As the cold wind from Siberia moved to the south, Qingzhou City became colder overnight, and then heavy snow fell from the sky, staining the streets and alleys into bright white.

But even so, the soldiers in the Qingzhou camp are still undergoing daily training, but the difference is that in addition to practicing the traditional array, the soldiers are also practicing crawling forward.

"The emperor, the military workshop has already delivered 5,000 Falcon rifles to us. According to Song Changping, it will be able to complete the installation of 60,000 people by the fall of next year."

Niu Ben and Xiao Ming patrolled the barracks in heavy snow. It has been a month since they returned from Dengzhou last time. This is also his normal inspection of the army at the end of the year.

"This progress is satisfactory, but thanks to Li Chuyuan and the Dutch, this arms trade has allowed the military workshop to have sufficient funds." Xiao Ming smiled.

Although it cannot be compared with the production efficiency of millions of rifles in European countries during World War II, he is very satisfied with the current gun production efficiency of the Da Yu State Military Workshop. After all, this is the military workshop's first attempt to produce breech rifles. .

Niu Ben looked excited. The breech rifle produced this time was finally named the Falcon rifle. The effect of equipping the army surprised the generals.

In contrast, although the traditional line-up shooting is still necessary, they can take a more flexible combat method with Falcon rifles.

"This time the battle between Li Chuyuan and the Merchant Council is really cheap for us." Niu Ben laughed loudly, "But the emperor, although we got a lot of silver from Li Chuyuan, let the war last until next autumn. , I am afraid the damage to the South will be greater."

"Don't worry about this. There is not much industry in the south, and agriculture is only prosperous. Besides, I have my own consideration in it." Xiao Ming's eyes were deep.

Niu Ben was a little puzzled, he looked at Xiao Ming and waited for an explanation.

After pondering for a while, he said, "Do you still remember the decree of the imperial court to move the narrow township last year?"

"Of course I remember that after this decree was issued, the Southern tycoons deliberately obstructed it, and the effect was minimal." Mentioning this Niu Ben was indignant, and in his opinion it was simply a deception.

However, he was also very aware that the South had a weak view of the royal family, and had always violated the court's orders.

"That's it, if you don't let them beat each other up, how can I take the opportunity to move the people to the Guandong?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Niu Ben suddenly felt that the Kanto area is now sparsely populated, and the people who rely on the six cities can not completely control the Kanto area. What's more, a country called Tsarist Russia has appeared in the north.

According to previous statistics from the imperial court, most of the population of Dayu was concentrated in the south, and during the Northern War, many people fled to the south for refuge, which increased the population of the south.

"The emperor's thoughts are far-reaching, so to speak, it is really necessary." Niu Ben said.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now a large number of secret guards are going south, and they have been monitoring the Chu Kingdom War. Generally speaking, the two sides are still gearing up, and occasionally there is a small degree of friction. He doesn't want to use his power at this time.

"This is the case. The fundamental reason for the loss of control over the north in the past dynasties is that the Han people did not allow the Han people to thrive on these lands. For me, the most terrifying weapon is not a gun or a cannon, but the weapon of thriving. To control the Kwantung area, we must move the people to give birth to children. Only when every inch of land in Kwantung area is Han Chinese, the power of the Great Yu country can truly take root there."

Niu Ben was stunned when he listened. He sighed, "The words of the emperor made the final admiral come to realize. If you think about it, it seems that foreign races once occupied our land and thrived so that they became more powerful. Now we should also use them. The way is back."

Xiao Ming looked at the soldiers who were training and smiled. Why did Europeans occupy most of the world's land in the great voyage era? What they rely on is the migration of civilians in their own country. In this way, after hundreds of years of reproduction, it has become a contemporary pattern.

Therefore, he had already had a majestic plan in his mind. This was to lay a place to move the Han people to have children and thrive.

Based on the concept of how many people can give birth to in this era, he believes that the population of Dayu will explode as long as the living standards are improved. At this time, coupled with the population base of Dayu, it is not a dream to have the whole world.

He Niu Ben discussed this issue trivially, and Xiao Ming returned to the palace after inspection.

At this time, he drafted a decree to reward childbirth. Since the decree is implemented, all households in Da Yu with three or more births will be taxed for one year.

If the fourth child is born, the government will give the hardware dragon a subsidy, the fifth one will give the hardware dragon, and so on.

After making this decision, Xiao Ming called Pang Yukun and Fiji over. He first explained the necessity of the birth plan and then began to discuss the decree with the two.

"The three starting points are a bit low. The emperor. In fact, most people's homes in the country of Da Yu will have more than three children~lightnovelpub.net~ because for them, children are labor, and at the same time avoid being heirs by other children. The root of many people's bullying, the minister thinks, adjust the tax reduction and exemption to four, and the Golden Dragon subsidy starts from the fifth." Pang Yukun said.

Fiji nodded, "Pang Shoufu is right, the emperor, this will also reduce the burden on the treasury. After all, there are too many places to spend money."

Xiao Ming thought for a while, and finally nodded, "Just do what you said. In addition, in the next year, you will start preparing for going south. You will have plenty of treasury after copying the merchant council and the royal court's homes."

Pang Yukun and Fiji glanced at each other. It was obvious that there was no such thing as winning over the rich family in the plan to go south.

In the past, the imperial court compromised the rich family because their strength was not enough, but now they can deal with it completely, and the most important thing is that the rich family in the south are more hostile to the royal family. This can be seen in the last time the narrow town moved to the wide township.

Both of them are well aware of this issue. When Xiao Wenxuan was in his seat, a group of officials from the southern wealthy family strongly advocated exemption from taxes on the southern wealthy family.

When this proposal was rejected, these southern tycoons simply resisted and evaded taxes, which also led to the emptiness of the government treasury in Dayu.

In the eyes of the two, their emperor must hate these southern tycoons more than them, and this decision is not surprising.

"Yes, the emperor, the minister will prepare for this when he goes back." The two said, bowing.

Xiao Ming nodded, he was ambitious looking at the heavy snow that was still falling.

Now Dayu’s industry is developing steadily, and railway construction is also showing a good momentum. The only thing lacking today is the market for dumped goods.

In order to feed more and more people in the country of Da Yu, he can no longer wait. This unification of the country is the first step.
