Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 284 Chapter 284 Still need to immigrate first

Hu Weiyong understood.

The emperor still learned the methods from the emperors of the Han Dynasty.

It just changed the migration of rich people from Fengyang to the north.

"We have been fighting with the Yuan Tartars for so long to take over the vast northern land. If we don't manage it, maybe within a hundred years, the Ming Dynasty will have to divide the rivers from north to south to rule."

Zhu Yuanzhang said meaningfully:
"What our good son-in-law just said is exactly what we have been worried about, so we tried to find ways to encourage the southerners to move north. After all, they all fled north before.

If you can return to the north, it can be considered as returning to your roots. "

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he waited for Wang Buli to give him some bad ideas.

Wang Buli did not immediately answer Lao Zhu's words, but pretended to think and think of a solution.

"Although it is not realistic to move the capital at present, we still need to fill the northern population."

"In order to accommodate the craftsmen and their families, I first renovated new houses and built factories. At the same time, I found tutors to accommodate the children and found a job for them.

Wang Buli couldn't help but rolled his eyes. Regarding the good policies from top to bottom since ancient times, how many of them can really benefit the common people?

Zhu Biao looked at Wang Buli: "This matter cannot be completed in a short time. Just like when you proposed the Grand Canal project, it will be extended for more than ten or twenty years."

It has always been Lao Zhu's aim to do big things without spending money or with small amounts of money.

Back then, Lao Zhu only relied on a dozen people to start his business, and it snowballed all the way.

The population distribution is extremely abnormal.

"Buli." Seeing Wang Buli's silence, Zhu Yuanzhang directly named him:
"You have a lot of ideas, and there are no outsiders here, so just tell me what you think.

Hu Weiyong also added a sentence.

One is that the Mongols were bullying and harassing them, and the other is that the Yellow River in Henan is overflowing, and the rebels are fighting. In the past few years, they had to run away if they couldn't survive.

I also want to do what you did with those wealthy businessmen, asking them to take the initiative to send money. It is best to let the people move on their own initiative. "

Xu Da was ordered to immigrate some people from Shanxi to enrich the population of Hebei.

How much money can the imperial court spend on large-scale immigration? "

Even if he knew what was going to happen in the future, after taking some precautions, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the confidence to know what would happen to Ming Dynasty in the future.

Houses, cars, factories, children, etc. are all not considered.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew about this, but he didn't expect Wang Buli to spend so much money.

Therefore, many immigrants later spread the story of the big locust tree.

It's just that once you get there, you have priority in reclaiming land, and it's up to you to get as much land as you want.

It’s almost normal to be thousands of miles away from people.

At least it proves that after Biao'er's death, his son is not suitable to be emperor. With so many resources in hand, he is not afraid of anyone starting the Eight Kings Rebellion.

Am I generous enough?

At present, Ming Dynasty is extremely short of population.

Wang Buli also wanted to get more chips for Lao Si, so he didn't respond immediately, as if he was very interested.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang knew that the fourth son had usurped the throne, he simply invested more capital in the north.

"I heard that the Prince Consort moved many craftsmen to Yong'an Village, and he also has experience."

A large number of people live in the southeastern territory, while the rest of the country is simply pitifully small.

"The Jiangnan area has more people but less land, while the north and other places have less people and more land. It takes more than ten years for people to grow. There is no way to transform people immediately."

If you ask Lao Zhu to kill outsiders, he will not be lenient at all.

He sent Xu Da to immigrate from Shanxi, and the people brought their own dry food on the way.

"Everyone, migration costs money."

In the end, Lao Si still started with 800 people, which is enough to prove that Lao Si is a bit lucky.

Zhu Biao looked at Ming Dynasty's map and said: "And we have to recover Yunnan. Then we will need to send troops to guard it. We all need people."

Especially since there is no one here who is not anxious.

It’s just that you have to not make it too obvious to avoid being distinguished by others.

Instead, he asked Lao Zhu to immigrate to Hebei, Henan and other places.

These things all cost money, and the cost cannot be recovered in a short period of time. It can only be done slowly and gradually.

But for his son and grandson, whose palms and backs were all covered in flesh, he really couldn't bear to part with them.

That is to say, Shanxi has not suffered from large-scale wars. It is said that there are more than four million people, which is the largest population in the northern provinces.

Wang Buli was not polite, and it was a way of increasing his bargaining chip for the fourth child to lure people to the north.

He really doesn't behave like a prodigal like Wang Buli.

The population was so depleted that after Zhu Di came to power, Lao Zhu still had a headache when he wrote to his son about the small population in the north.

Of course, it's not like Lao Zhu doesn't give you free places, that is, you don't have to pay for road guidance when you immigrate.

Hu Weiyong glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang quietly, but was speechless.

He finally discovered that if the prince-in-law wanted to do something, he had to spend money.

I wish this boy would not be called "Jiyu" in Jiangning County, but there is no one for him to rely on Song Jiang.

It is almost impossible for the prince-in-law to usurp the throne.

Moreover, Wang Buli had no access to the army, so how could he go to Liangshan to rebel? What's more, Wang Buli had this title first, and Water Margin came out later.

This can't be done without spending money!

Zhu Biao also felt that Wang Buli could really spend money, so he kept talking and suggested that the court spend money to do things!
Since ancient times, the imperial court has collected taxes. Except for disaster relief, it rarely directly distributes money to the people.

Even if it is disaster relief, there are still middlemen who will help, and it may not really fall into the hands of the people affected by the disaster.

Last year, Lao Zhu wanted to provide disaster relief, but the grain chiefs got into trouble. He was so angry that he didn't even wait for noon, but cut it for them at midnight.

Follow their wishes and turn into ghosts to come to me!

I could kill you all while I was alive, let alone you bunch of unruly people.

Lao Zhu, who rolled out of the sea of ​​​​blood from the mountain of corpses, is really not afraid of the threat of the word "serious ghost".

If you really have the ability, just do it for us instead of relying on those ethereal things.

Lao Zhu himself had been a monk and had hooked up with the White Lotus Sect, so he didn't believe in these things.

It was through Wang Buli that he felt that there were immortals in the world, but he had never seen one before, so he was confused as to whether there were immortals.

Wang Buli looked at Zhu Yuanzhang thinking and curled his lips slightly. Lao Zhu had such a naughty temperament and belonged to Pixiu.

I just don’t want to spend money!
"How much will this cost?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought it would be better to listen to Wang Buli's plan and see if there was any way to cut some money out of it.

"I've never done this kind of budget."

Wang Buli also didn't know the situation in the north, especially in this era, when military reports from Peiping had to wait several days to be sent to Nanjing.

When Zhu Yuanzhang convened the ministers to discuss and give feedback, it would take several days to send it to the front line.

Therefore, although Lao Zhu planned the entire strategy, it was still extremely difficult to micro-manage it.

The message alone is not conveyed quickly.

What's more, prices are mostly different in various places in the north. Now Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself to make a budget for him on the spot, which was simply difficult to do.

"It doesn't matter, just follow the standards of Yong'an Village."

"Okay." Wang Buli nodded slightly. This was done by him personally:
“I gave everyone a moving allowance, one per household. Most of them moved here as a family, with as few as five people and as many as a dozen people.

The houses built were barely enough to live in, and those with a large population built wing rooms on both sides of the yard.

They borrowed this money from the Princess Mansion, and they only had to pay it back within the specified time. It would be interest-free for two years, and interest would start from the third year.

In the middle of the east and west rooms of a house is the living room, a place for guests to sit or for the whole family to eat in winter. In the east and west directions are small rooms such as kitchens and bathrooms and toilets.

This set costs about thirty-nine guan, not counting the furniture. I don't know how much it cost because they made it themselves. "

"How many?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.

A house in the village actually cost forty guan, which really opened his eyes.

"The house is made of blue bricks, not adobe, so it costs more."

"You paid for all this money?"

Listening to Wang Buli's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that it was so damn heroic to spend so much money on building a house.

"No, they came up with it themselves."

Wang Buli explained the affairs of his factory again.

Those iron stoves and tin buckets were all made by those craftsmen.

It's just that the monthly salary is divided half and half, so that the money can be slowly collected.

This can be regarded as a disguised increase in production and stimulate their labor initiative.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly. Wang Buli's behavior was equivalent to borrowing money, and it was interest-free.

Those craftsmen worked desperately for Wang Buli, and they obviously knew how to repay their kindness.

Wang Buli is actually not that interested in recovering his money. He is really not short of money at the moment.

This method is just to make those craftsmen give up.

"Well, that's a good idea."

Prime Minister Hu Weiyong nodded slightly, Wang Buli's method was quite able to win people's hearts.

Look around Yong'an Village. It's not like those nobles haven't been given land or something.

Which craftsmen and tenants can have such means?
"So, I will not only place the vassal princes around the Great Wall, but also place them all over the north."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Wang Buli's method could be copied. Anyway, the vassal king would only have more land than the princess, not less.

Since Wang Buli could manipulate a small number of immigrants, the vassal king could also lead a large number of immigrants to survive in the north.

"Your Majesty, not only that, but also like the Prince Consort, it is best to build factories in the north according to local conditions, so as to increase opportunities for the people to make money."

"That being said." Zhu Yuanzhang also agreed: "But does the imperial court purchase the products produced by the factories of vassal kings everywhere?

How can the imperial court have so much money to buy their things? "

Now Lao Zhu also realizes that printing treasure banknotes alone cannot solve the problem of Ming Dynasty's lack of money.

The money shortage problem of the Ming Dynasty can only be solved by relying on the discovery of silver mines in Japan and the discovery of copper mines in Yunnan.

Especially compared to Wang Buli who begged some craftsmen, the vassal king could not manage the people, but he could give them a group of slaves to do things.

"The Ming Dynasty cannot digest it internally, so it can be sold to Goryeo, Wa, Ryukyu and surrounding small countries first."

Wang Buli suggested that there should be no problem with maritime trade.

The coal mines in Shanxi can also be sold well if they are combined with iron stoves.

In addition, Lu silk is also very famous.

Shandong can also develop external ports and the like.

Henan, Hebei and other places are in trouble.

Wang Buli couldn't think of too many foreign trade products. Apart from making porcelain, he was also farming like crazy.

As for the northwest region, don’t even think about it for now. The Hexi Corridor is not yet completely under control.

At present, the feudal king system is quite practical.

Lao Zhu strengthened his control over local areas while defending the emperor, also to avoid the lesson of the late Yuan Dynasty when the royal family was unable to suppress rebels in various places.

That's why the clan had to be sealed to form a barrier.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still thinking, because he could feel that Wang Buli did not put food first.

But he is keen on building some kind of factory.

Even if the Jiangnan region produces a lot of food, if there is a flood, they won't have enough to eat in their own province, so how can they sell it to the food-deficient provinces in the north?
Not to mention the need to supply food and grass to soldiers stationed on the frontier.

"I think building a factory is actually secondary." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly: "It's better to open up wasteland and cultivate land to attract people, Bu Li, what do you think?"

Agricultural producing countries must of course focus on agriculture.

Wang Buli also knew what Lao Zhu meant. Once ocean trade started, the first people to eat meat would still be the people from Jiangnan.

In terms of technology and foundation, the North cannot even catch up.

"What your Majesty said is indeed very reasonable." Wang Buli slightly cupped his hands and said, "It's true that I didn't consider everything comprehensively."

"Hey." Zhu Yuanzhang paced slightly with his hands behind his back: "I am very inspired by your suggestions.

We think we can definitely give some preferential treatment to immigrants going to the north.

For example, the cost of settling in and building a new house, in addition to being exempted from land tax for the first three years, the cost of the new house must also be reflected in the tax.

For now, we are not going to move many people out at once, but let people sign up first and create ten villages.

This amount of money was not enough to repair the canal, so it was diverted to this project. "

Wang Buli had no intention of refuting Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas.

It is too common to misappropriate funds and demolish the east bridge to repair the west wall.

Anyway, the entire Ming Dynasty belongs to Lao Zhu, and he can arrange it however he wants.

Hu Weiyong was not to be outdone and quickly praised His Majesty for his wisdom.

He finally discovered that Wang Buli really didn't refute the emperor's ideas.

As long as you dare to say it, then I dare to agree.

As long as you dare to ask, I will dare to give you amazing advice.

In the end, it depends on whether you, the emperor, have the courage to use my idea.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more he felt that his idea was okay. He looked to one side:
"Hu Weiyong, please first draft a notice to target a family in Jiangnan with a large population or no land.

Let’s first see how many people have signed up, and then choose where to go. "

"Yes." Hu Weiyong responded quickly.

Wang Buli handed over his hand again: "Your Majesty, I have a little suggestion."

"speak."
