It's December, and the weather is getting colder. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 The three ministers who came to the Wenhua Hall for the small court meeting were all a little worried.

Although there was not much time to recruit people for the settlement, there were more than 20,000 displaced people from the vicinity of Gyeonggi and even Shanxi and Henan, and although there were many young and strong people who could be used to recruit soldiers, there were still many old and weak women and children, and most of them came by begging without any savings.

For example, today's cold land is freezing, and when you go to Liangxiang, Fangshan, Laishui, Zhuozhou, and other places where you can reclaim the land, they are all wilderness, and those who lived in the early stage are all nests and grass huts, and some of them die of illness and freeze to death after a few days, and some of the displaced people are resettled in the local officials who are arrogant and domineering, oppress the good, and cause conflicts and strife and die.

Of course, in Zhu Daming's view, the biggest problem is how to ensure that these displaced people who come to apply for recruitment will not die of cold and starvation.

If many of the displaced people who came in the first wave could not survive this winter and died of hunger, then how many people would dare to come to the reclamation in the future?

Zhu Daming entered the Wenhua Palace, and several ministers saluted, and then began to deliberate.

Or Shi Fenglai said first: "Your Majesty, Yin Shangshu of Shuntian Mansion said that many displaced people have flocked to Gyeonggi recently, and the resettlement of the Juntun Division is not effective, and some displaced people do not go to the Grange Tunken, but gather in the direction of Jingshi, and now the weather is very cold, if there are too many displaced people in Jingshi, once the relief is not good, it is easy to cause riots." Shuntianfu suggested that the recruitment of displaced people could be suspended, but the reclamation would be carried out again after the beginning of spring or summer next year. ”

Zhu Daming knows much more about this matter than the report of Shuntianfu, and he must grasp the movements of the Jingshi at any time, which is also the responsibility of Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

This time, Zhu Daming allocated 800,000 taels of silver from the inner treasury to recruit displaced people to open up wasteland and fields, which was enough to resettle the displaced people in the early stage and buy seeds and farm tools.

Today's problem is just because of the rush of time. This is not a problem of Yang Yingqian and other military commanders, but Zhu Daming himself is too eager.

Zhu Daming thought that the common people of China had always relocated to their land, and even if the imperial court said that the cultivation of the wasteland was a flower, I am afraid that it would not be able to recruit many displaced people in a short period of time.

But what he didn't expect was that the most people in the world today are peasants who have lost their land, some of these people go around doing short-term jobs and working as coolies, some sell their sons and daughters, and some live by begging for their families.

As soon as they heard that the emperor had recruited displaced people to reclaim the famine, take care of food and housing, and grant land free of charge, and that it was still the best cultivated land in the previous imperial village, these displaced people who could not survive the winter came to beg for food one after another.

Of course, some came voluntarily, while others were driven away.

But no matter how you came here, although you can barely make ends meet when you get here, and you live in a hut and grass hut, after all, you have the land to cultivate for yourself, and no one will pick you up again.

One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, wandering around Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, even including Xuanfu and Datong nine border refugees, also came here.

There are many displaced people, but the preliminary preparations are not for so many displaced people, so they are a little caught off guard.

Even the ground nests and grass huts are not enough to distribute, some of the homeless people who came in tattered clothes did not have any winter clothes, and the weather has been surprisingly cold recently, and some of the old and weak have frozen to death.

Zhu Daming also helped Yang Yingqian and others think of a lot of ways, such as the cloth and other things that were not copied from the inner library, which had been handed over to the Juntun Division.

However, most of the things that were copied were silk and satin, and there was not much cotton, so it was still not enough, and someone had to be sent to Matsue to buy it.

As for the grain, some were prepared according to the number of 5,000 people in the early stage, but now the number of displaced people who have come to apply for recruitment has reached 20,000 or 30,000, and the food is not enough.

After Zhu Daming heard that the homeless people were enthusiastically recruited, he gave the household department a decree to give food, but now Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the household department, was impeached by the speech official, and he was at home with the suspicion of the Wei party, and the household department did not have a court official, and the efficiency of the imperial court was not high, so it was even slower.

And it is really not easy for the household department, at the end of the year, there is not much silver in Taicang, and the warehouses are basically empty, and some warehouses still have some reserves, but they can't be moved, just in case, they are prepared for the Jingshi and Jiubian, because every year before the Spring Festival, they will give the soldiers of Jiubian some money and food rewards.

Now that Wang Yongguang is at home, the left waiter of the household department is not right, and he really can't get enough supplies.

After thinking for a while, Zhu Daming said: "Li Aiqing, the imperial historian Ni Yuanlu impeached Wang Yongguang, the secretary of the household department, and attached to the Wei party, I have been transferred back to the cabinet, and Wang Yongguang is now at home, has his Wei party charges been verified?" ”

Li Guowei bowed down and said: "Back then, Wei rebel was powerful, and the ministers of the court and the central government had a lot of dealings with him. ”

At this time, Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the household officials are very important, and now there are all kinds of wastes waiting to be revived, and all industries are waiting to be raised, how can the household department have no officials for a long time?" Your Majesty, please be clear. ”

Sun Chengzong and Wang Yongguang have dealt with many teenagers, Wang Yongguang may have some ability, but Sun Chengzong looks down on his character and official morality, and wants to directly suggest that the emperor remove Wang Yongguang in the name of being suspected of eunuchs, but he has considered that there are two other people in front of him who have also been repeatedly impeached as eunuchs, so he endured it and still didn't say it.

But Zhu Daming knew that Wang Yongguang was condemned as a eunuch in the third year of Chongzhen and was dismissed, so he didn't want to waste another three years to investigate Wang Yongguang, so he said: "Wang Yongguang is suspected of being a eunuch, and now he is impeached in a book and is being punished at home. I intend that the head of the household department cannot be empty for a long time, so I ordered the left attendant of the household department Bi Ziyan to take over the post of the head of the household department, and move part of the grain and cloth for the military aircraft department as soon as possible, so as to support the needs of the military aircraft department to recruit people and tuntian.

As for Wang Yongguang, he was allowed to return to his hometown. Bi Ziyan's position as the left squire of the household department was promoted by Su Maoxiang, the right attendant of the household department and the governor of the household department, and the governor of Su Mao Xiang's household department Kuraba was succeeded by the squire Nanjuyi. ”

Zhu Daming's arrangement can be said to be a smooth chapter, and it is completely in accordance with the rules of officialdom promotion, and Shi Fenglai and others have nothing to say. Shi Fenglai bowed down and finished receiving the decree, and said: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the matters stated in the book of Shuntianfu, please also ask Your Majesty to make the decree clear." ”

Zhu Daming also has his own considerations about this matter, to use Huangzhuang to recruit people to Tuntian, in the early stage, most of them were in the prefectures and counties under the rule of Shuntianfu, if Shuntianfu Yin did not actively cooperate, then there would be countless troubles in this matter, in this case, just change someone to do it.

Zhu Daming wanted to use Yang He. Yang He is a very bookish person, and he is not suitable for leading the army and managing the army, but he is very suitable for dealing with civil affairs, plus he has a bodhisattva heart, so he has always been very enthusiastic about recruiting displaced people to open up wasteland and reclamation, and it is more appropriate for him to be the Yin of Shuntian Mansion.

Although Shuntianfu Yin sounds like a big official, he is actually the third grade, and the squire of the six departments is the same level, and now Yang He is the left deputy capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and he is from the third grade, and he is promoted to Shuntianfu Yin, and he has nothing to say when he thinks about it.

Therefore, Zhu Daming said: "Recruiting people to reclaim land and organize and train the new army is a major military matter, since the Yin of Shuntian Mansion has objections, then don't do it, the cabinet can order him to return to his hometown, and Yang He, the deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, will be promoted to the Yin of Shuntian Mansion, and fully cooperate with the matter of recruiting people and reclamation." ”

Speaking of this, the three ministers present were all surprised, including Sun Chengzong, who did not expect that the emperor attached more importance to the matter of recruiting people to reclaim land than he imagined.

Before the three of them could recover from the shock, Zhu Daming said again: "As for the resettlement of the displaced people and ensuring that they survive the winter, the Military Aircraft Department must coordinate the household department to go all out, and the inner treasury has already allocated the silver money, and it is time to send people to Jiangnan to buy grain cloth and seeds for next year's spring ploughing, so we will send people as soon as possible." Buy it at the market price, and don't be afraid to spend money, for the money is given to you, and you will be allowed to spend it, as long as it is spent in a proper place, and I will pay it when there is a shortage of money. ”

With the continuation of the raid, the silver deposit in the inner treasury has now exceeded 20 million taels, and even if a nine-sided military salary is repaid after a while, it will still be enough for a period of time. Sun Chengzong's heart was moved, and he hurriedly got up to receive the order.

The news that the emperor had directly dismissed the emperor also spread rapidly, and the state and county officials in Gyeonggi no longer dared to shirk their restraints on this issue, and the tenant farmers and displaced people from all over the country continued to go to hundreds of granges to recruit people.
