After getting rid of these Chang Shi who wanted money, Xu Wei left Niu Gui, Xiangkai and Xu Juan in a small conference room.

When Niu Gui saw Xu Wei's serious expression, he asked sternly: "Is there anything difficult to discuss with us in governing?"
Xu Wei nodded, and then told them the current situation in Jiangnan: "It is easy to deal with these powerful noble families, but it is difficult to stabilize Jiangnan. Now I am a little bit cautious."
This is different from the Central Plains. There is a fierce conflict between the people of the Central Plains and the noble families. Xu Wei can naturally clean up the noble families mercilessly by standing on the side of the people. But now the situation in Jiangnan is much more complicated! To some extent
It is said that the wealthy nobles and the local people are all in the same group.
Xu Juan thought for a while and said: "Government can change the cage of a bird. Since the number of Han people cannot be reduced, we can find ways to move some people from other places. And the noble families in Jiangnan will drive them out even if they don't drive them to the desert."
Jiangnan, otherwise, our battle will be in vain!"
But Niu Gui immediately shook his head and said: "It's easy to say, this is the transfer of millions of people. The original transfer of immigrants from Yizhou has already swallowed up a lot of money from the imperial court. Now there is a project that is several times the amount, and the imperial court will go bankrupt immediately! Even if
If we want to relocate the noble families in the south of the Yangtze River, we must first deal with the wealthy noble families in Yizhou!"
Xiangkai, on the other hand, said: "These wealthy nobles dare not be our defeated generals. Liu Bei's 300,000-strong army was no match for us at the time, not to mention that now they don't even have an army, and they can't afford to defeat them even at the local level."
The waves are coming, and since the ruling party thinks that with their presence, Jiangnan can be stabilized, they might as well let them go and let them guard Jiangnan!"
In Xiangkai's view, the land in the south of the Yangtze River is only slightly better than the desert islands occupied by Daqian overseas. It is not even as good as the Xiliang and Desert occupied by Daqian. There is not much difference between being in such a barbaric land and being exiled.
And Daqian's national policy is to exile noble families to enrich the frontiers, so don't waste your energy on controlling them and let them suppress the Southern Barbarians in Jiangnan!
When Xiangkai said this, Niu Gui and Xu Juan also suddenly realized that there were more officials in the Han Dynasty who wanted to go to Xiliang than to Jiangnan. So they said: "Yes, to govern! What is the difference between Jiangnan and the desert of the Western Regions? They were originally in
It’s a barren land, why should we continue to take care of it and let them fend for themselves?”
But Xu Wei said: "Jiangnan has great development potential, even greater than Liaodong, Hebei and the Central Plains. It is completely different from the deserts of the Western Regions. As long as our Daqian invests in Jiangnan, Jiangnan will become the economic center of our Daqian in the future, and I will
The next step is to develop Jiangnan, and even plan to establish a southern capital in Danyang County to coordinate the development of Jiangnan!"
After hearing Xu Wei's words, everyone became serious. Xiangkai and the others would not doubt Xu Wei's construction capabilities. When Xu Wei said he wanted to develop Liaodong, everyone did not believe that there was anything good to develop in a wild land like Liaodong.
Yes, but now Liaodong has become the hometown of soybeans, and Liaodong soybeans are spread throughout the entire Daqian land.
Soybean oil has been reduced in price from a luxury product to an expensive daily necessities. Now it has entered thousands of households. The reason why ordinary people accepted soybean oil so quickly is because everyone found that if they eat too much soybean oil, they can eat less food.
One-third, the high price of soybean oil is offsetting the reduction of grain, and everyone even makes a little profit!
Yizhou was originally an overseas desert island that had not been visited for thousands of years, but the ruler said that it was a wealthy place, and sent Bao Xin to lead thousands of people to occupy it, and then in the second year they produced something like brown sugar.
As a precious commodity, Yizhou can now earn billions of dollars a year, and the price of brown sugar has also changed from a luxury product to a daily commodity.
There are also the gold mines on the Japanese island, the spice islands in the south, etc. The rulers seem to be innately aware of where there is wealth, so they have no doubts about Xu Wei's ability to develop it.
And now that Xu Wei said that Jiangnan's potential exceeded that of Hebei and the Central Plains, they naturally believed it immediately! And in their hearts, Jiangnan's level was raised by three levels!
Niu Gui said with a serious face: "Since Jiangnan is so important, we cannot allow the wealthy nobles to stay in Jiangnan. Instead, we must clean them up! At the same time, we must send our confidants to develop Jiangnan!"
Niu Gui is not a pedantic person. He knows that there is no room for relaxation between Da Qian and the powerful nobles, so naturally he will not let them occupy such an important place!
Xu Juan said: "Didn't you just say that the imperial court has no money?"
Niu Gui said seriously: "Everyone in power said that Jiangnan has great potential. It won't be long before the money earned from Jiangnan will be enough to develop Jiangnan. Maybe Jiangnan can also support the imperial court! In this way, the initial investment will not be too big.
Already."
The original development of Yizhou began to pay back the money in the second year. Later, it supported the navy to continue to explore the sea and wait for the discovery of Spice Island. These two places can receive billions of dollars every year, just because there is such a large
With a rate of return, Niu Guicai is full of expectations for the development of Jiangnan!
Xiangkai asked: "Where do you want to immigrate to Jiangnan from when you are in power?"
Niu Gui immediately said: "Let each state in Daqian move 100,000 tribesmen to the south of the Yangtze River. This is a million people, which is enough to make up for the lack of noble families!"
Xu Juan immediately jumped up and said: "Youzhou is short of manpower everywhere now. If you still want to immigrate 100,000 people to Jiangnan, I tell you not to even think about it!"
The area of each household's farmland has been expanded, and with the continuous development of Youzhou's industry over the years, the entire Youzhou is extremely short of human resources. Every autumn, in order to harvest food, almost all factories in Youzhou have to stop working, and all workers go to the countryside to help themselves.
The family was harvesting grain, and the loss of tax revenue this month made Xu Juan heartbroken.
She originally felt that the population in Youzhou was too small, and she wanted to bring in some people from other places. Now Niu Gui wants to immigrate from Youzhou, but Xu Juan certainly doesn't agree!
At this time, Xiangkai said: "Although the prime minister's idea is good, people in the desert Hebei and the Central Plains can adapt to the climate in the south of the Yangtze River. Don't forget that typhoid fever has been constant in the south of the Yangtze River in recent years. If Zhang Zhongjing hadn't found a prescription for typhoid fever, and there were people in power
Plague prevention manual, but now more than half of the population in Jiangnan will die of typhoid fever."
Xu Juan immediately smiled and said: "Yes, how can we people in Youzhou adapt to the climate of Jiangnan? If we really want to immigrate, we should migrate to Xuzhou, Yuzhou and Sili and other places!"
Niu Gui's head hurt and he said, "You guys don't have any sense of the overall situation!"
But at this moment, a staff member knocked on the door and said: "In charge, a Jingzhou native named Zhang Ji wants to see you!"
