Chapter 200: It's okay to tell you
The avenue is wide and flat, without bumps, and no **** in the middle of the road. Everyone who arrives in the southeast province feels a deep feeling: unusually clean and well-organized!
can be called shock!
Even some people who are used to seeing their city are not used to it!
On the streets, people are dressed in better materials than those in major mainland cities. Even the clothes made of poor materials are very clean. Everyone is dignified because they are clean or because they have money in their pockets and food in their homes. Their eyes are strong. , Keep your head up.
There is no beggar!
The streets and people look pleasing to the eye.
The carriage deliberately took Liu Zhifeng out for a round, and he saw that the farmland seemed boundless, and they were all growing well.
Liu Zhifeng has sharp eyes, and at a glance he can see that the spirit of the local farmers is completely different from that of the mainland farmers.
of course!
All the land in the Southeast Mansion belongs to Yan Changwu. The farmers are his tenant farmers. They pay only 20% of the rent and no other expenditure. The contract must be 30 years. The monument was erected in Beigang, not far from the Mazu Temple. If the contract is breached, the peasant shouts at the gods, and Yan Changwu can't sit still.
Farmers have money and food, eat well, and are energetic, far better than their oppressed counterparts on the mainland.
Chen Zhongji also deliberately talked about Taiwan’s money and food income, which is beneficial to trade. It exports white sugar, rum, re-exports porcelain, silk and tea. Some of the income is returned to the people’s livelihood. People’s livelihood is guaranteed, and there is no danger of freezing and starvation. , As long as you are diligent, you must have an income!
"What is the income from sugarcane here?" Liu Zhifeng asked with interest.
"Sugar cane is a big business! It doesn't matter if you tell it to you!" Chen Zhongji smiled lightly, stretched out **** and said: "It includes sugar, milk candy and rum. How much is two million taels of silver!"
"Scare!"
Chen Zhongji admitted to his income face to face. Liu Zhifeng was really shocked. He knew that during the Wanli period, the state's fiscal revenue was (value) 20 million taels of silver (including silver, rice straw and other miscellaneous items), of which pure silver was only more than three million. Two, this is a place in the southeastern prefecture, and the amount of silver is more than two million taels of silver for the sugar alone!
After Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne, due to wars and disasters, the country’s revenue was even lower (Later, three rates were added, and the annual income was ten million taels of silver, but this was to quench thirst by drinking a dove). Liu Zhifeng muttered in his heart and did not know Beiping Hubu Kuli Do you have more money in Southeast Mansion?
The Ming Dynasty should have been a very happy dynasty, because the silver mines in the country produced a large amount of gold and silver, and what was even more terrifying was the development of silver mines in the Americas. There was also the era of Hong Mao Fan's voyage that penetrated Europe, Asia and Africa. Entering large-scale industrial production, commodities were scarce, which was extremely beneficial to the export of the Ming Dynasty, and silver flowed into the Ming country like water.
But under the impediment of those "staunch patriots" in the DPRK, the sea ban was imposed. With such rampant smuggling by sea, the court could not collect the money from Shanghai International Trade Corporation, and the court's commercial tax was very low. It was a match made in heaven!
makes the country poor and the people rich, the emperor is definitely a good emperor!
Originally, Liu Zhifeng went to Taiwan’s mansion to prepare to show off his fists and educate the people so that the local people were loyal to the mainland and loyal to Ming Dynasty. Now that he has seen the situation everywhere, he has lost confidence in his heart, saying: "This place is governed so well. How can you compete with him for popular support?"
He is not a fool, knowing that the Southeast Mansion will never give him financial power, how can it be possible to buy people's hearts without money!
Turned back to Tainan’s Old Governor’s Mansion. It turned out to be just across the street from the pier. Fortunately, Liu Zhifeng was not in a taxi. Otherwise, he would have to complain about collecting too much money around the road.
……
The Old Warlord’s Mansion is a Western-style building with great style. The interior decoration and items are not extravagant or gorgeous.
A servant gave a copper basin face towel to let everyone wipe the dust off their faces. Then everyone went to the main hall. Yan Changwu took the first place, Liu Zhifeng and Mr. Zhong sat down, while Chen Zhongji sat down.
There was a banquet, and there were many dishes including Buddha jumping over the wall, fried oysters, Southeast meatballs, fried flower sticks, shochu snails, and a seasonal vegetable. There were not too many dishes.
Chen Zhongji introduced the characteristics of the dishes, and then said: "My ordering custom in Southeast Mansion is determined by General Yan. The portion is required to be appropriate and not to be wasted. Eat them up and pack them out!"
There is such a thing!
Liu Zhifeng felt deeply disturbed.
If the local tyrants in the Southeast Mansion are too much, the court will have a chance to take advantage of it, but if the other party knows how to control, it would be terrible.
During the dinner, he deliberately spied on the military, financial, land, and people of the Southeast Mansion. Chen Zhongji didn't hide from him, he said everything he could say, telling the truth, it might as well say it to you, but he heard that Liu Zhifeng was demented.
You have done a great job at home!
Seeing the other party’s smile and unbridled words, Liu Zhifeng remembered the old things in the Three Kingdoms. Sun Ce defeated Huang Zu and reported his merits. Cao Cao knew that Sun Ce was strong and prosperous. He sighed and said, “Lion (referring to Cao Cao’s own son, Cao Zhang) It's hard to compete!"
Now that the Southeast Mansion is strong, it is not afraid that the court will deal with them at all.
Yan Changwu is cunning. Although he is rewarded by the court, he never goes ashore. In the middle of the tiger and wolf division of the fleet, who can get rid of him!
There is a delicate balance between the Southeast Mansion and the court. The Southeast Mansion expresses superficial obedience to the court, and the court cannot use troops against them, otherwise the Southeast Mansion will rebel!
Once a rebellion, the imperial court spent countless amounts of money and food, the key is not necessarily winning the battle, losing the army and losing the army.
Xiong Wencan also wanted to use the interior of the Southeast Mansion to deal with Yan Changwu, but found that it was very difficult to buy. The other party's defense was extremely strict and not counted. The people sent were also quite dangerous. Several groups of people have disappeared, but later learned that they were all there. Do hard labor in the sand field in Southeast Mansion!
The sand field in the Southeast Mansion is well-known, claiming to deal with beggars, lazy people and hostile forces, so that no one on the mainland dare to do bad things in the Southeast Mansion!
It turns out that the generals and people of the Southeast Prefecture are quite loyal to Yan Changwu~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It turned out to be a bonus for Yan Changwu's youth.
As the saying goes, "The mouth is hairless, and things are not fast", but when you go backwards and say: "There is no hair on your mouth, and things are fast", that's terrible!
There is such an achievement at such a young age, young and old, when he grows old... how far can he go? Maybe he has the luck of the founding emperor!
In order to fight for the future of the founding fathers, the people of Southeast Mansion did not fight fiercely. They united tightly in the team with him as the core, worked hard, trained and fought hard, and was extremely impeccable!
Not to mention Liu Zhifeng sighed, Mr. Zhong, the governor who accompanied him, learned for the first time that there are four huge ships in the Southeast Fleet, two are under construction, and eight more will be built in the future! There are also large cruise ships (level 5) expected to reach twelve, and another level six cruisers are expected to reach forty (both are added), and there are eight fast supply ships of level five (Yasha class), southeast The fleet is equipped with large splint ships, which is really terrifying.
……
After the banquet, Yan Changwu and Chen Zhongji left, leaving Liu Zhifeng and Mr. Zhong to rest. The two stayed in the guest room of the old governor’s mansion. The decoration was not luxurious. To my surprise, the bathroom facilities in the suite were unheard of. After using it, Liu Zhifeng found it very practical!
The servants brought refreshments, and the two dismissed the people and talked about each other.
When it comes to the grand occasion of Southeast Mansion, it is really unheard of.
Liu Zhifeng asked: "What do you say is Yan Changwu, Southeast Mansion?"
He said to himself authentically: "A man of troubled times?"
Mr. Zhong said: "It can be said to establish the heart for the heaven and the earth, for the life and the people, for the sacred and the fascinating learning, and for the peace for all generations!"
Liu Zhifeng was so shocked, staring at Mr. Zhong closely, he couldn't think of how high his evaluation of Yan Changwu was!
