Never conquered land? Just conquered people temporarily?
Because of this, there have been people coveting the Central Plains for thousands of years on the grassland, and everyone nodded in confusion.
"Then tell me, how to conquer this land?" Lao Zhu looked slightly moved and asked what everyone was thinking.
Han Du nodded with a smile, "If you have land, you will have products, and if you have products, you can feed people. Let's take Naha as an example. The reason why he can attract hundreds of thousands of people is not because of his ability. Instead, it relies on the large black land in Liaodong and Liaohe areas."
As he spoke, Han Du stretched out his hand and drew a circle on the map, "This vast plain is fertile and rich in products. Even if the Ming Dynasty wiped out all Naha and killed all his hundreds of thousands of people, there would be no other way. How long will it take for people to pop up here again like mushrooms after a rain?”
"Why is this happening?" Seeing that Han Du didn't mean to offend his superiors, Tang He temporarily put his mind at ease and simply asked.
"Because we can feed people here." Han Du solemnly tapped the area of Liaodong and Liaohe twice with his fingers.
He raised his head and looked at Lao Zhu with candid eyes, "There are many precarious people in this world. As long as the output of the land here can still feed people, it will inevitably be like a magnet, attracting people to come. And because the lives of the people of the Ming Dynasty are better than These places are much better, so no common people will choose to go here. The only ones who will go here are the homeless people outside the customs."
"This is why for thousands of years, people on this land have always been killing people. Because as long as the output of the land here can still feed people, there will always be homeless people gathering here desperately."
Lao Zhu's pupils suddenly shrank violently, and then returned to normal.
The expressions of the others were similar to his. At most, it would take a little longer to return to normal than Lao Zhu.
It turns out that this is the reason, it turns out that it is like this!
For thousands of years, from the Xiongnu to Xianbei, to the Turks, and later the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. The vagrants outside the customs are always killed and exterminated, and no one has ever thought about why this is the case.
Maybe it's not that no one has thought about it, but they just can't find the reason. I just think that this is a phenomenon that rises and falls. When the Central Plains was strong, it could easily drive away the wanderers outside the Pass like rabbits. But once the Central Plains became corrupted, they would once again face threats from outside the Pass.
Countless battles have been fought between the Central Plains and the Outer Pass, and countless people have died over the years, but in the end they can only exchange for a short period of peace.
Even Lao Zhu himself has no hope of being able to completely solve the personal problem outside Guanwai. He just thought that he could hit Meng Yuan harder and make them recover slower.
Because he also knew that the Ming Dynasty would have its ups and downs, and that it would not be able to remain strong forever, nor would the Ming Dynasty remain forever. In Lao Zhu's heart, he would be satisfied if the Ming Dynasty could last for three hundred years.
But Lao Zhu did not expect that Han Du would point out that the reason why these homeless people were killing them was actually the land.
"Come on, everyone, sit down and talk." Lao Zhu reacted and quickly asked everyone to sit down, ready to listen to what Han Du had to say.
Everyone sat down as instructed. They didn't want to leave, and they also wanted to hear what Han Du had to say. If this eternal problem can really be solved, hiss~
Without this hidden danger, what would the future of the Ming Dynasty look like?
"Go on, no matter what you say today, I am all ears."
Lao Zhu's words immediately made the people around him startled, and then they felt relieved. Although "All ears, listen to the emperor" is not commonly used, it is not unheard of. Since ancient times, there have been emperors who, in order to seek advice from a certain wise man, would not hesitate to wait for him and talk by candlelight at night.
Not only will no one think that the emperor is disrespectful of etiquette, but he will be regarded as a model of emperor's etiquette and virtuous corporal.
Of course, there were emperors who brought in talented people but only asked some ridiculous questions. It is precisely because of this that there is a saying "It's a pity that the front table is empty in the middle of the night, and you don't ask the people or the ghosts and gods."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him with dazzling eyes, Han Du smiled and bowed slightly to Lao Zhu, "Your Majesty is serious. I just expressed my humble opinion. If there is any inappropriateness, please forgive me."
"You just have to say what you want, and you don't have to worry about anything else." Lao Zhu expressed his unlimited support for Han Du in the most direct manner.
There is no other reason, just because Lao Zhu knows that with Han Du's character, since he said these words at this time, he must have a countermeasure. And Han Du's countermeasures are what Lao Zhu is eager to know. No matter what problems he faces, Han Du has enough countermeasures to solve them easily, and many times Han Du's methods can finally surprise people, but the effect is very good.
Han Du's smile remained unchanged and he said calmly: "Land is the basis for people's survival. Since the homeless people will gather again because of the products on the land, then we only need to take away or occupy the products, and then we will naturally stop them. It gives them a foundation to grow again.”
"But you also said that it is bitterly cold outside the Pass, and no one in the Ming Dynasty is willing to go there. How can we occupy these lands?" Zhu Biao is very familiar with government affairs, and his understanding of civil affairs exceeds that of others who only know how to fight. Duke. I know deeply that people will not let go of a good life and choose to go to a bitter and cold place.
Unless, they have no choice.
As soon as the last thought came to Zhu Biao's mind, Lao Zhu laughed out loud and said lightly: "It's simple. I only need a decree to move some people over and occupy the land."
Lao Zhu's acting style is still as simple and rough as ever. If you have no money, print treasure banknotes and spend the paper as money; if you need people, then migrate. Anyway, there are many people in Ming Dynasty.
But he never thought about whether this would have advantages or disadvantages.
"No, Your Majesty." Han Du waved his hand quickly, trying to stop Lao Zhu's crazy thoughts.
Um? Lao Zhu looked at Han Du carefully in confusion and didn't understand why Han Du's reaction was so big. From what he saw, migration couldn't be easier.
Seeing that other than Zhu Biao, everyone else looked at him with the same expression as Lao Zhu. Han Du quickly explained: "Your Majesty, the Ming Dynasty has just recovered from the war in the late Yuan Dynasty. People's minds have been settled, and now they are rashly relocating the people. Not only will it increase casualties, but it will also cause the migrating people to be alienated from the Ming Dynasty. I want to ask, if the people who migrated are hostile to the Ming Dynasty, what is the use of such migration? "
They were obviously living a good life in the Ming Dynasty, with enough food and clothing, but they were forced to move to a bitter cold land of ice and snow. I am afraid that no matter who encounters such a thing, they will not be happy and will be resentful towards Daming.
