Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

Wanyan Zonghan became a powerful minister.

Completely control of the Jin army's military power.

They also have full right to make suggestions on domestic affairs.

The Sejo clan still controls domestic affairs.

Wanyan Zongfu could also take over military power.

They had to give Wanyan Zonghan plenty of face.

The two sides joined forces to undermine Emperor Wuqimai.

He assisted Aguda's eldest grandson in becoming emperor.

The sudden death of Wanyan Zongwang

This actually made the Jin state more united.

And to create a system of checks and balances among the three factions,

It has become a true leader!

……

Tokyo.

The Ming emperor and his officials had naturally received the news.

Zhao Yuan muttered, "Wanyan Zongwang isn't even forty years old yet, is he?"

"His death was too sudden."

Wen Huanzhang laughed and said, "I suspect it was poisoning."

"But there is no evidence."

"Will the Jin Kingdom become even more chaotic?" Zhao Yuan asked.

Wen Huanzhang guessed, "Not necessarily."

"The external pressure from the Ming Dynasty is too great,"

"The founding elites of the Jurchen people are still alive,"

"They should be able to reach a compromise."

"Only Wanyan Zonghan died,"

"The army is leaderless,"

"The generals all changed sides,"

"The faction of Emperor Shizu was so obsessed with fighting each other for power that they became so insane."

"Then the effectiveness of peace negotiations would be diminished,"

"Wanyan Zongwang died at a really bad time."

Zhao Yuan was somewhat disappointed.

Wen Huanzhang said, "We're not at a loss either."

"They took back the territory south of Yanshan and also got their hands on Juyong Pass."

"Although the area is sparsely populated,"

“But forced immigration is possible,”

"It's quite easy to immigrate 200,000 people within three years."

"The prefectures and counties in Hebei that have been recovered in the past two years,"

"The same sharp decline in population,"

“We must migrate from the south.”

"Huainan, Zhejiang, and Fujian are all good options,"

"They are all densely populated large provinces,"

"It can also be shipped directly to the north by sea."

Zhao Yuan said, "Two hundred thousand people is still a small number."

"More than twenty counties."

"On average, the population of a county is less than 10,000."

Wen Huanzhang said, "Lushun and Haibin County,"

"There are more than 10,000 people in total,"

"These are also going to be migrated there."

"According to information provided by spies,"

"between the Yanshan and Taihang Mountains,"

"Many civilians have gone into hiding,"

"We can lure them down the mountain to farm with food and clothing."

"Many other people are scattered throughout various places,"

"The golden man is beyond control,"

"They can also be gradually brought under our rule."

“Several years of serious governance,”

"There should be at least a million people."

"The land of Youyan is not a desolate wasteland,"

"It's not that the Jin dynasty's methods of governing the people were too ineffective,"

"The common people viewed the Jin government as venomous snakes."

Wen Huanzhang asked, "Does Your Majesty truly intend to truce for five years?"

Zhao Yuan said, "Five years is too long."

"Two or three years is possible,"

"There is still a lot to do."

"First, we must allow the economy to recover and improve public finances,"

"Store up lots and lots of grain."

"Secondly, reissue banknotes in Sichuan,"

"Supplemented with silver coins and copper coins,"

"Gradually phase out the iron coins there."

"This can only be implemented if the finances are improved,"

"Otherwise, there won't be sufficient reserves."

Chapter 3189 Encouraging Immigration

"Thirdly, we sent people to Japan to explore the Iwami silver mine,"

"Get more silver to issue silver coins."

"Fourth, send troops to the Penghu Islands,"

"Then go to Taiwan to fight the indigenous people."

"The indigenous people there frequently attacked the Han Chinese in the Penghu Islands."

"After the victory, they took the opportunity to bring the Penghu Islands under their rule,"

“There are a large number of Han Chinese there, but they are not subjects of the Ming Dynasty.”

Fifthly... there's just so much to do!

While we still have a few years left, we can manufacture as many firearms as possible.

Several major musket manufacturers,

Strict regulations are required.

Try to make lead bullets universal.

Some blacksmiths who used to forge armor

It can be converted into the manufacture of muskets.

To increase the production of muskets.

Three years,

Manufacturing 20,000 flintlock muskets should be no problem.

This really angered Zhao Yuan.

Expanding production capacity regardless of the consequences

They could build 100,000 in three years.

But that would severely disrupt the normal economic order.

After the emperor and his ministers reached an agreement,

He then convened a meeting of the cabinet and the six ministries.

In fact, immigration policy after the peace negotiations,

We've already discussed that in detail.

Huainan, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces

A total of more than 240 counties.

When providing immigration,

These counties were divided into three classes.

The large county provided 800 immigrants.

Zhongxian County will provide 500 immigrants.

The small county provides 300 immigrants.

This is a fixed quota, but it's also possible to exceed it.

The more immigrants provided...

The better one's performance is when it is calculated.

The imperial court will allocate funds.

Arrange supplies at immigrant gathering points along the route.

However, expenses within this county,

The county magistrate needs to take responsibility for this.

If there is any mistreatment or withholding of immigrants

Once discovered, all officials involved will be dismissed.

The severity of the offense will be determined according to the circumstances.

The consequences range from imprisonment to execution.

Any gentry or wealthy household,

Immigration must not be obstructed.

Even if you want to collect the debt, you're not allowed!

Once the act of obstructing immigration is confirmed...
