The purpose of finding Xu Pengju in silence is to reassure him on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is to Luzon.
The Luzon incident always makes silence worry. If the value there cannot be quickly discovered, "the interests of more people will be rooted there, and it will always be an overseas enclave, which will be snatched back at any time because it is not deep in its roots and has no power to succeed.
But if the people of the Ming Dynasty look to the distant South China Sea and pay attention to the Luzon Islands, which they think are a barbaric land, is not attractive enough. So where is the competitiveness of the Luzon Islands? First of all, it is a port. It is the most important relay station on the route of the Ming Dynasty, Spain, and the only big port. "Its significance can almost be compared with Malacca's Western route.
However, if it is a port alone, the attraction is not enough, because the control of the waterway requires a ship and a cannon to hope for it. Therefore, except for Wang, Xu and Nan, ordinary large households cannot even think about it. If gold or silver ore can be discovered, the problem will become simple. At present, several gold, silver and copper ore have been discovered in the Luzon Archipelago, but they are all occupied by local Chinese companies first, and the output is not as expected... Luzon Chinese are the targets of protection for silent and strict orders, so how can they let people share their pie?
He could only focus on the planting industry like the Spaniards in another time and space... The Luzon Islands are located in the subtropical zone, with sufficient light and rain, and are very suitable for planting various crops. According to the report Zheng Ruozon who traveled the Luzon Islands for half a year, he could divide the entire Luzon Island into nine economic areas. Among them, the largest central plain in the central area, accounting for one-quarter of the arable land in the entire area, suitable for planting various crops such as rice, mulberry, sugar cane: the southeast of Luzon Island "coconuts and mulberry trees can be planted; the north of Luzon Island is rice, tobacco, gold mining areas; the west of Mishapo Islands is rice and coconut areas; the central Mishapo Islands is corn and sugar-producing areas; the eastern Mishapo Islands is coconut and corn area. In the report, Zheng Ruo emphasized this new crop originating from the Spanish introduced by the South America, and believed that it had great potential.
There is also the eastern part of Mindanao, which is the hemp, coconut, and iron mine area: the western part of Mindanao is the jade, corn, and coconut area: the Palawan Island and the Sulu Islands are the rice cultivation areas.
Through this classification, it is not difficult to see the purpose of silence. He wanted to use large areas of arable land in Luzon to plant the economic crops needed by the Ming Dynasty, making it an urgently needed production materials and living materials in China. Although the Ming Dynasty has a large area of ​​land and abundant resources, in recent years, the north has severe droughts in recent years, and although the south is still in good weather, due to the development of the commodity economy, a large amount of arable land is eroded by economic crops, which is a real erosion, because it has been converted into mulberry gardens for feeding silkworms. This has led to a large reduction in the area of ​​arable land. There is no harm at present, but in the long run, it will inevitably bring about a serious food crisis.
Chen Si did not want to make forced adjustments in China, because on the one hand, the execution of local governments this year is not optimistic at all. The court has arranged ten points, so it would be good to be able to do one point below. It is simply unrealistic to expect them to complete such difficult actions.
On the other hand, he did not want to offend the owners of the big manors and cause unnecessary chaos, which would be very dangerous.
His response "is to make full use of Luzon's land and set up a planned large plantation there to reduce the pressure on domestic supply... All this is controlled and carried out through the Nanyang Company. Specifically, the Nanyang Company conducts preliminary investigations and developments, and then contracts the land suitable for cultivation to large families and large merchants in the form of protecting and reclamation, and conducts planned reclamation under the guidance of Nanyang Company. The company provides protection, support and transports it to designated ports, with the income of 30,700 or paid as agreed.
The reason why Nanyang Company does not operate a plantation in person may benefit more. However, considering that, firstly, plantations are an industry that requires a large amount of labor, it is difficult for Nanyang Company to recruit enough personnel. A mere company cannot blatantly trafficking in China. It is better to leave this challenging task to the powerful. Secondly, he hopes that Nanyang Company will always maintain its pioneering ambitions, so at the beginning of its establishment, it adopts this model of protecting and reclamation, so in order to increase profits, it has to continuously explore new land.
, Land makes people conservative and short-sighted," this is what Silence has emphasized to Zheng Ruo many times.
The benefits of handing over the plantation to domestic nobles and wealthy families is also obvious. Shouguang's strong political power will provide sufficient protection for Luzon and Nanyang companies; then, the tedious work of recruiting people, organizing planting, and connecting sales can be handed over to them, and the Nanyang company can be freed from it and focus its energy on what it should be done: in the end, it will also help cultivate the extroversion of the domestic elite class and gradually eliminate its exclusion and ignorance from abroad.
It is not easy to achieve the last point, and it is also the biggest obstacle to realizing the plan. The advertisement for the cultivation of Luzon has been continuously put on major newspapers in the southeast. There are many people going to the various offices of Nanyang Company to inquire, but there are very few who have signed the intention. Most people are in a wait-and-see state. After all, the plantations thousands of miles away are "feeling panic no matter how you hear it."
So silence needs someone to demonstrate first. He selected more than a dozen large households in the southeast and ordered each of them to subscribe to a plantation of 100,000 hectares." And Xu Pengju, because he was a dignified Duke, silence gave him preferential treatment, so it was 150,000 hectares. As for how they did it, the Nanyang Company had the most detailed guidance, but the premise was that they should first bring their representatives to Luzon.
One "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one" "one"
"Everything is difficult at the beginning," said silently to Xu Pengju, who looked bitter and bitter: "You are difficult and I am difficult." We all reluctantly make things difficult. Persisting in the first few years is to build a foundation for future generations that will not be exchanged."
"Do you really make money?" Although Xu Pengju looked a little stupid, he was not confused at all. He knew that this was a big deal and could not do it just because he was silent and forced to buy and sell. Once he really decided to do it, he had to do his best." Otherwise, it would be better not to agree directly.
"Sand Garden can be born in silk, tobacco leaves can produce shreds, and sugar cane can produce sugar." Chen Si counted to him with his fingers: "Everyone is more expensive than gold."
"Okay, even if the land is fertile and the climate is suitable, gold can grow in the ground." Xu Pengju looked at me seriously and said in silence: "But these require a lot of labor to take care of them, take the Sang Garden, which is the least occupied. "As he said, "I asked someone," a person can take care of up to 30 acres of land, so the 150,000 hectares you give me will take care of them. "Brother, where can I find these people?"
"I'll give you 150,000 hectares, not just let you race alone," said silently, "You can continue to subcontract, no one can control this."
"But there is always someone to grow it, right?" Xu Pengju shook his head.
"There are three sources", Chen Si said softly: "First" there are indigenous people on the island, so it is not a problem to solve the problem of more than 100,000 yuan: Then there are some famine refugees in the north," Chen Si said lightly: "It depends on whether you have the ability to take it over."
"This method is OK to recruit tens of thousands of people, but if I dare to abduct so many people," Xu Pengju shook his head and said, "The iron coupon of the alchemy book cannot keep my head."
"I will do my best to help the court dispel this doubt, and there is another way..." Silently said in a low voice: "The Franji people are doing slave trading. They arrest Kunlun slaves and sell them all over the world... Because of distance, the price to sell to us is very cheap" and there are as many as possible.
"Ah, I'm afraid there's something to discuss." Xu Pengju was moved and his eyes flashed. Although the Ming Dynasty has always had a trading population, it is limited to a small amount of household use. If it is purchased on a large scale, it will be criticized.
"What are you afraid of?" Silently smiled and said, "Who can watch what is happening thousands of miles overseas? Who will care about it if you are not my race?" He said with a cold look: "Besides, I will enjoy the infinite benefits at that time, and the guards will only ignore it."
"That's good." Xu Pengju thought about it and then thought, "I'll try planting tens of thousands of acres first!" As he said that, he smiled and said, "Look at my breath, planting tens of thousands of acres first." He was not afraid of flashing his tongue."
"Hahaha", Chen Shu laughed and said, "What you want is this grandness!"
一,一“一“一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一,一“一,一凵一,一“一,一“一“一“一“一,一“一“一,一”
After Xu Pengju's family came out and sat in the sedan chair, his silent face turned pale. "He clenched his fist with his right hand and beat his heart." Even breathing was very difficult. In recent times, he has tortured himself countless times. What is the difference between doing this and the infamous East India Company series? In the history books a hundred years later, "I am afraid that I will be infamous for thousands of years...
However, he had no other way. If he wanted those self-confidant men in China to look overseas and be willing to expand there, he would have to take care of everything for them like a nanny... and his wisdom was limited. Although he wanted to try his best to avoid the brutal and cruel Western colonization methods, he still walked on their way. He had to admit that "there is no more suitable method to allow the colony to develop production smoothly."
But silence also has a bottom line. He does not want his compatriots to be victims... It can be foreseeable that the mortality rate in the early stage of reclamation will be very high. Even if labor force is transferred from the north, he also hopes that this time can be as late as possible, because the later the conditions there will be, the better the "possibility of living a good life will be greater.
He didn't know whether this was considered self-paralyzing, because he knew very well that as long as the reclaiming in Nanyang continued smoothly, a huge interest group would inevitably rise, and its behavior was not controlled by anyone. Pandora's box had been opened. Is it a destructive devil released or a bloody road of life? He didn't know. He could only do his best to do his best and leave his destiny with a nervous mood.
This step is too risky and too sinful, but he is really unwilling to accept it if he doesn't take this step.
Maybe God sent me to the land of China five hundred years ago, so I could take this step. Even if I was infamous behind me, I would have no regrets...
"Sir, I'm back home, and the idle people are waiting to avoid it quickly!" Silence is underway to build psychologically." Then he heard someone talking outside, and then the sedan chair fell flat, and he also returned to the appearance of Gujing Bubo.
Then he heard a silver bell-like voice saying, "If you don't let us see, how can you tell me if I'm our uncle?" He heard the guards scolding him again.
I felt strange in silence, so when the sedan chair entered the mansion, I opened the curtain and looked out, and looked at a pretty girl with a petite figure and bright ethnic costume.
The girl also saw him, "Just jumped up excitedly" and waved: "Uncle, are you my uncle?"
Chen Chen frowned slightly, thinking who this is? Looking at the few men wearing navy blue clothes beside her, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind: "Zhuang clan..., countless past events suddenly surged into her heart." In a trance, she was carried into the mansion by the sedan chair.
Seeing that the door of the mansion was slowly closed, the pushing outside stopped. The guards in the mansion drove out the uninvited guests and said, "Go away quickly, otherwise you will be arrested!" A man with a black cloth and sun-like man said to the beautiful girl: "Master, let's go back and find a way."
The girl's face was full of disappointment, she bit her lower lip tightly, nodded and said, "Let's go back." Then, under the escort of her tribe, she wanted to turn around and leave.
Unexpectedly, the door of the mansion opened again, and a tall guard came out from inside and said, "Stay away." The girl stood up and looked back at him pretty. Her eyes seemed to be able to speak. "I asked him what he wanted.
"Where do you come from?" the guard asked in a deep voice.
"We are from Tianzhou, Guangxi," the girl's guard leader replied on her behalf: "My master is the real sister of Tianzhou Tusi. Come to pay a visit to the great official." "Do you know my uncle?" the guard asked.
"There was a friendship..." The leader said halfway, and the girl snatched the words and said, "Tell me uncle, Aman has come to see him. If I don't see me, I will go back." "It's indeed Miss Aman." The guard changed his expression and said sideways: "Please come in..."
One “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one” one “one
The charming girl in front of her "has a goose-like face, a healthy crescent white complexion, a pair of big eyes as bright as a morning star, and two shallow dimples always smile, making people happy from the bottom of her heart when she sees it. She is wearing a deerskin hat covered with rabbit fur, and two strings of fine red jade chains hanging on the edge of the hat. The red jade shines brightly in the sun," which makes her hair shine brightly on both sides.
Her upper body was a light green short collar with colorful edges embroidered with colored edges, revealing a piece of white neck, "a silver collar, short sleeves," and a short lower lapel, which was very different from the Central Plains. She was tied with brocade belts around her waist, and a long pleated skirt with red thread on her lower body, revealing a pair of embroidered shoes embroidered with colored butterflies. So many colors were worn by women in the Central Plains, and she was probably going to become a huā sister, but on this girl, she only felt the beauty of youth, as if she just stood there, even the air became vibrant.
Gradually, gradually, in Shen Mo's mind, her image finally connected to the cute little girl with baby fat...
, This time you invited me to have grilled fish, I want to treat you to something, and say, what do you want to eat, right? "Baked bird, grilled frog, grilled fish, grilled shrimp, grilled yellow thorns, grilled fish, grilled snails, grilled loach..." We are friends, right?" We have to go back and ask grandma first..." Then what are your names?" He has to ask grandma before he can say. "What do I call you?" Ah Shu..."
"Aman", looked at her silently and said, "Is it really you? You have become a big girl."
"Well, it's Aman." The girl nodded and said crisply: "Uncle, you have grown a beard too."
"Haha...", silently twisted his beard and smiled: "I have been reincarnation for twelve years, and my uncle is in his thirties. How can I not grow a beard?"
"Aman has grown up too..." Aman looked at the silent. Somehow, when she saw her thoughts about it day and night, Uncle Silent. The little girl couldn't find the familiar feeling she had at the beginning. She only felt that the bearded uncle opposite her, "although she had a very nice smile, she was even more majestic than the magistrate, and people dared not get close to her.
After a moment of silence, Chen Silent asked softly: "How did you live these years? I, as an uncle, are so incompetent."
"My grandma took me back to Tianzhou and died of illness soon." When talking about herself, Aman was less cute and stupid, and fell into memories: "My ten-year-old brother inherited his official position on his birthday. Under the care of the elders in the clan, his life was carefree." "Later," asked silently.
