Established a thousand-year family from the end of Qin Dynasty

Chapter 158 Incheon Landing ([-])

One month later

Incheon City

The Wang family's second immigrant fleet arrived in Incheon.

There are about 500 people, most of them are young and middle-aged, and there are also a small number of women.

At the same time, the Wang family continued to send [-] additional soldiers to support Incheon City.

The wooden village in Incheon City has been built. Outside the wooden village are three moats, three layers of horses, and a temporary low wall one foot high.

Inside the low wall are four watchtowers and sixty simple wooden houses for living, which have temporarily solved the living problems of the royal family, soldiers, craftsmen, security guards, and prostitutes.

Except for the Wang family, the rest of the people live in a simple wooden house for several people, and there are even wooden houses for ten people.

The wooden bed made temporarily by the craftsmen in the wooden house is covered with a temporary grass quilt (the coarse cloth is stuffed with thatch, a very simple quilt), and the meals are eaten in the open air in the camp, and the eating place is temporarily covered. canopy.

The settlers still live in tents, but more shanties are being built for the settlers to live in.

But fortunately, these are all temporary. When the city is built in the future, the simple wooden houses will naturally be demolished and transformed into better brick houses.

The second batch of immigrants disembarked one after another, and was assigned various tasks by Incheon Cheng, mainly around building wooden houses.

The pioneers carried supplies from the boats, including salt, corn, wheat flour, sour pears, oranges, Zinai (apples), olives, figs, wine, rice wine, pickles, and pickled fish.

Olives and figs are the seeds Wang Qiao brought back from Rome.

In order for the Wang family to have these exotic specialties exclusively, they could be sold at a high price in the future as the special products of the Wang family, so that everyone in the Central Plains would not be able to sell them at a high price. Therefore, these seeds were directly brought back to the Liaodong Wang family and were not handed over to the emperor.

Olives are now planted in the hills of Liaodong, and only a small amount is planted to observe the planting situation. At the same time, there are servants of the royal family watching the olive plantation day and night to prevent the people from stealing the seeds.

Wang Hongyin's real idea is to plant these special products in places far away from the Central Plains like Samhan or Wa Island, so that the Wang family can always maintain the advantage of special products, and they are precious when others have nothing.

It's just that these areas have not been conquered yet, so a small amount of them are planted in the Liaodong hills to produce more seeds, so as not to run out of seeds.

As for figs, they like a warm and humid climate. Liaodong is barely humid, but it is definitely not warm, so it is not suitable for figs to grow. Many figs have been planted to death by the Wang family.

Therefore, the Wang family later planted some figs on Yingzhou Island where the temperature was higher, but they barely survived, but the yield was too low. At present, the Wang family could not eat enough for themselves, so they will not sell it to the public for the time being.

Wine making is also brought back from Rome by Wang Qiao.

There are plains on the west side of Samhan, where corn can be grown, and hills on the east side, where sunnaps (apples) can be grown.

Moreover, there are some tigers (tigers) in the Sanhan area. This kind of beast with powerful martial arts is deeply loved by the royal family.

When the Wang family went to plunder the Mahan people as slaves, they captured two tiger-tails by the way, and these two tiger-tails gave birth to a little white tiger-tail (little white tiger).

This white tiger also became Wang Zhengjun's pet, and was brought into Chang'an Crown Prince's palace by Wang Zhengjun to live together.

Everyone is happy and happy, whether they are pioneers, private soldiers, or even prostitutes.

The pioneers understand that as long as the land reclamation is over, they will be able to own [-] mu of land in this life, and inherit it to their eldest son to continue farming, and the other sons need to continue to reclaim wasteland in other overseas regions to own their own fields.

So the pioneers are very happy. They are called tenant farmers, but they are already equivalent to the owner farmers who belong to the royal family.

The Patriarch of the Wang family is equivalent to their monarch.

Moreover, the Wang family also sent scholars from time to time to teach them Confucianism and spread the concept of monarch, minister and minister to tenant farmers.

It means that you are equivalent to the subjects of the royal family, and the royal family is equivalent to your monarch. You must abide by the rules of Confucian monarchs and ministers, keep your own duties according to the etiquette of honor and inferiority, and be honest from generation to generation. Rulers, don't always think about making mistakes and jumping up the ranks.

In the past, the royal family looked down on Confucianism. It was because the royal family was too weak and belonged to the ruled side, so they looked down on Confucianism, because the royal family wanted to resist, to achieve a class leap, and to become a member of the ruler.

Now, because the Wang family has achieved a class leap and has become one of the many rulers, it has begun to highly respect Confucianism.

As the saying goes, when you get in the car, you must weld the door tightly to prevent people who haven't got in the car from getting in the car to grab the cake.

Therefore, the current Wang family has built Confucian temples in Luoyueyuan, Taohuayuan, Nanta, Penglai Island, and Yan Island.

Penglaicheng convened the tenant farmers on Penglai Island once a month, and personally taught them the Confucian concept of monarch and minister, etiquette, superiority and inferiority, and the monarch as the leader of the subject, step by step to eliminate the resistance of the tenant farmers.

Through the education of Confucianism, these low-level people will completely lose the motivation to resist the Wang family psychologically. This is what the Wang family has been working hard to do.

The policy of the royal family is Confucianism and legalism. On the surface, Confucianism educates the people not to resist, but in reality they use Legalism to plunder the wealth of the people.

The combination of Confucianism and Legalism is invincible in the world!
As the scale of the Wang Family's Tianmu continues to grow, changes are also taking place within the Wang Family.

That is, land mergers are also happening within the Wang family!

Some wealthy royal tenants annexed the land of other poor royal tenants, and then this wealthy royal tenant made the poor royal tenant a tenant for him!

It's a big man Ben Han!Unlimited nesting dolls!
A country is a country, a country is a big family, and a family is a small country.A ruler is a ruler, and a ruler is a ruler.

My royal family attached itself to the imperial court, annexed the imperial court's land, and sucked the imperial court's blood, but you actually attached to my royal family and sucked our royal family's blood?

It is unreasonable that a big tyrant is being produced within the imperial court, and a small tyrant is also being produced within the big tyrant!
Therefore, after discovering such a thing.

Wang Hongyin quickly cut through the mess, directly prohibiting the sale of land within the Wang family. No one is allowed to buy or sell the land of the Wang family.

As the saying goes, a small ship is easy to turn around. While the Wang family’s ship is still not big, quickly fill in the loopholes in the system. Otherwise, when the Wang family grows stronger in the future, various interest groups will be formed inside, and it will be the same as the big ship of the big man. It's not easy to turn around.

In order to prevent land annexation by powerful gentry within the royal family, the royal family not only forbids the sale of land, but also stipulates that a tenant farmer will plant [-] mu of land. After his death, the [-] mu of land will be inherited by his eldest son, and other children must leave the family. , take the Wang family's land reclamation ship, and go overseas to reclaim wasteland, and then the children who reclaim land will get a new [-] mu of land overseas, but this [-] mu of land can only be inherited to the eldest son of the land reclamation person.

If there are no male offspring, the Wang family will arrange for new tenant farmers to cultivate the [-] mu of land. Anyway, they cannot be adopted to the relatives of the pioneers, so as to fundamentally prevent land annexation within the Wang family.

By forcibly dismantling the family, it is possible to avoid super-large families with a large population within the Wang family.

However, this kind of tough method can only be used by the Wang family, who is small and easy to turn around. The Han court has no way to learn. After all, there are too many intricate forces in the Han court, and the tyrants have also developed for hundreds of years. move.

Because the Wang family is engaged in land mergers themselves, they have more means to prevent land mergers.

After all, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in all battles, because you do it every day, so you understand.

Although it was split up, the land was allocated after all, and it was a real [-] mu. During the land reclamation period, all food, clothing, housing and transportation were provided by the Wang family for free. This is much happier than being a tenant farmer for the powerful people in the Central Plains, so the land reclamationists are very happy .

As for the prostitutes, the Wang family paid very high remuneration, so they were willing to follow the fleet to serve the people overseas. The prostitutes could save enough living expenses for a lifetime after working overseas for a year.

Not to mention craftsmen, all craftsmen can be allocated a house and a wife for free, and the monthly salary is also very high, which is equivalent to the small officials (such as Gongcao, etc.) in the county government of the imperial court. Any invention can get a lot of money rewards. If the invention is very useful, it can even be given the surname of Wang and become half of the royal family. In the future, there will be a chance to be recommended by the Liaodong prefect to be an official in the court through the inspection system. threshold.

For example, there used to be a maid from the Wang family who had a flash of inspiration when weaving silk, and improved the loom so that the loom could dye silk and satin while weaving, and even dye patterns on silk and satin while weaving, which greatly improved the Wang family's ability. textile efficiency.

Therefore, this servant girl was directly given the surname Wang, and her descendants will also be surnamed Wang. They will eat and live with the Wang family, and like the Wang family, they can participate in family meetings and decide the future of the Wang family. Recommended to be an officer.

A craftsman, or even a maid, himself or his descendants have the opportunity to touch the threshold of the gentry, which shows that the Wang family attaches great importance to technology.

While attaching importance to technology, the Wang family also strictly guards against technology. Those who dare to leak technology will be sentenced to death, even Ling Chi is considered light.

The number of acres of land in the Wang family is dozens of times that of before, but the number of soldiers is about the same as before.

This is because the Wang family has slowly changed the direction of development, adopting the strategy of elite soldiers, using more money to reward those who have meritorious talents, and at the same time using the extra money to build Confucian temples, so as to educate the bottom people.

The low-level people without real talents are educated to reduce their resistance, and the low-level people with real talents are given a lot of rewards to give up their hearts to the Wang family, so the rule of the Wang family will be more stable.

For the mediocre, we should promote moral education to them. The mediocre are only worthy of drinking chicken soup for the soul, and not worthy of wasting the money of the Wang family.

For geniuses, just give them money directly, don't talk nonsense, don't make big cakes, and don't care about them.

This is the performance of the perfect use of Confucianism's skin and bones.
