smile on her face at this moment.

On the other side, Yangzhou.

After sending off the guests.

Yang Xian is also preparing to perform the last step as a groom.

That is the bridal chamber flowers and candles.

In the new house, under the candlelight.

Yang Xian lifted the bride's hijab, and Wang Yuemin looked up at him.

Eyes facing each other.

Yang Xian lowered his head and kissed her directly.

Then, he became famous! (End of chapter)
