Chapter 873

With the cold wind from Siberia coming southward, Qingzhou City became much colder overnight, and then the heavy snow fell from the sky, making the streets and alleys white.

But even so, the soldiers in Qingzhou camp are still training every day, but the difference is that today's soldiers not only practice the traditional array, but also practice crawling.

"Emperor, the military workshop has already delivered 5000 Falcon rifles to us. According to song Changping, we can complete the loading of 60000 people by next autumn."

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

"The progress is satisfactory, but thanks to Li Chuyuan and the Dutch, the arms trade has provided sufficient funds for the military workshop." Xiao Ming said with a smile.

Although it can't compare with the production efficiency of millions of rifles in European countries every year during World War II, he is very satisfied with the current production efficiency of the military workshop in Dayu. After all, this is the first attempt of the military workshop to produce breech rifles.

Niu Zhen looked excited. The rifle was finally named Falcon rifle. The effect of equipping the army surprised many generals.

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

"This battle between Li Chuyuan and the merchant Council is really cheap for us." Niu Zhen laughed, "but emperor, although we got a lot of money from Li Chuyuan, if we let the war last until next autumn, I'm afraid the damage to the South will be even greater."

"I don't have to worry about that. There are not many industries in the south. What's prosperous is agriculture. Besides, I have my own consideration." Xiao Ming has a deep vision.

Niu Zhen is puzzled. He looks at Xiao Ming and waits for an explanation.

After pondering for a while, he said, "do you remember the decree of the imperial court last year that the narrow township was moved to the wide Township? "

" of course, I remember that after the decree was issued, the southern aristocrats deliberately obstructed it, resulting in little effect. " When he mentioned Niu Zhen's indignation, it seemed to him that he was deceiving the king.

However, he was also very clear that the South had a weak idea of the royal family and had always disobeyed the orders of the imperial court.

"That's it. If they don't beat each other to pieces, how can I take the opportunity to move the people to Kanto?" Xiao Ming said lightly.

Niu Zhen suddenly realized that there are many people in Kanto now, and the people left behind by the six cities simply can't completely control it. What's more, now there is a country called tsarist Russia in the north.

According to the previous statistics of the imperial court, most of the population of Dayu was concentrated in the south. During the Northern War, many people fled to the south for refuge, which made the population of the South more.

"The emperor thinks deeply, so it is necessary." Niu said.

Xiao Ming nodded. Now a large number of secret guards have been going south to monitor the Chu war. Generally speaking, the two sides are still in a state of friction. Occasionally, there are some small frictions. He doesn't want to waste his strength at this time.

"That's right. The fundamental reason why all the dynasties lost control of the north is that they didn't let the Han people live in these lands. For me, the most terrible weapon is not the musket or the cannon, but the weapon of breeding. If you want to completely control Kanto, you have to move the people and try your best to give birth to children. When every inch of land in Kanto is Han people, the power of the great Yu state is strong Force can really take root there. "

Niu Zhen was stunned. He sighed, "the emperor's words made me suddenly realize that in the past, it seemed that foreign people occupied our land and multiplied, so that they became more and more powerful. Now it's time for us to return them in the way of human beings."

Xiao Ming smiles at the soldiers he is training. Why can Europeans occupy most of the world in the age of great navigation? What they rely on is the migration of their own civilians. In this way, after hundreds of years of reproduction, it has become a contemporary pattern.

Therefore, he had a grand plan in his mind, that is, to lay a foundation for the Han people to move there and have children.

With the idea of how many people can live in this era, he believes that as long as the living standard improves, the population of Dayu will grow explosively. At this time, coupled with the population base of Dayu, it is not a dream to live all over the world.

After discussing this problem with Niu Zhen, Xiao Ming returned to the palace after his inspection.

At this time, he drew up a decree to reward childbearing. Since the implementation of the decree, all families in Dayu who have three or more children will be exempted from taxes for one year.

If the fourth is born, the government will give subsidies to the five golden dragons, the fifth to the five golden dragons, and so on.

Xiao Ming calls Pang Yukun and Fijian over to decide the matter. He first explains the necessity of family planning, and then begins to discuss the decree with them.

"The three starting points are a little low. The emperor, in fact, most of the common people's families in the state of Dayu have more than three children, because for them, children are labor, and they are also the basis to avoid being bullied by other families with many children. The minister thinks that the tax reduction will be adjusted to four, and the Golden Dragon subsidy will start from the fifth." Said Pang.Fijian nodded, "Pang Shoufu is right, Emperor. In this way, it can also reduce the burden of the Treasury. After all, there are too many places to spend money now. "

after thinking for a while, Xiao Ming finally nodded," just do as you say. In addition, you will start to prepare for going south in a few years. After copying the merchant Council and the families of the southern aristocrats, the imperial court will have plenty of treasury. "

Pang Yukun and Fiji looked at each other, and it was obvious that the plan of going south did not attract the rich.

In the past, the imperial court gave in to the powerful families because they were not strong enough, but now they can deal with it, and the most important thing is that the powerful families in the south are more hostile to the royal family, which can be seen from the last move of the narrow village to the wide village.

When Xiao Wenxuan was in his position, a group of officials with rich family background in the South strongly advocated the exemption of taxes from the rich family in the south.

When this proposal was rejected, these Southern aristocrats simply refused to pay taxes, which led to the emptiness of the state treasury of Dayu.

In their eyes, their emperor must hate these Southern aristocrats more than they do. It's not surprising that they have made this decision.

"Yes, Emperor. I'll prepare for it when I get back." They bowed and said.

Xiao Ming nodded his head. He looked at the continuous snow, and his heart was full of ambition.

At present, the industry of Dayu is developing steadily, and the railway construction is also showing a good momentum. The only thing lacking today is the market for dumping goods.

In order to support more and more people in Dayu, he can't wait any longer. The first step is to unify the country.
