Chapter 817 In order to attract Ming officials and troops to come to Xinhua Province to serve, the Ming court of the whole clan can be said to have taken great pains.First of all, in terms of military personnel, as long as they are willing to serve in new places such as Xinhua Province, Beijiang Province, Tianshan Province, and Hanhai Province, they can get 1.2, 1.5, or even twice as much.At the same time, the troops can be given priority promotion opportunities, for example, when they go to military academies for further study, the ratio of ordinary troops is 30 to 1, but the proportion of foreign troops stationed in foreign troops is only 1/10, so the chances of promotion have also been greatly improved.It is becoming more and more difficult for the Ming army to be promoted, so this kind of new overseas place has attracted some officers and soldiers who want to make meritorious contributions.But in the same way, if you want to become a Ming cabinet official, the most important thing is the experience of serving in the border, and you must have good work performance.Of course, if an official does not have the experience of serving in the border states, no matter how good he is, he can be promoted to work in various ministries directly under the Government Council, but he does not have the opportunity to become the prime minister.This may seem unfair, but it is already the greatest fairness.For example, Liaoyang Province has the best industrial facilities and economic development, and no matter which official is transferred to Liaoyang Province, as long as he does not make a mistake in his head, he can make certain achievements.However, in provinces like Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, and Huguang, it will be very difficult for officials to make achievements.Of course, the people of such inland provinces are quite conservative and easier to manage, and even if they want to make achievements, it is possible, at least, officials do not have to worry about their own lives.You can also enjoy better treatment, like the current Shen Lu, the county magistrate of Shenlu County, when he was in school, his academic performance was average, and it is said that after graduating from the Party School of the Industrial Party, he can only enter some enterprises or government departments for internship.He chose a good chance and signed up directly to Luzon.Following Li Xin into Luzon, after many years of hard work, he became one of the outstanding officials in Fengzhou, and was recommended to study at the Party School of the Industrial Party in Beijing.According to the understanding of ordinary people, he would definitely choose a relatively wealthy county to serve, but Shen Lu was very ambitious, and when he heard that the imperial court had established Xinhua Province, he was the first to sign up and come to Xinhua.As the saying goes, first come, first served, the first thing he did when he arrived in Xinhua Province was to find that the original Rio Plata Plain here, such a vast plain, actually had no name, so he took a brush and wrote the three big characters of Shenlu County crookedly on a wooden board.The first benefit he got was to obtain the naming right, which would definitely be written into the county chronicles in the future, no matter how time changed, what name Shenlu County changed to, he, Shen Lu would remain in history.Here, I have to put forward a very realistic question, that is, the principle of Chinese history, Chinese history, whether it is chronicle or chronicle, actually revolves around emperors and generals, as long as the name appears in the history book, even if there is only one sentence, this is one in a hundred, or even one in a million.For example, Lao Luo's apocryphal general Pan Feng in the Three Kingdoms, this is a famous joke circulating on the Internet, even in the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Pan Feng's appearance is only more than 40 words, and there is no record in the official history.However, a name actually speaks for itself.The surname is Pan Mingfeng, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, those who took the list of words were all from extraordinary backgrounds, and that period was the world of the Eastern Han Dynasty, which in itself speaks for itself.Although it was said that people like Yan Wentao, Lu Zhenfei, Lu Zepu and others were all prisoners and needed to use their labor to atone for their crimes, Shen Lu did not treat them as criminals, but took these people to visit the nearby living environment very friendly.To be sure, although this is the new land of the Ming Dynasty, in fact it is still a barren place, with almost nothing."
Don't look at this place as desolate, but it's all good land!"
As he spoke, Shen Lu squatted down, reached out and grabbed a handful of soil, held it in his palm, unfolded his palm, and looked at everyone: "The soil here is full of oil, and we will harvest whatever we plant, we will reclaim the land here, plant wheat, cotton, cabbage, radish, corn and soybeans, sugarcane, sugar beet and other crops, first ensure self-sufficiency and then continue to expand inland, and finally turn this continent into a paradise for the Ming Dynasty!"
”Yan Wentao said with some uneasiness: "But......
But I haven't farmed before!
”"Haven't farmed?"
Shen Lu looked at Yan Wentao's delicate skin and tender meat, and smiled faintly: "You can learn!"
”The new garrison began to build its own camp, which was a large area of primeval forest not far from the coastline, about a dozen kilometers away.There is an inexhaustible supply of timber, and there is an unknown river next to it, which is about two or three hundred meters wide.A major at the head of the garrison said excitedly: "Lord Shen, I will seconded some people to you!"
”"Major Chen, how many people do you need?""
Let's have three thousand first!"
Shen Lu nodded and said, "Yes!"
”Immediately, he stretched out his hand and pointed and transferred Yan Wentao and the others to Major Chen, whose real name was Chen Liqiu, because he was born with Liqiu, so he took this name.Listening to his name, you can know that Chen Liqiu's family background is definitely not good.In fact, Chen Liqiu's father died long after he was born, and he never saw his father at all, growing up with his widowed mother.He was lucky, though.Because his mother became Chen Ying's concubine, he became Chen Ying's adopted son.Chen Liqiu is actually a traditional man, and he doesn't want his mother to remarry Chen Ying, so after joining the army, he has always had a very strong desire to fight, and he has always been willing to go to the most dangerous place, so he wants to die a hundred.As a result, the more he died, the more he couldn't die.On the contrary, he made many meritorious contributions, and in just a few years, he was promoted from a small soldier to a major regiment commander.This time when Xinhua Province was established, he volunteered to come to Xinhua Province.Yan Wentao looked at the big trees that were thicker than his waist: "We were exiled here just to do this little work?"
”"What do you say?"
Chen Liqiu said angrily: "Of course!
Do you think that we have sent you here thousands of miles to invite you to come for a vacation?
Or do you think that you should come over and continue to be your son-in-law?
”"If you don't do it, why?"
Chen Liqiu didn't bother to pay attention to Yan Wentao, turned his head and told the soldiers beside him: "Keep an eye on him, you can't complete the task, you won't be given food today!"
”The opportunity is in front of everyone, just see if you can seize it.is like Lu Zhenfei, after all, he is a big man who has been a secretary and a prince.He knew what was going on in his own family, and if he was allowed to work, he would certainly not be as good as a young man.After all, he is now in his forties, almost fifty years old, and he is already considered an old man in the Ming Dynasty.He looked at the three words of Shen Lu County inscribed by Shen Lu himself, put forward his opinions in a targeted manner, patted Shen Lu's ass, and then said without a trace, this word is too bad and a little embarrassing.Shen Lu also knows his own affairs, he is different from Lu Zhenfei, Lu Zhenfei is from a traditional private school, the word is the façade, and the writing determines whether he can be admitted to Xiucai and Juren.However, Quan's side doesn't ask for it, after all, they, Quan's students, need to learn too many things, and the words, as long as they are neatly written, it doesn't matter whether they are good or not, whether they have style, or whether they are artistic.In the exchange with Shen Lu, Lu Zhenfei used his erudition and talent to easily conquer Shen Lu, and Shen Lu also saw that this little old man should be a person who had been a big official.Lu Zhenfei didn't hide it, he only needed Shen Lu to investigate his information, his resume and information were in Shen Lu's hands, and he frankly admitted: "The old man has done the imperial history, and the governor has been the ...... of Caoyun" Shen Lu was in awe.The people who have been the prince and the secretary of the ministry have not been beheaded, and they still have the opportunity to be exiled, which shows that this product must be extraordinary, and there are not many people who have been pardoned by Quan Xu in the entire small court of the Southern Ming Dynasty.Lu Zhenfei was appointed by Shen Lu as Shenlu County Cheng on the spot, but Lu Zhenfei decided to let Shen Lu continue to exploit the new loopholes of the Ming Law.Why can't Shenlu County become the Shenzhou of Xinhua Province?
Although Daming is a province, government (state), county, town, Bao, A six-level administrative system, but the government has canceled the upper government, the middle government and the lower government, the nearest government will be merged, but the difference between the state and the government is roughly the difference between the fourth-level city and the third-level city.Measuring the state's approval, including population, economy, education, and people's income, in Lu Zhenfei's view, none of this is a problem.Shenlu County, with all the geographical conditions to become Shenzhou, has a wharf here, and is also the hub of Xinhua Province and Daming, how can it be just a county?
The benefits of shipping alone are enough to make Shenlu County rich quickly.Under Lu Zhenfei's reminder, Shen Lu felt reasonable.Say it, then let's get started.The city was immediately expanded, and all the county town areas currently planned were thrown into the port area, and the city site continued to move inland, first of all, to ensure that this Shenzhou city would not be attacked by the navy's naval guns.So, I moved fifteen kilometers to the northwest, which was exactly the edge of the forest.Although it is more difficult to build a city there, after all, the distance of fifteen kilometers or thirty miles will make it more difficult to receive supplies.However, they also have a natural river, which was preemptively standardized as the Chen River by Major General Chen.Well, these are all conditions for advance immigration.You can name the river, I can name the place, and even the place that has just been explored, there is an earthen mountain of about a hundred meters, that is, hills.It was named Mantou Mountain for a common man.The new Shenzhou City, under the command of Shen Lu, began to be built, and at the same time as the construction of Shenzhou City, a simple wharf was also built on the bank of the Chen River, which could be connected to the port of Shenlu County by water.In short, the immigrants have adapted to life here.What can you do if you don't fit in?
They can't swim back to the Ming Dynasty.
