Chapter 78 Immigration to Nanyang
The tax revenue of more than 2000 million in half a year is enough to make anyone envious, and it also makes all the figures unable to sit still. Everyone's eyes are straightened, ready to move.

But obviously, no matter what they think.

At this moment, Zhu Houcong naturally couldn't let these people destroy his financial resources.

He looked at the figures one by one.

Zhu Houcong did not speak.

And his silence suddenly made the court gradually quiet down.

"Why, do I want to hand over all the Shibo Division to you!"

Waiting for everyone to quiet down, Zhu Houcong's cold voice sounded.

And his words immediately caused a famous minister to crawl on the ground.

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

A series of voices sounded, and at this moment, many people's heads were covered with cold sweat.

"Forgive me, I don't think you need it at all."

"If this matter is discussed again, I think Lingnan Chieftain is very suitable for you."

"Retreat!"

Zhu Houcong snorted coldly, then waved his sleeves and stood up.

The figure left directly, leaving the ministers looking at each other in blank dismay.

Some people's eyes twinkled, while others were thoughtful.

But no matter what, it was obvious that their thoughts could not be carried forward for the time being.

With Zhu Houcong's support, the development of the Jiugang Xuanwei Department and the Municipal Shipping Department has undoubtedly developed by leaps and bounds.

In the second year, the Shishi Shipping Company's revenue increased to 2000 million taels.

The income of the Old Port Proclamation and Consolation Department has broken through to 5000 million taels.

Such a huge wealth reversed Daming's current financial difficulties almost instantly.

You must know that as Ming Dynasty moves towards its mid-term, Ming Dynasty will inevitably encounter financial difficulties, but this time overseas income directly made up for this situation.

As a result, some problems that started to appear in the middle of the Ming Dynasty began to be alleviated at this moment.

Even some problems seem to have solutions.

Especially when I arrived in Jiajing for 25 years.

Zhu Houcong even made a decision that shocked the entire government and the public, that is, to immigrate refugees to Nanyang.

Such a decision undoubtedly directly solved the most important problem of the Ming Dynasty, and it was also the most likely to shake the foundation of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the current refugee situation is not as good as it was in the late Ming Dynasty, the refugee situation has actually reached an extremely exaggerated level.

When it prospers, the people suffer; when it dies, the people suffer! ——"Sheep on the hillside. Tong cares about ancient times"

Since the feudal society, the problem of refugees has always been a big problem, almost throughout the entire feudal dynasty period.

In order to avoid the war, these people ran around, and when they had nowhere to go, they would gather in the mountains and forests, and even become the main force to overthrow the imperial court.

However, the period with the largest number of refugees and the widest range of refugees in history was the Ming Dynasty.According to relevant records, during the Xianzong period of the Ming Dynasty, the number of refugees reached as many as 600 million, accounting for almost a quarter of the country's total population.

Judging from this number, it can be seen that there were so many refugees at that time, which was rare in the entire history of feudal dynasties.

In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, a large number of refugees appeared because of famine and war. During the Xuande period and after that, the large number of refugees appeared because of conflicts between various classes. Especially during the Xuande period and after, the invasion of the northern grassland peoples and Japanese pirates , resulting in a large reduction of land in the north.

At the same time, under the already unstable external environment, a large number of powerful people, nobles and others began to annex land.As a result, excess population, sharply decreasing land, and increasingly serious land annexation problems have led to an increasing number of refugees.

In March of the sixth year of Zhengde in the reign of Wu Zong, the rebels even captured more than [-] counties in Shandong in one go.

And this seems to have kicked off the trend of refugee chaos.

Subsequently, since 1450, the Little Ice Age caused temperatures to continue to drop and crop yields to decrease significantly.Countless bankrupt farmers went into exile in order to survive.

The refugee problem is becoming more and more serious.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the initial number of people taken care of during the 25 years of Jiajing exceeded one million, and it is still increasing.

Even though these refugees were gradually appeased along with the prosperity of the country's fiscal revenue, there were still huge hooligans.

How to solve these hooligans has become a problem that everyone must consider.

But hooligans can't be solved with money. They also need to provide land and a place to live.

While chatting with Jiang Chen in the chat group, Zhu Houcong discovered a blind spot.

There is indeed not enough land within the Ming Dynasty, but there is outside the Ming Dynasty.

Especially with the development of Nanyang, Zhu Houcong is very clear about the whole Nanyang at this moment. Nanyang has a lot of fertile land.

And if you want to strengthen the control of Nanyang, you first need to have enough Han people in Nanyang.

This has been proven countless times in history. Without enough Han Chinese, even if a place can be ruled, it will inevitably be chaotic after a long time.

At this moment, the refugees can be resettled to Nanyang.

As long as a few generations pass, Ming Dynasty will be able to completely control Nanyang in its own hands.

That's right, it's completely in your hands.

At this moment, Nanyang is not a barbaric land for Zhu Houcong, but a real golden land. He can bring in such a huge income in a year, and it is obviously impossible to give up again.

How to strengthen the rule is what Zhu Houcong needs to consider.

But facing Zhu Houcong's decision.

No one in the court raised any objections.

Just kidding, if such a large number of refugees are not dealt with, for all officials, it is no less than the Sword of Damocles above their heads.

Once it falls, they will have to walk around without food.

Having somewhere to make arrangements at this moment is undoubtedly the best result.

Naturally, he had no intention of refusing.

In this case, this policy passed surprisingly smoothly.

Immediately, the whole of Daming started to act.

More than a million refugees are found mainly in the north.

Even now in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the north is extremely chaotic.

The arrival of the Little Ice Age has raised this chaos to another level.

But after all, it has not reached the chaotic level of the late Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty still has sufficient dominance over the north.

Under Zhu Houcong's order, these gangsters were quickly mobilized.

Then they began to be transported in large quantities towards Nanyang.

Before, Ming's desire to transport these millions of refugees was nothing short of wishful thinking. After all, these were millions of refugees, not thousands, not tens of thousands, but millions.

Each emigration costs one tael of silver, that is millions of taels, and one catty of food per person is millions of catties. The state money and food in Jiajing 23 years ago simply cannot support it.

But for Daming at this moment, this is no longer a problem.

The large amount of funds and food obtained from overseas are enough to support this shipment.
