If Zhao Xin knew that the Manchus even used assassination methods to deal with him, he would not know what he would think. However, as the aftermath of his wedding to Shen Xuan gradually dissipated, the focus of time travellers' discussion turned to Liu Zheng.
This man brought two women from the island country back to attend Zhao Xin's wedding. At first, he hid them quietly in the guest house where the Sendai clan was staying. Unexpectedly, after the Sendai clan and the shogunate left by boat, they were suddenly exposed.
"You can't get anything you want if you don't want it. I can't make the girl homeless, so I have to reluctantly accept her as a maid." Liu Zheng explained to everyone, and at the same time he looked helpless. It was really something that his aunt couldn't do.
Even my uncle can't bear it.
Originally, the Sendai clan wanted to give Zhao Xin a woman, but Zhao Wangdian didn't want it at all, so it took advantage of Liu Zheng.
One of the two women is from the Shiraishi Katakura family, and the other is from the Tsunoda Ishikawa family. They were both sent as adopted daughters. They look pretty good to be honest, but their height is a bit on the short side; each is one meter tall.
Four or so, another one or five meters, two miniature beauties.
Of course, this kind of thing is very common in island countries. Although nominally Katakura Muranori and Ishikawa Murafumi have become Liu Zheng's father-in-law, they still have their own differences when getting along. Otherwise, let Liu Zheng ask Katakura, who is not much older than him
The village code calls him "father-in-law", and he cannot pass this threshold no matter what.
A group of people in the power plant saw that Liu Sheng, Zhao Xin, and Liu Zheng all had their own women, so they began to have romantic feelings. However, Zhao Xin once again reiterated his attitude: "In these days, women are very important, whoever is always in trouble will always give up."
If you make someone pregnant and leave, it can be written clearly in the trust document that the money will be deducted and used as alimony."
Ah! It’s really confusing whether to start a family and start a business in this time and space or to take the money and go back to have fun when the time comes!
A person must be self-aware, which does not mean that staying in ancient times is necessarily good.
Mr. Zhao will not mention it. If you want to be a general who rules an area like Liu Sheng and Wang Yuanfang, you must first have that ability. If you really have those two brushes, how can you be shunted in another time and space?
What happened in the end was unsatisfactory?
Furthermore, if someone has a headache or fever, the medical methods from another time and space are reassuring.
The most important point is that Beihai Town has never had slaves and concubines from the beginning, and has no plans to do so. This has completely ruined many people's dreams of having beautiful wives and concubines, as well as a lot of housekeepers and servants.
"What do you think Zhao Xin is doing here? He is not allowed to take concubines."
"Tsk~~There's no need to ask about political ambitions."
"I heard that Fatty Fan also married a blonde girl? Is he planning to go back?"
"Why are you not allowed to take concubines? One teapot needs four cups. Damn it..."
"I think what Gu Hongming said back then was right. Some people may have their braids cut off on the outside, but they still have braids on the inside. You two are typical examples."
"I'll wipe it! What do you mean by that?!"
"Forget it, forget it. They're all here to work, what's there to argue about. Isn't it nice to have a million-dollar annual salary? Take the money home and do whatever you want with it." Seeing the trend of starting to fight after just a small talk, next to him
People rushed over to try to persuade him.
The question is, compared with the high cost of luxury life in another time and space, how can an annual salary of one million be feasible for some people?
The idea of "Why can I do it if it's him?" gradually grew in my mind. "Ambition", which was originally a derogatory term in Chinese culture, became an essential element of success advocated by countless people in later generations.
Before the Spring Festival, Zhao Xin spent more than ten days traveling alone to Ningupa, Khabarovsk, Aihun, Yaksa, Irkutsk and Kyaktu. The wedding candy was delivered as a helper, and he mainly
The purpose is to prepare for next year's spring plowing - to send seeds.
According to Chen Qingsong's plan, Khabarovsk, located in the Sanjiang Plain, will become the main wheat-producing area and develop livestock breeding, while Aihun, Yaksa and Irkutsk will mainly grow rye and sugar beet.
Especially for sugar beets, it does not mean that you can plant them directly after plowing the land. There is a lot of preparation work that needs to be done in the early stage. In addition to land selection and soil preparation, seed soaking and pesticide mixing also need to be prepared in advance.
Beets were now an indispensable ingredient on the dinner table for the Russians in the 18th century, but it would have to wait more than ten years to make sugar from beets. Basically, by the end of the 19th century, there were almost more than 200 sugaring factories in Tsarist Russia.
In operation, the annual sugar production capacity is as high as 45 million pounds.
As a thermophilic, photophilic and moisture-loving root crop, the sugar content of sugar beets mainly depends on the number of sunny days from August to October each year. The reason why Chen Qingsong chose Aihun and other places as sugar beet planting areas is mainly because
Considering that those areas have crisscrossed rivers and high soil moisture content.
In fact, sugar beets are divided into two types: edible type and feed type. The former can be eaten and squeezed for sugar, while the latter can only be fed to pigs, cattle and sheep. For example, in Khabarovsk and Ezo lands where livestock breeding is carried out, some feed sugar beets must be grown.
The stuff is much stronger than alfalfa.
Chen Qingsong’s plan is to plant a small amount in the outer Northeast and Ezo lands first, and then promote it in the northwest after the Northern Navy captures Outer Mongolia. In this way, herdsmen will basically stop migrating for pasture.
With industrialized animal husbandry, the Mongols can realize settlement in villages and towns, and places like northern and southern Mobei will be easier to control.
The nomadic people's good fighting ability comes from their dependence on the weather and their precarious living environment. The key to solving this problem is economic means, and politics and military can only be supplemented. And when those Mongolian princes and nobles who live a luxurious and luxurious life are fixed in villages and towns, think again
By making small moves, the North Korean navy can quickly eliminate them.
In order to alleviate the shortage of agricultural manpower in the outer northeast and other places, in addition to preparing seeds, Zhao Xin also had to purchase a batch of agricultural equipment again. This included large and small agricultural machinery specially used for sugar beet sowing and harvesting.
Relying on large-scale agricultural machinery and equipment and diesel produced on Kuye Island, the proportion of the agricultural population in Beihai Town is actually very low, currently only about 18%. This is also the prerequisite for Zhao Xin to dare to recruit troops on a large scale.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the end of the fifty-third year of Qianlong's reign, Beihai Town once again launched a large-scale recruitment, with a total of five thousand. After completing the training, they will be organized into two regiments.
Replace the garrisons in Minami Kyushu and Sendai Domain. Half of the troops this time were farmers from Jiaodong, and the other half were composed of surrendered troops from the Qing army, border residents of Hezhe and Daur, and a small number of Ezo coal miners.
In addition, the thousand feudal warriors sent by Ishikawa Murafumi this time will also be incorporated into the combat sequence of Beihai Town after completing their training. Zhao Xin plans to have this unit go north to Irkutsk in the spring to be responsible for the
Russian defense.
As for the great Ainu king Tuka, who was as fat as a pig, after attending Zhao Xin's wedding, he decided to send another 500 Ainu warriors to Beihai Town. The agreement Zhao Xin reached with him was
These Ainu will serve the Northern Navy for five years. If Tuka needs it, some of them can be recalled at any time, but new recruits must be provided to make up the number.
It is said that when the industrial power demand in Beihai Town is solved, several 600-megawatt diesel generators that have been used scatteredly can be freed up and sent to Fuldan City, Kuye Island and other places.
At present, the natural oil leaking pits near the Oha River have been basically dug out, and Zhang Bo is planning to start the long-standing "beam pumping unit", commonly known as the kowtow pumping unit, in the spring of next year.
Correspondingly, starting from 1789, all the local oil refining workshops that had harmed the environment of Kuye Island for two years will cease operation and will be replaced by ten refining converters with a daily output of 200 tons. As a result, Kuye Island will
Yedao's annual diesel output will reach 700,000 tons, which can fully meet the oil demand of all mechanical equipment in Beihai Town.
However, Zhao Xin still needs to purchase lubricating oil for mechanical equipment separately, or buy whale oil from Okhotsk. The base oil for producing lubricating oil is no problem, but the additives still cannot be produced.
At the moment, Zhang Bo is living a happy life. He works as his oil boss on Kuye Island for half the year, and teaches welding skills at the technical school in Beihai Town for the other half. Sometimes he even goes to the radio station to indulge his addiction as "village party secretary".
This surprised all the farmers who came from Wendeng, and they all said that they did not expect that there was actually a Shandong hero hidden among the big men in Beihai Town.
By the way, after a year of ideological struggle, Zhang Bo finally decided to stay and become a permanent resident of this time and space. After solving this ideological problem, his personal problems were also solved. Liang Qing'er, who had a good impression of him, had already agreed.
Lao You was the matchmaker. After Zhang Bo planned to hold the wedding before the spring, he took Liang Qing'er with him to Kuye Island and let her preside over the newly established primary school in Oha Town.
Seeing Chen Qingsong getting more and more tired, Zhao Xin finally decided to liberate Jiang Tenglin from Dabo Town and return to the Civil Affairs Bureau to continue being his deputy.
Let’s talk about the situation in the three counties of Minami Kyushu.
The Ryuga gold mine has been excavated for a whole year. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, the main purpose at the beginning was to open up the transportation route from the mine to the foot of Akune so that the mined ore can be transported by sea to the gold mine on Lengyi Island.
Refinery plant.
Jiuzang offered a recruitment condition of one dou of rice per day plus two meals as a supervisor. The news soon spread throughout the three counties of Izuku, Isa and Hisikari. At that time, there were nearly 10,000 breathless farmers who had been squeezed by the Shimadzu family for a long time.
He left his home and joined the road construction army.
When they were about to return to their hometown to farm in the spring, another announcement issued by the Beihai Navy caused the three counties to completely explode.
Starting from this year, the annual tribute paid in the three counties will be adjusted to "three public and seven civil", exempting all excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes. If any landlord dares to collect annual tribute exceeding this ratio, any farmer has the right to report it to the local Beihai garrison. Violators will be punished
A fine of ten times for the excess amount will be imposed and rewards will be given to farmers who report the crime.
As soon as the news came out, all the vassals in the island country were dumbfounded. Only three males were left, so what the hell are they not planning to live anymore?! From now on, the farmers in the three counties will not be allowed to ride on the head of the samurai master and urinate?
Oh, by the way, there are no more samurai there...
However, the farmers in the three counties were all overjoyed. They walked out of their homes one after another, carrying the best gifts they could give - turbid sake, privately stored rice, wild products and game, to the nearby Beihai Navy Station, singing and dancing all night long.
Carnival. And those breathless landowners who had long been squeezed by the annual tribute policy of "eight citizens and two citizens" immediately expressed their firm support for the North Navy.
As for the various monasteries in the three counties, because the Northern Navy was taking advantage of the "Great Victory at Ridang Mountain" and its military power was at its peak, they could only bow their heads and agree.
In the spring of the eighth year of Tianmei in the island country, farmers in the three counties of Minami Kyushu, inspired by the "public, three people, seven" policy, burst out with great enthusiasm for the land they have cultivated for generations. They tried their best to grow rice around the village.
Every nook and cranny is shed with the sweat of hard work.
Of course, the Thunder and Thor, which were loaded with new farm tools and hand-held small seeding equipment that were continuously shipped from the factory in Beihai Town, also played a great role.
When it was time for the autumn harvest, the Beihai Navy led by Jiuzang did something that shocked the people of the island country, that is, they put down their guns and wielded their sickles to help the people harvest rice.
Not to mention the lords of the feudal lords and samurai merchants, even the farmers in the three counties were stunned. They saw groups of Northern Marines walking into the rice fields waving sickles, thinking that the gentlemen were trying to rob their own grain.
Alas! How can there be any kind-hearted officials in the world? They just say a few nice words and think things have changed. How can there be such a good thing!
Just as the farmers were sighing in despair, they discovered that the Beihai Navy had actually bundled the harvested rice into bundles and came over to ask where to send it. Some farmers were busy cutting firewood and boiling water in preparation for entertaining the soldiers, and they were shocked to find out
These people even prepare their own drinking water!
When a certain platoon of soldiers helped a farmer to finish harvesting, put the grain into the warehouse, and all left, the farmer's family of six suddenly knelt in front of their house and cried loudly after being silent for a long time. They waved goodbye.
The soldiers of the Northern Navy kept kowtowing, and even their foreheads were bruised by stones on the ground.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Scenes like this appeared one after another in rural areas across the three counties, surprising and delighting countless peasant families.
Is there such a government in the world? What Zhao Wangdian sent was a "Bodhisattva Soldier"!
However, during the autumn harvest, the farmers in the three counties were not only surprised but also panicked. Under the spread of some people with ulterior motives, this behavior of the Beihai Navy was said to be an invitation to buy people's hearts and a big conspiracy.
Think about it, those Tang Yicai left 30% for themselves, how were they going to maintain the governance of the three counties? How were they going to pay their officials? The general is the most merciful, and his own heavenly territory is only "five for the public and five for the people". This year, I will give it to you poor people.
Damn it, I will return to "Gong Ba Min Er" next year and give you a slap in the face!
Faced with these rumors, the Beihai Navy quickly mobilized and, with the cooperation of a few farmers who believed in the Beihai Navy, arrested more than a dozen rumor spreaders. Some of these people were pretending to be wandering monks wandering around the villages, and some were hiding in the streets and wine shops.
There are some scoundrels and idlers among them, and even some hired ronin.
After interrogation, it was found that among these people were former retainers of the Shimazu family, monks from the temples in the three counties, and those sent by the surrounding vassals to spread rumors and cause trouble. The North Navy's approach was to shoot them all, which would eliminate the group of people who spread the rumors.
They were so frightened that they fled from the three counties one after another, saying that they did not dare to come again.
Okay! Spreading a rumor elsewhere is just a slap in the face, and the Beihai navy will behead him directly. How can this be fun? Can you still happily be a rumor spreader?
The Beihai Navy simply posted notices again in every village in the three counties, informing them of the identity and disposition of these rumor mongers. When the farmers took a look, it turned out that those arrested were the temple masters and samurai masters who were uneasy about the status quo and even
There were spies sent by neighboring daimyo who were jealous of the Northern Navy's policies.
In the eyes of these people, if the policy of the Northern Navy spreads, there will be no peaceful life in Southern Kyushu in the future! Those mud-legged and local people will definitely petition to lower the annual tribute, and if not, they will launch a coup.
If the annual tribute is reduced, what will the daimyo use to attend the service and complete the general invitations assigned by the shogunate? This is simply a rhythm that forces people to hang themselves!
The problem is that from the perspective of the farmers in the three counties, they have been suffering for many years, and finally a group of "Bodhisattva soldiers" have come. They just have hope, why can't they live a good life? They really treat us like sesame seeds, even clay figures have it.
Three points of anger!
Before winter, when Jiuzang received Zhao Xin's order to recruit 200 local self-defense forces in the three counties, farmers who heard the news came in droves, and the number of applicants on the first day was as high as more than 3,000.
On the one hand, this is the monthly subsidy of one dollar of silver coin for the Self-Defense Forces, and on the other hand, it is the great support for the Northern Navy regime. The farmers are afraid that these Bodhisattva soldiers will leave one day, and then the oppression of the samurai masters will return.
As a result, a storm that even Zhao Xin did not expect began to brew secretly, and will sweep across Kyushu in a few years!
