Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 386 I'm Desperate Too
A group of state and county lords and technocrats gathered in front of the magistrate's yamen, seeing that there was still no movement, the anger in their hearts was accumulating more and more!

What is this called? !
On weekdays, you tell us that you want to be cattle and horses for the common people. We are really working hard, so you hide? !In the end how to get also give an explanation!
Seeing that no one answered the door, a group of angry people simply sat down at the door, assuming that Zuo Fu would not leave unless he came out today.

Zuo Gui ran into the magistrate's house, panting, "Miss, it's too late! It's true now, if you don't give an explanation, they might be able to demolish this place!"

"What can I do?!"

Zuo Fu also said a little angrily: "There are many people who have fallen in the north. I propose to use money to buy people in the north. They say it is insulting to the country and they are afraid of attracting wrongdoers. What about the people who attract North Korea's Annan? They say it is not me." The minds of races must be different, and foreigners should not be cited.

This won't work, that won't work, where do you want me to find someone? !The number of people who can be drawn in Guangdong, Guangxi and Guangxi has been almost drawn by us in the past few years, and officials in Guangdong, Guangxi and other states will quit!Although the population has increased in the past two years, it will take time to grow into young adults.In order to cope with the labor shortage, I made almost all the widows in Guangdong and Guangxi, and no one really smoked for us. "

Zuo Fu looked desperate, "Fuzhou and Zhejiang have also sent us a lot of refugees, but other places are not bad. How can there be so many refugees for us?"

"If you want me to say, we should sail north and go directly to the north to grab it!"

Li Xiang said viciously: "I have nothing to say to these pedantic scholars! And even if the higher-ups agree, can the Tartars give us people? We spend two or two yuan per person, but they can squeeze out more! Why don't we open the door?" Go to the boat to grab it, the artillery of the Tartars is vulnerable! How can it be as powerful as our Type 49 cannon! Let's go over there and fight first, and then take advantage of the chaos to go in and snatch people..."

"If it was as simple as you said, I would have done it a long time ago."

Zuo Fu rolled his eyes and said: "Then Dorgon died two years ago, but Yu Wei is still there. He made a rule that the Man-Han family should not force the Han people to shave their hair and change clothes. As long as this rule is still followed, Then we were basically unpopular in the past.”

She let out a long sigh, "This Dorgon is considered an outstanding man of his generation. When he went south, he advocated shaving his hair and changing his clothes, but when he saw that the war situation was not going well, he immediately abolished this rule, so that the hearts of the people who fell in the Northland became more stable. Even before he died, he abolished a series of laws against the Han people, and now in the hearts of the Han people in the north, I am afraid that the Qing Dynasty has been recognized as orthodox."

"how come?!"

Li Xiang exclaimed, "How many of us did they kill?! How could it be so easy..."

"Why not?"

Zuo Fudao: "You haven't followed me. When you learn my scientific method, you can know the nation and the country? At that time, you only knew the family country but not the country. Many people in the Northland and our Ming Dynasty still have the concept of family country. What? The concept of family country? It is a country of one family, not a country of people.

Since the records of history, the position of the Lord of the World has taken turns. For many people, it is just another person to be the emperor.If the Tartars of the Yuan Dynasty had learned the tricks of the Qing people, they would not have been driven back to the grassland after only playing for decades.The people only want a stable life without war, and the Qing people can give them this, so why did they come to Qiongzhou with us? "

She looked out of the window and said leisurely: "The homeland of the Northern Kingdom has been occupied for more than seven years, and it will be eight years soon. None of us know what those people think. If you sail northward, you will not only be framed by the ministers of the court, but also be killed by the court officials." Might come back in vain."

"Then, what to do then?"

Li Xiang didn't know that there were so many twists and turns, but if they didn't go to the North to snatch people, where else could they go to get people?Those pedantic scholars are still right in saying that those foreign laborers should not be too much, otherwise they may cause trouble.

"Send a letter to the imperial court, and try to see if you can talk to the Qing court about exchanging people with silver or grain."

Zuo Fu stood up, walked to the door, and said: "Go and open the door and invite all adults to come in."

"Yes!"

When we arrived at the second hall, a group of officials had already entered.Tongzhi Xue Yaoming had a bitter face, seeing Zuo Fu coming in, as if seeing a great savior, he stepped forward and cupped his hands, saying: "My lord, you are here, you, if you don't come, I will swallow it!"

The majestic government official was forced to be like this by a group of lower officials, which also shows how crazy these state and county officials who are eager to make contributions are.

Xue Yaoming, who came here when he learned that the county officials were disturbing the government office, has been questioned by these officials for a long time, but what can he do about it?He himself wished he could grow eight hands and eight legs, and hire seventeen or eight clerks, so that the work would be easier.

Can the question be?Now Qiongzhou is not short of money, but short of people!They recruit people everywhere, and all the people who are willing to come along the coast are taken away, and those who don't want to come, let the people here go home to show their experiences, and they have used their brains. Someone is here!
Today, there are about 40 young and strong Han people in Qiongzhou, 30 women, and about 17 young and old.In recent years, the good reputation of Qiongzhou Yamen has attracted many Shengli and Miao people to come down the mountain to naturalize. The total of these two groups is about 15 people, plus more than 2 Japanese, Korean and Annan people, the whole Qiongzhou is full of people. Just 105 million people.

And how many people are there in Suzhou at this time? As many as 235 million!The area of ​​Qiongzhou is three times that of Suzhou. Although some places are not suitable for people to live in, it is obviously very difficult to support such a large number of projects with such a small population!
It's not that he and the magistrate have thought of ways, such as recruiting and buying, but now people in the state capitals see that they have met the plague gods, and they turn around and leave, and some even use various means to drive away the recruiters. .

No way!
The world is settled, with high-yield grain and advanced planting technology, the population will be more valuable!That's why we were slow to respond, otherwise the previous people wouldn't be able to give it to you!They all ran away, who to find to farm? !The less people there are, the higher the wages will be!

and so……

Xue Yaoming wiped the sweat from his head, feeling his eyes were astringent.

What can I do, this officer is also very desperate!
"See Fu Zun!"

Seeing Zuo Fu coming, everyone saluted, and before Zuo Fu could speak, they started talking in a hurry.

Fan Chunsheng, magistrate of Yazhou: "My lord, although there are many scholars in our Yazhou, but in the past few years, many scholars have been taken away by various states and counties! And Yazhou, which faces the ocean, is an important place for foreign trade in Qiongzhou, and documents are indispensable! Please! My lord will send 40 documents, and give another [-] people..."

"Fan Chunsheng!"

Before the words were finished, the magistrate of Qiongshan called out, "How dare you speak?! Forty documents?! What are the people in Yazhou magistrate for?! There is a shortage of people everywhere, even me. One person does the work of three! But you are lucky, you want forty people, how dare you speak!"

"Pooh!"

Fan Chunsheng scolded: "Go to our Yazhou Linchuan Port to have a look, go and have a look! You are so busy that you wonder if your parents gave birth to you, you little bird who is hiding under the wing of the lord of the house knows a lot ?! Dare to come out and be blind?! My lord, let me tell you..."
