Before dawn the next day, Yunxi had already woken up.
"This year has been the fifth year of Jianye, and I am one year older and already 26 years old. Time passes really fast. In the blink of an eye, it went from October to the twelfth lunar month, and from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month."
"But it was okay last year. I went to war with Annan and was about to control this country, and let his territory, resources and population contribute to the Ming Dynasty. I was one step closer to my goal. This year,..." He lay on the bed and muttered to himself
road.
While he was muttering, Xiyi suddenly turned over to face him, opened her eyes but said half asleep: "I heard someone talking in my sleep just now, and I knew it must be my husband muttering something again. Like this
My husband won’t sleep a little longer on those days.”
"Husband, I can't sleep. I have something to do today. You were very tired last night and went to bed late. Please sleep a little longer." Yunxi responded.
"Well, I'm still sleepy." After Xiyi said this, she closed her eyes again and continued to sleep.
Yunxi stood up from the bed, tucked Xiyi into bed, walked slowly outside, called for the eunuchs and maids to come in and dress him, and at the same time told Wang Xi: "Go and get Hu Yan, Chen Ji, Yang Renhe and
Qian Minglin called."
Wang Xi agreed, turned around and left.
Yunxi got dressed, walked out of the dormitory, and called Li Sha'er, who was already up, to have breakfast with her. After the breakfast was finished, he and Li Sha'er joked a little more, left the backyard and went to the study in the front yard.
When he arrived at the study, Hu Yan and others were already waiting inside. When they saw him walking in, they all bowed and saluted; Yunxi waved his hand to excuse them.
Then he sat in his seat and first said to Hu Yan: "Have you seen the draft that Wang Xi wrote down yesterday?"
"Your Majesty, I have read the draft of the prince." Hu Yan replied.
"You can immediately draft an imperial edict based on the draft and show it to me after you've finished it," Yunxi said.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Hu Yan agreed. Seeing that Yun He had no other instructions, he picked up the draft and went to the next room to draft the decree.
Yunxi turned around and said to Yang Ren: "Immediately send an order to count the population of Hakka people in the five prefectures in the east and north of Guangdong Province, Chaozhou, Huizhou, Guangzhou, Shaozhou, and Nanxiong. They account for 10% of the local people."
Proportion of the total population.”
"Your Majesty, what is going on..." Yang Ren raised his head and had some guesses about Yun Hei's order.
Of course Yunxi would not answer, but just ordered: "If the county is dominated by Hakka people, count the number of households with native people."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Yang Ren bowed and agreed without raising any further questions.
"Your Majesty, do you want to move the Hakka people to different places to avoid the fights between the natives?" Chen Ji asked directly: "But Your Majesty, it is natural to avoid the fights between the natives. But these Hakkas have been multiplying in the local area for at least hundreds of years.
They are already locals, and if they are forcibly relocated, they may cause a civil unrest."
A few days ago, Yunxi set out from Leizhou Prefecture, first went northwest to Lianzhou Prefecture, entered Nanning Prefecture in Guangxi, and returned to Guangzhou Prefecture via Liuzhou Prefecture, Xunzhou Prefecture, Wuzhou Prefecture, and Zhaoqing Prefecture.
Among them, there are already many Hakkas in Guangzhou Prefecture. When Chen Ji followed Yunxi on his patrol, he witnessed the locals and Hakkas fighting more than once. Although they would avoid the team with the official flag passing by, they would not even stop.
Stop and continue fighting the person on the opposite side. Both sides hold a variety of weapons in their hands, including the bladed weapons that are important in "The Law of the Ming Dynasty".
Chen Ji could not imagine such a thing at all. When he heard Yang Ren and others introduce it in the city before, he thought it was exaggerating, but when he actually saw it, he realized that Yang Ren was just describing the facts.
Therefore, he supported the separation of the natives and the Hakkas. However, because of the serious fighting between them, they were all very united. Relocating them hastily might lead to civil unrest. Besides, there must be a reasonable excuse for relocating people on such a scale, and this excuse is not
Easy to find.
"A temporary civil upheaval is better than hundreds of years of continuous bloodshed!" Yunxi said: "If they are unwilling to migrate, threaten them and say that they will transfer guardsmen from other places to assist the majority of the local people.
The people slaughtered them and forced them to migrate."
"I will move them to Taiwan, Annan, Luzon, Luofan, Sufan, Pufan and other places respectively. No, there are already many Fujian natives living in Taiwan now, so we will not move them to Taiwan."
"During the migration process, we must try our best to disrupt the original villages and rearrange them in the new place. We must not let them reunite according to their accents and blood ties."
"As for an excuse to move them, I already have one. Although it is a bit far-fetched, it is better than nothing."
"I will also issue an order prohibiting Luzon and other vassals from accepting people from Min and Yue provinces at will. They must identify the original local immigrants as belonging to the same lineage before accepting them. In case they haven't fought with the barbarians yet, fight first.
You have to live and die."
Since Yunxi had already decided, the officials present were not people far away in the capital who had no idea about this, so they had no objections to His Majesty's decision and all bowed and agreed.
After deciding the matter, Yunxi did not let Yang Ren step down immediately and let him sit down and rest. He turned to Qian Minglin and said: "Qian Aiqing, several criminals in the witchcraft case, and the captured Samar.
Are the Han spies still in prison? No one died of illness or committed suicide, right?"
"Your Majesty, no one among Wu De and other prisoners has committed suicide or died of illness. I ask Master Wudang Zhang to tell them that he has cast magic power in the prison, and the soul, or so-called soul, of any prisoner who died in the prison will not
Go where they want to go, but they will fall into his hands."
"These prisoners all have a beautiful fantasy about the world after death. Among them, Tianfang believers seem to be able to commit suicide wantonly in heaven, and are extremely afraid that their souls will fall into the hands of Zhenren Zhang. Therefore, no one committed suicide, and several people became extremely ill when they got sick.
I strongly requested medical treatment and the disease was cured quickly," Qian Minglin said.
Yunxi couldn't laugh or cry at Qian Minglin's methods. However, a black cat or a white cat is a good cat when it catches mice. What's more, these criminals are either foreign spies who infiltrated the Ming Dynasty or traitors of their own country. The case has not been made public, so he will not treat Qian Minglin.
Minglin scolded harshly.
But it was impossible for him to praise. After all, this was not in line with the mainstream of society. So Yunxi did not comment on this and directly ordered: "Starting from the tenth day of the first lunar month, we will slowly release information about the witchcraft case. Today's news,
A piece of news tomorrow will always attract the attention of the people, and by the end of the first year, almost all the news will be spread."
"At that time, I will order another public trial, and we will follow the method of the birth-cutting case. Let the people fully know the ins and outs of this matter, including what the Kingdom of Samarkand did in it."
