Chapter 944: Population and Talent

In the same way, if you want to set foot in the South Seas, then the capital will naturally follow the south, in the history of the Yongle Emperor sent Zheng He to the West seven times, the city of Beijing has not been repaired, so the political, economic and cultural center of the Ming Dynasty at that time is actually in Nanjing.

Later, with the opening of Beijing, the focus of the Ming Dynasty gradually shifted from developing the South Seas to dealing with the threat of the newly rising ethnic minorities in the north, so the costly political activities such as going to the West naturally stopped, and even the access to the sea was restricted. The reason for this was partly because of the limited vision of the rulers at the time, and secondly, because the northward movement of the ruling center led to the country's economy becoming more and more dependent on agriculture and inland rivers (such as the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal), and the demand for shipping and sea fishing declined.

Without political and economic demand, even if the state does not stop it, it will be difficult for the private sector to continue to move into the sea.

Therefore, Chengdu is destined to be only the capital of Li Xinchen for a short time, and no matter whether Li Xinchen wants to develop to the northwest or southeast in the future, it is impossible to put the center of the empire in Bashu.

So now that everything is being prepared for war, Li Xinchen is of course taking the lead in saving. Living in the palace is to show his identity and status, but thrift is what Li Xinchen wants to advocate. No matter how you say it now, it's a troubled time, and you can't be poor and extravagant just because the Bashu side is still peaceful.

And it turns out that Li Xinchen's leading role should be good, and many officials are reducing useless manpower and collecting useless materials to prepare for sale. What Bashu lacks most now is people, and if these redundant servants can be transformed into people who can be cultivated or workers in the workshop, it will naturally be the best.

You must know that in this era, servants are sold to the master's family, not you can come if you want to, you can leave if you want, many people are born to inherit the identity of their ancestors, become a young slave, the master's deep house compound is a cage that they can not get out of their life, and the master's family will also designate a spouse for them when they reach their age, so that their children can still serve the family after they are old.

So for many people, it is really "as deep as the sea when you enter the Houmen, and Xiao Lang is a passerby from now on". If you can really set yourself free, even your own children, it is undesirable for many slaves.

Of course, after a few years of tossing and turning in Shuzhong, there has long been no such huge wealth as in the Qin and Han dynasties, many families have been depressed and defeated, and now those who are qualified to occupy a good position in Chengdu are actually mainly these magnates in Li Xinchen's group, including the southeast Shi clan, the Bajun family headed by the Xiajiang Tang clan, and the northern family and even the northern generals who also began to actively participate in the affairs of Shu and Han.

These families have just entered Chengdu City, which has suddenly become the core of the power of the entire Shu Han, so the family business has not yet developed, but even so, they can release some useless manpower, which is enough to play a leading role.

Although the number of people obtained in this way is very small compared to arranging for the Ba tribe to go down the mountain, this undoubtedly shows that Shu Han has an attitude since Li Xinchen, that is, in order to make this group and this country strong, they don't care about anything!

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this attitude is a bit of a show, but compared with the current Northern Zhou and Southern Chen, you know how valuable Li Xinchen can show this attitude.

Emperor Yu Wenyun of the Northern Zhou Dynasty spent all day in the palace drinking and drinking, not caring that Yang Jian and Yu Wenxian were already in full swing.

And Nan Chen is naturally not to mention, Chen Ji is in his last years, it is conceivable that he will die in a few years, and his successor Chen Shubao is famous for his love of traveling in the mountains and rivers, can such an emperor really support the stormy Nan Chen in the future? Not to mention that Chen Shubao is surrounded by people like Chen Shuling and Chen Shujian, and there is no shortage of villains like Mr. Jiang and Kong Fan.

Xu Ling and Wu Mingche, who are recognized as Wenzong and famous generals, have already respected Nan Chen, and at this time, aspiring people will not go to Nan Chen as long as they are not stupid.

And the war in the Northern Zhou Dynasty has never had an ending, at the beginning it was Yang Jian who pressed Yu Wenxian to fight, and rushed to the outside of Luoyang City, and now it is Yu Wenxian who is preparing to attack Yang Jian on both sides, but it seems that he has no ability to eat Yang Jian in one bite, no matter who it is, I am afraid there is no way to accept such a future that cannot be seen at all.

Therefore, Li Xinchen's icing on the cake is obviously enough to attract more talents to Bashu, and naturally it will also attract many displaced people and refugees.

Talent and population are the foundation for a dynasty to develop and prosper!

Qin got Shang Yang and Bashu and was strong, and Han had to stay with Guanzhong and become more and more frustrated.

If he can attract more talents with his "show", Li Xinchen doesn't even mind moving to a thatched house to live in - just think about it, it's very exciting for four people to squeeze into a bed. Of course, if Lechang and the others knew that Li Xinchen had this idea, they would definitely kick Li Xinchen down and let him lay on the floor.

"Husband, it's your turn." Xiao Xiang said with a smile, interrupting Li Xinchen's train of thought.

Lechang's dormitory is not very big - mainly because the palace of Shu Han is actually just a "palace" compared to the palace of Chang'an or Luoyang - Lechang kneels elegantly on the futon, while Li Xinchen is naturally not so particular, he sits cross-legged very simply, and the chessboard in front of him is obviously able to distinguish the winner and loser.

Li Xinchen's Go skills are really not very good, in fact, he can take two steps because he took a Go interest class when he was a child, Xiao Shilian and Pei Zilie and others have also instructed him a few times in their spare time, but the level of the two of them is just like that, so dealing with a few new moves made Lechang almost unable to parry, and in the rest of the cases, Lechang was letting Li Xinchen not let him lose so fast.

If you really want to compete in chess, where can Li Xinchen be able to compare with the golden branches and jade leaves that Lechang has cultivated since he was a child.

Especially because it was hot enough in the house, a few people didn't wear much, and Yu Chi Chifan, who had just bathed, directly wrapped a layer of tulle around his intimate clothes, a piece of snow and greasy, and Li Xinchen who saw it was already out of his mind, where was he still in the mood to play chess?

"No, come again." Li Xinchen saw that his big dragon was hopeless, so he decisively reached out and pushed the chessboard, and pinched Xiao Xiang's face with the other hand, "This game doesn't count, this little girl has been making bad ideas behind her back, and Fan'er, you stand there and seduce me!" ”

Xiao Xiang is also well-educated, and she also has a fight with Lechang in chess, but she is beside Li Xinchen to give advice, but she can't stand Li Xinchen's "insistence", and at this time, she was caught by Li Xinchen and aggrieved.
