Chapter 1093 What is the war?
"Wang Tong, do you mean the millions of people?"
"Your Majesty, that's exactly what the minister intended. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Emperor Wanli asked, Wang Tong replied, Emperor Wanli groaned and said:
"There are large tracts of land waiting to be cultivated in Hetao and outside the Guanwai, and there are also various tasks such as grazing and logging that need to be done by hand, do you mean to let the North Koreans go over there?"
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate!"
Speaking of this, Wang Xijue hurriedly spoke, and after interrupting everyone, Wang Xijue said with some excitement:
"The area of Guihua City and Hetao, as well as the northeast area of Liaozhen, are far away from the center, all ethnic groups are mixed, and the control of the imperial court cannot be said to be powerful, if such a huge number of Koreans are allowed to pass, one generation or two can still control it, if the Ming Dynasty is a little unstable, I am afraid that this cadre will stand on his own, and when the time comes, it will not be cheap, but to open up territory for these Koreans."
This reason is also clear, after all, there are too many North Koreans, and when they go to these places, they will become the majority, and they are border places, so I am afraid that there will be no way to control them at that time.
Everyone didn't rush to conclusions, but they all turned their eyes to Wang Tong to see how Wang Tong answered.
"The elder of the pavilion thinks everything, but what Wang thinks is to move the Koreans to the inland provinces, replace the Han people, let the Koreans be tenants, mercenaries, and slaves, and let the Han people go everywhere to reclaim land and buy industries, become people with families and businesses, pay taxes for the imperial court, and run a new world for my Ming Dynasty."
Everyone fell silent again, if you say so, there will be many benefits, these people in the imperial study are the central leaders of the world, and they understand the situation in the world very well.
Now there is a shortage of labor in the northern provinces, and many peasants are going to reclaim land outside the border walls, where the climate may be colder than in other parts of the interior, but it is better to pay less taxes and have their own industries, than to be exploited in their original hometowns.
And after such a long time, everyone knows that although it is bitter cold outside, life is stronger after going there than here, and the people in charge will more or less talk about the rules, and will not be bullied at will.
Of course, the colonies that have been reclaimed and colonized are not well-intentioned, and they are also doing this to attract more people, after all, the most scarce thing outside now is manpower.
Although the peasants are difficult to leave their homeland, but life is really difficult, and leaving their homeland is not a choice that cannot be made, and now the most lawsuits in the court are the population flow, the officials of the inland provinces attack the officials of the border provinces, saying that they condone the outflow of the people, and the border provinces say that the inland exploitation is too much, so the people are forced to leave.
Each has its own local position, which has been the case since ancient times, but the imperial court is actually happy to see these things come to fruition, because most of these fleeing people are poor people and tenants who have no property, and this cadre works hard for the powerful landlords, but the harvest is not much profit at all, or even not at all, because those powerful landlords have all kinds of means to conceal their acres of land, and they have all kinds of tax exemption privileges.
And these people go to the outside of the Saiwai, go to the outside of the Guan, they will have their own land and industry there, although the two years are tax reduction, but in the long run, the imperial court can collect taxes from these people, increase financial revenue, from the whole world of the overall plan, is the imperial court will collect more and more taxes.
Wang Tong, who moved the Korean people inland, liberated more Han labor, let them settle down in the frontier, increased taxes for the imperial court, and increased controllable people, in the same way, these Korean people will definitely be integrated and digested after a few generations of the Ming Dynasty, or even two generations later.
Because the difference between the appearance of the people of the two countries is not large, and there are various similarities in living habits and cultures, they will naturally be assimilated smoothly.
Although the land in North Korea is barren, after all, it is also the territory of a small province, and there are so many millions of people, it is not a bad thing, expanding the territory and increasing the population, for an emperor, this is the greatest achievement, the expression on the face of Emperor Wanli changed from doubt to satisfaction, and he nodded slowly, but he still has problems.
"Wang Tong, you said that these are naturally good things, but this battle, the resettlement of these millions of people, and the relocation of the population from North Korea, these are all huge costs, you say this, I am afraid that you may not be able to see results in 50 years!"
Asking these details does not mean questioning, in fact, Emperor Wanli began to seriously consider this possibility, whether he can do it or not, and how to do it.
Wang Xijue and Tian Yi glanced at each other, and then at Zou Yi, the expressions in the eyes of the three of them meant the same thing, Wang Tong should have already had a belly case, otherwise how could he be so successful.
"Your Majesty, the annexation of North Korea and the migration of the population, this will not make up for the deficit of the army in the short term, and even the treasury will have to pay inward, but what the minister said is not only North Korea."
Everyone in the room subconsciously shook again, and the number of tremors was too much, and it was also because what Wang Tong said was too unbelievable, and some things that everyone didn't dare to think about in the past, or even couldn't think of at all, Wang Tong said it unscrupulously and put it forward, is it ......
"Wang Tong, where are you talking about?"
"Your Majesty, the Japanese invaded Korea, and they were eyeing the Ming Dynasty, not to mention the disaster in the southeast back then, how can there be no reason not to punish such evil deeds, drive the Japanese out of Korea, and also conquer the Japanese country."
"Duke of Liao, you also read and know history, don't you know that Meng Yuan crossed the sea to attack the Japanese, was attacked by the heavenly wind, and the whole army was annihilated, this Japanese country is unknown, and it is also a place that cannot be conquered!"
Speaking of which, Wang Xijue is really a little loud, the Yuan army attacked the Wa State, 100,000 troops were attacked by a typhoon because the ships, the whole army was annihilated, this matter is known to everyone in the world, and there is a disaster of the Wako in the Jiajing period, there is a consensus from top to bottom in the Ming Dynasty, the Wa State is unknown, and the attack will be a disaster.
Wang Tong sat up straighter and said with a smile:
"Ge Lao, Meng Yuan is just a Tatar, I don't know the changes on the sea, so I was hit by a strong wind, what does this have to do with the sky, so many Japanese robbers troubled the southeast of the Ming Dynasty, and they also came from the Japanese country across the ocean, how did they not be blown by the strong wind, now, Songjiang and Tianjin Weikai sea, maritime trade is prosperous, there are many maritime merchants, there are many capable people who operate boats across the sea, why can't they attack the Japanese country."
"Liao Guogong, there are nearly 10 million people in the Japanese Kou, which is equivalent to the territory of my Ming provinces, if you annex their territory, take their population, and cross the sea, it will cost more than this North Korea to annex and digest, wouldn't this be contrary to the original intention."
This time it was Zou Yi who opened his mouth, and the annexation of Korea was because of the land border, there were all kinds of convenient places, and the small Korean court was invaded by the Japanese invaders, and it also repeatedly requested the annex of the province, which is still an acceptable type, but crossing the sea to attack the Japanese state, then there are all kinds of inconveniences.
If the attack on the Wa Kingdom fails, Wang Tong will have to bear a huge responsibility, and even be ruined, only on this occasion, will the words be transparent, dispel his thoughts, this is safe, Wanli Emperor also said when summoning the right, this occasion speaker is not guilty, is everyone to discuss.
Hearing Zou Yi's question, Wang Tong nodded with a smile and said:
"Gonggong Zou is also a prudent consideration, but after defeating the Japanese state, he can immediately make money, not only the military expenses can be compensated, but even the treasury will be full."
As a result of these words, everyone leaned forward and stared at Wang Tong intently, thinking about how to make money and make a lot of money, these are all huge livelihoods that you are talking about.
"Your Majesty, the Wa Kingdom is rich in gold, silver, and copper, and according to the news of the maritime merchants, although the Wa Kingdom only has a few provinces of my Ming Dynasty, the output of gold, silver and copper is several times more than that of my Daming."
Several people in the room have been in high positions for a long time, but when they heard this, they still couldn't help but exclaim, with such an output, what kind of wealth will the country become.
"Overseas richness, this has always been a legend, how can it be taken seriously, the Duke of Liao must be cautious!"
Zou Yi said in a deep voice, Wang Tong nodded with a smile, but opened his mouth again:
"Your Majesty, Wang Ge Lao, the two fathers-in-law, there is a clear text in the classics of how many copper coins were minted during the Yongle period, but now the copper coins circulating in Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion are almost about to catch up with one-third of this number, if you count the places around Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion, one-half or even more, this is how much territory has so many copper coins circulating, and the condition is quite new, what about the rest of the world, don't they use copper coins? Is this copper coin still being newly minted, and the Wa Kingdom, North Korea and Nanyang have also been using Yongle Tongbao, so much copper that comes, this Jinyiwei and Dongchang have a newspaper to explain that they are all pirates in the Wa State private minting, how much copper is there. ”
This matter is not a private matter, and everyone here has heard of it to some extent, but when Wang Tong said this, he suddenly expanded his thinking.
Wang Tong continued to talk eloquently, and he continued to speak:
"One tael of gold for four taels of silver in the Wa Kingdom, and the gold and silver are all in good condition, and the maritime merchants who come and go between the Ming Dynasty and the Wa Kingdom, some people are engaged in exchanging gold and silver, and they are also rich in the country."
One tael of gold was exchanged for ten taels of silver on the face of the Ming officials, and because of the large inflow of silver in the area of Tianjin Wei and Songjiang Mansion, the ratio of gold and silver exchange was one to eight or one to seventy-five, but compared to this of the Wa Kingdom, a little calculation knew where the huge profits were.
Now in this great era, it is the time of the so-called world to speak and benefit, the country is so rich, it is really a big piece of fat, the naturalized city, the white mountains and black water outside the side wall, this piece of land makes the appetite of the Ming monarchs and ministers bigger and bigger, and the pursuit of wealth is becoming more and more urgent.
