Chapter VIII New Regulations
When Chen Wenhui arrived in Qingchun City, it was almost the New Year. Originally, when she was in Xinguang City, Wan Meizhen calculated that the New Year was about to be, so she had to keep Chen Wenhui to spend the New Year in Xinguang City before leaving. However, Chen Wenhui is worried about her city, where does she have the heart to celebrate the New Year. I said goodbye and took those sons and brothers to Luzon.
After five or six days of sailing, we finally arrived at Puning City, a black city on Luzon Island. Puning City has been around for some years, and there is already a small city here, and there are many houses. However, it is more of a construction site, because all the craftsmen and people have already arrived, and the first batch of land has been reclaimed. The first batch of houses, and even the third batch, have been built and sold. Many residents have moved into their new homes. Of course, there are still many more who do not have a house to live in, and they all live in tents. Seeing this situation, Chen Wenhui was even more anxious to go to his own city to have a look. What if these people don't have a house to live in, such sanitary conditions, living conditions are worse than on a ship, can they not get sick? Fortunately, the doctors who have been prepared are relatively sufficient, and the medicinal materials can keep up, so there has not been a large number of deaths. However, there are still some who die, and many more are sick. The daily cost of medical expenses alone is huge.
Hearing the introduction of such a situation by the people of the Hei family, Chen Wenhui, Chen Wenlin, Tian Jingye and others, where can they still sit, they hurriedly took the people and took the boat in batches, and they were going to their own city.
But he was stopped by the head of the black family, the head of the black family is Chen Wenhui's old acquaintance, the city lord is Ge Shimao, the deputy hall master of the Calligraphy and Painting Hall, and the leading general of the Black Iron Army is Tang Guangqi, the deputy hall master of the Black Knife Hall. Tang Guanghui's younger brother. The deputy city lord is Shi Kaiji, the deputy hall master of the Alchemy Hall.
Ge Shimao said: "You have not been there for this period of time. They are all your stewards, led by the disciples of our black family, to lead the people to the places you have chosen in advance to build the city. Those cities are all places that our Hei family has explored for hundreds of years, and the last places they found are all near the sea, there are natural harbors, and the distance between them is also large, which can not hinder future development. And. Those cities are surrounded by the least number of indigenous tribes. But even so, because there are too many of us. The city was built, the wasteland was opened, and the movement was too big, and our Puning City was fine. There weren't many tribes around, and there were some. They are all good friends with us, and they often trade with us. But your three cities are all raw, and those natives are unreasonable people. Poorer and more belligerent, they see that your cities are not yet built. However, there is food. There is something to drink. When cooking, the smell of food can smell far away, which naturally attracts them, and they have already begun to attack your station. Of course, your guards are strong. In addition, we have allocated 500 Black Iron Troops to you in each city, so, for the time being, there are no casualties, on the contrary, those natives have suffered a lot of damage. However, this is not the usual way, and there will definitely be many more things like this in the future. Let's take advantage of the fact that the four city lords are here to discuss this matter. ā
As soon as Ge Shimao said this, Duan Huaiyu became happy and said: "This is a good thing, I'm worried, if these natives are reasonable, they really can't treat them well, and now, they actually want to deal with us without opening their eyes, then we just want to kill." ā
These words are exactly what Tang Guangqi, the general of the Black Iron Army, meant. Tang Guangqi immediately said: "Although our Puning City has not been attacked, our four cities are all prosperous, and we are all lost, and we advance and retreat together. We will definitely help you deal with these natives. ā
Chen Wenhui rolled her eyes and said: "I'm really afraid that the world will not be chaotic." You two have the right tempers. Lord Katsura, this matter has already been discussed when we were in Shinkoshi City. We and some of the elders of your black family have reached an agreement, and they are all on this deed paper, you see. If there is no problem, all four of us will have to do the same. These ordinances were to be enacted on the walls of our four cities, or in the places where the inhabitants lived. It is necessary to name the law and the law, so that the prohibition can be enforced and the city can be governed well. ā
Ge Shimao was very happy, and he was busy watching it with Tang Guangqi and Shi Kaiji of the Black Family. This is about the application conditions, preferential policies, and restrictions for residents. And then there's something about these natives. If they are compliant, we will let them into our city, and like everyone else, they can apply for residency. If you don't obey, it's simple, just open the killing ring.
Ge Shimao didn't say anything after reading it, and looked at Tian Jingye and the others without saying anything. Tian Jingye didn't understand what he asked, it was a little strange, Chen Wenlin smiled and said: "I know, the Lord of Gecheng is afraid of such a big killing, cousin Jingye, these people from Confucianism don't agree, right?" Actually, don't worry about this, the things on this deed paper are all discussed by us together, and everyone agrees. ā
Ge Shimao laughed and said: "Lord Tiancheng, I want to look down on you, originally, those things of Confucianism, we all think that they are hypocritical benevolence and false righteousness, for fear that you will also learn badly, but I didn't expect you to be open-minded." Okay, that's it, we're going to make friends too. ā
Tian Jingye smiled bitterly, in fact, he couldn't accept this killing thing. As a Confucian student, how could he accept it? However, he is not just a Confucian now, he is still the city lord who represents the interests of the family and the interests of the emperor, and there are tens of thousands of people under him, and being merciful to the enemy is to kill himself, in this case, he has to agree. I still thought in my heart that in the future history books, I am afraid that he will leave a bad name.
Chen Wenhui said: "Actually, these policies, in addition to dealing with the natives, many of them are the same as those in Xinguang City, but this time I stayed in Xinguang City for a few days and found that many of the pioneers have obtained the qualifications of residents, but later rich businessmen bought the land opened by these people in order to also obtain the qualifications for land reclamation, so that they have land, and when they buy houses, they also have resident status." Such a piece of land can be bought and sold several times. Actually, there is nothing like this, as a government, we can receive taxes every time we make a transaction. However, this can lead to some people buying land just to obtain residency status, and then sell it to the next family. Therefore, I asked my eldest brother to build yƬ, and in the future, the identity of the residents will be checked once a year, and if it is found that the land is gone, the qualification of the residents will be cancelled. In this way, those who open up the land can be encouraged to continue to open up the land, and those who buy land can also farm with peace of mind. ā
Ge Shimao said: "This is a good addition. We're like that too, right? ā
Chen Wenhui said: "Yes, this point is also on the deed paper, if you all agree, we will release it uniformly?" ā
Ge Shimao hurriedly glanced at the deputy city lord and the general, and both of them nodded. Ge Shimao said: "I agree. As soon as everyone saw that the discussion was almost over, Chen Wenhui asked: "I see that now your business and trade in Puning City have been carried out, right?" I just don't know what happened to our cities? ā
Ge Shimao hurriedly said: "Our Puning City already has production, ores, agricultural products, fruits, and some special products. The natives in the vicinity also often come to trade. So, a lot of businessmen come to trade. Now there are Xinguang City, and the merchants of Shanghai City are trading here. There is also trade in your cities, but not much, mostly by merchants who sell to your residents. For example, Japanese slaves and the like. Occasionally buy something, like wood cut down by your residents. Only Qingchun City has produced more than one, they already have furniture production, and many of the workmanship styles are first-class. The goods were shipped to our Puning City, and some of our people in Puning City also bought them. Hee-hee, you see, the Eight Immortals Table I have here is produced in Qingchun City. ā
Everyone was surprised at first glance, and Tian Jingye said: "How can it be so fast, Qingchun City has already produced?" We're a lot slower. Sister Wen Hui, you can't hide your secrets, you must teach us more. ā
Chen Wenhui smiled, but did not agree.
Chen Wenlin hurriedly said: "What is there to teach here, Wen Hui will not hide her secrets, you have seen it, and when you go back, you will urge it to do so." However, let me tell you first, don't say that you can't learn it, even I can't learn it, we can only make daily necessities for our own people, but we can't make such fine things, where do we have Wenhui and those craftsmen from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? ā
That's when you say that, everyone remembers. Everyone has craftsmen, it's just that everyone is an ordinary craftsman, Wen Hui is an ordinary craftsman, and there are top ones. Moreover, this top-level one can be regarded as the first in Da Chu. Wen Hui herself thinks that it should be the best in the world. These people want to learn, where is it so easy to learn.
As soon as he said this, Tian Jingye had nothing to say.
Chen Wenhui thought that he couldn't hit them at the beginning, and hurriedly said: "In fact, the geographical location of each city is different, the production is also different, and the natural path is different, so why learn the same thing." The ruler is short and the inch is long, my city has good carpentry, good furniture, your city has more food, and his city has more trade, so isn't it good to have its own characteristics? ā
When he said this, everyone thought about it, Bai Junyi said: "Zhao, isn't Da Chu like this?" Suzhou City specializes in silk, and Heyang City specializes in producing grain. Each city has its own characteristics. Our Tongren City also has the characteristics of Tongren City. ā
Everyone nodded. (To be continued)
