Immigration with criminals can reduce local security pressure, and in this way, it can also fill in the shortcomings of immigration, and avoid political problems caused by forced immigration to ordinary people in China.

Of course, there are many problems with criminal immigration. Western countries use colonies as places to exile criminals, which will cause chaos in the colonies and a series of other problems. Just imagine that a group of people who were originally committing crimes were thrown overseas. Although the immigration problem was all alleviated to a certain extent, the subsequent public security and other problems will inevitably arise.

Besides, Western countries’ policies towards colonies are plundering policies, which will also cause conflicts between overseas territories and local areas. However, this contradiction will not intensify immediately, but as time goes by, the contradictions will become deeper and deeper and eventually break out.

This is the root of the independence movement in overseas colonies of Western countries in later generations. The most famous of them was that the United States became independent. Zhu Yicheng did not want to see his new Ming become like this. Therefore, from the beginning, he did not adopt the Western colonial approach to overseas territories, but tried his best to govern like his local government.

But some problems are inevitable. Originally, Zhu Yicheng always thought that Westerners were a little stupid, why did they manage the colonies in such a rough and simple way, and even felt that this was caused by the greed and shortsightedness of the Westerners. But when he sat in this position and faced a series of problems in overseas territories, Zhu Yicheng could understand the ideas of Western countries.

Just like now, Xinming's population is one of the biggest factors restricting Xinming. The shortage of population has made Xinming only slow down its development and even stagnate.

If Zhu Yicheng had been born a hundred years earlier and occupied Xinming before Western countries, then he could take his own way. He could complete his own layout in twenty years, thirty years or even longer according to his own ideas.

But it is impossible to do so now. Although the strength of the Ming Dynasty is obvious to all, the Ming Dynasty did not have an absolute advantage in the sea. For Xinming, in addition to internal development, there are external factors. Among them, France, Britain, and even Spain are all European powers. To be honest, it was a lucky thing to be able to block the coalition forces of France and Spain again.

Zhu Yicheng carefully read a series of information compiled after the war and asked the General Staff to conduct a review exercise. The conclusion that the French commander was not worried that the British would have seized their own way of retreat, and at the same time hesitated in the war, and did not resolutely and decisively launched a general attack on the Ming army.

If the opponent was more determined and the Ming army's resistance was not so tenacious, I'm afraid the Ming army's front line would have been broken by the coalition forces long ago. If that were the case, the blow to Xinming would be huge. Even after losing the elite front line, the Ming Dynasty might not be able to protect even half of the current Xinming.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable for Wang Dong to ask the local people to continue to increase immigration to Xinming. In addition to Xinming's construction demand, the growth of the population base can also maintain the stability of Xinming's military power to fight against possible wars with Western countries.

It is precisely because of this that Zhu Yicheng decided to follow the example of Western countries in implementing the policy of exile of criminals overseas. Of course, exile is not ignored. If it is just exiled, although the immigration problem will be alleviated in a short period of time, it will be harmful to overseas territories in the long run.

When Zhu Yicheng proposed to manage these people through labor reform, Jiang Jin's concerns were slightly removed. At present, this method is also a way to make up for it.

However, Jiang Jin also proposed that the management of these exiles overseas must be strictly controlled, and even if they are formally resettled after the sentence expires, the government cannot relax the management of these people.

Zhu Yicheng did not argue with this, but just asked Jiang Jin to come forward with the Ministry of Justice and the Governor of Xinming to obtain a specific charter, and then implement it according to the law.

After saying this, Zhu Yicheng rubbed his forehead that was a little swelling. When he put down his hand, he saw that Jiang Jin looked a little hesitant, and immediately asked: "What are Jiang Aiqing thinking? This is not the court, so it's okay to just say something."

"Yes, Emperor." Jiang Jin hurriedly bowed and said: "The Emperor just said that filling immigration with criminals can alleviate some of the problems of insufficient immigration, but when I think about it carefully, I feel that this matter is just an emergency. Now that the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty have been settled, the people live and work in peace, and the people are prosperous in business. In addition, the virtue of the Emperor's education, there are actually not many criminals in the country. Even if all these people are sent overseas?"

"Continue to talk." Zhu Yicheng recalled the documents sent by the Ministry of Justice before and said seriously.

Jiang Jin continued: "I just thought about it. It is not without a large number of criminals, such as the Taiping Mansion before and the Xishan now. However, these people are not suitable for being sent overseas to avoid instability overseas. So I thought about it and gave up this year."

The Taiping Prefecture and Xishan mentioned in Jiang Jin's speech are the two major bases for the Ming Dynasty to detain the Qing Dynasty war criminal prisoners and to carry out labor reform.

After the failure of the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty adopted a variety of measures against the Qing Dynasty's policies, including not only the method of abandoning Manchus and following the Han Dynasty, but more importantly, the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were detained and changed by labor reform. Of course, for ordinary Manchus, as long as these people were willing to reform themselves, abandon their previous Manchus, and regard themselves as Ming people, the court would not go too far. Of course, these household registrations were not different from ordinary Ming people on the surface, but in fact, all files were backed up in the Jinyiwei and were also monitored by Jinyiwei in daily life.

Zhu Yicheng has always believed in this sentence as the saying goes. But then again, as long as these people are safe and stable as the people of the Ming Dynasty and completely abandon their status as a universal person, the court will not cause any trouble for them. Doing so is just to prevent them.

As for those in Taiping Prefecture and Xishan, it is different. These are the main care of the court. If these people are exiled overseas, God knows what will happen.

Jiang Jin continued: "But I thought of something again just now, that is, the court now uses Koreans to fill Liaodong. I think this method is suitable for Xinming."

Zhu Yicheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and the first thing he thought of was whether Jiang Jin planned to continue to be immigrated by the North Koreans to immigrate to Xinming? But when he thought about it carefully, it was wrong. North Korea only has two million people and now it has to undertake the immigration to fill Liaodong. Where can more people immigrate to Xinming?

Jiang Jin has always been cautious in his work and considers the problems carefully. He could not have thought of this. But he mentioned North Korea again. Zhu Yicheng thought about it carefully and seemed to understand Jiang Jin's idea, and immediately asked him if he was thinking about Japan.

"The emperor is wise. I thought of this country before I mentioned the Japanese emperor. The emperor is far away from me and is beyond my reach..."

Jiang Jin flattered him and Zhu Yicheng immediately laughed. After laughing and scolding him a few words, he asked him to explain in detail why he was considering Japan.

Immediately, Jiang Jin expressed his opinion that although Japan is a small country, its population is quite large, which is much larger than that of North Korea. Nowadays, the total population of North Korea is only about 2 million, while Japan's population is around 15 million. Of course, this number is only estimated, but even if there is a gap, it is probably only a large or a large one.

At present, Japan was in the Tokugawa Shogunate era. Although it did not surrender to the Ming Dynasty, since the Ming Dynasty sent a fleet to Japan, Japan and the Ming Dynasty have been in contact with the Ming Dynasty. Now Japan has this close relationship with the Ming Dynasty in all aspects of industry, commerce, agriculture, and fishery. In addition, after the Ming Dynasty occupied Hokkaido, its influence on the shogunate has gradually increased.

What's more, although the Japanese have various personality problems, they have to admit that the ordinary Japanese people are hard-working and hard-working, and the Japanese have a better attitude towards respect than theirs. In addition, the Japanese have a stronger respectful attitude than him. In Jiang Jin's opinion, the lives of ordinary people in Japan are far inferior to those of the Ming Dynasty. Class confrontation and land annexation are serious. If some Japanese can be absorbed, they will give them the opportunity to immigrate to Xinming, and at the same time, they can imitate the way North Korea immigrates to Liaodong, and it will be easy to recruit people.

As for the shogunate, there is no need to worry. The Ming Dynasty immigrated from Japan to Shinming, which is obviously to alleviate the pressure on the shogunate's domestic rule. Coupled with Japan's unique political structure, the conflicts between the shogunate and local areas always exist. I think the shogunate is more willing to implement this matter.

After listening to Jiang Jin's words, Zhu Yicheng thought silently. Although Jiang Jin's suggestion was good, it was a big deal to use Japanese immigrate. Moreover, Zhu Yicheng came from later generations and his senses about Japan were very different from those of the people of this era. In addition, if the Japanese immigrated to Xinming increased to a certain extent, would it cause an imbalance in the population structure? This is also a question that Zhu Yicheng needs to consider.
