After discussing the matter in Manila, Wang Wenhui's subsequent report made people feel nervous.

"King, everyone", Wang Wenhui bowed to Nikan and bowed to everyone, "The Ming Dynasty has been indescribable in recent years."

"In recent years, it was probably from the tenth year of Chongzhen. According to the Western algorithm, it was 1637. There were severe droughts for several consecutive years. Shanxi, Shaanxi, Jingxi, Henan, and Shandong were all suffering major disasters."

"That's not all. I wonder if you have realized that the temperature in recent years has been much lower than in previous years. Winter is colder and longer. In the forest, people in the northern desert are used to being bitter and cold. There is no feeling that the temperature is slightly lowered, but it is very important for people in the Central Plains."

"According to the regular reports of the eyeliner in the Central Plains, last year, the Yangtze River and Huai River were frozen for the first time!"

"The severe drought has led to a significant reduction in grain production. In addition to the severe winter, the number of people fleeing has increased significantly, starving to death and freezing death is endless."

Sun Xiujie stood up, and like Wang Wenhui, he also gave Nikan a salute, and then said, "Go."

At the end of the year, Changchun City was finally built. It was originally a ranch for Korqin people near Changchun, but now that it is in the hands of Hanhai Kingdom, I can no longer think about the same operation as before. Dahan, the meaning of the officials, is it necessary to open up some farmland near Changchun and Jilin..."

Nikan waved his hand, "Although the land north of Changchun is also a vast and vast plain, there are no big rivers. Although there are many small rivers, if you want to open up a large amount of fertile fields, you must dig the ponds and dredge the river channels. But now the domestic staff is limited. If you want to develop this place as soon as possible, you still have to have a large population."

Sun Xiujie said: "This is what Xiaguan said. The conditions around Changchun are better than those in the south of the mountain. Now the northern border of the Ming Dynasty is hungry and cold, why not..."

Nikan nodded, "Just discussing this matter with you, but in the Ming Dynasty today, there is still one major event besides famine and severe cold. This is also the reason why Ben Khan temporarily closed Shannan and Chahar immigration channel. Wenhui, you continue to say it."

"Yes, Khan. Since last year, according to the report from the eyeliner, a terrible plague has almost swept the northern border of the Ming Dynasty, with its impacts including Shaanxi, Shaanxi, Jingji, Henan, and Shandong. This battle seems to have started in the sixth year of Chongzhen, and it has occurred intermittently and repeatedly since last year, and has begun to spread on and on a large scale."

"It was based on this that the Khan ordered the closure of the immigration channels in the above two places. At this time," said Wang Wenhui's eyes seemed to have faint tears, "In the hometown of Xiaguan, in the small village of Tongzhou, about 30% of people died of famine, 30% of people froze to death, and 30% of people were lying at home waiting to die under the plague..."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, especially Sun Xiujie and Sun Jiaji, both of whom were from the Ming Dynasty, and immediately felt empathy. Although the others had no deep understanding, they were also shocked.

"Everyone", Nikan was in a state of unpreparedness. As a later generation, he naturally knew that the three major disasters in the late Ming Dynasty, cold, hunger and plague almost caused the Ming Dynasty north of the Yellow River to fall into an unprepared state. In particular, the latter continued to rush until the Qing soldiers entered the pass before they could barely stabilize.

In other words, the Ming army and Dashun army were affected by severe plague at that time, but the Qing army was affected very little due to the isolation of Shanhaiguan, and finally picked peaches easily.

Time is also fate, no one can tell.

In this case, it is naturally not a wise move to accept immigration, but it is not something Nikan is willing to see if he lets the disaster rob you.

"A few days ago, I received a letter of help from Yang Wenyue, the governor of Denglai, asking us to help the food and grass and take away the refugees. Haha, these Ming people don't know who said that the country's territory was good weather and peaceful, and most of them were Han people. In eastern Henan and southern Beijing, refugees from the entire Shandong have flocked to Dengzhou. Now, Shandong Governor Yan Jizu and Denglai Governor Yang Wenyue are all in a state of turmoil. After writing to Beijing, they only received 300,000 yuan from the emperor's treasury."

"Haha, 300,000 taels of silver, now there is a shortage of food. How much can I buy this little silver? I heard that there is still a lot of food in Jiangnan. Why not just ask Nanzhili for help and then release the maritime ban, and everything will be solved."

Sun Xiujie felt a little nervous, "Khan, you don't know the virtues of the imperial court. Not to mention the release of the sea ban, now on both sides of the Grand Canal, in addition to Shandong, there is probably a large warehouse of the Ministry of Revenue in the Huai Si area north of the Yangtze River. There are so many grains, but you can't reach the capital. You can't help but do it, and do it just by waking up to you."

"Bang!" Nikan slapped Gao Ji hard again and stood up again. Everyone knew that he had made a decision again, so they stood up.

"Everyone, although Ben Khan was born in the forest, he finally had the blood of the Han family. How could he watch his compatriots suffer? Ben Khan decided"

"Yang Wenyue has agreed in his letter that we can choose any place to accept refugees on the coast of Denglai for turnover. Of course, in order to be on guard against us, they eliminated Dengzhou. Ben Khan thought for a long time and decided to agree with his suggestion."

“Put the turnover location here”

At this time, Wang Wenhui and Yang Tingdong worked together to hang up a large map, and the bamboo pole in Nikan pointed to a place.

"Zhifu Island!"

"The port of Zhifu Island is in good condition and is not frozen. It is just a little frosty in winter and can be stayed all year round."

"But refugees who have already developed symptoms cannot be placed here. Not far southeast of Neizhifu Island, there is a small island called Kongtong Island. It is not large in area, less than a thousand acres, and it is just used to isolate patients who have already developed symptoms."

Sun Xiujie interrupted: "Khan thought twice, what if these people come too many and spread us too?"

Nikan waved his hand: "This time the Ming government came to us, but we would never do it. Even if they were starved to death, they would not give it to us, but in the past, refugees from Shaanxi and Shanxi all came out secretly. The opportunity was rare. I must seize it. Besides, we are not without a complete solution. Wang Wenhui, tell me."

"Yes, Dahan. First of all, they are divided into several categories, old, young, and women and children, roughly divided into three categories. According to Dahan's meaning, young, strong and strong body may be able to survive epidemics. Old, elderly, women and children have poor health, so they can only leave their fate."

"If the three types of people have symptoms, they will be transferred to Kongtong Island immediately. After we arrived at Zhifu Island, we immediately started the construction of the isolation base. According to the meaning of Dahan, we will build multiple layers of simple wooden houses in multiple places. Once refugees enter, they are not allowed to walk at will. Food, vegetables, oil and salt are prepared by our country."

"Once a new patient appears in a certain house, the whole house will be sent to Kongtong Island immediately."

"The meaning of sweating is that plagues like this can be cured by non-drugs, but if you eat well, sleep well, and then prescribe some medicines to clear heat and detoxify and strengthen your body."

"The focus is on Zhifu Island. Kongtong Island lets them eat and drink well. Next, it depends on God's expression."

"In this way, if the population of a certain house has no symptoms in one month, you can take our big boat to set off first, first go to Jeju Island and observe for half a month, and then appear asymptomatically and then send it to the inland, which is near Changchun."

"Cough cough," Sun Xiujie said, "The Khan's benevolent and righteous actions can be seen by the sun and the moon, but the following officials are foolish. It is better not to choose the elderly, women and children for the time being. Just choose the young and strong ones alone. I don't think Lord Yang will have any objections. Now that I am in Denglai, the Shandong government is in a state of turmoil and under great pressure. If there are fewer refugees, they will burn the incense..."

"No!" Nikan walked to the middle of the hall again. At this time, he was looking out through the window. There was a pear tree in the yard. It was originally dead, but new buds grew from the roots in the past few days. "Old man, women and children can come out, there must be support from young and strong people. If the elderly and women and children are abandoned, even if the young and strong people are willing to follow us, they will eventually lay a knot in their hearts in the future."

He suddenly turned around and said word by word to everyone: "All people have grown up from childhood, all their parents have their old age, and the saint said, "Respect the elderly and the elderly of others, and the young of others." Since you want to take them in, you must not pull them."

"What's more, we have made comprehensive plans. The elderly, women, children, young and strong live separately to avoid the possibility of mutual contagion. We have greatly protected the young and strong, and the food supply is incomplete. With bacon-solid medicine, we are in order to ensure that they can survive on themselves."

"As for Kongtong Island, it is delicious and delicious. It's as much as you can survive."

Wang Wenhui continued: "The refugees gathered in Shandong this time are afraid of a million people. However, whether it is Zhifu Island or Kongtong Island, the number of people they can absorb is limited. The Ministry of Justice has calculated that Zhifu Island can accommodate 30,000 people, Kongtong Island can accommodate 10,000 people, and then squeezed, up to 50,000 people."

"The remaining refugees still need to be relieved on the spot, and our country can only provide some food."

"Considering that refugees may rush to Chifu Island at that time, a thousand cavalry from Jeju Island will be drawn to maintain order there. Of course, we will also build a wall at the narrowest part of Chifu Island from the mainland to prevent refugees from entering at will, and set up military camps outside the walls, and cavalry patrol everywhere to prevent fish that leaked the net."

"Everyone", Wang Wenhui's eyes showed a few rays of light at this time: "For this, Dashen took out 30% of the grain in the regular warehouse, and there were also a lot of medicinal materials, wood, pots, pans, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, etc., so I didn't say anything in detail. With the exchange and transportation, half of the grain in the regular warehouse will be consumed. Fortunately, the gas is warm today, otherwise winter clothes will be prepared."

"It's okay," Nikan took over the conversation, "There are probably only 60% to 70% of these million refugees who can walk to Zhifu Island alive. Among them, 60% to 70% will be completely cured in one month. In this way, at most 50% of the population can reach the Hanhai Country safely."

"If you die from illness on the way to the sea, you may have to remove 10% again. By the way, Jiaji, Ben Khan asked you to clean all the ships. How did you do the rat killing?"

Sun Jiaji stepped forward and replied: "It was completed on the way back to Vladivostok. Now there are five cats on each ship, and the mice cannot be kept."

Nikan nodded, "This way, in order to communicate the news as soon as possible, you ask one of the Swifts to go to Dengzhou as soon as possible to inform Yang Wenyue, and the other one goes south to Luzon according to the original plan!"
Chapter completed!
