Chapter 214: 1 Governor Zou who can't do anything
It's really a disadvantage. Zou Weilian grimacingly picked up his tail and left after barely scraping one hundred thousand silver dollars in Yuegang.
The three big silver horns are a weather vane. If they give in, Zou Weilian will be satisfied, but it's a pity that they won't be a bird.
He really wanted to send troops to block the Moon Harbor, arrest the criminals, tortured them one by one, and give them a satisfactory ransom before releasing them.
According to the wealth of the moon port, you will be able to reap huge amounts!
It is not a problem to build as many splint boats as you want.
It's a pity that I can think about it!
Yuegang’s interest chain is deeply entrenched. Look, countless silk, porcelain, tea and other commodities produced in squire manors in various places are transported by land to Yuegang, and then sent to smuggling ships to sell to Hongmaofan and Japanese people, earning huge amounts Of silver.
"Country gentry everywhere" includes officials and landlords in the southeast region. As long as they have some ability, they will all get a share of the pie. This is an extremely large interest group, including the Donglin Party members.
Can Zou Weilian afford to offend?
impossible!
The emperor didn’t work. The emperor wanted to open the sea to ban tariffs on sea trade and set up a card on land to collect business taxes. They all pushed them back.
If Zou Weilian dared to do this, Bao Baobao would not see the sun tomorrow!
Even if he does not die, the memorials that attacked him in the middle are like snow flakes. Many of them are his party members, and the brothers have nothing to do with them.
I don’t want to think about the so-called “clear currents”. The DPRK does not accept bribes and has a strong back. The money smuggled from their hometown supports their decent life in Beijing. How can they ignore their hometown!
...
Returning to Fuzhou to care for the Ya, Zou Weilian thought to himself.
He expected this thing to be difficult to do, but he did not expect that the resistance was unexpectedly large. Now he can't get money, and many things can't be done!
But he made a ticket to the emperor again!
The more he thought about it, the more headaches he got. At this time, he most wanted to scold Yu Zigao, the former Fujian coastal defense commander. He was the son of the anti-Japanese hero Yu Dayou. He was really a tiger father and a dog son. He failed to eliminate the Southeast Mansion when he was capable of destroying the Southeast Mansion. The tail is big.
Hmph, the situation in the southeast of Ming Dynasty is so bad that I deserve a knife on his neck! (Due to defeat, Yu Zigao has been executed)
That boy Yan is so young, but cunning enough, he refuses to go ashore, there is really no way he can do it!
As the saying goes, returning to the hometown with cloth and brocade means that the rich and the noble do not return to the hometown, like a night walk in brocade clothes. Ordinary thieves are recruited as court officials, and they often build mansions in their hometowns or houses on the mainland, so that they can show prestige in front of them, lest they don't know it.
Yan Changwu didn't do anything like this. He was willing to be the leader of the villager and fisherman in the wilds of Taiwan --- Zou Weilian didn't expect that this kid came through, and his hometown concept was weak, so the mainland government could not hold him.
Zou Weilian felt a sense that the other party was shameless and invincible.
He thought and thought, reluctantly, and made the following decision.
The first is to ban the outflow of Fir from northern Fujian!
It is well-known that the southeast government uses the fir of northern Fujian to build ships. Governor Zou keeps pace with the times. It is surprising that the trees have been felled, which has caused changes in feng shui and caused soil erosion. The reason for local instability is that firs are forbidden to be shipped out.
It’s a pity that it was too late. In fact, the fir in northern Fujian was almost completely cut down, which would not affect the shipbuilding industry of the Southeast Prefecture.
Yan Changwu took precautions. He cut all the suitable wood in northern Fujian and stored it first. (This is one of the reasons why he spends a lot of money. Anyway, he keeps spending money). Now he gives Yin a start. People replanted fir miles in northern Fujian!
The second is to prohibit the migrants from all over the country without authorization, and to encourage local officials to do a good job of spring ploughing.
He did not say that the refugees should not be allowed to go to Southeast Mansion. Instead, he asked local officials to do a good job of spring ploughing according to the reported number of headcount and acres. Anyway, the numbers should match, but the actual situation is that no people will be lost.
It’s a pity that this plan is not for sale. Those people have to go to the Southeast Mansion a long time ago. After all, there was a drought in Fujian two years ago, and a lot of people were lost to the Southeast Mansion. They lived happily in the Southeast Mansion, and many people called for friends. People who crossed the sea to vote in the Southeast Mansion, all who stayed did not leave.
In addition, Yan Changwu is still an official of Ming Dynasty. Fujian does not give the refugees. Guangdong and Guangxi are okay, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are okay, and there are locations as far as Huguang. When they reach the north of the Yangtze River, there are also refugees sent to the Southeast Prefecture. Yan Changwu did this to him. It's just a breeze, it's not a big deal!
As for the training of Fujian navy officers, expecting them to fight Taiwan, Zou Weilian went to the left center (Xiamen) to watch Fujian navy masters drill, and his nose was irritated!
First of all, those soldiers are short and small, and they are not very strong!
Secondly, their training level is not good. They banged their guns down, seemingly lively, but Zou Weilian noticed that they were slow in their movements, slow in shooting, and low in hit rate!
In front of him, he still said graciously, "Okay!" But when he was alone with Haiphong Commander Lan Bangxian, he lowered his face and said, “Commander Lan, the court spends salaries to raise the soldiers, and you give the court such an explanation?”
Lan Bangxian knelt down to Zou Weilian with a plop, and wailed: "My lord governor, there is no way to get off the court!"
"Get up, make it clear!" Zou Weilian frowned.
So Lan Bangxian told him: "Good officers and soldiers are all hired by the Southeast Fleet!"
"Their salaries are generous. Ordinary soldiers have 26 taels of income a year (monthly salary of 2 taels, double pay at the end of the year), and the troops include board and lodging, and they eat very well. The meals have fish and meat. , There are fruits, tea and milk candy, and then distributed to uniforms and sundries, all for free, the twenty-six taels of silver are almost free! They..."
Seeing Zou Weilian looking at him, Lan Bangxian gritted his teeth and said, "Each of them has fifty acres of land, and they don’t have to pay any rent! They can hand it over to others to plant, or the fleet can send someone to help plant it (to get back the cost. )!"
"How can we compare to them! What kind of'non-commissioned officer' system they have. Old senior soldiers who cannot be promoted can be non-commissioned officers, and the income of non-commissioned officers can be compared to that of officers! The salary of officers is higher."
Lan Bangxian told the governor that almost all of the mainland soldiers who served as soldiers in the Southeast Fleet moved their families to Taiwan. It is impossible to threaten them with their families.
Yes, the salary is drawn from the bottom of the pot, Yan Changhu is not old, and he is old enough to do things, Zou Weilian's eyes straightened, giving birth to a serious feeling of powerlessness.
How can I explain this to Long Live Lord!
...
"If you want to deal with Southeast Mansion, it is not impossible!" Mr. Zhong said plainly.
He did not leave Fuzhou, and was engaged in trade with others in Fuzhou. UU read www.uukanshu.com to earn profit income (previously, the income from working in the governor’s office was not as high as doing business. He is familiar with everyone in the southeast government. , Just in time for business.) After Zou Weilian heard about it, he wanted to hire him as his assistant and consulted him.
"Sir, please advise!" Zou Weilian said politely.
"In the opinion of the mountain people! The Southeast Mansion collects water diversion (that is, sea tax). As long as the ship goes to sea, its financial resources are rolling. Therefore, the trade between the mainland and the Southeast Mansion should be completely blocked, and the board is not allowed to go to the sea. Then build warships and train naval officers. Only then can we collect Taiwan!" Mr. Zhong offered advice: "Not only Fujian Province, but the rest of the provinces must do this!"
"How can this be done!" Zou Weilian shook his head with a wry smile!
...
The news spread to Kaohsiung one by one. Chen Zhongji and others all breathed a long sigh of relief and admired Yan Changwu!
Over the years, Yan Changwu has constantly, even ruthlessly, urged them to keep forging ahead, just like someone is chasing him behind, making everyone out of breath.
They have achieved "extraordinary development". For example, the fir in northern Fujian, even if there was enough wood in the shipbuilding plan, they continued to spend money to cut down the wood in northern Fujian, and then they continued to collect population and reclaim wasteland. , The building of the fleet does not stop at any moment. Obviously, there is a lot of income, and it is necessary to borrow money to operate.
He also made friends widely, and formed a consortium with the mainland squire group by virtue of his official status. Once everyone can't make money, he doesn't need him to act. Those "old friends" in the mainland are also "firm patriots." Will do it for him!
Zou Weilian's ups and downs, count him as acquaintance, otherwise it is his brothers from the Donglin Party who killed him!
The hostile forces want to take any action against them and all go bankrupt!
The helpless Governor Zou, see what you can do!
