Chapter 622 The sky has changed! (Please order, please vote)
The snow on Shangluo Ancient Road creaked under the ruts. Wen Xian wrapped his mink coat tightly and looked at the winding yellowish team on the ridge: "These salt-carried porters are like Indian slaves from the South American silver mine."
"They carried the lifeline of the Great Zhou Dynasty on their backs." Friedrich wrote in a bumpy mule cart, "I asked Yao Baiwan, the sales of green salt in the northwest are very good, and the government will get 30% of the profits per pack of salt. These salt taxes have supported at least 50,000 Yellow Turban Army-Look!"
内乡县界碑前,裹红头巾的太平军哨兵正撕扯告示.大周朝的《九世之仇今已报》的告示才贴上去不久,就已经被新来的太平军撕碎,取而代之的是太平军宣布要在内乡全县分田分地的告示.
The sky in Neixiang has changed!
Even if the famous landlords in Neixiang work hard and build the fortress to solidly, they will still be vulnerable in the face of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which has industrial power!
When the mule cart passed through Zhaojiabao outside Neixiangcheng, Moore suddenly grabbed the curtain and shouted: "Look at there."
On the bluestone archway of Zhaojiabao, the one-armed king juren was hung in the air with a hemp rope strangled with his neck, and an empty sleeve swayed in the cold wind. The crowd of black people under the archway burst into cheers, and several barefoot men swung their hoes and smashed the plaque "Zhao Clan Ancestral Hall" so that wood chips flew everywhere.
"The bully Zhao Chengsi killed more than 70 lives in the past and was extremely guilty!" Li Laosan, who had one eye blind, wore a faded patched red robe, wrapped in a red scarf on his head, raised the complaint in his hand, and said gritting his teeth: "I forced 13 tenants to death last year alone!"
"Take his skin!" An old farmer with wrinkles suddenly rushed to the stone lion, who was beaten to the blue face and swollen from his nose and blinded by someone. His fingers like dead branches were forced to cut a piece of bloody flesh from him, "My son was thrown into the Tuohe River by this beast."
Zhao Chengsi was also a tough guy, and he was stubborn until he died: "It's so hateful for his son to join the Farmers' Association!" He glared fiercely at Li Laosan, who had become the leader of the Farmers' Association, "I really deserve to have you cut off!"
A farmer association cadre sent from Neixiang County said to Li Laosan: "Old Li, this person with the surname Zhao is so hateful, kill him quickly!"
"Let's go!" Li Laosan gritted his teeth and smiled, "First divide the fields and divide the fields of the Zhao family, and divide them in front of him! After dividing his fields, kill his son, and finally kill him. This is called killing people and heartbroken!"
"Killing someone to kill his heart? OK!" The cadre of the peasant association waved his hand and said loudly in Henan dialect, "Friends, we will first divide the Tian surnamed Zhao, and then kill him. Do you think he won't?"
"middle"
All the tenants and poor farmers present were in full bloom.
Moore held the "angel order" given to him by Luo Yaoguo, squeezed through the boiling crowd and grabbed a hunchbacked old man who was being assigned to the five acres of land deeds: "Brother, can this land deed be kept?"
"The Taiping Army has stamped it with a red stamp!" The old man shivered and unfolded the document with the seal of the "Dengzhou Farmers Association". "Captain Liu said, whoever dares to seize the land will give him a gun!" He held the Tianqi tightly, "The Zhao family has used me as a livestock for thirty years, and now," turbid tears rolled on the Tianqi.
"What's so proud of you guys!" Zhao Chengsi suddenly struggled and roared, "Three years, at most five years, most of you will have to go bankrupt and sell your land! You can't keep it."
"kill!"
A cold light flashed by the big blade, and Zhao Chengsi and his two sons were chopped down one by one. The scene was even more jubilant.
Friedrich's pen tip recorded in his notebook: "On January 28, 1858, when the peasant association used a machete to execute justice, the rule of the famous priests in the countryside was completely disintegrated, and replaced by the order of the Datong Society and the peasant association. Although the land of the peasants will still be gradually lost in the future. However, the new order established by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can maintain at least three generations, and this new order will clear away all obstacles that are blocking China's industrialization path."
Moore held his arms, looked at the jubilant farmers around him, and said to Wen Xian, "Just, if we Europeans did not discover the new world, this scene might also appear in England, right? The land concentration in Britain is far greater than that in China!"
Hearing Moore's words, Wenxian suddenly felt a chill on his back - 80% of the land in Britain was concentrated in the hands of 7,000 large landlords, and about 400 of them had a quarter of the land.
And these 400 land nobles and 7,000 large landlords are almost all descendants of the Norman Conquerors, that is truly feudal!
The "Ruxianlou" tobacco house at the intersection of Zhangcun Town was covered with seals. Soldiers in brand new gray cloth uniforms were pouring boxes of opium into the dung pond. Zhang Dafu, who was wearing shackles, saw Moore and his group get out of the carriage, suddenly broke free from the escort, and threw himself in front of Moore: "Help, Yangtian Master."
"How many people have you harmed the opium tobacco restaurant and casino you opened?" A Taiping Heavenly Kingdom supervisor in a red robe kicked the fat body away. Moore recognized the wooden sign on his chest - "Old brother, Henan Provincial Supervision Commission Office."
"I'm wronged! I've been tempted by Shaanxi people."
"The shopkeeper Zhou, a tyrant businessman in Shaanxi, has been killed." The supervisor shook a verdict, "You have committed more than these two crimes. Last winter solstice, you impressed a woman with medicine. Do you remember the daughter of Tailor Zhang on West Street?"
The limp Zhang Dafu was suddenly dragged up. A woman with a blue turban rushed out of the corner of the street and swung the laundry hammer and smashed it hard on his knee: "Beast! My daughter was ruined by you and threw herself into the river!"
The supervisor picked up Zhang Dafu and said viciously: "Shopkeeper Zhou's crime is less than you, and he can do it with just one knife. You can't do it! Come on, take this extremely evil thing into the prison cart!"
"yes"
When the prison cart ran over the bluestone slab, Wen Xian noticed that each household had newly covered yellow talisman paper. The magistrate of Dengzhou of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had just led his troops to pacify Neixiang County, Liu Tiesuo, who was also in Zhangcun Town, and was also responsible for receiving the "Karl Heavenly Master". He followed Wen Xian's gaze and said, "That was the 'three prohibitions' issued by the farmers' association - banning gambling, banning smoking, banning maids."
"Forbidden to save maids?" Wen Xian looked at Liu Tiesuo, "but those kings of heaven."
Liu Tiesuo's face darkened: "Please be careful!"
"You have also turned a good commercial port into this." Wen Xian quickly changed the subject and pointed to the empty Zhangcun Town.
Liu Tiesuo smiled and said, "So what? Lord Wen, do you know how greedy that Zhang Dafu was? The stolen silver found from his house alone was 100,000 taels of it, 70% was used to repair water conservancy, and 30% were bought and distributed to farmers, so that they could farm well is the foundation!"
In the fields outside the town, several yellow oxen were pulling a new iron plow to flip the land that had just been thawed.
Moore took his eyes from the hopeful field and asked Liu Tiesuo: "Liu Zhizhou, where is the King of Wu at present? I want to see him!"
"His Royal Highness of the King of Wu is in Luoyang Prefecture."
At the same time, three carriages ran through the frozen Yellow River, and the ruts drew fine cracks on the ice. Wanzhen suddenly lifted the curtain of the sedan chair, and the north wind poured in with snow particles. Her shoulders wrapped in the white fox fur trembled slightly, but she still stared at the other side: "Zeng Yaotou"
The wheel of the car suddenly slipped, and Bai Siwen's scream came from behind. The former Qing ambassador to Europe was hugging his two sons and huddled in the carriage. The twelve-year-old Ruixiang suddenly pointed at the crack on the ice: "Ama! Zeng Yaotou's man is about to climb up!"
"Nonsense!" Bai Siwen covered his youngest son's mouth, "When we arrive at Shanghai Port, we will take the British Empire's steamship." He lowered his throat and leaned into his son's ear, "When you arrive in England, you two brothers will go to Harrow School and Eton School, which is the best school in the world!"
The newest ⊥小⊥小⊥ said⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥!
On the third carriage, Yao Chongjing took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, and smiled and said, "I should be able to arrive in Luoyang City today."
"Mr. Yao" was interrupted by Yuan Bao before he finished speaking. The former imperial minister of the Qing Dynasty held the handle of the knife, and his knuckles turned white: "Is Li Hongzhang really connected with Changmao?"
"Shh" Yao Chongjing lifted the curtains and confirmed that the cavalry team was far away. "How did Princess Matilde take action in Tianjin's industry? How did the Miner gun be built in the Weinan Iron Factory, and how did the Miner bullet mold be transported into Shaanxi?"
"But why did Changmao do this?" Yuan Bao asked, "Is it just to destroy my Qing Dynasty?"
Yao Chongjing smiled and said, "Of course, it's not just the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's abacus! They want to drive the tigers and swallow the wolf! Let Lord Li go to the Hezhong Prefecture to take away some thorns from Shaanxi and Gansu, and act as a buffer zone between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Tsarist Russia."
Yuan Bao snorted coldly: "They are not afraid of raising tigers!"
Luoyang, the head of the Wu King of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xiao Chaogui had a very clear face: "Building a railway? Lao Jiu, do you know how much money it costs to build a railway?"
"Ten thousand to ten thousand five thousand Taiping silver dollars!" Luo Yaoguo's fingertips streaked through Tongguan on the sand table, "but with the steel artery of the Longhai Railway, a 100,000 army can reach Xi'an in seven days. Only then can we truly control the northwest and develop the northwest!"
"But there are 1,600 miles from Xuzhou to Xi'an!" Xiao Chaogui shook his head, "Where is 24 million? Should I issue a national debt again?"
Zuo Zongtang shook his head: "I'm afraid I can't issue it, but I just issued 25 million yuan in public debts to build the Jinpu Railway, and the Tianjin-Tang Railway and the Tianjin-Beijing Railway have issued millions of debts. The public debts are about to exceed 100 million yuan!"
"Yes," Hong Xuanjiao nodded and echoed, "There is no way to eat so many bonds on the market, and we will go to Shaanxi and Gansu to attack Zeng Yaotou next. The military expenditure of attacking Shaanxi and Gansu is very powerful. It is probably not enough without tens of millions of Taiping silver dollars!"
Luo Yaoguo beat the sand table: "As long as the railway is built to Shaanxi, the military expenditure for fighting Shaanxi can be reduced by half. Then, the railway is built to Shaanxi, and the military expenditure for fighting Gansu can be reduced by a lot! So if you want to fight, build the road first!"
Zuo Zongtang was stunned: "King of Wu, it is impossible to move Shaanxi in less than two or three years! Why are you mobilizing your troops?"
Luo Yaoguo raised his middle finger and put it next to his mouth, and smiled mysteriously: "Don't tell the outside world if you want to shit!"
At this moment, Maria's voice came from outside: "Your Highness, Sister Wanzhen is here!"
