The silk spinning industry was originally an industry that relied on intensive labor, and a large number of people survived with this industry. However, after a series of machines such as steam spinning machines appeared, the dense population there became a huge burden. The Ming Dynasty consciously developed the abnormal development here, which also caused the food here to be transported from outside. Too much population was also a great pressure on it. Once something happened, it was very easy to form a burst point. When the Ming Dynasty conquered the Chu State, it easily put the four counties in Jiangnan in trouble, and thus took the place without bloodshed.

But now, this is also a problem that the Ming court needs to solve. Therefore, diversion of population is imperative. In order not to cause this potential hidden danger to erupt at a critical moment, Qin Feng would rather take fierce measures to solve this problem in advance without being prepared.

"Xingming, tell me about the placement of these people next?" Qin Feng looked at Geng Jingming, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Geng Jingming took out a notebook from his arms and opened it on his knees. "This time, the population diversion of Chu territory not only involves the four counties in Jiangnan, but also the Shangjing City. Shangjing, as the former capital of Chu State, had a population of over one million, but now, they are just a county in the Ming Dynasty. Although the role of the economic center of Chu territory still exists, the population of over one million is already a huge burden. Moreover, Ma Gong believes that there is no need for so many people here. At this point, I admire Ma Gong's ability. In Shangjing City alone, the immigration this time has reached tens of thousands, and in the future, there will be more."

"Ma Gong is a pillar of the country." Qin Feng praised his old minister, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was a ox. Whether in Changyang County, which was once impoverished, or in Shangjing, the base camp occupied by the Min family in Chu, he could do his job beautifully. Qin Feng knew about the immigration to the capital. He was basically people with close ties with the Min family. Those people were of some wealth and could be considered rich families. No matter what methods Ma Xiangnan used, these rich families moved to the poor Cenzhou, which would definitely be a great help to the local economic development.

"The immigrants in Beijing are all from one family to another, and they run away from their families. It seems that there are many people, but it is easier to deal with it, because after all, they are relatives and feel that they have some reliance, so there will be no more things. They have a lot of financial resources. When they arrive in Cenzhou, Yue Kaishan has prepared fields, livestock, and houses for them, which will be sold to them at extremely low prices. Soon, they will be able to settle down." Geng Mingming said: "But the immigration situation in Jiangnan is much more complicated."

Qin Feng nodded.

"There are two different situations in Jiangnan. One is that the crime was undoubtedly committed in this riot. This group is a way of dealing with it. After discussing with Yue Kaishan, the Zhengshitang decided to take the effective method we had in the past, that is, to build labor reform farms one by one, and these people need to undergo labor reform in these farms." Geng Mingming said: "Depending on the severity of the crime, the punishments of these people are also different, but the lightest is also three years, and the most is as high as more than ten years. Most of the people sentenced severely involve some bad crimes such as beating, smashing, and robbing."

"They deserve it." Qin Feng frowned and said with a smile.

"These people can become our free labor force for a long time." Geng Jingming smiled: "But there are another group of people who were only incited by Qi people. The number of spinners in the Mob Port Association is the largest. Of course, in some ways, they are innocent. If it were not for the immigration strategy of the court, their crime would be at most, but now they are exiled as criminals for thousands of miles."

Speaking of this, Geng Jingming showed a hint of unbearable expression on his face, but this emotion flashed through his eyes: "So when Dali Temple tried these people, it adopted a special method. If the family of these people was willing to go to Cenzhou with the ruthless person, then his identity as a criminal will be cancelled. When they get there, they will be given an interest-free loan to allocate houses, land, farm tools, livestock, etc.."

"This method is good, they should agree?"

"Two-thirds of them agreed, but one-third still don't want to go there alone, and they would rather endure hardships than their family members to suffer with them!" Geng Jingming spread his hands.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Is it a big deal to suffer? I have to say that in a few years, maybe those who stayed may regret their death and did not go with me. Smart, how many of the first batch of such immigrants were there?"

"Your Majesty, there are more than 50,000 people." Geng Mingming said, "This is a huge number. Such a large immigrant community will add countless troubles to wherever it goes."

"As long as they are willing to go, Jiangnan will reduce the population pressure, and Cenzhou will solve the anger of no population. The court can bear any troubles." Qin Feng said relaxedly: "First transport those who are willing to travel with their families. First, take the water route, transport them to Quanzhou by boat, then take the sea boat from Quanzhou to Baoqing, then take the rail car from Baoqing to Hulao, and finally notify Hulao to organize a large number of mules and horses to transport these people to Cenzhou. The court will bear the expenses required."

Hearing that the court was responsible for it, Geng Jingming immediately turned into a bitter face.

"Don't make a bitter look. I don't care where you squeeze out the money, but you have to squeeze out." Qin Feng slapped the table and said.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Geng Jingming sighed.

"The Political Affairs Hall told Yue Kaishan that he would divide the land and build houses for me in the shortest time, allocate livestock from Qingzhou, and collect food from Hulao, Yongjun and other places. You can use local garrisons to complete these things. Kitten, go back and give orders to all garrisons in the west to help them complete this major event. Except for the army in Hengduan Mountain that cannot move, other troops can be put into it."

"clear."

"clear!"

Jin Jingnan and the kitten responded at the same time.

"In a year, I hope that in a year, Yue Kaishan will place these people well in Cenzhou, so that they will become a benchmark and a role model. Just like when our Ming Dynasty attracted Qin people to immigrate, it formed a siphon effect, so that more people will continue to go to the west to start businesses and establish a foundation in the future." Qin Feng said loudly: "The court should provide support on this. The local counties of the Ming Dynasty should form assistance pairs with the county governors in the west and provide one-on-one assistance. The county governors in the west who did not increase their economy and population would not increase their population. The county governors in the Ming Dynasty who formed their pairs with them shall not be rated as top-notch when they evaluated their performance." Qin Feng looked at Fang Dazhi, the Minister of Personnel again.

Fang Dazhi nodded repeatedly.

"Over the years, our local prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty have all become rich and rich, but some people have become petty and have made them help in difficult places, just like Shayang County. Last year, I asked them to form a pair of assistance with Cenzhou, but a year has passed, how much did they take out? How much did they invest there? Shayang County has already begun to distribute pension money to elderly people over the age of 60, and the reputation of local officials is nowhere to be placed in the local area. I heard that the Wanmin umbrella was almost out of place." Qin Feng's tone suddenly became stern. "Look at Taiping County, their economic conditions are much worse than Shayang County, but Yingzhou, which they have helped, this year, the cement avenues in the entire prefecture and county are about to be built. This is really doing things, thinking about Daming, rather than just thinking about one acre and three-point land in their own home."

Qin Feng suddenly broke out without warning, and Fang Dazhi was sweating profusely, and Tian Zhen on one side also lowered his head and said nothing. Among the people present, Fang Dazhi and Tian Kang were from Shayang, and Fang Dazhi is now the leader of the Shayang system.

"Your Majesty, after you go down, you will immediately send a letter to Shayang and severely denounce them. Last year, their assessments will be lowered by one level. If there is no action this year, all assessments will be transferred!" Fang Dazhi said.

Jin Jingnan snorted coldly on the side: "In my opinion, Shayang County should be rectified. The court gave all prefectures and counties great autonomy, but it was not for them to draw land as prisons and regard themselves as local emperors."

This was said seriously. Fang Dazhi immediately stood up and bowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I am willing to guarantee it with my life. The officials of Shayang County will never dare to have such thoughts. They just have a lack of vision. After this, there will be a big change."

"Then I will wait and see." Qin Feng suddenly laughed: "Dazhi, why are you nervous? Sit down and talk. This matter has nothing to do with you."

Naturally, the emperor would not come here for no reason. These people have been with Qin Feng for many years and are very clear about Qin Feng's habits. Qin Feng never calls himself me in front of people he is familiar with, but is no different from ordinary people, calling himself me, but once the emperor starts to call himself me in them, it means he is really angry.

Everyone couldn't help but silence for three minutes for the current Shayang County Magistrate. This career has ended here. This person will never stay in the position of Shayang County Magistrate next year. Maybe he will go to the west and taste the suffering that Yue Kaishan and others are suffering now.
