Yesterday, Zhu Youlang received a urgent message from the Western Regions.

The urgent report was issued by Li Dingguo, but it was not a victory, but a letter of Chen.

In his report, Li Dingguo proposed that he hoped to immigrate to the Western Regions on a large scale in the name of the court.

The reason Li Dingguo gave a lot of money. With just 200,000 troops stationed in the Western Regions, he might be able to shake the barbarians for a while, but once the main force of this army grows old, the barbarians will immediately make a comeback, as if they are rekindled.

Only by constantly immigrating the Han family to the Western Regions and taking root there can we really have dominance.

In other words, hasn’t the imperial court changed its territory and returned to the southwest?

No unified dynasty can allow the chieftains to continue hereditary and unswervingly. Isn’t that the so-called country among the country?

That is why the three major battles of Wanli were attacked by Yang Yinglong.

The situation in the Western Regions is even more difficult now.

After all, the Western Regions have been ruled by foreign races for hundreds of years, and Han culture has almost no influence in the Western Regions for hundreds of years.

This showed a large fault.

It is not possible to repair the fault in a year or two.

It may take more than ten years, decades or even hundreds of years.

This will take several generations or even dozens of generations to complete.

In other words, the effect of large-scale immigration to the Western Regions would not have appeared at that time, but this is a matter that benefits the present and future generations.

Of course, this requires the court to make a great decision. After all, things like Huguang and Sichuan require a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources. If it weren't for making up their minds, it would be basically difficult to do so.

Now Li Dingguo has proposed a plan and put the problem in front of Zhu Youlang.

How to make a decision depends on Zhu Youlang. After all, he is the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and no one can make a decision on his behalf.

Instinct tells Zhu Youlang that large-scale immigration to the Western Regions is definitely more beneficial than disadvantages.

It’s just that the immigrants who may have gone to the Western Regions to cultivate are reluctant.

After all, the Han family has a strong rural complex in their bones and is easily unwilling to leave their hometown.

The furthest place many people have been to in their lives is the county town, and some people have never even been to the county town.

All of a sudden, they traveled thousands of miles to places they were completely unfamiliar with. As the court, they should always give some benefits and sweetness.

After all, only if these people are at ease and are willing to continue in the Western Regions, can this policy be implemented.

Policies are policies, and if they want to implement them, they still cannot be separated from human implementation.

Zhu Youlang immediately summoned Zhang Huangyan.

As the chief minister of the Yongli Dynasty today, Zhang Huangyan played an important role in Zhu Youlang's mind.

Many major policy policies were proposed by Zhang Huangyan. Some were proposed by Zhu Youlang himself, and Zhang Huangyan was rich and perfected.

In short, Zhu Youlang was already used to having Zhang Huangyan share his worries.

Soon Zhang Huangyan was summoned to the palace and met the saint in the Qianqing Palace.

After arriving at the warm-up pavilion, Zhang Huangyan immediately bowed and bowed.

This is also the privilege Zhu Youlang gave him.

After all, Zhang Huangyan can be said to be the veteran among the civil servants who followed Zhu Youlang in the northern expedition. In addition to Wen Anzhi, who was already old, he could not walk, he was the oldest.

Zhu Youlang wanted to set an example of respecting the wise and the subordinates and being harmonious with the monarch and his subjects, so he naturally had to choose Zhang Huangyan.

"Give a seat to Mr. Zhang."

Zhu Youlang pointed lightly and signaled.

Han Miao immediately ordered a small eunuch to bring Jindun to the middle of the warmer pavilion.

"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

Zhang Huangyan said very reservedly.

"Haha, Zhang Qing doesn't have to be restrained. You are an old minister who has been with me for many years."

Zhu Youlang paused and said, "I came to you today for an important matter. The King of Jin just ordered people from the Western Regions to send a report. You can take a look."

As soon as Zhu Youlang finished speaking, Han Miao carried the memorial to Zhang Huangyan on a tray.

Zhang Huangyan took the report on the tray and opened it to read it, nodding frequently while watching.

"Miao Ce, King Jin is really a wonderful plan."

He was happy and did not forget to praise Zhu Youlang: "Actually, I have always had this idea, but I didn't say it. This time, the King of Jin could say everything I wanted to say."

"It seems that Mr. Zhang also supports large-scale immigration to the Western Regions?"

Zhu Youlang's eyes lit up.

"Report to your Majesty, in my opinion, it is beneficial to immigrate to the Western Regions in a large amount of money, without any harm. After all, the Western Regions are the key to whether the Silk Road can be smooth. Whether our Ming Dynasty can achieve the arrival of all countries depends on whether the Western Regions can hold it in their hands."

Zhang Huangyan said passionately, but Zhu Youlang didn't sound as excited as he thought.

Although Zhang Huangyan is excellent, he does not exceed the cognition of this era.

In fact, Zhu Youlang's idea of ​​developing the Western Regions was not because he wanted all countries to come to the court, but because he hoped that Eastern and Western cultures could communicate in a very harmonious environment.

"Since that's the case, I'll make up my mind."

Zhu Youlang paused and said, "Let's draw the order, and then draw the people from the provincial governments and prefectures to immigrate to the Western Regions. As for the policy, it will be exempted from tax for five to ten years."

Zhang Huangyan was shocked when he heard this.

Generally speaking, exemption of agricultural tax was the greatest concession given by the court.

Generally, it is tax-free for one year, and it is already the best for those who can be tax-free for three years.

As for the ten-year duty-free period... it is something that I can't even think about.

Zhang Huangyan hurriedly bowed and said, "Your Majesty loves the people as much as his son, which is a blessing for all people and a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

"Haha, when will Mr. Zhang flatter him?"

Zhu Youlang stroked his beard and smiled, "Haha, but I was indeed very comfortable to be photographed."

Zhang Huangyan was a straight minister, and it was indeed a bit beyond Zhu Youlang's expectations for being able to say such words.

"In fact, as long as the Western Regions can be stabilized and fully Chineseized through decades, then this large-scale immigration is worth it."

This is what Zhu Youlang said in his heart and his expectations.

Zhu Youlang talked jokingly: "I will never ask for anything else in my life, I just hope that the country will be prosperous and the people will be safe. I hope that with the assistance of Mr. Zhang, all this can be achieved as soon as possible."

Zhang Huangyan was very excited and proud.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. Even if I do my best, I will be fooled by your Majesty. Your Majesty is a wise king who is rare in a century. People in more than a hundred years will definitely scramble to praise this prosperous era."

Prosperity? It sounds really good and very attractive.

Zhu Youlang couldn't help but have full expectations for the future.

The so-called reputations before and after life are nothing more than merits.

Specifically, it is civil and military achievements.

Zhu Youlang has done too many things in his life, and he only hopes that in the future, he will be proud of his descendants when they mention the Yongli Dynasty, just like people mention the rule of Wenjing and Zhenguan.

Although there is a beautification element in this, isn’t it a so-called prosperous era to ensure that people are not starved to death in this era?
