Li Su in the Qi Wangfu in Keelung City was very happy, the sudden arrival of a cold snap made the agriculture in Taipei greatly affected, which made him think that the economy of Taiwan may be affected this year, but what he didn't expect was that the immigration work was very smooth, and with the arrival of immigrants, a large area of barren land on Taiwan Island was reclaimed, and soon planted with sugarcane and rice, although the yield in the first year will certainly not be high, but it can not stand the increase in land more, Perhaps this year's agricultural output will not decrease, but will even increase.

Just when Li Su was glad that Taiwan's agriculture had not been affected, Jin Shengman, who had just finished sorting out the documents next to him, suddenly said: "Your Highness, the immigration work at this stage has been sorted out, do you want to listen to it now?" ”

"Read!" Li Su said very stylishly. Since Jin Shengman became his little secretary, it did save him a lot of effort, for example, like today, he doesn't have to use his own hands and brains to analyze, just wait to listen to the report.

After hearing this, Jin Shengman cleared his throat and immediately said: "Now the immigration officers in various places have reported the number of fugitives they have counted, because these fifty immigration officers are all sent to the southern region, so this data only represents the number of fugitives in the south, as for the ...... in the north."

Before Jin Shengman finished the report, he was interrupted impatiently by Li Su: "To be simple, you just need to report the total number, and try to be as brief as possible in other aspects!" ”

Jin Shengman was stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted and spoke again: "The total number of fugitives they counted this time is two .36 million, but the people we sent out cannot cover all the areas in the south of the Tang Dynasty. Coupled with the fact that some of the fugitive villages have been missed, the actual number of fugitives must be much larger than that. Preliminary estimates should be between five million and seven million. ”

When it comes to this. Jin Shengman paused, and then continued: "According to the reports of immigration officials in various places, among the 2.36 million fugitives counted, 1.2 million of them are willing to emigrate, the main reason is poverty, and a considerable number of the remaining 1.1 million people are also interested in emigrating, but for prudent reasons, they are still waiting and seeing. However, as soon as the news of the first batch of immigrants arrives, it is believed that they will soon strengthen their intention to emigrate. ”

Hearing that the first batch of people willing to emigrate had reached more than one million, Li Su was also overjoyed, Taiwan now has hundreds of thousands of Han Chinese, and if there are more than one million immigrants, then the population of the entire island will be nearly two million. With these two million people, his various industries on the island can be fully developed, and only when Taiwan's local industries are developed, can they better develop outward.

But before Li Yu finished happy. Jin Shengman continued: "These 1.2 million immigrants are only the first batch of immigrants, and it is initially estimated that if they want to be sent to the island for resettlement, it will take at least a year, which is still well prepared in all aspects." And there are no surprises, otherwise it could have taken longer. ”

Jin Shengman paused again when he said this, and then said, "In addition, in the first batch of immigrants. Only a small part of the family migrated in, and most of them were still a family to explore the way. And when these strong people feel that life in Taiwan is superior, they will definitely send the news back. According to preliminary estimates, in the next three years, two million to three million immigrants will come to Taiwan, but in this way, Taiwan's population will soon be saturated, and if there are more mainland immigrants coming, it will not be a driving force for Taiwan's economy, but will become a burden on Taiwan. ”

Hearing Jin Shengman's previous report, Li Su was still very excited, but when he heard the last few words, his face also sank, although he knew that the population of Taiwan in later generations had reached an astonishing more than 20 million, but that was because Taiwan had completed modern industrialization at that time, and most of the food and various materials needed could be obtained through imports, but with the current conditions in Taiwan, as well as the current sea and land transportation conditions, Taiwan will definitely not be able to accommodate too many people, and it is estimated that two or three million is already the limit. Any more would be a burden on the government. Moreover, this population limit is the result of taking into account the fact that Taichung and Taitung counties are still in the hands of the natives.

"It seems that new settlements need to be opened!" Li Su was silent for a moment before he spoke, and at the same time he turned his head to look at the wall on the side of the study, where a large map of the world hung there, and his gaze happened to fall on the island of Luzon.

Jin Shengman saw Li Su's gaze fall on Luzon, but she couldn't help sighing. At the beginning, Yi Su instigated a war between Silla and Baekje, and then took the opportunity to annex their two countries. At the beginning, she still couldn't understand why Li Su would attack the two countries? After all, in every aspect, Silla and Baekje are poor countries, they don't have much oil or water at all, and if one is not good, it is likely to cause the people of both countries to revolt, and for this will make the invaders pay a huge price.

However, as she served as Li Su's secretary during this time, she slowly came into contact with some content that she couldn't touch before, which made her slowly understand that the original His Royal Highness the King of Qi in front of her, his ambitions were no longer limited to a certain place or a certain interest, and the real reason why Li Su destroyed Silla and Baekje was because they were unfortunately in the way of Li Su's advancement.

After following Li Su for so many days, although Jin Shengman is not completely clear about Li Su's ambitions, she also knows a general idea, and she also knows that Li Su can not care about other things, but for his ideals and ambitions, everything that stands in his way will be eliminated by him, and they Silla are very unfortunate and happen to be one of the roadblocks. The same is true for Baekje and Wa, but now it will soon be Luzon, which is not far from Taiwan.

Sure enough, as Jin Shengman expected, Li Su suddenly asked: "Shengman, what is the situation in Luzon now, is there a chance to do it?" ”

Thinking that Luzon would also fall into the clutches of Li Su like his own Silla, Jin Shengman couldn't help but sigh with some sympathy, but he still replied: "Half a year ago, Luzon was still under the rule of seven tribal alliances, but the control of these tribes was only in the east and central of Luzon, as for the western coast, it has been slowly controlled by our Han people, and in addition to Manila, there have also begun to be maritime merchants to establish some small settlements on the island, but because there is no official support, so the scale is not large, let alone compared to Manila. ”

Hearing this, Li Su nodded, although Luzon is not far from Taiwan, but because he has been busy with the affairs of Sanhan Prefecture and the Wa State before, most of the troops are also stationed there, and there is no extra force to put on Luzon Island, so for the development of Luzon Island, it is mainly non-governmental, and at most there is a semi-official slave hunting association to participate in it, which is why the city of Manila was built.

At this time, I only heard Jin Shengman continue: "But just half a year ago, the balance between the seven major tribal alliances was broken, and a new round of conquest began between the various tribes, and it has not completely ended until now, but now the seven major tribal alliances have been wiped out, and only three tribal alliances remain, although there is still a war between the three alliances, but because their respective losses are not small, this melee should be nearing the end, if there is no accident, they will soon stop, and then recuperate." , until you have the strength to fight again, and in the end there will be a winner to dominate Luzon. ”

However, after listening to Jin Shengman's words, Li Su frowned, and asked with some puzzlement: "Since it is a melee of seven tribal alliances, and four tribal alliances have been destroyed, there should be many prisoners of war, but I seem to remember that the recent slave trade in our Taiwan has not increased much, what is the reason for this?" ”

Jin Shengman smiled after hearing this: "This is mainly affected by two reasons, the first reason is very simple, last time the slave hunting association found a continent overseas, His Royal Highness also personally ordered to name the continent after Australia, it is said that gold mines were found in Australia, so many people went there to pan for gold, among which there are also many people with strong wealth, in addition to sending henchmen to go, they also bought a large number of slaves, and these slaves were bought directly from Manila, Therefore, many of the slaves on the Luzon side were not transported to Taiwan. ”

After hearing this, Li Su immediately understood that Taiwan would have to pass through Manila to get to Australia, and in addition, the slaves there were cheap, and the slave catchers did not have to risk sending slaves here, so they were naturally willing to get rid of them there.

After explaining the first reason, Jin Shengman frowned a little, and his tone was a little heavier: "As for the second reason, it is a little unfavorable to us, mainly because two of the remaining three tribes in Luzon have found that as the war progresses, the number of people they can control is getting smaller and smaller, which also leads them to consciously increase the population of their own tribe, so some of the prisoners of war captured by them are not willing to sell to the slave catcher team, but stay in the tribe, even if they can't join the army, It was also possible to produce agriculture within the tribe, and this was the main reason why the slave trade did not increase significantly after this melee! ”

Hearing this news, Li Su also frowned, but soon relaxed, the original positioning of Luzon was a slave providing land, but now this slave providing land has reduced the production of slaves, so there is no need for it to exist, it can just be vacated and used as its next immigration place! (To be continued.) )
