Emperor Liu Hong

Liu Hong just wanted to go to Liu Shu, but before he left, Liu Shu came to him first.

"Uncle Huang, you came just in time, I was just looking for you."

"Ah, Your Majesty, what do you want to do with this minister?"

No matter how small the emperor's affairs are, it is still a big matter, and no matter how big his own affairs are, it is also a small matter.So, when he heard that Liu Hong was going to look for him, he dropped his affairs and started asking.

"Uncle Emperor, you should read it yourself." After speaking, Liu Hong handed over Lu Zhi's telegram and Gan Ning's chart to Liu Shu.

"Relocate the Governor's Mansion and discover an unknown island?" Liu Shu took the two items and looked at them carefully, then frowned and asked Liu Hong, "Your Majesty, what is your intention regarding these two matters?"

"What other purpose can I have? Of course, I agree to Lu Zhi's request and occupy these newly discovered islands." Then, Liu Hong added: "Of course, the islands in Nanyang are After they are all defeated, they will definitely be brought under the management of the imperial court and completely merged into our big man. And this time will not be too long, at most two or three years. Therefore, I think that Lu Zhi can be set up in Java Island first. A temporary governor's mansion for a transition. And your government affairs council has also made preparations in advance so that it can be accepted at that time. This matter is also the reason why I came to you."

"It turns out that's the case." Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Shu nodded and said, "Your Majesty, this preparation is not very difficult. But after the acceptance, please tell Your Majesty whether the temporary Governor's Mansion will be canceled or moved to another place." Excuse me, my minister should make preparations early?"

Liu Hong didn't answer Liu Shu's question directly.Instead, he brought over the map he used for comparison just now. [

"Look, uncle." Liu Hong pointed to the later Irian Island and said, "This island is located to the east of Java Island and Sulawesi Island. Occupy it. Therefore, I want to move the Governor's Mansion there and colonize it."

"Alright Your Majesty, I will make arrangements as soon as I return, and strive to complete the preparations as soon as possible."

"Okay, hurry up and prepare." Hearing Liu Wei's words, Liu Hong nodded for a while, but thinking that Liu Wei came to him first today, it meant that Liu Wei must have something to ask, so he asked: " By the way, Uncle Huang. You came to see me today, what's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, the information about the preliminary exploration of that rich continent has been reported. The territory is quite huge. If there are states, at least four should be established." Liu Shu sighed as he spoke. "Your Majesty, it's easy to set up a state capital, but we can't just set up a bare yamen there without the people. But you know the situation of our big man, Your Majesty. Therefore, this humble minister came to ask His Majesty for instructions. How to deal with it?"

"My day. This is really a matter. After all, it is the Australia of later generations. How many people will it take to fill it?!" Hearing Liu Wei's words, Liu Hong frowned, "What the emperor said That’s true. The yamen at all levels were originally set up to manage the common people. If there are no common people, it would be of no use if they were established.”

"Yes, Your Majesty, you don't know that I have been worried about the population these days." Hearing Liu Hong's words, Liu Shu complained, "Your Majesty, since this policy of guiding the people to Nanyang As soon as it rises, the grasslands to the north are almost populated by thousands of miles. And the government offices set up by the imperial court a few years ago have almost become decorations."

"Uncle Huang, it's not that exaggerated, is it?"

There are already few people on the northern grasslands, so once the policy comes out, it will definitely be more affected there.But Liu Hong didn't believe that those government offices could become decorations.

"Your Majesty, it's not an exaggeration at all. There are quite a few grasslands in the north now, and they are all empty cities."

"Ah, why is it so serious?"

Hearing this, Liu Hong was also a little impatient.You know, Liu Hong is quite aware that all the threats to China have always come from the northern grasslands.Therefore, for the safety of the Han, that place must be occupied by the Han.It was going well together at first, but after this twists and turns, the grassland was empty again, and it would be bad if foreigners made loopholes.After all, although the foreign races on the grassland had been wiped out, there were still foreign races farther to the northwest.The "polar bear" who can compete with the United States in later generations is the best example.

"Your Majesty, the matter is really serious." Hearing Liu Hong's question, Liu Shu said, "It's like the northern grasslands, which are inherently cold and unsuitable for people to live in. And most of the people there are They graze and run pastures for a living. But we big men can consume a lot of livestock with such a small population, so they can’t make a lot of money. His Majesty is now issuing various policies to guide the people to Nanyang. The living environment there is not only better than that in the north, but also makes money The opportunity is also greater than in the north. Therefore, most of the common people have gone to Nanyang."

"No, absolutely not. I have to find a way to retain the popularity of the north." Thinking of this, Liu Hong began to ponder, "People in the grasslands all go to Nanyang. Although there are reasons for living comfort, But the most important thing is that Nanyang can make money. As long as they can make money in the north, they will definitely not go all the way to Nanyang."

"What can we do to keep the people in the north?" Liu Hong turned his head and had an idea, "Since you think the ranch doesn't make much money, then opening mines can always satisfy you."

You know, there are quite a few mineral deposits on the northern grasslands.Although those famous large mines in later generations have been taken over by him, there are also many small mines.These mineral deposits can definitely attract a large number of people. [

"No, this matter has to be planned. If the news of the northern mines comes out, and the people from Nanyang are hooked back, it will become a mess."

People's hearts are all about profit, and the reason why those people took the risk to go to the war-torn Southeast Asia is to make a lot of money.Now that there are mineral deposits in the north, it is not impossible for them to run back.

In Liu Hong's view, if there are people in the north, Nanyang cannot be empty.It is the best choice to cut off the hatchback and develop in a balanced manner.

"The place in Nanyang is humid and hot. Although it is more comfortable than the north, it is no better than going there. There must be people who don't want to go there. Why don't I explode some mines in Nanyang and grasslands, so that they want to go there Well, freedom can develop."

Liu Hong told Liu Shu his method, and Liu Shu, who had no other way, could only do this first.But at this time, he thought of his original intention of coming here again, "Your Majesty, what should we do with the rich continent?"

"What else can we do? We have a shortage of Han population. It is definitely unrealistic to occupy it now and set up a state capital on it. Therefore, let's set up a governor's mansion there and carry out colonial management!" Speaking of this, Liu Hong thought again Hawaii is coming, "The islands Gan Ning discovered, he captured all the people on the islands, making them all empty islands now. So it is not suitable for colonization there, and we have no one to emigrate. So I think, under the current circumstances, let the navy first find an island there, build a base, and occupy it. As for the other islands, they can be opened to the public. After a long time, there will be more people on them. It will not be too late to assign it to the imperial court."

"Well, at this stage, that's the only way to do it."

Liu Shu also knows that the key reason for this situation is that the current population of the big man is too small.If the big man can directly double the population by three times, there will be no problem.But the problem is that although the imperial court has been encouraging the people to have more children, it will take at least ten years to see results. Now, the time is still too short.

Liu Hong's decision was quickly transmitted to Lu Zhi by telegram.Therefore, he immediately started preparations for the relocation of the Governor's Mansion.Of course, in order not to startle the snake, this matter must be done quietly.But as soon as such a thing is prepared, he has reason to transfer those people to Java Island.When the transfer is almost over, he will no longer bother with those annoying countries.

Lu Zhi was preparing to move the governor's mansion here, and at this time, Gan Ning, who had put down the captives and captured them in Wazhou, and replenished his supplies, also joined Liu Fu's large forces in Borneo.

Although all the troops had joined together, Liu Fu and the others still fought steadily, advancing bit by bit, without being impatient.At this time, in the mainland of the Han Dynasty, there was a lot of trouble because of the explosion of many mineral deposits in the southern ocean and the northern grassland at the same time.

In this world, how many people have never dreamed of getting rich overnight?Therefore, when they saw that the ordinary people who were originally ordinary people became pig-headed overnight because of the discovery of the mine, some of them were not envious, and some were not jealous.As a result, those envious and jealous people packed up and saluted, and embarked on the road of searching for mineral deposits.

Seeing this upsurge in mining, Liu Hong is no longer blindly optimistic.It allows people to reasonably guide those people according to the situation, so as to achieve a balanced development of the north and the south.

Because this time, Liu Hong and the others were fully prepared, and that kind of blind migration never happened again.Although in this "mine mining" craze, there are very few people who actually find mineral deposits.However, due to the timely guidance of the imperial court, they either started business or entered the factory.Anyway, as long as you work hard, it is not difficult to earn a good income.Gradually, these people with stable income settled down there.

Seeing that everything was going well, Liu Hong relaxed.Although the war in Nanyang continues and the construction in various places is also very heavy, Liu Hong does not need to take care of these.Therefore, he spent two years in desperation. (To be continued..)
