The room goes through the late Ming Dynasty, and the back door leads to North America at the beginni

In the twelfth year of Qianyuan's reign, the system of sharing grains among farmers and government officials and gentry as a whole was implemented smoothly in the two provinces of South and North Zhili.

Within half a year, the two provinces' levy silver increased by hundreds of thousands of silver dollars due to these two new policies.

Although this amount of money was only one-thousandth of Da'ei's annual fiscal revenue today, it increased the fiscal revenue of the imperial court and local officials and reduced the burden on the common people.

As a result, the lives of the people in the two provinces have become more prosperous...
Time flies and it is October of the twelfth year of Qianyuan.

Liu Sheng brought three concubines, as well as Liu Rui, who was officially canonized as the crown prince, and other entourage to Tianmu Mountain.

After inspecting the situation of the victims from the immigration town, Liu Sheng smiled and said to Liu Rui: "Rui'er, I'll leave the immigration work to you this time."

"My son, I will take care of this matter!" Liu Rui agreed excitedly.

Today, Liu Rui has grown into a thirteen-year-old boy. Because he has eaten well since he was a child and practiced martial arts, he is close to 1.7 meters tall, which is taller than many adults in their thirties and above. .

At the same time, he also inherited the appearance of Liu Sheng and the Red Lady, but he was slightly more like the Red Lady. He had red lips and white teeth, a handsome appearance, and his appearance was even better than that of the young stars of later generations.

It's just that his expression is usually more serious, giving people a young and mature look.

Occasionally, he will show his youthful appearance.

Just like this time.

After two or three years of accumulation, there are now more than 30,000 disaster victims in Migrant Town, which is a large number.

According to Liu Rui's understanding, if Liu Sheng's usual immigration rate of five to six thousand a day was followed, it would take seven or eight days to complete.

Now Liu Sheng has left this matter to him, which makes him feel trusted.

I am also very happy to share the affairs with Liu Sheng.

The immigration matter has been going on for more than ten years, and there is already a very mature set of regulations, but the process is more cumbersome.

After Liu Sheng handed the matter over to Liu Rui, he stopped taking care of it. Instead, he went to North America first to understand the situation there.

After these years of immigration and naturalized natives, the total registered population of Da'ei in North America has reached close to one million!

Therefore, after a meeting with Liu Dachuan, Guo Sanhai, Yan Yuanshan and others in Echu County, Liu Sheng decided to add Jinsha County in the upper reaches of Xinluo River and add Luye County in the central and southern grasslands.

And established Tianmei Mansion.

It has jurisdiction over four counties: Laichu, Jinsha, Longshou and Luye. The government is located in Laichu County.

The first prefect was Liu Dachuan, who also knew Yan Yuanshan and judged Guo Sanhai...

After being promoted, several people's faces were glowing and they seemed to be more active in doing things.

On this day, after cooperating with Liu Rui to complete the resettlement of the last batch of immigrants, Liu Dachuan came to the "Eichu Palace" to see Liu Sheng.

"See Your Majesty."

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Liu Dachuan stood up and sat down, Liu Sheng asked, "What do you want Dachuan to see me for?"

Liu Dachuan hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said: "Now that Da'ei is under the governance of His Majesty, the country is peaceful and the people are safe. Even if a natural disaster occurs, most of the victims can be resettled locally."

"This is certainly a good thing for Dawei, but the number of immigrants from North America is decreasing year by year."

"Now that North America has a good foundation in agriculture, industry, commerce, etc., it is a good time to increase immigration. North America also has a large area of ​​fertile land waiting to be cultivated."

"Therefore, I sincerely request to increase the scale of immigration!"

Liu Sheng was silent for a while.

If this country was also in the seventeenth century and needed to compete with European colonists for the Americas, then he would definitely try his best to increase the number of immigrants so that Da'ei could occupy the Americas with an absolute population advantage.

But now we have found out that the Americas here are still at the end of the fourteenth century, and it was still a hundred years before Columbus discovered the New World.

In this case, there was no rush to immigrate to America. But as Liu Dachuan's chief officer in North America, he could understand his desire to increase the number of immigrants.

In the long run, increasing immigration will indeed help Dawei develop North America and even South America as soon as possible.

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Liu Sheng said: "Since you know that there are not many victims in Dawei, you should know that I do not want to immigrate to North America."

"There are not many victims, and the court cannot force the people to relocate. What's more, many people there now need to replenish the population more than here in North America."

For the time being, no one is competing with Da'Ei for the land in North America. Even if someone were to compete, they would not be able to compete with Da'Ei.

But it's different on the other side.

For example, in Montenegro Province, Tsarist Russia's Cossack bandits have explored the middle reaches of the Huntong River. If Damei did not intervene there, Tsarist Russia's power would become more and more stable.

At the same time, the Han population in the four major provinces of Uzang, Qinghai, Andong, and Monan is too small. If they want to be truly brought under the rule of Damei, they must increase the Han population year by year.

Another example is Dongfan Island, Qiongzhou Island, and even the Nanyang region, which also need Da'ei to enrich their population.

Therefore, Liu Sheng's previous exiles of criminals were all to these places, not to North America.

Liu Dachuan said: "I have a way to speed up the development of North America without the imperial court forcing immigrants, or in other words, without the imperial court migrating a large number of people to North America."

"Oh?" Liu Sheng was slightly surprised and asked, "What can I do?"

Liu Dachuan took out the prepared memorial and said: "This is the "Attracting Big Investors to Develop North America" ​​drafted by me. Please read it."

The guard took Liu Dachuan's memorial and handed it to Liu Sheng's case.

Liu Sheng flipped through it and couldn't help but look at Liu Dachuan, feeling even more surprised.

Liu Dachuan's memorial was to hope that Liu Sheng would open limited access to North American immigration to Da'ei.

For example, large households and families in China can come to North America to cultivate wasteland as long as they have a certain amount of deposit and how many members of the group they can organize.

These people who reclaimed the wasteland did not have to be as severely restricted by Tian'an Mansion as the relocated disaster victims.

The land they cultivated was naturally still owned by Dawei, but they had permanent tenant rights.

In North America, Da'ei is said to have all the land ownership, but after the people are allocated the land, in addition to being tax-free for a few years, even the normal rent is extremely low. Plus normal taxes, compared to the Da'an on the other side. The Futian tax is still lower.

In other words, the income from farming here in North America is indeed higher than that in China.

Not to mention, the forests, prey and other resources in uncultivated lands in the wild are not owned by Damei.

People who cultivate the wasteland can definitely obtain these resources to earn more money, but they only need to pay taxes during the transaction.

Such reclamation may not be as profitable as opening factories and doing business in China, but it will basically not lose money and is easier to operate. It is very suitable for landowners who are accustomed to relying on land to increase their income.

At the same time, for the Da'ei court, this was another good strategy to weaken the wealthy families, households, and landlord groups.

The imperial court, Tian'an Mansion and large landowner groups all benefited, killing three birds with one stone!
However, what surprised Liu Sheng was not the content of the memorial, but that Liu Dachuan could think of such a method.

Therefore, after examining Liu Dachuan, Liu Sheng couldn't help but smile and asked: "Dachuan, this method is indeed good, but is it really what you want?"

Liu Dachuan's face turned slightly red and he said, "It is indeed not what I thought, but what I was offered by the officials in my palace."

After saying that, Liu Dachuan was very nervous and made up his mind that if Liu Sheng continued to ask, he would sell that good staff member.

Liu Sheng had no intention of asking further questions.

As Dawei's top leader in North America, it is normal for Liu Dachuan to have staff. He just needs to make sure that Liu Dachuan has no objections.

Although it is good to have an aide who can come up with strategies to attract big business people to come to North America to colonize the land, it is not enough for him to shamelessly steal people.

He pondered for a moment and said: "I need to discuss this matter with all the ministers after returning to Nanjing before I can make a decision. Please wait patiently for a while."

When Liu Dachuan heard this, he knew that Liu Sheng was really interested in this strategy, and he couldn't help but happily said: "Yes." (End of Chapter)
