Chapter 877: Opportunity to go south

"Children are exempt from taxation!"
"Each child subsidizes the hardware dragon."
"..."
In the festive atmosphere of the New Year, the policy of encouraging childbirth was spread through newspapers in Da Yu.
Now for the scholars in the country, newspapers are the weather vane of the country, and even many scholars will collect newspapers to check the policies issued by the country.
The immature voice of the newsboy made many people laugh softly, and they all took out copper coins to buy newspapers to understand this new decree.
There is no doubt that this decree is a happy event whether it is for officials, businessmen or the people, because for those who want to continue having children, they will get a lot of money.
So Hyeri’s decree is naturally the fastest to pass. After the New Year, the decree is passed from Qingzhou to other prefectures, and the various prefectures have also increased their publicity efforts.
In half a year, people in the entire northern states and counties learned about this birth encouragement policy.
The effect of this policy is that before the beginning of the spring, many young and strong people in Da Yu are thinner, and the atmosphere of striving to have children gradually expands.
However, this decree also gave the ministers a reason to let Xiao Ming continue to have children. He reluctantly jumped into the pit he dug. After Cui Xueer was pregnant, Luluo and Aster were also pregnant, and the number of royal children would increase to four. That's it.
When the North was carrying out childbirth as a war, the conflicts accumulated by Chu State broke out.
On June 13, Li Chuyuan's general Jiang Ying led 80,000 soldiers to attack Suzhou, and the two sides fought at Wu County, the southern gateway of Suzhou.
At the same time, the other two generals, Huacheng and Liu Xu, each led 50,000 horses to attack Jiaxing and Songjiang. For a time, the south was filled with smoke.
"The emperor, at the end, the soldiers who have installed the Falcon rifle will be transferred to Jinling City. The remaining 20,000 people are estimated to be able to complete the installation and training in September."
Zhongniu, the staff of the Qingzhou camp, ran to Xiao Ming to report on the deployment of the army.
After Niu Ben finished speaking, Luo Quan said: "We have sent orders from the navy to keep them on standby. The cannery in Dengzhou is also producing canned food day and night for use in wartime."
"Well, yes, this logistics will definitely not be able to use hundreds of thousands of civilians on a large scale like before. If you have canned food, you must use the advantages of canned food and try to use the army's own logistics army." Xiao Ming commanded.
"Yes, the emperor." Niu Ben and Luo Quan said simultaneously.
Xiao Ming nodded, he had already received news in advance before the start of the Chu State War.
For Li Chuyuan, the soldiers trained for most of the year are enough to be used. With this confidence, he officially declared war on the merchant council.
For Cao Kun, he did not have enough confidence to defeat Li Chuyuan at the beginning, after all, the power of the merchant council was still somewhat weak.
But in the past six months he has been actively expanding his army, the number of troops controlled by the merchant council has overturned, and his back has become hard.
After deploying the army, Xiao Ming returned to the palace, and immediately after he summoned Pang Yukun, the Da Yu cabinet was officially full during the Chinese New Year.
In addition to Pang Yukun and Fiji, Zhan Xingchang, Ge Yiren, Yang Chengye, Chang Yuchun, Kong Yongan, Chao Jun and others were added.
Pang Yukun of the Ninth Middle School is still the first minister, responsible for coordinating the overall situation, so sometimes Xiao Ming just goes to Pang Yukun directly.
According to the plan, he will go south this fall. At this time, Li Chuyuan and Cao Kun, who have been fighting for three or four months, are estimated to be tired and tired. At that time, he can easily push it down, but compared to the situation in the Kanto region, there are few people. The south is a densely populated area with many cities.
Once the fight is up, it will inevitably cause the people to be displaced, and this time is the time for drainage.
This time he came to Pang Yukun for this.
"According to Lin Wentao's statistics, the number of steam engines sold to civilians in Qingzhou Prefecture last year reached 2,000. Even if a merchant’s factory uses four steam engines, Da Yu has now established 500 steam engine-powered factories. This number increased more rapidly in the first half of this year, reaching the number of last year in half a year. It can be seen that since the railway was connected, the enthusiasm of business people to build factories was high.
After a pause, Xiao Ming continued: "The government-run factories of the imperial court have developed faster than the private factories and used more steam engines. However, the result of this is that there is now a shortage of workers in Qingzhou Prefecture."
Pang Yukun nodded. Last year, Da Yuguo introduced a series of specific terms. The workshop officially changed its name to the factory, and the craftsman also changed its name to the worker.
So he understood what Xiao Ming said.
"The lower officials understand what the emperor meant. At present, the industry in Dayu is mainly concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River. This is difficult to change in the short term. Therefore, Jiangbei needs more people to enter the factory as workers, and the chaos in the south is giving If our opportunity is handled properly, the industry of the country will win another explosion."
A smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Ming's mouth, and Pang Yukun looked very poisonous. An obvious fact is that the resources brought by railways, the dividends of the Northern Expedition, and the Korean market have brought capital. The bottleneck of industrial development is now the mobile workers~www.mtlnovel. com~ Now that the chaos in the south has made up for this shortcoming, the industry will naturally explode, and the city along the railway will definitely develop.
"That's right, besides that, the cabinet must draw up a preferential decree for moving out of the Kanto area as soon as possible. I will give you a death order. This time you will move at least three million people to settle in the Kanto area." Xiao Ming said.
"Three million!" Pang Yukun felt a lot of pressure at once. Although this number is not large compared to the total population of Dayu, the project is not small, and he has to use a lot of officials for this.
After gritting his teeth, Pang Yukun said, "Yes, the emperor, the lower officials promise to complete."
"That's great," Xiao Ming said, "By the way, how is the production in Kanto now recovering?"
Pang Yukun said: "After the end of the war last year, the household registration system of the Kanto people has been perfected, and the land has been allocated to the people of the Kanto region. At the same time, because the Kanto region is blank, the lower officials implemented the contract responsibility system of dividing the land to the household according to the emperor’s order. The production was under the management of the team. According to the feedback received from the officials, the people in the Kanto area welcomed this kind of land contract responsibility system. They were also very active in cultivating their own farmland. In addition, the land in the Kanto area was fertile. A bumper harvest was achieved a year ago. The second season wheat will be harvested soon."
"If the effect is good, Qingzhou and other provinces will gradually cancel the collective work of the production team. After all, collective production raises lazy people, but the production team cannot be cancelled. They still have to supervise and assist the people in production."
In the past, Xiao Ming promoted collective production because of the scarcity of production tools, but now it is different. The development of the breeding industry over the years has greatly increased the number of cattle.
Moreover, the development of the steel industry has also allowed sickle, steam threshing machines, drills, and animal harvesters to enter the civilian population. For him, it is time to increase the enthusiasm of the people in production and raise agriculture to a higher level.
