My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 379 Exile Prisoners to Tianzhu

"Prisoner? What's your idea?"

Zhu Di was taken aback when he heard the words, not understanding what Zhu Zhanhe meant.

"Grandfather, as far as I know, there are thousands of prisoners in prisons in the capital alone. Based on this, it is estimated that there are at least tens of thousands of prisoners in prisons all over the country."

Of course, the tens of thousands is just Zhu Zhanhe's estimate. After all, Beijing is the capital, and some serious criminals from all over the country will be sent to the capital for interrogation and detention, so the number of prisoners is the largest.

"There are so many prisoners in the prison, not only need to be guarded by manpower, but also to take care of food and shelter. If the prisoner escapes, it will take a lot of manpower and material resources to arrest, so it is really time-consuming and labor-intensive. Unpleasant thing."

Zhu Zhanhe said with a smile again.

"What the hell are you trying to say, don't go around the corner!"

Zhu Di glared at Zhu Zhanhe and scolded.

"I want to say that since these prisoners are expensive to lock up, it is better to send them to Tianzhu directly, so that the court will save a lot of expenses, and my father will have more manpower!"

Zhu Zhanhe finally expressed his thoughts.

How did the future Australia come about?Isn't it the big prison for exiled prisoners in Britain?So Zhu Zhanhe planned to follow suit directly and send the prisoners of Daming to Tianzhu first.

Of course, we can’t have all the prisoners. Those murderous death row inmates should be executed directly. The remaining prisoners with relatively minor crimes and relatively low risks can be sent to Tianzhu for reformation.

"Send the prisoners to Tianzhu! Can your father agree?"

Zhu Di was shocked at first, and then asked in puzzlement.

In this era, there is no such thing as giving prisoners a chance to reform. A criminal is a criminal, even if the crime is not a capital crime, he will still be discriminated against after he comes out.

So in Zhu Di's view, sending the criminals to Tianzhu would only add to the chaos for Zhu Gaoxu. After all, when a group of criminals gather together, who knows what will happen?

"Grandfather, criminals are also human beings. Although they have made mistakes, they have the opportunity to correct themselves. For example, most of the prisoners in the Song Dynasty were exiled to the army. The famous Di Qing was born as a prisoner. There are many others like this, so I think we can give those prisoners a chance to correct themselves." Chance."

Zhu Zhanhe paused at this point, and then said: "As for my father, now that Tianzhu is newly attached, the rule is not stable, and Han people are needed to settle down, but most people are probably unwilling to take the risk, so Let the prisoners go to Tianzhu to lay a foundation first, and let them make some contributions to Tianzhu!"

In fact, letting the prisoners go to Tianzhu is also an unavoidable solution. If they immigrate directly, even if Zhu Di agrees to order the relocation, the people will definitely not want it. Who would want to?

In fact, this kind of thing was done in the Ming Dynasty. For example, after Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, because of the war in the north, the population was sparsely populated and large tracts of fertile land were abandoned. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang launched several large-scale immigrations, known in history as the "Great Immigration in the Early Ming Dynasty", even until Zhu Di succeeded to the throne. At the time, this migration continued.

In the whole large immigration in the early Ming Dynasty, it is said that the number of migrants reached one million, affecting more than half of China. However, during the migration process, there were also many problems, such as the reluctance of the people, which led to the government’s coercion, etc., and even a lot of problems occurred. unrest.

Now that the large-scale immigration in Ming Dynasty has basically stopped, and the people have settled down, Zhu Zhanhe doesn't want to cause another big turmoil among the people because of going to Tianzhu, so the emigration should be mainly lured , try not to force.

"I understand. You want to use prisoners to open the way. When these prisoners gain a firm foothold in Tianzhu, news will spread to Daming. At that time, if you lure them with huge profits, some people will definitely take the risk to go to Tianzhu!"

At this time, Zhu Di finally understood Zhu Zhanhe's thoughts, and at the end he showed a pensive look.

"Exactly, instead of forcing the people to relocate, it's better to make huge profits. If some prisoners go to Tianzhu, they can live comfortably, and even get rich overnight, there will definitely be people willing to follow suit!"

Zhu Zhanhe nodded immediately.

When Ming immigrants went to Tianzhu, they would definitely be given some benefits, such as allocating land and tools. It can be said that when they came to Tianzhu, they became landlords directly. As long as they worked hard, they could get rich just around the corner.

Hearing what Zhu Zhanhe said, Zhu Di pondered for a moment again, and finally nodded and said: "Alright, since you said so, then I promise you, don't you want the Ministry of Officials to send someone to help you? A few officials, help you deal with the prisoners!"

"Thank you, grandpa!"

Zhu Zhanhe was overjoyed and saluted when he heard the words.

"It's just some prisoners, see how happy you are."

Seeing Zhu Zhanhe's performance, Zhu Di couldn't help laughing.

After that, Zhu Di and Zhu Zhanhe chatted a few words, and when Zhu Zhanhe was about to say goodbye and leave, suddenly Zhu Di asked again: "Zhanhe, did you have a conflict with your elder brother?"

"Ok?"

Zhu Zhanhe was taken aback for a moment, and then he asked, "What did the elder brother say to you?"

He and Zhu Zhanji had a disagreement at the Gongyuan that day. Apart from the two of them, only Zhang Zhong knew about it, but Zhang Zhong had already gone to Nanjing, so the only possibility was that Zhu Zhanji complained to Zhu Di.

"Your elder brother is quite dissatisfied with your recruitment of scholars to Tianzhu. He feels that this is digging the foundation of Ming Dynasty, so he complained to me a few words."

At the end of Zhu Di's speech, he sighed and frowned slightly, as if he was a little unhappy.

"Grandpa Huang, my elder brother and I did have some disagreements, but I don't think it's a big problem. After all, even brothers, bumps and bumps are unavoidable sometimes."

Zhu Zhanhe nodded and admitted, since Zhu Zhanji has already complained to Zhu Di, there is no need for him to hide it.

"Your elder brother is good at everything, but he is not open-minded enough. He is not as good as your uncle in this regard."

Zhu Di sighed at this point.

In fact, Zhu Di is also to blame for this. Since Zhu Zhanhe was born, Zhu Zhanhe has been brought up by Zhu Di himself, and he was established as his grandson earlier. This also caused Zhu Zhanji to regard Daming as his own, and did not allow Anyone coveted.

"People will grow up. Big brother may not be able to figure it out now, but I believe he will be able to figure it out in the future."

Zhu Zhanhe didn't know what to say, so he could only persuade according to Zhu Di's intention.

"Although you are younger than Zhanji, you kid is open-minded. If your elder brother says something unpleasant in the future, don't take it to heart."

At this time Zhu Di stepped forward and patted Zhu Zhanhe on the shoulder, and finally said again.

"In addition, don't worry, Daming has your uncle's share, and your father's share. I will leave the throne to your uncle, and I will definitely not treat your father badly. If you need anything in the future, just ask directly, don't be so devious. !"
