Chapter 342 Active Migration

In fact, Ulutus is not a person who pays attention to the show. This can be seen from the fact that the local government did not create a crowd of people when visiting Jeju and Busan in a private manner. However, the Shandong province is different. This is the only territory that is not connected to the land of Ming Dynasty so far, and it can also be called an enclave.

Moreover, it connects the Song State to the south, borders the Jin State to the west, and connects to the local forces in Hebei who surrendered to the Khanate. Only the sea in the east is facing the territory of the Ming State. Once it falls into a state of war, the Ming State can only provide support from the sea.

This kind of support becomes particularly difficult in winter when snowy and frozen.

Therefore, as early as when the Shandong Province was taken over, the Ming Dynasty defined Shandong Province as a bridgehead for immigration. It only required a steady stream of people to use the special geographical location of Shandong Province to obtain a large number of immigrants from the Central Plains. Instead of carrying out large-scale immigration resettlement like the Ming Dynasty, let them reclaim wasteland and farm land, and try their best to develop the local people's livelihood economy.

Now, due to the refugee wave, the population of all prefectures and counties in Shandong Province has ushered in a surge in population, and the barren fields in the past have been successfully reclamated. But this special situation cannot be continued! With the Ming Dynasty consciously migrating people to the local area, fewer and fewer people willing to stay in Shandong will be.

After all, immigrants can obtain resettlement land several times higher than those of Shandong Province, as well as houses and oxen, which are particularly important production tools for farmers. In addition, the environment surrounding enemies on three sides of the Shandong Province is not stable. Although ordinary people do not understand the international trend, they still have the awareness of seeking profits and avoiding harm.

Staying away from places that are easily threatened like Shandong Province, and going to the Ming Dynasty, where safety is more guaranteed, is the most instinctive choice for ordinary people.

For such provinces with special significance, Ulutus naturally cannot come quietly. Moreover, this time he also brought a large group of followers to demonstrate the majesty and sense of existence of the country on the territory of Shandong.

Let these ordinary people who have no sense of belonging to the Ming Dynasty know that the land they live in has been deeply imprinted by the Ming Dynasty.

So when they got off the boat, under the leadership of Shandong Governor Wang Xuanling, tens of thousands of people shouted together to the mountain. The officials following Ulutus also looked at the Shandong officials and ordinary people who were welcoming them with various eyes.

Except for a few who have been to Shandong, most of the drivers have entered the commonly known Central Plains for the first time. In terms of humanistic style, it is actually not much different from the Ming Dynasty. It is just that the outfit and house construction are more traditional.

Ulutus was surrounded by the guards and protected inside, and there were three layers inside and three layers outside. Therefore, most ordinary people could not see Ulutus clearly, and at most they could only see the black hem.

Ge Jing saw more than ordinary people and could see his general figure. However, because he lowered his head and kowtowed, he did not dare to look at him too presumptuously.

When he arrived in front of Wang Xuanling and other officials and gentry, Ulutus took down the outer guards and said several steps away: "Get up."

Now, under the guidance of Wang Xuanling, everyone slowly got up from the ground. Suddenly, the friction of the clothes formed a tide of sound.

Immediately afterwards, Hunur took out the imperial edict that had been prepared long ago and read it in front of everyone.

First of all, we naturally praised the victory and customs of the Shandong Province, showing the importance of the Ulutus and even the imperial court to Shandong. Then we comforted the local people and announced that they would be exempted from grain tax for three years.

Today, the people who are welcome here can receive a gift from the king of the country - a copper yuan with a face value of one.

This intuitive benefit immediately ushered in greater cheers and mountain calls, and also made it a little more sincere.

Finally, he praised the officials of Shandong Province for their hard work in performing their duties and had no intention of provoking a riot for the immigration camp. He also announced that a batch of special funds would be allocated from the Ministry of Revenue to support the infrastructure construction of Shandong Province.

In this way, from top to bottom, almost all the benefits from the kings were gained.

I was already a little nervous and immediately became excited.

On the way to Dengzhou City, Ulutus asked Wang Xuanling to ride a carriage with him. Such a generous favor made Wang Xuanling excitedly thank him again.

"Wang Aiqing, what you did as a governor is reported to me by the founding minister. Although Wang Tongwen is a son of your Wang family and a distant relative of you, you have nothing to do with him in the case of corruption. The Inspectorate has also checked it. Therefore, you don't have to worry or restrain yourself. For a minister who is diligent in performing duties, I have no time to reward you, so how can I be willing to implicate innocent punishment!"

Wang Tongwen was the head of the Dengzhou immigration resettlement area before. After the corruption case broke out, he was imprisoned immediately. Because he was involved in the relationship between the Shandong rich family, the Wang family, there were many complaints within the court that impeached Wang Xuanling.

Therefore, Wang Xuanling was still feeling a little up and down when he came to welcome the car this time. When he was riding in the same car with Ulutus, he was so nervous that he felt so upset.

Ulutus saw his nervousness and took the initiative to comfort him.

After all, Wang Xuanling made contributions to the position of Shandong Governor. For example, after persuaded Yidu to open the city gate, and the Shandong Province was included in the rule of the Ming Dynasty, with his active efforts, he quickly helped the Ming Dynasty stabilize the situation in Shandong. At the fastest speed, Shandong eliminated the continued negative impact of the war.

Later, in terms of immigration, we also actively cooperated with the local government, which allowed the population of Ming Dynasty to continue to increase significantly.

"The country's lord is so kind that I am really ashamed of it. This time, this family has produced such a scum, which not only has a disgrace to the family tradition, but also has let down the country's lord's trust. It is really a big blame for death." Wang Xuanling said in shame, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow again.

Ulutus immediately asked Hunur to stop the other party and said, "No need to be too polite. Zalhuchi has always made decisions in accordance with the law and has clear rewards and punishments. He will never let a bad person go, nor will he accus a good person of wrong.

Although your Wang family has produced scum like Wang Tongwen, hasn’t it also produced a good official like you who has a good reputation? But your family traditions should be cured!"

"What the king taught is that after such humiliating family affairs, our family has decided to move all to the provinces of Jiangnan to help the court stabilize the place. The Li family, Sun family and Zhang family are already preparing to apply for immigration to the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

These mentioned families are all families involved in this corruption case. Obviously, they have already passed the qi in advance and hope to take the initiative to apply for "exile" in order to obtain pardon from Ulutus.

Compared with the empty Jiangnan province, the Ming Dynasty really needed the people to fill the population gap. The Wang family's proposal was really right for Ulutus' appetite.

"There is no need to apply to the Ministry of Civil Affairs. I have agreed to this matter. But when I immigrated to the Jiangnan Province, your Wang family will be resettled by the clan. There has never been a precedent for a family to be placed together in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."

This is also to avoid the influence of local clan forces in the grassroots rule of the Ming Dynasty, so the resettlement of clans of the same surname has always been mainly divided.

"I know this! Our family, the Li family, the Sun family, the Zhang family, etc., think it is appropriate to do so."

"Well! You are the loyal and kindness of the court. Those big clans that are hard to leave their hometowns really need to learn from you loyal and kindness. Just as I heard that there are still many vacancies in prefectures and counties in Jiangnan Province. If you have a few clan children with good knowledge, you can recommend them to me. After taking the exam, you can choose their talented people to fill the gap."
