Chapter 654 The Revival of the Mo Family Quan Xu took a hookah made of sterling silver, filled it with tobacco, lit it, and took a deep breath, it didn't taste as good as Ziyun, but it was stronger.After a long time, Quan Xu let out a long sigh.Some things are unavoidable, when Quan Xu took Luzon, in fact, the Spaniards had already started to grow tobacco in Luzon, and at the same time, started the tobacco industry.Quan Xu himself was smoking, as the so-called King of Chu had a thin waist, and he starved to death in the palace.Although Quan Xu is not a king, he is a role model in Liaodong, because of his smoking, which has influenced many people.The number of smokers in the whole army has formed a large group, and before you know it, the tobacco industry in Luzon has grown.By the time Jeon Wook knew, it was too late.Many of the soldiers of the family have become accustomed to tobacco, and these soldiers of the whole family did not smoke to relieve fatigue, but to fight off the mosquitoes that are ubiquitous on Luzon.As a subtropical region, mosquitoes are very scary, however, when tobacco burns, the smell begins to keep those mosquitoes away from the crowd.As an old smoker, Lao Cheng has never been afraid of mosquitoes, because the smell of smoke is too strong.In this way, in a very short period of time, the area of tobacco plantations in Luzon exceeded 900,000 mu, and how much tobacco could be produced in 900,000 mu?
That's a huge number.Everyone knows that smoking is harmful to health, but everything is a double-edged sword, there are advantages and disadvantages, and we cannot just deny everything one-sidedly.In a word, a healthy lifestyle is the most important, Zhang Xueliang and Zhang Shaoshuai are a person who eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has lived for more than 100 years.Everything is suitable for people, Taizu, Taizong, Stalin, Churchill, Roosevelt were smokers and lived an average life of eighty-three years.Hitler, Mussolini, Hideki Tojo, Hirohito were non-smokers and had an average life expectancy of fifty-one years.If you know the habits of Hitler's life, you will be surprised, this man is simply a saint.Now some people in Nanyang have begun to grow tobacco, and it is foreseeable that tobacco will become a high-value cash crop in Daming.In the near future, I'm afraid cigarettes will also appear.The Chinese people grew up in East Asia, where the pressure of competition was huge, and there were hundreds of millions of people in some places, and farming was the only way to survive, and in the era when the average yield per mu was two or three hundred catties, 50 percent of the land rent was the norm, and it was common to pour 46, 37, or even 28, and they did not have the qualifications to survive if they did not work hard.With each new crop, there are actually very few immigrants in Liaodong, and subsidies have been abolished, but the problem is that there are more and more ships coming and going to Liaodong.However, immigrants from Liaodong are now predominantly wealthy.Because the government in Liaodong has canceled the subsidies for houses and ferry tickets, even the cheapest economy cabin in Liaodong requires three taels of silver for a person, and if you want to live a better life on the ship and have a separate bedroom, then you need five or six taels of silver, and if you need a higher level, you need more than a dozen taels of silver per person.If you don't have an understanding of the purchasing power of silver, a dozen taels of silver is almost two cows, in this case, Chen Fugui, one of the immigrants from Nanyang, arrived in Liaodong with a family of thirteen people.This is a special case, and it is limited to Nanyang people.The young man who led the team was wearing a black robe, with two revolver pistols hanging on his chest, and a huge backpack on his back, which looked a little nondescript.But Chen Fugui heard that a person who dresses like this is an official in Liaodong.It just made Chen Fugui feel a little incredible, this kind of hand system is a new invention of the Liaodong Gun Bureau, and it is also the best firearm used by the rich people in the Central Plains to buy self-defense.Although this handcuff has a range of only twenty or thirty paces, it can shoot six bullets at a time.In Chen Fugui's impression, the pistol is not only a symbol of status, but also means that he has the power of life and death, and can disregard people's lives at will, such people are not easy to mess with.However, this young man named Shen Changhao is very kind, he speaks fluent northern Mandarin, and has an amiable attitude towards people, just when they first met, Shen Changhao gave Chen Fugui six children, one candy each.When this kind of crystal clear fruit candy was in Nanyang Mansion, Chen Fugui had seen it, one catty needed two taels of silver, and ordinary people couldn't afford to eat it at all, this kind of candy was very large, and one catty was called a dozen, which meant that Shen Changhao almost gave out five dollars of silver, which made Chen Fugui's good impression of Shen Changhao suddenly born."
Mr.
Shen, I heard that our people came to Liaodong and gave the house and land......
Chen Fugui said with hope, a piece of land that truly belongs to him is the eternal obsession in the hearts of all Chinese people."
That was before, and now this policy has been canceled......"
Shen Changhao said bluntly, this is the benefit of daring to eat crabs, those people who immigrated to Liaodong in the early years have become Liaodong farmers, and now these people who have immigrated to Liaodong, although they also have opportunities, but the difficulty is definitely much higher.Seeing that Chen Fugui was a little disappointed, Shen Changhao introduced: "Of course, it is not without opportunities, if you perform well enough during your work, you can join the Liaodong household registration after three years, and then you can go to the bank for a loan, plus your savings in the past few years, to buy a land and house that really belongs to you." ”Chen Fugui was overjoyed, he didn't expect to come to Liaodong to divide the house and land, as long as there was hope.Yes, as long as there is hope, many people will work hard for hope, afraid that there is no hope at all, that is the real despair.Although it is impossible to divide the land, it is still possible to divide the house.But the weather in Liaodong is now distributed to them, and it is useless for them to emigrate, they can neither plow nor plant, and throw them into the wilderness, except to freeze to death, there is no other result.Under the leadership of Shen Changhao, Chen Fugui completed the registration, Chen Fugui has six children, a mother over 50 years old, and two younger brothers and two younger sisters.Shen Changhao looked at Chen Fugui and said: "Your family, only you and your daughter-in-law are considered laborers, three days later, you go to work in the train factory, as for these ten children, the eldest is only twelve years old, according to the regulations of Liaodong, all of them must enter the school to study, at least to complete the compulsory stage of education, the school is in the town, every day at noon and evening to manage the meal, you can choose to live in the school at night, you can also choose to go home to stay, is there any problem?"
”"Mr.
Shen, how much does this tuition cost?""
The school doesn't charge a fee, but you and your daughter-in-law have to work hard, otherwise the school will cancel your child's opportunity to study."
Although Liaodong is known as heaven, it is not really heaven, this point is really the lifeblood of the people, for the opportunity for their children to study, even if there are no other benefits, they will work hard."
Don't worry, don't worry, we must work hard, otherwise can we still be considered a person?"
Chen Fugui was grateful, and he felt that Liaodong was indeed heaven.If you want to enter the industrial age, it is impossible without a qualified army of workers, and Liaodong has reduced the free distribution of land, and these surplus lands are concentrated on the military families of the whole army and those craftsmen with special skills.Most immigrants either work or do business, but the problem is that doing business also requires costs, and not everyone can become a businessman.Chen Fugui was assigned a house, which is actually the staff dormitory of the train factory, a row of neat brick houses, not a small area, almost half an acre in the front yard and back of the house, with a total of eight bedrooms, two halls, and two supporting rooms.The house is obviously uninhabited, and both the doors and windows have a strong smell of tung oil.The surprises did not stop, although the house was new, all kinds of simple furniture, such as beds, cabinets, tables, stoves, stoves, pots and pans, were readily available.However, early the next morning, Chen Fugui personally led his two younger brothers, two younger sisters, and six children and ten children to the school to register together, and he didn't want to delay the children for even a minute.The literacy rate in Liaodong has increased more than ten times in just a few years, which is not all due to Quan Xu's contributions, but also partly due to the Chinese people's yearning and pursuit of knowledge.If it is not a last resort, the Chinese people will not disagree with their children going to school, like now, the economic development of Liaodong has been greatly improved, and those people who immigrated in advance have lived out of poverty and entered a well-off life.They have a lot of food, meat, milk, and all kinds of preserved fruits, and many parents of students donate all kinds of materials and money to the school.For example, Qingshan Town in Xiangping County, where Chen Fugui is now located, originally belonged to Fengzhou, which is Dandong, and because there are as many as 11 lead mines here, it has formed an industrial city based on resource development, and the people here are quite wealthy, even if the people who have been allocated are very rich.Qingshan Town School has received a total of 70,000 taels of silver from all walks of life in Chongzhen in the past seven years, which basically meets the expenses of Qingshan Town School, and of course, there are also a large number of donations of meat, rice noodles, cloth and other materials.When Chen Fugui came in, he took ten ragged children, each of whom was given two sets of clothes and two pairs of shoes, and the teacher said earnestly: "Although the school uniform does not cost money, but thrift is the traditional virtue of our Chinese nation, you must cherish your clothes, whether new or old, you must be clean, coming to Liaodong is a new beginning, to start your new life with a new look!"
”When Chen Fugui's family moved into Qingshan Town School, Mojia College of Liaodong University in Jinzhou also ushered in a new school season.Mo Hua, the ninety-fourth Mo family giant, looked at the nearly 1,000 students in front of him, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "The ancestors and ancestors are on top, and the Mo family can reproduce the grand occasion of the year again!"
”Mojia College is an independent campus of Liaodong University, covering an area of about 640 acres, with an independent college canteen, college library, and six five-story teaching buildings, which can be divided into 144 classes, 16 student dormitory buildings, 4 laboratory buildings, and 128 professors' villas.All the classrooms are spacious, the windows are bright and clean, the hygiene is very good, the floor is not paved, only simple cement hardening, even so, it still makes Mohua feel very luxurious.
