Lord of Ming Dynasty

And with Treasure Island, the Huaxia Army developed another business route, transporting some commodities, porcelain, tea, raw silk, satin, salt, tobacco leaves, etc. from the Huaxia Army's territory to Treasure Island, and then transported away from Treasure Island to the mountains and forests to make Furniture or building a house will do.

The business in the Huaxia Army's internal market is also quite prosperous, and the commercial tax revenue is no less than the previous sea trade income, which has become another major source of the Huaxia Army's fiscal revenue.

Of course, Baodao is inseparable from the tourism industry. Zhang Qiang ordered the houses, castles, and camps where the Dutch, the Spaniards, the pirate Yan Sicheng, and Zheng Chenggong lived to be taken out to be repaired, and then the imperial examinations on the territory of the Chinese Army on the mainland The scholars all went to visit, and came back to write some thoughts and current affairs articles, which were published in the mansion newspaper developed by the Huaxia Army, which caused many local rich men who had become rich through the efforts of the past few years to go on vacation and travel.

It can be said that Zhang Qiang, who has seen countless time travels in later generations, can earn a lot of taxes for the Huaxia Army if he casually shakes out some money-making ideas.

Another advantage of Baodao is to send some elite soldiers to go deep into the mountains and learn to fight in the mountains, so as to lay the foundation for the next step to fight in Nanyang or Southeast Asia. It is customary that Zheng Chenggong's troops and manpower are limited, and they cannot be found and taken away. Therefore, the camps, villages, and tribes of these people have become places for elite soldiers to practice their skills.

In the following six months, thousands of elite soldiers were killed or injured, and a total of more than 1 original Gaoshan Shengfan aboriginals were killed and captured.

Of course, these people were sent to the hard labor camp and sent to the front line to die.

Uncivilized people can't communicate with them, they can only let them bleed with swords and guns, and exterminate their genocide.

Zhang Qiang, who dislikes the treatment of Indians by the later generations of Americans, has to adopt this effective method to solve the problem for China, so as not to leave it to future generations, and let future generations enjoy the malicious insults and slanders of some people , or even attack, making them always think about dividing Treasure Island and becoming an unstable factor in China. Zhang Qiang admires the American people's ruthlessness and ruthlessness, as well as their foresight. The integration policy of the Chinese nation is not good enough He is kind, he is not kind to future generations, leaving many loopholes that the enemy can easily exploit, and he always likes to repay grievances with kindness. There is a saying that is good, how can you repay virtue?

Chapter 561 Developing Treasure Island 2

Repaying resentment with virtue, why repay virtue?

The Chinese virtues we have had for 5000 years are actually not. When Confucius was talking to the students, his own life was actually not satisfactory. He was also born in poverty, so he would not ask such stupid questions. In fact, everyone Knowing the answer, it is because our feudal rulers wanted to meet the needs of a unified dynasty, and the scholars at that time wanted to prevent others from understanding their high-ranking articles, so they did not add punctuation marks, which made the latter scholars take the meaning out of context, and finally formed the such a culture.

But in the near Republic of China or our Celestial Dynasty, why not correct this kind of thing?

Who dares, Max said, we will become the new rulers, since we are rulers, who wants the people to resist themselves, so we don’t want to correct it, and Westerners don’t want you to correct it, but tell us that you believe in Buddhism Well, you see, there are stories about Shakyamuni feeding an eagle in the religions we believe in, how wonderful.

That is to say, when facing the rulers, the West and the East do not want people to resist, but when facing themselves, they want an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye, but we can't do it. What we hope is our descendants in the future Don't be so aggressive, because it is a crime to resist in our society. If you want to resist, just hand it over to the ruler for ruling. You give the ruler meat, and then the ruler punishes the person who beat you for you. In fact, the ruler Cut off your flesh, drink your blood, and then don't do things for you, because there are too many people in the East, one more of you is not too many, one less of you is not much.

As a result, Taizu said in the end that wherever there is oppression, there will be resistance, that is to say, the people will resist when they really can't bear it, and they usually follow the virtue of repaying complaints with virtue. In fact, the people are not stupid, but sometimes Fighting tit for tat in front of a powerful ruler will be severely suppressed, because your resistance will make the ruler lose face and dignity, and bad people bullying you will not affect their face and dignity, so this so-called virtue has been passed down , This is wrong, our education has not corrected these, just hope that everyone will sacrifice their own interests as the premise instead of resisting the interests of bad people.

Survival is the first priority of the Huaxia military nation. In order to survive, they should not resist the bad guys. As long as the bad guys don’t take their lives away, they will not resist. But when life is in danger, it is a bit pedantic to follow this virtue .

Another meaning of survival is to actively fight, fight and kill, and grab the benefits of others, so as to live a better life for yourself and survive better.

Those savages on Treasure Island are actually similar to animals. In order to survive, human beings drive and deprive animals of their lives, which is actually the ultimate practice of those who do not want to be a saint.

For the sake of the Huaxia Army, for the Huaxia, and for the stable survival of the descendants of the Han people, the Huaxia Army must eliminate them, or influence them, and let them become members of the Han people, otherwise they can only be removed and killed, just like the old man The way the United States killed the Indians made a hegemonic and great American country.

By the spring of 1660, Baodao had dispatched more than 100 detachments, mobilized 1 militia brigades, [-] garrison companies, [-] garrison battalions, and even dispatched field brigade cavalry scout battalions to help them deliver information and intercept the entrenched The Gaoshan savages in the mountains, and some immigrant tribes from the previous dynasties.

30 captives were mobilized in prison camps, 10 were captured in hard labor camps, 5000 captives died in the struggle against poor mountains and rivers, and 30 were hard labored. Finally, they occupied the beaches, past plains, plains, hills, hills, hills The fringe area, and some swampy areas, penetrated far behind the dense forest, formed more than 65 settlement villages on both sides of the river, 37 defensive camps, 200 exploration camps, and went deep into the high mountain area at an altitude of [-] meters.

More than 300 kilometers of winding mountain roads have been opened up. Although they are all gravel roads, the width is only four meters. More than 400 kilometers of six-meter-wide gravel roads have been opened for supplies, and 350 bridges have been built. Although they are all logs, planks, and vines The bundled original wooden bridges, while on the plains and beach areas, opened up huge residential areas, transferring a population of 350 million, 50 more than expected, and a year sooner than expected.

Among them, 35 were hard laborers, 65 captives, 150 million refugees from the northern war-torn areas and Nanming, 30 from border states, 15 from developed states, and 8 from core areas. .

Five large seaports, [-] small seaports, three large military ports, one medium-sized military port, and three temporary military ports have been built, of which three large-scale naval ports are in the west with a large population, one medium-sized seaport is in the east, and three The temporary military port is also in the east, opening up a river valley road between the east and west mountains, and communicating the east and west.

A county seat of 3 people was established in a relatively flat place with a lot of woodland and hills in the east. It became a place for land transfer and storage of supplies for the navy in the east. Half of the people in the county are the family members of the navy and the other half are stationed. There are only a few thousand family members and soldiers of the garrison regiment and field brigade musket and artillery battalion, and most of the people are businessmen.

It can be said that after more than half a year of infrastructure construction, things have been communicated, and the population has been completely moved to Treasure Island. The next step is to slowly evacuate the population deposited on the beach to the established settlements for pioneering and farming. will survive for generations.

Since Baozhong Mansion is the most developed, the shipyards there now manufacture some Chinese coastal fishing boats in addition to military use. With the development of the navy, some old pirates and old sailors in the navy can no longer keep up with the progress of the times They were forced to retire one after another, and each of them was issued a [-]-ton fishing boat. Nearly [-] retired old pirates will become fishermen on the southeast coast, the coast of Baodao, and the surrounding islands of Baodao.

The [-]-ton fishing boats issued are much larger than the awning boats, shrimp boats and other fishing boats they used before, and their ability to carry waves and sinks is much higher. They will have two identities, one is Huaxia The retired soldiers of the army and navy, one is the militia of the Huaxia army and navy, who will receive a retirement fee after retiring, while the militia will not pay the fee, and will also hand over [-]% of the monthly profits of the catch to the tax officer of the governor's office.

This one is to pay the cost of their boats until the debt is paid off, and then the fishermen need to pay [-]% of the catch every month, which is much less than [-]% of other fishermen's [-]% catch, this is their welfare , It is also a classic case of waste utilization by the Huaxia Army, because the southeast coast and the vicinity of Treasure Island are not peaceful, and there are sporadic new pirates from other places, as well as the peeping of the Thais and Westerners.

Their task is to monitor these people while fishing at sea, and then report to the intelligence personnel of the Civil Affairs Department through a certain method. Island military admiral.

It can be said that the Huaxia Army's defense against the enemy has greatly increased with the increase in power.

Chapter 562 Give the businessmen a solution

Due to the construction needs of Treasure Island and the transfer of a large number of people, the merchants on the territory of the Huaxia Army also flocked to them. Island, selling the goods to the Huaxia Army, although the price is a bit low, but the advantage is that the quantity is large, and there is still a free profit.

Since the Huaxia Army eliminated the landlords, gentry, and merchants in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the merchant franchise system was implemented. The big merchants have almost died out, and the influential merchant families or merchant alliances have almost died out. A small businessman and a small factory owner developed on the territory of the Huaxia Army with more than ten years of experience.

Make your business a century-old family business, a small and micro enterprise that reassures the people and is trusted by others. This is what the Huaxia Army called for after it opened up businessmen to do business. Merchants at the level of one million Chinese yuan have sprung up like mushrooms after rain.

Control first, then open up. This is Zhang Qiang’s practice learned from the later celestial dynasties. He was able to organize and eliminate some illegal businessmen from the Ming and Qing Dynasties step by step. Those businessmen colluded with officials and businessmen and penetrated each other. Moths, of course Zhang Qiang would not allow them to appear.

All these people, except those who voluntarily handed over their family property and then became small landlords themselves, survived some shrewd businessmen from big families with experience in changing dynasties. All big businessmen, officials and businessmen were sent to prison camps for labor reform went.

This is not a blow to China's military business. On the contrary, because these merchants colluded with the government, a lot of their money did not fall into the hands of the government, but fell into the hands of those officials and officials. The country produces any help, so eliminating them is the fundamental to bring China back to life.

Under the double blow of the Ministry of Supervision and the Ministry of Civil Affairs, the newly trained officials will be demoted, dismissed, or even thrown into prison for months, deprived of their entire lives in the imperial examinations, and re-evaluated even if they are not dedicated to their work, let alone corruption and bribery. The opportunity to be an official is better than killing them for the Chinese Han people who have been officials for thousands of years. Therefore, there are not too many people in the Huaxia Army, and it can only be said that they are relatively few.

Without the exploitation of these people, perhaps the government of the Huaxia Army is procrastinating and inefficient in handling things, but it also reduces a lot of trouble and exploitation for merchants and common people, and more money and profits can fall into their own hands for reproduction. Used to improve lives.

Therefore, the income of the Huaxia Army will not be affected much because of the severance of trade with the Taixi people, the Nanming Kingdom, and Japan. Science and technology, the matter of improving science and technology, is handled by one hand, and countless reward systems have been set up, so that the craftsmen and technicians of the 360 ​​lines can safely produce, learn, and improve their own craftsmanship. Army scientific progress.

Those who cook vegetables will invent better dishes, and the process of making horse-drawn carts will improve step by step. Different types of carts have appeared, with the load ranging from two to three hundred catties at the beginning to five or six tons later. The original wooden wheels were later wrapped with a layer of water canvas, which was stuffed with cotton and linen. The rags and round iron spokes of the cart load wheels not only relieved the pressure, but also made the cart have a higher load-bearing capacity and a faster speed. quick.

All kinds of tricks and ingenious things emerged one after another. Even some court officials of the Nanming Kingdom who had taken refuge here and lived an ordinary life were amazed at the high creativity of the people of the Huaxia Army. Basic necessities.

The government organizes a large-scale trading market, and ordinary small businessmen gather to support the business in one place, creating more tax revenue for the country than there were only one or two large gentry family businesses before.

With the accumulation of ten years, some small businessmen have assets of more than one million Huaxia Yuan. After the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Huaxia Army reported to the cabinet, the cabinet passed various regulations to encourage business, and then supported some small businessmen who were loyal to the Huaxia Army to become medium-sized Merchants, divide some government-managed trading markets into several small trading markets, hand them over to these medium-sized businessmen to control and contract, and then connect various counties, towns, and state capitals, and connect these businessmen in series to form a state trading center .

The state capital trading center is composed of the state capital's special yamen association and the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Yamen, which gather several well-known medium-sized businessmen to set up a board of directors to jointly manage the state capital trading center. Finally, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce makes overall arrangements to manage commercial activities on the Huaxia Army's territory.

The construction and development of Treasure Island this time is led by the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the materials are supported by the state government. The profits are distributed to medium-sized businessmen, and the medium-sized businessmen subcontract to various small businessmen. Everyone makes a fortune together. There are more than a dozen places for medium-sized merchants in counties, and once the small merchants who have made a lot of contributions have enough contribution value, they will be upgraded to medium-sized merchants.

Select small businessmen who are willing to settle in Baodao and carry out commercial development in Baodao from all sites. The assets must be more than [-] Huaxia Yuan. Then, after this time, the loss will be compensated, and one year later, he will be supported to become a million A medium-sized businessman at the Huaxia Yuan level.

As a result, many small businessmen ran from the inland areas of the Huaxia Army to the coastal areas to dig gold. Some small businessmen directly moved their families to the beach of Baodao to rent houses and open shops. With the support, he became a medium-sized businessman in Baodao.

This is an attempt. After the attempt, the development and construction of the newly occupied area will be handed over to these merchants. The Huaxia military government will coordinate and compensate for it, and reduce the cost of maintenance and construction of a place. With officials, militiamen, and garrison battalions, a place can be quickly stabilized, digested, and made into a place that supports the Huaxia Army, and the Huaxia Army officials will withdraw to deal with a larger situation.

For example, the battle with the Qing army, strategic layout, such as how to deal with more and more officials from the Nanming Kingdom and the Yongli Daming Kingdom who have defected to the Qing Dynasty, and even officials from the Qing Dynasty.

Although the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of Supervision work hard, many things cannot be solved by inspection, supervision, and meticulous work. The Huaxia Army still needs more supervision, so Zhang Qiang is going to try to run the County Consultation Bureau in the next step. The leftovers gather together to study, and then let them play the role of county councilors. Their own people monitor their own people. There are always shortcomings. It is much better for them to complain about people close to them in private.

The county counseling bureau will start trial operation from the surrounding counties in the core area.

Chapter 563 Yang Yangyang's Embarrassment

"Chapter error, click here to report"

Yang Yangyang, the former guard commander of the Huaxia Rebel Army, as the Huaxia Rebel Army changed into the Huaxia Army, Yang Yangyang gradually got tired of the life of fighting and became a civil servant in the Governor's Mansion of the Huaxia Army.

However, due to his weak foundation before, Yang Yangyang's position became more and more awkward as more and more people with higher abilities than him entered the attendant's room and entered the ranks of civilian officials of the Huaxia Army.

After Zhou Congee became Prime Minister, Yang Yangyang took the opportunity to find a day to find him. Zhou Congee thought about it, and then transferred him to the newly restored Fuzhou Prefecture of Fujian Province to serve as a magistrate of a county.

After that, the civilian officials and generals of the Huaxia Army went through various changes. He was promoted from a county official to the master, and then transferred to other places to serve as an instructor in the new army camp, a civil official, and a county magistrate. The county magistrate of a large county, not to mention remarkable, is basically passable, just meeting the upgrade standard.
