Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

Chapter 828: Refugees Gather, Alarming the Imperial Court

There was a squeak.

As Qin Ming slowly pushed open the warehouse door.

Chu Ying finally saw all the wealth of the Datong Sect.

Mountains of gold and silver were neatly arranged, shining with warm light under the moonlight.

"If you need a warehouse for speculating on nuts, go find Fang Yuanjian."

Qin Ming suddenly remembered something, and casually opened his mouth to tell Chu Ying another extremely important piece of news.

They were standing in different positions. Qin Ming could see the overall situation and know everything.

But Chu Ying seemed a little shocked when he heard the name Qin Ming casually said since he didn't know much about the current situation.

"Fang Yuanjian?"

"The Fire Camp has secretly infiltrated and will help him next."

"Your Majesty... Fang Yuanjian is equally ambitious."

Chu Ying hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke up and expressed his concerns.

He has met Hua Yunhong and Fang Yuanjian.

Judging from the reactions during their interactions, Fang Yuanjian is no pushover either.

It was he who first extended his hand to the Western Regions, and even directly sent troops to support the weak Western Regions Chamber of Commerce, in an attempt to gain benefits from external wars.

Supporting such a person in Daqian is no different from supporting Liu Qin in Western Shu.

Chu Ying felt that even if he wanted to find an agent to influence the Shenmu Kingdom, it would be better to find a stable one.

"You're overthinking it. With such a huge dynasty, how could I possibly support anyone?"

Qin Ming smiled and spoke meaningfully.

The Shenmu Kingdom is too big and is indeed far away from Daqian.

No matter who you help, it will be a thankless task.

Chu Ying was right. Liu Qin of Western Shu was a disaster, and it was a mistake to let him take the throne.

But Qin Ming's perspective on the Shenmu Kingdom is different from that of Western Shu.

The Shenmu Kingdom doesn't need to help anyone up.

As long as they have no time to interfere in the Western Regions and affect their own plans, it will be fine.

"I see. Your Majesty is wise."

"Okay, take this money and go."

Qin Ming patted his shoulder and turned to leave.

When he returned to the room, Elder Song was waiting for him.

"Your Majesty, if you take him to the treasury... aren't you afraid he'll run away with the silver?"

"Chu Ying isn't after money; he wants to accomplish great things."

Qin Ming was not worried.

Some people are naturally less sensitive to silver, especially after having owned it before.

If you only have money in your eyes, you will become confused when your wealth reaches a certain level.

Living in a corner, I no longer have the drive to move forward.

He judged that Chu Ying was not a person who was motivated by money.

If he really took wealth as his starting point, he might just be a wealthy landlord somewhere in this world now.

He would not have founded the Western Region Chamber of Commerce, and he became a rebel and stood against the countries in the Western Region.

Power, fame and one's own ambitions are all important.

How many heroes in ancient and modern times have been defeated by these things.

Similarly, anything Qin Ming gave him would be more attractive to him than these tens of millions of taels of silver.

Elder Song understood, sighed and said:

"There's something I don't know if I should tell you."

"Just say what you want to say."

"It's like this. Recently, a group of refugees from the Western Regions have appeared in Daqian, and the border areas are almost unable to accommodate them."

"Oh?"

Qin Ming raised his eyebrows.

He hadn't prepared for this matter in advance.

There is a separation zone between the Western Regions and Daqian, a desolate land hundreds of miles long, covered with loess and undeveloped.

Apart from the dozens of railway tracks that were originally built here, there are usually very few people here.

Unexpectedly, these people from the Western Regions who were fleeing the war actually ran along the railway tracks to Daqian.

"Notify Luo Jiao and the Ministry of Revenue and have them receive the orders separately."

Luojiao is a non-governmental organization, and the Ministry of Revenue is from the imperial court. If both parties work together, they can quickly take in all these people.

Although Daqian has a good level of development, it will take a long time for the population to gradually grow.

This is a long-term problem.

In order to expand the population, Qin Ming absorbed a group of overseas immigrants from the Yan Dynasty during the war.

He also ordered local governments to absorb as many refugees as possible, record them in local household registrations, and gradually turn them into citizens of Daqian.

The current influx of population from the Western Regions is also a great help to Daqian.

Hearing what he said, Elder Song sighed and said:

"Your Majesty, this is different from before. If we open a loophole, people from the Western Regions will come endlessly."

"Besides, their origins are also very diverse. They come from various countries such as Tubo, Dayuezhi, and Uighur. When they gather together, they are not united and are difficult to manage."

What Elder Song said is indeed a problem.

The people from the Western Regions are different from other people who flowed into Daqian.

They fled there on a large scale in a short period of time, in huge numbers and from different sources.

The key point is that if Qin Ming does not stop them, they can bring all their relatives and friends with them. If they cannot control the situation, they will drain all the people in the Western Regions in one breath.

Even if the Datong Sect ruled the Western Regions in the future, it would be a lone commander. Although the territory looked large, there were only a few people.

"That's a problem."

"Let Qiancai select a group of people and set standards. Those with education, wealth, and skills can stay."

Daqian’s household registration has become a hot commodity.

Everyone knows that there would definitely be no suffering from war in the past.

If you are lucky, you can even find a job in a factory and earn enough money to settle down in a few years.

After becoming the ray of hope in their hearts, it is understandable that Qin Ming raised his standards accordingly.

You can't just let people pass by so easily.

By then, the quality will be uneven, which will be harmful rather than beneficial to Daqian.

Soon, Qin Ming's order was sent to the court via telegram.

Chen Shimao notified the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of Works and called Qian Cai and Wu Shizhong over.

"This is a letter from His Majesty. Please take a look."

"I have God, three hundred thousand refugees?"

After reading it, Qian Cai was shocked.

Wu Shizhong's face showed a mixture of worry and joy.

Having a lot of people is both a good thing and a bad thing.

With 300,000 refugees coming to Daqian, there must be some people who can be used.

But there are also bad apples.

How to screen is a difficult problem.

At this time, Qian Cai clapped his hands and said:

"How about this? I'll set a standard and classify them into different groups. For example, if they have property, I'll classify them based on the amount of property they have. Those with higher levels can be relocated to the central region, while those with lower levels can be registered locally."

“And technology…”

He quickly planned a series of ways to obtain household registration in Daqian.

But Chen Shimao said earnestly:

"Those who can meet these unique conditions, even at the lowest level, are only one in a hundred. With 300,000 refugees, do you think there are only a few thousand left?"

"Are the others going to be sent back? They can't stabilize the situation."

After the teacher's reminder, Qian Cai, who had been talking incessantly, suddenly fell silent.

"Yeah... this is a troublesome thing."

Just when he had a headache, Wu Shizhong suddenly said:

"Leave the rest to the Ministry of Works. Minister Chen summoned me today, so he must have come up with a solution."

"good."

Chen Shimao looked at Wu Shizhong with satisfaction.
