The three of them came to the inn, found a seat on the first floor, ordered four dishes, a small jar of wine, and chatted while drinking.

The inn also knew Li Hongji, and the hospitality was enthusiastic and sent more plates of salted peanuts to avoid waiting for the vegetables to sit in.

"Xiao Chen, why are there so many carriages outside the warehouse?" Li Hongji asked the guy with some surprise.

The guy laughed and explained: "The court has started immigration again, and the shipping stations and shopping malls are responsible for transporting. The transportation is more and the subsidies are also given. Our Chinese Chamber of Commerce has customized a large number of carriages to share the worries of the court and do things for the country."

Li Hongji smiled and joked: "Xiao Chen is becoming more and more vocal, and he is still sharing the worries of the court, saying that it is so real to make money."

The guy smiled and said, "This is the one who is welcoming and sending you to the public. You can't always be vulgar. Even if you listen, you can learn some good things."

"I want to immigrate again, I don't know where I am going?" Gao Yingxiang asked, "What are the new policies?"

Seeing that there were not many guests eating, the guy briefly introduced: "It is mainly Liaodong and Dongfanfu. The food and drink on the road are free of charge. When you arrive at your location, you can easily farm the fields and exempt taxes from two years..."

If the immigration work only relies on the policy of the court, the people will be spontaneous and will obviously be inefficient.

Transportation, food, accommodation and so on the road must have great difficulties for most people who have never even had counties and towns.

The emperor also realized this problem and began to be led by the government, with the participation and assistance of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, to take charge of immigration work from beginning to end, and relieve the people's fear of difficulties.

Compared with northern provinces such as Shaanxi, Henan, Shanxi, etc., which have persistent drought, the Liaodong region has cold but has cold-resistant crops, and the farming situation is much better.

You should know that the reason why the Little Ice Age in the late Ming Dynasty in history was even one of the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Empire. One of the reasons was that farming did not undergo adaptive changes.

For example, in the second year of Chongzhen, a blizzard occurred in most areas of Shaanxi Province. It was a good thing to have snowfall in the year of severe drought, but this heavy snow came after spring plowing, freezing all the seedlings to death.

In December, Yan'an Prefecture suffered another snow disaster, the people were frozen to death, and countless fleeing famines.

The cold of the Little Ice Age is rare in history. You also plant traditional rice and wheat. The poor harvest is light, and it is not surprising that there is no harvest.

If the drought is relieved by blizzards, crops with short growth periods and cold-tolerant and drought-resistant crops, such as potatoes, corn, and rye, will have much better results.

Li Hongji nodded repeatedly, not much different from the previous policies, but if he solved the difficulties in travel, more people would respond.

The Chinese tradition is to "rest the land and move again", but there is also a saying "people move to live, trees move to die." Especially those who have no land, it is equivalent to giving a chance to buy a property and start over.

The population dilution is certain, but there will be no situation where there is no one in the crowd. The main targets of immigration are landless and poor farmers.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the burden of disaster relief in disaster areas, and on the other hand, it is to effectively utilize manpower to carry out the development and construction of new regions.

The court just took some subsidies, but the disaster would last for at least three to five years. When immigrating to a new place, the value created in these three to five years would definitely be greater than that in the disaster area.

The reason why the emperor introduced such a policy was due to an estimate of the duration of the disaster.

Although he predicted the arrival of the disaster and made relatively sufficient preparations in advance, few people believed that the disaster would last for more than ten or twenty years.

Therefore, the work of disaster relief and disaster relief has been advancing and in-depth, and we are making preparations to survive more than ten or twenty years of major disasters.

More and more people are affected. The court has already thoughtful and done meticulously. Whether the opportunity can be seized depends on personal ideas and courage.

"It seems that your idea is quite visionary." Gao Yingxiang learned about the new immigration policy and agreed with his nephew's idea of ​​running for transportation. "But Guo'er and I still have to join the army, and we will fight for a future with one sword and one shot."

Li Hongji raised his glass to honor each other, "My uncle is running for great wealth, and his nephew only cares about small profits in front of him, so ashamed."

"Everyone has his own ideas, no one has any eyes. It's not good or bad. Let's see it in ten or eight years!"

Whether it is hard work in the army or other people making a living, it is always a personal choice. Who can guarantee that you will realize your hope?

But there are always choices, and there will be no despair at all. You can only take risks and endanger society.

The imperial court took more money, and the royal family did not need to save a lot of money, but giving the people more ways to survive is the only way to ensure the stability of the country and society.

The emperor knew the most about this principle and was constantly working towards this goal.

Liaodong, Jilin Prefecture.

After pacifying Liao, the court regained its expansion strategy and expanded from Liaodong to the north. It first established Jilin Prefecture, and the government was in Jilin Shipyard City, also known as "Shipyard", "Ji Lin" and "Jicheng".

After the reconstruction of Jilin Prefecture City, the Yangtze River Shipyard also began to recruit workers and build them. A large number of Jianghuai canal workers and craftsmen from major shipyards were moved here.

To the east of Jilin Prefecture City is Huhan City (now Dunhua), the capital of the Bohai Kingdom during the time period, which was called Aodong City at that time.

To the west is Yidong Hewei of the former Nuer Gandusi, also known as Long'an Station, and the current court has been renamed Changchun. The name during the Song Dynasty was well known, and Huanglong Mansion was also known.

The first round of the Ming army's advancement to the north was supported by these three points, forming a solid defense line. The north could continue to advance to the Songnen Plain, and the south could include thousands of square kilometers of direct jurisdiction.

Although Jilin Prefecture is vast and sparsely populated, the garrison and the arrival of a large number of immigrants still made it thriving.

The main thing is to support the court's policies. Immigration enjoys a policy in Liaodong. However, if you choose Jilin Prefecture, the policies you enjoy will be more preferential and more exciting.

First, the villages and towns around the three new cities of Jilin Prefecture, Changchun and Aodong were built; then there were post stations along the transportation route and the Ming army's relay warehouse for transporting materials, and the people settled in surrounding villages.

The planning of villages and towns is determined by the government, either the original site or the re-established area for livable and farming. It is close to the army, not only is it safer, but it is also more convenient for the army to assist in construction.

If you want to build Jilin Prefecture by relying solely on immigration, it is obviously not up to the requirements. You should know that Jilin Prefecture was continued to advance northward to eliminate the remaining logistics bases of Jiannu.

Therefore, the conscript system that began to be implemented in Liaodong recruited a total of 26,000 soldiers, all of which entered Jilin Prefecture, and participated in the pioneering and reclamation.
