Chapter 231
If there are too many border residents entering the customs and the hundreds of reception points along the way are not enough to properly accommodate them, it doesn't matter. They can be concentrated at Tianjin Wei first. Once a thousand people are gathered, a batch will be sent to the suburbs of Beijing.At that time, the emperor's palaces such as Nanhaizi and Gonghua City will become temporary settlement sites.

It doesn’t matter if it’s not enough. There are more than 500 temples and Taoist temples within the jurisdiction of Wanping County and Daxing County alone. If you add Changping Prefecture, Tongzhou, Fangshan County, Pinggu County, and Miyun County, the number will probably reach thousands.Even if each temple houses only a dozen people, it can still accommodate another [-] to [-] border residents.

not enough?No, Yuan Yingtai's rough statistics show that there are less than 30 border residents planning to enter the customs, and more than half of them are family members of border soldiers.They still have to follow the border troops to settle in Shaanxi and Shanxi, where there will be guard posts for resettlement. The number of truly helpless people is at most about 15, and definitely no more than 20.

Most of the courtiers had different views on the emperor's indifference and the forcible apportionment of temples and Taoist temples, and they complained one after another. The main opinions focused on the two aspects of court expenditure and final resettlement methods.

The implication behind the words is to remind the emperor to help the emergency rather than the poor. So many people cannot continue to rely on food relief. Over time, there will always be restless and dissatisfied people who will cause trouble, either by stealing or stealing.You can turn a blind eye elsewhere, but this is the capital, who wants to live in fear all day long!
Most of the time, the wishes of the courtiers were conveyed to the emperor through the cabinet ministers. If everyone had something to do, they would write a memorial directly to heaven and ask for a clear reply, which would tire the emperor to the end.

"Your Majesty, even 20 people are not a small number. If they can't find a place to stay before winter comes, I'm afraid it will bring a lot of trouble to the capital city." No, the emperor just came down from Qiongdao to the cabinet room. During a routine inspection, Bachelor Li Tingji couldn't wait to give his advice.

"Yes, there have been many fights in Yongping Prefecture and Shuntian Prefecture in recent days, all caused by disputes between border residents and local people. If they are not properly settled as soon as possible, it may cause harm to the local area."

As soon as Li Tingji finished speaking, Shen Li started to add, one starting from the aspect of survival and the other from the aspect of public security. Both of them were quite reasonable and forward-looking.

"Grandmaster Li and Mr. Shen Ge think very long-term. They are really examples of working hard for the country. I wonder if they have concrete solutions besides raising problems. You might as well tell them so that I can learn from them!"

But to Hong Tao's ears, such words were as good as farts. It was the duty of a science and technology officer to speak out after hearing something was going on, while a cabinet bachelor was responsible for helping the emperor make suggestions and solve problems. When would he be demoted to a mixed rank? It’s official!

"The abolition of Liaodong Town is a sacred decision. Your Majesty has thought about it and has a solid plan. I will just accept the order." Faced with the obviously teasing question, Shen Li responded without changing his face or heart.

The suggestions were made by you, the decisions were made by you, and the executors were all your cronies, and it was obvious that they did not take the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty seriously.What's the matter? When you encounter a problem and can't solve it, you think of us?

Don't, whoever poops will wipe the butt. If you have the ability, you can suddenly turn the tide. If you don't have the ability, just wait for trouble to happen. A minister cannot be the emperor's master. Please!
"Is this what you guys mean?" Faced with such a naked provocation, Hong Tao didn't rush and glanced at the other bachelors, waiting for them to express their stance.

"..."

"His Majesty is wise and resourceful, and it is difficult for him to chase after you."

"The emperor has far-sighted vision and far-reaching thoughts. I am ashamed of myself."

"The old minister thought that if more than half of them were moved to Sichuan and Shaanxi, the rest would not be a concern." Facing the emperor's thoughtful gaze, Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, and Li Dai chose to bow their heads in silence, while Li Tingji and Wu Daonan He made it clear that he was on Shen Li's side, and the difference between three and three was clear.

The remaining one, Weng Zhengchun, was neither an imperial party nor a member of the civil service group. He really wanted to make a difference in office, but he had been an imperial scholar for 20 years and had no experience in governing for a day. His stomach was empty except for a subset of classics and history. Chewing the leftover steamed buns eaten by Emperor Taizu, I plan to visit Huguang again to fill Sichuan.

Hong Tao was quite pleased with this scene.Six or seven years of hard work has not been in vain, and finally there are some achievements. At least in the cabinet, we have become evenly matched. We don't have to listen to these guys who have no king and no country all day long and only think about personal honor and family interests.

Looking back and thinking about it, I feel sorry for the cheap daddy, Emperor Wanli.He didn't have the ability to know 500 years in advance and [-] years in the future, let alone break the shackles of the etiquette of the times. Faced with such a group of tough-mouthed things that can't be steamed or boiled, he could only choose to give up and turn a blind eye, and the result was... Became the scapegoat.

"Well, Mr. Shen Ge said it well! Wang An, write this sentence down and always remind me to think carefully when doing things in the future, so as not to cause trouble to the bachelors. But in the future, if anyone refuses to accept the order, he will accept it. To delay and shirk your destiny is to deceive your Majesty by talking nonsense, which is very disrespectful!"

You want to be passive and slow down, and you want to see the emperor make a fool of yourself, right?OK, then just watch the excitement from the side and don't point fingers anymore, otherwise today's words will be a reminder. Anyone with a stiff neck will give it a try.

"As for the whereabouts of the border residents, I have already made proper arrangements. Within July, most of them will become employees of sugar mills, lime kilns, machinery factories, coking plants, and iron smelting plants. Relying on their hard work, Being a family in exchange for food and clothing.

In addition, I also plan to hire hundreds of good crop handlers for Huangzhuang in Shandong. After several years of cultivation, the yield of wheat and sweet potatoes there has gradually increased, and they can now be planted on a large scale.With these border residents to reclaim wasteland on the hillside, they can occupy less of the local fertile land and kill two birds with one stone.

Oh, yes, I would like to reiterate again that workshops and factories run by the government and the private sector must not hire farmers with acres of land to work. Violators will be sent to the army and ransack their homes regardless of whether they are the principal or the culprit. The local magistrate will not be able to escape accountability. "

After Wang An finished recording, Hong Tao deliberately checked the small book before nodding with satisfaction and continued to discuss today's main topic, how to resettle more than [-] border residents.

There is no need to discuss it anymore, the method is ready.Regardless of the civil servant group or the noble relatives, they are currently busy preparing for various factories and preparing to make a lot of money.

They can tell what kind of goods can make a lot of money, but they don't know much about how factories operate. They probably don't have the concept of workers in their minds, let alone that factories are labor-intensive units.

The number of workers in a factory may be greater than the population of half a small county, and it is unimaginable that the value created by the factory may be higher than the taxes of a county.

This is called the limitations of the times. Some problems that were completely hopeless in the minds of the ancients have become almost zero in later generations, and they can be solved without any difficulty.As a time traveler, IQ is not enough to crush the ancients. How to take advantage of the differences of the times is the key. Hong Tao has great experience in this aspect.

Of course, future generations also have limitations of the times. For example, they cannot understand why buildings that have stood for thousands of years are still as stable as ever, while newly built houses can only last for decades, or even ten or several years. I wonder if this is creation. Wealth or waste of resources?
