Chapter 786: Many people are powerful

Along the gravel path, Xiao Ming and Fiji reached the harem. E novel Ww%W. 1XIAOSHUO. COM
This is where he and his concubines live, and to the right of the harem is the House of Internal Affairs, where the eunuchs handle affairs in the palace.
Fiji followed Xiao Ming, with a trace of worry in his eyes, "It's just that the veterans worry that if this happens, the people will not farm, after all, this farming is the foundation of the country."
Xiao Ming laughed lightly when he heard the words, and he said to Fiji: "Old Fei Ge is worried that the food in Dayu will not be reduced. The people who go to Qingzhou are people who don't like farming, otherwise, how could they leave their land? How about going to Qingzhou? As for the people who are rooted in the land, they will not leave."
After thinking about it, he continued; "And now Dayu has three territories overseas. These are the two cities of Ryukyu, the Kingdom of Sanshan, and Goryeo. Now these three places can provide for Dayu every year. For a lot of food, the only problem is how to enable them to produce more food with a small amount of manpower."
"The emperor said that the three mountain kingdoms had just shipped 500,000 shi of grain, and Ryukyu brought 200,000 shi of grain. This has alleviated the current food shortage. According to Li Kaiyuan, he is also planning to take industrial products. Going to Korea to exchange food, if this is the case, there will be a steady stream of food.
Fiji was suddenly happy as he spoke.
The two walked along the stone road to the Imperial Garden, and stopped in front of a pavilion. Xiao Ming said: "My purpose is to exchange the industrial products of the country for food and other raw materials. What's the point, but I also understand that the country has a large population and needs a lot of food. The food in exchange is always insufficient, so I plan to promote the plantations in Qingzhou."
Fiji naturally understands what this plantation is. He said: "The plantation needs a lot of slaves. Where did this slave come from?"
"Naturally came from the war."
Xiao Ming looked serious, and one of the contradictions in the industry and commerce exhibition now is how to transform the country from an agricultural society to an industrial society.
In the United Kingdom, through the enclosure movement, farmers lost their land and had to go to cities to become workers.
However, this method can be used in the UK, but it cannot be used in Great Chongqing, because the plot of the land of the people in Great Chongqing is too heavy, and chaos will inevitably cause confusion.
Moreover, Dayu Kingdom is not like Britain with dense population and sparse land. It is easy to succeed in enclosing land. On the contrary, because businessmen have too many wasteland choices, they will not go to the people's land but choose cheap wasteland.
Therefore, in his view, Great Chongqing needs a set of routes that suits its own development, rather than imitating Britain.
Because of this, there is a policy of free circulation of people. He is planning to use the salary in the workshop to attract people from the land to the workshop.
In order to make up for the loss of farming caused by the people entering the workshop, he would encourage the civilians to lease or even purchase other people's waste land for planting, so that a large amount of idle land can form a small slave plantation.
"No wonder the emperor wants to attack the Golden Horde, speaking of slaves, no slaves in any country can compare with the Golden Horde," Fiji said.
The Golden Horde obtained a large number of slaves from the conquered kingdoms during the years of war. These slaves continued to multiply in the Golden Horde, and provided the Golden Horde with a steady stream of slaves.
Some officials even joked that the Tian Khan of the Golden Horde was the biggest slave owner.
"The Golden Horde is just one of them. Goryeo and the Japanese Kingdom will be able to provide slaves to the Great Yu Kingdom in the future, but the premise is that I can make them surrender to the feet of the Great Yu Kingdom." Xiao Ming said lightly.
Fiji looked at Xiao Ming, and in Xiao Ming's eyes he saw aspirations. In the history of the Great Yu Kingdom, no emperor had ever thought of conquering the Wa country in the past.
Even the great ancestor Xiao Yuanzhi once positioned the Japanese nation as a country that was not conquered. This was not because Xiao Yuanzhi was afraid of the Japanese nation, but because he really looked down on the barren land of the Japanese nation, and felt that there was really no benefit in fighting such a country.
Feeling free to chat with Fiji about the government affairs that the country will need to implement in the future, he got up and continued to stroll around the palace for a while.
Behind the imperial garden is the residence of the concubines, which is different from the magnificent atmosphere in the front. It is exquisite and quiet. Ponds, rockeries, vegetation and so on constitute beautiful gardens.
After viewing his own palace, he and Fiji went out of the palace together.
There are still many things to do today. This tour of the palace is just a temporary interest, and the basic thing is what he and Fiji said.
In addition, he negotiated with Fiji on the road to encourage childbirth.
In fact, after a long period of civil strife, the population of Dayu is less than 100 million people. After all, this figure is the official data of the heyday of Dayu.
After experiencing the loss of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the rebellion of the kings, the drought in Jizhou, and the massacre in Bashu, he believes that the population of Dayu can be around 80 million, and these populations are mainly concentrated in the Yangtze River. South.
In this era of lack of machinery, the population is the labor force, a large population can do major things, and the most important thing is that he needs the population to immigrate to the colony.
Only in this way can he truly control the colony. Otherwise, the colony without immigrants but the army will sooner or later become independent because of the national revival movement. After all, this is how history comes.
Fiji has always smiled bitterly when talking about these long-term strategies, and now he is more and more unpredictable about Xiao Ming's strange ideas.
The time to inspect the palace did not delay this morning. Xiao Ming and Fiji arrived in the Palace of Parliament before the scheduled time.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Ming directly told the ministers about what he had discussed with Fiji~EbookFREE.me~ Exemption of tax for many children? "Pang Yukun was also surprised.
Fiji had been persuaded by Xiao Ming in the carriage, and said at this time: "The emperor has a long-term vision. It is a century-old plan for the people to have more children. There is a lot of people and power."
Pang Yukun looked at Fiji suspiciously. If it had been before, it would have been Fiji's first objection, but now he strongly supports it.
Thinking of this, he didn't rush to object, but waited for Xiao Ming's statement.
"Pang Fu feels at ease, this tax exemption is not a full exemption, but a partial exemption, just to encourage childbirth." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
Then he explained his thoughts to the ministers in detail, and the ministers gradually understood after listening.
To put it simply, the world now has less people and more land, and taking advantage of not much land occupation at this time is really sorry for his later experience.
It is precisely because of the expansion of Europe in the era of sea navigation that there are so many white countries in modern times, and he does not want history to repeat itself.
