"Your Majesty has ordered that there is a severe drought in Shaanxi, and the Qin King's fiefdom has been temporarily requisitioned by the imperial court..." The first thing Huang Jin did after entering Shaanxi was to go to Xi'an Mansion to read out the imperial edict of Emperor Chongzhen.
Since Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, he has carried out a series of changes and recovered a large number of occupied military fields.
At the same time, the exemption of three wages has greatly reduced the life pressure of ordinary people.
However, the current land annexation situation in Ming Dynasty is still not optimistic. The situation of tax evasion is still serious.
Fortunately, the salt merchants, Shanxi merchants, and corrupt officials who were robbed during this period had considerable financial resources. In addition, his eldest brother left him a lot of wealth. For a time, the court was not short of money and could maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
But Zhu Youjian knew very well that this situation would not last long.
Although Zhu Youjian has already returned almost all his historical knowledge. However, we still know that the Ming Dynasty suffered constant natural and man-made disasters during the Chongzhen period, and the Ming Dynasty eventually fell due to peasant uprisings.
It can also be said that he died from lack of money and food.
Although Zhu Youjian is not short of money now, he also has the cheat "Meishan". But Zhu Youjian didn't dare to gamble.
Don't dare to gamble with your own life and the lives of millions of people in Ming Dynasty.
The best way to solve this problem is to occupy more land.
However, the powerful enemies around the Ming Dynasty have not yet been eliminated, and the navy has long lost its glory.
How easy is it to expand your territory?
But time does not wait for anyone, and the disaster will not end early because Zhu Youjian is the Ming emperor.
The growth cycle of grain will not be shortened because of Zhu Youjian's identity.
In order to cope with the continuous disasters, apart from building water conservancy projects, the only way is to immigrate abroad on a large scale.
This is also the fundamental reason why Zhu Youjian ordered Zhu Youjian to allow the slaves to attack North Korea.
Because Zhu Youjian knew very well that if the slave-building troops pressed on the border, North Korea would surely surrender.
In this way, it would be equivalent to North Korea abandoning the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Youjian had the reason to send troops to attack North Korea.
Excuses may not seem important, but they are actually more important than anything else.
With this excuse, Zhu Youjian could bring North Korea, a "country without conquest", into the arms of the Ming Dynasty.
In Liaodong plus the Korean Peninsula, it is not a problem to accommodate 2 million people.
Although it may not completely alleviate the crisis of the Ming Dynasty, it can indeed greatly relieve the pressure of the Ming Dynasty and provide enough time for the development of the navy of the Ming Dynasty.
When Ming Dynasty's navy is strong enough, Ming Dynasty will show its fangs. No, it's time for Ming Dynasty to save the natives who were oppressed by the red barbarians.
But all this takes time.
The country's stability must be guaranteed during this period.
In the case of constant natural disasters.
Work-for-relief is indeed a good method, but the prerequisite for realizing work-for-relief is that the court has enough food and money.
At least in the eyes of the people, there is enough food.
The imperial court is not short of food, but Shaanxi is short of food.
Even though Zhu Youjian made preparations in advance, he still could not change the fact that Shaanxi was short of food.
Under the deceptive transportation conditions, even if all efforts are made to transport grain, it will not be able to meet Shaanxi's consumption.
Moreover, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi and the water level of the Yellow River dropped significantly, further exacerbating the pressure on food transportation.
Therefore, it is necessary to let the people of Shaanxi get out.
But the Han people love their families and are unwilling to travel far as long as they can survive.
It is very difficult to get the Han people out of Shaanxi, especially for the people of Shaanxi who have not yet fallen into despair.
And the imperial court is not suitable to use force to expel the people.
The only way left is to induce them with benefits.
Zhu Youjian's so-called benefit is land.
Since ancient times, the Han people have had a special affection for the land.
Zhu Youjian asked Huang Jin to requisition land from the King of Qin immediately, intending to use the King of Qin's land as a deposit to attract Han people in Shaanxi to join the work-for-relief team.
Ever since, there was the matter of Huang Jin expropriating the farmland of King Qin.
King Qin Zhu Yizhen originally wanted to refuse, but after looking at the Shang Fang sword in Huang Jin's hand, he finally chose to agree.
After all, the imperial court only requisitioned land, and taxes and other things still fell into the hands of the King of Qin. He had no losses at all. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to betray the emperor and gain face?
After getting the promise from King Qin, Huang Jin started planning.
"Your Majesty has an order to recruit 50,000 paid laborers to repair officialdom. For one year, the work will be sufficient, and there will be 5 kilograms of grain every day. As long as you work well, you can get 5 acres of fertile land after one year."
"Your Majesty has an order to recruit 50,000 paid laborers to repair the official system. It will last for one year. The work will be sufficient and there will be 5 pounds of food every day. As long as the work is done well, one year later..."
Amid the roars of the Jinyiwei, the imperial decree continued to spread throughout the villages.
"Master, come down quickly and finish drinking the herbal tea."
"Is it true that the imperial court recruited paid laborers?"
"Of course it's true. The notice was posted at the gate of the county town. How could it be fake? By the way, he rode a horse and ran all the way. Go and give my horse some water."
"okay."
"You have enough to eat, is it true?"
"I still have 5 kilograms of grain every day, is it true?"
"After working for one year, can I get 5 acres of fertile land?"
After a while, the Jin Yiwei who was delivering the order was surrounded by the people.
"It's all true..."
"Okay, okay, if you want to sign up, go to the county seat to sign up. I have to go to the next village to deliver the news."
.....
Since the failure of the imperial government's decrees to be delivered in the south almost caused a civil uprising, Jinyiwei has had an additional responsibility, which is to deliver the decrees to the countryside.
Although it was much harder than before, under the charm of Yinzi, the Jin Yiwei at the bottom did not complain much.
Instead, I hope I can run more times.
.....
"Master, I sign up, I sign up."
"This is your settlement fee and registration slip. We will gather here tomorrow at Chenshi and after dinner, we will set off as a group. Remember, if any official defaults on your food and salary, report it directly to the Jin Yiwei. His Majesty will support you."
All of a sudden, all counties and cities in Shaanxi were filled with registration lines.
10,000, 20,000, 30,000. In just 5 days, Xi'an Prefecture recruited 30,000 people. Plus Yan'an. The number of workers recruited in Qingyang and other places has already exceeded 100,000.
At this time, Huang Jin still did not order to stop recruitment.
Because Huang Jin knew very well that once these people who signed up were rejected, there were only two results waiting for them, one was to live in another country, and the other was to starve to death alive.
No matter what the outcome is, Huang Jin doesn't want to see it.
As for overstaffing, Huang Jin was not worried at all. According to His Majesty's plan, the so-called official system reconstruction plan was not limited to Shaanxi. The Ming Dynasty was so big that there were many official systems that needed to be repaired.
There were so many people signing up that it was just in time to send them out of Shaanxi to repair official roads in other places. It can also reduce the pressure on the court to transport food.
