You can patrol + pillage the provinces with a very low population and something like a gold mine. Once everyone is dead, HUZZAH!, you can jack up the taxes to 200% without incident. You'll double the gold mine income without any unrest.

Thanks! I was thinking of being the benevolent god to try to save them via migration and for a higher long term profit, but I do need to experiment with pillaging.
