Chapter 341

Gao Yupu's eyelids twitched, and he bent down and said, "Master, don't you also want to get some Kunlun slaves? When I first came here as an official, I heard people say that the Kunlun slaves with wooden bones are better than the Kunlun slaves in Nanyang." It is easier to control. I heard that it is very hardworking and has great strength. If it is tamed..."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "We can't afford Kunlun slaves who are all wooden."

After a pause, he continued: "Furthermore, how can we do this kind of business of buying and selling people? What I mean is to go to Nanyang to recruit workers."

"what?"

"Recruitment?"

"Ah."

Zuo Fu nodded vigorously, "Jiaozhi (Vietnam) was in a mess by the Zheng and Ruan families, and their monarch was completely a show. From the time of Wanli to the present, the fights stop and stop, and the people suffer unspeakably. Unable to bear the oppression, people fled to Daming.

Now we have enough food, only people are short of work.Now we are temporarily negotiating peace with the Qing people, and His Majesty is the master of action. The world is peaceful, and the people will gradually stabilize their production. How can there be such refugees forever? "

She pursed her lips as she spoke, and said: "Now this intractable place is in the hands of the Qing people. After a few years of cultivation, my Ming Dynasty will definitely be able to rejuvenate. Therefore, it is impossible for us to stretch our hands inward all the time, or You have to figure it out yourself.”

After a pause, he continued: "I heard that the women in Cochin are honest and hardworking, and there are still many people in Qiongzhou who can't get married. If we recruit some women to go on a blind date, it will not only solve the problem of being single, but also increase the population.

Moreover, women are more submissive after all, and it is easier to integrate into another society.When they live a good life here, they will naturally go back to find their fellow villagers. With their introduction, those hard-working and thoughtful men will come to join us. The more disordered the intercourse, the more profitable we will be, so we will stretch out our hands If no one's interests are moved, many impeachments will be avoided by then. "

Cold sweat broke out on Gao Yupu's head.

Although the magistrate's 20 is still not full, right?Why are you thinking so much?This wily man is almost like a fox.

But is this really feasible?What if those people refuse to accept Wang Hua?He voiced his concerns.

Zuo Fu laughed, and said: "Magistrate Gao, have you forgotten that this Jiaozhi used to be called Annan, and it was originally the land of China, a blood brother of the same blood. Now this flesh and blood brother is tossed about by two things that don't have eyes , we help them, do you think they will not accept Wang Hua? Everyone writes Chinese characters, and this one stroke can write two Han families?
Besides, people who are about to starve to death, why would they think so much?This cochin is close to our feelings, so don't worry so much. "

It seems to be the reason.

Gao Yupu nodded, but he felt something strange.After thinking about it, he realized that something was wrong.

The grown-up said he was a brother of flesh and blood, why did his eyes show contempt?

Thinking about it again, he was sweating again.

It's no wonder that my lord can be so important to His Majesty at such a young age, it's really not easy.

Since we went to recruit workers, it was naturally on a voluntary basis.But there must be a reason to do things on other people's land, right?No, seeing that the family of the flesh and blood brothers is not rich, we are short of people, and we don’t want to lose money, so we come here to recruit some brothers and sisters to go back to work...

Perfect excuse!Flawless!With the prestige of the upper kingdom that Daming has brought to Jiaozhi, no one would dare to refuse such a benevolent proposal.

and……

Those people are eager to dump the refugees to Daming, right?

Thinking about it this way makes me a little excited.

Since Zuofu came, this poor Qiongzhou has suddenly become rich.Mrs. Zuo seems to have inexhaustible food, and it is said that she brought high-yielding rice this time.

They have heard reports about this kind of rice from the Di Bao.It's just that due to traffic congestion, this high-yield rice has not been promoted to Qiongzhou after so long.

Now the adults have brought this kind of rice. Given Qiongzhou's climate conditions, the rice can be grown in three varieties a year.And with an output of [-] catties per mu, even if we add up all the Li and Miao people on Qiongzhou Island and feed everyone to death, I am afraid that this much food will not be consumed.

Not to mention other things, Wenchang County now has more than 60 mu of paddy fields that can be cultivated. If all of them are planted with this kind of high-yield rice, it is calculated as 3 catties of grain per person per day, and the output of one season in one county in Wenchang County can feed The entire Qiongzhou for a year and a half!
But unfortunately...

Wenchang did not have so many people farming.

In fact, as far as this point is concerned, many paddy fields are deserted.There are squires in Wenchang, but their family property is no more than that of people in the interior, and the land they own is limited.

Therefore, in Wenchang, many lands are concentrated in the hands of the government.However, the population of Wenchang is decreasing every year, so many official fields have been abandoned.

The more Gao Yupu thought about it, the more painful his heart became.

If there is food in this land, why is Qiongzhou so poor? !This requires more people, just relying on the climate of Qiongzhou, the high-yield rice, and the sea fortress, can't they die? !

His heart became hot, and he said: "My lord, we also have some boats, although they are smaller, but it is no problem to go to Cochin."

He looked at Zuo Fu eagerly, for fear that Zuo Fu would not agree, his eyes seemed to be filled with tears.

Zuo Fu had a chill, turned his head and said: "If the magistrate Gao is willing to do this, when Liu Baihu comes back, I can also lend you my two big blessing boats. But there is one thing, they must come voluntarily. Otherwise, if we get a bunch of unwilling ones and take the opportunity to cause chaos, we won't have to try."

"Nature, nature, it's nature."

Gao Yupu said with a righteous face: "Our Daming is a state of etiquette. As an official of Daming, how can I do such things as waiting for a flower? Naturally, it is up to you to do what you want."

Zuo Fu nodded, "It's good if you understand. These clothes, two pieces for each child, you can have someone take them to the workshop head and let them distribute them. Tell them, two pieces for each child, if I find them when I inspect Someone has tampered with it, hehe..."

She sneered and said: "I will let him know why the flowers are so popular!"

Gao Yupu shook his head again and again, "Don't worry, my lord, the local gentry is quite simple and won't do such things, and the subordinate officials will definitely supervise them."

"Report!"

Zhang Ming's voice came from outside, "Miss, Li Xiang is back! He has also captured about forty Japanese pirates!"

Zhang Ming came in excitedly, and said excitedly: "I checked everything, and they are all real Japanese! Li Xiang also killed a dozen Japanese!"

"Oh?!"

Zuo Fu immediately said: "Where is the man?!"

"Just outside the city!"

"Oh, this is an unprecedented victory!"

Gao Yupu couldn't help but said, "My lord, let's go and have a look! This is going to be reported, but it's a great achievement!"

 The update is complete, ask for a recommendation ticket!
