Become the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Chongzhen!

Chapter 683 Eating Meat
Upper Uginsk was ceded to Black Flag.

Although this place was originally occupied by the black flag.

In addition, the land south of Lake Baikal was also assigned to the black flag, and the two countries used Irkutsk as the boundary, and the land east of Lake Baikal was also assigned to the black flag.

It can be regarded as swallowing one's anger.

"Very nice but what if I want Irkutsk Castle?"

So Zhu Youjian naturally wants to make an inch.

After all, it is the truth to make progress these days, it is the way of a powerful empire, and it is the routine operation of the empire in the era of great change.

Even if there are internal and external troubles.

I also have to try my best to bite the flesh and grow myself.

The stage of growing the body.

We must lay a good foundation.

Black Flag's colonial war is in full swing.

The four islands are adapting to the rule of the black flag, completely becoming a part of the legal system of the Central Plains dynasty, and can no longer exist as a vassal state or a tributary state.

North Korea is similar.

After the weak resistance of the North Korean army, the only ones still resisting the black flag were some small local forces. The bandits and pirates in the mountains raised the flag of righteousness at this time, shouting the name of the Ming Dynasty loudly, claiming to be Ming officials identity dies.

I look forward to Daming coming to rebuild North Korea as soon as possible.

However, the local gentry and literati discovered that they knew Sinology, and they instantly became the most educated group of people in the Liaodong area after being informed of Chinese characters. The imperial examinations in the three major provinces of Liaodong were like a joke to them.

So even though they claimed that they were ministers of the Ming Dynasty, quite a number of literati joined the Black Banner, and the local clans also sent their children to the Black Banner court.

And the black flag policy is also spreading rapidly in North Korea.

The most influential thing is the official registration of the slave population by the Slave Department. After a simple questioning of most slaves, as long as they have not committed crimes or killed others, they are only registered as second-class slaves at the last time, and most of them are registered as slaves. For first-class slaves.

And when these slave families were told that they had the hope of becoming free men, they were terrified at first.

Weeping and telling the officials that they ate less, slept less, worked much less, and hoped that the master of the black flag would never allow them to be released from slavery, because they could not live without the master.

But later they found out that the black flag was real.

A free man is a free man.

There is no shortage of status and status that one should have. After making some small achievements and becoming a citizen, he can get a few acres of dry land, or apply to the government to go to Liaodong to open up wasteland and become a tenant on the farm.

For North Korea, which has been slaves for generations and has a large slave population, the Black Flag Qing Dynasty became the savior in an instant.

In addition, there are a large number of Koreans who have entered the banner in Liaodong. Among the black banners, the Han, Mongols, and Koreans can barely be said to be three pillars. With the four islands being pacified, the Japanese also accounted for a considerable part of the population of the black banner. Compare.

After the innovation of production technology, manpower and territory will make a country burst into powerful power rapidly.

Ming Dynasty was also fighting a colonial war.

And Daming also tasted the taste of flesh and blood.

Not just the flesh and blood of the people of Ming Dynasty.

It is barbarians, savages, the flesh and blood of natives.

Heiqi Daqing sells a lot of goods in front of Ming Dynasty, and does not make any reservations about various production tools and production techniques. As long as merchants want to buy them, Heiqi Daqing dares to sell them.

Animal power harvesters, exquisite watches, perfected and mass-produced bicycles with transmissions, and even railway-related technologies were 'probed' by the 'Jin Yiwei' and placed on Emperor Longwu's desk.

All these things stimulated the productivity of the people of Ming Dynasty.

Exported by the black flag, coupled with Wang Chengen's previous promotion, new crops have also settled in Daming, and the planting volume has increased year by year.

Although the court of the Ming Dynasty could not collect money, the people were a little richer.

The common people may not feel it very much, they just feel that there are more new gadgets and more food tricks, but the gentlemen are indeed rich.

Civil power is also power.

Newspapers are getting bigger and bigger, and they are arriving as scheduled. The weekly magazine is now the only one, and it is the most popular in the entire Ming Dynasty, and it is an in-demand reading that almost everyone does not want to miss.

Everyone points to these messages from afar or from corners they can't see for entertainment and to remind themselves.

New Years just passed.

The two weekly magazines are all about Luzon Island, and the gentry and common people of Ming Dynasty are also willing to read this.

The first issue wrote about the fact that Luzon was invaded by the Spanish red-haired barbarians for many years, and Luzon was destroyed because of this, and did not pay tribute to Ming Dynasty. It also roughly said a few words about the situation in Spain and what the Spanish have done in East Asia these years .

Under the provocative writing, Nanjing set off a campaign of hatred against foreigners, which made many missionaries in Nanjing dare not go out these days.

The title of today's second issue is very explosive at first glance.

"Gold is everywhere! The gold hidden in Luzon is dozens of times that of Ming Dynasty!"

It's hard to take your eyes off just by looking at it.

As soon as the lecturer read out a title, all the guests were already so startled that they couldn't sit still, their eyes widened and they shouted loudly.

"Quick, quick, quick! Tell me what's going on?"

"How much gold is there!? How much gold does my Ming Dynasty have in a year? Ten times!? How much does Luzon have!?"

"Can it produce more gold than the gold mines of the barbarians in the north!?"

"Then did you take it down?"

Of course, this statement is pure nonsense.

China's gold reserves are quite large, and the gap with Luzon cannot be ten times larger.

But it also depends on the times and technology.

China's gold mines mainly have too many associated mines, too complicated, difficult and troublesome to collect, and these years the exploration technology and mining technology are here, the mining cost is high, and the output of precious metals is not large, so that the precious metals of the Ming and Qing dynasties Metals are mostly imported from Japan.

But you don't need to know that to incite emotion.

You Shoulong stood on the street, surrounded by a few green-skinned guards, Master Tiger's name is now resounding in Nanjing, and anyone in the market who sees it will give him three points.

And he looked at the aroused greed in the eyes of those people surrounded by the newspaper van, and nodded very satisfied.

Everything is going according to the regulations given by His Majesty.

Right now, it's getting better.

The people on the streets of Shijin are even greedy because of gold.

The gentry and literati, Donglin Zhongzheng, and Emperor Longwu only covered their faces. Their greedy faces hidden in the dark are uglier than these ordinary people.

In particular, the first batch of gold and silver properties plundered by overseas Nanyang companies have all been sent to the capital as the output of the Luzon gold and silver mines.

280 million taels of silver, 10 taels of gold, and in addition to that, there are also treasures "presented" by the local leaders from all over Luzon.

All must be stuffed into Emperor Longwu's private treasury.

The moment this man, who grew up poor, got the news, his legs were weak and he couldn't stand up, and his speech trembled.

Cash, cash.

Daming’s tax money was intangible, and it was gone before it was in hand.

But this time, the real gold and silver treasures were packed in the big ship, and they went straight to Nanjing under the escort of the Nanyang Navy!
