Chapter 288 New Year is here
"Good, very good. Since the first base is already fine, let's choose the second base as soon as possible."
"What I mean is that the second base should be as close to Australia as possible so as to strengthen the connection with General Liu in the future." Ning Quan said after a moment of silence.
"Yes, I understand."
Zhou Yu said respectfully.
"Your Highness, do I have a mission?"
At this time, Li Jing asked with a fist clasped.
"Of course, and yours is the most important mission. The king intends to launch a military campaign against the Arabs. General Li, prepare for this."
"Once we have conquered Nanzhao, Goryeo, and other established targets, I will send troops to the Arab Empire."
Ning Quan said seriously.
"Yes." Li Jing said in a deep voice.
"Very good, everyone's tasks are clear, so let's carry them out." Ning Quan said.
"I obey your command." Everyone responded in unison.
"Okay, that's military affairs. Now let's discuss civil affairs!"
"Economic and civil matters are handled by the Prime Minister and others, so I don't need to worry about them. What we need to discuss now is immigration and naturalization, which is the key point."
"Those who are not of our race must be killed. This is an eternal truth. Therefore, whether it is the Xiongnu, Khitan, Tubo, Goryeo, or even Japan, we must carry out large-scale immigration and education."
"We must strive to give them ten years to integrate into the Central Plains and allow them to become Han Chinese. This is a matter of vital importance to our future safety. No one can be careless and must be extremely cautious."
Ning Quan said seriously.
"Yes!" everyone responded.
"Well, this matter is very complicated and involves many aspects, so everyone should think carefully about it during this period. We will have a meeting to discuss it after the 15th."
"I obey your command!" everyone responded again.
"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting." Ning Quan waved his hand and said with a smile.
"I'll take my leave!" Everyone stood up and left.
"Your Highness, news just came from the capital that His Majesty seems to be preparing to take action against Huainan." After everyone else left, Jia Xu said softly.
"Well, this is not surprising. After all, he doesn't have much time left." Ning Quan sighed.
"What do you mean, Your Highness?" Jia Xu hesitated.
"Don't worry about him for now. Huainan is thousands of miles away from us. Even if we want to intervene, it will be out of reach." Ning Quan shook his head.
"Yes, that's right. Your Highness, since we can't control Huainan, why don't we take over Jiannan County?" Jia Xu suggested.
"Yes, that's what I think too."
"Send more spies to Jiannan County to gather information so as to prepare for the future. Also, matters in Japan must not be neglected." Ning Quan ordered.
"Yes, Your Highness, don't worry." Jia Xu nodded in response.
......
Three days later, it was New Year’s Eve.
The gate of Ningquan Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful lanterns, and it was full of joy.
A grand family banquet was held at Ning Quan's residence.
Ning Quan, Li Jing, Zhuge Liang and others gathered together to celebrate the Spring Festival.
At the banquet, everyone was chatting and laughing, extremely happy, drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was lively.
"Haha, come on, let's drink to our heart's content."
Ning Quan picked up the wine glass and spoke loudly to everyone, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
"Haha, so happy."
Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses.
Afterwards, everyone clinked glasses, toasted each other, and ate and drank happily.
The family dinner lasted until midnight.
The next morning, Ning Quan also got up early and waited for the ministers to come and pay New Year's greetings.
Not long after, all the ministers came to pay New Year's greetings to Ning Quan.
"Greetings to Your Highness, I wish you good health in the new year." Li Jing was the first to congratulate Ning Quan.
"Your Highness, I wish you a happy new year."
The other ministers bowed and saluted.
"Haha, everyone, please stand up. Today is the first day of the new year, so don't be polite." Ning Quan said with a smile and raised his hand.
"Thank you, Your Highness!" everyone responded.
"Happy New Year, husband."
"Happy New Year, Daddy."
At this time, Li Wanyue and others also came with Ning Xueer and Ning Ping'an to pay New Year's greetings.
Of course, there is also Ning Xiner in Kim Hyo Joo's arms.
"Haha, good, Happy New Year to you too!"
Ning Quan looked at Li Wanyue and others happily.
It’s a great feeling to have a happy family together.
...........
For the next half month, Ning Quan spent his time with his children and wife, and discussed matters and chatted with his ministers.
During the meeting, we also discussed immigration and naturalization, and reached a general guideline.
As soon as the fifteenth day of the first lunar month passed, Ning Quan summoned civil and military officials to determine the final plan.
The plan is mainly divided into three parts: migration out, migration in, and education.
Ning Quan asked Huo Qubing, Bai Qi, and Yue Fei to relocate at least one-third of the population of the Xiongnu, Khitan, and Tubo to settle in Han areas within one year.
At the same time, 100,000 Han households were relocated from the three Anxi counties to the territories of the Xiongnu, Khitan, and Tubo to further increase the proportion of Han people.
Ning Quan believed that as long as the Han people and other ethnic groups continued to integrate, they would gradually merge into one and eventually achieve the goal of unification.
At the same time, Ning Quan will also send more teachers to educate the Xiongnu and other tribes, so that they can learn Chinese and understand Chinese culture.
There were also other arrangements, such as building new towns, teaching farming techniques to various tribes, etc., to encourage more tribes to settle down.
The same arrangement is made for Japan and Tamsui.
However, the immigrants going to Japan were recruited directly from the coastal counties rather than the three Anxi counties.
After all, the three Anxi counties are too far away, and recruiting from coastal counties is closer.
And now there is no worry about not being able to recruit people. As long as we give the people land and provide them with a year's worth of food, there will be plenty of people willing to rush to join us.
As for the Nanyang strongholds, including Australia, people from coastal counties will be recruited later.
Of course, for countries like Southeast Asia, forget about naturalizing them in the short term.
Given the population base in Southeast Asia, it would take decades to deal with it.
It would be more reasonable for Ning Quan to occupy Southeast Asia first.
Now that the plan has been approved, let’s just follow it.
On the second day, which was the 16th day of the first lunar month, Ning Quan sent Huo Qubing and others back to their respective places.
In the next month, Huo Qubing and others began to step up preparations, on the one hand preparing for immigration, and on the other hand preparing to launch an attack on Nanzhao and other countries.
As soon as spring comes and the weather gets warmer, they will launch their attack.
After sending Huo Qubing and the others away, Ning Quan then sent Aruna and Ning Xueer back to Loulan.
Ning Quan brought Aruna here before the Spring Festival, and now that the Spring Festival is over, it's time for her to go back.
Ning Xueer has been in Xizhou for more than half a year, and it is time for her to go back with her mother.
After all, she will inherit the throne of Loulan in the future and cannot always stay in Xizhou.
After returning from Loulan, Ning Quan began to prepare for traveling to America.
The American continent is now a blank slate, with only a small number of indigenous people on the vast continent. Ning Quan had long wanted to take it for himself, but he had never found the time.
Of course, Ning Quan couldn't go now. All he could do now was to make preparations in advance and continue to send more Han soldiers to Tamsui.
Of course, soldiers are needed to go to America, and the number cannot be small.
It takes soldiers three or four months to travel from Anxi to Danshui, so it is necessary to send soldiers to Danshui in batches in advance.
Once the war with Nanzhao and other countries is over, he can set off immediately.
