Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 88 This is a Social Change

That's what Chen Xiucai said.

The surrounding discussions were much quieter.

The truth is indeed this truth.

If the rice harvested from farming and rent collection is sold at a price that is not enough for tax deduction.

Not many people are willing to grow rice.

No one does business that loses money.

Seeing that the surrounding discussions have dropped down.

Chen Xiucai said in a low voice: "Actually, it's good to go to Lanfang. There are many Cantonese who go to West Borneo. Now there are so many people who go to Lanfang, and they all go to make a fortune."

"Chen Xiucai, you said it lightly. West Borneo, where Lanfang is located, is a wild land, where people can gain a foothold casually."

Xu Sanjin's stout daughter yelled, her voice was quite resonant.

"That's not the case. Going to Lanfang is to open up wasteland, but do you know that the travel expenses are all free, and cattle, horses, farm tools and other tools are also distributed. The land you have cultivated for five years is yours, and five years of tax exemption, Lanfang Fang's land is about the same as ours in Panyu County, and it is a good land for growing rice."

Chen Xiucai's words were obviously not only addressed to the women of the Xu family.

It is also said to the people who are watching around.

Lanfang reclamation is currently the most important work of the Colonial Department.

On the one hand, it is necessary to transfer the dense population of Guangdong out, strengthen Lanfang Province’s control over West Borneo, and at the same time squeeze the territory of the natives through gradual encroachment.

With the support of the Ming Dynasty.

Lanfang has established large and small reclamation guards on the borders of the Borneo countries.

Implement a military system that integrates farming and warfare.

What Chen Xiucai didn't say was.

Immigrants to Lanfang must first learn how to use firearms.

Take, for example, a dingbao with a hundred strong men.

It is necessary to ensure that one hundred muskets can be drawn at any time.

For some larger forts, even artillery needs to be prepared.

If Borneo can establish a system of plowing, fighting and reclamation that integrates plowing and fighting, then this system can be directly copied to Java Island, to the southern mainland, and to North America.
This is the exploration of the colonial system in the early Ming Dynasty.

So the price is not as light as Chen Xiucai said.

"You said it lightly. Lanfang is full of barbarians. Everyone who goes there has to practice muskets. If they are not careful, they will die."

Xu Sanjin wiped away his tears and snot and said.

"Besides, the place in Borneo is full of miasma. If you go there, even if you are not beaten to death by barbarians, you may die of illness."

Chen Xiucai couldn't help shaking his head when he heard the words: "Where did you hear this, rumors, absolute rumors."

"First of all, let's talk about the barbarians in Borneo. King Ming recruited Japanese samurai specifically to clean up the barbarians. A large number of barbarians were cleaned up by the Japanese samurai. The fish that slipped through the net were at least one or two hundred young men. Are you still afraid of this?"

As soon as Chen Xiucai's words came out.

There was some commotion in the crowd.

"Japan? Japanese pirates."

"I heard that these carrot heads are very fierce."

"It's just right to use Japanese pirates to kill barbarians."

Seeing Xu Sanjin was speechless.

Chen Xiucai hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.

"There is also that miasma, I am not afraid now, look what it is, this is garlic medicine, garlic medicine that can cure all diseases."

Chen Xiucai took out the porcelain and said loudly.

Because the name of the life-extending water chosen by King Zhu Ming is too ugly.

As a result, the name failed to spread among the people.

Folk people prefer to call this fungicide garlic medicine.

Now all counties and townships are setting up clinics.

But doctors are not radishes in the ground, they can be sown in spring and harvested in autumn.

There are so many doctors in a short while.

So they are two knives trained temporarily, barefoot doctors.

Have loose bowels?
Take garlic medicine!
Cold and cold, headache and fever, shaking.
All eat garlic medicine.

Although the method is simple and crude.

But in this day and age.

Like Guangdong under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people can get basic medical help, but there really isn't one—after all, Boss Zhu is a doctor, so he is quite generous in this regard.

So now it is popular among the people.

It is said that this garlic medicine is a magic medicine that King Ming received from the gods and men of heaven.

King Ming is the Son of Heaven.

That makes sense.

So this kind of feudal superstition made the name of garlic medicine even louder.

"The raw material of this garlic medicine is garlic. It is extracted in a special way, and it is very cheap. With King Ming's magic medicine, are you still afraid that the miasma in Borneo will take your life?"

Chen Xiucai put away the garlic medicine and said.

The surrounding crowd stopped talking.

Many people are still thinking about the authenticity of what Chen Xiucai said.

If there is really no danger.

If you are sick, you will get free garlic medicine.

It seems that going to Lanfang is really not a bad choice.

Cantonese have a tradition of going to sea to make a living.

The cultures of Lingnan and Fujian are really a little bit influenced by marine culture.

This is also the reason why many overseas Chinese in later generations were originally from either Guangdong or Fujian.

Therefore, if King Zhu Ming's great colonization can't even fool the Cantonese, then it's even more useless in other places.

"Xu Sanjin, I will go to Lanfang with you. We are from our own village. Are you afraid that I will sell you out?" Chen Xiucai said.

"Chen Xiucai is going too?"

"It seems that going to Lanfang would be a good idea."

"If someone as smart as Chen Xiucai is going, there shouldn't be any danger in going to Lanfang."

"Maybe he can make a fortune."

There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.

Xu Hongxia glanced at Chen Xiucai and pulled her old man up.

"Old Dou, I think we have no other way out now except to go to Lanfang. I can still carry a musket if I go to Lanfang, and they don't accept girls when I go to the railway construction site."

After hearing this, Xu Sanjin couldn't help being silent for a while.

With a long sigh.

"In this world, why can't you even farm with peace of mind?"

As soon as the words came out.

The surrounding onlookers were also silent.

Yes.

How come it has been like this for thousands of years.

King Ming came.

Does the world seem to have changed?

Not that it's any worse.

Just
To be more tossing.

The crowd dispersed.

Xu Sanjin and his daughter would become glorious colonial pioneers if nothing happened.

Contribute to the fact that Borneo has completely become the living territory of the Han family.

Of course.

For Xu Sanjin and his daughter.

This is destined to be an experience of blood and tears.

Zhu Daohua walked on the field ridge where no one was there.

If there is no accident, these good paddy fields will be dried out this winter, and when spring comes, they will be planted with garlic or sugar cane.

I personally brought a demon to Guangdong and brought it to the land of China.

The name of this demon.

called capitalism.

The capitalization of agriculture will completely disintegrate the small peasant economy in which men farm and women weave.

by that time.

There will be a large influx of rural people into cities.

If your own Ming Dynasty can't solve this problem.

Find a way out for these surplus populations.

Then.

The dynasty will be completely swallowed up.

No matter how elite the Ming army under one's command is and how sharp weapons they possess, this will be the case.

Luo Fangbo, Luo Fangmei, Song Xiang and others followed Zhu Daohua from a distance.

Zhu Daohua walked slowly on the field ridge at the foot of Lianhua Mountain alone.

There was a wry smile on the corner of his mouth.

do not know either.

Wait 200 years later.

What would people call themselves.

Zhu Daohua shook his head.

His eyes turned to the north.

I have embarked on a road that cannot be turned back.

Just a Cantonese.

It's not enough.

A mere 800 million people is not enough to dye half the world yellow.

Qianlong's new army of coating has also practiced for more than half a year.

Autumn harvest in August, September and October, and it is almost time for the war.

This time.

Zhu Daohua's gaze had already aimed at Jiangnan and Ying Tianfu.

The [-] troops prepared were not for self-protection.

Kant, Macartney, and Burblom also witnessed a eviction.

Originally, envoys from Britain and France were going directly to Guangzhou by boat.

But to the coast of Guangdong.

I don't know what the French envoy Burblon ate wrongly.

Vomiting and diarrhea, it seems that it will die.

The fleet could only land in Lufeng County, Huizhou Prefecture, and then thanks to the officials of Lufeng County who sent a bottle of garlic medicine, Burblon saved his life.

Sailing in this era is indeed a very risky thing.

In particular, the sanitation conditions on the ship are very poor, and it is very likely that you will get sick and die if you are not careful.

And after Lu Feng landed.

Kant planned to go overland to Guangzhou.

Boulbloom was weak and didn't want to take the bumpy boat.

So the three sent most of their entourage to Guangzhou by boat.

I brought a small group of people, and prepared to go overland from Huizhou Mansion to Guangzhou Mansion with the officials of the Ministry of Rites who came to Lufeng to receive them.

When they walked to the outskirts of Boluo County, they also witnessed a tenant eviction incident.

"There is a profound social change taking place in Guangdong."

Kant said.

"Guangdong under the governance of Chris is much more dynamic than the Qing Empire in the north."

Macartney did not refute this statement.

Because it has come all the way from the shore.

They really see the vitality of this society.

Compared with the Qing Dynasty in the north, which strictly restricted the movement of people.

Guangdong often sees a large number of people moving.

The industrial base on Lantau Island needs to recruit a large number of workers.

And what kind of railway are you talking about?
When hearing the word railway.

Kant proposed to visit the railway construction.

The officials of the Ministry of Rites did not refuse either.

Railways in Guangdong are not a secret.

A few months ago, the Guangdong Railway Company was in the public offering, after hearing that it was an industry led by King Ming.

Many businessmen from Guangdong have invested in shares.

"Guangdong Railway Corporation has raised more than 300 million Ming Yuan, planning to build a railway from Kowloon to Guangzhou, and then to Nanxiong Prefecture!"

Chen Tingxuan, an official from the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of the reception, introduced.

"Now the section from Kowloon to Guangzhou City has started construction. Your envoy can visit the train."

"Train?" Macartney asked with some doubts, "Does this railway refer to horse-drawn carriages?"

Horse-drawn carriages appeared decades ago, mainly for ore transportation in mines.

"No, no, no, it's not a carriage, it's a train."

Chen Tingxuan corrected.

　The third is asking for recommendations, asking for monthly tickets, asking for rewards
