Chapter 296 (3)
Cheng Gong Zhabu passed through the danger.

People are in good spirits on happy occasions, and the young couple has a pretty good life after marriage.When the princess gets married, she will first live in Beijing for a period of time, and then return to Qidi.During the two months in Beijing, the emperor and empress suffered a lot.Calling young couples into the palace is frequent, fearing that it will delay the two of them cultivating their relationship.Don't ask to come in and take a look, and don't worry.I sent the ear to report to the gods, afraid that my son-in-law would misunderstand, so I still don't feel at ease if I don't send it.

During the first month of their daughter's marriage, one of the constant topics of the emperor and empress was: I don't know how her daughter is doing.

They have experience in marrying a daughter-in-law, and they don't worry about their son. Although it is not the first time to marry a daughter, it is the only time to marry their own daughter.Not to mention Shujia, even Yinreng, who has always believed that the ruler is the leader of the ministers, and that the ministers should serve seriously, is also a little restless.

This is a novel experience, not only the novelty of the empress, even Cheng Kunzabu also found it novel.His father-in-law (mother-in-law didn't get to see him a few times) seemed to treat him strangely.Fortunately, Cheng Gun Zhabu is more sensible, gets along well with Wu Yunzhu, and has "the heart of loyalty to the country", so he accepts whatever Yinfeng does.

With a wife who is neither squeamish nor vulgar, Cheng Gunzabu thinks it is acceptable to have a strange father-in-law.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law singing harmoniously, Yinfeng felt relieved.

Things in the world are like this, if one thing goes well, there must be a bad thing waiting for him ahead.

The daughters are all married, and news finally came from a distant country on the other side of the earth. They are willing to spread scientific and cultural knowledge. It doesn’t matter if the two parties disagree on etiquette. All concerns are resolved.But...you have to change our address!Also, what should we do with our business affairs?

On Yinreng's side, it has only been more than a year, and not many suitable ships have been built. They are waiting to learn advanced experience, and they don't want to lose their momentum.Dilemma.He couldn't let go of the situation in Nanyang. After all, everyone knew about the kidnapping of their own people. The Dutch refused to return these cheap and easy-to-use labor.The two countries each occupy half of the Indonesian archipelago, tossing back and forth.Nian Gengyao was waiting for the central government to give him arms.

Nian Gengyao needed a war and had to fight it, so naturally he wanted to do everything possible to drag more people into the water.He would rather save a little money for himself, and let the people in Beijing taste the sweetness and know the benefits of this war.Tell the emperor with the facts that if you fight Nanyang, you are the king of pioneering, and you will also enrich the treasury.Tell the minister that there is plenty of oil and water in Nanyang!

During the stalemate, he also tried his best to transport the good things to Beijing.Among the kings and ministers, there are quite a few people who were moved by the benefits. No matter how they think about Nian Gengyao, they have only one thought about Nanyang: it must be taken down.At the same time, they have an even bolder proposal: emigrate to the border.

Cough cough, not to mention whether Java is regarded as the "border" of the Celestial Dynasty, even if you want to immigrate there, you have to settle the place down!
The proponent has a different point of view: If we immigrate to the past, we will have more people, and the place will naturally be stable.They farm there and even have logistical supplies.As for what kind of immigrants to move there, we can formulate preferential policies.

For example, "Anyone who is in a lowly status has cultivated in the past, not only will the wasteland reclaimed be his own, but he can also get rid of the lowly status and become a good citizen."

Another example is "every twenty ding takes one ding to go south with his family, exempt from taxation, and his relatives in the middle land will be exempted from one hectare of land tax. The officials will be selected among the people who go south."

It's all about lure.

These two items are regulations that the makers are very considerate of the people's conditions. According to the usual practice, the opinions of the broad masses of the people have not been solicited at all.The country does not need to explain too much to the people, it is the national conditions of this era.

This is a threat, because whether you go or not is not up to you, but to the country.

The first one is that they are all cheap, and no one will speak up for them, so if they go, they will go.The latter item is powerful, he is using clan power.In this era, a person's life, old age, sickness and death are all closely related to the clan.If a person wants to sell the land, the clan has the preferential right to buy it, and even if the family property is sacrificed to the land, there is no need to confiscate it.One out of twenty people, and the remaining nineteen people are the beneficiaries.Will the patriarch do it?Do the people of the tribe support it?
People by boat and boat were dragged to Nanyang and settled down slowly.Everything is ready, the only thing that needs to be done is Western technology.

The bad is the east wind.

The imperial court had to accept the "suggestions" of friendly neighbors in Europe, and they should not be called "Yi Di" in official documents.It also allowed the British to do business in Guangzhou, Ningbo, and Xiamen, and also agreed to the agreed tax rate.However, because Yinfeng felt uncomfortable, the whole court felt uncomfortable. When the tax rate was agreed, they instructed the merchants to negotiate, and the bargaining was bloody.

Finally, everything was negotiated quickly, and both parties thought they got what they wanted.

"The drawings they gave were not the best."

There are still some experts in the imperial court who don't know how to make them, but they know how to read them.At least, the ships that fought against the imperial court didn't look like this. They seemed to be larger than this size, and their firepower configuration was much fiercer.

These foreigners are unreliable!The group of people who deliberately maintained the demeanor of the etiquette gang was slapped in the face, and they have become more pragmatic since then.

Comparing the two, the people of this country look much cuter.Many things are slowly changing unconsciously.

These are all things for later, but the most urgent task is to create advanced ships and artillery.Yinfeng had to invest a lot of money in research and development, and the southeast coast was no longer optional. He obviously felt the pressure in his contacts with Western countries.A globe was placed in the East Nuan Pavilion of the Qianqing Palace, and he had to take a look at it when he was free. The world is so big, and we are not the center.

At this time, the gap between China and the world's advanced technological level is not that big. It can even be said that we are not completely backward. It is very timely to wake up and open our eyes to see the world.

I am the dividing line table hit after five years
The Netherlands was under tremendous pressure from the United Kingdom in Europe, and because the supply line was too long, it finally collapsed in Southeast Asia, and the stock of the Dutch East India Company plummeted.

Nian Gengyao could finally breathe a sigh of relief. He was the culprit who initiated this matter, but because there was no one to replace him for a while, he stayed and saw the final result.Since the battle was won, he also got a result of neither promotion nor demotion, but he was changed to another place to be an official.

Guangdong, Guangxi, and Nanyang, this piece of land that can be predicted to be fat and oily, say goodbye to him from now on.He himself was transferred outside the customs and was honored as General Shengjing.

After five years of development in the vast expanse of land in Nanyang, there is a big problem: lack of people.

The aborigines had a hard time under Nian Gengyao's command. If they didn't like it, they would kill and slash, and there were not many people left. The supply line of the Dutch was too long and they were short of manpower.Nian Gengyao himself was in a hurry to get angry, so he naturally did whatever he could, with the aim of destroying the enemy's vital forces, and never showed mercy to the "barbarians".

The shortage of labor force made Chaoshang Zhugong have to face up to the contradiction between development needs and development progress.Hongdan took a fancy to Nanyang because of the surplus labor force. He launched a huge immigration plan: allowing independent immigration.

As long as you pay a small fee, you can move your family to Nanyang.The population moving south must maintain a roughly one-to-one ratio of men and women to ensure sustainable development.A certain percentage of government officials will be transferred to serve in Nanyang, and officials with Nanyang experience will be given preferential treatment in promotion.At the same time, a certain proportion of bannermen were transferred to Nanyang, and they were allowed to bring their families to reclaim wasteland.

If this plan had been proposed five years ago, it would not have gone so smoothly. Now that there are the first batch of successful experiences, and after five years of war, the importance of Nanyang is well known throughout the country.For the Bannermen, the adventurous and expansive blood of their ancestors seems to be revived in their bones.Many people are ready to move, and even have the intention of reaching out to Luzon.

What they fancy is not the rice produced there, but the mines!That's not just valuable, but money itself!
Also, the transshipment trade between the East and the West must pass through there to settle down, and there are unlimited business opportunities!Those who don't do it are fools!

Shujia's understanding of Guoben's politicians is still wrong. The simplicity of politicians and the simplicity she thinks are two different concepts.The simplicity of politicians is based on strength.When the upward men are inflated in strength, there are also times when they take the initiative to provoke.However, many fools followed the politicians and yelled that we are a country of gentlemen, and then the whole country thought this way, and things were ruined.

This imperial court seems to have returned to the early days of the founding of the country, finding fun in war and finding the truth of war.

Yinfeng was very happy. He finally solved the crisis in Nanyang and opened up a new world for the country.Moreover, in the process of war + immigration, the bannermen and the people came into contact like never before.Banner people are not good at naval warfare, and the population is small, but wherever the country expands, there must be banner people, otherwise it will not be possible for relatives and nobles.

Under such circumstances, it is not so difficult to understand the proposal to expand the scale of the Eight Banners.The Eight Banners themselves have the Han Army Banner, and Yinreng suddenly thought of the magical function of the Han Eight Banners when they were established.The expansion of the Eight Banners should not be overwhelmed.

He only used one trick, which was regarded as a reserve force establishment, only exempted from taxes and labor, and not paid.

With such an expansion, will the boundaries between Banner Han become more and more blurred?When the day when all the people enter the flag, will he be the real co-lord of the whole world?
Yinfeng's heart was beating violently.

Shujia is very happy. Her desire for the prosperity of this country is probably stronger than that of everyone here. Only she knows the four words of a century of humiliation.Moreover, Yinreng's policy gave her hope, a hope of "peaceful evolution".Reform is not an idyllic poem, nor a song of moonlight, but it does not necessarily have to lay down millions of corpses and bleed.

Hongdan was also very happy. Taking Nanyang, he initially relieved the troubles of overpopulation, and he also earned enough political capital through the planned emigration.

Dear relatives are very happy, and there is another place to make a fortune.

The common people were not very happy, and few people who left their homes were happy.But at least there is a mouthful of food. It is said that some people's relatives are doing very well in Nanyang.

Whether they are happy or not, not everyone cares. As long as their dissatisfaction is kept within a limit, the court can do whatever it wants.

There are also people who are not happy, Nian Gengyao said in his heart, I was originally pampered and pampered, but I was sent to this icy and snowy world to work as an errand!

The Russians were also very upset. General Nian is now a veritable general, and he still has the emperor's secret order: Aren't you good at picking things up?Try to find a way to fix the boundary agreement in the Northeast again, and you still do it cheaply.The Russians are really too close to my ancestral grave, I don’t think it’s safe, please ask them to move away.

There are fewer Russians in the Far East than the Dutch population in Java!This time, there is no need for missionaries in the negotiation. These Tatars seem to understand what negotiation is, and they refuse to make any concessions.There are few people who can't agree on talks and dare not fight.The Russians were terribly unhappy.

The British are also very upset, huge market...they didn't catch it!They probably don't understand what is called "self-sufficient feudal natural economy".Even if this self-sufficient feudal natural economy is going to disintegrate now, it is not because of their impact. China's handicraft industry is still not backward, and it is not particularly difficult to transform into a primitive industry.

The starting point of the matter is still in Nanyang. Migration to Nanyang requires boats, and seeds, farm tools, and construction tools are also necessary for immigrants to settle down.This greatly promoted the development of the inland handicraft industry, and a large number of contractors appeared.There are many resources in Nanyang, and mining requires manpower, which also means that the main job of these people is to mine, and their life needs to be realized through commodity exchange.The development of new territory is a long-term process that needs to be continued. The contractors have been developing, and the handicraft industry is also constantly integrating and annexing each other.

What frustrates the British most is that they probably underestimated the abilities of these guys with pigtails.Since the Qing court sent officials who were merchants to negotiate, this in itself was an expression of dissatisfaction, contempt, and negligence towards these foreigners, but it played an unexpected role. , and won the same reciprocal conditions, that is, allowing the Chinese to dump goods in the UK.

This is nothing, and few Chinese are willing to go so far from home to do business.But that's where the businessmen are savvy, and they... hired European agents to sell them.

There is a great market for Chinese silk and porcelain, which greatly stimulates their local production, and it is even more difficult to get in!The British can only make up for it from the colonies, and the depression can be imagined.

What is more hateful is that the government of the Tartars seems to have suddenly become shrewd.The Qing court, which benefited from tariffs, suddenly paid more attention to commerce, because they found that the taxation of domestic and foreign trade had exceeded the agricultural tax.They have enough money to expand their armaments, and they are looking for faults, and they are ready to do a big one.With commercial tax as a support, they can calmly consolidate their rule and unite people through a series of means such as reducing agricultural tax, and let the British plan to support political agents go bankrupt.

Really, some happy and some sad!
