My father Zhu Gaoxu

Chapter 402 Immigration Issues

The place where Yang Shiqi and Zhang Zhong lived was called Immigrant Village. The people who migrated from Daming were all concentrated here for the time being, and their fields were also scattered around the village.

This is mainly for safety reasons. After all, in a foreign country, there are people of other races around. If the immigrants are separated and settled, it may be dangerous, so they are placed in one place.

Yang Shiqi and the others happened to walk outside the immigrant village, but they heard the sound of blowing, blowing and beating coming from inside, and there was also a hustle and bustle, as if someone was having a wedding.

"Is someone among the immigrants getting married?"

Yang Shiqi asked in surprise.

You must know that among the prisoners who came this time, there were only less than 300 female prisoners, and these female prisoners are very vigilant. Even if they know that marriage is good, they are afraid that they will be wronged. After all, those who want to marry them are all male prisoners. God knows What crimes have they committed before?

Therefore, after these people were resettled in the immigrant village, although the male prisoners took the initiative, the female prisoners refused to agree easily. Yang Shiqi was worried about this, but he didn't expect to meet a new couple who were going to get married today.

At this time, Zhao Zhi, who was following Yang Shiqi, quickly stepped forward and explained: "Qi Changshi, there is indeed a new couple who are going to get married in the past two days, and the house has been allocated."

After Zhao Zhi and these people came to Tianzhu, they were quickly assigned their respective official positions, but they were inexperienced, so they were temporarily assigned to work under some officials. For example, Zhao Zhi was selected by Yang Shiqi to help He handles some immigration stuff.

"It's a good thing, let's go, let's go get a wedding drink!"

Yang Shiqi laughed, and then said to Zhang Zhong.

So the group of people turned around and entered the stockade, only to see a unified wooden house built in the stockade. Although simple, they are relatively strong and can fully meet the needs of living.

And at the innermost side of the village, the yard of a wooden house was decorated with lights and festoons. Most of the men and women in the village came to celebrate the first couple in the village.

Wu Wang grinned and faced the guests in groom's attire, with Qu Hong in a red hijab next to him. The two finally came together after Mo Qing's matchmaking.

As the master of the wedding, Mo Qing shouted to preside over the wedding ceremony. After the couple paid their respects three times, he was about to shout "The ceremony is over", but suddenly he saw a group of people walking in from outside.

Mo Qing saw that the two leaders were also taken aback for a moment, and then stepped forward to salute in surprise: "Greetings, Eldest Young Master, Yang Changshi!"

They all knew Zhang Zhong, and as for Yang Shiqi, they had met several times after they came to Delhi.

"Haha, Yang Changshi and I passed by here and heard that someone is getting married here, so we came here to ask for a wedding drink."

Zhang Zhong stepped forward with a smile and said that he was more familiar with these people than Yang Shiqi.

"My lord, you are welcome. You can come to drink the wedding wine of brother Wu and sister Qu's family. It really makes our place flourish!"

Mo Qing was quite good at talking, so he asked Wu Wang and Qu Hong, the newcomers, to toast Yang Shiqi and Zhang Zhong.

Yang Shiqi took the wine handed by the groom, and said with a smile: "The two are the first married couple in the immigrant village. On behalf of His Royal Highness, I wish you a happy marriage for a hundred years and an early son!"

Yang Shiqi drank the wine while talking, and then Zhang Zhong also said a few words of blessing, which made Wu Wang and his wife both excited and shy.

After discussing a few glasses of wedding wine, Yang Shiqi and Zhang Zhong didn't stay long. After all, their identities were too different. When they were here, not only the newcomers were embarrassed, but other guests also felt restrained, so they also left quickly.

After leaving the village, Yang Shiqi said with a smile: "Someone finally got married, regardless of men and women, as long as they get married and have children, they will settle down, and it will not be easy to cause trouble in the future."

"Marriage is a good thing, but it is too difficult to get women to immigrate. I estimate that many of these immigrants will have to marry local women in the future."

Zhang Zhong shook his head helplessly at this moment.

As the person in charge of immigration, he also wanted to move more women here, so that the immigrants would spread faster, but unfortunately, except for female prisoners, it was almost impossible to find female immigrants, unless it was Forced immigration.

"That's a problem, but there are a group of immigrants who can move here with their families, and then the problem of the shortage of women can be alleviated."

Yang Shiqi thought for a while and suddenly said.

"Where did the immigrants come from?"

Zhang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement.

"Jiugang, there are tens of thousands of Han people there. We have rescued them before, and I think the conditions in Jiugang are not as good as Tianzhu. If we send people to contact them and promise great profits, it should make the Han people in Jiugang Move over a part."

Yang Shiqi explained.

At the beginning, the Old Port was invaded by the Majapahits next door and almost perished. Fortunately, Zhu Gaoxu went to the rescue in person, so the people in the Old Port are also very grateful to Zhu Gaoxu. Now that Zhu Gaoxu has conquered Tianzhu, the conditions are much stronger than the Old Port. There must be many people who would like to.

Of course, the location of the old port is very important, and we must not give it up. However, the old port is relatively close to Daming. Many businessmen like to go to Nanyang to do business. The old port is their first stop. More merchants go to the old port, so don't worry about the population of the old port at all.

"This is a good idea. I passed by the old port when I came this time. When the Shi family father and daughter mentioned the prince, they were also very grateful. The people in the old port have always remembered the kindness of the prince. It’s much better to work under your command than to stay in a small place like Old Port.”

Zhang Zhong nodded his head when he heard the words, expressing his agreement.

There are tens of thousands of Han Chinese in the old port, even if a small part of them migrated, there will be tens of thousands of people, which can indeed greatly alleviate the population problem on the Tianzhu side.

"I haven't talked to the lord about this matter yet, why don't we go to the lord to talk about it now, and then the lord will send someone to the old port, so that next time you pass by the old port, you can take him back by the way."

Yang Shiqi suggested.

"Okay, let's go now!"

Zhang Zhong nodded immediately.

So the two mounted their horses and galloped all the way to a military camp outside Derry.

As soon as he came to the gate of the camp, he heard the screams of killing inside, and he didn't need to look to know that Zhu Gaoxu must be training soldiers again.

Although the Delhi Sultanate has been wiped out, and it is not possible to expand outwards for the time being, Zhu Gaoxu is still preparing for war and is always ready to send troops. After all, there are still several small countries that are not weak in North Tianzhu. If these small countries are not destroyed, Zhu Gaoxu always feels that My heart is not at ease.

This point Zhu Gaoxu is exactly the same as Zhu Di, in their line of sight, there must be absolutely no forces that can threaten them, otherwise they will be restless, and they will find ways to defeat each other no matter what.
