The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 463

The Huang family's army entered the city to take over every city, and of course all of them were under military control for a short time.

The common people didn't feel anything about the change of owner of the city, and their life was the same, but they immediately found that life would be much easier, because everyone got a lot of job opportunities with good pay.

Every prefecture and county in Hainan Island is recruiting strong laborers on a large scale. They offer generous conditions such as food and housing, [-] renminbi a day and back money. They hire a large number of manpower. Even healthy women are paid [-] renminbi a day. The specific tasks are road repairs, bridges, build reservoirs, excavate and dredge rivers, make brick embryos, transport ore, etc.

The common people who heard that Hainan Island was attacked by pirates felt at a loss, but suddenly felt that the current world was reversed. In the fish and meat township of the government, the pirates were doing good deeds and did not pay for food.

Why do people say that it was pirates who captured Qiongzhou?Are there such good pirates in the world?They are much more friendly than the officials and lords of the Ming Dynasty, and they only do such good things as building bridges and paving roads.

Soon the common people knew about a man, Huang Sheng, the Marquis of Nan'an in the Ming Dynasty. It turned out that King Guo, the pirate leader, was forced by the reputation of the champion of war, and chose to accept the recruitment, and he surrendered a long time ago.

Hainan Island is isolated overseas, the Huang family blocked the Qiongzhou Strait with the navy, and then implemented the Baojia joint defense system on the island. The imperial court could not get the situation here. People's hearts?
The Huang family had enough money and food, and this time they came prepared with sufficient supplies, so they will not collect any exorbitant taxes in Hainan Island for the time being.

In fact, Hainan is too poor. In the absence of a large amount of investment, relying on the current state to provide taxes can only force the common people into desperation. Even so, they cannot collect three melons and two dates.

How can the Huang family see the bloody taxes obtained by exploiting the common people, and generously exempt the entire Qiongzhou government from money and food for three years.

In the past, the tax-exempt people in the imperial court could not get any benefits at all. If the officials and servants were too happy, they would burst out with infinite enthusiasm to urge them to pay taxes, because how much they collected meant how much they could divide privately.

Not now, in Hainan Island, which is under military control, all the old officials and servants have become laborers, getting paid according to their work just like ordinary people in Shengdou.

The Huang family bought back the land of the landlords in Yurou Township, confiscated the property owned by the bullies and local tyrants who were extremely angry with the people, and improved the infrastructure of some cities in Hainan Island.

The terrain of Hainan Island is high in the middle and low in the surrounding areas. Most of the relatively large rivers originate in the central mountainous area, forming a radial water system. Therefore, it is common for some of the rivers here to flow westward. There are more than 100 rivers that flow into the sea independently on the island.

Building reservoirs to store fresh water into the sea can not only ensure the harvest in drought and flood, but also use the drop to provide power for hydraulic machines such as hydraulic pulverizers and forging hammers. Using the drop of water to flood the rice fields is also faster and more economical.

Such a huge investment would cost too much real money!It doesn't matter, Huang Sheng doesn't keep a penny of money outside his body, invests and invests again, even if he doesn't have enough money to be in debt, he must do his best to develop.

Hainan Island went down without any effort, and Huang Dongshan stayed behind to coordinate and command. Huang Mingli returned with more than half of the navy and all the cargo ships. They will return soon, and there will be a lot of supplies, equipment and 10,000 people. + Population sent.

How many people are there in Hainan Island, not even the Huang family immigrants?Without accurate official statistics, Huang Dongshan estimated that even the mountain people would not exceed 70.

How to deal with too many mountain people who do not accept Wang Hua in the mountains? "Under the whole world, is it the king's land, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers."

There is no specialization in the Huang family system, and everyone is given a chance to adapt to the management of the Huang family. Harmful sheep will never be tolerated. The principle of fairness is always held here, no matter who it is, it is a standard of law.

This is Huang Sheng's strong side. He will not bully foreign nationalities, and of course he will not spoil them. He must thoroughly integrate nationalities spiritually and culturally.

Huang Dongshan began to encroach on the central mountainous area. He had a way to form more than a dozen armed working groups with 100 mountain infantry, 100 musketeers and 20 local guides who could speak the language.

Tasks: Go to the mountain to check the household registration, survey and map the mountains and rivers and landforms to make a detailed map of Hainan Island, make a sand table of the topography and landforms around the cottages with more than 500 armed people in the main Li nationality settlements, and provide enough money and food to recruit laborers to repair and reach each mountain settlement. easy road.

For the time being, the private soldiers of the Huang family will not clash violently with the soldiers and civilians of the Li nationality, and adopt a soft policy, giving them gifts to reduce the resistance of the Li people, creating opportunities for the Huang family to get closer.

This is the most important one. Only by getting close to the areas inhabited by foreign nationalities can we understand the people's conditions and divide and rule.Even if you are full of wit and wit, you can do nothing if people are far away from you!
The simplest gift for mountain people, a catty of salt is enough to make them grateful.

Although the Huang family occupies several islands, they do not produce much salt at all, because the work is labor-intensive and the gold content is too low. The Huang family used to have insufficient labor, so there was no large-scale construction of salt fields to dry salt.

The salt in Daming was so expensive that many poor people couldn't afford it. Why do people think that the profiteering salt industry has too little gold content?
Because ordinary people actually paid a high salt tax when they bought salt to eat. This is a feudal dynasty!The salt tax was the lifeblood of the country.

The salt produced by Daming is enough to supply the market, but the salt without Yanyin is illegal salt, and the amount provided by Yanyin may not be able to meet the needs of one-third of the people of Daming.

In the Ming Dynasty, if you sold a load of illegal salt, you might be caught and beheaded if you were serious, but it would be no problem to transport a boatload of illegal salt for sale.

What's the point?hey-hey!This is the reason why those who steal the country should be punished by those who steal the hook.All the boats that traffic in smuggled salt are princes, grandsons, nobles and officials, of course they are not guilty.

The Huang family does not sell private salt and compete with bureaucratic capital for their vested interests, but they also go directly to Yancheng to ship the salt to the people in the system according to the plan.

The salt workers in the salt fields in Yancheng, of course, rely on salt for food. They are salt producers, and they belong to hereditary families. Every family is so poor that they can hardly afford to wear trousers. Too many people work naked.

The salt workers who have worked all day have completed the delivery of salt quotations, and the remaining disposable salt is enough to earn [-]% of the profit by throwing away the labor cost.

It's a pity that private salt is monopolized by bureaucratic capital, but it's not up to them. Offended salt merchants don't buy the salt produced by their salt farms, and the sweat of the salt workers will be wasted. They don't have the ability to smuggle salt out.

Why do producers get no benefits at all?That's right, those who are all over the place are either silkworm farmers or the status quo of the feudal dynasty. There is no concept of equality here, on the contrary, there is strict hierarchy here.

The Yan Ding in the salt field has no big customers at all.The Huang family is a maverick, coming from the sea, it is a lawless existence, who dares to stop the boat for inspection?It has always been the Huang family who checks whether other people's merchant ships are entrained.Who dares to stroke the beard of the Huang family's tiger?

A powerful family like the Huang family only bullies the strong and never bullies the common people. They pay higher prices than other officials and lords when they come to buy salt, and those who can get [-]% of the profit all bow and bow and serve carefully.

Workers in the Huangsheng system are all paid high wages. If they really dry the salt themselves, the cost price of the product may be much higher than that of buying it directly in Yancheng.

Therefore, Huang Shengli used the convenience of sea transportation to go directly to several government-run salt farms to buy salt. He did not want to produce it himself, and he did not engage in the business of selling private salt to avoid offending a large amount of bureaucratic capital.

Development is the last word. In the process of development and growth, it is not necessary to have thorns all over the body. Only the road of win-win cooperation can last long. It is not too hasty to transform Ming Dynasty, and it must be done step by step with the growth of strength.
