In autumn, there is a little cooler air in the air. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The ministers in the council hall also wore slightly thicker robes.

Under the effect of the technological spar, he explained in detail the decree he was going to implement, and the officials understood.

"The emperor is really far-sighted, which impresses us." , Pang Yukun bowed down and said, with some excitement in his voice.

Because Xiao Ming's words were really to the point, it reminded him of how it was lost outside the Shanhai Pass, and it was precisely because of the sparse population of the Great Yu State outside the pass that the Golden Horde would gradually grow.

Otherwise, if the people of Dayu occupy the majority, how can they be in chaos, this is exactly what Xiao Ming said, but they can't hold it.

"Your Majesty." After Pang Yukun, the ministers shouted loudly.

Xiao Ming showed a smile, this matter was officially passed in the court, and the following is the promulgation of the birth policy.

As long as he has enough population, why worry about not being able to hold on to the territory he has laid.

After saying this, Xiao Ming suddenly noticed that Wang Xuan was also in the political hall today, in the past, Wang Xuan always ran around and rarely went to court.

Noticing Xiao Ming's gaze, Wang Xuan took the initiative to come out at this time, and he said, "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ā€

"Speak."

Xiao Ming frowned, judging from Wang Xuan's expression, it didn't seem to be a good thing.

After thinking for a while, Wang Xuan said: "What the minister wants to say is the matter of the king of Chu, now the king of Chu and the French are too close, according to the news obtained by the lower officials, five days ago a French warship docked at the Lin'an dock, this ship was full of flintlock pistols and artillery, and when the warship returned, it was full of porcelain, tea and silk, and there were also some scholars who were going to France to study. ā€œ

"This King of Chu is really ambitious, Your Majesty, this King of Chu is a big trouble, you can't ignore it, you must not be blinded by him." Zhan Xingchang said angrily.

Fiji echoed: "The king of Chu is insidious and vicious, and he can do anything to send his eldest son to Qingzhou as a proton, which shows that his ambition is not small, but it is a pity that the great trouble in the north has not been eliminated, and he really can't get out of the south." ā€œ

"Fei Ge Lao said very much." Pang Yukun frowned, "It's not okay to just sit back and watch King Chu become stronger a little bit, Your Majesty, we must find a way to contain King Chu." ā€œ

Wang Xuan said no more when the information came out.

Xiao Ming's eyes turned around the angry minister, and the information that Wang Xuan brought back this time showed that the cooperation between the king of Chu and the French was getting closer and closer.

In particular, sending scholars to France was a dangerous move, because it meant that the king of Chu had fully accepted the thinking of the French.

It is estimated that it is precisely because of this that the French will spare no effort to support the king of Chu.

Clearing his throat, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, the king of Chu is in the south, as long as my warships are cruising in the Yangtze River, he will not be able to fight, and the most important thing back then is to remove the threat from the north, so that we can withdraw to the south, if the cart is reversed, it will only let the barbarians take advantage." Xiao Ming said loudly.

After a deep sigh, he continued: "Therefore, at present, we still need to fight with the King of Chu to avoid fighting in the north and south at the same time, and the King of Chu is now bent on running the feudal state, and he will definitely not take the initiative to attack. ā€œ

The ministers fell silent.

At this time, Fiji said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to make the King of Chu suffer, but he is helpless. ā€

"Elder Feige, please speak." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

"The emperor once said that Ryukyu, the kingdom of the three mountains is suitable for farming, and rice is often three crops a year, if so, you might as well migrate the people to these places to settle down, so that you can also provide a lot of grain and grass for the Great Chongqing Kingdom, in the opinion of the minister, this population migration will start from the king of Chu." Fiji said.

Pang Yukun came back to his senses, and he said: "The king of Chu annexed a large number of royal states and counties during the Northern War, and after the emperor unified the north, the king of Chu nominally recognized that these states and counties were royal, but in fact secretly controlled these states and counties, so instead of letting the people be under the rule of the king of Chu, it was better to migrate to the Ryukyus and the Three Mountains Kingdom." ā€œ

Xiao Ming nodded slightly, this time it was really the same as the hero's vision, in fact, he had long been eyeing the population of the south, and had been thinking of how to transfer the population from the dense south to the north.

So he said: "You Aiqing and I really have a tacit understanding, since we talk about this matter, today I will talk about my thoughts, first of all, I agree with Fei Ge Lao's idea, after the occupation of Ryukyu, I have the intention of moving people to Ryukyu, but because the emperor died, this matter had to be suspended, and now is the time to continue to implement the migration policy." ā€

After a pause, he continued: "But in addition to this, I have another strategy, which is the Juntian Order, and in order to achieve Juntian, it is necessary to migrate from the narrow countryside to the wide township, now that the south has a large population, but there is little arable land, and the northerners have few people and more arable land, it is possible to use this reason to migrate the people from the south to the north. ā€

"Wonderful." Fiji laughed when he heard this, and Zhan Xingchang and other officials in Beijing also showed expressions of amazement.

Pang Yukun said: "The emperor's plan is to rectify the king of Chu, and win the hearts of the people in the world, if so, the ministers will draw up an edict and send it to the states and counties to prepare for this relocation of the township." ā€œ

"Well, this matter should not be sooner or later, and the king of Chu cannot be so satisfied." Xiao Ming said.

After deciding on this matter, Xiao Ming has already dealt with today's government affairs, and at this time he is ready to let Qian Dafu announce his retirement from the dynasty.

At this moment, Lu Tong suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has a happy event to say. ā€œ

After all, the matter of King Chu made Xiao Ming a little depressed, but Lu Tong's words made him feel better, and he said, "I hope what you said is really good." ā€

Lu Tong said with a smile when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the minister has led the students to establish an industrial sulfuric acid workshop in Dayu, and the preparation of sulfuric acid by the lead chamber method has been successful. ā€œ

"It really worked!" Xiao Ming was originally lazy, and he was suddenly in good spirits.

"It's true, this time the lower official is about to invite the emperor to observe." Lu Tong looked complacent.

Looking at Lu Tong, Xiao Ming showed a smile, this is indeed good news, there is still a difference between chemistry and the chemical industry, and it only makes sense for the things that can be manufactured in the laboratory to achieve industrial production.

This lead chamber method for the preparation of sulfuric acid is a method for industrial large-scale production of sulfuric acid, which was invented by the Englishman Roebuck in contemporary times.

In 746, he founded the world's first factory for the production of sulfuric acid by the lead chamber method, which was not perfected until the 50s of the 19th century, and influenced it for a century.

Now Lutong has also established a sulfuric acid plant in Dayu, which is undoubtedly a breakthrough in the chemical industry.
