"Outside the pass, not only needs talents, but also population!"

In Chenyang, at the first "Guangdong Population Conference" jointly organized by the Liaodong Governor's Office, Liaodong Governor's Office and Liaodong Commander's Office, after the Liaodong Governor's Office proposed, Eunuch Wei happily came to the stage to make an important speech after the Liaodong Governor's Office delivered a speech.

Eunuch Wei pointed out that the current population situation in Liaodong is not optimistic. After the early census of personal military and the Martial Arts, there were more than 3.62 million Han people, more than 230,000 Jurchens, Mongolians, Koreans and other tribes, with a total population of less than 4 million.

"What does this mean? It's just that the land outside my pass is as large as the Shuntian Prefecture in the pass, and not as large as the Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture in the south of the Yangtze River."

Eunuch Wei did not speak nonsense, Shuntian Prefecture was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, and its population was far more than four million. Suzhou and Songjiang Prefectures are the essence of Jiangnan, with a large population. As early as three years ago, relevant personnel from the SAR were ordered to secretly conduct a census on the population of Jiangnan and Southeast.

Of course, this census will definitely not be supported by the local government, but if you have money, you can make the devil push the mill, and the prefectural and the county will refuse to handle it, but the six officials below are willing to collect the money.

Eunuch Wei conducted a large population census, which was actually to understand the question he had always had in his previous life, that is, what was the population of the Ming Dynasty?

Experts based on a large number of historical materials in the Qing Dynasty and in order to embellish the significant reduction in the Han population caused by the Qing army's entry into the pass, suggesting that the population of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 60 million.

If you say more than 60 million, you can probably match the population reduction data of the Ming Dynasty, because the population of each province in the 17th year of the Shunzhi period of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty totaled more than 21 million. Previously, the Ming Dynasty had a peasant war and the southern anti-Qing war, and it was reasonable to die for 30 to 40 million. The hat could also be placed on Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong's head, which had nothing to do with our Qing army.

My father-in-law, I just don’t believe it.

Why don't you believe it?

Because of one incident, a group of people questioned the more than 800,000 military and civilians who died in Yangzhou in ten days. They said that Yangzhou City could only accommodate 100,000 or 200,000 people, but how could it be killed more than 800,000?

What is it said that "The Ten Diaries of Yangzhou" is a historical material that was passed back to China from Japan, but it is a conspiracy of the Japanese and fake books.

It seems that as long as it is related to Japan, everything that is not conducive to the "Qing Dynasty" is fake.

I am afraid of being serious in everything. My father-in-law thinks that if you were willing to keep historical materials sincerely in the Qing Dynasty and not to revise them randomly, why did the large number of historical books in the Ming Dynasty that were significantly different from those in the Qing Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty that were all found in North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam?

However, there is no reason to believe it, so my father-in-law has to check the real population data by himself.

So, my father-in-law saw that the Yangzhou local chronicles recorded that the population of Yangzhou prefectures and counties in the first year of Hongwu was more than 1.56 million, and then there was no in the middle. Finally, the population of Yangzhou prefectures and counties in the Shunzhi period turned into more than 500,000.

Just looking at the population of Yangzhou prefectures and counties during the Shunzhi period, it seems that people can believe that the incident of more than 800,000 being killed in Yangzhou is somewhat fake.

But where is the middle going?

Yangzhou did not go through war in the Ming Dynasty. After more than two hundred years of peace, how did Yangzhou prefectures and counties not move from 1.56 million? In the end, it became more than 500,000 during the pseudo-Qing period.

My father-in-law thinks that after more than two hundred years of peaceful development, Yangzhou's population will increase by at least five times, and the population of six or seven million is considered small.

The reason is that Yangzhou's economic structure in the Ming Dynasty was equivalent to that in later generations, Shanghai and Chongqing.

And, no hunger!

Wealthy? Wealthy, wealthy? are the basic characteristics of Yangzhou.

Another important feature of a large city is that its main city is actually not big? And it is all inhabited by civilians. Its suburbs are the areas where a large number of wealthy people live.

The population of prefectures and counties is 500,000 people killed in the city and outside the city are the real situation.

What a pity is that in my father-in-law’s previous life, the city of Yangzhou completely forgot about this disaster.

The only thing that left the mark of this massacre is the alley of "screws and tops". "screws and tops" are homophonics of "stacking corpses and tops"? This is a symbol of the wisdom of the people of Yangzhou.

There are corpses and roofs, and there is an alley? The corpses are piled up higher than the roof.

If you don't say that, no one will know the history of this alley.

Because of Yangzhou? My father-in-law has the ability in this life, so he naturally has to conduct a census.

The Catholic Church is also very interested in the Chinese census? As the Archbishop of the Oriental Diocese of the Catholic Church and His Excellency Pang Maichen, there are naturally some conveniences to see the survey data of the Catholic Church in China's population (some cities).

For example, "Matthew Ricci's Notes on China" Volume 5, Chapter 18 of "Father Guo Jujing and Xu Baolu in Shanghai", is the most realistic and first-hand historical material that my father-in-law saw.

According to Matteo Ricci's record, Shanghai is a small town with two miles of Great Wall Wall, but there are as many houses in the suburbs as in the city, with a total of more than 40,000 houses. Each family is about five or six people.

Matteo Ricci wrote that a small town in China has such a large population, and even the countryside is overcrowded.

"The city is surrounded by a flat highland, which looks rather than a rural area, a large garden city, with towers and rural huts and endless farmland. There are more than 20,000 households on this periphery, and with the city and suburban population, it has a total of more than 300,000 people, all of which belong to the same urban management."

Guo Jujing confirmed that the 300,000 people written by Matteo Ricci are not the entire population of Shanghai County, but the population that only lives in the middle of Shanghai and the suburbs outside the city walls.

The actual population of a county in Shanghai is about one million.

Eunuch Wei is a man who is very realistic, so he specially sent someone to retrieve the Shanghai County Chronicles and Songjiang Prefecture Chronicles. The two local chronicles show that in the 24th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, the population of Shanghai County was more than 500,000.

Although in the first year of Wanli, the imperial court divided the three townships in Shanghai and established Qingpu County, the remaining population of Shanghai must be more than one million.

The division of new counties can prove that Shanghai County has too many populations, which makes it difficult for local governments to manage, so they have to establish new counties.

Shanghai is just a county belonging to Songjiang Prefecture, which shows that the population of Songjiang Prefecture is far more than that of Liaodong today.

One Yangzhou had a population of five or six million, the other was Songjiang, and the other was Suzhou, Changzhou, Yingtian, etc. It is no exaggeration to say that the population of Jiangnan alone in the Ming Dynasty was as many as tens of millions.

So, how do experts say that the people in the North Korea have a population of 60 million, and people have asked them to eat it?

Of course, hidden households in the Ming Dynasty were also a major reason. Because of the investment, if the population officially counted by the Ming Dynasty was 10 million, then hidden households would be at least 30 million.

This is also the reason why some studies show that the population of nearly 200 million in the Ming Dynasty.

One to three is the characteristic of the population data of the Ming Dynasty and the reason for the demise of the country.

A large number of hidden households are not counted as taxes, but are just the money-making machine for the gentry. How can the country not have any trouble?

Two hundred million, my father-in-law doesn't recognize this data either.

Its data is at least 300 million.

Because when the pseudo-Qing Dynasty was destroyed, the actual controlled area was smaller than that of the Ming Dynasty. How could it have a population of 400 million, and the Ming Dynasty did not have one?

Everyone is the same for farming land. Even the Ming Dynasty had more Liaodong than the Qing Dynasty. The northeast of the Qing Dynasty was forbidden from Han people to live in, so farming and grain output were equal to zero.

Xinjiang, Tibet, and Mongolia are also equal to zero. The population of these two areas is only three to four million.

The methods of rule over these three regions were almost no different from those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. Both sides had stationed troops and had corresponding means.

Therefore, in the end, let’s talk about food, and the area within the Ming Dynasty.

Crops like sweet potatoes and corn feed countless people, listen to them.

When there were no natural disasters, the faces of people in the Ming Dynasty were red, and the faces of people in the Qing Dynasty were melons and vegetables. Sweet potatoes were introduced to the Ming Dynasty to feed pigs.

Even in the Ming and Qing dynasties, even when my father-in-law was in his previous life, the main grain crops were rice and wheat!

Therefore, with the same land and the same grain output, there was a more developed workshop economy in the Ming Dynasty, and sometimes intermittent maritime trade. How could the population in the Ming Dynasty be worse than that of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty, and even only one-something that of the Pseudo-Qing Dynasty.

As for the reason, I can tell if I move my butt.

Fortunately, my father-in-law made "Da Qing" his own name. From then on, only Wei Daqing in the world and no longer loved Daqing.

However, Liaodong's current population problem is still very serious.

Too little, too little!

The Liaodong Dusi, which is equivalent to the area of ​​three to five provinces within the pass, has only been more than three million Han people in two hundred years. What is the problem?

It is not that the land in the Northeast is not suitable for cultivation, but that the concept of "frontier" has led to the inability to achieve great development outside the pass.

In essence, it is a problem between Mongolia and Jurchens.

The Jurchens and father-in-law have solved the problem, and the Mongolians and father-in-law are ready to start.

The situation outside the gate is very good now, not a small one!

It is time to call the people of every corner of the empire while the agricultural production movement is launched!

"Population is the basis for a region's prosperity and the basis for a region's development. Without a population, there is no question of nothing."

"We can say something publicly here that it is the general trend that the land outside the pass will be changed to the land and the land will be restored to the current, the establishment of provinces, prefectures and counties will be established. No one can stop it, and no one can stop it!"

"Whoever dares to stop it will be an enemy of our people outside the pass and our great imperial army!"

"So, as Master Jinglei said, you are the officials of all provinces, prefectures and counties in the future. This official must be able to do things. Our family is not afraid of you being greedy, but what we are afraid of is that you are not greedy!"

"But you can be greedy, but if you don't get things done for our family, our family will take your life!"

"From today on, you will mobilize. I don't care what methods or means you use. In short, within three years, the population of Liaodong will be overturned."

"What? The rich people live well and refuse to come? They refuse to come. Those who have no money and no land can live, can they come?"

"Go to Shaanxi, to Gansu, to Ningxia, to Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan... Our family gives us policies, our family also gives us money, and we have all the food, accommodation and food, we can't do it, but our family can do it, so it's better to be clean."

Regarding the large-scale introduction of population, Eunuch Wei received all-round support from Yang Hao. Although the Liaodong Governor Zhou Yongchun ran into the pass early, as long as the Governor's yamen is still there, this yamen will definitely support Eunuch Wei's drastic reforms in Liaodong in all aspects.

Liaodong Dusi, similarly, even if the brand of this unit has been removed.

The convening of the Population Conference was smooth, successful, and worthy of celebration.

After the conference, at another relevant talent meeting, Eunuch Wei even declared in front of the participants: "But those who are capable, no matter who they have committed, even if they have committed crimes, can come to our house. We cannot give anything else to our house, and there is no problem to give a wealth."

However, Eunuch Wei redefined the definition of talents, which was no longer the kind of knowledgeable people, but focused on scientific and technological innovation.

"The ones who come to heaven, go to the sea, interesting, strange, strange, unheard of, can drive productivity, or let our army win battles, you can see you as long as you are willing to come to our house. If you really come into our eyes, hey, you can ask for officials, money, and women, even if you want our women, you can do it!"

In the eyes of some participants, Eunuch Wei's attitude towards strange people seemed to be very similar to Wang Mang of the Xin Dynasty back then.

"You guys must do your best and implement our ideas. Oh, don't think about fooling us, or think that our family is just a eunuch, how long can we stay outside this pass?"

"If you have this kind of idea, you're a big mistake. Our family tells you that our family will not be able to fall out for a while. Even if our family is about to fall one day, our family will definitely be able to cut off the heads of you who fooled us."

After a busy day, my father-in-law was so tired that he couldn't speak. When he returned to his residence, he raised his hand and said, "Come on."

The Qing lady Abahai immediately brought a table of side dishes. Her father-in-law was simple and frugal, and called on comrades to have up to four dishes and one soup a day. He must set an example.

After eating, he drank another bowl of ginseng soup to relieve his energy. After sitting for a while, he moved to the public housing. He also had to take care of thousands of chickens every day at night.

When the Liaodong Production and Construction Corps was reviewing the situation related to the promotion of the first phase of the Northern Wilderness Project, a knock on the door outside sounded, and then an emergency delivery from the capital came to my father-in-law.

"Oh, Song Xiance is really not good at doing things. He was so yelling that he was very capable. But when he was in front of him, he lost his mind. In the end, he still wanted our family to do it himself?"

My father-in-law cursed and took out a blank imperial edict from a pile of copywriting, picked up a pen and wrote a few words, then bent down to the box under the table and searched, took out a seal and covered it.

After finishing, he ordered the people in the attendant to send the secret order immediately in front of the army, and the generals above the Fifth Division were launched together.

"The emperor is not good. The most important thing for successful people is to be ahead of others in everything. One step later is to fall behind an era."
