Chapter 30 Immigration urgently

Zhou Mengchen said: "You have just come from here, can you have a plan for long-term stability?"

Tang Shunzhi said, "It was not originally possible. But after hearing about the Five Guards of the East China Sea, I had an idea."

Zhou Mengchen had some associations in his mind and said, "But immigrate overseas?"

Tang Shunzhi said: "That's true."

"Tingzhou Prefecture, Yanping Prefecture, Shaowu Prefecture, Nan'an Prefecture, Ganzhou Prefecture, Ji'an Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, Jianchang Prefecture. The mountains are intertwined and the gullies are connected. It is difficult for the people to plan their lives in the mountains. Zhang Lian is just a bandit, and gathers only tens of thousands of people in Chaozhou. Once they enter this place, they turn around and change, hundreds of thousands of people will respond. It is not Zhang Lian who has extraordinary virtues, but this place is not the place, and the people are living in poverty. The court has used many methods, even if it is his master, Yangming Gong, Governor Gannan, and the imperial court has used many methods.

, It was just a few decades ago. At that time, I was practicing Baojia and Da'an. I didn't expect that it would collapse thirty years later. It was really that its land could not support its people. The population was growing, and in order to make a life, I had to raise my arms and shout, and use the courage to be a chariot to seek a temporary life for one or two years. Tang's talent was far inferior to his predecessor. What could I do here to temporarily appease the people and implement benevolent policies. It is probably a luxury to be able to keep safe for ten years. I think that only immigrants can be immigrated."

"There are already a narrow place in the south. The southwest is fighting for the fields with the Miao people, and there are many wars, and local tourists are fighting for each other. It is a well and a lot of corpses are buried."

"The only way to remove the firewood from the cauldron is to immigrate to the Kuan Township, which gives the people a chance to breathe."

After listening carefully, Zhou Mengchen felt his heart tightening and as if he had been caught by something.

Zhou Mengchen had never thought about this issue carefully. The four words "overpopulation" seem so simple, but the cruelty behind it makes people feel cold. Zhou Mengchen had to admit that most areas of the Ming Dynasty entered this process. It was nothing more than the depth. Generally speaking, the degree of overpopulation in the south was better than that in the north.

There are other reasons for war in the north, and the population growth is not too overwhelming. Moreover, the north is a place where people migrate, such as Liaodong.

Many people think that the situation of breaking through Guandong was only found in the Qing Dynasty, but in the Ming Dynasty it was already found. Near the Yalu River area, it was almost an open space in the early Ming Dynasty, but when the Later Jin Dynasty revolted, the eight forts of Kuandian had become a densely populated area. Speaking of which, it was quickly filled by a large number of people during the Wanli period.

In Shanxi, a large number of people came out of seclusion and defected to the Mongols. This is definitely not just about the darkness of the Ming Dynasty's political affairs.

Indeed, the chieftains rebelled repeatedly, and almost all the chieftains rebelled in the Wanli, Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties.

From the perspective of the court, these toasts were ambitions and restless. But in the view of the toasts, on the one hand, a large number of people inflows increased their strength. On the other hand, a large number of foreign populations inflows and the increase in Han people also shook their rule, allowing them to have various reactions.

This is actually a population problem.

On the other hand, the matter of going out to sea in Fujian, Guangdong and other places that began during the Jiajing period and were in progress until the demise of the Qing Dynasty, the people did not know that the Southeast Asian countries were not good, not just diseases, but even various unfair treatments, or even deaths?

But why do they still remain unrestrained?

It's nothing more than that I can't survive at home.

Zhou Mengchen suddenly felt that his overseas expansion plan was actually urgent. He had never experienced it personally. The despair of the people at the bottom of these places was so desperate that almost every generation would rebel and fight with death.

Zhou Mengchen said, "This matter is of great importance, so let me think twice." Although Zhou Mengchen understood the urgency of this matter, he still had to do things step by step. It is useless to be anxious about many things.

"The officials understand. They are just the officials-------" Tang Shunzhi choked up in time.

He didn't know what to say.

After all, he knew what Zhou Mengchen said, and now the day of the battle is about to be confronted. You can't interrupt the day of the battle plan when you suddenly say this. Even if you start preparing for this matter now, it will take several years to do it.

Zhou Mengchen said: "You have just stepped down and the court has not arranged it yet. However, I have a position. Are you willing?"

Tang Shunzhi said: "Sir, please speak."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Actually, you can see that I have the intention of operating overseas. Not to mention anything else, even if the people have a place to go, they must manage well. But today's officials value the capital and are less than foreign officials, let alone overseas. Therefore, in the future, I will prepare to request the people to set up a Beiyang Governor and the Nanyang Governor, and to supervise all countries to pay tribute, and clean up overseas, control the sea, and overseas troops. Do you have any intention?"

When Tang Shunzhi heard this, he was immediately excited. He immediately felt that this governor of the North and South Oceans was like a custodian of the Han and Tang dynasties, governing military and civilians internally and vassal states externally. He may not be attractive to ordinary people, but to Tang Shunzhi, who had a gap in his heart, it was really attractive to civil and military versus all-rounders like Tang Shunzhi.

Tang Shunzhi immediately said, "Please rest assured. The lower-ranking officials should be dispatched by the Lord. We should take Ban Chao as an example. If we do not seek survival in the border area, we should only repay you if we die."

Zhou Mengchen said, "Why do you need this? The court will not use people to death even if they employ people. However, you can go back and clean up and prepare to go out to sea with me."

Tang Shunzhi said: "Yes."

Zhou Mengchen originally had no urgent thoughts about rule over the sea. After all, Zhou Mengchen knew very well that if he did many things too quickly, the greater the resistance. But after listening to Tang Shunzhi's words, he was inevitably a little urgent in his heart.

In his heart, he had many ideas about maritime management, but in the end he imitated the division between the North and South and the Oceans of the Qing Dynasty. He prepared to set up two governors and divide China's seaside into two parts. In fact, this is also related to trade.

Now the Ming Dynasty maritime trade is two parts of the East and South China. The two governors' yamen manage one separately, as the source of wealth for both sides.

After all, any yamen needs money to maintain it.

However, in this way, the importance of the Nanyang Yamen is far greater than that of the Beiyang Yamen, and the Beiyang Yamen cannot be stationed in Tianjin.

Zhou Mengchen thought about it and said to the people around him: "Let Hu Zongxian come to see me."

Hu Zongxian arrived soon and greeted Zhou Mengchen with respect.

When Zhou Mengchen saw Hu Zongxian, he couldn't help but say, "Brother Hu is thin."

Hu Zongxian said: "If you dare not do your best to do your best, how can you not lose weight?"

Zhou Mengchen smiled slightly in his heart when he heard this. He knew why Hu Zongxian was thin, and he decided not to do things. Although the matter of sorting out the sanitation office made Hu Zongxian offend many people, and there was almost a lot of curses in the southeast. The gentry in the southeast said that Hu Zongxian was a treacherous minister, but Hu Zongxian provided Zhou Mengchen with more than 7 million taels of military expenditure. It can be said that the funds for the transformation of the Zhejiang Army, Jiangnan Army, Fujian Army, etc. Zhou Mengchen's many wars in Taizhou, Jiangbei, Yangtze River Estuary, and Fujian were all given by Hu Zongxian.

With this living money, Zhou Mengchen has room to move around in many things.

Hu Zongxian made contributions to it. Although his reputation was a little unpleasant, these things were actually not difficult for Hu Zongxian.

What really made Hu Zongxian thin was that he was mixed with the Zhou Party and Yan Party, and it had reached an unsustainable point. Hu Zongxian was not tolerant of Yan Party at this moment. In fact, Yan Song was not without a mind, but he was a winner who was tolerant. If Yan Party had a good situation now, the situation was very good. Yan Song decided to be more tolerant of Hu Zongxian and did not care about past grudges. Now Yan Party has been defeated repeatedly, although it has not reached the point where the tree fell and macaques scattered. However, he is not so tolerant of Hu Zongxian.

Hu Zongxian himself is also a very clever person. He also saw the crisis of Yan Party, which is deeply rooted. As Yan Song gets older, no one can catch the Yan Party’s battle.

Hu Zongxian was also thinking about a way out in his heart.

He even worried that Zhou Mengchen would not accept him and would make him a lonely ghost, which would be difficult.

This is the Ming Dynasty. Even when Zhou Mengchen was weak, he had to hide under the Xu party. It can be seen that non-party and non-sects seem to be relaxed, but in fact they are marginalized ghosts.

This is not what Hu Zongxian wanted.

This is the reason why Hu Zongxian's belt is getting wider.
