The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 623
The thieves of the 36th Battalion heard the warning from the "God of War", and they had long known the prestige of the "God of War" men, most of the thieves did not dare to go to Yiyang to find their place.

King Zijin Liang used his own scouting report to learn that there are not many "God of War" troops in Yiyang, maybe less than a hundred, and the rest are just recruited from Henan.

But with such a small number of people, they defeated the three leaders of the 36th Battalion, and even captured Chong Tianzhu and skinned him alive. The terrifying fighting power of the "God of War" made this old bandit shudder.

Cui Shanhu and slippery bosses who came back from the defeat begged the big bosses to send troops to avenge Chong Tianzhu, but they were scolded by Zijin Liang.

As the leader of the alliance, Zijin Liang seriously warned the leaders, big and small, that even if there was only one servant of the "God of War" in the future, the team would have to go around.

Don't think about attacking them just because they are few in number. The king of Qiongya may have tens of thousands of troops, and they are all masters who beat up Jiannu crying father and mother. It is not us who can resist.

In case the person who killed him, the "God of War" brought troops to encircle and suppress him in a rage, I'm afraid he would be caught and skinned alive.

Although the Eight Great Kings Zhang Xianzhong, Chuangjiang Li Zicheng, Ge Liyan He Yilong and other thieves disagreed, most of the bandits thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less.

We can't afford to offend the great god "God of War", just give him face and run away, anyway, did the Huang family horses chase after us to death?

In the seventh year of Chongzhen, Jiaozhi Province ushered in an upsurge of immigration, which was entirely the result of Gao Yingxiang, Lao Huihui, Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others harming the land of the Central Plains.

The population of Cochin Province has doubled, in fact, it can be resettled here after a five-fold increase.

However, Huang Sheng, who came to Jiaozhi City to live in the palace, did not do so. Instead, he issued an order to organize 30 households with a population of more than 150 million, and a labor force of 100 million men and women for basic construction.

The Baojia of all immigrants has been established, the clan rule has been completely disrupted, and the management of the Baojia system has made them adapt. There is no lynching, and everyone abides by a legal criterion.

Although this kind of defense mode is not perfect, it is very efficient.Huang Sheng has an organizational structure that can command level by level to the lowest level of Baojia, and its cohesion and mobilization are unparalleled in today's world.

In fact, the government orders of the state agencies of the Ming Dynasty can only reach the county level, and many areas cannot even be reached. Those places are under the jurisdiction of the chieftains, and most of the local officials of the imperial court are just symbolic.

There were too many disadvantages. The local county magistrates could not get close to the grassroots people, and had to rely on the clan and squires to govern the place. In the climate of corruption in the late Ming Dynasty, the common people were almost in the dark.

There is no chieftain and the traditional clan management has been broken. Under the King of Qiongya County, the government can be said to be well-organized and the people are harmonious, and the peasants at the bottom will not be bullied, because there are town officials at all levels who will inspect whether the Baozhang, Jiazhang, and Lizhang grasp the principle of fairness. .

The people of the Central Plains, who had suffered a lot and were displaced, went south with anxiety. There were too many people. It was hard for everyone to imagine how the king of Qiongya County could support these many people.

After coming to Cochin Province, everyone found that this place is really a royal paradise, there is no more hunger, everyone has an organization to rely on, and the original chaotic eyes became active again.

All children who have reached the school age will receive six years of free education, and there are even temporary schools in the construction labor concentration areas, where books are read loudly every day.

Reading is an extravagant wish of ordinary people, and too many people never dare to imagine it.

When I came to Cochin, I saw that my children could read books for free, and they didn’t even need to spend money to buy books and pencils. Bao, Jia, and Li would distribute them regularly. The construction workers fully believed that there would be good days in the future, and their enthusiasm for work was unprecedented.

Who knows that this is not enough, every laborer must study, read and learn arithmetic at night school, and those who learn actively will be rewarded, and all the common people are overjoyed.

The clans of Li Junpei, Chang Shengshen, etc. were also broken up and incorporated into Baojia. They passed the recruitment examination and became trainee pavilion chiefs, and they had already started to work in nine-rank civil official costumes.

This is entirely due to the population expansion of the Huang family system, which requires countless civil officials.

Therefore, Huang Sheng gave the scholars of Ming Dynasty who came to Jiaozhi the opportunity to become officials. They had a cultural foundation, studied new learning for a period of time in a crash course, and after passing the selection, they would become officials at the lowest level.

Li Junpei and Chang Shengshen spared no effort to read the textbooks published by Huang's family while they were busy every day. They all tried to assimilate new knowledge earlier.

Because he has made political achievements and passed the exam again, he will immediately become a ninth-rank civil official and remove the word trainee, and it is very possible to continue to work hard to become a county magistrate.

They have no objection to the new learning, and feel that the new learning is much more interesting and practical than the Four Books and Five Classics, and they are easy to learn and memorize.

They are full of confidence, thinking that with their foundation of Chinese studies and reference books like the "Huaxia Dictionary", it is not difficult to become a top student and pass the assessment to be promoted.

This time, many scholars like Li Junpei and Chang Shengshen came to the Huang family system, and some of them are also the parents of the clan. Now they are actively learning new management models and striving to become civil servants.

Many old villagers from "Huaxia Island", Huangjiawan Island, Hainan Island and other areas have come, at least they are newly promoted Baochang, and many of them have just been promoted from Baochang to Jiachang.

Whenever night fell, Baochang and Jiachang would chat with the new immigrants in their Baojia to conduct publicity and education. They told the new immigrants that the king of Qiongya County needed too many grassroots leaders.

Everyone's work performance will be recorded in the record. After being promoted to Baochang and going to Nanyang, they will get ten acres of fertile land, which is double that of ordinary immigrants.

They also told everyone that they joined the Huang family not long ago, because they were able to write, count and work steadily, and were selected as Baochang and Jiachang. As long as they work hard, the Huang family will develop rapidly. It is also possible for Jiachang to become the county magistrate.

It is every Han people's dream to get more fertile land of their own. All Han people work hard for a better tomorrow.

It is the dream of every Han people to be an official, Guangzong and Yaozu. Many scholars here feel that they have hope.

Because they found that they don’t need to pass the perverted imperial examinations, as long as they work hard and master new learning, they may become officials and masters. Reading new books immediately became the consensus of Cochin scholars.

The cavalry of Li Dagang and Gu Yicang has been fully loaded. The cavalry troops should be seriously overcrowded. The number of main soldiers has reached [-], and there are [-] auxiliary soldiers. They have more than [-] Arabian horses and two southwestern draft horses. More than a thousand.

They left Cochin Province in the spring, and Huang Mingdao borrowed a piece of Guangnan State to bring the cavalry closer to Malacca.
