"But some people are not like this." Zhu Houzhao did not follow his father's words this time, but retorted bluntly: "Although I have met so many people, some are mediocre, some are greedy, and some are flattering.

I am a villain, but I believe that this Ming Dynasty will eventually have officials who serve the country and the people wholeheartedly. Although they are few, they are there."

"My words today and my trip tomorrow should serve as inspiration." When Zhu Houzhao said this, his face was unusually serious.

"I want the world to see that the prince of the Ming Dynasty is determined to forge ahead, has the courage to sweep the world, the magnanimity to overwhelm the world, and the ambition to shine forever!"

Zhu Houzhao said these words very resonantly: "If I want to prosper the Ming Dynasty and do things that have never been done before, naturally I have to take great measures that have never been done before. These refugees are where I set a precedent."

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao said what he said today and why he did what he did.

Will the scholar-bureaucrats criticize this?

The answer is simple, yes.

But Zhu Houzhao was not afraid.

There is no one who has achieved great things since ancient times without being criticized. When there are disputes in the world, you want to be king or even emperor. Why? Because of this, those people will join you. Otherwise, who will care about you if you are a grass-headed king?

This is what Zhu Houzhao wants to do now. Whether he wants to use this as a way to advance, or he is really willing to serve the country and the people, as long as he has talent and is willing to use it, there will be no problem.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son, feeling a little sour in his heart.

This son is so good. Being a father is a great pressure. This is how Zhu Youtang feels now.

Especially when the father is not yet old and still has great ambitions, if it were another emperor, Prince, you can do whatever you want, go back and stay quiet.

But Zhu Youtang was different. Looking at his son's resolute expression and listening to his son's heroic words, Zhu Youtang's heart was filled with pride and ambition. My son has such pride, how can I, a father, be willing to die after my son?

"My son is so proud." Zhu Youtang said with a smile, but then his face became serious again: "But, does the emperor have any ideas?"

This refugee issue has not been a small matter since ancient times, but a big matter. No dynasty can completely solve it. Even if it is solved, it will only be appeased and prevent these people from rebelling casually. Now my son's thoughts

and courage make you excited, but what you do depends on neither words nor pride.

"There is a way." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "Nothing else, it's just immigration."

Zhu Houzhao's words made Zhu Youtang angry.

Immigration to the mainland, to put it lightly, how can it be such a good thing? Who doesn’t know how difficult it is to immigrate to the mainland?

How many dynasties have done it, how many people have done it, but what is the result? Why did these people run away? Will they be willing to believe what the court says? Will they be willing to follow you to immigrate to Shibian?

Stop it.

"How to immigrate?" Zhu Youtang said expressionlessly: "Force them with troops?"

If his son dares to answer yes, Zhu Youtang will be prepared to take good care of his son. Because if that is the case, it proves that the thing that worries him most about his son has happened.

As the saying goes, a person always likes to do things in the way he is best at. What is his son best at? Everyone in the court knows that what his son is best at is fighting.

If his son uses troops to conquer, Zhu Youtang will tell his son that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

"Force them with troops?" Zhu Houzhao was stunned after hearing his father's words. When did his character become like this? Who said that being good at fighting must use a knife to solve problems?

Yes, using a knife to solve the problem is the simplest and fastest way. At least you can kill the person who caused the problem, then there will be no problem.

But what's the point? Has his character creation been such a failure? Or is there someone deliberately causing trouble? Zhu Houzhao drew circles in his heart.

"Father, that's a bad idea." Zhu Houzhao didn't care about it.

Whether it was made up by his father himself or someone read it in his ear, Zhu Houzhao was not worried. In the Ming Dynasty, no one could shake the crown prince's position unless he was killed. Let his father abolish it.

It is too difficult to stand up for others. After all, dad has no other sons.

"My minister believes that there are three strategies for immigration: upper, middle and lower." Zhu Houzhao looked confident: "This strategy is to force them with troops just mentioned."

"It's just that those people are refugees, they have no permanent property, they are refugees. They are in conflict with the government and the imperial court, so forcing them with troops will be counterproductive. This is a bad policy, and I will not take it." Zhu Houzhao looked calm.

He said that he knew how to convince his father, so he directly eliminated his father's worries.

After hearing his son's words, Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction. The worries in his heart disappeared, leaving only appreciation.

"Then what can I do?" Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao. After his worries were gone, Zhu Youtang was just curious.

"The central strategy of the minister is to lure them with benefits." Zhu Houzhao continued: "Refugees are very miserable. If it is not impossible to survive, no one is willing to leave their hometown and become a refugee. Although the northwest is bitterly cold, it is difficult to leave the homeland after all!"

Zhu Houzhao looked emotional: "So I am ready to clarify the administration of officials and develop industries, just like Liaodong."

"Build workshops, adopt a recruitment system in the northwest, allocate farmland among the people, and recruit people to work in factories." Zhu Houzhao said with a serious face: "Encourage businessmen to go out of the border and open up the Silk Road to the west."

Zhu Youtang looked at his son talking, and the expression on his face suddenly became wonderful. Is this the right strategy? It is obvious that his son wants to go to the northwest to engage in military reforms.

After finishing Liaodong, go to the northwest. After finishing the northwest, it will be Jizhou Xuanfu, right? By then, all the nine sides of the Ming Dynasty will be recruiting soldiers. Can the imperial court afford it?

"Tell me about the best solution!" Zhu Youtang coughed a few times, and the expression on his face was extremely exciting. He didn't want to discuss this issue with his son.

Zhu Houzhao looked at his father and felt helpless. What did his father think?

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care. He wasn't going to argue with his father about economic issues because it was meaningless.

Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao continued: "The best policy is naturally to be inspired by benevolence and righteousness. I am going to dispatch talented and learned officials in the court. For example, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and various ministries will ask them to go to Yunyang Mansion in person to serve as saints.

His virtue inspired the refugees, allowing them to respect the teachings of the saints and go to the borderlands."

"As long as one person brings back 30,000 to 50,000 immigrants and sends out a hundred or so officials, the immigration problem in Jingxiang will naturally be solved." Zhu Houzhao looked like he was shaking his head, with a proud smile on his face: "I think this is the case.
