This is what Chen Xiucai said.
The surrounding chatter became much quieter.
This is indeed the truth.
If the rice collected from farming and renting is sold at a price that is not tax deductible.
Not many people are willing to grow rice.
No one does a business that is losing money.
I saw the chatter around me lowered.
Chen Xiucai lowered his voice and said: "Actually, it's good to go to Lanfang. Many Cantonese people originally went to West Borneo, but now there are so many people going to Lanfang, all aiming to make a fortune."
"Chen Xiucai, you put it lightly. West Borneo, where Lan Fang is located, is a wild land. You can easily establish yourself there."
Xu Sanjin's stout daughter yelled, her voice quite loud.
"That's not what I mean. When you go to Lanfang, you are going to open up wasteland. But do you know that the tolls are free, and cattle, horses, farm tools and other tools are also distributed. The land you cultivate for five years is yours. It is tax-free for five years. Lanfang Fang’s land is similar to our land in Panyu County, both are good land for growing rice.”
Chen Xiucai obviously didn't just say this to the women of the Xu family.
He also said it to the people watching around him.
Lan Fang Reclamation is currently the most important work of the Colonial Department.
On the one hand, it is to transfer the dense population of Guangdong out, strengthen Lanfang Province's control over West Borneo, and at the same time squeeze the territory of the natives through gradual encroachment.
With the support of the Ming Dynasty.
Large and small settlements and garrison stations were established in the border areas of Lanfang adjacent to the Borneo countries.
Implement a military garrison system that integrates farming and warfare.
What Chen Xiucai didn't say was.
Immigrants to Lanfang must first learn how to use a musket.
Take, for example, a castle with a hundred strong men.
Make sure you can pull out a hundred muskets at any time.
Some larger forts even need to prepare artillery.
If Borneo can establish a system of farming and farming that integrates farming and farming, then this system can be directly copied to Java, to the southern continent, to North America...
This was the exploration of the colonial system in the early Ming Dynasty.
So the price is not as light as Chen Xiucai said.
"You put it lightly. There are barbarians everywhere in Lanfang. Everyone who goes there must learn to use muskets. If they are not careful, they will die."
Xu Sanjin wiped away his tears and nose and said.
"Besides, there is miasma everywhere in Borneo. Even if you don't get beaten to death by barbarians, you will probably die of illness."
Chen Xiucai couldn't help but shake his head after hearing this: "Where did you hear this from? Rumors, absolute rumors."
"First of all, let's talk about the barbarians in Borneo. King Ming recruited Japanese samurai specifically to clean up the barbarians. Most of the barbarians were cleaned up by the Japanese samurai. What was left behind was at least one or two hundred strong men per guard. Are you still afraid of this?"
As soon as Chen Xiucai's words came out.
There was some commotion in the crowd.
"Japan? Japanese pirates."
"I heard these carrot heads are quite vicious."
"It's just right to use Japanese pirates to kill barbarians."
I was speechless when I saw Xu Sanjin.
Chen Xiucai hurriedly struck while the iron was hot.
"And that miasma, I'm not afraid of it now. Look what this is. It's garlic medicine. It's garlic medicine that can cure all diseases."
Chen Xiucai took out the porcelain and said loudly.
Because the name of the life-sustaining water given by King Zhu Ming was too unpleasant.
As a result, the name failed to spread among the people.
Folks prefer to call this bactericidal medicine garlic medicine.
Now every county and township is opening medical clinics.
But the doctor is not a radish in the ground, which can be sown in spring and harvested in autumn.
How could there be so many doctors in such a short time?
So they are all temporary trained second-hand doctors, barefoot doctors.
Have loose bowels?
Take garlic medicine!
Colds, headaches, fever, tremors...
All take garlic medicine.
Although the method is simple and crude.
But in this era.
For example, in Guangdong under the Ming Dynasty, ordinary people could not get basic medical help. After all, Boss Zhu was a doctor, so he was quite generous in this regard.
So now it is spread among the people.
It is said that this garlic medicine is a magic medicine that King Ming received from God.
King Ming is the emperor of Ming Dynasty.
That makes sense.
So this kind of feudal superstition made the name of garlic medicine even more famous.
"The raw material of this garlic medicine is garlic. It is refined using a special method. It is very cheap. With King Ming's magic medicine, are you still afraid that the miasma of Borneo will kill you?"
Chen Xiucai put away the garlic medicine and said.
The onlookers around him stopped talking.
Many people are still pondering the authenticity of what Chen Xiucai said.
If there is really no danger.
If you get sick, you can get free garlic medicine.
It seems...going to Lanfang is really not a bad choice.
Cantonese people have a tradition of going to sea to make a living.
The culture in Lingnan and Minnan is really slightly influenced by maritime culture.
This is also the reason why many overseas Chinese in later generations have their ancestral home either in Guangdong or Fujian.
Therefore, if King Zhu Ming's colonial cause cannot fool even the Cantonese people, then it will be even less likely to happen elsewhere.
"Xu Sanjin, I will also go to Lanfang with you. We are from our own village. Are you still afraid that I will sell you?" Chen Xiucai said.
"Is Chen Xiucai going too?"
"It seems like it would be good to go to Lanfang."
"If a smart person like Chen Xiucai is going, then there should be no danger in Lanfang."
"Maybe I can even make a fortune."
There was a lot of discussion among the crowd.
Xu Hongxia glanced at Chen Xiucai and pulled her father up.
"Dad, I think we have no other way out now except to go to Lanfang. I can still carry a musket when I go to Lanfang, and they don't accept women at this railway construction site."
Xu Sanjin couldn't help but remain silent for a while after hearing this.
A long sigh.
"In this world, why can't we even farm with peace of mind?"
As soon as these words came out.
The people watching around were also silent.
yes.
Why has it been this way for thousands of years?
As soon as King Ming comes.
The world seems to have changed?
It's not that it's worse than what I said.
that is...
It needs to be more tossing.
The crowd dispersed.
If nothing happens, Xu Sanjin and his wife will become glorious colonial pioneers.
Contribute to the complete transformation of Borneo into the survival territory of the Han family.
Of course.
For Xu Sanjin and his daughter.
This is destined to be an experience of blood and tears.
Zhu Daohua walked on the empty field ridge.
If nothing goes wrong, these good paddy fields will dry out this winter and be planted with garlic seedlings or sugar cane when spring comes.
He personally brought a demon to Guangdong and the land of China.
The name of this demon.
It's called capitalism.
The capitalistization of agriculture will completely dismantle the small-scale peasant economy in which men farm and women weave.
by that time.
There will be a large influx of rural people into cities.
If our own Ming Dynasty cannot solve this problem.
Find a way out for this surplus population.
So.
This dynasty will be completely swallowed up.
No matter how elite the Ming army under his command is and how sharp the weapons are, this will always be the case.
Luo Fangbo, Luo Fangmei, Song Xiang and others followed Zhu Daohua from a distance.
Zhu Daohua walked slowly alone on the field ridge at the foot of Lotus Mountain.
A wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
do not know either.
Wait a hundred or two hundred years.
What people would call themselves.
Zhu Daohua shook his head.
He looked towards the north.
He had already embarked on a road from which he could not turn back.
Just a Cantonese.
Not nearly enough.
A mere 18 million people are not enough to stain half the world.
Qianlong's new army has been training for more than half a year.
The autumn harvest comes in August, and in September and October, it’s almost time for the war.
This time.
Zhu Daohua's eyes were already aimed at Jiangnan, at Yingtian Mansion.
The 100,000 troops prepared are not for self-protection.
........
Kant, Macartney, and Bourblon also witnessed an eviction of tenants.
Originally, the envoys from Britain and France were going to Guangzhou directly by boat.
Naihe arrived at the coast of Guangdong.
I don’t know what the French envoy Bourblon ate wrongly.
I had vomiting and diarrhea, and I was about to die.
The fleet could only dock at Lufeng County, Huizhou Prefecture. Later, thanks to officials from Lufeng County sending a bottle of garlic medicine, Bulbulon saved his life.
Sailing in this era was indeed a risky business.
Especially since the sanitary conditions on the ship are very poor, it is very possible to get sick and die accidentally.
And after Lufeng docked.
Kant planned to go to Guangzhou by land.
Bulbulon was weak and did not want to ride the rough boat.
So the three of them asked most of their entourage to take a boat to Guangzhou.
He took a small group of people with him and planned to take the overland road from Huizhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture together with the officials from the Ministry of Rites who came to Lufeng to receive him.
When they walked to the outskirts of Boluo County, they also witnessed an eviction incident.
"A profound social change is taking place in Guangdong."
Kant said.
"Guangdong under Chris's rule is much more dynamic than the Qing Empire in the north."
Macartney did not refute this statement.
Because it’s been a long journey from the shore.
They really see the vitality of this society.
Compared with the Qing Dynasty in the north, which strictly restricted the movement of people.
Guangdong often sees a large number of people moving around.
The industrial base on Lantau Island will recruit a large number of workers.
What kind of railway should be built?
When hearing the word railway.
Kant expressed the hope to visit the railway construction.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites did not refuse.
Railways are not a secret in Guangdong.
A few months ago, Guangdong Railway Company was raising shares, after hearing that this was an industry led by King Ming.
Many businessmen from Guangdong have invested in the company.
"The Guangdong Railway Corporation has raised approximately three million yuan and plans to build a railway from Kowloon to Guangzhou and then to Nanxiong Prefecture!"
Chen Tingxuan, an official from the Ministry of Rites in charge of the reception, introduced.
"Construction has started on the section from Kowloon to Guangzhou City. Your envoy can go and visit the train."
"Train?" Macartney asked with some confusion, "Does this railway refer to a tram?"
Railroad carriages appeared decades ago and were mainly used to transport ore in mines.
"No, no, no, it's not a tram, it's a train."
Chen Tingxuan corrected.
After the endless coma, Shi Yu suddenly stood up from the bed. If you want to read the latest chapters, please download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.

He took a big breath of fresh air, his chest trembling.
Confused, confused, and all kinds of emotions came to my mind.
Where is this?
Afterwards, Shi Yu subconsciously observed his surroundings, and then became even more confused.
A single dormitory?
Even if he was successfully rescued, he should be in the ward now.
And my body...how could I not have any injuries at all?
With doubts, Shi Yu's eyes quickly swept across the room, and finally his eyes rested on a mirror beside the bed.
The mirror showed his current appearance. He was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he looked very handsome.
But the problem is, this is not him! Download the Star Reading app and read the latest chapters for free without ads.
My previous self was a handsome young man in his twenties who had been working for a while.
And now, no matter how you look, this appearance is that of a high school student...
This change made Shi Yu stunned for a long time.
Don't tell him that the operation was successful...
The body and appearance have changed. This is not a matter of surgery or not, but magic.
He turned into a completely different person!
Could it be...that he traveled through time?
In addition to the mirror placed by the bedside, which was obviously not feng shui-friendly, Shi Yu also found three books next to it.
Shi Yu picked it up and took a look. The title of the book instantly silenced him.
"Essential Animal Breeding Manual for Beginner Breeders"
"Postpartum Care of Pet Pets"
"Evaluation Guide for Interracial Beast-Eared Girls"
Shi Yu:? ? ?
The names of the first two books are pretty normal, but what happened to the last one?
"cough."
Shi Yu looked solemnly and stretched out his hand, but his arm soon stiffened.
Just when he was about to open the third book and see what it was about, his brain suddenly felt a sharp pain, and a large number of memories came flooding back.
Icefield City.
Pet animal breeding base.
