Wanli 1592

390 Three Years

This is simply an ideal life in a dream. However, for Xiao Ruxun, he still feels that the population growth rate is too slow. After all, it is overseas, and except for residents in coastal provinces, inland residents generally lack the idea and willingness to emigrate to other places Among other things, in Guangxi, Yunnan and Sichuan, there have been less than 1 immigrants from these three provinces in recent years.

Myanmar can support more than 100 million people?Even in the past few years, Myanmar has only developed less than 20.00%, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped!

Of course, the officials don't care about these things, even if they know, they won't help Xiao Ruxun, anyway, they just use this place as a garbage disposal station, and always throw some garbage to Burma Town that they don't think is useful.

But Xiao Ruxun had already planned Myanmar, the commercial area in the south, the agricultural area in the middle and the military management area in the mountainous area in the north.

The southern coastal area is mainly responsible for commerce, and several urban agglomerations centered on Yangon are mainly responsible for commercial trade. Since the first year, a large number of Western ships and Southeast Asian merchant ships have come here to do business every year. Beginning this year, Businessmen from Ming Dynasty also came here to do business through Siam.

The vast agricultural area in the central part is mainly responsible for agricultural production. The urban agglomeration centered on Bago City has the largest population and the largest production area. It is rich in food crops such as rice and corn, with extremely high yield and three crops a year. The basic law has made food rich already. Xiao Ruxun has already contacted several small countries that are short of food and started the business of food export.

As for the northern mountainous area, it belongs to the military-administered area that civilians cannot reach. It completely belongs to Xiao Ruxun's own military-administered area. In it, there is a secret that Xiao Ruxun has hidden for a long time.

Cannon production workshops, musket production workshops, other ordnance production areas, potato planting areas, tea planting areas, mining areas, etc. This vast and inaccessible mountainous area is generally regarded as a place of death, but in the land of death Within the land, Xiao Ruxun has spent millions of taels of silver to establish a very complete production system.

Basically, the army and the former prisoners of war are in charge here. [-] prisoners of war and [-] troops will be in charge here. The prisoners of war are mainly responsible for mining. After the iron ore and copper ore are mined, they are directly transported to the ordnance workshop to be refined and processed into ordnance production. Raw materials do not require much transportation costs.

Xiao Ruxun recruited skilled craftsmen from the mainland of Ming Dynasty, Southeast Asian countries, and the West to live here, and provided Xiao Ruxun's army with a large amount of high-quality ordnance every day.

The planting of potatoes belongs to the scope of the army station. The troops stationed here obtain a large amount of food by planting potatoes in winter. The rich ones are sent to the agricultural areas in the central part and then transferred to the commercial areas in the south. , Through on-the-spot testing and experimental planting, Xiao Ruxun circled a large mountain here as a tea planting area, produced high-quality tea, and traded with Western businessmen who came to Yangon to do business, earning a large amount of real money.

What attracts foreigners most in Ming Dynasty is silk tea and porcelain. In the past, they had to bypass Malacca to reach Ming Dynasty, but now, Myanmar has become the territory of Ming Dynasty, and it directly leads to the Indian Ocean region. There is news that Chinese goods can be bought without detours. In a short period of time, it spread in the circle of Western maritime merchants.

Ever since, starting from the second half of the 23rd year of Wanli, merchant ships from Spain, France, Britain, the Netherlands and other Western countries came to Yangon Port one after another.

They bought tea, silk and simple porcelain here, which are cheaper than those in mainland China, as well as many local products of Southeast Asian countries. Due to the distance factor, they all regard this place as the terminal of their commercial activities and expect to buy here. to enough goods.

After learning that Western merchants used Yangon Port as their terminal, businessmen from various countries also flocked to Yangon Port with their own goods to do business with Western merchants here.

Under the witness of Daming, they pay taxes and then conduct transactions. The Ming army will be responsible for protecting their safety, and the officials of Daming will be responsible for protecting their rights and interests. Any deceitful behavior will not be dominated by the land, the Marquis His lordship allows his army and officials to maintain the extremely fast pace of daily life in the port of Rangoon with great efficiency.

Those responsible for these things cannot all be soldiers. Xiao Ruxun also has his own civil service system, but it has to be said that 90.00% of them are not scholars from Ming Dynasty, but contributed by Siamese and a few small countries in Southeast Asia. The King of Siam appointed a large number of Chinese As officials, most of these officials left Siam and went to Burma Town to work for the Marquis of Zhennan. There are few Chinese officials in other small Southeast Asian countries, but they are not without them. They, who miss their motherland, resolutely left here and chose to serve as Marquis Xiao potency.

These people who have no fame and no retreat but have actual political experience made Xiao Ruxun smile. It has to be said that these people have surpassed the group of nerds in actual ability by many times. Before going out to become an official, you must first observe the politics, and then send them out. When you are released, you must also send them the way of being an official written by Emperor Taizu, so as to prevent those county officials who are sent out from being played around by local snakes.

Some nerds are just being tricked, and it doesn’t matter how much they were ordered by the Taizu. Some nerds are passionate about changing the local poverty situation, but they often don’t care about the reality and make a mess of the local area. Then when the time comes, the nerds clap He left with his ass and abandoned the confused farmers, looking at the messy land and wanting to cry without tears.

You wouldn't dare use this kind of person even if it was Xiao Ruxun Xiao Ruxun.

Thanks to them not coming, Xiao Ruxun was lucky enough to get a group of practical talents with guaranteed loyalty, who had accumulated experience in politics and herdsmen in various countries. They had no fame and were not accepted by the Ming Dynasty, but they were accepted by Xiao Ruxun. The brand of Zhennan Hou can never be erased.

Of course, they are naturally unwilling to eliminate them. It is definitely better to be an official of the Ming Dynasty than an official of those small countries.

They are conscientious, hardworking and willing to work, and they cherish their current status very much. They dare not disobey any of the prohibitions proposed by Xiao Ruxun. Those who are in charge of business dare not socialize with businessmen, and those who are in charge of agriculture dare not stay with them in the fields. Farmers do research, and as for those in charge of the northern business district, they are all trusted officials, Xiao Ruxun is absolutely at ease.

Today's Burmese officialdom is as pure as a white lotus compared to Ming Dynasty's officialdom.
