Chapter 317 Amnesty
This time Qi Jiguang led the three-way army back from the eastward expedition, bringing a total of more than 20 people.

The population of more than 20 does not include the number of troops, and most of them are women and children from the Eastern captivity and Mongolian Yuan.

Of course, there are also about [-] Han women, all of whom were plundered by the Eastern Captives and sent to Liaodong as slaves.

After exterminating the Eastern captives, they all chose to return to the pass and were unwilling to stay in Liaodong.

Qi Jiguang knew that they had suffered a lot under the hands of the Tatars, so he did not refuse to bring them back.

In the Southern Song Dynasty, there were about 4500 million Han people in the north. With the invasion of the Mongolian and Yuan dynasties, cities were massacred everywhere.

In the end, there were only 700 million people left in the north, which means that 80% of the northern Han population was slaughtered by the Mongolian Yuan.

After Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang overthrew Meng Yuan, the population of Huaxia began to slowly recover, reaching about 4000 million in the Wanli period.

However, with the peasant uprising, the invasion of the Eastern Captives, and natural disasters, the population at the end of the Ming Dynasty was only over 7000 million, and half of it was lost.

Hearing the emperor asking how to deal with those barbarian women, Sun Chuanting, the new chief minister of the cabinet, stepped forward to salute:
"Your Majesty, after the reunification of the world, our Ming Dynasty has a vast land and abundant resources, many places are barren, and the population is seriously underpopulated.

The minister thinks that they can become the engine of Ming's population growth, and they should be assigned to healthy soldiers of the Ming army. Now that there is no war, they must hurry up to create people for Ming! "

"Hahaha... What Master Sun said is that the humble minister seconded it!"

"Weak ministers seconded"

"Weak ministers seconded"

…………

Well, Sun Chuanting's suggestion immediately won the approval of most civil and military personnel!
Even Zhu Youjian couldn't help nodding, he also had this idea, so he smiled and said:

"Sun Aiqing, why don't you take the lead and choose a few Mengyuan and Dongyao women to go back to be concubines tomorrow, and try to give birth to a few little Sun Chuanting next year? Haha..."

"Hahaha……"

"Weak ministers seconded"

……

Zhu Youjian's words caused a burst of laughter from the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and someone immediately seconded the proposal, which made Sun Chuanting flushed and said hastily:

"Your Majesty, I am over 50 years old, how can I have this ability, you should let those young people live!"

"Ha ha……"

Sun Chuanting's words made Manchao Wenwu burst into laughter again.

Today is a good day, the world is finally peaceful, everyone is in a good mood, it is rare for the court to be so happy.

For everyone's joke, Yu Shi Qingliu did not impeach them and roared at the court.

When the officials calmed down, Zhu Youjian said:

"Let's get down to business, this time a total of 12 barbarian women came to the capital, and I decided to give marriages to the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition.

According to the decree, each of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition will reward a barbarian woman. Han women who have returned from Liaodong, if they are not married, can also choose the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition as their husbands. All the soldiers of the Three Route Army will have a one-month holiday.

In addition, I want to give amnesty to the world. All the refugees who were arrested for not having enough to eat and rioting in the early stage, and the prisoners who were sentenced to less than five years, will be pardoned.

Those who have no place to go can work in farms or factories, and all departments are not allowed to deduct their wages! "

This is great, not only rewarding the meritorious soldiers with gold and silver, but also giving them wives.

And amnesty for the whole world, as long as they are not heinous people, they will all be pardoned and released from prison, and they will be arranged to work.

All the ministers knew that Daming was short of people, so they gave full support to the emperor's wise decision.

The rogues are doing chaos to have enough food. As long as they don't let them go hungry, the Chinese people are still very good.

Once the people are mobilized, the revival of Ming Dynasty will definitely not be a dream, because the Chinese people are the most creative and hard-working people in the world.

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly:
"Don't be in a hurry, I haven't finished my words yet, starting from tomorrow, I will stop for three days to celebrate the reunification of Ming Dynasty.

Today I will hold a banquet at Fengtianmen to celebrate the achievements of the soldiers of the Eastern Expedition, and the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will participate in the dinner together.

Cao Zhengchun, immediately send a carriage to several Yichun Buildings in the capital, and bring over those geisha who can sing and dance, and let them add to the fun for everyone! "

"According to the order!"

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly took the order and left.

It's really good things happen every year, especially today. After the officials realized it, they all happily kowtowed on the ground and thanked each other!
"Thank you Lord Long En, my emperor is holy!"

"Loves, free from courtesy"

As early as the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di held a "big banquet" in Fengtian Hall, rewarding all officials to eat together.

Shangbao Temple was in charge of the preparations for the grand banquet. First, the dragon chair was placed in the center of the hall, the yellow coat was spread out, and 24 people were there to serve.

There are nine small "bands" and dancers in the hall, and outside the hall there are also entertainers such as singing, dancing and acrobatics for the emperor and other ministers to enjoy.

Shangbao Temple ordered Guanglu Temple, which was in charge of meals, to set up a wine pavilion on the west side of the dragon chair, a dining pavilion on the east side of the dragon chair, and a delicacy pavilion on the east and west sides of the wine pavilion and dining pavilion. Put it on the east and west sides in front of the dragon chair.

The crown prince's seat is on the east side of the dragon chair, facing west, while the kings and ministers sit facing each other from south to north.

Since Chongzhen ascended the throne, this is the banquet for the officials. He has no money!

There were hundreds of civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty, and this meal would cost at least a thousand taels of silver, which Chongzhen couldn't afford.

The Hall of Supreme Harmony of the Fengtianmen started to get busy again immediately after the court meeting. With the help of Jin Yiwei, the eunuchs began to arrange tables and chairs.

But Zhu Youjian returned to Qianqing Palace first. He knew that the preparation work would take a long time, and it was impossible for him to sit there and watch the eunuchs arrange tables and chairs.

As soon as I returned to Qianqing Palace, there was a clear and clear notification sound from the system in my mind:

"Ding, the system is automatically updated successfully, consuming 20 points!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for getting 300 million points!"

"Ding, the host's total points have reached 820 million points."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for being able to draw a lottery once, because the system has been updated and several new functions have been added. This lottery requires 300 million points."

"Fuck, an automatic update needs 20 points? What's the difference between this and robbery? If I don't have war points, it's equivalent to consuming 200 million taels of silver."

Hearing that the automatic update consumes 20 points, although Zhu Youjian is rich, he still feels distressed.

"Ding, didn't you just award 300 million points? The host didn't lose money."

"Oh, by the way, where did these 300 million points come from? It's a bit inexplicable!"

"Ding, except for the rewards of the Kong family, the influence of the Kong family in Daming is definitely not comparable to that of rogues!"

"Damn it, getting rid of the Kong family can actually give you 300 million points, it's really worth it!"

Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard that getting rid of the Kong family actually had 300 million points.

But as soon as he was proud, the system gave him a blow to the head.

"Ding, host, don't get complacent too early, the consequences of eradicating the Kong family have not yet appeared, there will definitely be a catastrophe!"

"Oh no!"

Zhu Youjian knew that the system would not lie to him, but he really couldn't think of any consequences.

More than 200 people were sent out to brainwash the literati, isn't that enough?

Those families who are very influential in the local area, who killed Kong Yinzhi with their own hands, will definitely try their best to discredit the Kong family.

"Brother System, tell me quickly, what problem will there be, I will nip it in the bud!"

Zhu Youjian still wanted to ask what was going on with the system, but there was no movement in the system at all.
