I really don't want to be emperor at the end of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 203 Harmonious Coexistence and Win-Win Cooperation
Chapter 202

Cheng Shijie's biggest advantage is that he will not be restricted.

In name, Liaodong is the Liaodong of the Ming Dynasty. In fact, whether it is the Ming court or Emperor Chongzhen, their influence on Liaodong is very limited.

Although Liaodong was brought down by Cheng Shijie, because there is no local gentry class in Liaodong, there is no local gentry class to stumbling Cheng Shijie, and Cheng Shijie, the Duke of Haiguo, has various privileges in Liaodong.

No matter whether it was legislation or the introduction of any regulations, Cheng Shijie didn't need to ask anyone for instructions, at most, he just kept Liaodong as belonging to Daming in name.

In Liaodong, the director of the General Administration of Taxation is Yang Yunniang, who holds Liaodong's money bag in one hand and Liaodong's tax revenue in the other.But on all of Cheng Shijie's problems, Yang Yunniang will definitely not create obstacles.

In this regard, Yang Yunniang is very clear about her position. She was originally an insignificant little woman, but because she met Cheng Shijie, her fate changed.It was Cheng Shijie who made her, not Yang Yunniang who made Cheng Shijie.

On this point, Yang Yuniang made a very clear distinction.She also knew it very thoroughly. Cheng Shijie could pick her up as the president of the bank, the director of the General Administration of Taxation, or let other people take this position. In fact, there are countless people in Liaodong who are willing to work for Cheng Shijie.

The nineteen members of the Liaodong Management Committee (added by Yang Qingyun on behalf of the health system) Song Xiance, Lin Xuzong, Chen Guodong, Zhou Yandong, Shen Mingyu, Zhang Yu, Zhao Wencai, Shen Shikui, Li Zhixiang, Yuan Shiliang, including Jin Qiaoer, Xie Zongze, Xie Jinglin and Zhang Huaize are both Cheng Shijie's people, not Cheng Shijie's people. Only Chen Zilong, Song Yingxing, Fang Yizhi and Yang Qingyun are not Cheng Shijie's hardcore.

Cheng Shijie kept the four-member opposition group as catfish for these committee members. With these four members, the members of the management committee will consider more comprehensively when doing things.

While Zhu Weiti and others were having a picnic by the Yulong River in Xinghai City, Cheng Shijie wrote down three items. The first one was about the protection of children in Liaodong.

For many parents in Ming Dynasty, according to the standards of later generations, they are actually unqualified, especially those parents who have daughters or have many daughters. When they encounter difficulties, the first natural thought is to sell Girl, if you are lucky, you can be sold to a rich family as a maid.

If they can become concubines, they are considered to be doing well. The most pitiful ones are those girls who are sold to brothels, and their lives are completely ruined. What's more, they are trained to be skinny horses.

Of course, the son will also be sold, but this is the last way, that is to say, there is no way out for oneself, and selling the son is also to let the son live. Generally, when selling the son, it is their own death.

In ancient times, it was difficult to describe a person, and it would be said that selling a son and selling a daughter, but the problem is that the nature and purpose of selling a son and selling a daughter are different.

Before the 90s and even now, laws in many rural areas have not been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and have not been integrated into China's rural society.The rules that make people obey are not people's legal concepts, but the ethical and moral concepts formed in rural society.

Chinese law is imported and transplanted from foreign countries. It has no root in Chinese society and tends to grow crooked. Secondly, there are really smart people, and there are still too few wise people.There are too many fools, and too many ignorant people.

Cheng Shijie remembers very clearly that in later generations, a certain Jing conducted a very famous public opinion control called "Under the Sky", but in the end he gained a large number of idiot followers in China.According to some Jing's wonderful logic: "Your China is very backward, you should reduce emissions!" "Mothers who smoke smog have tumors in their fetuses", "From 1960 to 1970, in the first ten years of pollution control in the UK, not only did the economy not regress, but the GDP Instead, it doubled."

Anyone who has a brain should not believe in Mou Jing. This guy is a well-known public figure who has been bribed. He even openly thanked the "American Ford Foundation" at the end of the film. Of course, many people have done things like shooting themselves in the foot. , Under the operation of a certain Jing, the common people were cheated miserably.

The construction of the rule of law should end with the national conditions, rather than blindly study. Of course, the legislative work of the "Liaodong Minors Protection Law" is not just what Cheng Shijie said, and he may not be objective and emotional when considering issues. Therefore, he can decide whether to enact this law, but how to enact it depends on accepting the opinions of the general public.

That is to say, let the Liaodong Management Committee, from Lushun, Haizhou, Jinzhou, Fuzhou and other places, select people with healthy parents and full children and grandchildren as representatives, and then organize everyone to discuss.This representative must not be determined according to cultural level and status, but depends on class, occupation, and place of origin.

In addition to the legislative work of the "Liaodong Minor Protection Law", the second is the directly promulgated law "Liaodong Prohibition of Foot Binding". This article does not need to be argued, but is a law that reflects Cheng Shijie's will. Cheng Shijie directly stipulates that for one year Women who do not let go will be fined.

Of course, although Cheng Shijie's accumulative method is indeed likely to punish the richest people, the problem is that this time is too slow, so correct the mistake in time and increase it tenfold.In the first year, the fine was ten taels of silver, in the second year it was 20 taels, and in the third year it was fined 40 taels of silver...

Anyway, ordinary people don’t bind their feet because they need to work. In the Ming Dynasty, only daughters of wealthy families who didn’t need to work would bind their feet. Of course, not all daughters of wealthy families would bind their feet. At least Cheng Shijie had seen it Miss Xu Si, her feet are about eight inches by visual estimation, which can be regarded as big feet in later generations.

Considering that nowadays, Liaodong is facing a serious shortage of teachers, followed by insufficient funds.

But the problem is that education is the top priority of future development. Even if you lose your underwear, you still need to do what you should do.The second is the issue of strategic grain reserves.

In the Ming Dynasty, food was life, and it can be seen that this year, more than [-] million mu of land in southern Liaoning will be reclaimed. As long as it lasts until the autumn harvest, Eastern Liao will have enough food to accommodate more refugees and ordinary people. It will make the development of Liaodong enter a virtuous circle.

In this regard, there is no mature way to learn from it. It is foreseeable that the food in southern Liaoning will be mainly potatoes, corn and sweet potatoes. Of course, sweet potatoes can also be sent to the south of the Yangtze River in exchange for high-quality rice.This requires a large number of ships, as well as large sea-going ships.

Lushun Shipyard is actually manufacturing a large-scale sea-going ship with [-] materials, but it is found that the keel is deformed during the keel laying stage, and the problem is being solved.

It seems that development needs to be done step by step, and we cannot eat a fat man in one go.

Just when Cheng Shijie was preparing to publish the "Liaodong Minor Protection Law", "Liaodong Women's Regulations on Prohibition of Footbinding", and "Trial Draft on Liaodong Compulsory Education".

Xie Jinglin discovered a very surprising question.

North Koreans do not know Musan Iron Mine, and Musan Iron Mine has not been discovered by North Korea, and North Korea does not attach importance to this area.It is estimated that the royal family of North Korea does not know how big Musan is and what it has.

Upon learning of this situation, Xie Jinglin immediately revised his original plan of action and decided to purchase Xianning North Road as the residential area for Ning Haijun's family members.

On April [-]th, the sixth year of Chongzhen, Xie Jinglin formally met with the King of Korea, Li Ji.

Li Ji is a king who relied on a coup to ascend to power. He was originally the nephew of Li Hun, Lord of Guanghai. Li Shu and Shen Jingzhen (uncle Li Ji's cousin) decided to launch a coup to overthrow Mr. Guanghai.

On the night of March [-]th in the third year of Apocalypse, the coup plan was officially launched. After the coup was successful, Li Yu ascended the throne and amnesty the territory.

Immediately after "Anyway", Li Qing sent Li Qingquan to the Ming Dynasty to inform him about "Anyway", and asked the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to canonize him as the king of Korea;

With the entreaties of North Korean envoys and the help of Mao Wenlong, a Ming general stationed in Kui Island (Phi Island) in North Korea, the Ming Dynasty decided to approve Renzu's canonization based on the strategic consideration of "linking with Korea to control slavery".On April 1624th in the fourth year of the Apocalypse ([-]), Renzu received the imperial decree from Emperor Xizong of the Ming Dynasty from the envoys returning to the country. Domestic legitimacy has also been confirmed.

Li Ji is a pro-Ming faction, so after the victory in Haizhou, he immediately congratulated Emperor Chongzhen and participated in the ceremony of offering captives held in December of the fifth year of Chongzhen.

Although Xie Jinglin's status was not high, he came to North Korea on behalf of Cheng Shijie, so he received warm hospitality from Li Zhen.

During the dinner on April [-], Li Jing proposed to Xie Jinglin that since the establishment of slaves was imminent in the near future, he hoped to ask Cheng Shijie, governor of Liaodong, to reinforce North Korea.

The so-called Jiannu cavalry was just about to move, but the Jiannu cavalry under Hu Erqi's command were galloping along the Yalu River and Tumen River. This fake action frightened Li Zhen.Don't look at how easy it is for the Ming army to fight slavery, but the problem is that the North Korean army is too good.

It is simply the five scum of war, Li Zhen really lacks a sense of security.

Xie Jinglin reasoned: "It's not impossible to increase troops in North Korea, it's just inconvenient! Let Ning Navy officers and men live in North Korea, Ning Navy officers and men will be homesick, and troubles will inevitably arise. Mr. Cheng plans to increase the total number of troops stationed in North Korea to 1. But the problem is that once the families of these soldiers join the army, there will be 6 to [-] people, and the pressure on logistics supplies will be too great."

What Xie Jinglin said was true. After all, there is almost no autumn in Liaodong. Once autumn comes, the temperature may drop sharply anytime and anywhere. Even snow in September is a normal phenomenon. Once it snows, it is impossible to transfer food.Summer is easy, but the problem is that there is no food in summer.

There was a big battle last year, Liaodong, which was not rich before, is now very tight in grain storage, and now Cheng Shijie is still buying grain from Jiangnan.

Li Yu also felt that what Xie Jinglin said was true. If North Korea were to bear the supply of the Ning Navy, an army of 1 troops would be able to afford it.No matter how bad North Korea is, it is not a small country, with a population of tens of millions.

But the problem is that Jia is a family member of the army, so it is a bit big as a bucket. North Korea has a lot of land, but the problem is that the area of ​​cultivated land is not much, and North Korea has to support its own army.

Li Jing was a little anxious.

However, Yin Jin, the governor of Seoul, pointed out that he was an experienced official, and he heard the hidden meaning from Xie Jinglin's words. It is difficult, but it does not mean that it cannot be done.

Jin Zizhi pulled Xie Jinglin and asked: "Mr. Xie, how can the Celestial Army rush to help?"

Xie Jinglin said: "Unless there is another way!"

"In what way?"

Xie Jinglin pointed to the topography of the Yalu River and Tumen River and said: "This is the border between Ming Dynasty and North Korea. If we set up one or two guards here and distribute the land to the soldiers of the guards to garrison the fields, we will not have to burden the soldiers. It can also be used as a defense against slavery, wouldn’t it kill two birds with one stone?”

Jin Zidian also felt that this suggestion was good: "I don't know where Mr. Xie thinks it will be the guard of the Chinese army?"

Xie Jinglin didn't ask for Mushan for the first time, but Mingchuan County on the map. Of course, the so-called county in North Korea is roughly equivalent to the county of Daming.

Except for some mountainous areas in the central and western parts of Mingchuan County, most of the area is the alluvial plains of Mingjianchuan and Yulangchuan, with almost 400 million mu of cultivated land.

Jin Zi nodded and shook his head, "Not here!"

Li Jing doesn't even have much impression of North Hamgyong Province. His biggest impression is that North Hamgyong Province has many mountains and almost no flat land.

Finally, after discussions between the North Korean monarchs and ministers, they decided to give Maoshan to Cheng Shijie.

But the problem is, Xie Jinglin disagrees: "Your Majesty, as the sovereign state, Daming will never take advantage of the vassal state, although Huining, Qingyuan, Zhongcheng, Qingxing, Wencheng, Funing, Shanqian and There are eight towns in total in Musan Town, as well as Phi Island and Jeju Island, but the land of North Korea cannot be taken for nothing by Ming.”

"Or give it to me with eight taels of silver!"

Li Zhen's idea is that with Daming in the north blocking Jiannu, he can sleep in peace. If the Japanese pirates from the south come again, Da Ming's father will clean up the little dwarfs.

Xie Jinglin shook his head and said: "Eight liang of silver is too little, it will make people in the world see Daming's jokes, otherwise, 1 liang of silver per land, a total of 10 liang of silver is considered to be bought by Hai Guogong for use Settle the officers and men of the Ning Navy!"

In this way, Xie Jinglin spent 10 taels of silver to buy the eight towns of North Korea, including Huining, Qingyuan, Zhongcheng, Qingxing, Wencheng, Funing, Shanqian, and Maoshan, totaling more than [-]. square kilometers of land.

Yes, that’s right, it’s 10 taels of silver. If it’s a little expensive to spend 1 taels of silver on Phi Island, then Jeju Island and Musan are too cheap.

The two parties officially signed an agreement, and Cheng Shijie officially became the owner of Phi Island and Jeju Island, and these eight towns also became Cheng Shijie's private territory.

Of course, the 10 taels of silver were not paid directly to North Korea in silver, but in weapons and equipment, but the price of these equipment was very low.

For example, the actual cost of a long gun was more than four taels of silver, so it was sold for five taels of silver, a total of one thousand pieces. In addition, there were three taels of silver for a horizontal knife, a total of one thousand horizontal knives.Cheng Shijie also generously gave Li Ji, the vassal king, a thousand sets of armor, and equipped North Korea with an army of 3000 people.

……

If it is really said, many people will not believe it. North Korea has more than 80.00 kinds of minerals, especially in later generations of North Korea, whose mineral resources account for [-]% of its mineral resources.

North Korea has the world's largest reserves of rare earth deposits, which is expected to double the current global known rare earth oxide resources.At the same time, North Korea’s magnesite reserves rank first in the world, and the top ten minerals include tungsten, molybdenum, graphite, barite, fluorite, etc., and iron ore reserves are also among the top ten in the world, ranking first in Asia .In addition, North Korea has been known as a "gold-producing country" since ancient times, and gold often coexists with silver, copper and other ores.

Unexpectedly, North Korea is actually a born local tyrant, who owns mines.On the contrary, although South Korea has more arable land than North Korea, its mineral resources are less than one-seventh of that of North Korea.

The Maoshan Iron Mine is the largest iron mine in Asia. The largest iron mine was originally located in Dataigou, Qiaotou Town, Benxi City, Liaoning Province. However, the Maoshan Iron Mine has a prospective reserve of 50 billion tons.More importantly, 20.00% of this huge iron mine is open pit.The underground part is 70.00% II.

Without Cheng Shijie, the Maoshan Iron Mine would have been discovered in the 30s, that is, more than 300 years later.

The problem is that this is an open-pit iron mine, which means that the actual population of Maoshan is not large, otherwise it would have been discovered long ago.

As the agreement officially came into effect on April [-], the sixth year of Chongzhen.

At the same time, Cheng Shijie sent a team of more than [-] engineering and technical personnel to Maoshan, including [-] engineering and [-] households at any time.

Cheng Shijie disliked those European colonists very much. Their behavior was too simple and rude. Regarding this point, Cheng Shijie did more moderately.

Along with the Engineering Hundred Households Institute and technicians, there was a convoy of about [-] people. This convoy was veterans of the Ning Navy. A finger, or a toe, after all, the battle between Ning Haijun and Jiannu took place in winter, and too many soldiers were frostbitten.

North Korea saw that Cheng Shijie did what he said, and immediately sent 6000 people to Musan, and put his heart in his stomach.

As for how to develop Musan, Cheng Shijie positions Musan as the steel capital of the future. Musan not only has iron ore, but also coal in Onsong. The natural conditions for steelmaking are already in place.

With the control of these eight towns, Shuangchengwei also began to expand, connecting with Maoshan in the south, and can be attacked and defended. Of course, at the current stage, Liaodong is also very scarce in human resources. To develop Maoshan, it is far from Do not open the help of the North Koreans.

"Want to have a full meal?"

"miss you!"

"Then give us a job at the Shuangcheng Development Group. There are fresh fruits, sweet milk, delicious steamed buns, and delicious dishes here!"

Although the Shuangcheng Development Group also holds knives and guns, the well-dressed, tall and mighty Ning Navy soldiers are typical images of imperialism.

The North Koreans are very poor, the local agricultural planting technology is backward, and the grain output is extremely low, coupled with the excessive collection by the government of the Kingdom of Korea, the life of ordinary North Koreans is not easy.

The Ning Haijun Shuangcheng Development Group did not directly send money in Mushan. In this place, whether the money is useful or not, the North Korean workers work for the Shuangcheng Development Group. Their daily salary is food, food or salt, cloth and other things. Various supplies.

Working for the Shuangcheng Development Group, the income they get is far more than their original farming or hunting. Of course, the prey obtained by the Koreans from hunting can also be sold directly to the Shuangcheng Group. In addition to the prey, there are also local specialty wild ginseng. Medicinal materials and so on.

Thanks to the hard work of North Korean workers, a simple and huge temporary camp is being erected, with tents that can be quickly set up and fences around the camp.

Gradually, the wooden fence of the camp turned into a stone wall, and the stone wall turned into a city wall, and the original small town gradually turned into a magnificent city.

What the Daming Shuangcheng Development Group brought to Maoshan was not only materials, but also living habits. For example, get up every morning, wash your face and brush your teeth, then eat breakfast, and drink some tea in the afternoon.

The development work of the Shuangcheng Development Group in Maoshan began to develop rapidly. The Ming people and the Koreans got along very harmoniously. The guards of the Shuangcheng Development Group are not like the colonial army. They have strict military discipline and cannot mess around. .

Then the Maoshan Wharf, roads, and post stations on the Tumen River gradually appeared...

North Koreans do not dislike Daming people, but envy them very much. As for the interests of Shuangcheng Development Group in North Korea, Cheng Shijie is not worried at all, because the eight bureaus have a total of more than 5000 garrisons. Of course, if Phi Island and Jeju are included The garrison on the island, the number of this garrison is nearly [-] people.

If the [-] elite Ning navy officers and men cannot guarantee Cheng Shijie's interests, it is time for Cheng Shijie to reflect on himself.

The core of harmonious coexistence and win-win cooperation is the most important thing. In this way, both sides benefit. The Ning Navy can guarantee the security of North Korea's border, and the local people also have the opportunity to work and get material compensation.

At this time, Maoshan has actually become a huge construction site, the residential community of the employees of the Shuangcheng Development Group, the barracks of the guards, the logistics camp of the exploration team, the temporary barracks of the workers of the engineering [-] households, and around the docks and ports. A huge warehouse.

At this time, the warehouse was filled with grain, various tools and daily necessities from Liaodong.Maoshan City is still divided into four parts: the management area of ​​the management committee and the living area, the military area, and the commercial area. The management area of ​​the management committee includes military camps, warehouses, and office areas. The living area is still the traditional two-story brick building of the Ming Dynasty. .

The current Maoshan City has about [-] Ming Dynasty people living here. The city is ten times larger than the original Maoshan Town. The most important thing is the road. One road is built and then another road is built. These are wide and flat. The road is something North Koreans have never seen before. In fact, not many Daming people have seen this kind of road.

This is the cement road.
