Chapter 783

Along the stone path, Xiao Ming and Fiji arrive at the harem.

This is where he and his concubines live. On the right side of the harem is the house of internal affairs, where eunuchs deal with palace affairs.

Fiji followed behind Xiao Ming, with a trace of worry in his eyes. "But the old minister worried that in this way, the people would not do farming. After all, farming is the foundation of the country. "

Xiao Ming laughs and says to Fiji," the old figuer is worried that there will be more grain in Dayu. These people who go to Qingzhou don't like farming. Otherwise, how can they leave their land and go to Qingzhou? As for the people who are rooted in the land, they will not leave. "

After thinking for a while, he continued, "and now Dayu has three overseas territories, namely Ryukyu, Sanshan Kingdom and two cities in Korea. Now these three places can provide a lot of food for Dayu every year. The only problem is how to make them produce more food with a small amount of manpower. "

" what the emperor said is that the three mountain kingdoms just transported 500000 stone grains and Ryukyu 200000 stone grains, which has alleviated the current food shortage. According to Li Kaiyuan, he is also going to trade industrial products for grain in Koryo. If so, the grain will continue to flow. "Fijian said, suddenly happy.

They arrived at the royal garden along Shizi road and stopped in front of a pavilion. Xiao Ming said, "my purpose is to exchange the industrial products of Dayu for food and other raw materials. Otherwise, what's the significance of Dayu's industrial development? However, I also understand that Dayu has a large population and needs a lot of food. The food is not enough, so I'm going to promote it The plantations in Qingzhou. "

Naturally, Fiji knows what this kind of plantation is. He said, "plantations need a lot of slaves. Where do these slaves come from? "

" nature comes from war. "

Xiao Ming looks serious. One of the contradictions in the development of industry and commerce is how to transform Dayu from an agricultural society to an industrial society.

In England, farmers lost their land through the enclosure movement, so they had to go to cities to become workers.

But this method can be used in Britain, but it can not be used in Dayu, because the plot of Dayu people's land is too heavy, and chaos will inevitably lead to chaos.

Moreover, unlike Britain, which is densely populated and has few land, it is very easy for the merchants to successfully enclose the land. On the contrary, because the merchants have too many choices of wasteland, they will not circle the land of the common people, but only choose cheap wasteland.

Therefore, in his view, the state of Dayu needs a set of routes suitable for its own development, rather than following the example of Britain.

Because of this, there was a policy of free circulation of people. He was prepared to use the salaries in the workshops to attract people from the land to the workshops.

In order to make up for the loss of farming caused by the people entering the workshops, he would encourage the people to rent, or even buy other people's abandoned land for planting, so that a large number of idle land can form a small Slave Plantation.

"No wonder the emperor wants to attack the Golden Horde. If you want to say slaves, there is no slave country that can compare with the Golden Horde." Fiji said.

During the years of war, the Golden Horde got a large number of slaves from the conquering countries. These slaves multiplied in the Golden Horde and provided a steady stream of slaves for the Golden Horde.

Some officials even jokingly called the tiankhan of the Golden Horde the biggest slave owner.

"Jinzhang Khanate is only one of them. Korea and Japan can provide slaves for Dayu in the future, but only if I can make them submit to Dayu." Xiao Ming said lightly.

Fiji looks at Xiao Ming. In his eyes, he sees ambition. In the history of Dayu, no emperor ever thought of conquering Japan in the past.

Even emperor Gaozu Xiao Yuanzhi once defined Japan as a country not to be expropriated. This is not that Xiao Yuanzhi was afraid of Japan, but that he really despised the barren land of Japan and felt that there was no interest in fighting such a country.

After chatting with Fijian about the future government affairs of Chongqing, he got up and continued to stroll in the palace for a while.

Behind the imperial garden is the residence of the concubines, which is different from the grand atmosphere in front. The exquisite and quiet scenery here, ponds, rockeries, plants and so on, constitute a beautiful garden.

After a general visit to his palace, he went out with Fiji.

There are still many things to be done today. This visit to the palace is only a temporary pleasure. The fundamental thing is what he said with Fiji.

In addition, he also negotiated with Fiji on the way to encourage fertility decrees.

In fact, after a long period of civil strife, the population of Dayu is less than 100 million. After all, this figure is the official data of Dayu's heyday.

After the loss of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the rebellion of the vassal kings, the drought in Jizhou, and the massacre in Bashu, he believed that it would be nice for the population of Dayu to be around 80 million, and these people were mainly concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River.

In this era of lack of machinery, population is labor force. Only when there is a large population can we do great things, and the most important thing is that he needs population to immigrate to the colony.Only in this way can he really control the colony. Otherwise, the colony without immigrants and only with the army will become independent sooner or later because of the national rejuvenation movement. After all, that's how history came to pass.

When it comes to these long-term strategies, Fiji always laughs bitterly. Now he is more and more elusive about Xiao Ming's strange ideas.

There was no delay in visiting the imperial palace. Before the scheduled time, Xiao Ming and Fiji went to the hall of discussion of state affairs.

Sitting on the Dragon chair, Xiao Ming directly tells his ministers what he talked about with Fiji.

"No tax for extra children? "Pang Yukun was also surprised.

At this time, Fiji was convinced by Xiao Ming that "the emperor has a long-term vision. It's a long-term plan for the people to have more children. Many people have great power."

Pang Yukun looked suspiciously at Fiji. In the past, it must have been Fiji's first opposition, but now he supports it.

Thinking of this, he is not in a hurry to oppose, but waiting for Xiao Ming's statement.

"Pang Shoufu is relieved that this tax exemption is not a complete exemption, but a partial exemption, in order to encourage childbearing." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Then he explained his ideas to the ministers in detail, and the ministers gradually understood.

To put it simply, there are fewer people and more land in the world now. It's really very sorry for his later experience not to occupy more land at this time.

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. He does not want history to repeat itself.
