As a large number of administrative personnel and technical personnel settled in Zhejiang, Jiangshu, Anhui and other places under the jurisdiction of Xinghai Kingdom, local people suddenly found that their lives had changed dramatically.
First of all, dense farms were established.
Those fields that no longer had owners were all included in the jurisdiction of these farms.
Every day, someone advertises the recruitment of farm workers in the village.
For these common people, being a tenant to a landlord's family is a good thing, and being a tenant to any farm is a good thing.
What's more, there are basically no landlords to recruit tenants now, so they can only work as farm laborers.
But the treatment on the farm was beyond their expectations.
Not to mention the food and accommodation, the monthly salary and bonuses are much better than working for the landlord's family before.
Moreover, the government established by the Xinghai people was much more amiable than the officials in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. If anything happened, they would no longer just come in because they had no money, but would serve them enthusiastically.
Of course, compared to farms, residents in counties and state capitals are keen to participate in recruitment in various factories.
"The soap factory is recruiting people. They will be trained in the factory for half a month. They are required to know a thousand commonly used words, pay attention to cleanliness, and must not have bad habits such as gambling."
"The silk factory is recruiting people. They will be trained for two months. They are required to know a thousand commonly used words, pay attention to cleanliness, and must not have bad habits such as gambling."
"The farm tool factory is recruiting people. They will be trained for three months. They are required to know a thousand commonly used words, pay attention to cleanliness, and must not have bad habits such as gambling."
...........
Well, the wages for recruiting people in these factories are really high, which is much better than working as a waiter or opening a small shop of your own.
But the problem is that these factories require people to be able to read, be clean, and not have bad habits, etc.
This has made many people blind.
But where there is demand, there is output.
There were many unemployed scholars, and Tong Sheng immediately opened literacy training classes at this time.
The fees for this literacy training class are not high, the learning time is random, you can learn at any time, and the teaching method is flexible.
Naturally, many people who want to participate in job recruitment actively participate in these literacy classes.
After all, it is actually not difficult to know a thousand common words.
I know twenty words in one day, and I can learn them completely in two months.
In fact, compared to children who have just entered school, it is not difficult for adults to learn to read as long as they are not mentally weak.
After all, children lack a lot of common sense, but adults have common sense. What they lack is just not knowing the words that represent this common sense. As long as the words and common sense are linked, it will be much easier to become familiar with them.
A large number of low-tech factories have been established in the three provinces to process primary resources and agricultural and sideline products, add added value and sell them.
This enabled the economies of the three provinces of Xinghai Kingdom to become economically active in a short period of time. Even though the population was smaller than before, the level of economic prosperity was unmatched before.
Under such circumstances, the jurisdiction of the Xinghai Kingdom produced a siphon effect, causing the neighboring population to naturally migrate towards the jurisdiction.
After all, everyone wants to live a better life.
Compared with the chaos and rags in the areas occupied by the Qing army, the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xinghai Kingdom are orderly and economically active, which is very attractive.
As a result, the population in the adjacent areas occupied by the Qing army decreased rapidly, while the population in the area under the jurisdiction of Xinghai Kingdom did not decrease much, but increased a bit, even after two years of large-scale migration.
Compared with the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xinghai Kingdom, the areas occupied by the Qing army were rapidly destroyed. It was common for rural areas to be without human habitation for dozens of miles. Here, whole villages fled to the areas under the jurisdiction of the Xinghai Kingdom frequently.
Even families in many counties and state capitals left secretly.
The population is declining, the farmland is uncultivated, business is sluggish, and the economy is inactive, which makes the local officials of the Qing government who govern this area a headache.
Without people, taxes could not be collected, and the taxes required by the Qing government could only be imposed on the families who had not yet left.
As a result, the already high taxes increased several times out of thin air.
This caused more people to flee.
At this time, the Qing court had been dragged down by the large Lingbao group.
Although after Duduo adopted the tactics of not attacking but harassing, the Qing army's losses suddenly decreased, but more than 100,000 or 200,000 troops were stationed here, and the food, fodder, etc. needed every day were a large number. .
It would be okay if they were stationed in a defense zone, as they only needed to be supplied with normal food and fodder.
But now that the army is fighting outside, the daily consumption of food and fodder is several times that under normal circumstances.
After all, how can we fight if we don’t have enough to eat?
Those soldiers would not feel that they would not have enough to eat if they did not attack the Lingbao Group.
If military morale is shaken, mutiny will occur.
Even if Duduo sits here, it is impossible to prevent the soldiers from having enough to eat.
As Nanming, Zheng's Army, Xinghai Kingdom and other forces marched together to attack the areas occupied by the Qing army.
In two years, the Qing government had lost Shichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Hujian, Zhejiang, Jiangshu, Anhui and other places.
In other words, the current territory of the Qing court has shrunk significantly.
In particular, the loss of Zhejiang, Jiangshu and other sacred places caused the Qing government's tax revenue to be halved.
However, the hardcore crops of direct descendants of the Qing court could not be harvested. Even if those Eight Banners soldiers died in battle, their family benefits could not be reduced.
Coupled with the many princes, Baylor, and clan members, the Qing court's finances were about to go bankrupt.
Under such circumstances, the Qing government finally thought of dividing and dismantling the hostile forces and recruiting them all.
Now the main enemies of the Qing court are three enemies.
Nanming, Zheng Jiajun and Xinghai Kingdom.
Although the Zheng family's army is apparently serving Emperor Zhaowu of the Southern Ming Dynasty, these days, the rich, armed, and spear-headed King is the Caotou King. Zheng Chenggong has been crowned king, has troops, territory, and close ties with the Xinghai Kingdom. Under such circumstances, Under the circumstances, even if the Zhaowu regime of Nanming wanted to do something, it would not be possible.
Recruit Nanming?
Many flag owners and princes shook their heads, what do you want?
It can be said that Nanming has an sworn hatred with the Qing court. Let alone surrendering, even peaceful coexistence is impossible, and it can only be fought to the death!
As for Zheng Jiajun, the Qing court had some ideas. After all, Zheng Chenggong's father, Zheng Zhilong, surrendered to the Qing court. Although his current treatment is not very good, he was also awarded a first-class fine nihaban.
This can be regarded as a relatively high title in the Jiangjun.
You must know that Nian Gengyao during the Yongzheng period had only been granted the title of Jingqinihafan.
Of course, compared to the three families of Wu Shanggeng and Wu Shanggeng who were directly crowned kings, Zheng Zhilong was much different.
However, the Qing court had promised Zheng Zhilong that as long as his son could be persuaded to surrender, the Zheng family would be granted the title of prince.
