Chapter 993 Migration
Yang Yinglong has been promoted.

The cause of the incident was that the population of the Ming Dynasty migrated to new lands in recent years. Shandong was hit by a disaster in the fifth year of Wanli, and the imperial court sent nearly [-] soldiers and civilians to Asia at a time.

Start with Banshu.

Yang Zhaolong opened up the world on Xinming Island, and then the imperial court started the Xinming system and sent Li Hualong to the island. Only then did Xinming be regarded as the imperial court's territory.

The new governor is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In a blink of an eye, he sent a manuscript to the court, discussing the relocation of Bozhou Yang and other chieftains with four surnames, Shang Xinming, and giving him the power to guard the frontier and forever town the land.

Some people are happy and some are sad, Yang Yinglong is not happy about it... Banzhou Xuanwei Division has both good timber and beautiful trees and high fields and fertile soil. After hundreds of years of operation, it has long been impenetrable, and it suddenly wants to move overseas. No matter how hard my sister persuades overseas Blessed land, it is also difficult to resolve the conflict in the heart.

But Yang Yinglong was not impulsive, because he himself had a difficult choice, because he had seen the land map drawn by the imperial court - it was located in the northwest of Xinming, twelve times larger than the Xuanwei Division of Bozhou.

It is difficult for Yang Yinglong to be tempted by the pure land, because he knows that the hinterland of the land is very barren. The real good place is the southeast of Xinming under the name of his brother Yang Zhaolong. The northwest is even barren than the northwest of Daming. Thousands of years ago, there were only a dozen villages run by Yang Zhaolong.

Although the land is more than ten times larger, the land that can actually be reclaimed and planted is probably not as good as Banzhou. In addition, it is scattered geographically, and it is difficult to form effective management and centralized power like today's Xuanweisi.

But that is rich in iron ore.

No one knows how rich it is. They only know that the iron ore veins over there are bigger than the iron mines that my brother-in-law found in Qiongzhou. Great surplus.

In a dilemma, Yang Yinglong handed over the power of choice to the emperor... During a year of arguing with the court, he ordered people to cut down 72 good trees and sent them all the way to the capital.

He thought very clearly, if the emperor felt that it was beneficial for the Yang family to be in Bozhou, the big trees would grow again if they were gone; if the imperial court insisted on moving him to Xinming, it would be useless to keep these big trees.

The result is obvious, the emperor is not yet old enough to appreciate tall palaces, and good wood is of no use to him. Lord Wanli prefers catalpa wood, birch wood, and old elm wood with knots—these are all used to make bird guns with gun beds The most suitable wood.

As for the big fir?
On the contrary, Wanli accepted the kindness of the Bozhou Propaganda Envoy, and ordered the people in the palace to store all these large and beautiful Chinese fir trees in the Shenmu Factory, so that the elderly ministers would pass away and order purple shirt coffins.

Master Wanli and Yang Yinglong are not in the same mind when it comes to reforming the native land and returning to the country. Yang Yinglong thinks that the tribute of some good wood can save the Bozhou Xuanweisi from being relocated overseas; Wanli thinks that Yang Xuanwei is loyal to the court... Then Shouldn't it be sealed off?

Don't blame the emperor, blame Chen Mu.

The emperor felt that Chen Mu, the minister who knew overseas best in the world and the important minister of Beiyang, was trying to get those relatives out of the country all day long. , make a fortune overseas, cure all kinds of diseases overseas, and even the major problems of our Ming Dynasty can be solved overseas.

At most, the three military mansions a year will bring back precious metals worth 300 million taels of silver.

Even if there was less gold and silver later, the value of other kinds of goods, raw materials, and rice increased.

If it is just money, it can't be said that Shanghai cures all diseases.

In the past two years, Zhang Juzheng was seizing love, didn't the five gentlemen have a lot of trouble?The emperor was so angry that he wanted to beat them to death and sent them overseas.

Later, I regretted it a bit, and when I found out that the five people had indeed encountered a lot of dangers when they went to Asia, it was smallpox and the Blackfoot invaded or something.

This impression has been deeply ingrained in Emperor Wanli's mind—the more loyal, talented, and worthy of rewards, the more he should go to sea!
What's more, in the emperor's heart, this Yang family should be very knowledgeable, guarding Chen Mu's relatives, right?
Your envoy Yang Xuanwei sent good materials and beautiful trees and did not speak. Does this mean that I am slow in arranging for you?
Master Wanli still felt very sorry.

Li, Ma, Arrange, Arrange!

Yang Yinglong never expected such a result, the emperor sent an envoy to reward Yang Yinglong with a slap in the face, six appearances of brocade and seventy green beads, and then changed the title of Consolation Envoy of Xinming Western Propaganda and Consolation Division, In addition, he was appointed as the commander of the second-rank Xinming Xidu, and was awarded the title of General Longhu. Under the restraint of Li Hualong, the governor of Xinming, [-] military and civilian households under the Xuanwei Division of the original Bozhou were moved to Xinming across the sea from now on.

It's the same as talking and playing.

Twenty thousand households, not twenty thousand people.

After the imperial decree, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Huguang provinces came together, and each of them helped to relocate the people like wolves that eat people without spitting out their bones. The friendship was so strong that he was afraid.

They are all eyeing the rich land at the junction of the three provinces.

Not to mention, the emperor's decree was delivered, and the conflict in Yang Yinglong's heart disappeared.

Because he went to the Nanyang Military Mansion to find out that Xinming’s big mine is indeed under his control. Although the environment is not good and it is difficult to manage, the reserves available for mining are huge. As long as the coast there is carefully managed, it can support [-] people. household people.

What's more, the route has matured in the past few years. Even if there are unforeseen circumstances, relying on the abundant Java route to transport food is enough to help him tide over the difficulties.

So far, in March of the seventh year of Wanli, the Bozhou army fully joined the imperial court's plan to open up Xinming after Yang Zhaolong's opening. Hundreds of large ships set sail from Nanyang Weigang to the distant Xinming Island.

Li Hualong was very excited when he heard the news. He was called the governor, but the power and manpower he actually possessed were not as good as the pirate governor of Lin Daoqian in Fenghuanggang. He was the emperor in name and ruled more than two million people in Java.

Although all these years have passed, Phoenix Port is still Phoenix Port, and many pirates live on the west coast of Java Island, but after all, they are slowly expanding their influence towards the east, guarding trade routes, and almost monopolizing the Western and Southern Oceans. Even if the military commanders on both sides are not good, at least they still have to give them a sip of soup.

What about his new talent?Looking at the big picture, apart from the savages on the island, there are wild dogs, big bag rabbits and crocodiles. They know that there are iron mines, but there are not enough people to mine them, and they are struggling with food and clothing all the year round.

How can Governor Li Hualong feel at ease?

With Yang Yinglong here, things will be easy to handle.

But at this juncture, Yang Zhaolong, an explorer in the southeast of Xinming Island, has disappeared. No matter how hard Li Hualong sent people to find him, he couldn't find him.

Even the maid, the deputy Liu Qianhu and the generals under his command are gone.

Also missing were 26 large blessing boats and [-] island guardian dogs.

Finally, after rummaging through the little governor's mansion, he found a line of writing crookedly carved with a dagger on a pillar.

"Yang went to Asia to find his brother-in-law to open up a new route, don't worry about it."
