Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 331: Stealing people and food, one gains while the other loses!

"Why did you tie us up?"

"Even if I die, I won't work for you!"

The craftsmen yelled and cursed Qin Ming.

Qin Ming continued:

"Daqian is already a dying candle in the wind. If you return, the next battlefield will be the Central Plains. Who can guarantee that they can survive the chaos of the battlefield after returning?"

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly stagnated.

No one can ignore this problem; the war will cause great casualties to them.

Seeing that everyone's momentum was suppressed, Qin Ming continued:

"Everyone, I don't have to ask you to do anything."

"But if you want to work here, I'll offer you the same price as the natives in the factories and workshops. You've probably heard that the wages and treatment here are good."

When these words were spoken, everyone was actually a little moved.

They are all craftsmen in various industries and have their own information channels.

Of course I've heard that the treatment in Qin Ming's place is several times better than that in Daqian!

However, Daqian had a strict household registration system, which did not give them any opportunity to migrate.

Now that the opportunity was there, there was only one question left.

"My wife, children, and my elderly mother are still in the Central Plains..."

At this time, a craftsman in the crowd quickly spoke up.

It must be great for them to work under Qin Ming.

But the relatives at home haven't come yet.

The question asked by this craftsman is exactly the question that troubles many of his peers.

Qin Ming raised the corner of his mouth and waved his hand:

"Everyone, after you come here, you can write to your families and ask them to come over."

"But Your Majesty, Daqian will never allow so many people to migrate."

They are not fools. Such a large-scale migration will cause great turmoil to Daqian.

But Qin Ming shook his head and said:

"If anyone dares to stop your family, I will send troops to attack them!"

"Even if we have to fight, make sure you create a gap for your families to escape!"

Qin Ming definitely has this ability.

After hearing his assurance, many people at the scene immediately lost their original resistance.

With my family around me, I have more opportunities to make money. In the past, such a good thing would be impossible to find even with a lantern.

Seeing their transformation, Qin Ming urged his inner strength to ensure that his voice spread throughout the training grounds, and spoke loudly:

"Now, I will give you one more chance. If anyone wants to leave, I will not stop them!"

"But if anyone wants to be protected by this king and have a better life, then write to your family and ask them to migrate with you."

A group of people immediately left the scene.

But nearly 80% of people chose to stay.

"Your Highness is really good at talking. He persuaded them with just a few words."

Chen Pi, who was standing below, said to Wu Qingye with admiration.

Wu Qingye also nodded slowly.

"I've heard from Elder Chen before that the most pressing issue for Your Highness right now is that these three prefectures have vast territories but are severely short of population."

"With these craftsmen bringing their families with them, we can increase our population by hundreds of thousands in one go!"

"It really solved many problems with just one move!"

Wu Qingye was right. The reason why Qin Ming opened the border was to allow them all to come with their families.

It’s because there is a shortage of people under his command.

Although due to their affluent lives, many indigenous people in Lingnan, Huxi and Jiangnan have begun to give birth to a large number of fat boys and girls.

But it takes more than ten years for these people to grow up.

This is simply not enough to support Qin Ming's various construction projects.

After comforting them, he called in thousands of literate soldiers to record the craftsmen's situation and help them bring their relatives over.

Qin Ming asked the secret guard to notify Liu Yueli to come to his tent.

"Your Highness, are you looking for me?"

"What's the reaction of the people in the Central Plains recently?"

"It's just like any other time during a war. Those who have relatives will go to distant places to find them, and those who don't will move away with their families, preparing to find another place to escape the war."

Liu Yueli carefully described what she saw.

"So fast... then hurry up!"

Qin Ming's face turned serious, and he immediately said to Liu Yueli:

"You go and arrange a group of people and tell the people that as long as they come to me, they can work in the factory and make money to survive."

In addition to these craftsmen and their families, Qin Ming also set his sights on ordinary people in the Central Plains.

These people are also important.

As long as we can attract them here, the relationship between Daqian and Lingnan will grow stronger while that between them will decline!

Using the same method, Qin Ming could even attract millions of people from other states.

"But Your Highness, many refugees who have traveled such a long distance are likely to die along the way. Furthermore, they may not be able to be resettled once they arrive, which is bound to cause unrest."

Although Qin Ming's idea was good, Liu Yueli was a little worried.

After following Qin Ming for a long time, she has gained a lot of experience.

Qin Ming smiled and said:

"You're kind enough to notice that, but I'm not asking them to take such a huge risk."

"Set up some outposts along the way and provide them with some food and fodder. As for how to accommodate them after they arrive..."

A meaningful look flashed across Qin Ming's face.

"Can you imagine?"

"Send them to the factory and let them live in the dormitories we built?"

"Yes, but not completely. It's okay in the beginning, but later on, it's more important for them to have a home to settle down in."

Qin Ming spoke lightly, then picked up a pen and paper, and in a few strokes, he drew a seven-story building.

"Look, a building like this can house fifty or sixty households, which means hundreds of people, right?"

"this……!"

Liu Yueli immediately covered her mouth.

She didn't understand technology, but what Qin Ming did was indeed interesting.

What they want to build is a seven-story building like in modern society.

"As long as the drainage problem is solved, it should be no problem for them to live here for a few years. In fact, it doesn't even take a few years. After working in the factory for a few months, they can rent a small yard on their own."

"Work hard for three to five years, and you can even buy your own house."

Qin Ming spoke calmly and told Liu Yueli the entire plan.

This is also part of her publicity.

If those people knew that Qin Ming's conditions were so good, they would definitely be more tempted.

"Your Highness, can we afford the kind of treatment you describe?"

Liu Yueli is very smart and discovered the problem early on.

It is really a dream for them to achieve such living conditions with only three state capitals.

Qin Ming said calmly:

"Of course, go ahead and do it."

"I see."

That night, a piece of news began to spread in the three prefectures of Luobei, Shannan and Qianzhong.

It was on this day that the imperial court issued a death order!

From today on, we must strictly control the checkpoints and not allow anyone to have private contact with the King of Qin!
