My Daming New Empire

From late April, Oe Ichiro first halved the rations of all the population, and then prepared to send a group of samurai to return home in a small boat.Zuodu Island is only fifty or sixty miles away from Xinxie in the mainland. If you are lucky, you can row the boat back in a day or two.

But this time, the Ming people showed their fangs.As soon as the ship left the pier to go out to sea, a shell sank the small boat. Only half of the more than 40 people on board floated back to the island on the boards, and the remaining half drowned or were buried in the belly of fish.

At this time, Oe Ichiro really despaired.

More than 3000 people are on the island, without food, and no one can organize resistance.

When all the food was eaten up, they had no choice but to accept the terms of the Daming people and donated all their gold and silver in exchange for food.

But this time, the people of Daming had already figured out the gold production on the island, and everyone had to work hard every day to get enough food to fill their stomachs.

Moreover, these grains were first opened by Oe Ichiro and the samurai, and later became direct exchange for everyone.

Of course those warriors disdain to work, they started to rob the rations of civilians and prisoners, but when a few people were taken as a model and shot dead by Ming people, they got scared.

Losing their privileges, those warriors had to start working in the mines, otherwise, even they would have to starve.

Looking at the gloomy sea, Oe Ichiro couldn't help fantasizing that Dongying's battleship could appear in front of him.

(The electricity was cut for a day, and I wrote it when the call came in at night, so it is a bit late, sorry. I will continue to write the next chapter.)

Thank you for the meat buns that are a little salty, see people with lights, super cowardly hairball, less tears, book friend 160707214010519, thank you for your reward, thank you for your support

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

On May 500th, Oe Ichiro finally saw the arrival of a fleet on the clear sea after the rain.However, this is not a battleship from Dongpu, but a battleship from Ming Dynasty, and a team of [-] people got off the ship.

These people shaved their hair like the Japanese warriors, but no matter from their faces or clothing, it could be seen that they were not Japanese.

The well-informed Oe Ichiro recognized these as the Ainu and Jurchens from the north.

They quickly took over the management of the island and asked everyone to stop mining and reorganize.Any Japanese who disobeyed the order were directly killed by these brutal and fierce Jurchens, and were hung on the flagpole, and the skulls of the Japanese were used to make wine vessels.

There were simple shacks on the island, but these places were obviously not enough to live in, so immediately, everyone started cutting logs to build houses.

But the number of houses built seems to be a bit too much...

The best houses were built of logs, with thick walls to withstand the wind and snow in winter.

There are a large number of medium-sized houses, which are similar to the original houses on the island. They are all built with wooden boards and straw grass, and can also shelter from wind and rain.

The simplest houses are diwozi one by one, but there is a roof on top of the diwozi to keep out the rain.

At the end of May, when the houses were all built, a larger fleet sailed over, and more Japanese people got off the ship, and these people brought with them the General’s Mansion in Kyoto, which had been occupied by Ming. The generals were all killed, and now all the nobles and warriors who did not escape into the mountains were obedient to Ming Dynasty.

The general's mansion of Ashikaga Yoshichi has long been burned down, and the current general of Dongying has become his younger brother Ashikaga Yoshihiro.And Ashikaga Yoshichi and the emperor fled into the mountains in restraint and are fighting against Daming for the final time.

Oe Ichiro couldn't accept this fact, but the familiar warriors in front of him would not deceive him.

That night, he faced Kyoto and committed suicide by caesarean section.

The fleet not only transported more than 1000 laborers, but also transported more than 1 women, plus the [-] Jurchens and the Ming Fleet of more than [-] people, the island has more than [-] people.

Originally all the weapons of the samurai were confiscated as early as the beginning of May, and everyone was given a pickaxe and a basket.

A few more original stone mills were brought in, enough for the people on the island to sift gold.

There are not many Daming people on the island, and they all live in the newly built community in the port area, and there are heavily armed Jurchen guards.

These Ming people are responsible for daily production statistics, and are also responsible for receiving explosives from the ship every day, and then using explosives to mine.

The number of people mining has tripled, and now with explosives, productivity has increased more than fivefold.

Originally, the gold output was less than 50 taels per day, and the rest was copper ore and silver ore. Now even all the copper ore was refined by the Ming people on the spot.

Almost every day, there are Japanese people who are executed by the Jurchens for being disobedient. After a month like this, everyone is honest.

Daming people have always been very civilized. Except for the first hundred beautiful women who were selected to live in the port area, the remaining four hundred or so women were all arranged on the island.

Although the management has become stricter, the treatment of the people of Ming Dynasty to the people of Dongying has improved.In addition to food, the island also began to sell clothes and drinks. With five days' wages, you can also enjoy the service of young and beautiful women.

Three years, this is the service time of the original miners on the island, as long as they work hard for three years, they will be free.

But those warriors had to work for five years before they could be free.The last batch of samurai and civilian husbands who were sent over were all the defeated ones, and they would need to work for ten years before they could regain their freedom.

According to different contributions, each person can get different treatment. The system is determined by Da Ming, but the management and suppression are in charge of the five hundred Jurchens.

In a month's time, this place has become an orderly construction site.

The entire Zuodu Island has become a large natural prison, a natural mine.Without boats and weapons, even though their number is five times larger than that of Daming people and Jurchens combined, they can only work honestly.

As for the more than 1000 Ming soldiers, their main task was not to supervise the Treasure Island, but to ensure the safety of transportation from Daming to Nuer Gandusi.

When the eyes returned from Zuodu Island in June to Daming in May, the most sensational thing this month was the booty brought back from Japan by His Royal Highness Taisun.

Before this, no one could have imagined that in just one month, Taisun transported so much gold, silver and supplies from Dongying, as well as the ship full of antiques.

Even Zhu Di had never seen so much gold and silver at one time. He asked people to put these gold and silver on the square outside Chengtianmen, and sent heavy soldiers to protect them, but he allowed all the Ming people to watch from a close distance.

This is actually Zhu Zhanji's idea. He just wants to use these gold and silver as bait to attract the attention of everyone in Daming to areas outside of Daming.

Whether it is trade, starting mining, or aggression, as long as it can stimulate the exploration of the people of Ming Dynasty, it is worthwhile to do so.

Zhu Di didn't support this plan at first, but when so much gold and silver was placed in front of him, he couldn't help but be moved.

Everyone thought that Daming was a kingdom of heaven, and everyone thought that Daming was rich in products.But in just one month, Zhu Zhanji scavenged so much wealth from Dongying, which made everyone reflect on whether he is a frog at the bottom of a well?

Of course, these gold and silver are nothing to Daming. The annual tax of Daming is calculated based on gold and silver, which exceeds 2000 million taels of silver.

The sum of these gold and silver is only more than one-fifth of the annual tax of Ming Dynasty.

However, this is the grandson's harvest in just one month!

In today's Daming, the harvest of one mu of land does not exceed five taels of silver a year, and the family has a thousand mu of fertile land, and the harvest is less than 300 taels of silver.

But if you start a workshop and make an iron pot, you can exchange four coins with the internal supervisor in just a few days, and you can keep your income in drought and flood.

Building [-] iron pots a year will earn far more money than farming, and anyone can calculate this amount.

The power of capital is extremely powerful, no matter what era it is in.

Even though Daming now has strict household registration management and the circulation of personnel is inconvenient, the outlets of internal supervisors and Jinyiwei all over the country have become the best publicity channels.

You don’t need to go out of the county, you don’t need to go out of the state, as long as you can spin cloth, as long as you can make silk, as long as you can forge iron, all things can be exchanged for silver dollars at the outlets of the inner prison.

After a month of fermentation and publicity, even villagers in remote prefectures know that there are countless gold and silver mountains overseas, and that as long as they spin cloth in their spare time, they can exchange money with the internal prison.

Of course, this kind of propaganda has also been resisted by countless businessmen and civil officials, because the internal supervisor is now robbing countless businesses of their jobs, and the civil servants are opposed, mainly because they are afraid that profit-seeking thoughts will destroy the stable social atmosphere.
