Chapter 583 is rich "Don't worry, I won't let you be responsible!"
”Helena's eyes were full of spring: "I will be responsible for you!"
”", you did it on purpose, on purpose!"
While putting on his clothes, Quan Xu said indignantly: "Our principle remains the same, the cannon will never be sold, at most it will be sold to you as a front-loading smoothbore cannon!"
”Helena lay lazily on the bed: "Tell me again, what happened to that immigrant!"
”"Everyone yearns for a good life, a happy life!"
Quan Xu muttered: "Your Venice city-state republic, there is no shortage of living materials now, but there must be many poor people in the Holy Roman Empire, they can't even eat, you can attract them to Venice first, give them jobs, give you houses, give them food......"
"Why?"
”Helena: "We're not philanthropists!"
”"There is a reward for the effort!"
Quan Xu said angrily: "It's like fishing, so prepare the bait first, right?"
Do you think everyone is willing to come to Liaodong?
In fact, the people of the Ming Dynasty are not willing to come to Liaodong, they are also afraid of death, and they are also afraid of hard work and hard work for a year, all of which are cheaper Jiannu, when I came to Liaodong with the whole family army, I must first ensure that the people under my rule are not attacked by Jiannu, and ensure their personal safety and property safety. ”Liaodong's model is actually not Quan Xu's originality, but the beautiful country he studied, as an immigrant country, the beautiful country has never had the problem of labor shortage.If it is not enough, it will immigrate, but with the attraction of the beacon of freedom, some people are willing to immigrate to the beautiful country.In the beginning, Quanxu's immigrants to Liaodong basically relied on buying, because no one wanted to go, and the servants or workers who bought it, from the moment Quanxu paid the silver, had already accepted their fate.As a result, Liaodong is not hell, but a paradise for the poor.Quan Xu was in charge of their housing, responsible for providing them with loans, providing seeds, grain, farming tools, and cattle, and the Chinese were very industrious, and when they arrived in Liaodong, with their own hands and sweat, they accumulated a large amount of family business in a short period of time.Looking at Liaodong from the perspective of the Central Plains of the Ming Dynasty, there are no peasants in Liaodong, and it should be said that everyone is a landlord.In fact, this kind of small landlord is the normal state in Liaodong."
However, we don't have much food, and we barely eat our Venetian people!"
Quan Xu smiled: "I will ensure that you have enough food, whether it is potatoes, fish, wheat or rice, how much you want!"
”Since Chongzhen three years, Quanxu began to be in Liaodong Tuntian, now the scale of Tuntian is getting bigger and bigger, the grain output is getting higher and higher, now there are as many as thirty or forty distilleries in Liaodong, and the grain consumed by winemaking alone is more than 10 million stones.If it were not for the Xiaoice period, the grain production areas in the north of Daming would have been reduced or cut off, and there would have been no place to sell grain in eastern Liaodong.Now that Quanxu's grain production area has increased again, even if Chongzhen six years, Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Beizhili have almost become white ground, and the grain price in Shanxi is actually lower than that of Wanli forty-four years, who dares to believe it?
Liaodong alone transported as much as 50 or 60 million stone of grain to the Central Plains, enough for 20 million people to ensure food and clothing, but as the scale of grain production in Luzon became larger and larger, the sales of grain became a serious problem."
Well, if you don't know how, I'll do that!"
Quan Xu said lightly: "I will send someone back to Venice with you, you only need to cooperate fully, I will help you break through the population of Venice to one million in a very short time!"
”"How short is extremely short?""
Three years at most!"
Quan Xu smiled: "As long as you agree to me with this condition, I will help you!"
”Quan Xu naturally did not help Helena wholeheartedly, the key is that he needs a huge market, and the industry in Liaodong has begun to take off.Especially since the advent of the steam engine.With a set of figures, it can be reflected that the steel production capacity of Liaodong was about 500,000 to 900,000 tons, and now the output has exceeded 1.8 million tons.With a coal production capacity of about 20 million tons and scattered all over Liaodong, plus textile mills and shipyards, the original Sea Shark class took eight ships a year to build, but now it only takes four to five months, that is, the output has fully doubled.This is just the beginning, the steam engine will break through the industrial manufacturing capacity of Liaodong by more than dozens of times, and Everbright will not be able to consume the industrial products of Liaodong.Quanxu does not have colonies all over the world, he is interested in the European market, and this war with the fifteen European countries is actually to open the European market.Once these combined fleets of fifteen European countries were defeated, they could only meet Quanxu's demands.Or else?
Jeon Wook will use naval guns to tell them that this sea belongs to the whole family's army, and if they dare to show up, they will be hit.…… Fengzhou, in ancient China, is actually more than one, one is Fengzhou in Jin'an County, that is, today's Fuzhou, as well as Fengzhou in Hubei, and Fengzhou in the Han and Tang dynasties, the location is in Inner Mongolia, which belongs to the strategic place of the soldiers.The name of Fengzhou was taken by Li Xin, as for the reason, Quan Xu did not ask, but the people of Fengzhou are mainly Caoyun workers and prisoners of rogues, and they are established at the five levels of Bao, A, Town, County, Prefecture, and Government.Like Liaodong, the towns and forts were scattered and built along the Garon River, but the Garon River has also been renamed and is now called Hushui.As for names such as counties and towns, they are relatively arbitrary, for example, now, taking advantage of the night, the place where Zheng Zhilong's army, pirates, and mercenaries landed belongs to Shenhu Town, Baguio County, Fengzhou, Luzon Prefecture.Shenhu, named after the Cao Canal worker surnamed Shen who was originally assigned here, is a town that is dissatisfied with the establishment, saying that it is a town, but in fact there are only more than 100 households, less than 300 people.Don't look at this town of less than 300 people, there are as many as 223 young men and women over the age of 18 and under the age of 35.This ratio is very scary, the living environment of the workers is very poor, they have little chance to live longer, the town guard of Shenhu Town, is the disabled soldier Shen Sifang of the whole family army during the attack on Manila City, Shen Sifang was shot in the left arm during the attack on Manila City, and his left elbow was amputated.He used his retirement money to buy 4,800 acres of land in Shenhu Town, according to the regulations, he could only allocate 800 acres of land, and the other 4,000 acres were purchased with his retirement settlement money, and he also bought two horses and two cows.Governments at all levels in Liaodong attach great importance to the resettlement of veterans, and Shen Sifang received a third-class merit once during his service, with which he could receive a pension of three taels a month until his death, plus his salary as a town guard, as well as the income from the farm, Shen Sifang's income was quite considerable.Since the whole family army has been formed, some soldiers have retired one after another, such as the elderly, those with physical disabilities, and those who do not want to work in the army, can apply for retirement.Such veterans are usually used as sheriffs in forts, or militia training instructors.With Shen Sifang's qualifications and merits, in fact, he could not directly serve as the town guard, the town guard of the Liaodong system, but a real official, directly appointed by the council, and enjoyed the treatment of the main department.In the Liaodong system, the Ming Dynasty's nine-grade official system was not adopted, but the level of later generations, for example, the level of town guard, which is basically the department level, the level of the county order is the department level, the level of the governor is the department level, and the level of the prefecture is the department level, and the government level belongs to the ministerial level.Each level of Yulu is different, as for Shen Mingze, the speaker of the Liaodong Assembly, and the Taiwan Council and the Luzon Council, it is one level higher.But what level does the first level belong to, no one knows.The news of the invasion of Shengzhou by the Westerners was sent to Fengzhou last night, and the towns along the way have been notified, and immediately entered the mobilization, as the town guard, although Shen Sifang is disabled, but has a wealth of combat experience, the people who originally lived in the farms around the town were moved to the town fort as a whole, and at the same time, he personally took fifteen or sixteen militiamen and began to inspect Shenhu Town."
Look, Guard!"
After inspecting all night, Shen Sifang was also very tired, he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes, riding on a war horse, sleeping with his eyes closed, and at this moment, a village belonging to Shenhu Town not far away, a thick smoke rose.Shen Sifang looked at the smoke in the distance, and the faint smell of rice: "Who is this, the ears are stuffed with donkey hair, let the transfer just not listen!"
”"No, town guard, that's our village, a total of twenty-three people, I personally sent them back, one is not less, I counted it three times!""
It's not good, it's a Western devil!"
While Shen Sifang was observing the village, Colonel Juan Carlos was also observing Shen Sifang and the others.Carlos pointed to a pirate leader, and then to Shen Sifang and the others, who were busy in the middle of the night, taking advantage of the high tide, and successfully landed on Luzon Island.
But they found that there was no one in these villages, and these people retreated in a hurry, and they didn't even have time to get the food in the kitchen, or even the chickens and ducks in the chicken pen.These chickens, ducks and food became food for pirates and mercenaries.The question in front of Shen Si is, what should they do now?"
Retreat!
Shen Sifang watched a large number of pirates rushing towards them, but these pirates didn't have war horses, and two-legged people couldn't outrun four-legged war horses.
As Shen Sifang and the others withdrew to Shenhu Town, the pirates also followed to Shenhu Town.
A small village, the supplies are limited, far from satisfying the appetite of the pirates, looking at the tall and sturdy Shenhu Town Fort, these pirates feel that they have discovered.
Don't look at it as just a town fort, compared to European cities, it's not bad at all.
The city walls of this town were built according to more than 1,000 households, that is, they could accommodate tens of thousands of people and made a fortune.
