Chapter 543

Speaking of the northern and Southern Ming Dynasty, we are of the same origin, but we are actually two countries. What should Nanming do? How can he still look at your face?

All the ministers knew this thing clearly in their hearts, so no one would make a silly voice to accuse anything. It was up to the emperor to vent his dissatisfaction there. Not to mention, they can't understand whether this dissatisfaction is jealousy. Perhaps emperor Daizong also wants to trade the people to get some money to spend. After all, who would think there is more silver in the Treasury?

Although Beiming will open a business tax tomorrow morning, only Shenxianju, Tianwaitian and Yang bank will pay a lot of business tax every month. Now they are also engaged in business transactions with warra, among which Beiming is smoking heavy taxes. This also makes the national treasury of the northern Ming Dynasty much more abundant than that of the Southern Ming Dynasty. However, in recent years, the development of artillery and fire guns has really cost a lot of money. The important thing is that the progress is still very slow. According to the current speed, if you want to achieve results, you don't know how much money you need to continue to invest. If you can have a new way to open up the source, Zhu Qiyu must be very happy.

Zhu Qiyu said that it was possible that he could not eat grapes and said that grape acid was a possibility; Once the Southern Ming Dynasty became strong with silver, it would threaten the northern Ming Dynasty. As for which kind it is, who can say it clearly?

The people didn't speak, which made Zhu Qiyu want to take advantage of this to discredit Zhu Qi Town, and it's not good to continue to do it. Already a little upset, he had to wave his hand and announce the departure of the dynasty.

All the ministers knelt down and said long live the emperor, and then left. Only Jin Ying, the eunuch leader, stood there motionless. He was originally serving the emperor. Zhu Qiyu didn't leave. Naturally, he didn't dare and couldn't leave.

"Jin Aiqing, do you think Yingzong's practice is inappropriate?" without outsiders, Zhu Qiyu was not as angry as he was just now. On the contrary, he still had the meaning of peace, and even the name of Zhu Qizhen changed again.

Jin Ying, who stood respectfully on one side, also wondered what Zhu Qiyu meant. After all, things happened too fast. As soon as the news came out, he was angry, so he didn't have time to understand too much. Now when asked, he can only say in a tentative tone, "emperor, why don't you find some people to punish the one in the south?"

"This... No need." Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a while, but finally refused this way. "There must be some things that we don't need to do, and some people will do. After all, there is no shortage of scholars who call themselves saints in the world, so we don't have to get involved. I'm just curious. What do mercenaries want so many people to do?"

"Well... I've heard some rumors that mercenaries are engaged in various commercial transactions at sea, including population transactions. It's said that some overseas places are vast and sparsely populated, so some people want to move some people to grow food. Of course, this is what I heard. There is no evidence." as a person around the emperor, The most important job is to relieve the emperor's worries, so we should know all kinds of news. It seems that what he just said is a news reported by the little eunuch up and down.

Of course, Jin Ying won't know. This news was originally deliberately spread by Yang Chendong's Security Bureau. He is confusing the public. Anyway, it's just a rumor. It doesn't take much effort. As for whether others believe it or not, he can't control so much.

"Overseas, it's possible to say so." Zhu Qiyu nodded gently after hearing the speech. Because you don't know, you have no say. Daming has banned the sea for many years. I just listen to the old people talking about things outside the sea. Specifically, the impression on them is really vague.

Therefore, unable to understand the situation outside the sea, Zhu Qiyu did not express any opinions on such a thing, but suddenly asked, "Jin Aiqing, how many families and idle people are there in Beiming?"

Jin Ying, who was still thinking about why he didn't take advantage of this opportunity to attack Zhu Qizhen, the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty, suddenly heard Zhu Qiyu's question. Suddenly, his mind flashed like a huge thunder. Suddenly he understood the master's meaning, and it seemed that he was willing to follow suit.

It should be said that since Zhu Qiyu took office, he has vigorously encouraged people to have children and increase the population, and the effect is still good. With the emergence of potatoes, a high-yield family crop, and the original territory and population of northern Ming Dynasty are not as large as those of Southern Ming Dynasty, it is normal to do so.

It can be imagined that if this development continues, more than ten years later, I'm afraid the population of Beiming will increase greatly. If we can trade these people for silver and develop Beiming, it will be an upward road. As for why Zhu Qiyu doesn't do it now, he obviously wants to see what the wind is saying and how big the reaction of those literati and the resistance will be. That's why Zhu Qiyu didn't arrange someone to denounce Zhu Qizhen.

Jin Ying, who wanted to understand everything, just hesitated and replied: "Emperor, Nanming has just experienced civil strife and war, so there are many refugees, but we have always been peaceful here, but there are not so many idle people. Of course, there are still a lot of such people in prison. They are all those who committed crimes in the previous capital riots. If we make a concerted effort, there are still 50000 people in the whole country. The most important thing is that they are mostly adult men Son. "

The last sentence is to tell or remind Zhu Qiyu that although they have a small idle population, they are the most valuable people. One can be exchanged for fifty liang of silver. Fifty thousand people is two and a half million Liang.

"Well, we still have to pay attention to public security. There is no civil strife in Beiming, but we have to prevent it." Zhu Qiyu is obviously not very satisfied with the figure of 50000. After all, it is less than 10 million, which can play a small role.

Hearing that we should pay close attention to public security, that means we should treat more people's crimes. In this way, there will be more sinners in the future, and the transaction can be a huge amount of money. Knowing the emperor's meaning, Jin Ying nodded and said, "yes, I'll discuss this matter with Xu Shangshu of the Ministry of punishment."

"OK." without too much expression, he just nodded his head slightly. After all, as the emperor, you can't look too ugly.

It can be said that what Zhu Qizhen did was a small stimulus to Zhu Qiyu. After he was worried about getting a lot of gold and silver, Nanming would suddenly develop. Therefore, he also needs to develop financial resources, otherwise, the strength of both sides may develop in an unequal direction.

But no one thought, because the population and trade in Zhuqi town made the public security in Beiming much better. Some Beiming men who usually sneak around and commit adultery are often caught in prison because they have committed a little trivial matter. Unless the family is willing to pay money to redeem it, the others have no intention of letting it out. With the arrest of these people, more and more people are alert. The public security in the city and the streets gives people a new feeling.

......

Minwang mansion. Zhu Huixuan, king of min, also received the news about the population and trade in Nanming. Compared with the northern Ming Emperor Zhu Qiyu wanted to wait and see, his statement was much more direct.

"Send someone to check whether there are vagrants who don't have enough to eat and those idle people in our governing area. Don't be polite. In addition, send someone to Jiaozhi to contact Zhongdan Gong and see if they are interested in trading with us."

Although he knew that doing so would lead to reprimand and dissatisfaction from some so-called scholars and even old professors, Zhu Huixuan, who wanted to make great development, wouldn't care so much. Originally, he had a hostile relationship with Nanming. Now the enemy has taken this step. Seeing that the Treasury is full, it is going to be strong. Why can't he also take advantage of this matter?

However, the first Department of minwang is expanding and stabilizing. It also needs a large number of people to farm or work. There are really no redundant people. Well, it's nothing. Those who are willing to work will use it first, but those who cause idleness must be caught. When enough people are gathered, they can trade with mercenaries for gold and silver.

Therefore, after the northern Ming Dynasty, the local public security in most of Yunnan, Guangxi and Guangdong under the influence of the king of Min has been improved, which Yang Chendong didn't expect before.

At this time, Yang Chendong also received the news from the front. When he learned that Nanming was going to take out more than 4 million people to trade with him, he was stunned first, and then laughed happily.

Originally, I thought that even if a major event such as trading population could be accomplished, there would not be much success in the early stage because of the existence of those old masters. Even if Zhuqi town is short of silver, it can't go too far in the Confucian centered environment.

But I never thought that Zhu Qizhen, a man who did things, was also very bold. He suddenly traded a population of more than 4 million, which was completely unexpected and unexpected.

"Immediately send a boat to chixian city to inform Yu Qian and let him transport more silver. In addition, we should build more houses for civil society, prepare more clothes and food, and inform the navy to prepare more transport ships. The more, the better." Yang Chendong got up and kept giving orders to Hu mang standing aside.

"By the way, call Yang San. So many people came at once. Nanming couldn't have arranged spies. Let him arrange people to keep an eye on the suspicious people. Don't expose the situation of the red inlaid city in advance." Yang Chendong thought about it and added.
