Three days passed, and the imperial court ordered officials from various places to report the registration status.

This made the officials very worried.

I used to think that the telegraph machine was a good thing. If anything happened, I could report it to the court as soon as possible!

But at this time, I suddenly felt that the telegraph machine was a scam!

In the past, when the news was blocked, a few days would pass by waiting for the court's order to come down, and then a few days would pass by when the news was reported.

During this period, they may be able to recruit a lot of people, and the reported numbers will look better!

But that's no longer possible. If a telegram is sent from the imperial court, they must report it immediately.

Once it is late, you will be held accountable.

"Master Sheriff, what should we do? Report it truthfully, or... lie?"

After the telegraph operator translated the meaning of the court, an official asked tentatively.

"Pa..."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the county guard gave him a glare, and then he received a hard slap on the head.

"Lied report? How dare you lie about such a thing? After the data is reported, once the court has to take people to Yizhou, how do you explain it? Let your family handle it?"

"No, no, I... how many people in our family are enough?"

After being scolded by the county guard, the official shrank his neck and did not dare to say a word.

"Hmph! Don't you know enough? When the court wants someone, where can I get it...?"

The county guard gave him a sharp look and said angrily, "Report the truth!"

Since few people in their county have signed up, it must be similar in other counties.

If you report it truthfully, the court may not blame you.

But if a false report is discovered, the consequences will be serious!

"yes!"

The official rubbed his head, responded with an aggrieved face, and ran to explain to the telegraph operator.

In half a day, the Ministry of Household Affairs tallied up the registration status of all counties and counties and reported it to Ying Zheng!

At this time, Ying Zheng was reviewing the memorial. After Jing Fu reported it, he led Zhang Han in.

"Zhang Aiqing!"

"Haha! But the statistics of immigration registration status in various places have been compiled?"

After seeing Zhang Han, the corners of Ying Zheng's mouth unconsciously lifted up, seeming to be in a good mood.

"Back to Your Majesty, the statistics of all counties have been completed!"

Zhang Han bowed and responded, but his eyebrows were always twisted together.

"Quick! Let me see how the situation is in various places?"

Ying Zheng seemed a little impatient.

Daqin has a population of over 40 million, so there must be many people willing to immigrate!

Zhang Han received the order and quickly took out the memorial from his arms and handed it over!

Ying Zheng took it with a smile on his face, but when he saw the contents recorded on the memorial, his expression instantly turned cold.

"Zhang Aiqing, are the number of people here in thousands?"

Ying Zheng still had the last glimmer of hope and raised his eyebrows in question.

Because the registration status of each county recorded in the memorial is almost in single digits.

If it is measured in thousands, if three to five thousand people signed up in three days, it would be pretty good.

Given time, we can still achieve the previously expected goals!

Although immigration is not as popular as he imagined, he may have achieved his goal, which is considered good!

After Zhang Han heard His Majesty's question, his heart suddenly "thumped".

How can this be measured in thousands?

When will the number of people reported be reported in thousands?

That’s it!

Those recorded above are the people who signed up to immigrate from each county.

You can count it in one slap!

"Return... to your Majesty, maybe the time is too short. The number of people reported for immigration this time is only a few, but as long as the government works hard to publicize it, the number will definitely increase in the future!"

There was no way, the data was too ugly, so Zhang Han had no choice but to find an excuse for the local governments.

"What? You mean, the only people who signed up to immigrate are those on the list? There are so many counties in Daqin, but there are less than a hundred people who signed up to immigrate?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately became anxious and threw the memorial directly on the Dragon Case.

There are not enough people to transport them on a steamer.

It is even said that there are not as many navies as escorts on the ship!

"Your Majesty, this is indeed the case for the time being!"

Zhang Han nodded tremblingly.

Originally, he wanted to wait until the morning to discuss it. If His Majesty was angry, His Royal Highness could still come to the rescue.

However, this number is too ugly. I am afraid that the officials will make nonsense after hearing it and spread it to the ears of the people, which will also discourage the people from signing up, so I present it now.

But he doesn't have as clever a mind as His Highness the Crown Prince.

Your Majesty is angry, but he has no good way to deal with it!

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, this is just the beginning. Slowly, more people will sign up!"

"Huh! It's been three days, and there are just a few people here and there. Even if we wait another thirty days, there won't be much more...!"

However, Ying Zheng did not buy it. He knew very well that there must be reasons for the people's unwillingness to immigrate. Only by fundamentally solving the problem can immigration be smooth. "Send an order to the officials in various places and ask them to bring their officials to personally

Go do the work of the common people, ask why you don’t want to immigrate, report it and discuss it together!”

"yes!"

Zhang Han agreed happily and then left.

"call……"

After leaving the imperial study room, I breathed a sigh of relief.

I finally got through this level!

Afterwards, he quickly sent a telegram to officials in various places and asked them to immediately investigate the reasons why the people were unwilling to immigrate!

…

"call……"

After receiving the telegram, the officials, like Zhang Han, breathed a sigh of relief.

"Fortunately, the court did not blame me!"

"I guess other counties are similar to us! The law does not punish everyone. Even if your Majesty is angry again, he will not be able to punish all counties!"

"People are unwilling to immigrate, so what can we do? It's useless even if we blame them!"

"So we are asked to investigate now and give you a reply in three days...!"

After receiving the telegram, officials from various places immediately sat together and studied it.

Then we divided the areas and took immediate action to go to the people and ask them why they were unwilling to immigrate!

It's impossible to go door to door. I just changed into casual clothes and went to places where the population is relatively concentrated to get a general understanding!

"Dear uncles and uncles, we would like to ask, what do you think about the imperial court's immigration?"

"How else can I watch it? Just sit and watch!"

An older man started to argue with him.

"Haha! That's not what I meant. We just wanted to ask, will you let your son immigrate to Yizhou?"

The official in civilian clothes was patient, forced an ugly smile, changed his approach, and continued to ask.

"Why did you immigrate to that place? Don't you have food for your family?"

The old man glanced at the official with contempt and said with a sneer.

“With the vast territory of the state, there are more opportunities to make money!”

"I'm afraid you can earn your life but lose your life, right?"

"No! Uncle, haven't you read the newspaper? The natives in Yizhou have been dealt with by the imperial court. It won't be long before they can be brought back to Daqin and work as slaves for us, building bridges and roads!"

"Then there's no need to go. Daqin is getting better and better every day. Why should we go there?"
Chapter completed!
