The Red House starts from Liaodong

The sea trade in Jeju Island is very successful.

The luxury items in Jinling were not only sold out, but businessmen from all over the world were scrambling to place orders for next year to the Yamen of Jeju Island.

Lee Sung-hyun from Jeju Island also laughed from ear to ear.

Sea trade in Jeju Island.

The goods of each family are sent to the government of Jeju Island at the CIF price, and there are separate warehouses specially built for various commodities.

Then Jeju Island is sold to merchants from various countries at a uniform price in a monopoly manner.

That is to say, it eliminates the internal friction of each family, and makes Jeju Island gain great benefits.

Compared with collecting business tax, I don't know how many times stronger.

Although the price is higher than that of shipping to Macau, one is the large quantity and the other is a wide variety of goods, even supplies for the royal family.

etc. are stronger than smuggling merchants.

Not to mention Jeju Island.

The most luxury is in Jiangnan, and there are some in Fujian, but compared with Jiangnan, the luxury is not bad, but the scale is far from being mentioned.

Before the opening of Jeju Island.

Coastal merchants who profit from smuggling find it increasingly difficult to obtain goods.

The merchants in front of Jiangnan Xungui are also unwilling to cooperate with these people.

Although the interests of these people are high, the transaction volume is small, and there are many people in chaos, so the energy spent is not small.

Every year, one or two incidents are easy to happen, which not only makes people frightened, but also costs a lot of money to settle the incident.

It's not like trading with Jeju Island.

It is safe, portable, and needs less handling, not to mention the need for everyone to take precautions.

Although the profit is not as good as that of the smuggled sea merchants, but the quantity is large, and this alone can compare with the smuggled sea merchants.

The most important thing is what can these sea merchants bring to them?Nothing but silver.

Marquis Ping Liao was different.

The nobles and the Marquis of Liao are equal, and they can exchange rights with each other and give themselves convenience.

This principle is no different from later generations.

No matter how big the business is, it is still a treat.

This is true both at home and abroad, and it is very realistic.

With such a crushing advantage, Jeju Island is like a bottomless pit.

After Jiangnan, Fujian and other places supply the whole country, there are additional commodities and newly increased production. No matter how many there are, Jeju Island will accept them all.

Honorable nobles, merchants have chosen Jeju Island. A small amount of used goods from years ago are still released, and new goods this year.

All of them were ready to be shipped to Jeju Island for trade, but they were not released.

Therefore, the smugglers endured it for half a year, and finally dared not bear it any longer.

The coast of Fujian began to cause trouble, and Guangdong gradually expanded.

General Yuehai has no intention of compromise. He has long been disgusted with smuggling businessmen who violate the ban and are bold.

If someone makes trouble, they will send troops to suppress it.

The situation is getting worse day by day.

Some of the smuggling sea merchants had made enough money and chose to go ashore, some were not full, and some had just set out to sea.

The latter ones are even more frightening. These people were forced by the situation and chose to fight back even harder in the face of the government's toughness.

Four Fujian ships broke into Panyu, Guangdong, and hundreds of people went ashore to burn, kill and loot. When the officers and soldiers arrived, they saw only a mess.

General Guangdong was furious.

This is a provocation to him, to underestimate him so much.

While impeaching Fujian officials for their lax management, which caused the people to go to sea privately and disturb Guangdong, at the same time, they sent soldiers to search for households along the coast.

General Guangdong Hai made a fierce counterattack.

However, any family whose family members cannot tell where they are is considered a crime of pirate family members, unless the family members come from the leader.

The prison was overcrowded and the crying was loud.

Some people got the news and took care of their family members to go ashore to plead guilty in person. Some people have not received the news yet, and some people have made up their minds to fight to the death with General Yuehai.

The situation in the south suddenly became severe.

Not only did the pirates everywhere not subside, but they became more and more rampant and lawless.

Even to the point of besieging the city and killing officials.

General Guangdong Sea please transfer warships, and set up inspection departments in various places along the coast.

At the same time, he went to the imperial court and ordered the coastal areas of Fujian and Guangdong.

"Leather the ferry, strictly protect the armor, and arrest the traitors."

Even the ferry boats used to cross the river must be banned, regardless of how the people cross the river, so as to cut off the source of pirates buying ships privately.

Because of the rampant pirates, they dared to go ashore to attack the city and kill officials, and the coastal government enforced stricter orders on the sea ban.

Most of the pirates are involved with the big local families.

The government has strengthened the supervision of each family, numbered and demarcated them, and they are no longer allowed to move freely as in the past, and strictly abide by Baojia when entering and leaving.

At the same time, there is a card for every ten households of the common people. The name, population, and address of each head of the household are written on the card, so that they can be inspected at any time.

Each household takes turns to be on duty, with a tour every three days.

If someone deliberately hides and does not report, then one family is guilty, and ten families will sit together.

The coastal situation is deteriorating at an unbelievable speed, and the speed of corruption in various places is completely unimaginable.

Because Guangdong has the supervision of General Yuehai, the government enforces it most strictly, but Fujian is different.

Fujian has many mountains and little land.

The people are poor and have no means of living, so they can only rely on the sea to survive.

Obeying the laws of the Great Zhou is death, but not obeying the laws of the Great Zhou may lead to life. The people do not want to die.

Therefore, not only did the number of people going to sea not decrease, but because of the strict laws, anyone who chose to go to sea would no longer have any scruples.

Some officials only cared about their superiors, ignored the life and death of the people, and acted strictly in accordance with the court's regulations. However, the more criminals were arrested, the more they could be promoted.

There are also wise officials who think this is not advisable.

This will not only fail to eliminate pirates, but will lead to more and more pirates.

Therefore, going in the opposite direction, even suggested to the imperial court that blocking is worse than sparse, it is better to cancel the ancestral system of maritime prohibition, and asking the imperial court to allow Fujian to open the sea and manage maritime merchants with ports is a good strategy.

But the officialdom is most afraid of being alone.

It was obviously a good strategy to solve the root cause, but it caused impeachment, and in the end he was punished and demoted.

Bad money drives out good money.

Bad officials crowd out good ones.

It is also why the same system has various drawbacks and the country's affairs are corrupted.

It is nothing more than good officials are gone, and being a bad official can not only get promoted, but also search for people's fat and people's anointing to make a fortune.

The implementation of the system, in the final analysis, depends on people.

The same system, implemented by different people, the result is far away.

The emperor of the capital of Great Zhou.

He is not Long Qing.

Although he was also just starting to be in charge of the government, he didn't want to cause trouble, and only ordered Guangdong and Fujian to eliminate pirates as soon as possible, and to open the sea in violation of the ancestral system.

Instead, he thinks that the country's affairs have deteriorated in recent years because officials did not abide by the original legal system.

All the corruption caused by this, even think that the ancestral system should be strictly restored.

He was extremely satisfied with the memorabilia of the General of Yuehai, but he berated and condemned the officials who proposed to reform and open the sea.

And he wants to make achievements to show people that he is more holy than the Supreme Emperor.

Although I don't understand government.

But just grab a little bit.

Officials who can do good things will be rewarded, and officials who can do bad things will be punished, and even arrested and interrogated.

But what does it mean to be able to do good things, and what does it mean to be unable to do good things.

A country's political affairs have been extremely difficult topics since ancient times, and how could such a large country be so simple and rude.

Such and such.

Officials in Guangdong and Fujian, even if there are sensible people, dare not mention the matter of lifting the sea ban.

It was the official who disregarded the people's livelihood and was stained with the blood of countless people who violated orders and went to sea to survive the people, all the way to the top.

An official with a kind heart and some human nature can't do any meritorious service, and he can't compare with others in the three-year exam.

Under such circumstances, even if there are more and more pirates, officials everywhere strictly abide by the ancestral system.

Don't ask the reason, just kill the person.

……

"Oh my god!"

Shaanxi.

Mass Burial Mound.

In a pit that had been dug, a frightening, skinny man with protruding green eyes knelt on the ground and cried bitterly.

For newly dead and buried people, wild dogs dig them out and eat them.

But there were no bones around.

Wild dogs eat and hide from people.

This is a scary world.

The Little Ice Age was a period of sharp drop in temperature.

But this is a long time, not just a few years.

During this period, it may cause abnormal weather.

For example, it snows in Hainan in the far south, while Shaanxi in the north suffers from severe drought every year.

As for hail, heavy rain, floods, earthquakes, etc., they are accompanied all the year round.

Where there is plenty of water, it rains every month, and where there is a shortage of water, there is no drop all year round.

Shaanxi has long been a thousand miles away.

The Great Zhou inherited the Great Ming, and water conservancy projects were the most important affairs of the fields. Like the Ming Dynasty, the same regulations were set.

The dredging system of "a small selection in three years and a large selection in five years".In order to ensure that the water conservancy facilities can play a role.

As for the dispute between the Supreme Emperor and the Emperor, the salary was collected every year.

In a different history, a few decades ago, a famous official Zhang Juzheng reformed, not only clearing up Zhang Tianmu, but also implementing the inspection method.

From the censor to the local government, the atmosphere has been rectified. Officials at least dare not do things, otherwise they will not pass the test of the law.

Although there are policies and countermeasures, it still brings benefits to Daming on the whole.

Ten years of reforms, even if they are abolished again, will continue the life of Daming for half a century.

The Great Zhou inherited the Great Ming, and the disadvantages became more and more serious, and there were no such national scholars who could continue the life of the country.

Officials are used to playing their hands up and down, and those who don't agree with each other will be harmed instead.

For example, Jia Yucun became an official for the first time. For example, Jia Zheng was sent out to be an official.

It can be seen that the officialdom of the Great Zhou Dynasty has been corrupted.

The fees for big and small picks all go into the hands of officials.

The silt deposited on the river bed is getting thicker and thicker, and the river embankment has been breached year after year, and the officials in charge of the river even gloated.

No one is against the River Destroyer.

Invasion of money will bring no disadvantages from the general river to gate officials; receiving workers' food will bring no disadvantages from deacons to those who are idle and hungry.

...So it is not a matter of one day and one night to repair and rule every year, and to break through every year, so as to tame and cause today's harm.

Tube standard leopard.

Natural disasters plus man-made disasters.

After more than ten years, one Yizi can eat each other to explain the suffering of the people.

on a dry river.

Meeting by chance is both accidental and inevitable.

At first, it was just a group of people numbly hoping for a miracle in the dry and cracked riverbed, and more and more people stopped.

These aimless, begging refugees don't know what to do.

"Ugh..."

"Ugh..."

"woooooo"

……

One cry, all cry, ten thousand cry.

They are the most hard-working, docile, sincere, and obedient people under the sun.

The people of no country can match them.

The meek are not as industrious as they are, and the industrious are not as meek as they are.

"Kill the county magistrate!"

A sad, miserable voice suddenly sounded.

"Kill the county magistrate!"

……

An old farmer raised his head and shouted to the sky.

He wanted to kill God too.

But he didn't dare to shout like that.

He just didn't want to live anymore, and he yelled out his life's suffering in four words.

"Kill the county magistrate!"

One person shouted!

Everyone shouted!
