Right now, Daqian is struggling in a harsh environment with constant natural disasters.
It's either a drought or a flood, or it's a locust plague or a snowstorm, and it's gradually becoming common for the earth dragon to turn over.
Each time, it would cause heavy losses to the local area, and the people's living and production conditions would be severely damaged.
During this process, the imperial court and the government were quite effective and did not sit back and watch the disaster spread.
But the problem is that the imperial court's own energy is limited and it is impossible to do everything.
Then, in many places, scenes of massive land annexation that only appeared in the middle and late dynasties occurred.
Ordinarily, if such a situation occurs, it will definitely cause instability in the region and even the world, and may even lead to rebellion.
Unfortunately, there are many internally displaced people in Daqian, but there are no rebels at all.
Whenever the natural disaster situation eases slightly, not only the situation in various places recovers quickly, but the number of refugees also decreases rapidly.
In some areas that were seriously affected by the disaster, the local people continued to stay and hold on, but there was still no trouble.
Of course, the talents trained by ethnology have gradually been tempered and can help with some auxiliary work, but that's about it.
The deductions in the novel are almost the same as the real ones. Everyone who has read or heard about it has doubted whether the previous Ming Dynasty really lasted for nearly three hundred years?
But elsewhere, the situation is quite different.
If they could not successfully break into the bustling Central Plains to plunder, they would not be able to avoid the word death. No matter what, they would die, so what else was there to say?
In order to give this man a glorious death, he gritted his teeth and took out a million taels of silver from his inner treasury to give the emperor a grand burial.
Nomadic tribes in the northwest and north suffered even more serious losses from natural disasters.
It won't work without adjustment. The power of the civil servant group has expanded too fast. Even today, I feel frightened.
On the contrary, today there seems to be an intention to win over the founding noble group and even partially strengthen the military power in their hands.
Damn it, you gathered so many refugees for no reason and organized them for training. What do you want to do, rebel?
But now, Jin Jin and the imperial court have almost turned a blind eye.
Even though Jia Rong is only a first-class general at the moment, when he goes to the sea, he will be a serious new Jigong, the kind recognized by the court.
All of this is naturally due to the trend of overseas exploration initiated by the Founding Group.
By the way, with the frequent occurrence of abnormal weather and natural disasters, things are not quiet over there at the border fortress.
At this time, Jia Rong secretly released the news about Shi Jian Yinshan, which immediately made the Founding Group go completely crazy.
It was also because Daqian suffered from continuous natural and man-made disasters and its heritage was seriously damaged that Jin Hechaotang would consider relenting, otherwise he would not even think about it in Taiping Guangjing.
The real size of the refugees is only about one to two million.
Instead of fighting for power and profit with the civil servant group in the court, it is better to establish a foundation overseas.
It is true that grain production has been severely reduced, and the population that can consume food is also rapidly decreasing.
Perhaps the first batch of outstanding female students made a good start. In short, the subsequent batches of outstanding female students are all very capable, and they are capable of helping Jia Rong.
As long as the imperial court and the present do not specifically target the founding noble group, they will still have room to deal with the bad situation.
Although Dagan's border troops were stronger and better equipped, they could not hold off the enemy without fear of death.
But, it didn’t happen here!
Aware of the important role of the Founding Group, we have adjusted our strategies in a timely manner.
Ahem, like most of the previous planning and designs, he just made a start, and left all the rest of the details to the female students.
In particular, when the new Jeju Island, which had been developed for almost ten years, became a political entity and paid tribute to the imperial court, and was successfully recognized and canonized by the imperial court, all the thoughtful founding noble families couldn't help it.
These guys are more difficult to deal with than the Founding Group.
Of course, there is no encouragement from Jia Rong of the Restless Mansion.
Of course, the reason why things went so smoothly was also the reason why Jia Rong was willing to invest.
In particular, after being recognized by the Central Plains court, the new Jigong can be passed down from generation to generation, regardless of whether the Central Plains court changes dynasties.
In particular, the wider the spread of the book "Farmland Water Conservancy" compiled and published by Ningfu Women's School in the capital, the stronger the ability of powerful local landowners to fight against natural disasters.
This allowed the order of the imperial court and local officials to withstand repeated blows, but it could still be maintained, leaving no opportunity for careerists to take advantage of it.
In order to avoid getting stuck with the court today, Jia Rong, the core boss of the Founding Group, naturally had to set a good example and open up all the joints.
Naturally, they knew the reason; the outer seas needed a large number of refugees to fill them.
Originally, according to the context of the story of Red Mansions, what follows is the current rhythm of ruthless rectification against the founding group.
At least, there are founding noble groups in the north of Daqian to help relieve the pressure. The nomadic tribes outside the Great Wall have to resist on their own and have to guard against sneak attacks from other tribes.
The coal mines in Jin Province, most of the fertile farmland in the Zhili region, several large business houses with the ability to trade all over the world, and shops and workshops in many towns in the north can absorb an astonishing number of laborers.
Speaking of which, I don’t know what’s going on. Whether it’s the four major Jinling families with the Jia family as the core, or the entire founding group, the male clansmen in recent decades have all been mediocre, but quite a few female clansmen are talented.
Quite impressive.
In areas where the power of the founding noble group is not weak, the situation is slightly better.
The Daqian Empire in the Central Plains is not the only one who is suffering from climate change.
In fact, Nima's Daqian has just entered a situation of constant natural and man-made disasters from a peaceful situation of a hundred years.
He competed with the large tribes on the southeast coast for the dominance of Japanese trade. After three years of continuous naval battles, the maritime power of the large tribes on the southeast coast was finally eliminated.
Because of this book, Jia Rong of the Ning Mansion encountered unprecedented strong impeachment attacks from the Yushitai and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, as if he were a heinous sinner, many of whom were not worthy of the common people's outrage.
But the situation is still under control!
The Founding Group not only recruits refugees to go overseas, they are also one of the most powerful interest groups in the north.
The living environment on the grassland is extremely harsh, and the catastrophe of genocide can occur at every turn. You can imagine the great pressure of survival.
A deductive novel "Three Hundred Years of the Ming Dynasty" is enough to make today's and the founding heroes feel heavy pressure.
Jia Rong not only spent a large amount of cash, but also gave Jin Jin a very effective idea, which could completely impress Jin Jin.
After getting the exact information, the investment in manpower and material resources was even greater.
That’s right, it’s similar in nature to a state-owned enterprise!
Nowadays, as if they have found a treasure, the Imperial Mansion is no longer regarded as a nursing home for the elderly eunuchs in the palace, but as a serious state-owned enterprise.
The foundation is still very strong, otherwise the government and yamen system would not be able to maintain it long ago.
If we were to follow the example of the gentry forces behind the civil service group and take advantage of the constant natural and man-made disasters to annex land and wreak havoc, would they be able to endure it today?
Some things are not difficult to understand, but the benefits are touching!
At this time, the interests of the outer sea clearly exceed the interests of the hinterland of Daqian, so the choice is easy to make.
How could the current Hechaotang allow the steppe aliens who have gone crazy to kill people enter the hinterland of the Central Plains?
Naturally, we can only desperately support the frontier fortress. The role of the Founding Group was immediately revealed, and we can still provide some military commanders and talents.
In addition, the government's work-for-relief program has been maintained, which means that the situation in the north has been relatively stable.
The fictional former Ming emperors in the story would die in mysterious circumstances as long as their thoughts and actions violated the core interests of the civil service group.
It’s funny to say that when the Founding Group focused most of its attention on offshore areas, it turned out to be the bedrock and ally that stabilizes local situations and curbs land annexation.
His idea was naturally not to come up with a big killer like a wool spinning machine, but a detailed plan and suggestions on how to better play the role of the Imperial Village.
Most of the refugees in the northern region were recruited by the Founding Group, and then trained for a period of time and sent directly to the outer seas by ship.
Things like getting typhoid from falling into the water or contracting erysipelas may seem so natural, but in fact they cannot withstand scrutiny.
However, if it is an area where the founding noble group and even the imperial village are not very powerful, even if the government yamen strictly orders to stop it, it cannot stop the greed of the local gentry.
In recent years, the number of refugees who have gone to overseas development through the hands of the Founding Group has exceeded one million.
As long as he doesn't do anything outrageous, there won't be any problems.
Although the imperial court only awarded a new vassal title to Jigong, it was enough to make the founding nobles whose ancestral titles had fallen into disgrace become jealous.
In particular, more and more fish are caught from the ocean, making up for the shortcomings caused by the reduction in staple food production.
Even if they don't leave the country's nobles, they will take the initiative to go to the sea to do their work.
Especially when the civil service group becomes completely bigger and the throne can be controlled secretly, it is really quite dazzling.
Some things have been done today. At least the situation in the Zhili area is not bad. With the Founding Group and Huangzhuang as the foundation, the weak local gentry forces have been completely suppressed.
In order to make Jin Jin relent, he took out a huge amount of three million taels of cash in one go. The purpose was to persuade Jin Jin and the court not to mess around.
Affected by special climate, grain production is inevitable, and it is also foreseeable that people will suffer heavy casualties due to natural and man-made disasters.
How many people are there in the entire north?
The number of people affected by natural and man-made disasters is certainly not less than millions, and may exceed tens of millions.
As long as the affected bustling towns are not completely destroyed, it will not take long for some of the bustling scenes to be restored.
This scene is really weird, but it actually happens.
As the old saying goes, people who leave their hometown become poorer, and this is no joke.
When he finally realized what he was doing, the emperor's body failed and he died.
But now that the local government system can still be maintained and the court can be considered in charge of affairs, the victims of the disaster who have some foundation in their families will not leave their hometown easily.
Awesome! Really awesome!
Jia Rong's position in Daqian also became somewhat detached.
In addition, there were frequent wars at the frontier, so naturally Jia Rong of the Ning Mansion had nothing to do.
However, such a strong backlash from the civil service group not only did not harm Jia Rong of Ning Mansion, but instead aroused strong suspicion today.
The reason why I am willing to spend a lot of money is to get a good start!
It is conceivable that the jealous and enthusiastic founders of the country will definitely follow suit in the future, using the overseas territories under their control to pay tribute to the imperial court, hoping to be rewarded by the imperial court.
The Founding Group recruited millions of people in one go, and the rest of the refugees were naturally easily accommodated. The production order in the north was not greatly affected and could still continue to operate.
But the problem is that the development of the Founding Group in overseas markets can be described as smooth sailing. It has invested a lot of materials and manpower. Naturally, if it has talents, it will be given priority to overseas areas.
The northwest and northern frontiers were suddenly filled with wolf smoke, shouts of killing, and earth-shattering cries.
Under normal circumstances, just by recruiting refugees on a large scale and conducting simple organizational training, it would probably arouse the special vigilance of today and the court.
How could the border army withstand such a desperate attack from the grassland tribal alliance?
With 300,000 troops spread across thousands of miles of frontier towns, we can't afford to risk each other's lives to consume each other.
As for the hinterland of Daqian, it is so lifeless, as long as the family's influence can be maintained.
Really, if it weren't for the annual income of the imperial court, it would still be stable at between 20 million and 32 million per year. In terms of local people's livelihood alone, Da Qian has reached his later years and there are signs that it is difficult to return.
Refugees who want to develop in offshore areas must undergo simple organizational training and have certain means of defense.
At this time, a tribal leader with outstanding influence and ability appeared on the grassland, and he directly formed a tribal alliance to attack Daqian crazily.
What really needs to be curbed should be the increasingly rampant land annexation in various places, taking advantage of natural and man-made disasters, and the rapidly expanding power of local tyrants, or the gentry group.
It can be said that by this time, Ning Mansion had completely separated itself from the circle of the founding noble group.
It is also funny to say that the emperors of the Central Plains often claimed to be rich all over the world, but the resources they could really control were part of the royal industry in the hands of internal servants.
Huangzhuang is the most special and, in Jia Rong's opinion, the most important industry!
As long as Huangzhuang can be fully utilized, apart from serving as a guarantee for people's livelihood, there will be no problem.
Even if the weather is abnormal, Huangzhuang's annual grain output is absolutely astronomical. If it is put into the market, it can easily suppress the high grain prices!
This is indeed the case. Today, just by following Jia Rong's suggestions, the grain prices in several provinces around Zhili in the north were easily suppressed in the first year.
If there had not been some internal problems within the royal family, I am afraid that many local gentry who were crazy about annexing land could have been bankrupted. It is not an exaggeration at all...
