The place where the cabinet office is located in the capital.
Liu Jin and Ji Zhong are both busy. As for Li Dongyang, he fell ill as expected and can no longer work. He has not even come to the morning court for some time.
This is a sad thing.
In fact, Li Dongyang is still very young, only in his sixties. When many ministers in the DPRK are in their seventies, he can be regarded as a young man.
If his physical condition is acceptable, he can actually continue to shine, and he can easily take the position of chief minister of the cabinet.
?????????????? Then as the saying goes, the body is the capital of revolution. Only with a good body can you have everything. Once the body is broken, you will have nothing.
Li Dongyang¡¯s health is getting worse and worse, but actually he is still a very miserable person.
He was talented, knowledgeable, and an able minister in governing the country. His talents were much better than those of Liu Jian. However, perhaps God was jealous of his talents and smooth career, so he encountered hardships in other aspects.
She gave birth to several sons, but all of them died in infancy, leaving not even a grandson, so that after his death, he was considered extinct. In this era where the inheritance of incense was valued, he had to adopt Li Zhaofan from his brother as the successor. step son.
But a stepson is a stepson, after all, he is not his biological son.
This may be a huge and heavy blow to Li Dongyang.
It made him look even more miserable in his later years, and he was no longer interested in national affairs.
Emperor Hongzhi and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty can see this, especially now that the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, the country is rich and the people are strong, and there are also ministers such as Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Zhi Zhong, Han Wen, and Yang Yiqing in the court. The presence.
This makes Li Dongyang completely relieved.
"Build Houzhao City?"
Liu Jin looked at the latest telegram sent back from Europe. Zhu Houzhao won the battle and was not in a hurry to come back. Even though winter had begun and it was bitingly cold over there, Zhu Houzhao was in no hurry to come back.
"It's not easy to go out now. If he doesn't have enough fun, he won't come back."
"It is indeed necessary to build a city on the coast of the Baltic Sea, and this location is also very good."
After Liu Jin carefully studied the map, he also expressed his appreciation for Zhu Houzhao's vision. The location he chose was very good. This place itself was a big city in later generations, with a superior geographical location and great development potential.
This time 75*zw.com Zhang Si. "If we just immigrate a million people to such a huge land, I'm afraid it will be difficult to effectively manage this land."
"Even after such a war, the number of native Slavs in the area is probably at least tens of millions. Such a disparity in numbers will definitely be a factor of instability in the future."
"Maybe we can consider moving some Caucasians and Georgians from Nanyun Province. They now have a very high sense of identification with our Ming Empire. If they help us guard Black Earth Province, maybe the situation will be much better."
Liu Yuan thought carefully.
??The Black Earth Province is too far away from the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. If a railway had not been built directly to Xijigang Port on the east side of the Black Sea in Nanyun Province, millions of immigrants would have to immigrate to the Black Earth Province, which would be a bit of a fantasy.
It is actually very difficult to immigrate millions of people. The people of Ming Dynasty lived a very good life, and no one was willing to immigrate to a place as far away as Black Earth Province.
The imperial court also had to increase the immigration rewards, reward large areas of land, reward a large number of cattle, sheep, horses, and a large amount of settlement fees.
In this way, many poor people from all over the country are willing to go to Black Earth Province.
But this is still far from enough, because the area of ??the Black Earth Province is too large, a large number of areas are barren, and there are still many local Slavs. In order to maintain the stable rule of the Ming Dynasty, more people must be moved there. Go to these places.
Liu Jin also took a fancy to the local tribes in Nanyun Province.
Since Nanyun Province was incorporated into the rule of the Ming Empire, it has always been very stable. The local Caucasians and Georgians gradually gave up their original tribal ideologies and regarded themselves as Ming people, and were proud of them.
??The concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty was born here in Nanyun Province. Although she was not a Crown Princess, she was still canonized and gave birth to a prince to His Highness the Crown Prince.
In addition, Nanyun Province also produced a genius named Li Bai. He ranked first in the scientific examination and wrote a good poem with literary talent.Yun Yun is now a senior official in the imperial court.
24378 The Ming army in the province had wives and concubines, and the ethnic integration was very good.
Of course, the most important thing is that after people merged into the Ming Empire, the people here no longer have to live in fear, nor do they have to bear high taxes. They live a stable and prosperous life. This is the fundamental reason why they recognize the Ming Empire.
These have also caused the population of Nanyun Province to surge. In just a dozen years, the population of Nanyun Province has almost doubled.
That¡¯s why Liu Jin thought about migrating some people from Nanyun Province to Black Earth Province, and also gave generous immigration rewards to encourage them to go to Black Earth Province.
With these locals in Nanyun Province who have a high degree of identification with the Ming Dynasty, and then find ways to relocate some grassland herdsmen from places such as the grasslands and the Western Regions, combined with the Ming Dynasty¡¯s original Sinicization policy and the Ming Dynasty system, I believe that the Black Earth Province will undergo dozens of After hundreds of years of governance, it should be firmly under the control of the Ming Empire.
¡°There is a shortage of people everywhere, and there is a labor shortage in Beijing and Tianjin.¡±
Control the big one and control the owl. "There is also a shortage of people in Nanjing and Songhu in the south of the Yangtze River. Especially in Nanjing, there are too many people."
Liu Jin couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought about people's affairs.
Now the Ming Dynasty is seriously short of people. Although the population of the Ming Dynasty has exceeded 200 million, it is spread over such a vast land, and a large number of people have migrated to overseas colonies and vassals. This is even further This exacerbated the population shortage in Ming Dynasty.

Now some people are proposing to develop slaves and allow slaves to enter the Ming Dynasty.
This matter has been suppressed by Liu Jin.
"Slave is a double-edged sword. It feels good when you use it, but it will definitely hurt you when it rebounds.
In contrast, Liu Jin wants to use the power of technology to improve productivity and reduce dependence on manpower. This is the way to development.
Just like farming, if people do the farming, no matter how diligent a person is, at the end of a year, you can only cultivate more than ten acres of land.
With such a vast land like the Ming Dynasty, if we rely on primitive farming methods, we still don¡¯t know how many people we need. Even hundreds of millions of slaves may not be enough.
But with the use of agricultural machinery such as cultivators, seeders, harvesters, etc., the efficiency can be greatly improved. One person can easily cultivate thousands of acres, or even tens of thousands of acres of land.
Using slaves will form a kind of dependence on slaves, because slaves are very cheap and intelligent. Once you are used to them, you will not think about researching technology and machinery to improve productivity, and even hinder the progress and development of science and technology and machinery. develop.
Therefore, Liu Jin would not allow slaves to appear in the mainland of the Ming Dynasty. The reason is that countless people cannot refute it. The mainland of the Ming Dynasty is the Chinese state, the cradle of the descendants of Yan and Huang. The reason why slaves are not allowed to appear is to protect this pure land.
This makes many people think that Liu Jin is not against the use of slaves, but purely for the purity of the land of China. This point still has the support of many people.
Because Daming¡¯s current mechanical and power technology has been greatly developed, the emergence of the internal combustion engine has once again made Daming¡¯s productivity develop by leaps and bounds.
Cars, trucks, buses and other new vehicles powered by internal combustion engines have quickly become popular. At the same time, various machinery has been replaced with more powerful and controllable internal combustion engines, making them more efficient. .
These all make people in Ming Dynasty feel that sometimes it is better to use machines than slaves, because slaves still need to rest, while machines often do not need to rest.
The slave may still resist, but the machine will not resist and will always work obediently. 强牺 xindingdianxsw.com 读୲ 6
The Ming Dynasty did not allow slaves to appear in the mainland, but in the Ming Dynasty's overseas lands, especially in the vassal states and colonies, the slavery system was common, and the scale of slaves was getting larger and larger, and a large number of slaves were used for colonial reclamation. A great dependence on the slaves had developed.
There is no way to do this, because overseas is vast and sparsely populated, and the small population expected to immigrate from the Ming Dynasty cannot meet the needs of the colonies, so slaves are naturally a good choice.

"The British public Zhang Mao is about to die~" Zhi Da Zhi Xiao
Just as Liu Jin was thinking, someone hurriedly came to find Liu Jin.
"What?"
"Zhang Mao can't do it?"
When Liu Jin heard this, his eyes widened slightly, and then he said: "Prepare the car and go to the British government!"
