Chapter 878 Stay or Leave Although Emperor Chongzhen really wants to change the Ming Dynasty in Australia, there are some things that really can't be made up for by hard work.The life of the local people in Daming is getting better and better, and the efforts of the people are inseparable, but the innate advantages of the local people of Daming are more related, these advantages include a large population, the government's policy inclination, the financial support of the bank, the technical guidance of the expert team, and finally the efforts of the people.However, the Australian Ming is different.Although the Ming Dynasty in Australia did not have a department of Sinong Temple, and the rules of persuading agriculture and mulberry were the household department, in fact, the household department only needed to collect taxes and issue official salaries, as for other ......
It can only be said that inertia dictates.These advantages are not available in Australia, so it is very difficult to replicate the success of Daming in Australia, and it is not enough to be full of enthusiasm.In other words, it is not enough for Chongzhen to be willing to change.Obviously, Chongzhen also realized this problem, at the beginning of Lu Xiangsheng's establishment of the Tianxiong Army, the soldiers of the Tianxiong Army took the young and strong of the Daimyo Mansion as the old foundation, and these soldiers were ordinary people and peasants.But over the years, they have gradually become officials with Lu Xiangsheng's expedition to the east and west, and the southern and northern wars.Chongzhen also gave these sergeants official titles, as long as people have rights, they will think of using power for personal gain, many people bother to work hard to reclaim the famine, and clean up a piece of raw land into ripe land, good land.The officials of the Ming Dynasty in Australia, regardless of civil and military, are like sharks smelling blood, rushing up, or setting up a name, or coercion and temptation, or forcibly seizing, in short, officials and nobles will turn such good land into their own good land.It is not enough to have good land, someone must plant it, and the people have become yeoman farmers, who will be tenants for them?
It can be said that the Australian Ming Dynasty has copied the corruption and land annexation of the Zhu family, making there fewer and fewer homesteaders in Australia, not because of the decrease in Australian immigration, in fact, Australia is alone in the sea, there is no sea, and it is very difficult to escape from Australia.But the problem is that the people of the Ming Dynasty in Australia are just like the original people, they can't afford to provoke officials and the government, so they can afford to hide.Although the population of Australia did not exceed 100,000 in Chongzhen, in fact, the population of Australia was not less than 200,000 or 300,000, and these people either hid in one place or dozens of families and did not come out to be self-sufficient, or they migrated inland.You must know that Australia is very large, with forests, mountains, and plains.In short, Chongzhen's manpower only occupies a small part of Australia.Chongzhen's concerns, Lu Xiangsheng also knew, but he had no way to care.Those who took the lead in violating the law and discipline were those of Lu Xiangsheng's old department, or the relatives of the big members of the court, these people followed Chongzhen to the sea to build a country, and lost all their family wealth, if he was ruthless, they would run to Chongzhen and cry and make trouble.Among them, Zhou Kui, the father of Queen Zhou, is the most hateful, and now Zhou Kui has no less than 300,000 mu of land in his name, two-thirds of which are ripe fields, and they were all taken by him by force.Lu Xiangsheng sometimes envied Quan Xu, Quan Xu is more thorough in this regard, first of all, the army's ideological education work has not been pulled down, the whole family of soldiers and soldiers know that they are ordinary people, it is their bounden duty to protect the family and defend the country, and after the soldiers have enjoyed many benefits and treatments, they cannot bully others.In fact, if you are not strict, you must know that it is too easy for a professionally trained soldier to deal with ordinary people, and once they develop this habit, then there is no chance of survival for ordinary people.How can it be so easy to make a fortune, Xinhua Farm just started, Quanxu in order to solve technical problems deliberately transferred some experts from Daming, in order to improve livestock breeds all over the world to buy breeding cattle and sheep, in order to improve farm income simply established a large number of wineries and textile factories in Xinhua Province, all thanks to the strong financing ability of Daming Bank, but also to catch up with the change of power once in a century, and then there is now Xinhua Province.When Quanxu developed the local economy, he had sufficient funds, part of which came from the dividends brought by the Industrial Revolution, and partly from the capture and plunder of the Ming Royal Navy and Royal Army.Now if the Australian Ming wants to make money on the people's farm, the first thing to solve is the problem of funding.If you want to say that Emperor Chongzhen has no money, it can't be said, he now has several gold mines, and the gold in the inner treasury is as much as more than one million taels of gold, but the problem is that no matter how much money there is, it is useless in the Ming Dynasty in Australia, and money can't buy things.Chongzhen also wanted to copy Quanxu's model and established the Ming Imperial Bank, which specifically provided funds for Australian immigrants, but there were many bad incidents where farmers disappeared directly after loans, and then Chongzhen lost more than two million taels of silver, so he stopped lending money to immigrants.Dare to owe Emperor Chongzhen money, whether it is a debt or a person who has disappeared from the world, they are not ordinary people, this matter cannot be investigated in detail, and under careful inspection, it is a piece of chicken feathers.In response to that sentence, the scriptures are good scriptures, and you can read them crookedly when you meet a crooked monk.Regardless of attracting immigrants from the Ming Dynasty, we are now in the great era of world immigration, especially Australia occasionally encounters immigrants from Europe, and new immigrants from Australia come to directly give houses, land, and reimbursement of ferry tickets, which gives a lot of "smart people" opportunities.The most common operation is to use the farm as collateral to get a sum of money from the Ming Imperial Bank, and then go to a new country to start all over again, and this money is a net profit.In this process, the Ming Imperial Bank is Chongzhen's, and Chongzhen gets the land and the house to use wool?
It's still him who loses."
Lu Qing, what should I do now?"
Now Chongzhen is full of worries, but there is nothing to do.In all fairness, Quan Xu really did not fool Chongzhen, and he knew everything about the development plan and development model of Liaodong.But the problem is that Chongzhen has no way to replicate Quanxu's success in Australia.Lu Xiangsheng had nothing to do except smile bitterly.Because Chongzhen was too anxious, he had just established three cities, so he named them Tokyo, Nanjing and Beijing respectively, and established three prefectures and fifteen counties.A whole bunch of officials alone have been appointed.Seeing that Lu Xiangsheng didn't speak, Chongzhen said: "I want to promote the national farm, nationalize all the land, distribute it by the state, and do not allow resale between private individuals, the people are equivalent to working on the national farm, completing the daily work, and getting the corresponding remuneration......"
Without waiting for Chongzhen to finish speaking, Lu Xiangsheng hurriedly interrupted: "This is even worse!"
”When he was in Liaodong, Lu Xiangsheng really wanted to take this way, and Quan Xu raised the issue of a big pot of rice, which would discourage personal enthusiasm.Chongzhen asked puzzledly, "Why?"
”Lu Xiangsheng didn't dare to mention that this was Quan Xu's words, so he hurriedly changed his words: "Not necessarily, Your Majesty can try it." ”Now there are a lot of problems in Australia, first of all, there are too many land, there are many animals, you can do it casually, you can ensure that you don't starve to death, there is government or no government, for the people, there is no impact at all.The people of Daming have long been accustomed to the lifestyle of the pastoral self-sufficiency economic model, they want to eat eggs, raise some chickens by themselves, raise some duck eggs if they want to eat duck eggs, want to wear clothes, can weave their own cloth, and make their own clothes.As for the tools of production and life, there are many iron ores in Australia, and the quality of iron ore is as high as sixty or seventy.If you want to talk about farming, in the Ming Dynasty, in the case of more than ten acres per capita, there is no food at all if you don't have refined seeds, there is no problem at all in Australia, 100 acres is not enough, then 200 acres, it really doesn't work, then 2,000 acres, no need to plant, take the seeds and scatter them casually, you can also have a good harvest.Lu Xiangsheng sighed.To put it bluntly, this is the problem of the pattern.Quan Xu is not without wives and concubines, before Quan Xu got married, his concubines like Tang (Sanniang) and Xin (Erniang) relatives would neither work in Quan's business, nor would they be as greedy as Zhou Kui.Quan Xu's brother-in-law Tang Sixi, who goes to school like an ordinary person, makes a mistake, and if he should be beaten, he will be beaten, not to mention Tang Sixi, even Quan Xu's children are the same.The problem is that none of these Chongzhen can do it.The old man who has followed Quan Xu for several years can deal with what he should do if he violates the law, and there is no mercy to talk about.Can Chongzhen do it?"
Liaodong is not bad......
Chongzhen said with a wry smile on his face: "Why can't we do it?"
”The root cause of the disease is actually very simple, to put it bluntly, it is a problem of the system, and it is also a problem of human nature.Now the peasants of the entire Ming Dynasty, no matter how much land they plant or how much grain they harvest, the imperial court no longer collects taxes, and only pays taxes when they sell grain, so as to avoid the problem of poor people having no food rations.Now Quanxu has revised the principle of land allocation, not according to the capitation, but according to the reclamation of land, with 60 mu as a share, you can apply for one after the reclamation is completed, and you can apply again after the completion of the land.The peasants' enthusiasm is even higher, some people work tirelessly to cultivate the land, eat in the fields, and people are tired and livestock are exhausted to death.Now the Australian Ming Dynasty does not have this kind of enthusiasm and enthusiasm, lazy people everywhere, and ragged people are everywhere.When Lu Xiangsheng and Chongzhen were thinking hard about how to increase the population of Daming in Australia and improve the economy of Daming in Australia, Quan Xu was also approving a document."
For those old stubborn, there is nothing polite, those gentry are really stupid and ridiculous, everyone is a Ming person, how can there be any difference between scholars, farmers, and merchants, all of them have to work hard to build a better Ming Empire, those stubborn, conservative, some people are still immersed in unrealistic fantasies, even if it is the Ming period of the Zhu family, the power and wealth of the world are in their hands?
It's never been a belonging!
”It's different now, Quan Xu now has to consider the problem from the perspective of the entire Ming Empire, of course it is better for the gentry to be willing to integrate into the Ming Empire, but if they are really unwilling, then simply leave the Ming Empire.
